On October 18th, the sun just rose, and the sun shone on the sea. The entire fleet was bathed in the sun, looking very majestic. In particular, the huge aircraft carriers and battleships showed their powerful force to the fullest.
"General, this is a telegram forwarded from Bermuda last night." Lieutenant General George Friedberg handed the telegram to Admiral Rolf Karls.
Admiral Rolf Karls nodded after reading the telegram: "It seems that the local fleet is going to give it a go this ti. However, with their strength and the strength of the diterranean Fleet, if they join hands, it is possible to kill the US and British fleets." The **** is still very big. If it is possible, we may also have the opportunity to join in and get a piece of it."
"General, is the ho fleet's chance of success this ti?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg asked.
"Although there are certain risks. However, the possibility of success is still very high. Once successful, we will be able to truly take the initiative in the Atlantic Ocean. This will be very beneficial to the next operations." Luo Lieutenant General Roff Karls said.
"But if the diterranean Fleet leaves, what about our air defense operations here?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg was a little worried.
"Even if the diterranean Fleet leaves, it won't have a big impact on us. We can fully sustain it." Lieutenant General Rolf Karls was extrely confident.
"General, the Aricans lost so many planes yesterday, will they co again today?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg smiled. In yesterday's air battle, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and diterranean Fleet lost nearly 80 carrier-based fighters. However, such a small loss is insignificant compared to the results they achieved.
The U.S. Army Air Force lost more than two hundred B-17 heavy bombers in yesterday's air battle. The number of P-51 fighters lost is more than 350. Losing so many fighter planes in one day, no matter how rich and powerful the U.S. Army Air Corps is, it can't sustain it!
"It should continue! Although there were a lot of planes lost yesterday, the fighter planes equipped by the U.S. Army Air Forces are not unstoppable. No matter how bad it is, it will continue for two or three days. Wait until the losses increase further. , will give up." General Rolf Karls said.
Indeed, as Admiral Rolf Karls thought. Although the U.S. Army Air Force suffered a lot of losses, they were still gnashing their teeth in order to be able to hold back the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and diterranean Fleet.
"However, General, if this continues, the loss of our carrier-based fighters will be too great." Lieutenant General George Friedberg was a little worried. After all, the total number of carrier-based fighter jets of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and diterranean Fleet is only more than 300. After losing more than 80 planes yesterday, there are now only more than 270 planes left. If this continues, their carrier-based fighters will be exhausted within a few days. At that ti, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to intercept the fighter planes of the US Army Air Forces.
Admiral Rolf Karls nodded, this is indeed worthy of their attention.
"The country has already used a transport ship to urgently transport a batch of fighter planes to us. It is expected to arrive in a week. By then, we can replenish these carrier-based fighter jets. In addition, the air defense forces on Bermuda are also being strengthened. The airport's The construction is also accelerated. In two more days, the original two airports can be used. The Air Force will also send troops to station in ti." Admiral Rolf Karls said.
Although Bermuda is far away from the German mainland, it is only more than 2,000 kiloters away from the Azores controlled by Germany. Although this is beyond the maximum range of fighter jets equipped by the Luftwaffe. However, if the fighter plane carries auxiliary fuel tanks, it can fly directly from the Azores to Bermuda. Once the Air Force's fighter jets are stationed, the pressure on the Navy will be much less.
"What's more, it is impossible for the Arican air strikes to continue like this. They still can't hold on to the loss of hundreds of aircraft every day. Even if they can continue, the intensity will beco smaller and smaller. We intercept the US military The number of carrier-based aircraft lost by fighter jets will also beco smaller and smaller." Admiral Rolf Karls said.
George Friedberger Lieutenant General nodded, agreeing with Admiral Rolf Karls' point of view.
On the morning of October 18, the U.S. Army Air Force once again launched an attack on Bermuda. However, it may be the reason for the heavy loss yesterday. In today's offensive, the U.S. Army Air Force only dispatched 250 B-17 heavy bombers and 400 P-51 fighter jets. Moreover, these US military pilots are even more frightened.
It is really that their losses were too great yesterday, which made many US military pilots worry that they would not be able to go back alive after performing this mission. This cannot be blad on the US military pilots who are afraid of death, but if they know that they must die, I am afraid that not many people can really see death as ho.
In this day's air battle, perhaps because the US military was more afraid of death, the German Navy shot down 150 B-17 fighters and 300 P-17 fighters of the US Army Air Force with the loss of 50 carrier-based fighters. 51 fighters.
Such a heavy loss once again made the US Army Air Corps look sideways. In two days, they lost more than 350 B-17 heavy bombers and 650 P-51 fighters. Such a loss, no matter how strong the U.S. Army Air Corps is, it can't bear it!
"General, the Aricans have suffered such a large loss this ti, can they still send such a large fleet to attack us tomorrow?" Lieutenant General George Friedberg said.
"I'm afraid it can't be done. Even if they can have a large number of aircraft as supplents, the loss of pilots and crew mbers is not so easy to make up for. Next, the Arican attack will beco weaker and weaker. The diterranean Fleet can also Don't worry about heading north." Admiral Rolf Karls said.
Lieutenant General George Friedberg nodded: "The Arican air strikes are getting weaker and weaker. We alone can handle it. The diterranean Fleet can indeed go north and join hands with the local fleet to fight to the death with the US and British navies!" "
On the evening of October 18, the German Navy's diterranean Fleet left the waters near Bermuda and rushed to the mid-Atlantic waters, preparing to assist the ho fleet and fight to the death with the US and British navies.
