Imperial Overlord

What Dudley Pound didn't know was that the German pilots were able to achieve such great results thanks to their hard training, and of course their outstanding talent, but also to the weapons in their hands. . fastest update

These German naval aviation pilots are all selected from thousands of elites, selected from among the ace pilots of the German Air Force.

Before coming to the Navy, they were either quasi-ace pilots who had soared in the sky and shot down at least three enemy planes, or veteran bombers who had performed ground-to-ground missions and blew up ground targets.

In the one month since they came to the Navy, they have undergone countless take-off and landing and patrolling devil training, and they have to fly for more than 4 hours a day.

After such rigorous training, these already experienced and nimble elites can naturally quickly master the know-how of attacking targets at sea.

Although they had little actual combat experience and did not perform many missions at sea, their attack power was infinitely amplified by the weapons in their hands.

The performance of the carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation of various countries is slightly worse than that of the army aircraft. This is related to the performance indicators that aircraft carrier take-off and landing also pay attention to.

However, the German carrier-based aircraft were converted from army aircraft. In terms of performance, they have already crushed most of the naval aircraft.

Strictly speaking, neither the -190t nor the ju-87 are the best carrier-based aircraft, but they are undoubtedly the most suitable carrier-based aircraft for German pilots.

In terms of powerful performance, including flight altitude and flight speed, as well as parameters such as roll, climb, dive, etc., the German aircraft far surpassed its opponents, and of course, it was twice the result with half the effort in the battle.

The British Navy, which has only seen its own Swordfish attack aircraft, is of course unable to adapt to the performance pressure brought by the German Air Force's high-tech aircraft, and naturally it is easily defeated.

Above the sky, on the Royal Navy's Swordfish attack aircraft, three pilots are chatting through the intercom.

Because of the open cockpit, their heads are exposed to the air. The three of them opened their mouths wide in the wind to talk about the mountains, and the careful roaring of the lungs felt quite good.

It has to be said that competition is really a good thing. If there is no competition, human beings will really lose the power to develop and surpass!

In the competitive Pacific, Japan developed an excellent Zero fighter, and the United States then began mass production of the more advanced 4 and 6 fighters.

In the entire Pacific battlefield, the sea and air battle was a thrilling battle. The aircraft carrier-based aircraft contest between the two countries was also intertwined into the most spectacular naval battle in human history.

On the other hand, in the Atlantic Ocean, because the German Navy has no carrier-based aircraft, nor the ability to fight the British Navy on the sea.

Therefore, the British's carrier-based aircraft has been lagging behind the entire era of the double-winged swordfish, which has been used for 42 years in one breath.

It can only be said that the lack of a real opponent made the Royal Navy of the British Empire slack. The technical and tactical fall of the British Navy's aircraft carrier is due to the fact that there are too few surface ships in the German Navy and the combat effectiveness is too pitted.

In 40 years, the Swordfish attack aircraft has actually become outdated. That is to bully the real history. The anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship Bismarck is really weak. If you replace it with an American or Japanese battleship, maybe a few Swordfish, it is not enough for the ship-borne anti-aircraft cannons.

The two swordfish flew one after the other in the clouds like cotton candy. Because there was an extra member on board, the plane seemed more lively.

The pilot sitting at the front turned his head, pointed to the direction of flight ahead and shouted, "Is the route right? The distance is almost there!"

According to the route and speed of the German fleet provided by the British cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk, they are almost close to the German fleet.

"The route is right! I didn't see the problem on the chart!" The navigator and electromechanical operator sitting in the second position shouted to the pilot.

They all wore thick leather hats, which was the highest altitude the Swordfish could fly.

Going up a little, not only the engine can't keep up, but even those sitting in the driving position can't stand it because of the cold air.

The pilots were ordered to fly their planes and search for the location of the German fleet. After dispatching them, the British fleet already knew of the existence of an aircraft carrier within the German fleet.

Even so, the naval airmen of the Royal Navy decided to carry out the mission. Because they haven't seen German carrier-based aircraft, they don't know what these German carrier-based aircraft look like.

At an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, the two German-190t fighter jets responsible for the fleet's air defense had easily found the target at their feet.

The -190t fighter with a closed cockpit, equipped with two 13mm caliber machine guns and two 20mm caliber cannons, completely surpasses all the British Navy's carrier-based aircraft in firepower.

Although the -190t is still insufficient in terms of range, its performance advantages in other aspects simply crush any opponent.

Compared with the zero-type, the king of Japanese carrier-based aircraft, which was equipped with troops a year later, the -190t fighter has an absolute advantage in most of the performance except the range.

Not to mention the current 1940s! It is invincible on the Atlantic Ocean! It was too late to say that, after the two German fighter jets found their opponents, they rushed down into the sky impatiently.

As if two eagles rushed towards their target, with the whistling sound of their engines, the speed of these two German fighter jets approaching the target was close to 650 kilometers per hour!

The limit speed of the Swordfish attack aircraft is only a pitiful 200 kilometers. If it is slightly exaggerated, it can be said that the speed of the -190 fighter in the diving limit state is three times that of the Swordfish...

Anyone who is familiar with air combat knows how big the gap is when the speed gap has tripled. This is not the modern age that relies on electronic technology and stealth technology to measure fighter technology, but the World War II that only relies on traditional flight performance such as speed and climb!

The self-defense machine gun operator on the Swordfish attack plane saw the German plane rushing towards it like an arrow from a string within a second.

As soon as he had time to unbolt his gun, he aimed his machine gun at the German aircraft in the distance, and the two German aircraft opened fire.

The rolling firepower composed of two 13mm machine guns on the front and two 20mm caliber cannons suppressed the slender self-defense machine gun on the Swordfish in an instant.

The tracer bullet easily penetrated the Swordfish's aircraft skin, leaving dense bullet holes in it.

The Swordfish pilot at the forefront felt that his plane was out of control before he realized what was wrong.

With the deafening roar of the engines, two -190t fighter jets whizzed past, and the two Swordfish attack aircraft had broken into several pieces in the sky.

Before they could send back any useful information or make a parachute jump, the two swordfish disintegrated in the air.

To be honest, the old design of the Swordfish attack aircraft simply cannot compete with the powerful destruction capability of the German 20mm caliber cannon.

6 British pilots, except for one who fell into the sea with the wreckage of the plane, the remaining 5 people were killed on the spot.

For German pilots, there is nothing to be proud of with such a record. At their level, using the planes of World War II to fight World War I, there is no thrill of victory at all.

Because of the radar search, the German fleet found the incoming British aircraft more than 100 kilometers away. Because two British planes were flying in the wrong direction, only two German planes took off to intercept.

Hines was the first generation German Navy carrier-based aircraft commander trained by the Führer himself, and he was convinced of the Führer's intelligence.

Before departure, the head of state once told him with certainty that in this era, three and five British Navy carrier-based aircraft attacked, and two -190t were enough to deal with it!

At this moment, he was even more certain of this statement. The radar showed that except for the two returning -190t, there were no enemy aircraft alive in the nearby waters.

"General Lütjens... I think, now you must begin to believe the Fuhrer's series of prophecies about future naval battles?" Turning around, Hines smiled and asked the fleet commander who had nothing to say. Lutjens.

Now, Lütjens, whose sense of powerlessness has outweighed the pressure, is really unwilling to say anything. How can this be? How could there be such a war?

At dawn today, the carrier-based aircraft on the USS Zeppelin began to get busy, first injuring the cruiser USS Norfolk, and then directly sinking the cruiser USS Suffolk.

A huge naval fleet had no chance to fire at all except that Prinz Eugen picked up a cheap one and sank the half-dead Norfolk.

However, now the German Navy has sunk two cruisers and shot down two enemy reconnaissance planes!

Not only that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His fleet also successfully got rid of the enemy's tracking, whether it is going southward from the south of Iceland into the Atlantic Ocean, or continuing to go northwards around the Denmark Strait, the initiative has been firmly grasped. in his hands.

It seems that as long as Lütjens is willing, he can rush south to the British line of defense, sink the fleet that intercepts him, and enter the Atlantic Ocean calmly.

"Continue to maintain the route! In any case, avoiding the British shore-based patrol aircraft is a good thing." After weighing it, Lütjens was not carried away by the victory. He still prudently chose the safest route.

"The torpedo is being repaired, and the problem just now is really depressing." Hines continued: "Since there will be no trouble in the next short time, I will arrange for the pilots to take turns to rest."

"Thank them for me... If we succeed this time, they will undoubtedly become the pride of the German Navy!" Lütjens glanced at Hines, who was about to walk out of the bridge, and praised -

Live up to expectations! Tenth! Long Ling has done his best today, I hope everyone likes this Empire Overlord! thank you all!
