"Three enemy planes, besieging us." The wingman continued to shout.

At this time, the Americans had already reacted, and they thought that it was a large German aircraft group that had killed them, but who could have known, there were only two planes in total, so they made a mess of their own side and had already lost three fighters, which was simply a disgrace to the US Navy!

As a result, three fighters in the vicinity immediately pounced fiercely and wanted to come and strangle Lieutenant Colonel Lange.

"Follow me up, full speed." Lieutenant Colonel Lange shouted over the radio as he pushed the throttle all the way down while his fingers flicked the switch.

As he flicked the switch, nitrous oxide gas in a cryogenic cylinder in his back quickly vaporized and sprayed into the engine cylinder in front of him along the pipeline.

This is another common way for German fighters, nitrogen acceleration! (Actually, nitrous oxide, but as the saying goes, nitrogen accelerates.) ）

Just like the MiG-25 sprays water in the air intake tract to stimulate the engine and increase power, this method of nitrogen acceleration is more violent and direct. The thirst for power is always endless, and although the engine of the F190 is already quite strong, it still needs to be stimulated for a short time by this means.

As he started nitrous oxide acceleration, the nozzle of the engine directly sprayed flames, and the whole engine roared hard, and the power exceeded 2500 horsepower in an instant.

Under the strong power, the whole plane quickly jumped upwards and climbed rapidly.

As a result, the three pilots of the American fighter could only look up at the fighter plane, which was originally surrounded by them, with a look of admiration.

Stimulated by nitrogen acceleration, the F190 climbed upwards at a terrible rate of climb, and even the nearest American fighter did not have a chance to aim and shoot, they could only raise their heads and watch each other disappear into their field of vision.

The two F190s climbed and soon disappeared from the sky, but, a minute later, the terrible roar came from the sky again.

The most common German tactic, relying on the terrible ability to climb, dives down from the air to attack, and then pulls up, the opponent can only be beaten, not retaliated, this kind of scene is the most pleasing to the eye.

Now, Lieutenant Colonel Lange, who had swooped down, took aim at one enemy again, and with the roar of the nose shaft gun, the fourth fighter plane was shot down again.

Then, the fifth, the sixth, and when the sixth was hit, Lieutenant Colonel Lange climbed up again, causing the nearby American fighter pilots to curse.

There's a kind of you coming down! What is it to hit and run!

The Americans were enraged, and in the process they also kept climbing, climbing, in a vain attempt to find traces of the German fighters.

Before I knew it, the altitude had exceeded 5,000 meters.

The 1,200-horsepower engine roared, and although the Buffalo fighter had an altitude limit of more than 10,000 meters, its performance was even worse above five thousand meters.

The biggest disadvantage of this fighter is that it is overweight, because of the overweight, the aircraft is extremely bulky, and it has always been beaten on the battlefield.

If we talk about advantages, the long range should be counted as one, and its maximum range reached 2,700 kilometers.

At an altitude of five thousand meters, the fighter pilots of the US Navy were engrossed in searching for the two missing targets, their heads constantly looking at the sky, and the Germans always liked to dive down from high altitudes.

At the same time, they are constantly changing direction, and in battle, it is an absolute truth that maintaining a straight flight for thirty seconds means death.

"Tom, tom!" When the cannon sounded again, the pilots who were hit were immediately shocked, the cannon sound came from below, when did the Germans fly to their own side?

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer his question anymore, and with the sound of cannons, his plane was broken in two from the air, tumbling and falling downward.

The seventh!

The naval battle over the Atlantic, under the attack of Lieutenant Colonel Lange and his wingman, officially began, and a tragic naval and air battle was being staged, and at this time, in the White House, a debate also entered a white-hot stage.

"Didn't we already have a plan in place to put our main forces after the Germans landed?" Arnold looked at the high-ranking officials present, very disappointed and angry: "What now? How did it become the main force of naval aviation, all sorted? ”

In the past, after Arnold's strong persuasion, even President Roosevelt finally agreed, abandoning Greenland, which could not be defended, and then attacking the other side when they returned, in an effort to defeat the German aircraft carrier group.

If you want to inflict heavy damage on the German Navy, you must have a large fleet of aircraft.

In Arnold's plan, it was not enough to have the bombers of the Army Air Corps, and the P-51s of the Army were not enough, and the Navy had to be added.

Although the Navy's aircraft carriers have not yet been seen, the Navy has already trained a large number of naval aviation units, and there are also a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots, just waiting for the aircraft carriers.

Who would have thought that now, the Navy would take it upon itself to take off almost all of its fleet and run over to intercept it when the German fleet was still three hundred nautical miles away from Greenland.

This couldn't help but make Arnold very angry.

At the beginning, his proposal was a refutation of Nimitz's suggestion, and Nimitz could have an opinion, but now, the battle has begun, and Arnold is absolutely unacceptable to come and make such a play.

This is no longer a contradiction between the branches of the army and the navy, it is simply a terrible act of treason!

"Arnold, please don't be angry." Admiral Ernest Joseph King said:

When it comes to the U.S. Navy, the most interesting thing is Nimitz, in fact, at Nimitz's head, there is also Admiral Kim, such as a fake five-star admiral.

Admiral King served as Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, Chief of Naval Operations, member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and member of the Anglo-American Joint Command. (At this time, of course, the United States continued to recognize the British government-in-exile.) ）

Due to the complexity of the military establishment during the war, the US Navy nominally merged the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to form the "American Fleet" during World War II, and Admiral Kim was the commander-in-chief of the "American Fleet" in this name, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Navy. During the war, he participated in the formulation of the U.S. Navy's battle plan, and mainly coordinated and commanded the U.S. military operations in the Pacific War. Moreover, he personally served as the commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, responsible for Atlantic operations.

Compared to Nimitz, who commanded the Pacific theater, Admiral King was the actual person in charge of the naval side of the operation.
