"General, the 'New Hampshire' is probably about to be unable to hold on!" Major General Covell looked worried.

Admiral Hasborne Kimmel nodded: "Almost all the escort warships of the 'New Hampshire' were sunk. The Germans gathered a large number of fighter jets to siege them. This time, they are probably in great danger."

"General, can we send out some escort warships to reinforce the 'New Hampshire'?" Major General Covell suggested. Obviously, if there were no reinforcements, the 'New Hampshire' battleship would definitely be done.

Admiral Hasborne Kimmel hesitated for a moment. Before he made a choice, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

"General, the air search radar found that a large number of aircraft fleets appeared in the east, with more than 200 aircraft!" a staff officer reported.

Admiral Hasborne Kimmel's face suddenly became even more ugly. There is no doubt that the Germans once again dispatched a large number of fighter jets to attack them. The fighter jets dispatched by the German army had already caused heavy losses to the US fleet. Although the main battleship had not been sunk, the battleship "New Hampshire" was in danger. Now, the Germans have dispatched more than 200 fighter jets to attack them. This is undoubtedly determined to capture them all in one place!

"General, how can we?" Major General Covell's face also changed drastically.

Although the German planes were still more than 200 kilometers away, it only took more than half an hour to arrive at the battlefield. The US fleet could only sail at most twenty or thirty kilometers within more than half an hour.

"Order the fleet and prepare for air defense!" General Hasborne Kimmel ordered.

This is the only choice they can make. As for whether they will send warships to reinforce the battleship "New Hampshire", no one has mentioned it again.

When even one cannot protect oneself, naturally no one will care about anything else.

"Boom! Boom!"

The explosion sounded on the battleship "New Hampshire". German dive bombers continued to dive from high altitude, smashing heavy aerial armor-piercing bombs on the huge battleship.

Flames spread on the battleship "New Hampshire", and thick smoke reported the entire battleship inside. This even affected the bomb drops of German dive bombers.

Four torpedo attack aircraft approached the battleship "New Hampshire" from the side. They dropped torpedoes .533 mm heavy torpedoes from the battleship and rushed towards the battleship "New Hampshire" at a high speed.

"Torpedo, evade!"

The sailors on the battleship "New Hampshire" shouted in horror.

In order to avoid these torpedoes, the battleship "New Hampshire" dragged its severely damaged hull and began to turn, wanting to avoid the torpedo. However, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the huge hull to complete the steering in a short period of time.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Some sailors even used anti-aircraft guns to shoot at the sea in the hope of destroying the torpedoes and protecting the warships. However, this was still futile.

"Boom! Boom!"

Among the four torpedoes, two hit the side of the battleship "New Hampshire". A violent explosion broke open the underwater armor of the battleship "New Hampshire".

With continuous torpedo hits, the damage managers on the battleship "New Hampshire" could not control these losses even if they tried their best.

When there is no way, the watertight compartment has to be closed and the seawater fills all the compartments.

"Boom! Boom!" The aviation bomb exploded in the hull of the 'New Hampshire' battleship, and torpedoes kept hitting the side of the battleship. The huge battleship's injuries continued to aggravate during the attack of German aircraft.

But even so, the American sailors on the warship had not given up. They did not give up saving their warships, nor did they give up counterattacks, and were still using the air defense firepower on the warships to fire at the German planes.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

A torpedo attack aircraft was preparing to launch an attack on the battleship "New Hampshire", but before it could drop the torpedo, it was hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire. The torpedo attack aircraft disintegrated directly during the explosion. The pilot was even killed on the spot.

However, although the American sailors were very brave, they could not save the fate of the battleship "New Hampshire".

Before the third batch of German planes arrived, the German fighter jets finally sank the battleship "New Hampshire".

After being hit by 17 heavy torpedoes and 38 heavy aviation armor-piercing bombs, even the huge warship with a displacement of more than 70,000 tons could not hold on.

It can be said that after being hit by so many torpedoes and bombs, the hull of the battleship "New Hampshire" was already full of holes. There was even more sea water entering the warship hull, making this battleship no longer able to float on the sea.

As the warship continued to sink, the sea water even flooded the deck of the warship.

Under such circumstances, the captain of the battleship "New Hampshire" issued an order to abandon the ship.

However, it is obviously impossible to take away nearly 3,000 naval officers and soldiers from the warships with just a few lifeboats. Except for a very few lucky people who can board the lifeboat, the rest of them can only find ways themselves. Perhaps, they will be rescued after the end of this naval battle. But it is very difficult to say whether they can persevere until that time.

"Beautiful job, we sank an American 'Montana-class' battleship. There are also bombs and torpedo aircraft to attack the other US warships. The third group of aircraft is about to arrive, and we must expand the results as much as possible!" The German aircraft fleet commander ordered.

"Attack, kill these Americans!" The German pilots roared excitedly.

This is the "Montana-class" battleship, known as the world's most powerful battleship! But now it is still sunk by them. This undoubtedly makes these German pilots very excited and proud.

The sinking of the battleship "New Hampshire" was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the officers and soldiers of the US fleet. However, they had no time to grieve now. Because the battle continued. The third group of German Navy aircraft arrived again. This was also a fleet of more than 200 fighter jets. These aircraft also took off from the airport on the central island of the Azores. If the officers and soldiers of the US fleet wanted to survive, they had to withstand the attack of these German aircraft. Otherwise, they would have to die.
