Chapter 1097 Missiles in the Atlantic Ocean 10

The Atlantic Ocean, like a whole piece of blue amber, is endless, with only soft clouds like cotton wool floating outside the window. But Lieutenant Jean Henry Bernard has no time to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

Because he is now participating in a war that he cannot identify with at all. As a Frenchman from Toulouse in southern France, he participated in the "French-German Brotherly War" from 1939 to 1940 - this is the name given by the European Community to the Franco-German War in the early days of World War II. He has a big gap with those blond and blue-eyed supermen in terms of appearance and thinking. As a black-haired, short Frenchman who doesn't look very white, he will not agree with the "Pan-Aryanism" of the Frank Legion in the north.

In his view, France is France, Germany is Germany, and the two cannot be united at all. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler can do it. Moreover, Germany is the enemy of France. In 1940, it overthrew the glorious France, snatched Alsace and Lorraine once again, and forcibly pulled France into the European Community, which is equivalent to depriving France of part of its sovereignty!

To ​​put it bluntly, France is now a colony of Germany!

But there are a group of idiots who don’t know that "France has perished" and are willing to follow the Germans to fight, and believe that they are "blonde and blue-eyed Aryan supermen".

Thinking of this, Lieutenant Bernard looked at the navigator Sergeant Pierre Muller beside him with some sympathy - a blond and blue-eyed idiot from Upper Normandy, deceived by "Pan-Aryanism", thinking that he is a descendant of the Franks, a branch of the Germanic people, and joined the disgusting Frank Legion, and willingly fought for the German world empire, which is simply an unforgivable French traitor!

"Lieutenant! Radar detected the target!"

Just when Lieutenant Bernard, a French patriot who was forced to fight for Germany, despised Sergeant Mueller, a French traitor who was willing to fight for Germany, the French traitor Mueller suddenly shouted loudly.

"The radar detected the enemy aircraft, the distance is 150, the number is more than 50, the altitude is 3000, the azimuth is 280, and the direction is due east..."

With the report of Sergeant Mueller, the air in the cabin of the Bv138D long-range seaplane suddenly became tense.

"Can you identify it?" Lieutenant Bernard asked while turning the steering wheel of the aircraft, driving the big and clumsy Bv138D seaplane to dodge. This large aircraft is driven by three 880-horsepower Yumo diesel engines, and the speed is very slow, with a maximum speed of only 264 kilometers per hour. If it hits the large American fleet, it will be dead!

However, the Bv138D seaplane also has a life-saving skill, which is a FuG1000 S-band high-power airborne radar installed on the nose of the aircraft and covered by a fairing.

This airborne radar is a high-performance airborne radar developed by the German Lorenz Company and the British. It is also the world's first S-band early warning radar and the largest airborne radar in the world. It can detect aircraft targets below at a distance of 140 kilometers and large ships on the sea surface at a distance of 360 kilometers.

If it were not for the fact that the Bv138D long-range seaplane has no command and control capabilities - the new generation of Bv138E large seaplane early warning aircraft has such capabilities, but it has not yet been put into use - this large aircraft would be a real early warning aircraft, and now it can only be regarded as an air radar warning aircraft.

However, with its powerful airborne radar, the Bv138D long-range seaplane can still detect enemy aircraft 100 kilometers away and then evade them calmly.

"It's an enemy aircraft!" French traitor Mueller shouted again.

Great! Lieutenant Bernard thought: This time the Germans are finally going to be in trouble!

However, he dared not show this thought that violated the unity of the European Community on his face. If the people above knew that he was a "French patriot", he would immediately lose his well-paid seaplane pilot position.

"Quick, quick, send a telegram!" Bernard pretended to be in a hurry and shouted loudly at the telegraph operator sitting behind him. At the same time, he prayed to the almighty God in his heart: Other damn Germans received this important telegram!

"Sir, Hawkeye No. 10 reported that more than 50 American planes were found over the B2 sea area and were flying towards us!"

While Lieutenant Bernard prayed to God over and over again, Major Hessman Jr. had received a telegram from the Bv138D seaplane he was driving.

Finally here!

In the command center on the "Zeppelin", everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was not a pleasant feeling to wait for the enemy to attack!

"How long will it take them to fly over us?" asked Major General Erich Bei.

"200 kilometers away," said Hessman Jr., "If they still know our location now, they can arrive within 40 minutes... I think the Americans are likely to know our location, because we just recovered the first wave of attack aircraft 30 minutes ago, and these aircraft will expose our approximate location."

The location of the 21st Task Force was discovered by an American B-24 reconnaissance aircraft about 4 and a half hours ago. However, four Fokker 636 fighters then smashed the American B-24 into pieces with a machine gun!

After shooting down the American reconnaissance plane, the 21st Task Force did not perform emergency maneuvers, but only formed an air defense formation and continued to slowly wander around the sea.

One hour and 30 minutes ago, 129 Fw190s and Fokker 636s (9 Fw190s and 2 Fokker 636s did not return) that completed the bombing mission returned. If there were any American long-range reconnaissance planes nearby at that time, the large fleet of more than 100 aircraft would definitely be discovered.

Erich Bay nodded and immediately ordered: "Cancel the second attack wave, all Fokker 636s take off immediately!"

At the command, the five German aircraft carriers on the sea surface began to accelerate at the same time, and one by one, the Fokker 636 fighters that had been ready for departure were lifted onto the deck, and then immediately launched into the sky and began to circle over the 21st Task Force.

At the same time, the radar of an F-13 long-range reconnaissance aircraft hiding above the clouds at an altitude of 6,000 meters also detected the sudden acceleration of the German fleet on the sea.

"Captain, the enemy's fleet is accelerating!"

Captain Davis, the commander of this F-13, is also an experienced veteran. As soon as he heard the report of the navigator/radar operator Sergeant Smith, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Quickly send a telegram to the command center and tell them that the Germans are releasing carrier-based aircraft!"

Just as the telegraph operator Corporal Lawrence was busy operating the radio, the radar operator Smith shouted again: "Captain, a large group of aircraft appeared in the west, 80 meters away, it should be our aircraft!"

"Great, the Germans are in trouble now!" Captain Davis, who was excited, ordered again: "Send a radio signal to guide our aircraft."

"Sir, the enemy aircraft is coming!"

The shouting of little Hersman once again alarmed the officers in the bridge of the "Zeppelin". Everyone raised their binoculars and looked in the direction of little Hersman's finger. I saw more than 100 or nearly 200 twin-engine aircraft appearing under the white clouds in the distance, rushing towards me at a very high speed.

"They fly so fast!"

"What kind of aircraft is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Twin-engine, is it a P61?"

"It doesn't seem to be..."

Because a new type of aircraft that no one had ever seen appeared in the sky, the staff in the command center talked a lot, and Lieutenant General Erich Bei turned his attention to the aviation staff officer, Little Hessman.

Little Hessman also shook his head, and his originally relaxed expression had become very solemn: "It's a new type of aircraft... It's very fast, about 600 kilometers per hour, it should be a heavy fighter-bomber! The engine looks big, and its bomb load must be large!"

More than 200 American F7F "Tiger Cat" fighters are rapidly approaching the 21st Task Force of the European Joint Fleet. They flew from the airport of the Norfolk Naval Base in the United States.

"Haha." Faced with the American twin-engine fighter-bombers that had never been seen before, Lieutenant General Erich Bei was not panicked at all, but sneered a few times.

He knew very well that a powerful country like the United States would not be without a few trump cards. And this twin-engine fighter-bomber is obviously the trump card of the Americans. It may be able to carry 2,000-pound bombs and may be able to damage their three large aircraft carriers.

But isn't this exactly the purpose of the 21st Task Force's attack on the Bermuda Islands? If the Zeppelin, Prussia and Bohemia were not damaged, how could they lure out the main fleet of the Americans?

"Sir, the fight has started!" Little Hessman's voice sounded in Lieutenant General Bei's ears again.

Erich Bei immediately raised his telescope to observe, only to see that hundreds of fighter planes had been strangled together under the clouds, large and small, twin-engine, single-engine, strings of bullets and shells, drawing their own lines in the sea and sky.

Although the new twin-engine aircraft of the Americans flew very fast, the Fokker 636 flew faster than them! And the climbing speed was much faster than them. Therefore, they seized the high altitude before the twin-engine exchange of fire, and more than a hundred fighter planes roared and dived, firing countless 20mm machine gun ammunition. Instantly, the more than 200 F7Fs that formed the formation were scattered, some of which were shot down, and others dropped their bombs to fight with the Fokker 636. However, more than a hundred new American fighters broke through the obstruction of the Fokker 636 and quickly rushed to the four fleet air defense formations with aircraft carriers as the core on the water.

The fight between the sea and the air is about to begin.
