Jagged Germany

  The air battle on Cape Breton Island on November 30 lasted until the sun went down. The British Royal Air Force, the U.S. Army Air Forces 1st Air Force and 2nd Air Force, as well as the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and German Navy, all participated in the battle with losses and were exhausted.

   Almost every pilot who survived fought in two or more battles. It can be seen how large the scale of this air battle is and how tragic the battle is.

   Of course, in this battle, the number of aircraft lost was also very large. After this battle, the Royal Air Force almost existed in name only. They lost over five hundred fighters throughout the day. The number of remaining fighter jets in the entire Royal Air Force is less than two hundred.

  The 1st Air Force and 2nd Air Force of the U.S. Army Air Forces, which entered the war later, also suffered heavy losses. The fighter units of the two air teams add up to more than 700 aircraft. But after this battle, there are less than a hundred fighters that can continue to fight.

  Similarly, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy also lost more than 200 fighter jets in this battle. This battle loss may be much less than that of the British Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Force. But don't forget that the number of fighter jets of the German Air Force and Navy in Newfoundland and the nearby waters was not much.

  The U.S. Army Air Force can also continuously dispatch aircraft from across the country to go north for reinforcements, while the German Air Force and Navy are limited by the number of airports and aircraft carriers, and the number of fighter jets is very limited. If you want to add it, you have to travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. In comparison, it is natural that the U.S. Army Air Forces and the Royal Air Force have the upper hand.

   Fortunately, in today's air battle, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and Navy successfully held back the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Force, creating favorable conditions for the German Marine Corps to attack.

  The three divisions of the German Marine Corps successfully completed the scheduled combat objectives, defeated the British Army, and occupied New Waterford, Port Morion and Fort Lewis.

  Beginning on the night of November 30, the 1st Army of the German Army began to land on Cape Breton Island. Armored units and heavy artillery units all disembarked through Port Morion. In this case, the speed of the troops going ashore was greatly accelerated.

   Next, as long as the Air Force and Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces can continue to withstand the attacks of the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Forces, air supremacy is ensured. The German Army and Marine Corps were able to continue their offensive, sweeping the British Army on the island and occupying the entirety of Cape Breton Island.

  Once the German Army captures Cape Breton Island, it can build more airports on the island and deploy more German Air Force fighters to further strengthen the German Air Force's power in this airspace. It would be completely impossible for the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Forces to wrest air supremacy from the Luftwaffe.

"Gentlemen, tonight, the 1st Army of the Imperial Army will start landing. The 1st Armored Division, the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 12th Mechanized Infantry Division will all land tonight. Tomorrow morning, the Army will be able to cooperate with the Marine Corps. Sydney is on the offensive and has a decisive battle with the British. I hope that in the next two to three days, we can still secure air supremacy on Cape Breton Island. If not provide air support for the Army and Marine Corps, at least we can Make sure they are not bombed by the British and the Americans!" Marshal Bromberg said.

"Your Excellency Marshal, we have suffered a lot in today's battle. Although the British and Americans have suffered greater losses than us. However, they will definitely launch a larger-scale attack. Therefore, the scale of the air battle tomorrow may be even greater ” Said Admiral Ulrich Gerauert, commander of the 1st Aviation Group.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. The British and Americans suffered a big loss in today's air battle, and they will definitely not swallow this breath." Lieutenant General Hans, commander of the aircraft carrier formation of the local fleet, also said.

  Marshal Bromberg nodded: "But tomorrow and the next battle are very important. I hope that the Air Force and Navy's carrier-based aircraft units can do their best."

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal." Admiral Ulrich Gerauert and Lieutenant General Hans both replied.

  After the meeting, Admiral Ulrich Grauert, as well as the commanders of the aircraft carrier formations of several fleets of the Navy, sent telegrams to the country, requesting that the country send reinforcements to Newfoundland starting tomorrow. They all know very well that once they start fighting with the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Force for consumption, their replenishment must be timely. Otherwise, once the replenishment is not timely, it may fall into a disadvantage and be suppressed by the US Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force.

  Similarly, General Henry Arnold, the commander of the U.S. Army Air Corps, was also ashen-faced after receiving the loss reports of the 1st Air Force and the 2nd Air Force.

"General, in the air battle with the Germans, our losses are too great. If we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to suppress them at all. On the contrary, the losses will increase. We must think of other ways. ” Lieutenant General Delos Emmons said.

   "Do you have any suggestions?" General Henry Arnold asked.

"General, I have to admit that the German Air Force and Navy have very strong fighter jets, and the quality of their pilots is also higher than ours. However, their biggest disadvantage is the insufficient number of fighter jets. We can fight as much as possible in tomorrow's air battle. Send more fighters to join the battle and completely suppress them in numbers. Then, use this advantage to severely injure them, or even wipe them out. In this way, it will be able to achieve the final result. Even capture Breton in one fell swoop Air supremacy over Jiaodao!" Lieutenant General Delos Emmons suggested.

  Admiral Henry Arnold thought for a while, and then nodded: "It is indeed impossible to continue fighting with the Germans. We must defeat them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, we will pay a greater price."

   "Yes, General." Lieutenant General Delos Emmons replied. Admiral Henry Arnold apparently supported his plan.

"In tomorrow's air battle, send as many troops as possible to defeat the Germans in one fell swoop. Not only we will dispatch, but also the navy's shore-based troops. In addition, the British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy are also doing their best! I Hopefully, the winner will be decided tomorrow!" Admiral Henry Arnold said.
