Dudley? What Pound did not know was that the German pilots were able to achieve such great results thanks to their hard training, and of course to their exceptional talent, but also to the weapons in their hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These German naval aviation pilots were all selected from among the Luftwaffe ace pilots.

Before coming to the Navy, they were either quasi-ace pilots who soared through the sky and shot down at least 3 enemy planes, or bomber veterans who had flown ground missions and blown up ground targets.

In the month since they came to the Navy, they have undergone countless take-offs, landings, and patrols, and have to fly for more than four hours every day.

After such rigorous training, these elites, who are already experienced and nimble-minded, can naturally quickly master the art of attacking sea targets.

Although their actual combat experience is scarce and they have not carried out many missions at sea, their attack power has been infinitely magnified by virtue of the weapons in their hands.

The performance of carrier-based aircraft of naval aviation of various countries is slightly worse than that of army aircraft. This is related to the performance indicators that aircraft carriers take off and land and pay attention to.

However, the German carrier-based aircraft were modified from army aircraft, and in terms of performance, they had already crushed most of the naval aircraft.

Strictly speaking, neither the FW-190T nor the JU-87C are the best carrier-based aircraft, but they are undoubtedly the most suitable carrier-based aircraft for German pilots.

In terms of performance, including flight altitude and speed, as well as rolling, climbing, diving, and other parameters, the German aircraft far surpassed its opponents, and of course, it was half the effort in battle.

The British Navy, which had only seen its own Swordfish attack aircraft, was of course unable to adapt to the performance pressure brought by the Luftwaffe's high-tech aircraft, so it was naturally easily defeated.

In the sky, above the Swordfish attack aircraft of the British Royal Navy, three pilots were chatting over the intercom.

Because it is an open cockpit, their heads are exposed to the air. The three of them opened their mouths wide in the wind, and the roar of the carefully splitting lungs felt quite good.

I have to say that competition is really a good thing. If there is no competition, human beings will really lose the motivation to develop and transcend!

In the competition-fueled Pacific, Japan developed the excellent Zero fighter, and the United States then began mass production of the more advanced F4 and F6 fighters.

In the entire Pacific theater, the naval and air battles were thrilling, and the competition between the two countries between aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft was also intertwined into the most spectacular naval battle in human history.

In the Atlantic, on the other hand, because the German Navy did not have carrier-based aircraft, it did not have the ability to fight the British Navy on the sea.

Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft of the British have always lagged behind the entire era - the two-winged Swordfish has been used for 42 years in one go, which is really losing the identity of the first hegemon of the navy.

It can only be said that it was the lack of a real opponent that allowed the Royal Navy of the British Empire to slack off. The technical and tactical degeneration of the British Navy's aircraft carriers is partly due to the fact that the German Navy has too few surface ships and too little combat effectiveness.

The Swordfish attack aircraft, in the opinion of 40 years, is actually outdated. That is, in the real history, the anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship Bismarck was really weak, and it was replaced by American or Japanese battleships, maybe a few Swordfish, which was not enough for the ship's anti-aircraft cannons.

The two swordfish flew one after the other in the marshmallow-like clouds, and because there was an extra crew member on board, the plane was more lively.

The pilot sitting at the front turned around, pointed in the direction of the flight in front of him and shouted: "Is the route right?" It's almost there! ”

According to the route and speed of the German fleet provided by the British cruisers Norfolk and the Suffolk, they were almost close to the German fleet.

"The route is right! I don't see a problem on the chart! The navigator and mechanic, who was sitting in the second seat, shouted to the pilot.

They all wore thick fur hats, which was already the highest altitude that a Swordfish attack aircraft could fly to.

Further up, not only will the engine not be able to keep up, but even they will be unable to stand the cold air when they are sitting in the driver's seat.

The pilots were ordered to fly the planes and search for the location of the German fleet. After sending them, the British fleet already knew that there was an aircraft carrier inside the German fleet.

Even so, the naval aviation of the Royal Navy decided to carry out the mission. Because they haven't seen German carrier-based aircraft, they don't know what these German carrier-based aircraft are like.

At an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, the two German FW-190T fighters responsible for the air defense of the fleet had easily discovered the target under their feet at this time.

The FW-190T fighter with a closed cockpit, armed with two 13 mm machine guns and two 20 mm guns, completely outperformed all carrier-based aircraft of the British Navy in terms of firepower.

Although the FW-190T is still comparatively deficient in terms of range, its performance advantages in other aspects are simply crushing any opponent.

Compared with the Zero, the king of Japanese carrier-based aircraft equipped with troops a year later, the FW-190T fighter has an absolute advantage in most of its performance except for range.

Not to mention the year 1940! It's in the Atlantic, it's simply invincible! When it was too late, the two German fighters rushed down to the air after discovering their opponents.

It was as if two eagles were rushing towards their target, and with the whistling sound of their engines, these two German fighters approached the target at a speed of almost 650 kilometers per hour!

The ultimate speed of the Swordfish attack aircraft is only a pitiful more than 200 kilometers, if you exaggerate a little, it can be said that the FW-190 fighter in the dive limit state is three times faster than the Swordfish......

Anyone familiar with air combat knows how big a gap it is when the speed gap has tripled. This is not a modern fighter technology that relies on electronic technology and stealth technology to measure fighter technology, but a World War II that only relies on traditional flight performance such as speed and climb!

The operator of the self-defense machine gun on the Swordfish attack aircraft did not take a second to see the German plane rushing towards it as if it were an arrow from a string.

He had no time to pull down the bolt of his gun and then aimed his machine gun at the German planes in the distance, and the two German planes opened fire.

The crushing fire of two 13 mm machine guns and two 20 mm guns on the front instantly suppressed the slender self-defense machine gun on the Swordfish.

The tracer bullet easily pierced through the skin of the Swordfish's plane, leaving a dense network of bullet holes on it.

The pilot of the Swordfish plane at the front felt that his plane was out of control before he realized what was wrong.

With the deafening roar of the engines, two FW-190T fighters whizzed by, while the two Swordfish attack planes had already shattered into several sections in the sky.

Before they could send back any useful information or make any skydives, the two Swordfish disintegrated in the air.

To tell the truth, the old design of the Swordfish attack aircraft could not compete with the powerful destructive power of the German 20 mm caliber cannon.

Of the six British pilots, all but one who fell into the sea with the wreckage of the plane, the remaining five were killed on the spot.

For German pilots, there was nothing to be proud of, and at their level, they did not have any pleasure of victory at all in fighting World War I planes with World War II planes.

Because of the radar search, the German fleet detected the incoming British plane more than a hundred kilometers away. Because two British planes flew in the wrong direction, Germany took off only two planes to intercept.

Heines was the first generation of carrier-based aircraft commanders of the German Navy trained by the Führer himself, and he was convinced of the Führer's intelligence.

Before leaving, the Führer had told him with certainty that in this era, three or five British Navy carrier-based aircraft were coming, and two FW-190Ts would be enough to deal with it!

At this moment, he was even more convinced of this statement - the radar showed that except for the two returning FW-190Ts, there were no enemy planes alive in the nearby waters.

"General Lütjans...... I think you must have begun to believe in the Führer's prophecies about future naval battles, right? Turning around, Hines smiled and asked Fleet Commander Rutteyans, who had nothing to say.

Now, with his powerlessness outweighed the pressure, Rutteyans was really reluctant to say anything more - how could there be such a thing? How can there be such a war?

As soon as it was dawn today, the carrier-based aircraft on the USS Zeppelin began to get busy, first damaging the cruiser Norfolk, and then directly sinking the cruiser USS Suffolk.

A large naval fleet, with the exception of the Prinz Eugen picking up a cheap one and firing the half-dead Norfolk, simply did not have any chance to fire.

However, now the German Navy has sunk two cruisers and shot down two enemy reconnaissance aircraft!

Not only that, but his fleet was able to escape the enemy's tracking, whether it was to break south from Iceland into the Atlantic, or to continue north to detour through the Danish Channel, the initiative was firmly in his hands.

It seemed that as long as Lütjans was willing, he could directly rush south to the British defense, sink the opponent's fleet to intercept him, and then calmly enter the Atlantic Ocean.

"Keep going! In any case, it is a good thing to avoid British shore-based patrol aircraft. "On the trade-off, Ruetjens was not carried away by the victory. He still chose the safest route steadily.

"The torpedo is being overhauled, and the problem just now is really depressing." Hines followed: "Since there won't be any trouble in the next short time, I'll arrange for the pilots to take turns to rest." ”

"Thank them for me...... If we succeed this time, they will undoubtedly become the pride of the German Navy! Lütjans glanced at Hines who was about to walk out of the bridge, and said in praise.
