Lütjans shook his head and reported to Marshal Raeder with some regret: "Unfortunately, we can't confirm that the Americans dispatched a few aircraft carriers, but what we can confirm is that the British Ark Royal is in the other side's fleet!"

Raeder looked at his pocket watch, then raised his gaze, nodded and said, "Everything is deployed according to the original plan, let's take off the second attack aircraft group on time!"

"Obey!" After Lu Teyans nodded slightly, a new round of combat deployment began, his reconnaissance plane had confirmed the position of the opposing fleet, this time was calm, and the fleet was also in a favorable position against the wind, and there was no reason to let go of the Allied fleet in front of him, so at the same time that the Allied forces took off the fighter force, Lu Teyans was also giving an order to take off the fighter force to provide air defense cover for the entire fleet.

The two Soviet battleships were in fact very mediocre in their combat capabilities, and although they used the latest 406 mm guns, which looked quite intimidating, the German Navy decided to place these two battleships next to the aircraft carriers and use them as large air defense cruisers. After all, his own family knew about his own affairs, and he originally planned to make a small pit of the Soviet Union's battleship plan, but he ended up pheating himself -- this is really a real trick to make people.

German Navy fighter ace pilot Günter Lal flew in the sky with his FW-190D fighter jet, he was responsible for covering 20 combat aircraft of various types, the first to attack the Allied sea targets, and both sides already knew that the other was approaching, after all, even the most backward radar had already detected the approaching aircraft group.

At the height of the clouds, the two sides quickly saw each other's appearance, the first batch of 24 P-40 fighters were waiting for the German fighters to come to the door, and the 10 German escort FW-190D fighters were not polite, and directly accelerated towards these dangerous targets. There was chaos in the sky, and the fighters of both sides began to entangle with each other, and the roar of the engines could be heard clearly even on the deck of the ship on the surface of the sea.

Most of the German Navy's carrier-based pilots were carefully selected from the Air Force, and many fighter pilots had achieved good results in land-based air combat. Although they do not have as much experience in naval warfare as the American and Japanese naval aviation units in the Pacific, they are still very confident in the use of fighter jets in air combat.

These pilots flew fighter jets in the sky and began a thrilling dogfight with the American pilots, and as soon as the two sides fought, they were taken aback by the strength of the other side. Gunter Lal maneuvered his fighter and quickly bit the tail of one of the opponent's P-40 fighters, but the opponent obviously had a lot of combat experience in this area, and he just didn't give him a chance to fire.

As a result, one of the shortcomings of the German fighter immediately became apparent - the lack of a large bomb load caused the German pilots to cherish their ammunition very much, and when there was no particularly good opportunity to fire, the German pilots would basically endure and wait for the next round of fire. Earlier, the defect of the small bomb load of the German aircraft was covered up by the powerful performance of the fighter, and now there is not such a huge gap between the fighters of the two sides, so some inconspicuous defects have begun to come to the fore.

Gunter Ral heard his wingman in his headset start to alert him that another American plane was about to cut into his tail to attack, so he had to abandon the target and turn the nose of the plane to fly in the other direction. The American pilot behind him obviously did not expect the plane in front of him to give up the fat in his mouth so decisively, so he had to fly his own plane to also break away from this local battle.

"Hell! These American pilots are veterans! Watch out for their wingmen! Be careful! Keep flying altitude! Don't be lured into the combat airspace below 8,000 meters, their planes are doing well! Heydrich! Get out of the way! Hans! Climb high!" Gunter Lal was worthy of being the first ace pilot in the navy, and after a short period of contact, he immediately judged that the strength of the opponent's naval aviation had improved markedly.

So without the slightest hesitation, he immediately called out to his aircraft carrier fleet: "Dragon's Lair! Dragon's Lair! I'm Baby Dragon No. 1! Please answer when you hear it! The enemy pilots are very powerful! Please increase the number of escort fighters! Hell! Wingman! I'm being targeted! I'm going to get rid of it to the right, you follow me!"

After the report was finished and he wanted to warn the friendly forces, Gunter Lal pulled his control stick to the right, so that the plane could quickly get out of the range of the American fighters. The American fighters equipped with 12.7 mm machine guns had plenty of ammunition and a high density of firepower, and compared to the German planes, they could fire with impunity, and whenever they had the chance, they would always pull the trigger and try their luck.

A roll adjusted his position, and then Gunter Ral showed the qualities of an old pilot, he quickly bit an American fighter plane, and then opened fire with a fierce fire, which in one fell swoop of fire. Although ammunition is limited, the German 30mm cannon is no joke, it can easily tear open any structure of a fighter and shatter anything inside!

Most of the American fighter pilots who took off to intercept German planes were drawn from the Pacific theater, and although the United States did not mind whether the battle was won or lost, in the eyes of the military, it was also very necessary to inflict heavy damage on the German fleet. So they have as many pilots as possible for their fleet, and these pilots have all experienced the struggle with the Japanese Zero.

However, even the more elite American flying units in the planes immediately felt the pressure of the numerically inferior German fighters - the German enemies were more direct and violent, unlike the nimble Japanese Zeros.

The famous FW-190 fighter is heavier than the Zero, is also stronger and has partial protective armor, and the fuel tanks also have a self-sealing structure...... These factors determined that the outcome of several bullets on a German plane was completely different from that of a Japanese Zero. The Zero may have caught fire and burned, but the Germans were able to continue fighting and perform dangerous technical maneuvers.

What made these American pilots even more entangled was the pilots of these German planes, whose technology and coordination could be said to be seamless, and there was no sign of confusion in the face of American fighters. They soared like eagles in the sky, swooping headlong at the American planes when they looked for an opportunity, raining down on the deadly ammunition on the American planes.

"Peter was hit! Oh my God! Did they use artillery shells? Peter's plane exploded! It exploded in the sky!" An American fighter pilot saw his comrade's plane disintegrating into parts in the sky, and quickly shouted loudly: "Be careful to dodge! These German planes are really amazing!"

"You don't need to say it, we'll be careful, too! They're coming! We don't have an advantage in speed! Watch out for their rolls and dives! Are these damn Germans crazy? Biting so close?" complained the American pilot of another plane, who had shot down two Japanese fighters in the Pacific theater. He piloted the plane to lock on to the opponent's plane several times, but was dodged by the Germans' exquisite skills.

It's like two gamers who don't know each other, and they enter the game with a novice mentality, but when the two of them meet, they suddenly find that the other party's strength is on par with their own - this feeling is very bad, because it is not easy to show a serious attitude all at once.

In the blink of an eye, a slow, defenseless Stuka bomber was shot down by an American fighter jet, and the German plane dragged a long trail of black smoke and seemingly reluctantly crashed to the surface. This was the first German naval attack plane shot down by the Americans, so it immediately inspired the American allies who were fighting hard against German fighters in the sky.

Unfortunately, this encouragement lasted only 5 seconds before it was broken. The German fighters seized the opportunity of the slower climb of the American planes at once, and shot down three American fighters in succession. For a moment, the sky immediately became lively, and the sound of explosions came and went, and the American pilot, without even having a chance to parachute, exploded over the sea with the wreckage of his plane.

"I see the Allied aircraft carrier fleet! My God! Their ships have no end in sight! Prepare to attack! Prepare to attack! Lock onto the opponent's aircraft carriers and battleships, and drop bombs as accurately as possible!" In the attack aircraft group, a German commander looked at the Allied warships under his feet, one after another, and reported to his fleet on the throat intercom: "An American aircraft carrier that I have never seen before, followed by the Ark Royal! There seems to be another ...... behind it."

"Boom!" "Boom!" Before he could finish his report, the anti-aircraft weapons pointing at the sky on the American and British warships on the sea let out a dense roar. Each anti-aircraft gun was aimed at the angle it was supposed to block, and fired wildly at the German planes that were hovering in the sky.

Dense shells grazed the wings of German planes and flew into the sky, and with the roar of their engines, these fearless sea fighters piloted their planes and dived at high speed towards targets on the surface of the sea...... The decisive battle of the Atlantic suddenly ushered in a climax.
