Chapter 206: Tempest and Storm (M)

"Your mother's uncle, can't I afford to hide now? Order the formation to starboard five degrees, and at the same time send two destroyers to monitor two American merchant ships......"

Li Mo ordered his aircraft carrier formation to evade, so that not only could he avoid American merchant ships, but he could also keep his aircraft carrier formation 20 kilometers away from the Norwegian coast, and everyone believed that the British planes were coming from the direction of Norway.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the American merchant ship passed twenty kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and an American who had been observing the sea surface with a high-powered telescope, soon discovered Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, and after he carefully observed it for a few seconds, he ordered the personnel behind him:

"The speed report is that the German aircraft carrier is 220 kilometers west of the Norwegian Sea, and its coordinates are 83 degrees 14 seconds east longitude and 122 degrees 18 seconds west longitude."

The Yankees' task was completed, and the superiors ordered them to find the aircraft carrier formation that Germany had returned, and they really lived up to expectations and successfully completed the task of their superiors, and then it was up to the British themselves, now that isolationism is rife in the United States, and there is no intention of entering the war, but it is also necessary to help Britain with appropriate help, and it is best that Britain and Germany fight immediately, and then the last German soldier dies with the last British soldier.

In this way, Britain's position as a global leader was naturally replaced by the United States, and after World War I, Britain's national power declined sharply, and now the United States has surpassed Britain in many aspects, and once war breaks out between Germany and Britain, it is inevitable that Britain will hand over the position of world leader. Is the United States genuinely helping Britain? Of course not, the United States will only do things for its own benefit. The United States helped Britain in order to let Britain start a war as soon as possible, and the United States would benefit from it.

At 12 p.m. on 9/3/39, the patrolling aircraft reported:

"Report to the commander-in-chief, a large number of planes have been found coming out of Norway."

Li Mo was in the operations command room, and hurriedly ordered a nearby patrol plane to go up to check the situation, and soon the patrol plane reported again, saying that there were thousands of planes, half fighters and half horizontal bombers, after Li Mo planned to continue to ask. There was a busy sound on the radio. It seems that this patrol plane is unlucky, and of course there are other planes that continue to report the location of the British fleet.

"Quickly order Schmidt to organize all carrier-based aircraft to take off, sound the air raid siren, and everyone take their positions. The column anti-aircraft formation sailed at full speed against the wind. ”

In an instant, the entire aircraft carrier formation was a terrible air defense siren. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Stephen quickly adjusted the entire formation according to Li Mo's orders. Only an aircraft carrier sailing in the wind can be most conducive to the take-off of carrier-based aircraft.

Schmidt held a wireless intercom in one hand in the aviation command platform, and looked at the busy ground crew and running pilots outside with a serious expression, when the air raid siren sounded. These hurriedly rushed to their own combat posts, for the British air raid retaliation, Schmidt had long been fully prepared, all BF109 were filled with fuel and ammunition, BF109 because there was no bombing mission, so only ammunition and fuel load, in this case BF109 is the most excellent.

JU87 because it wants to be anti-submarine, so it is still mounted with a deep-water magnetic bomb, this deep-water magnetism we are a depth bomb There are two ways to detonate, the first is to detonate at a fixed depth, and the other is to meet an iron item, it will also detonate. This magnetic depth charge is a very good anti-submarine bomb, and its shape is similar to that of a torpedo, it is streamlined, and the German military industry is really good.

"Report to the commander of the carrier-based aircraft, the carrier-based aircraft Zeppelin is ready, and it is requested to take off."

"Agree to take off, good luck to you."

"The Z2 aircraft carrier is equipped and requests to take off."

More than 450 BF109s quickly formed in the sky above the fleet, and attacked the patrol planes in the direction given by them, and at a distance of 200 kilometers, the planes of both sides were moving opposite each other, so the time for the two sides to meet was extremely fast.

Witt led the first group of more than 250 planes at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and Orr led the second group of 200 planes at an altitude of 8,000 meters to wait for the opportunity to attack the British bombers.

Seven minutes later, Witt spotted a huge fleet of planes at visual distance, and rushed over in the dark, this group was too large. Because the British horizontal bombers are all loaded with bombs, their bomber formations fly at an altitude of about four thousand meters, and the British bombers do not fly high, and their combat escort planes certainly do not fly too high.

"Dive attack, disrupt enemy aircraft formations."

Britain has more than 600 fighters and more than 600 bombers, which is almost all of Britain's elite air force, and Witt has more than 250 fighters. At this time, Witt could not hesitate or retreat in the slightest, and behind him was the huge German aircraft carrier group. With so many British bombers, even if the German aircraft carrier group had a large number of anti-aircraft guns, the result would be total annihilation.

Witt led more than 250 planes to suddenly increase the throttle and swoop down, while the British combat escort planes were not vegetarians, and after abandoning the auxiliary fuel tanks, they hurriedly divided into two regiment-level flight formations, and about 300 fighters came up to intercept them, while the main group immediately adjusted its course to bypass Witt's attack aircraft group.

Will Witt be able to attack the British flying formations that are preparing to make a detour without hesitation? Of course not, it was purely an act of seeking death, and those British planes that had separated would bite their tails and attack them. The two British aeronautical divisions are not bad, the fighters are the Hurricane and the Spitfire, the number of Hurricanes accounts for two-thirds of the fighters, and the Spitfire occupation is one-third, the Hurricane is worse than the performance of the BF109, and the Spitfire and the BF109 have their own characteristics, and even in terms of comprehensive capabilities, the performance of the Spitfire is a little better than the performance of the BF109.

In an instant, the two sides entered the firing range, and the dive planes certainly had to occupy a little speed advantage, and at that time both sides were shooting head-on, and this speed advantage was not very useful.

"Dada...... Da Da ...... Woowoo woo ......"

Countless bullets and shells shuttled through the air, and in just a few seconds, this kind of face-to-face shooting, Witt lost more than 30 planes, while Britain lost more than 50 planes, some of these planes exploded in the air, some fell in the smoke and screamed, and some were beaten into fireballs.

In the blink of an eye, both sides rushed into each other's fleet, and the two sides strangled together, and the speed advantage brought by Witt's dive attack was manifested, and after they rushed into the British group, they all jerked the joysticks. The BF109 is like a roller coaster that swoops down from a great height, and then quickly uses inertia to rush to the next commanding height. Wittur took advantage of this inertia and climbed at a large angle with his own group to prepare for a second attack.
