When the German Navy's shore-based aircraft attacked the U.S. Navy's main battleship formation, the three major fleets of aircraft carrier formations never gave up searching for the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier formations.

The reason why the task of attacking the U.S. Navy's main battleship formation was to complete the shore-based aircraft on the Azores was to have enough strength when attacking the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

However, if you want to attack the US Navy's helping formation, you must find it. Only by determining the location of the US aircraft carrier can you launch an attack. Otherwise, even if you have a large fleet of carrier-based aircraft and strong strength, it will be futile.

Marshal Lütjens got up after less than four hours of sleep when the local fleet's flagship "Poseidon" was sailing.

"How is the situation?" asked Marshal Lütjens after entering the war room.

"Marson Marshal, our shore-based aircraft are currently attacking the American main ship formation. The American warships have strong air defense firepower, and our shore-based aircraft have suffered considerable losses. However, as more and more American warships are killed by us, their air defense firepower will soon become weaker. At that time, our shore-based aircraft will launch a siege on the American main ships and will definitely sink theirs." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel reported.

Marshal Lütjens nodded. When the German aircraft carriers had already shown extremely strong strength in naval battles, it was understandable that the warships of the US Navy strengthened their air defense firepower. However, in the face of the overwhelming attacks of aircraft, it is undoubtedly very difficult to withstand the air defense firepower of the warships alone.

"How many fighter jets are planned to be deployed on the Azores to launch an attack?" Marshal Lütjens asked.

"At present, they have dispatched three batches of aircraft, with a total of 600. This is half of the fighter jets, dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft on the archipelago." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel replied.

Marshal Lütjens thought for a while, and said, "Order the bases on the Azores to dispatch fighter jets to attack the American battleship formation. If the fighter jets on the western and central islands are not enough, they will mobilize from the eastern islands. Our carrier-based aircraft will focus on the American aircraft carriers. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft will not be dispatched to attack the American battleship formation. At least, before severely damaging or defeating the American aircraft carrier formation, the carrier-based aircraft will not be used to attack the American battleship formation. Therefore, the important task of sinking the American battleships fell on the heads of the shore-based aircraft. Let them not worry about losses, and all losses will be compensated from the country. As long as the American capital ships are killed, then the various bases on the Azores can be considered truly safe."

The main battleships of the US Navy are undoubtedly a great threat to the bases on the Azores. Just like they approach at night and fight and run away, they can't deal with the bases on the archipelago alone. If they can kill all the main battleships of the US fleet, the bases on the Azores will be exempted from this threat.

"Yes, Commander." Lieutenant General Carl Witzel nodded. He immediately arranged a seaplane to inform the Azores. When the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation was not discovered, the German Navy's aircraft carrier formation was still in radio silence. They must ensure that their position was not discovered by the Americans as much as possible, and then they can launch an attack first and strive to severely damage the US Navy at the lowest cost.

On the Atlantic Ocean, a German Navy light cruiser was cruising in this area. This area is 500 kilometers away from the Azores. The mission of this light cruiser is to search for the location of the US Navy's aircraft carrier.

There are still many German ships that perform the same mission as this light cruiser. However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find the location of the US Navy's aircraft carrier in the vast sea.

You should know that in addition to these warships, the German fleet also took off a lot of seaplanes, and even carrier-based aircraft to act as reconnaissance aircraft. But to this day, no discovery has been made.

At the top of the mast of the light cruiser, an air-to-air search radar is spinning.

Suddenly, some light spots appeared on the radar screen.

"Sir, the radar has been discovered." The radar soldier reported.

"Is that an American fighter jet?" asked the radar officer.

"Sir, these aircraft may be American carrier-based aircraft. Didn't the base in the Azores before report that the Americans dispatched a group of carrier-based aircraft to provide air defense protection for the Americans' main fleet, but were they defeated by the fighter jets that took off on the Azores?"

"Maybe it is really an American carrier-based aircraft. Pay attention to using radar to track these American carrier-based aircraft to see where they landed. In that case, you can find the location of the American aircraft carrier." said the radar officer.

The US carrier-based aircraft group was the f4u fighter that was defeated by the German Navy's FW-190 fighter jets. The 72 f4u fighter jets that were originally dispatched lost more than fifty. The remaining 18 f4u fighter jets also retreated early when the plane was not good. Otherwise, waiting for their final result would probably be the only way to be shot down.

However, these US F4U fighters did not know that they had been discovered and tracked by the German radar.

The air battles they experienced before had a great impact on them. After replacing the f4u fighter, they once thought that the f4u fighter's performance was already very powerful and could definitely be called the most powerful fighter in the world. However, compared with the fw-190 fighter of the German Navy, the performance of the f4u fighter still has a considerable gap. In addition, the quality of the pilots made them lose a crushing defeat in this air battle. Of course, if these aircraft could survive this battle, as pilots of the German Navy, they would become treasures of carrier-based aircraft pilots of the US Navy. Their experience may be able to greatly promote the improvement of the quality of other carrier-based aircraft pilots of the US Navy.

"Sir, the American plane has begun to descend on the altitude and has disappeared from the radar screen." The radar trooper reported.

"It seems that the location of the American aircraft carrier is about 150 kilometers northwest of us!" said the radar officer.
