"My God! There are so many planes? What should we do?" Admiral Henry Mayo couldn't help exclaiming after seeing the carrier-based planes of the second wave of the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet.

The carrier-based aircraft of the previous wave only sank two of their battleships. However, several battleships were damaged, some seriously. Now, with so many carrier-based aircrafts coming again, it's all about driving them to a dead end!

"General, what should we do?" Lieutenant General Henry Wilson panicked. Right now, he is completely bewildered and doesn't know what to do.

Admiral Henry Mayo closed his eyes in pain: "May God bless us!"

Indeed, the current US fleet is powerless, they can only pin their hopes on the illusory God, and hope that God can bless them. Apart from the apparition of God, there is no other way for the current US fleet.

It is foreseeable that the second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy will once again cause them great casualties. Immediately afterwards, the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy, which has been following them, will take the opportunity to beat the dogs in the water, and sink all those American warships that escaped the air strikes by chance, or that were severely damaged but could not be sunk. This time, not only did they have no chance of winning, there was even a great possibility that they would be wiped out here. Such a price was too great for them, completely beyond their expectations.

Before the war started, Admiral Henry Mayo had deduced the battle. The best result, of course, is that the U.S. fleet defeats the German navy and wins, allowing the U.S. to completely occupy the Azores. And the worst result was nothing more than their failure, and the Azores were re-occupied by Germany. However, even in the worst case, the US fleet will not be completely wiped out!

In other words, Admiral Henry Mayo never expected that the German Navy would use aircraft carriers in this battle. And depending on the scale of the carrier-based aircraft that take off, there are still a lot of aircraft carriers used. Therefore, the U.S. fleet will be defeated in this battle.

The second wave of carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy ignored the thoughts of these Americans, and they directly launched an attack. Also, the focus was on attacking those American battleships that were intact. The purpose this time is to wipe out the US fleet, at least the capital ships of the US fleet. Therefore, it is best to sink or severely damage those battleships that are intact first. Those damaged battleships will naturally be dealt with by other naval forces.

"Da da da!"

The aviation machine guns of the fighter jets fired wildly. Like Haiyan in the storm, they shuttled through the air defense firepower network of the US warship. It looked very thrilling. Dangerously avoided.

U.S. sailors, who have no experience in air defense operations, manipulated anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns to chase those fighter jets. However, this has achieved little success. On the contrary, their air defense firepower network was torn to pieces. The German bombers and torpedo planes took the opportunity to launch an attack, dropping bombs or torpedoes on the US warships.

"God! Bomb, quickly evade!" A US sailor shouted in horror.

Four aviation armor-piercing bombs formed a parabola and smashed into the US battleship 'California'.

"Boom!"

Two bombs fell into the sea, splashing a jet of water into the sky. However, the other two bombs hit the battleship 'California'. A bomb blew a hole in the front deck of the battleship California and set it ablaze. The other bomb blew up two adjacent anti-aircraft artillery positions, causing a bloodbath among the US sailors.

The torpedo planes of the German army often acted together with the bombers. When the enemy's warships avoided the bombs falling from the sky, they also gave the torpedo planes the best chance to play.

Four torpedo planes dropped torpedoes less than 800 meters away from the battleship "California". Four 450mm medium torpedoes rushed towards the battleship 'California' quickly.

In the end, although the four torpedoes only scored two hits. But the battleship "California" was still severely damaged.

Next, other carrier-based aircraft discovered this opportunity and immediately launched a siege on the battleship 'California'. The "California" battleship, which had already been severely damaged, had no way to avoid the siege of the German carrier-based aircraft. Soon, it was sunk because it was too severely damaged.

"General, the 'California' was sunk!" A staff officer reported to Admiral Henry Mayo.

"I see!" General Henry Mayo said.

Indeed, he has no other way to do this, so he can only watch his battleships being sunk. You know, now he is almost unable to protect himself.

As the flagship of the battleship 'Colorado', it is naturally also the focus of attack by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft. It's just that their luck seemed to be better before, and they didn't suffer too much damage. But this time, their luck seems to have run out.

Eight torpedo planes rushed towards them from the port side of the battleship "Colorado".

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Although the anti-aircraft guns and secondary guns on the battleship fired at full strength, trying to destroy these torpedo planes before they dropped their bombs.

However, this is undoubtedly very difficult.

A torpedo plane was hit by an anti-aircraft shell when it was about to drop a bomb. The entire nose was smashed, and the pilot was killed instantly. The plane lost control and fell **** the sea, fragmented.

The American sailors couldn't help cheering.

However, this does not mean that the crisis of the battleship "Colorado" is resolved. The other seven torpedo planes were still approaching at high speed.

Less than 600 meters away from the battleship "Colorado", seven torpedo planes dropped torpedoes, then quickly pulled up and fled the battlefield. However, what they brought to the battleship 'Colorado' was disaster.

"My God! Seven torpedoes."

"It's over, we're over! We're going to be sunk, run away!"

The U.S. sailors on the battleship 'Colorado' all turned pale from fright. Some sailors even jumped into the sea directly, trying to escape here.
