Imperial Overlord

: 1169 German planes in New Guinea

"It's my duty!" Colonel Iijima returned the same salute, bowed his head and promised, "We've been training for so long, just for today's battle!"

At this moment, the American fighter pilots have not realized that their opponents have changed.

Early the next morning, the U.S. Army Air Corps pilot was awakened by an air raid siren.

Captain Peter had just climbed into the clouds with his P-40 when he spotted the plane that had already killed him.

Then, he realized the serious problem he was facing: the opponent was not the Japanese Army "Oscar" fighter that resembled the Zero fighter, but a brand new aircraft.

That kind of plane is very dexterous, more than double the dexterity of the P-40. It is like a smart flying swallow in the air, making him unpredictable at all.

The scary thing is that the green Japanese army fighter jet looks very familiar! Captain Peter confirmed the familiar feeling after being kicked off by the other party and biting his tail!

"Commander! Commander! That's an ME-109 fighter! That's a German fighter! Damn it!" Only then shouted to his commander on the radio.

Captain Peter used to go to the UK as a "volunteer" to help the RAF fight. In the Battle of Britain, he shot down a German ME-109 fighter and also shot down a ME-110 fighter.

Coupled with his superior performance on the Pacific battlefield, he is now an ace pilot who has shot down 5 enemy planes.

That's why he was transferred to Australia to be in charge of the air defense mission on the Cape York Peninsula.

It is precisely because of the experience of flying P-40 fighter jets that he fought against the German ME-109E fighter jets, he found the trick to get rid of the opponent in an instant.

In general, German fighter jets have good dive and climb performance, and ME-109 fighter jets have strong circling performance, but experienced German fighter pilots generally do not get caught in a swaying rear-end attack with a P-40 fighter jet. .

German pilots preferred the tactic of diving and then quickly disengaging, using wingman cover to neutralize the enemy trying to pursue them.

So, when Captain Peter swayed his own plane to use a series of maneuvers to get rid of the opponent, the Japanese pilot gave up his pursuit.

After all, consuming the same airborne time and ammunition against other American aircraft will yield more results.

In the sky, more than a dozen American fighter jets have been shot down. This is the first time Japan has won such a clear victory since the battle for air supremacy over the Cape York Peninsula.

You know, in the past ten minutes, only 4 Japanese fighter jets have been shot down, but 13 American fighter jets have been shot down - almost twice the loss of Japan.

The Japanese Army Air Forces, who originally wanted to continue to expand their victory, found that their fuel was not enough, so they could only return home angrily.

The U.S. Army Air Forces, whose alarms have been lifted, are still nervous: the victory they have accumulated before seems to drift away like a mirage with this sudden air battle.

"Captain Peter! Write an engagement manual immediately, summarizing in detail what you should pay attention to when engaging with German fighter jets!" The commander of the Air Force colonel who was guarding the edge of the runway lawn just landed on the airport runway ordered.

The entire airport was busy, and the ground anti-aircraft artillery positions were on standby for first-level combat readiness. All fighter jets were on standby for take-off, and the bomber unit was applying for a transfer to the rear airport.

If the Japanese fighter force on the island of New Guinea cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, the entire landing operation plan must be postponed accordingly.

With the delay of the landing operation, the Japanese Army's preparations on the island of New Guinea will be more comprehensive, and the probability of the successful landing operation will be lower.

Under such circumstances, the U.S. Navy did not dare to easily intervene in the Coral Sea operation, and the support for the U.S. landing force was further weakened.

A series of chain reactions shocked the top leaders of the United States. They also plan to start the New Guinea campaign around October 10th.

But now it seems that this time is a bit too optimistic. The Japanese also had new troops into New Guinea, including even German fighter jets!

"I want the intelligence department to figure out the following things immediately! What I want is exact information! Not speculation! Not speculation! Understand?" Marshall, who was far away in Washington, was furious and ordered to his subordinates.

After hearing about the process of the Cape York Peninsula air battle, he was in a bad mood: "First! Why did German planes appear in New Guinea!"

"Second! Are these planes piloted by Germans~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or are being piloted by Japanese!" He stretched out his second finger and said, staring at the officer in the intelligence department in front of him.

Then, he slowly stretched out his third finger and continued: "The third point! That is the most important point! Are the Germans ready to declare war on us, or are they secretly supporting Japan and delaying our Counterattack!"

"Sir! I think the Germans are secretly supporting Japan and using Japan to hold us back." In the office, an American diplomat said: "Just a day ago, the German diplomatic envoy had just arrived in New York. May declare war on us at a time like this."

It was no secret that Marshall knew that the German envoy had just arrived in New York. But the United States does not dare to take any risks, especially ignoring the risk of Germany's declaration of war on the United States.

The current east coast of the United States, whether New York or Washington, is basically an undefended city - 90% of the air force and about 80% of the navy have been transferred to the Pacific battlefield.

If Germany suddenly attacked New York and other areas at this time, almost half of the coastal industrial cities in the United States would be scrapped.

Because the United States received a report from Turkey, which confirmed that the main fleet of the Axis countries was now fighting in the Black Sea, they dared to transfer all the troops of the Eastern Front to the Pacific battlefield.

But with Germany's successive victories, the top U.S. leaders are not sure how credible Turkey's intelligence is, or whether their intelligence is timely or not.

If German troops do appear in New Guinea, the United States will really have to reconsider the question of whether the deployment of troops on the Eastern Front is sufficient.
