Chapter 157

In the command tower of the battleship USS George V, Admiral Andrew Cunningham was dressed in a neat naval officer uniform.

This time, he was unable to eliminate the capital ship of the Kingdom of Caesar's Navy in one fell swoop. It was undoubtedly a pity for him.

But he believes that there will definitely be opportunities in the future.

As for the attack by the Third Reich Air Force, he didn't take it to heart.

Fighters launched from two Royal Navy aircraft carriers previously attacked the Caesar Kingdom's naval fleet, but achieved little results. The attack by the Caesar Kingdom Air Force against the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet also did not cause much damage to them.

This makes Admiral Andrew Cunningham not believe that aircraft can threaten warships on the sea. Especially these huge capital ships. In his opinion, as long as the battleships are equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it will be enough to make those aircraft futile and even pay a heavy price.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the aircraft carriers USS Eagle and USS Glorious asked if it is necessary to take off carrier-based fighter jets to meet the enemy? Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser asked.

Admiral Andrew Cunningham thought for a moment, then nodded:"Okay, let the two aircraft carriers release the remaining fighter jets to provide us with air defense protection!""

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Bruce Fraser replied.

However, the aircraft carriers of the USS Eagle and the USS Glory had already lost a lot of aircraft in yesterday's battle. In addition, the number of aircraft carriers of the Empire on which the sun never sets was originally There are not many, and there are only twenty Sea Fighter fighters left in total. At

6:40 in the morning on June 8, it was completely bright on the sea. The

13th Fighter Group of the Third Reich Air Force protected the 52nd Navy Dive Bomber and the 53rd Fighter Wing, approaching the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet.

"Discover the carrier-based fighter jets of the Empire on which the sun never sets! The 1st Squadron and the 2nd Squadron eliminated the carrier-based fighter jets of the Empire on which the sun never sets. In the 3rd episode, the covering navy brother launches the attack!"The commander of the 153rd Fighter Group of the Air Force ordered

"Yes, sir!"The pilots replied one after another.

The 24BF-109 fighter jets of the two squadrons immediately pounced on the carrier-based fighter jets over the Mediterranean Fleet.

The twenty Sea Fighter carrier-based fighter jets also discovered the huge fleet of the Third Reich and also They immediately greeted them.

These carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets looked very brave.

Perhaps they did not realize that there was a huge gap in performance between the fighters of both sides.

The Sea Fighter is a Gladiator. Navy version, this is a biplane with a maximum speed of 400 kilometers. The low-altitude dogfighting performance is pretty good, but the high-altitude and high-speed performance is very bad. The air force and navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the current air combat The thinking is still in the low-altitude dogfight stage, relying on the good hovering performance of fighter planes to fight the enemy.

In contrast, the Third Reich Air Force and naval aviation have developed extremely simple tactics. That is, using the high speed and high climb of fighter planes rate, dive into the enemy from a high altitude. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, then use the high climb rate to return to the high altitude and dive down again to attack. This tactic is relatively simple. However, it is very effective.

This does not require a pilot There are many flying skills, but the performance of the fighter aircraft must meet the standards. In this case, this tactic can be implemented.

Once the performance of the fighter aircraft does not meet the standards, this tactic cannot be implemented at all. It will even cause damage to the aircraft body. Cause damage.

For example, the Zero fighter of the Toyo Empire is definitely the king of low-altitude dog fights. However, if it dives at high speed, there is a high probability that this fighter will disintegrate in the air.

This is entirely because of the Zero fighter The reason why the aircraft body is very light and the structure is very fragile due to excessive pursuit of low-altitude dog fighting performance

"An old biplane. It seems that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is far behind the Empire in the field of aircraft!"

"Go to hell, Anglo-Saxons!"

The 24BF-109 fighter jet climbed to a high altitude, and then dived downwards.

"Da da da!"

The 12.7mm aviation machine gun on the wing fired violently, and the tracer bullets pulled out two bright white lines in the air.

The wing of a Sea Fighter fighter was broken on the spot.

The fighter lost its balance and fell to the sea. There was also a Sea Fighter. Fighter fighter, the glass cockpit was pierced by bullets from the aviation machine gun, and the pilot was beaten to a sieve on the spot. Blood spurted out, dyeing the entire cockpit red. It was only the first round of attacks, and twenty Sea Fighter fighter jets of the Royal Navy Half of them were lost.

The remaining ten Sea Fighter fighters were frightened and fled in all directions.

However, how could a Sea Fighter fighter with a maximum speed of only 400 kilometers per hour escape? What about the pursuit of the BF-109 fighters inside?

These BF-109 fighters continued to climb to a high altitude, and then dived down again to launch an attack. The

Sea Fighter fighters shook left and right, constantly dodging, trying to escape.

However, this It was all in vain.

One after another, the Sea Fighters were shot down by the BF-109 fighters of the Third Reich Air Force. They were killed as easily as burning turkeys.

"If the air force and naval aviation of the Empire on which the sun never sets only had such strength. Then, in this war, we may be able to defeat them easily!"A pilot from the Third Reich said lightly.

"No, don’t underestimate the empire on which the sun never sets. Their naval aviation was terrible. However, their air force is pretty good. It is said that although the performance of the Hurricane fighter jets that their air force has begun to serve is not comparable to that of our BF-109 fighter jets, it can already pose a threat to us. Even a more advanced Spitfire fighter has entered service. Even our BF-09 fighter jets are no less generous!"said a squadron leader

"Haha, no matter what, we are the strongest!"The pilot laughed.

"Yes, we are the most powerful!"The squadron leader also agreed.

The main fighter of the Third Reich Air Force is naturally the BF-109 fighter. But another more advanced FW-190 fighter is about to be mass-produced.

This will make the Third Reich more powerful in aircraft , firmly leading the world.

It is even said that a more advanced fighter is being developed, that is the T-152 fighter, which is known as the pinnacle of propeller fighters._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading -Collection, recommendation,
