“Can the Navy send out ground attack aircraft to help us attack the enemy’s position?”
Model quickly made targeted deployments based on the Navy’s aerial reconnaissance.
Even if this battle cannot wipe out all 1.3 million American troops, at least they must pay a heavy price!
In this way, the German army can reverse the passive situation on the battlefield!
“The main attack aircraft of the Navy’s carrier-based aircraft are carrier-based dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft. Both types of aircraft can be used to carry out ground attacks, but their bomb load is not large and cannot achieve the same good effect as strategic bombers!”
The commander-in-chief of the Navy in this operation was none other than Major General Nimitz.
As a former Eagle Sauce person who immigrated from Eagle Sauce to the Third Reich, Nimitz did not expect that one day he would return to his former homeland in this way.
However, after seeing what Eagle Sauce did to his German compatriots, his good impression of Eagle Sauce as a country has completely disappeared! After seeing the example of Eisenhower, Nimitz was very glad that he had left Eagle Sauce a long time ago and thrown himself into the arms of the Third Reich.
If he had stayed in Eagle Sauce, I am afraid his fate would not be much better than Eisenhower!
Eisenhower, as a rising star in the military favored by Admiral Pershing and President Roosevelt, was treated so unfairly.
He was an ordinary German with no background and no protection from senior leaders.
If a German-American officer is not a U.
S.
naval officer, he will definitely be dismissed from his post and thrown into prison at the first opportunity, and he may even be secretly eliminated in the future!
Therefore, Nimitz no longer has any good feelings towards the United States, and only hates it!
In order to escort Model’s Second Army to the United States smoothly, the German navy has deployed all its elite forces.
They dispatched two aircraft carriers, fourteen battleships and eight heavy cruisers, as well as a large number of landing ships, transport ships and various supply ships, forming a super-large fleet consisting of 420 ships of various types!
In this fleet, the number of combat ships is close to eighty, accounting for more than 80% of the current total naval strength of the German army!
From the naval forces dispatched by the German army, it can be seen that they are preparing to encounter the main force of the U.S. Navy at sea and then fight a decisive battle with the opponent!
No However, because Admiral King led the Eagle Sauce Navy to the north to cause trouble for the German airport in Greenland, the huge German fleet came up empty-handed and did not encounter any decent enemies along the way. They arrived in North America smoothly.
After completing the task of escorting the Second Army ashore, Nimitz’s fleet should have returned to mainland Europe. However
, considering that the Second Army and the former were trapped on the narrow Florida Peninsula, the terrain of this peninsula is very easy to be blockaded by the enemy at sea, so Dönitz asked them to stay in North America for a while longer to help the Second Army gain a foothold in North America!
Because they came in a hurry this time, the German army did not send fighters, and the Eagle Sauce’s local air force was very strong. In order to prevent the German army from being bombed by the US Air Force, the Berlin headquarters decided to send the two aircraft carriers The fighters stayed behind to serve as the air force of the German and Southern armies, so that they could seize air superiority on the battlefield and avoid being bombarded by the enemy without being able to fight back.
Because of this relationship, the relationship between the Navy and the Army is relatively close at present. A large number of fighter pilots, ground crew, and mechanics on the Navy’s aircraft carriers will be transferred from the aircraft carriers to the land and temporarily incorporated into the Army’s organization.
One of the Navy’s most important tasks at present is to help the Army complete the transition smoothly and assist them in breaking the current deadlock!
After hearing Nimitz’s words, Model did not force it.
Although the German aircraft carriers are larger and heavier than those of other countries, the number of carrier-based aircraft on their aircraft carriers is still relatively limited. The total number of carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers is only about 180, of which the number of fighters is about 100.
This number is incomparable to the terrifying number of fighters of the US military. According to the intelligence provided by Eisenhower, after forming its own air force in 1926, the Eagle Sauce Air Force developed very rapidly, although their plan to purchase advanced fighters from Hans failed!
However, they still produced a large number of fighter planes locally. For example, the latest fighter plane was developed in 1923 and officially put into production in 1927.——P-26 fighter!
The performance of this fighter is much ahead of the fighters during World War I. Its maximum take-off weight has been increased to 1.34 tons, its maximum flight speed has been increased to 380 kilometers per hour, and its combat radius has been increased to 200 kilometers!
This fighter is the first single-wing full-metal shell fighter developed by the Eagle Sauce. Compared with the biplane wooden fighters during World War I, it has made significant progress.
Although there is a big gap between the German BF109 fighter in terms of maneuverability, flight speed and combat radius, they have basically caught up with the performance of the German BF-108.
Therefore, this fighter can still bring a considerable air threat to the German army. If they seize air superiority, the German army will soon be bombed by US bombers!
After failing to purchase B29 from Hans, the Eagle Sauce accelerated the development of its own B-9 bomber and finally successfully flew this aircraft in June this year.
Although compared with the B-29, the B-9 bomber is a younger brother, with a bomb load of only about 1 ton, a range of only 2,000 kilometers, and a flying weight of only one-tenth of the B-29!
However, this is the first all-metal monoplane bomber developed by the Eagle Sauce. It solves the technical difficulties of the Eagle Sauce in this field. Although the performance is not outstanding, this technical accumulation gives the US military the opportunity to continue to improve and then develop a more powerful bomber of its own.
The Eagle Sauce’s imitation ability has always been very strong, especially on the basis of their world’s most powerful industrial strength, this reverse imitation ability is even more terrifying!
“In this case, please convert the torpedo planes into bombers and put all the dive bombers into combat. We need to launch a fierce attack on the US military to mobilize the US troops in the north. As long as they move, the four armored divisions in my hands will have the opportunity to find opportunities in mobile warfare and bite them hard!”
Although the naval aviation’s ground attack capability is not strong, it is better than nothing, and Model found that American soldiers seem to be very afraid of aerial bombing, so even if the German army’s ground attack capability is insufficient, it can also cause psychological deterrence to them! In this battle, his target is not the 1.3 million US troops in the encirclement, but the reinforcements of the US troops in the north!
