"Three enemy planes, besieging us." The wingman continued to shout.

At this time, the Americans had already reacted. They thought it was a large German aircraft group that killed them. Who knows, there are only two planes in total, so they messed up their own side and lost three fighter jets. This is simply a disgrace to the US Navy!

So, the three nearby fighter jets rushed over immediately, trying to strangle Lieutenant Colonel Lange.

"Climb with me, full speed." Lieutenant Colonel Lange shouted over the radio, he pushed the throttle all the way, and flicked the switch with his fingers.

As he pressed the switch, at his back, in a low-temperature steel cylinder, nitrous oxide gas quickly vaporized and sprayed into the front engine cylinder along the pipeline.

This is another common way for German fighter jets, Nitrogen Acceleration! (In fact, it is nitrous oxide, but the common saying is that nitrogen is accelerated.)

Just like the MiG-25 spraying water in the intake port to stimulate the engine and increase the power, this method of using nitrogen acceleration is more violent and direct. The desire for power is always endless. Although the engine of the FW190 is already quite powerful, it still needs to be stimulated in this way for a short time.

As he started the nitrous oxide to accelerate, the nozzle of the engine sprayed flames directly, the whole engine was roaring hard, and the power in an instant exceeded 2,500 horsepower.

Under the powerful power, the whole aircraft jumped up quickly and climbed rapidly.

As a result, the three American fighter pilots could only look up to see how the fighter plane, which was originally surrounded by them, was soaring into the sky.

Fueled by nitrogen acceleration, the FW190 climbed upwards at a terrifying rate of climb, and even the closest American fighter jets had no chance to aim and shoot, they could only look up and watch the other side disappear into their field of vision.

The two FW190s climbed and were soon invisible in the sky, but, a minute later, the terrifying whistling came from the sky again.

Germany's most common tactic, relying on its terrifying climbing ability, swoops down from the air to attack, and then pulls up again. The opponent can only be beaten and cannot fight back. This kind of scene is the most pleasing to the eye.

Now, Lieutenant Colonel Lange, who was diving down quickly, aimed at an enemy again. With the roar of the nose shaft gun, the fourth fighter was shot down again.

Then came the fifth, the sixth, and when it got to the sixth, Lieutenant Colonel Lang climbed up again, to the curse of the American fighter pilots nearby.

Kind of you come down! Hit and run!

The Americans were incensed, and in the process they, too, kept climbing and climbing, trying in vain to find the trail of the German fighters.

Before you know it, the height has exceeded five kilometers.

The 1200-horsepower engine is roaring. Although the ceiling of the Buffalo fighter exceeds 10,000 meters, its performance is even worse at more than 5,000 meters.

The biggest disadvantage of this fighter is that it is overweight. Because of the overweight, the aircraft is extremely cumbersome, and it has always been hanged and beaten on the battlefield.

If we talk about the advantages, the long range should be counted as one, and its maximum range has reached 2,700 kilometers.

At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the fighter pilots of the U.S. Navy were concentrating on searching for the two disappearing targets. Their heads were constantly looking at the sky. The Germans always liked to dive down from high altitudes.

At the same time, they are constantly changing directions. In battle, maintaining a straight flight for thirty seconds means death, which is definitely a truth.

"Tom tom, tom tom!" When the cannon sounded again, the pilot who was hit was shocked. The cannon sound came from below. When did the Germans fly under their own side?

Unfortunately, no one has answered his question. With the sound of the cannon, his plane was smashed into two pieces from the air, and it tumbled and fell down.

Seventh!

The naval battle over the Atlantic Ocean, under the attack of Lieutenant Colonel Lange and his wingman, officially kicked off. A tragic naval and air battle was being staged, and at this time, in the White House, a debate also entered a white-hot. stage.

"Haven't we made a plan to put our main force after the Germans landed?" Arnold looked at all the senior officials present, very disappointed and angry: "Now? How to become the main force of the naval aviation force? , are they all dispatched?"

In the past, after Arnold's strong persuasion, finally, even President Roosevelt agreed to give up Greenland, which could not be defended, and then sneak attack when the other party returned to try to defeat the German aircraft carrier formation.

If you want to hit the German Navy hard, you must have a huge fleet.

In Arnold's plan, the bombers of the Army Air Corps alone are not enough, and the Army's P-51s are not enough, and the Navy must be added.

Although the navy's aircraft carrier has not yet been seen, the navy has trained a large number of naval airmen and a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots, just waiting for the aircraft carrier.

Who would have thought that now, the navy actually made its own decision, and took off almost all the fleet from the German fleet three hundred nautical miles away from Greenland, and ran over to intercept it.

This made Arnold very angry.

At the beginning, his proposal was considered a refutation of Nimitz's suggestion. Nimitz could have an opinion, but now, the battle has started, but Arnold is absolutely unacceptable.

This is no longer a contradiction between the army and the navy, it is simply a terrible act of treason!

"Arnold, please don't be angry," said Admiral Ernest Joseph King.

When it comes to the U.S. Navy, Nimitz is the one that attracts the most attention. In fact, on Nimitz's head, there is also Admiral Kim, a fake five-star admiral.

Admiral Kim's positions are Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, Chief of Naval Operations, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a member of the Anglo-American Joint Command. (At this time, the United States, of course, continued to recognize the British government-in-exile.)

Due to the complexity of the military establishment during the war, the US Navy nominally combined the Atlantic Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to form the "US Fleet" during World War II. During the war, he participated in the formulation of the U.S. Navy's operational plan, and mainly coordinated and commanded the U.S. military operations in the Pacific War. Moreover, he also personally served as the commander of the US Atlantic Fleet, responsible for Atlantic operations.

Compared to Nimitz, who commanded the Pacific battlefield, Admiral Kim was the actual person in charge of the naval aspect of the operation.
