Marshall, of course, looked down on himself or the Canadians, and thought that they were all Japanese troops living on Tarawa or German troops in Cape Verde, and with such fierce firepower from Lieutenant General Bei, the defenders without permanent underground and semi-underground fortifications could not stop it, not to mention that the Allies could not stop it, even the German army could not stop it, otherwise, what would the German army on Saar Island do when they put the Americans on the beachhead?

After losing his temper, he had no choice but to turn his head and say to Eisenhower: "Let Matthew pull the 101st Airborne Division to Maine, and he will be ready to support Newfoundland by the evening of December 1......"

Everyone was silent, and it wasn't a good job......

The sky gradually brightened, the first German attack wave had returned, although the goal of completely destroying the Konabrook airfield was achieved, but the loss of more than 10 aircraft made the fleet top brass frown, including the first air raid, the fleet had lost a total of more than 30 aircraft, although the stock of spare aircraft could make up for this loss, but the loss of pilots could not be made up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter what, the battle had to continue, Ozawa sent more than 40 fighters to the artillery fleet to provide air defense cover, and the rest of the planes, except for the fleet direct cover aircraft, all landed on the carrier for oil bomb replenishment.

The second bad news soon came, Vice Admiral Pei reported to the fleet that a US reconnaissance plane had appeared outside the port of St. John's, and although our air defense fighters did their best to destroy it, the intelligence must have been sent, and the US troops must have found out the location and distribution of their artillery fleet, and at the same time, they would also see those captured cargo ships moving slowly eastward, and he was worried that it would affect the next operation.

Lieutenant General Pei's concerns were not unfounded, and there was a heated discussion at the top level of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the issue of where the first round of air raids on Prince Edward Island should be targeted, and four opinions were put forward at the meeting: first, to find the German aircraft carrier formation and attack it; second, the nearest air raid on the German artillery formation; thirdly, air strikes on the German landing force; Fourth, air strikes on freighters that failed to evacuate to prevent them from being used by the Germans.

The last opinion was quickly ruled out, because there were still a large number of Allied sailors and officers and men above, and in the event of an air raid, it would be difficult to explain this matter in the future, and the priority was to destroy the enemy forces, and when the German fleet was killed, were they afraid that they would not be able to recover these freighters?

The third opinion was quickly postponed, as the Germans had not landed, and Arnold said that he would send Maine heavy bombers to bomb the landing forces, so the focus of the meeting was on attacking the German artillery formations or attacking the aircraft carrier formations.

Both Arnold and Admiral King demanded that the aircraft carrier be attacked first, and after the aircraft carrier was defeated, the shelling of the fleet would be a turtle in an urn, and there was nothing to worry about;

Marshall and the rest of the Army hierarchy demanded that the battleships be attacked first, and they were frightened by the story of the last Caribbean campaign in which they attacked the Japanese aircraft carriers first, resulting in the total destruction of their own carriers, and thought that it would be better to have one bird in hand than two birds in the forest.

Since the exact location of the German aircraft carrier group was not clear at this time, after a heated debate, Marshall reluctantly persuaded Admiral King to agree to attack the artillery formation first, and since the Prince Edward Island air base was nearly 800 kilometers away from the German fleet, the shorter range sea attack aircraft did not return after completing the operation, but went directly to Newfoundland to parachute. P51 fighters and bombers returned to base.

"Sir, Admiral Cunningham has sent a telegram that his fleet is still 1,500 kilometers away from Newfoundland in a straight line, and he will be on time for the battlefield in 2 days."

Admiral Kim nodded and said viciously: "This time, we want to leave all this audacious German fleet here." ”

Ozawa believed that the US military base on Prince Edward Island was too much of a nuisance and that it must be removed, and asked the entire fleet to move southwest and destroy it in the evening. But it didn't take long for the good news to come, the cross-platform operation of the broken fleet has arrived at the designated position and released the aircraft, the Azores for reinforcements also took off at the same time, according to the dispatch, the first batch of 48 carrier-based aircraft on the broken aircraft carrier will fly to the main fleet at about 10 o'clock in the morning to support, the reinforcements on the Azores will also arrive at the carrier at about the same time.

With these 48 reinforcement planes as the base, Machar immediately agreed with Ozawa's opinion, and on the one hand, the fleet moved to the southwest, and on the other hand, let the reconnaissance planes expand their reconnaissance field and find out the situation on Prince Edward Island, and at the same time sent 48 planes to reinforce the landing battlefield.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a total of more than 180 planes, including 36 P51s, 32 SBDs, 32 TBFs, and more than 80 B-24, B-25, and B-29, were dispatched to St. John's Harbor with murderous vigour, aiming directly at Lieutenant General Pei's troops, but when they arrived at the designated attack site, they found that the Germans had begun to land, the German capital ships were loitering in the deep sea area, and the Germans still had nearly 70 fighters intercepting their own side...... Considering that the horizontal bombers were not effective in attacking ships, the commander made a temporary change of decision to send more than 40 bombers to attack the German troops landing on the beachhead, and he himself led the rest of the planes to attack the German fleet.

Although the number of American troops was nearly twice that of the German army, the German elites who had experienced a hundred battles were fearless and fought against the American army. Everyone admits that the P51B is a good aircraft, but at low altitudes it is not as maneuverable as the BF-219, therefore
