Jagged Germany

Chapter 1535: powerful air defense

?? "Woo!"

??The shrill air defense sirens have already sounded over the German fleet, and countless German sailors are already ready to fight at this time. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are already pointing at the sky. The entire German fleet is now on standby.

??The eight aircraft carriers of the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet aircraft carrier formation have been dispersed. These eight aircraft carriers are more than fifty kilometers apart from each other. The huge fleet is distributed in this sea area, almost occupying the entire sea area.

??The carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy's 1st and 4th aircraft carrier formations suffered heavy losses despite being intercepted by the German Navy's air defense fighters. However, now they are still rushing towards the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy. For them, it is their mission to sink all these aircraft carriers of the German Navy.

?? "Fire!" The German air defense commanders gave the order to fire after the U.S. carrier-based aircraft entered the range of the anti-aircraft guns.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The 105mm anti-aircraft guns fired. These large-caliber anti-aircraft guns not only have a super long range, but also have powerful power. Compared with the 127mm anti-aircraft gun of the US military, it is only stronger but not weaker.

??The shell exploded in the air, sending shrapnel flying, leaving clouds of black smoke.

?? "Boom!"

??A U.S. military dive bomber was hit on the spot, and the entire plane was blown to pieces at once.

?? "Boom boom boom!"

??As the US carrier-based aircraft got closer, anti-aircraft guns of other calibers in the German fleet also started firing.

??Compared to the anti-aircraft guns of the US army, among the anti-aircraft guns of the German army, in addition to anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm, 40 mm anti-aircraft guns and 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, there are also classic 88 mm anti-aircraft guns. The power and range of this anti-aircraft gun are second only to the 105mm anti-aircraft gun. However, the rate of fire is very fast. Whether it is the German Army, Air Force or Navy, they are all equipped with this anti-aircraft gun on a large scale. Even, the Army also uses this anti-aircraft gun to shoot at enemy tanks and use it as an anti-tank gun. It also has very good effects and can be described as a universal weapon.

??The German anti-aircraft guns fired wildly, and the dense shells exploded in the air, strangling the US carrier-based aircraft.

??Even after being attacked, the US carrier-based aircraft have dispersed. However, under the intensive air defense firepower of the German army, many US carrier-based aircraft were still smashed to pieces.

??The anti-aircraft guns are so powerful that many American pilots often die tragically on the spot after being hit. Wanting to escape by parachuting is nothing more than a luxury.

?? "Bastard, how can the German anti-aircraft firepower be so strong? The squadrons are scattered and concentrated firepower to attack a German aircraft carrier!" The commander of the US military immediately ordered.

??Originally, they did not have many carrier-based aircraft left, especially dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, which were previously the key hunting targets of the German air defense fighters. There isn't much left now. If they are dispersed again, they will definitely be easily killed by the German anti-aircraft firepower. Only by joining forces may it be possible to destroy the German aircraft carrier.

??The German Navy's "Hestia" aircraft carrier unfortunately became the target of the US Navy's siege. The hull of the 'Lord God-class' aircraft carrier is larger than that of the 'Constellation-class' aircraft carrier. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft of the US military will naturally take the "Lord God-class" aircraft carrier as a priority target for attack.

?? It's just that when these US carrier-based aircraft rushed to the German aircraft carrier, what awaited them was the intensive German anti-aircraft firepower.

??Each aircraft carrier of the German army is protected by one anti-aircraft cruiser, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and six destroyers. These cruisers and destroyers guard the aircraft carrier in the center. If the US carrier-based aircraft wants to attack the aircraft carrier, it will be hit by anti-aircraft fire from all directions. It's almost impossible to be successful.

??Especially the German anti-aircraft cruisers, which have very powerful anti-aircraft firepower. This kind of air defense cruiser has a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons. However, except for the two triple-mounted 155mm main guns, all the equipment is anti-aircraft guns, including six double-mounted 105mm anti-aircraft guns, 18 88mm single-mounted guns, 12 quadruple-mounted 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 12 anti-aircraft guns. Twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 80 20mm anti-aircraft guns. And a huge number of anti-aircraft machine guns.

??With so many anti-aircraft weapons, this air defense cruiser has completely become a sea fortress for anti-aircraft shooting. All enemy fighters who want to attack the aircraft carrier will be torn to pieces by its powerful anti-aircraft firepower.

?? It can be said that such an air defense cruiser is enough to block enemy fighter planes in one direction for the air force.

??In other directions, other warships are responsible. Many anti-aircraft guns were also deployed on the heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers of the German army. The aircraft carrier can be protected by powerful anti-aircraft firepower in four directions.

??In addition to the anti-aircraft firepower of the aircraft carrier itself, any enemy who wants to destroy the German aircraft carrier will pay a heavy price.

?? "Boom boom boom!"

??The German anti-aircraft cruiser FX32 is firing fiercely, and the intensive anti-aircraft firepower tore several U.S. carrier-based aircraft to pieces on the spot. The other U.S. carrier-based aircraft hurriedly avoided this direction to avoid being shot down by the fierce anti-aircraft fire.

?? "God! What happened to the German warship? How could it be equipped with so many anti-aircraft guns?" A US carrier-based aircraft pilot said in horror.

?? "That is the German air defense cruiser. I heard that the German aircraft carrier formation is equipped with this very powerful anti-aircraft cruiser as the bodyguard of their aircraft carrier."

?? "Damn, the Germans have such powerful anti-aircraft firepower, how can we break through their anti-aircraft firepower and sink their aircraft carrier?"

??Many U.S. carrier-based aircraft pilots were frightened by the powerful German anti-aircraft firepower. They even believed that charging against the German anti-aircraft firepower under such circumstances was simply asking for their own death. So, no one wants to attack anymore. Because, that is no different from courting death.

?? "Idiot! Continue to attack, we don't have much fuel. If we waste more time, we will not have enough fuel to return to our aircraft carrier!" The US carrier aircraft commander ordered.

??This made the US carrier-based aircraft pilots have to bite the bullet and launch an attack.
