Jagged Germany

Chapter 1518: Air Defense and Bombing (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? "Attack! Fighters suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft launch an attack, and sink the American battleship!" The commander of the German army issued an order.

?? FW-190 fighter jets accelerated towards the US warship.

?? "Boom boom boom!"

??On the US warship, anti-aircraft guns started firing one after another. Whether it was a 40mm anti-aircraft gun or a 20mm anti-aircraft gun, they all started firing. Even those 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns were thrown into the mix.

??Intensive artillery fire formed a series of air defense nets in the sky, trying to envelop the German fighter planes and shoot them down.

??However, the German FW-190 fighter is very flexible. The pilots manipulated these fighter jets and shuttled among the anti-aircraft firepower of the US military, just like Haiyan in a storm.

??The air defense soldiers of the U.S. Navy also have no combat experience. They manipulated anti-aircraft guns and chased those German fighter planes. However, they found that they couldn't catch up at all. Moreover, their air defense firepower network was torn apart.

?? "Damn Germans, go to hell!" A 20mm anti-aircraft gun chased a German FW-190 fighter jet amidst the roar of the air defense soldiers. But the shell exploded in the air, leaving the FW-190 fighter unscathed.

"Da da da!"

??The FW-190 fighter jet fired, and the aviation machine guns fired wildly. The bullets hit the anti-aircraft gun positions, and sparks burst out. The US air defense soldiers, hiding under the gun shield, shivered.

?? "Ah!" There was a scream, and I saw several US air defense soldiers who had been hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood. The bullets of the powerful aviation machine gun are enough to tear the fragile bodies of these air defense soldiers to pieces.

?? "Idiots! Don't worry about those fighter jets, your targets are German bombers and torpedo planes. They are the ones that pose a fatal threat to us!" A US military officer shouted loudly.

?? While the U.S. air defense net was torn apart, the German dive bombers and torpedo attack planes had already taken the opportunity to launch an attack.

?? "Woo! Woo!"

??Accompanied by a shrill roar, several dive bombers launched an attack on a US destroyer.

?? This destroyer is located on the outskirts of the defensive circle of the US Navy's "New Hampshire" battleship. The German fleet needs to open a channel, and then attack the battleship "New Hampshire" at the core. Instead of directly attacking the battleship at the core. In that case, the anti-aircraft artillery fire from all directions would easily tear the German fighter planes into pieces.

??A dive bomber was hit by anti-aircraft fire as soon as it entered the dive channel. The powerful anti-aircraft fire directly blew up the obedience bomber to pieces.

??But the other dive bombers dropped their bombs smoothly.

?? Several bombs hit the destroyer at an almost vertical angle. The destroyer was quite unlucky and was hit by two heavy aviation armor-piercing shells. For a destroyer with a displacement of 2,500 tons, two heavy aviation armor-piercing shells were enough to kill him.

??Two heavy armor-piercing projectiles easily penetrated the deck armor and exploded inside the battleship. The huge power almost tore the destroyer into pieces. There are loopholes everywhere, and sea water is pouring into the hull like crazy.

?? Soon, the destroyer sank into the sea.

??After the destroyer was dealt with, the fleet of the German Navy began to attack the cruiser on the inside.

?? This ship is a "Cleveland-class" light cruiser named "Santa Fe".

??At this moment, the two quadruple-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns, two twin-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 21 20mm anti-aircraft guns on this battleship are all firing crazily.

??The entire battleship looks like a hedgehog.

??A German torpedo attack aircraft was hit by intensive anti-aircraft fire while it was still descending altitude. The wing of the fighter plane was broken, and the plane lost its balance and fell headlong on the sea.

?? But other fighters are still attacking.

?? "Woo! Woo!" Amidst the sharp roar, the dive bomber smashed the warship of the US Navy with aerial bombs.

??The torpedo attack plane took advantage of the chaos to launch a torpedo attack on those warships.

?? Heavy aviation armor-piercing shells smashed into the warships of the US fleet. A series of heavy aviation torpedoes strewn across the sea.

??The entire sea area is in chaos. The fleet of the German Navy is desperately trying to sink the warships of the American fleet. The anti-aircraft firepower of the US fleet opened fire frantically, trying to shoot down those German planes.

?? This was originally a life-and-death battle. If you don't kill and deal with it, you have to die.

?? "Boom!"

??A violent explosion sounded from an American light cruiser, and the light cruiser was already surrounded by flames and thick smoke. Two heavy aviation armor-piercing shells hit the middle and tail of the hull respectively, and exploded inside the hull. The adjacent cabin was blown up into a mess, and it also caused a raging fire.

?? Immediately afterwards, two 533mm heavy torpedoes hit the side of the light cruiser. The weak waterline armor was easily torn open with two big holes, and seawater poured into the hull frantically.

??Although the "Cleveland-class" light cruiser is known as the heaviest light cruiser in the US Navy, it has powerful firepower and extremely high speed. But like other light cruisers, the defense is not strong. Facing the siege of German planes, the light cruiser was clearly at the end of its life.

??The German Navy dispatched more than two hundred carrier-based aircraft to besiege the U.S. fleet. Even though the fleet had strong anti-aircraft firepower, it still suffered heavy losses during the siege.

??A large number of warships are on fire and burning, and thick smoke is billowing on the sea, as if this sea area has already burned.

??However, the warships currently sunk and severely damaged are mainly cruisers and destroyers. Those capital ships have not yet been besieged.

??The "Montana-class" battleships and "Iowa-class" battleships of the U.S. Navy have very powerful anti-aircraft firepower. If they attack rashly, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In addition, without disarming the cruisers and destroyers around these capital ships, it will be very difficult to sink those capital ships under intensive anti-aircraft fire. The price paid will be so great that the German Navy will find it difficult to bear.

?? Therefore, the fleet of the German Navy is to first disintegrate the air defense firepower network of the US fleet, open the attack channel, and then attack the US capital ships that are guarded at the core.

?? Of course, although the German fleet has achieved good results. But during the attack, many fighter planes were still shot down, and the losses paid were not small.
