As the final assault unfolded, the huge fleet was stretched out by the difference in speed. But at this time, the Germans obviously didn't care about this, all the fighters began to rush forward to try to disperse the opponent's interceptor planes, the huge fleet of more than 800 planes is really difficult to control, especially when everyone is swarming of outlaw pigs, it is not bad, the wing commander can contact the following captains, the fighter unit will go with them, the attack aircraft unit will try to maintain the formation, don't think about the formation at the brigade level, each squadron can fight for itself after breaking through the defensive line, Anyway, remember to aim at the opponent's heavy aircraft carrier first! At this point, the various plans previously made by the Germans simply could not catch up with the change in form, they could only do their best, everything depended on the capabilities of the middle and low-level commanders!

In this case, the British did not fare much better. Thanks to the advanced radar, the British finally burned through the German interference at a distance of 120 kilometers, and the dense light spots reappeared on the radar screen, and the constantly flashing warning lights indicated the approaching danger, and everyone felt a kind of fear from the heart when they saw these dense light points, not just because someone suffered from dense phobia, but because each light point represented one or several attack aircraft, and the number of the other party was too many, and some planes flying closer had only one reflection point on the radar!

"Intercept with all your might!" When the two sides finally meet, it can definitely be described as Mars hitting the earth, and the scene of more than 900 German planes (including FW190 fighters coming first) and more than 700 Spitfire fighters colliding together is absolutely terrifying! Aircraft in brigades are thrown into the battlefield as if they don't need money. With a large number of fighters concentrated in a split second in a small airspace, what you have learned in aviation school and in actual combat will not work here at all, the pilots are chasing their targets with all their might, countless planes are slashing in front of you, and you have to spot your opponent in just a few seconds and then take it out!

The Germans were bent on breaking through. And the Entente wants to desperately block the opponent, both sides have no room to retreat, in this situation where there is not enough space to play, the Spitfire with better hovering performance has a certain advantage, and in the roar of the Morin engine, the speed of the Spitfire 9 fighter has also increased to about 550 kilometers! They whistled and flew towards their target. Don't even care that you still have FW190 fighters above your head ready to dive and attack yourself! Just like the ancient cavalry hedge, the fighter unit in front of the attack aircraft unit also formed a spearhead, and the first round of hedging between the two sides was bloody!

The huge group of aircraft finally collided together, and in just a dozen seconds, the sound of explosions came from the huge formation, and the roar of the 20MM machine guns and the dense shells tore everything in front of them! Some pilots had just entered the battlefield less than a minute before they were smashed to pieces by shells flying from nowhere. The air is like a huge meat grinder, constantly draining the combat power of both sides, and the FW190A fighter and the Spitfire 9 fighter, the two historical rivals, finally meet. The two sides exchanged almost one-on-one in the beginning of the battle, and the BMW 801 engine gave the FW190 better damage resistance. The firepower of 4 guns and 2 guns is a one-hit kill, and the Spitfire's good horizontal maneuverability and good vision make up for the lack of defense and firepower.

The fighters of the Germans paved the way for the attack aircraft to move forward with their own lives. Faced with a pot of porridge outside, the German attack aircraft formations turned a deaf ear, they just tried to find a gap in the gap from the defender and rushed out! However, in the face of the British impregnable defense, it was very difficult for the Germans to find a loophole! THE RED-EYED BRITISH ALMOST DID NOT LOSE ENOUGH TO MOVE UP TO THE ATTACK AIRCRAFT FORMATION, EVEN IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHANCE TO ATTACK, THE SPITFIRE 9 FIGHTER'S 2 20MM CANNONS AND 2 50 MACHINE GUNS COULD INFLICT HEAVY DAMAGE ON THE OPPONENT, AND THE 20MM * 110MM EXTRA-LARGE THIN-SHELL BULLET WAS AMAZINGLY POWERFUL! It's almost a one-hit kill! Murderous firepower coupled with more murderous pilots. The Germans' attack aircraft formations went the same way with flesh and blood!

A Spitfire 9 fighter jet swerved through a dense network of fire, and when he finally locked a JU90 in the middle of the cannon's scope. He was the only one left in his four-plane formation, and after smashing the target into a fireball with a clean, short-point shot, the plane with bullet holes in the fuselage finally couldn't hold up and began to lose speed and altitude, but before it could crash, it crashed into another JU90 torpedo fuselage. The violent explosion threw a large amount of debris hundreds of meters away, and also caused some damage to other German planes next to it!

This was not the only case in the First Battle of the Atlantic, where both sides did everything they could to destroy their opponents, and there were even a large number of Spitfires that rushed headlong into the fleet's air defense network in order to chase their opponents or force them to drop their bombs! The anti-aircraft guns of the Entente fleet simply did not have time to identify the attributes of these targets one by one, they could only analyze them in general. Then a dense rain of bullets was poured on all the targets that were approaching the fleet. There were many targets that were knocked down by their own anti-aircraft guns, but the desperate resistance of the British still caused heavy damage to the German aircraft group, especially the unlucky torpedo planes, which were almost the best targets at low altitude and low speed when entering the terminal attack!

After losing the performance advantage, the breakthrough of the main German fleet was not very successful, and the total number of fighters responsible for cover was only 400, while they had to face up to 700 Spitfires and constantly ejecting F6F fighters. In the case of a numerical disadvantage, many FW190F attack aircraft responsible for ship attacks were forced to drop bombs to participate in air combat, but over time, the Allied aircraft group that occupied the number and home field advantage still began to slowly control the situation, which was still achieved in the case of the Germans harassing troops and electronic suppression, Halsey's calculation was still relatively accurate, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups released the Spitfire 9 fighter jets with all their might can indeed effectively contain the opponent.

However, although the Allies regained the advantage of the battlefield, they were not without cost, when a large number of Spitfire fighters gradually suppressed the German FW190, there were still a large number of attack aircraft relying on high speed and fighter cover to break through the Allied defense system, in the second wave of the main group, at least 150 attack aircraft of various kinds passed through the Spitfire Wall. They began to attack the nearest target!

"Damn, I knew it was going to be us!" Canning looked at the large number of German attack aircraft that appeared in the telescope and cursed in a low voice! The British fleet is located in the middle of the defensive fleet, at the apex of the triangle, who will you fight if you don't hit at this time? At least 100 bombers of various types chose the British fleet for the first time, and a fleet of half a dozen battleships and a dozen cruisers formed the inner ring of the aircraft carrier formation, and more than 30 destroyers of various types formed the outer ring! When the Germans approached. At the same time, the anti-aircraft guns at the front door sprayed a scorching rain of bullets, and a light curtain composed of flames and shells engulfed the aircraft carrier at the core. A few bombers located in front had just broken through and not long after they were beaten into a sieve by dense anti-aircraft fire! However, the other German planes did not give up, and the dive bombers adjusted their altitude slightly, and they passed from an area above 3,000 meters, avoiding the densest and most lethal small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and then broke through from the weak point of fire above the aircraft carrier's head at an angle close to 70 degrees!

At least one squadron of Spitfires followed behind, chasing attack aircraft carrying lethal ammunition through a barrage of bombs, and from time to time planes were smashed to pieces by the oncoming Spitfires or turned into a flaming fireball by anti-aircraft guns. But in the end, there were planes that succeeded in breaking through, and the USS Fury and the Glory next to it became the first targets!

The first group of dive bombers roared down, at an altitude of 800 meters, 5 500KG armor-piercing shells almost simultaneously broke away from the pylons and smashed into the sea with a piercing scream, even under the dense anti-aircraft fire, the German air attack accuracy was still very high, 5 bombs hit 3 rounds, one of which smashed into the middle of the deck of the Fury. The heavy armored deck blocked the blow, and the bomb was bounced off and smashed into a nearby Spitfire. The explosion of the bomb and the detonation of fuel caused a fire on the deck. THE OTHER TWO BOMBS HIT THE GLORIOUS, WHICH CAN BE SEEN AS A SHRUNKEN VERSION OF THE RAGE-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER, ONE BOMB SMASHED ON THE 114MM GAOPING DUAL-PURPOSE GUN ON THE SURVEY LINE, AND THE VIOLENT EXPLOSION BLEW THE TWO CONNECTED TURRETS TO PIECES, WHILE THE OTHER BOMB LANDED ON THE REAR ELEVATOR, NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE HUNDRED-TON BIG GUY. The fire caused is still spreading to the hangar!

All this is just the beginning, more and more planes broke through the air defense network and dropped bombs one after another, huge aircraft carriers maneuvered at high speed on the sea, the hull made a curved track, but there were too many attacking planes. They attacked from all directions, and wherever the aircraft carrier hid, it would be fatally attacked, "I dodged another bomb!" God bless the Royal Navy! After another violent turn, two bombs fell into the sea against the side of the Fury, and then two huge columns of water rose from the side of the ship, and when the cheers of the helmsman had not yet fallen, the sudden explosion from the northeast made the hearts of all the British sink!

A huge fireball rose into the air, and under the action of the huge explosion, countless wrecks and thick smoke formed a column of smoke that soared into the sky, and under the cover of the smoke column, the hull of the ship that had been broken in two could be seen below, the bow of the ship was raised high, and the position of the ship was sinking. From the time the Germans dropped the first bomb, it was only ten minutes since the British fleet left the first drop of blood!

"It's the Poseidon's Son, he's been destroyed!" Canning quickly discerned the identity of the fallen in battle. This light aircraft carrier was not the target of the Germans' main attack, but its defense was too poor, and its luck was also a little bad, two 500KG armor-piercing shells hit a very small area almost at the same time, one bomb exploded in the upper part of the oil reservoir after penetrating the weak horizontal armor thick, causing a small amount of oil and gas leakage, while the other bomb ignited these diffuse gasoline vapors, accompanied by a series of chain reactions, the warehouse containing hundreds of tons of aviation gasoline was detonated, Then it spread to the nearby ammunition depot, and in less than two minutes, the light aircraft carrier sank into the sea with thousands of crew members and more than 20 planes that did not have time to be dispatched. The tragic explosion was chilling.

However, at this time, Cunningham did not have time to grieve, the German attack on the Fury and the Glory was close to the peak, dense bombs fell from the sky, and there were traces of torpedo planes on both sides, a team of FW190 fighters who threw bombs used 4 20MM guns to suppress the dense melee fire of the battleship, clearing the way for the torpedo planes behind, and from time to time there were planes destroyed in the frantic fire, and there was a river of blood in the opposite anti-aircraft artillery position, Battered twisted steel plates and destroyed anti-aircraft guns, as well as a mass of flesh and blood, lined the entire anti-aircraft gun deck. The road paved by the Germans with blood finally temporarily suppressed the self-defense firepower of the aircraft carriers, and the final decisive battle was about to begin, with dozens of aircraft concentrated on the two aircraft carriers and launched an attack!

In less than a minute, 3 waves of bombers dropped as many as 20 bombs, half of which hit! The thick-skinned Fury took on five bombs on its own, three of which were blocked by heavy armor plates, another hit the elevator at the front of the hull, and another destroyed half of the chimney. None of this is a big deal for the Fury. The sturdy armor and massive hull give him unrivaled resistance to strikes. The Glory next to it was quite unbearable, two armor-piercing shells dropped from a high altitude pierced through the armor deck of the Glory and the horizontal armor located at the waterline, and fell directly into the power compartment, a bomb destroyed a running engine, and the collision of the high-speed rotating gears and the bomb turned both sides into countless fragments, and carried out a wave of indiscriminate sweeps of the entire sub-warehouse! Some of the large pieces of debris even pierced the next door, destroying the wiring and equipment in the adjacent compartment. Another bomb blew up two boilers, and high-temperature and high-pressure steam with a temperature of up to several hundred degrees gushed out of the breach, killing all the operators next to it in a very short time. Just two bombs left the aircraft carrier almost paralyzed on the water!

In addition to the unfortunate Fury and Glory, there was also a group of German planes secretly attacked another aircraft carrier not far away, known as the British version of the Essex aircraft carrier Brilliant with the help of the frigate extremely sloppy dodged almost all the bombs, but before the captain could breathe a sigh of relief, a torpedo dragged the wake and crashed into the middle and rear of the aircraft carrier, but fortunately, in addition to entering thousands of tons of water, the problem was not big, the tilt was quickly corrected, and the speed could reach more than 25 knots.
