Chapter 1544 Big Victory

"General, our second round of attack has ended. The carrier-based plane has dropped all the bombs and torpedoes and is returning." Lieutenant General George Friedberg reported.

Admiral Rolf Karls nodded. This was the last round of attack they launched in this naval battle. As the American fleet fled wildly, it was already very difficult for them to catch up. In addition, the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft were already exhausted after two consecutive dispatches. Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for them to forcefully launch a third round of attacks. In that case, I'm afraid it will cause even greater losses.

In this naval battle, the losses of the Atlantic Fleet were already large enough. The carrier-based aircraft units on the eight aircraft carriers suffered more than 40% battle damage. This kind of loss has reached the point where it hurts the muscles and bones. If they lose some more, it will be even more difficult for them to recover their combat effectiveness. Although the current losses are not small, if a batch of carrier-based aircraft and pilots can be replenished as soon as possible, they will soon be able to restore their combat effectiveness. At that time, the Atlantic Fleet can still look for opportunities in the Atlantic Ocean and continue to attack the US Fleet.

Now that the war has begun, the war will not end if there is no winner between Germany and the United States. Therefore, for the German Navy, there are still many big battles to be fought, and the Atlantic Fleet will get more opportunities in the next war.

"How about our results?" Admiral Rolf Karls asked.

"During this round of attack, we teamed up with the Mediterranean Fleet and once again sank four aircraft carriers of the US fleet, namely the aircraft carrier 'Enterprise', the aircraft carrier 'Wasp', the aircraft carrier 'Independence' and ' Monterey' aircraft carrier. Among them, the front two are large aircraft carriers, and the rear two are light aircraft carriers." Lieutenant General George Friedberg smiled. Obviously, he is happy for the fleet's major victory.

Admiral Rolf Karls also had a smile on his face. This naval battle has come to an end. However, the results obtained by the German Navy in this naval battle are equally satisfactory. Not counting cruisers and destroyers, as many as 15 American aircraft carriers have been sunk by the aircraft carrier formations of the three major fleets of the German Navy, including 10 large aircraft carriers and five light aircraft carriers. Although there are still 9 aircraft carriers left in the U.S. fleet, there are only five large aircraft carriers, plus four light aircraft carriers. Their strength is not even comparable to the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet. In the ensuing war, the German Navy could easily gain command of the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, the U.S. Navy suffered even more heavy losses, undoubtedly the carrier-based aircraft unit. A large number of carrier-based aircraft have been lost in the air battle and the anti-aircraft fire of the German fleet. This also means that even if these aircraft carriers of the US Navy escape back to the United States, they will not be able to pose any threat to the German Navy until the carrier-based aircraft and pilots are replenished. Of course, the loss of a large number of elite pilots is also a heavy blow to the US Navy. It can be said that this naval battle has once again shattered the hopes of the US Navy's rise.

"General, if we count the US cruisers and destroyers we have sunk, our results will be even greater. According to preliminary statistics, we have sunk more than 12 heavy cruisers, 20 light cruisers and 50 destroyers of the US Navy." Lieutenant General George Friedberg continued.

"Very well, through the victory of this naval battle, we have been able to determine the dominance of the Atlantic Ocean!" Admiral Rolf Karls said.

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General George Friedberg nodded.

"Send the news to the 'Poseidon' aircraft carrier. It is still up to the marshal to report the good news of the victory to the country." Admiral Rolf Karls said.

Although, in this naval battle, the Atlantic Fleet contributed a lot. Even, their combat exploits are the greatest. However, Marshal Lütjens was the commander of this naval battle. Therefore, the final good news should also be sent by Marshal Lütjens.

"Yes, General." Lieutenant General George Friedberg immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time, on the "Poseidon" aircraft carrier, Marshal Lütjens and Lieutenant General Karl Weitzer are also counting the results of the battle.

"I really didn't expect that we were able to sink 15 American aircraft carriers in this battle. Although 5 of them were light aircraft carriers, it was also very good. For the Imperial Navy, this is undoubtedly a brilliant Victory!" Marshal Lütjens sighed.

Although, before the start of this naval battle, they were full of confidence in winning. However, they never imagined that such a major victory would be achieved.

"Yes, Marshal. The U.S. Navy has already suffered heavy losses after this battle. If they want to compete with us for sea dominance in the Atlantic Ocean, it is simply delusional." Marshal Carl Witzel said.

Marshal Lütjens nodded. The loss of 15 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 20 light cruisers and as many as fifty destroyers is enough to make the U.S. Navy hurt.

"What about the main fleet?" Marshal Lütjens asked.

When the aircraft carrier formations of the three major fleets attacked the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier formations, the Azores also launched a large number of shore-based aircraft to attack the U.S. Navy's capital ship formations. Although the capital ships of the U.S. Navy have powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it is obviously impossible to resist the attack of the German shore-based aircraft.

"Your Excellency the Marshal, the Azores just sent a telegram. During their attack, they once again sank two American battleships, namely the battleship 'New Hampshire' and the battleship 'Louisiana' of the US Navy. .In addition, many cruisers and destroyers were sunk by us. If it is regarded as the result of the capital ship formation, then we have sunk a total of nine capital ships, 7 heavy cruisers, and 8 US Navy battleships in this naval battle. light cruisers and 13 destroyers," Lieutenant General Carl Weitzel reported.

Compared with the aircraft carrier formation, the battle results obtained by the capital ship formation and shore-based aircraft seem to be a little smaller. However, this is already a big victory. From now on, there are only six ships left in the battleship formation of the US Navy. Although the remaining three "Montana-class" battleships and the three "Iowa-class" battleships are very powerful, it is undoubtedly even more impossible to confront the German navy.
