Looking at the large group of German planes approaching from a distance, the black crowd, Mitchell's face was solemn and he did not say a word.

The entire Atlantic Fleet originally had a total of 750 aircraft, and after the emergency call in reserve, it had 804 aircraft. In terms of scale, the Atlantic Fleet can carry more aircraft, but the pilots are currently the shortcomings of the US military, and because of the two Essex-class aircraft carriers, the number of pilots has not even reached the minimum coefficient of 2, and even if it carries more aircraft, it is a burden, and finally it did its best to release 804 aircraft.

Although there is still a large contingent of pilots in the country, the number is measured in the thousands, but such a novice who has not fought can carry out such a fierce naval and air battle, and the rumors of giving the opponent's head to the Caribbean "turkey hunting competition" have been circulating in the United States with the confessions of several German pilots who were captured after parachuting.

Although these words were very mean, they were very vivid and vivid, which made the faces of senior US generals who heard about it for the first time twitch. However, the German army does have proud capital, some of these captured pilots were shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and some were shot down by US fighter pilots, but there is no doubt that they all have rich combat experience, and some even have the US military that fought all over Barbarossa and then transferred to South America.

And the German pilot's merit card made the face of the US military top brass ugly, which clearly recorded the source and composition of the points, as well as a reminder of what points can be exchanged for what medals, and the experts saw the problem as soon as they analyzed it, and there were two periods when the pilots increased their points the fastest, the first was accumulated when the Soviets launched a counterattack desperately in the later stage of the Eastern Front Campaign, and the other was accumulated in the American Campaign. In the words of the German pilots, since the end of the Eastern Front, it has been a long time since I have found a place where I can increase my points refreshingly, and the American Campaign is the place that the whole German Air Force yearns for, and the metaphor of the image of "hunting turkey" is said to have leaked out of the mouth of General Garland.

Anger is anger, but there is nothing to be done.

Because this group of pilots was saved by the Atlantic Fleet after eight months of recuperation, plus the two groups of men transferred from the Pacific Fleet, one of which was originally transferred by Turner when it was first established into the army, and the other batch of pilots who were transferred after the collapse of the Pacific Fleet, plus the original remaining personnel of the Atlantic Fleet and the newly trained pilots, as well as the personnel who were unscrupulously transferred from the British and Canadian governments, they finally got enough manpower and can be regarded as the last family of the Navy.

Thanks to the huge national strength of the United States and its almost endless reserve personnel reserves, this training system is not only larger than that of Japan and Germany combined, but also not slow, and the foundation is also solid, compared with the Red Army's pilots who only trained for twenty or thirty hours. If everyone starts training HNA pilots from scratch, Japan and Germany together will not be the opponents of the US military.

However, the problem lies in the fact that Japan and Germany did not start from scratch: Germany grabbed excellent seedlings from the air force and cultivated them, while Japan relied on the foundation laid before the war and the training of accelerated pilots in practice. The two sides have invariably adopted the routine of a large number of veterans with new pilots, and the teams with and without veterans are completely two tactical abilities. Just like a group of lions competing for supremacy, one side is mostly young lions, only a few adult male lions, one side is a large number of adult male lions with some young lions, the former lion cubs died in the battle in large numbers, the latter lion cubs not only preserved but also received a rare baptism of war, the results are of course extraordinary.

If the two sides switch positions and let Japan and Germany suffer many major blood losses from the United States, I am afraid that they will not be able to pull out the team sooner rather than later.

Although 804 planes are not full, but they are definitely not small, in order to transfer manpower, even the original Navy formulated the five-level replacement system is now not taken into account, and it is said that there are now several Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers lying on the Norfolk naval base, not the problem of ships, but the problem of people, and it is difficult for skilled sailors and pilots to fully meet the needs of the war.

Even with such a huge number, after sending four attack waves successively, the entire Atlantic defense force was only 146 fighters, and now Mitchell can only count on these more than 100 planes to block and kill more German attacking planes.

Admiral King, Turner, and Mitchell all knew the situation of the navy and tried desperately to delay the time for the decisive battle, but the axis was pressing forward step by step, and the political pressure was increasing day by day. The occupation of Bermuda by the German detachment was the last straw that broke the camel's back, announcing the ineffectiveness of the waiting tactics, because waiting does not seem to be of much use, Japan and Germany are also desperately building ships, especially the spread of the news of the Axis class construction makes the United States feel terrified and settled down European ships, the United States can barely confront, but if you add Japan, it really can't fight. This is because this is equivalent to the United States, which was the first in the world in the pre-war naval world, to join forces with the naval power that ranked 26th in the pre-war naval power, and this cruel reality has put heavy pressure on the United States.

On the battlefield, it was Mitchell and Hewitt and others who specifically felt this heavy pressure, even if the fleet deployed so many planes to intercept it, the effect was not particularly obvious, and a large number of German attack groups still rushed over, and the first target was the left flank of the fleet.

The attack began with the light cruiser Oklahoma City, and the keen German commander caught the smoke rising there, and this cloud of smoke was emitted by the aircraft carrier Champlain Lake in the previous attack, and although the overall battle damage of the aircraft carrier that ate three 400-kilogram bombs had been controlled, the black smoke emitted constantly reminded others that the ship was injured. This cloud of black smoke was so dazzling that it was locked by German planes in the air early on.

In order to protect the very valuable fleet aircraft carriers, Mitchell put out a wheel-shaped anti-aircraft array, in view of the large number of aircraft carriers on his side, this time the wheel-shaped shape has been improved on the basis of the standard wheel-shaped anti-aircraft array, and in the middle is two semicircles linked together, the so-called double-ring wheeled anti-aircraft array. Mitchell not only arranged destroyers close to him on the periphery, but also arranged light cruisers and battleships in the inner ring to provide close protection for the aircraft carriers.

In the face of the blazing and dense anti-aircraft fire of the US army, 9 JU298 bombers dived down and took the lead in attacking; At the same time, more than 30 attack planes carrying torpedoes also pounced on them from all sides, firing torpedoes, and their goal was not to hit any warship, but to disrupt the entire wheeled air defense formation.

Within 3 minutes, the light cruiser Oklahoma City ate 8 bombs, 2 of which were still two clean combos, such a dense kill made this light cruiser with a displacement of only 20,000 tons unable to support it, and began to sink slowly.

As soon as the light cruiser sank, the aircraft carrier Lake Champlain was immediately exposed to the German field of vision, 6 ju298s carrying torpedoes launched a fan-shaped salvo, the previous wounded, the speed has been reduced to no more than 22 knots of the aircraft carrier desperately evaded, but in the end only 5 escaped, one of the torpedoes was firmly rooted in the stern of the ship, after a loud bang, the tail structure of the aircraft carrier was blown up, and even one side of the steering gear was destroyed, and it couldn't help but spin on the sea.

Colonel William, who was in command from the air, nodded, and left the badly damaged Lake Champlain alone, and ordered the attack to be directed at the Alaska on the ship's right flank. In the attack just now, Alaska projected blazing anti-aircraft firepower, which surprised him, and in the face of this new type of large air defense battleship, he did not dare to slack off, and directly boarded a total of 18 dive bombers with six crews.
