"Ulla! Ulla! Log in! Grab the ferry! ”

"No! The Germans have set up a lot of minefields and obstacles on the beachhead and near the ferry! ”

"Oops! I stepped on thunder! ”

"Boom! Thundered! ”

"Everyone be careful of the minefield under your feet, there are a lot of mines and mines laid here!"

"Miserable! There are still a lot of machine-gun positions here! There are also a lot of hidden gun emplacements! ”

"Alexey! Come on! ”

"Can't run! I was shot! I don't want to die! ”

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

"Tom tom! Tom tom! Tom ......"

"Boom! Thundered! Rumble ......"

When the American amphibious landing craft loaded with Soviet troops and tank units to seize the beach, these Soviet troops soon encountered a large number of various fortifications and minefields set up by the German army, and resisted them, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

At the same time, the terrible howls, painful wails, and frightened cries of the Soviet soldiers continued to follow; and resounded in the sky, making the latecomers shudder.

"Ulla! Ulla! Don't be afraid of the German minefields and obstacle areas, we will fight with them in order to recover our land! Long live the Soviets! Long live Comrade Stalin! Come on! ”

"Commander Alex is right! Let's rush! Victory belongs to our Soviets! ”

"Rush! For the liberation of Ukraine! Let's rush! ”

"Rush! Come on! Ulla! Ulla! ”

But for the Soviet army, which suffered more and more casualties, whether they were up to the division commander, or down to the lowest level of soldiers, or even the cannon fodder soldiers who charged at the front; They were all desperately charging with high morale, snatching every crossing along the Dnieper and trying to build bridgeheads desperately.

In the face of the fierce and death-defying charge of the Soviet army, the German troops under Moder also seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly they were also excited and crazy to counterattack like chicken blood.

As a result, a fierce and tragic battle for the ferry was gradually heated in the war stage.

Both Soviet and German armies used all their resources to fend off each other's attacks, and to fight back mercilessly, as well as to kill.

the dense sound of gunfire, and the deafening sound of shelling, and the earth-shaking shouts of killing; All of them constantly shook the entire Dnieper, which made people shudder.

At this time, the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean Sea was still engaged in a fierce naval battle with Chen Yanlong's Midway aircraft carrier fleet.

After two days of fighting, the US military has lost more than 120 large and small ships, and Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet has also lost more than 20 ships.

As for carrier-based aircraft, the US military lost more than 100 aircraft, while the German army lost only more than 10 aircraft.

In the face of such a huge loss comparison, the hearts of the US military are dripping with blood.

But even so, when the Battle of the Dnieper began, Cunningham Hewitt continued to send a large number of SBD-3 dreadnought dive bombers and TBF-1 Avenger torpedo planes to bomb Dönitz's carrier fleet, and of course, a large number of F4F-4 carrier-based F4F-4 Wildcat fighters to escort the ship.

Moreover, these carrier-based fighters still carry a 160-liter auxiliary fuel tank in the belly.

The SBD-3 dreadnought dive bombers each carried one 454-kilogram bomb, while the TBF-1 Avenger torpedo aircraft each carried four 227-kilogram bombs.

These planes all climbed slowly at 222 km/h on the U.S. aircraft carriers, and when they climbed to an altitude of 2,000 km, SBD-3 dreadnought dive bombers and TBF-1 Avenger torpedo planes attacked Dönitz's carrier fleet under the escort of F4F-4 carrier-based F4F-4 Wildcat fighters.

At this time, the S-3, S-7, S-6, S-10 and other dreadnought dive bombers belonging to the VS-10 squadron series that were dispatched by the US military to reconnoiter the enemy's situation in the 12th wave had also completed their reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrol missions and returned to their original US aircraft carriers.

However, the 10 SBD-3 dreadnought dive bombers of the VB-11 squadron, which carried out reconnaissance and anti-submarine patrol missions, were completely destroyed by the attack of the German F-8D carrier-based fighters.

"The azimuth is 320 degrees, and the German warships and 2 battleships were found at a distance of 200 kilometers!"

"Everyone be on guard and prepare to attack!"

"Yes! Captain! ”

It didn't take long for the American aircraft group to discover Dönitz's battleship, and alerted all the planes to it, and prepared to attack.

"Hey! John! Do you think we're going to die in battle? ”

"Be optimistic, God will bless us, don't think about these negative situations! Gurlit! ”

"I want to too! But the combat performance of the German army's new shipboard is very strong! We have already had quite a few carrier-based aircraft wiped out by them! The VB-11 squadron, which has just performed reconnaissance and anti-submarine missions, was also reimbursed in this way! None of them returned safely! ”

"And the German ships and aircraft carriers are also very ferocious, and our bomber groups and fighters have also been shot down by them! I'm really worried! ”

"Pray! God will bless us! And we also have a good side, we also sank a lot of German ships, and shot down a lot of new German aircraft! We don't just get beaten and have no power to fight back! ”

"Hmmm! I know this! But I'm just scared! ”

"Good luck! The German battleships have already appeared in front of us, I'm going to prepare for bombing, be careful yourself! I won't say more to you! Gurlit! ”

"Ahh Wait for me! I'm going with you too! ”

After the combat orders of the US military captains were issued, quite a number of US military pilots were nervous or worried about using the airborne radio to talk.

But in the end, these worried American pilots bravely rushed towards the German battleships.

At the same time, US battleships and other ships were also deployed at a distance of more than 200 meters, preparing to meet the counterattack of the German fleet and carrier-based aircraft.

"The current situation is not optimistic for us! Commander Cunningham! Shall we immediately load all of Montgomery's and Patton's troops onto the ship and evacuate? ”

Looking at the casualty figures of ships and planes in the past two days, Hewitt was in a heavy mood and said to the Cunningham naval commander beside him with a worried face.

"I have reported this to Commander Eisenhower, to Commander Alexander, to Prime Minister Churchill, and to President Roosevelt! I'm also waiting for their new orders! ”

Cunningham also responded with some concern.

"It's really unexpected that the German army would have such a large and powerful aircraft carrier fleet!"

Hewitt sighed.

"I still can't believe it! If it weren't for the casualty reports of our planes and ships, which were actually presented to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed this thing! But fortunately, these German aircraft carrier fleets and carrier-based aircraft pilots do not seem to be very skilled in combat experience, or it can be said that they are some rookies who do not have any actual combat experience! ”

"That's why I was able to fight for two days and two nights in this naval battle, and I only lost so few planes and ships! If the combat strength of this batch of German aircraft carrier fleets is very strong, then we will be in great trouble this time, and our fleet will be severely damaged! ”

Cunningham said with a sudden sigh of relief.

"Perhaps! But our current casualty situation is not optimistic! ”

Hewitt, however, was still nervously worried.

"Let's play one more game and see how the results are!"

Cunningham decided.

"Hmmm! That's all we can do now! There is no other way! ”

Hewitt nodded and sighed.

Then the two of them also focused all their energy on the upcoming naval battle.
