"General, a request for help from the British Air Force. The Royal Air Force is almost unable to hold on during the air battle on Cape Breton Island. From 7:45 in the morning to now, it is only an hour, and they have lost more than 300 combat aircraft. The remaining more than 300 combat aircraft were also driven by the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and Navy." Lieutenant General Delos Emmons, commander of combat forces of the US Army Air Forces, said.
Admiral Henry Arnold nodded: "Are our troops ready?"
"General, the 1st Air Force and the 2nd Air Force have completed their preparations and are ready to take off to face the Germans at any time. However, the Luftwaffe and Navy carrier-based aircraft units are very powerful. Most of our pilots are not Experience in actual combat. Participating in such an air battle, I am afraid the chances of winning are not great." Lieutenant General Delos Emmons was a little worried.
The size of the U.S. Army Air Forces is indeed huge. And it is still expanding rapidly. But again, many pilots are just recruits who have just joined the army. Even though he had undergone systematic training, he hadn't experienced the test of a real battle after all. Once on the battlefield, in front of the Luftwaffe and Navy carrier-based aircraft units, they will definitely be like weak sheep, allowing the Luftwaffe and Navy carrier-based aircraft units to slaughter them.
"General Emmons, I know that sending troops to participate in air combat will cost us dearly. However, we cannot sit back and watch the Royal Air Force fail. Once the Royal Air Force is completely lost, we will have to face it alone." For the Germans. At that time, our pressure will be even greater. What's more, the German army is now storming Cape Breton Island. The British are already at a disadvantage. If we don't hold back the German Air Force and Navy carrier-based aircraft forces for them, They will break down quickly. By then, once the Germans take Cape Breton Island. Then they are only one step away from landing on Nova Scotia. Once the Germans sweep Nova Scotia, they We can even use it as a base to bomb our hinterland. Such a result is definitely not what we want to see. Therefore, we must join hands with the British and try our best to resist the German attack." Henry Arnold said the admiral.
Lieutenant General Delos Emmons nodded. Once the Germans occupy the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it will indeed be very dangerous.
"General, the current situation is that even if we take action, I am afraid that we will not be able to prevent the Germans from capturing Cape Breton Island. According to the information we have obtained, the British defenders on the island are vulnerable. In addition, the Germans invested in a new fighter jet in the air battle. Compared with the FW-190 fighter jet equipped by the Luftwaffe, this new fighter jet has more powerful performance." Delos Emmons The lieutenant general was worried.
Admiral Henry Arnold also frowned tightly. The Germans' advantages in aircraft are too great. Even though the United States has stepped up its research and development, it still falls behind. P-51 fighter jets and P-47 fighter jets are already the best works of the American aviation industry in terms of propeller fighter jets. But still can't compare with the Germans. This puts the United States at a complete disadvantage in the battle.
"No matter what, no matter how strong the Germans are, we must launch an attack. Let the 1st Air Force and the 2nd Air Force be dispatched!" Admiral Henry Arnold ordered.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General Delos Emmons nodded.
"Although the Germans have a great advantage, we don't have no advantages at all. At least, the number of planes we can dispatch is much larger than the number of planes the Germans have in North America. Even if it is If we fight for consumption, the advantage is also on our side. Therefore, even if we fight for huge casualties, we will still win!" Admiral Henry Arnold said.
Although, such a victory will be at the expense of huge casualties. But Admiral Henry Arnold knew they had no other choice.
Now that the Germans have established a firm foothold in North America, and even started to press every step of the way, do they have other options besides desperately?
"Yes, General, I understand." Lieutenant General Delos Emmons replied.
"Next, transfer troops from the south to the north to prepare to support the battle in the north. Our battle with the Germans has just begun." Admiral Henry Arnold said.
Before, Germany made the appearance of attacking the Caribbean Sea, which made the U.S. Army have to find a way to reinforce the Caribbean Sea. Even the U.S. Army Air Corps has sent a lot of reinforcements. Now, now that the real attack direction of the Germans has been discovered, those troops will naturally have to be withdrawn again.
"Yes, General. We have begun transitioning troops deployed in the South and the Caribbean."
The U.S. Army Air Forces joined the fray with the RAF on the verge of defeat. The 1st Air Force and the 2nd Air Force of the U.S. Army Air Forces respectively dispatched more than two hundred P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets to join the battle.
With such a large fleet, the German Navy and Air Force had to send more fighters to fight.
Although the German navy and air force had an advantage in the previous air battles, they shot down a large number of Royal Air Force fighters at a relatively small cost. However, after the U.S. Army Air Force joined the battle, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and Navy also felt tremendous pressure.
You know, the size of the U.S. Army Air Force is much larger than that of the British Royal Air Force. An air force of the Royal Air Force is actually only the size of an air wing. The U.S. Army Air Force learned from the German Air Force in terms of organization, but the name is different. The air group under the U.S. Army Air Forces is actually the same as the air group of the German Air Force.
Therefore, after the U.S. Army Air Force did not hesitate to lose and joined this air battle, the losses of the German Air Force and Navy's carrier-based aircraft units also began to rise continuously.
Though, for every Luftwaffe and Navy fighter shot down, more USAAF and RAF fighters were shot down. But if the consumption continues like this, the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Luftwaffe and Navy will soon be overwhelmed. After all, their replenishment is relatively more troublesome than that of the US Army Air Force.
