My Third Empire

1213 Battle of Iceland

Lütjens shook his head, and reported to Marshal Raeder with some regrets: Unfortunately, we cannot confirm how many aircraft carriers the Americans dispatched, but what can be confirmed is that the British Ark Royal is in the opponent's fleet. among!

Raeder looked at his pocket watch, then raised his eyes, nodded and said: Everything is deployed according to the original plan, let's take off the second attack fleet on time! Also, hurry up and confirm the number of aircraft carriers on the other side, don't make any mistakes!

Of order! After Lütjens nodded slightly, he began a new round of combat deployment. His reconnaissance plane had confirmed the position of the opponent's fleet. The weather was calm at this time, and the fleet was also in a favorable position against the wind. There was no reason Let go of the Allied fleet in front of you, so while the Allied forces took off the fighter force, Lütjens was also giving an order to take off the fighter force to provide air defense cover for the entire fleet.

In fact, the two battleships of the Soviet Union have very average combat capabilities. Although they use the latest 406mm main guns, they look quite scary, but the German Navy decided to place these two battleships next to the aircraft carrier as a large USS anti-aircraft cruiser to use. After all, my family knew their own affairs, and originally planned to cheat the Soviet Union's battleship plan, but ended up cheating myself-this is really a real trick of good fortune.

German Navy fighter ace pilot Günter Lahr was flying his FW-190D fighter in the sky. He was responsible for covering 20 combat aircraft of various types, and was the first to attack the Allied sea targets. Knowing the news that the opponent is approaching, after all, even the lagging radar has already discovered the approaching aircraft fleet.

At the height of the clouds, the two sides quickly saw each other's appearance. The first batch of 24 P-40 fighter jets were waiting for the German fighter jets to come to the door, and the 10 German FW-190D fighter jets escorted by them were not polite, and directly accelerated towards the These are these dangerous goals. A chaotic situation suddenly appeared in the sky, the fighter jets of both sides began to entangle each other, and the sound of the roaring engine could be heard clearly even on the deck of the ship on the sea.

Most of the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the German Navy are carefully selected from the Air Force, and many fighter pilots have achieved good results in land-based air combat. Although they are not as experienced in maritime combat as the US and Japanese naval aviation in the Pacific, they are still very confident in using fighter jets for air combat.

These pilots drove fighter jets in the sky and started a thrilling dog fight with American pilots. As soon as the two sides fought, they were taken aback by the opponent's strength. Gunter Lal manipulated his own fighter jet and quickly bit the tail of one of the opponent's P-40 fighter jets, but the opponent obviously had a lot of combat experience in this field, shaking it left and right did not give him a suitable chance to fire .

As a result, a shortcoming of the German fighter jets immediately appeared-the lack of a large ammunition load, which caused the German pilots to cherish their ammunition very much. When there is no particularly good opportunity to fire, the German pilots will basically wait for the next round Chance to fire.

The defects of the German aircraft’s low ammunition capacity earlier were covered up by the powerful performance of the fighters. Now that the gap between the fighters of the two sides is not so huge, some inconspicuous defects have begun to stand out.

Günter Lal heard his wingman start reminding himself in the headset that another American plane was about to cut into his tail and attack him, so he had to abandon this target, turn the nose and fly in another direction go. The American pilot behind him obviously didn't expect the plane in front to give up the fat to his mouth so decisively, so he had to drive his own plane to escape from this partial contest.

Damn! These American pilots are veterans! Watch out for their wingmen! Be careful! Keep flying! Don't be lured by them into the combat airspace below 8000 meters, their planes are good! Heydrich! Get out of the way! Hans Climb high! Günter Lal is worthy of being the first ace pilot in the navy. After a short contact with him, he immediately judged that the strength of the opponent's naval aviation has improved significantly.

So without the slightest hesitation, he immediately called his own aircraft carrier fleet: Dragon's Cave! Dragon's Cave! I'm Young Dragon No. 1! Please answer if you hear that! The enemy pilots are very powerful! Please increase the number of escort fighters! Damn it! Wingman ! I'm being watched! I want to get rid of to the right, follow me!

After the report, if he wanted to remind the friendly troops, Günter Lal pulled his joystick to the right to get the plane out of the shooting range of the American fighter jets. The opponent does not have the problem of limited ammunition. American fighter jets equipped with 12.7mm machine guns have ample ammunition and high firepower density. Compared with German aircraft, they can fire unscrupulously. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will always buckle it. Trigger to try your luck.

A roll adjusted his position, and then Jingte Lal showed the quality of an old pilot. He quickly bit an American fighter jet, and then fired violently unexpectedly, killing the opponent all at once. Hit into a ball of fire. Although the ammunition is limited, the German 30mm cannon is definitely not a joke. This thing can easily tear apart any structure of the fighter jet and smash anything inside!

Most of these American fighter pilots who took off to intercept German aircraft were drawn from the Pacific battlefield. Although the United States didn't mind whether the battle was won or lost, in the eyes of the military, it was very necessary to severely damage the German fleet. Therefore, they deployed better pilots for their own fleet as much as possible. These pilots have all experienced fighting with Japanese Zero fighters.

However, even with the relatively elite flying troops in the hands of the United States, these American soldiers flying the planes immediately felt the pressure brought by the German fighters who were at a disadvantage in numbers-unlike those flexible Japanese Zero fighters. , these German enemies were more direct and violent.

The well-known FW-190 fighter is heavier and stronger than the Zero fighter, and has partial protective armor. The fuel tank also has a self-sealing structure... These factors determine how many bullets hit the German plane, and the Japanese one The results on the Zero were quite different. The Zero fighter may have caught fire directly, but the German fighter can continue to fight and perform dangerous technical maneuvers.

What makes these American pilots even more tangled is that the pilots in these German planes, their skills and cooperation can be said to be flawless, and there is no sign of confusion in the face of American fighter jets. They soared in the sky like eagles, and when they looked for an opportunity, they rushed over and poured deadly ammunition on American planes.

Peter was hit! My God! Did they use shells? Peter's plane exploded! It exploded in the sky! An American fighter pilot watched his comrade's plane disintegrate into parts in the sky, and hurried Shouted loudly: Be careful and dodge! These German planes are really powerful!

Needless to say, we will be careful! They are rushing! We have no advantage in speed! Be careful of their rolls and dives! Are these damn Germans crazy? Bite so close? In another plane , the American pilot who shot down 2 Japanese fighter jets on the Pacific battlefield complained loudly. He flew the plane to lock the opponent's plane several times, but was avoided by the superb German technology.

It's like two gamers who have never met each other before entering the game with a mentality of abusing novices, but when the two of them meet, they suddenly find that the strength of the other party is equivalent to 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 Stuka bomber, which was slow and lacked self-defense capabilities, was shot down by American fighter jets. The German plane dragged a long black smoke, and seemed to fall into the sea reluctantly. This was the first German naval attack plane shot down by the Americans, so it immediately inspired the American allies who were fighting the German fighter jets in the sky.

Unfortunately, this encouragement only lasted for 5 seconds before being broken. The German fighters seized the opportunity of the slow climb of the American planes at once, and shot down three American fighters one after another. All of a sudden, the sky became lively, and the sound of explosions came and went. The American pilots didn't even have the chance to parachute, so they exploded over the sea along with the wreckage of their own plane.

I saw the Allied aircraft carrier fleet! My God! Their ships can't see the end at a glance! Ready to attack! Ready to attack! Lock on the opponent's aircraft carrier and battleship, and drop bombs as accurately as possible! In the attack fleet, a The German commander looked at the Allied warships one after another under his feet, and reported to his fleet through the throat talker: An American aircraft carrier that has never been seen before, followed by the Ark Royal! There seems to be another ship behind it. ship...

Boom! Every anti-aircraft gun was aimed at the angle that it should block, and fired crazily at the hovering German planes in the sky.

Dense shells rubbed against the wings of the German planes and flew into the sky. With the roar of the engines, these fearless sea fighters drove their planes and dived towards the targets on the sea at high speed... The decisive battle in the Atlantic immediately ushered in climax.
