However, after these German reconnaissance planes discovered the British and American aircraft, they fired a few shots sporadically, and immediately turned around and flew away.

And then the British and American troops' SBD fearless dive bombers and TBF Avengers torpedo bombers also rushed over under the escort of P-47 Thunderfighters and other fighter groups.

As soon as they saw the German reconnaissance aircraft group begin to flee, British and American aircraft rushed to chase after him, and also made emergency reports to Hewitt and solicited combat orders.

Hewitt's first reaction to the sudden appearance of the German reconnaissance plane was surprise and surprise.

The second reaction was that the German army should have a fleet lurking in the waters near Sicily, and even the aircraft carrier fleet came, because only the aircraft carrier fleet could send so many water reconnaissance aircraft.

Of course, these German BV-141, FW-189, and A-196 water reconnaissance aircraft may also fly from other air bases, such as the airport in Italy...

After thinking of these possibilities, Hewitt decisively issued an order to chase the British and American aircraft groups that had begun to pursue them to catch up with them to see if the German fleet appeared in the waters near Sicily.

At the same time, Hewitt also summoned the captains of the ships he commanded and came to the battle meeting with the naval staff.

Of course, he also reported this sudden battle situation to Eisenhower and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Alexander and requested combat instructions.

After hearing this explosive news, Eisenhower was instantly relieved. At the same time, he summoned Alexander, Cunningham of the United Kingdom, all the high-level British and American officers, and combat staff to discuss the latest combat modes and how to deal with another aircraft carrier fleet that might appear in the German army.

The German water reconnaissance aircraft group that was being pursued were soon caught up by British and American aircraft and began a fierce fire attack.

After seeing that they could not escape the pursuit, the German reconnaissance aircraft groups also began to fight bravely and immediately asked for help from Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet not far away.

After Denitz received the dangers of these German reconnaissance aircraft groups, with Chen Yanlong's consent, Denitz immediately took off 300 new carrier-based aircraft F-8d carrier-based aircraft to fight.

At the same time, the more than 40 ships he commanded also aimed all anti-aircraft guns and air defense firepower at the sky, preparing to shoot the British and American Airlines team that was hitting the attack.

"At 6 o'clock, the British and American dive bombers are using the cover of intermittent clouds to conduct high-speed dive bombing on us, and all naval guns are shooting immediately!"

In less than ten minutes, the German leader ship issued an emergency combat order.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

With the issuance of combat orders, dozens of ships immediately began to frantically aim at the British and American bombers that were conducting dive bombing to shell and shoot.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A fierce naval battle between lightning began, and at the same time, many British and American dive bombers were destroyed in mid-air; or shot down on the sea, falling into the cold seabed with thick smoke, and never returning.

Of course, these British and American dive bombers dropped bombs from an altitude of 2,500 feet, which also caused a small sea of ​​fire to blow up many German warships on the flight deck, or to blow them into the sea water, causing a raucous sound of sea water and waves.

Of course, there are also some German ship decks, which are also bombed and flames rising. Even the bomb bays, torpedo bays, ammunition depots, and oil tanks on their ships were detonated, turning into an amazing scene of flames soaring into the sky...

However, as these ships were bombed with fire and burning Pilibala, the British and American dive bombers that were still desperately attacking were quickly destroyed and harvested the lives of the pilots.

The British and American fighter fleets that came from behind and reconnaissance aircraft fleets were also fighting with the German new carrier-based aircraft F-8D carrier-based aircraft fleet, and they had to constantly avoid the attacks of German naval guns.

"How could this happen? How could the German army have such a huge aircraft carrier fleet suddenly appear here!"

"God knows! Be careful to fight back. The combat performance of these German ship-based strikes is stronger than that of our fighter fleet! And there are also those densely packed naval gun shooting!"

"I understand! I'm trying hard to hide! Should we evacuate immediately? If we continue like this, I can't stand it anymore, and our bomber group has already lost a lot! If we continue like this, even if we annihilate a few more German warships, we may be almost destroyed here!"

"I want to withdraw too! But I haven't waited for General Hewitt's evacuation order yet! Fight back! Be careful to avoid it and don't be shot down. Once General Hewitt agrees to us to evacuate, we will leave here immediately!"

"I hope God bless me! Oh no! The Germans have carrier-based aircraft taken off on the aircraft carrier again. Can we hold on to General Hewitt's evacuation order?"

"Oh my god! These damn German soldiers, I hope God bless us to live!"

While fighting with the German F-8d carrier-based aircraft group and dozens of ships, many of the British and American airline pilots also started to discuss with concern because they were too scared.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

But as soon as they finished speaking, they immediately heard a large number of fierce fire attacks from naval guns and machine guns, as well as explosions such as British and American planes being exploded and shot down...

These sounds are creepy and resounding through the brighter and brighter sky.

"Hey! Didn't you really expect these British and American airlines to be brave? They saw so many of our ships and carrier-based aircraft groups, and they were rushing over to kill us!"

"But I won't let them succeed, and the planes they come here are not as large as our F-8D carrier-based aircraft fleet! I won't be afraid of them, and let them go!"

When the air battle on the sea started, Chen Yanlong stood in the cab of the Midway aircraft carrier, fierce air battles into the sky, and stared at the group of British and American bombers who were desperately diving towards their aircraft carrier fleet and launching bomb attacks, muttering coldly.

"First of the Year! Our last 100f-8d carrier-based aircraft have also been dispatched. I think if I want Keseling to send a group of fighter aircraft to support us? I am worried that more British and American aircraft may appear and their ships will attack us later!"

Just as Chen Yanlong looked at the coming British and American Airlines teams coldly, Marshal Denitz, who was beside him, suggested worriedly.

"Well! OK, you call Keseling and ask him to send more fighter planes to assist us in the fight! In short, we must destroy more British and American aircraft in this air battle, so that their morale will plummet and their vitality will be greatly reduced. At least they will have no way to launch large-scale naval battles and air battles in a short period of time!"

Chen Yanlong nodded in agreement.

"Yes! Head of State! I'll go right now!"

Dunitz agreed readily.

Not long after, Keseling, who was in Italy, received a call from Denitz and Chen Yanlong's request for air force support.
