One German Navy is now a carrier-based aircraft, albeit still a biplane. However, because of the improvement of engine technology, the bomb load and speed of carrier-based aircraft have been greatly improved. It can be said that both fighters and bombers are already far ahead of their German opponents. Germany's next-generation fighter is an all-metal monoplane, which is more powerful than these metal skeletons with a layer of skin on the outside. It's just that if the next generation of fighters wants to enter service, I'm afraid it will take a while.

In the sky, carrier-based aircraft taking off from the aircraft carriers of the German Navy, flying in a neat formation to the south. Through the Atlantic Fleet, they can accurately know the position of the American fleet, thus saving the process of searching for the enemy.

Even if there were no enemy planes in this area, the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft units flew in strict accordance with the tactical formation. Bombers and torpedo planes were below the group, and fighters were above the group, so that if an enemy plane was spotted, the fighters could immediately pounce from a high altitude and attack the enemy.

More than a hundred carrier-based aircraft flew to the battlefield from a high altitude. Like a dark cloud moving in the sky, it left a large shadow on the surface of the sea, as if the sun had been obscured.

In the waters near São Miguel Island, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet was retreating northward, but under their deliberate control, the speed of retreat was not fast, and the distance between it and the American fleet was constantly narrowing. However, because the two sides were separated by more than 20 kilometers before, it would take several hours for the American fleet to catch up. This time was already enough to hold out until the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier fleet of the German Navy arrived on the battlefield.

"Commander, the carrier-based aircraft has already departed, and it is expected to be ready to arrive at the battlefield in forty minutes." Vice Admiral Schmidt, Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet, smiled.

"Then wait for the Americans to continue to show off their might for another forty minutes! Soon, they will suffer heavy losses under the strikes of carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. When the time comes, we'll send them all to the bottom of the sea! Lieutenant General Berdick said with a smile.

With the strength of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, even if it could not sink all the capital ships of the American fleet, it would be enough to inflict heavy damage on them. When the time comes, the Atlantic Fleet will naturally be able to easily dispose of the remnants of the American fleet.

Although the American fleet was moving at full speed, the distance between it and the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet was constantly narrowing, and it was even within the maximum range of the main guns. However, firing at this distance will deviate from the impact point by thousands of kilometers. In such a situation, firing is nothing more than a waste of shells.

At the same time, the commander of the American fleet, Henry? Admiral Mayo also felt more and more uneasy, as if there was some danger waiting for them ahead.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? Could all this really be a trap for the Germans? Otherwise, why do I feel like my heart is pounding? "Henry? Admiral Mayo wondered to himself.

"How long will it be before we catch up with the Germans?" Henry? Admiral Mayo asked.

"General, it will take us almost four hours before we can catch up with the Germans. After two hours, though, our main guns were ready to fire. By that time, the distance had been reduced to our effective range. "Chief of Staff Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson said.

"Two hours? Make sure again, there is no German fleet nearby! "Henry? Admiral Mayo is still effective, not very reassured.

"Okay, General." Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson nodded.

Soon they were informed that there was no German fleet around except for the German Atlantic Fleet.

Henry? Admiral Mayo's brows furrowed tightly, he always felt that something was wrong. However, I can't say what is wrong.

Soon, Henry? Admiral Mayo knew what the problem was.

Half an hour later, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the German Navy had already flown over the battlefield. When the overwhelming group of planes appeared in the sky above the fleet, the officers and men of the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy cheered one after another.

And the officers and men of the American fleet also saw this scene. However, unlike the jubilation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, they were silent, and some people were already shivering.

"Oh God! Was that the plane of the Germans? How can there be so many planes? ”

"Damn, there are German aircraft carriers around here! Bastard, we actually forgot about this. "Henry? Admiral Mayo's face turned pale. He finally knew where the wrong thing in his heart came from, it turned out that it was the aircraft carrier of the German Navy that had been missed.

"But General, we have searched a hundred kilometers of the sea nearby, and we have not found any German aircraft carriers!" Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson was incredulous.

"Quite simply, the aircraft carriers of the Germans are definitely a hundred kilometers away! In terms of the speed and range of the aircraft, a distance of more than a hundred kilometers is nothing at all! ”

Henry? Lieutenant General Wilson's face suddenly turned pale.

"Order the fleet, switch to the anti-aircraft formation! May God bless us and hopefully we will get through it! "Henry? Admiral Mayo said.

Indeed, now they can only pin their hopes on God's blessing. This undoubtedly means that Henry? Admiral Mayo was not sure to survive the attack of the carrier-based aircraft forces of the German Navy.

The U.S. fleet, which was originally lined up in a decisive formation, immediately dispersed. Cruisers and destroyers, even more protected the battleships in the middle. One anti-aircraft gun after another, pointing in the direction of the German carrier-based aircraft.

Although the United States has no experience in fighting with the enemy's aircraft carriers, the British Navy does! They shared the tactics they summed up with the U.S. Navy. This allowed the U.S. fleet to react correctly when it encountered German carrier-based aircraft.

"Discover the American fleet, fighters suppress enemy anti-aircraft fire, bombers and torpedo planes, wait for the opportunity to attack, and kill them all!" The commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the German Navy gave the order to attack.

One fighter after another immediately accelerated toward the US fleet, preparing to use aviation machine guns to strafe the anti-aircraft gun positions on the US warships, clearing the way for the subsequent bomber and torpedo attacks.

And bombers and torpedo planes, followed. The aviation armor-piercing shells and torpedoes they carry will pose a lethal threat to the huge battleships of the American fleet.
