"There are a total of 4 core aircraft carriers of the enemy, and they are also the most advanced Essex-class aircraft carriers, and there are still 32 destroyers left to escort, the scale is still huge, and the strength still exists!"

When the German submarine forces and flying units were preparing to raid the aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Cunningham; Dönitz also received a report from their reconnaissance fleet in the air, and skimmed through it.

After reading the report, Dönitz's response was to continue to attack his submarine forces and aviation units.

"Marshal! We have a lot of casualties now, so why do we continue to engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the British and American aircraft carrier fleets? ”

After watching Dönitz continue to issue combat orders, the captain of the Kafir-Midway aircraft carrier beside Dönitz was full of confusion.

"Because our current morale is not inferior to that of the other side, I hope to be able to sink more British and American ships and carrier-based aircraft in one go, and then evacuate immediately!"

Dönitz couldn't bear to say what he thought.

"But we've lost 8 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 9 destroyers!"

"Such a huge number of battle losses is not an ordinary number of casualties! We don't know how to explain it to the Führer yet! ”

Captain Kafir's worried.

"But the number of British and American ships and carrier-based aircraft we have sunk now is twice as much, or even more than twice as many as we have lost!"

"So I very much hope to be able to create more viable forces of the British and American fleets, because to create a ship, especially a large and technologically advanced ship such as a battleship, it is not possible to do it in a short period of time, so if we can take advantage of the strong fighting spirit of our troops now to sink more enemy ships, then we will not have to worry about the strength of the British and American fleets in the Mediterranean and Atlantic in the future!"

"Don't worry that they will block our access to the sea and transportation lines, just like half a year ago and during the First World War, our fleet was defeated by the British and American fleets and blocked the coastline!"

To this, Dönitz responded with a solemn face.

"Then should we report the true battle loss rate to the Führer now and let him make a decision?"

Unfortunately, in response to Dönitz's answer, Captain Kafir still proposed worriedly.

"I will personally send a telegram to the Führer and report it!"

"But now we must go all out to sink more British and American ships; If there is any big loss, I will be responsible for all the consequences! ”

"I will give the Führer and the Imperial Navy a satisfactory explanation!"

After listening, Dönitz replied with a resolute face.

At the same time, he was also determined not to sink some British and American ships, and he would never evacuate.

While he was confusing with Captain Kafir, the first wave of dive bomber attacks organized by the German JG23 Wing, as well as the attack with 8 fighter escorts to assist the attack, had also descended on the Essex-class aircraft carrier, the core of Cunningham's position.

After detecting the sudden attack of the German aircraft group through advanced radar detection technology, the support ships around Cunningham immediately organized into a large V-shaped battle sequence and immediately met the dive attack of the German bomber group and fighter group.

At the same time, several British and American battleships with strong combat effectiveness also traveled at a speed of 30 knots to Cunningham's Essex-class aircraft carriers, respectively on both sides of the bow, with destroyers as the main shield to form a dense combat firepower and a strong outer defense circle, defending against the joining of the German fleet to carry out attacks, as well as the sudden attack of German submarines and carrier-based bomber groups.

Of course, at this moment, the British and American carrier-based groups also rushed over to support with the fastest speed and the most heroic combat performance, and escorted Cunningham and their four core Essex-class aircraft carriers to avoid being destroyed by the integrated attack of the German sea and air.

Moreover, on the Essex-class aircraft carriers of Britain and the United States, there are still many carrier-based aircraft that are rapidly preparing for pre-war take-off and joining in increasingly fierce air and naval battles.

At this moment, whether it was the British and American aircraft carrier fleets, or the naval officers and sailors of the German aircraft carrier fleet, or the members of their respective flight teams, they were all bloody and red-eyed, fighting desperately.

In short, either you die or I live, and the most tragic white-hot battle is being fought.

Around them were the earth-shattering sound of explosions, the sound of machine guns, and the sound of dense anti-aircraft guns......
