Chapter 253: A New Crisis on the Eastern Front Is Coming

Field Marshal Richthofen looked at the surprised expressions of the Japanese soldiers with a smile and was very happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Because just now, when he led the forward ships of his aircraft carrier fleet to the front of the Japanese army, Koga Mineichi and Vice Admiral Toyoda were full of contempt; They all felt that they were the most powerful navy in the world, and they didn't look at the German navy at all.

It's just that when all of Field Marshal Hitthoven's aircraft carrier fleet appeared intact in front of these arrogant Japanese navies, they were frightened.

Because the aircraft carrier fleet led by Field Marshal Hitthofen had a total of 3 Midway aircraft carriers and 40 cruisers; 18 heavy cruisers and 22 light cruisers, respectively.

In addition, there were 18 battleships, and 15 destroyers, and 4 refueling ships, as well as 10 transports.

The battleships were mainly based on the Tirpitz battleship and the Bismarck battleship exchanged by Chen Yanlong.

And there were 5 battleships Tirpitz and 5 Bismarck, while the remaining 8 battleships were all Iowa-class battleships.

Moreover, there are more than 100 new carrier-based F-8D fighters in the sky above these battleships and aircraft carriers, patrolling and on alert.

Therefore, seeing such a shocking scene, how could Koga Mineichi and the first rank officer of the Toyota Deputy Military Department not be shocked and think that they were dreaming.

"Didn't you say that the German Navy did not have aircraft carriers and carrier-based ones? Mud Horse: What is the situation now! Why do they have so many advanced aircraft carriers and carriers, even those battleships are first-class sea overlords! ”

After being taken aback for a long time, Koga Feng stood stupidly on his main ship and pinched his face, and when he felt pain, he still muttered in disbelief.

"How could the Germans have such a formidable aircraft carrier fleet! Their establishment is simply a bombardment, is this still the ordinary aircraft carrier fleet we know? Both the size of our air fleet and the size of the US aircraft carrier fleet have been completely blown up by them. ”

At the same time, Deputy Takedai Toyoda, who was observing the situation in the command room of the other main ship, also stared at the German aircraft carrier fleet on the sea without blinking, pinching his thighs and muttering in shock.

In fact, in addition to their surprise and disbelief, those pilots of the Japanese kamikaze who had just arrived at the German aircraft carrier training base also opened their mouths as exaggerated as they wanted, staring at the situation in front of them.

Because there are absolutely at least 18 Midway aircraft carriers in front of them, and there are at least more than 300 new carrier-based F-8D fighters flying and training in the sky above them.

As for the F6F Hellcat fighters, and the F4U Corsair fighters were used as backup aircraft for training.

Even the Ar 234 jet fighters that had just arrived were sent back to the Army in eclipse.

"Is this really the German Navy we know? Didn't our commander say that the German Navy was scum? Doesn't it mean that our aircraft carrier fleet is the number one fleet in the world? ”

"Why do I see now that the German army has so many advanced carrier-based aircraft, and aircraft carriers! Is this a dream for mud horses? ”

"Who knows! I feel like I'm dumbfounded, too! God knows what's going on now! How could the Germans have so many advanced carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers! ”

"Lying grass! Lying on the grass! Good thing I'm in Germany! This time, we can finally feast our eyes, and maybe we will be able to fly these advanced carrier-based aircraft in the future! ”

"I think these German carrier-based aircraft are definitely stronger than our Imperial Zero fighters, and those Hellcat and F4U "Corsair" fighters of the US military! ”

"Oh! How did you turn around so quickly! Didn't you laugh at the German Navy in the transport planes just now on your way here? Why is it so fast in disguise now! Mud horses, what about your faces? What about your imperial dignity? Can you not be so woody bottom line, okay! ”

"You want face and bottom line so much, then you don't want to fly these advanced carrier-based aircraft of the German army!"

"You don't want it! Your whole family doesn't want it! ”

As soon as they saw the advanced aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft of the German army, all the Japanese pilots turned from their original surprise to enthusiastic discussions.

At this moment, they can't wait to become the pilots of the German aircraft carrier fleet and be able to fly the advanced carrier-based aircraft F-8D fighters in front of them.

It's just that the carrier-based aircraft used by Marshal DΓΆnitz for them were Japanese Zero fighters, of course, these fighters were exchanged by Chen Yanlong, otherwise the German army would not have produced them themselves and purchased them from Japan.

Moreover, the reason why Chen Yanlong only used Zero fighters for these Japanese pilots was because he treated these Japanese pilots as cannon fodder at all, so he had no plan to sell the other party's heart.

The so-called cannon fodder is dead and dead, and it can be replaced with another one, and there is no sense of harm at all.

After seeing these Zero fighters, all the Japanese pilots had bitter faces and stared pitifully at the German carrier-based F-8D fighters training and flying.

If Ki Ye had seen these German carrier-based F-8D fighters, then these Japanese pilots would have happily boasted of their Zero fighters, and even disdained the German carrier-based aircraft.

It's just that there is no harm without contrast, and there is no desire to desire something better.

While the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet and new carrier-based aircraft stunned all the Japanese Navy and their pilots, Chen Yanlong was on his way to their air force training bases in Mirch and Garland.

Because he decided that if the British and American allies did not launch the Sicilian campaign in the short term, then he would find a way to counterattack the garrison bases in Tunisia and Algiers occupied by the British and American forces.

Of course, the first unit to be deployed to counterattack these places is the air force, and it is also necessary to use the aviation unit with the most powerful combat effectiveness and the most advanced aircraft to fight for air supremacy.

Once the Germans were able to fully control air supremacy, it would be crucial for them to counterattack the British, American, and Soviet-occupied Tunisia and Africa.

It's just that Chen Yanlong didn't know that Stalin was also gathering a large-scale air force and preparing for a comprehensive strategic counterattack against the German army on the Eastern Front.

A larger, more difficult battle than the Battle of Sicily was gradually approaching rapidly on the Eastern Front.
