Major Thatch's mistake is unforgivable.

If he had continued to climb upward, the two planes would have stalled almost simultaneously, and if he could hold on a little longer, the F190 below might have fallen first.

However, Major Thatch couldn't hold back at first, air battles are measured in seconds, and in this fierce air battle, every second must be kept awake enough, any mistake, can bring disastrous consequences.

Like now.

Major Thatch, who swooped down first, suddenly had a few more holes in the fuselage, and the 20-mm shaft cannon shells tore open the pirate's fuselage at once, and then it burst into flames.

A result!

Alcatel's heart was very excited, but he deliberately kept calm, now the big battle is still going on, and they want to try to prevent the opponent's fighters from crossing the interception line.

Alcatel's gaze looked towards the surrounding airspace, and soon, he found that there were several special targets on the sparkling sea.

Want to slip in? It's not that easy!

Alcatel pushed the lever and the F190 began to dive down sharply.

Getting closer, getting closer, Alcatel could already see clearly, it was several US Navy TBF "Avenger" torpedo attack aircraft.

In this era, the use of torpedoes to attack enemy warships was also a common way, and the characteristics of torpedo machines were also obvious.

It requires a crew compartment for three people.

The throwing of torpedoes is not so simple, it requires a special person to operate, there is a responsible process, so it is necessary to add a bombardier sitting in the middle, the pilot in the front, and the gunner in the back.

Torpedo machines are bulky, and in order to protect themselves, like other bombers, they need a machine gunner in the tail to protect their rear hemisphere.

The current Avenger torpedo machine is the latest model, designed and produced by Grumman, and it has just entered service.

In the chaotic air battle, this team of torpedo planes skillfully dodged the smoke of the battlefield and flew low on the sea level, at this time, it was already able to see the terrible fleet on the sea in the distance.

Everyone was shocked at what the Germans had accomplished in a few years, and after World War I, Germany had lost its navy, and now their navy had expanded to a terrible extent.

"Ready to throw torpedoes, targets, destroyers ahead." said the commander of the torpedo machine.

Although they also wanted to attack the aircraft carrier at the core of the formation, or the battleship in front of the formation, the commander of the torpedo plane knew in his heart that the aircraft flying at an ultra-low altitude like theirs could not fly to the core of the opponent's formation.

If they want to break through the layers of interception of warships on the periphery, they will definitely be shot down in the middle.

Their task is to smash the openings and destroy the escort warships on the periphery, so that their dive bombers can approach the aircraft carriers in the inner layer and blow up the most important warships of the other side.

Although the battleships were also outside, the battleships were protected by thick armor, and the same was underwater, so it was impossible for them to cause damage to the battleships with just a few torpedoes.

Take out the air defense destroyers on their perimeter!

At this moment, suddenly, the machine gunners in the back shouted: "German fighters!" ”

In the sky, an F190 swooped down, the machine gunner's heart was highly tense, his eyes were fixed on the sight, and then he pressed the button, the electric tail turret began to rotate, and then he stepped on the fireller.

"Da-da-da-da." The 12.7mm machine gun roared wildly, raining bullets into the sky, the machine gunner was too nervous to be within range of the machine gun at this time, but it also played a role, and when the tail gun was spotted, the fighters behind flew away.

How could he be driven away so easily?

This squadron of torpedo planes had never participated in combat before, most of the personnel on it were novices, and even the squadron leader had not experienced combat in several years of service.

Now, seeing that the other side flew away, the squadron leader also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward, ready to throw a torpedo!

The bombardier in the middle is preparing quickly, setting the depth and setting the route, and then, God forbid, this torpedo must explode after it touches it, and there can be no duds.

At this moment, it suddenly went dark overhead, and the bombardier in the middle raised his head and instantly shouted in horror: "There are enemy planes overhead!" ”

F190, actually swooped down from the top of their heads at a near-vertical angle, this terrible plane, the angle of attack is too tricky, there is no protection here at all.

"Tom tom!" The shaft cannon roared, and with only three shots, the torpedo machine in the middle exploded in the air.

When Alcatra got up, he saw that the remaining torpedo machines had hastily dropped their torpedoes and began to accelerate and flee backwards.

Throw away the torpedo and it's fine? Wait for yourself to continue to mend the knife!

The attack just now is quite dangerous, and if Alcatel pulls up a second late, it will come into close contact with the target, and at the same time, it is too exciting.

Alcatel was just about to rush forward and kill another one in the same way, when the corner of his eye swept casually towards the sky above him, and he was suddenly startled.

Just when he was chasing these torpedo planes at an ultra-low altitude, in the sky above his head, several seagull-winged planes had already flown over, and they were only a dozen kilometers away from his own fleet!

It's too dangerous!

Relying on the pilot's eyesight, Alcatel could easily see that the planes with the wings of the Seagulls were different from those just now, and under the flat belly, there were two bombs mounted, which were going to dive and bomb!

The torpedo planes were at a low altitude, the dive bombers were at mid-altitude, approaching from different airspace, and although the aircraft carrier group had already released almost all the fighters, it was still impossible to completely parry the US Navy fighters that were surging like a tide, and there would be fish that slipped through the net.

This is all planned, on the periphery of the aircraft carrier formation, there are a large number of air defense warships, those 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, which will make them realize what the barrage protection of the Imperial Navy is.

However, whenever possible, try to eliminate each other on the periphery.

So, Alcatel could only give up the torpedo planes that had escaped, pull the operating stick, and the fighter began to climb upward, and soon, he visually confirmed that it was the same model as the fighter he had just intercepted, a pirate fighter.

Any advanced fighter can be multifunctional, such as the F190, you can hang bombs, heavier than Stuka, and you can also hang torpedoes.

The Corsair fighter is also such an advanced aircraft, it carries two 1000-pound bombs, which is better than many light bombers.

At this time, the two Corsair fighters were struggling towards the German naval fleet, and with the help of their brother forces, they managed to break through the defense, and now it was the final stage.
