The Puerto Rico radar station provided early warning information very responsibly, but the opponent's speed was too fast. 175 kilometers was only more than 10 minutes for the V3 cruise missile with a speed of up to 750 kilometers per hour. However, more than 200 attack aircraft that followed were followed to reach the battlefield in 20 minutes.

This batch of air-launched V3s is the result of Germany's newly developed and tested, with a range of up to 650 kilometers. However, this battle was not so far. Heavy bombers carried them to a distance of about 400 kilometers before they were released. Although the bombers flew slowly than other attack aircraft groups, due to the high speed of the V3, they came from behind in the final stage and attacked first.

In an emergency, the US pilots attacked with all their might, and one aircraft after another quickly took off, especially fighter jets, and were even prepared to intercept invading enemy aircraft under the guidance of radar, preparing to win other comrades-in-arms with valuable respite.

Although the latest p47n used by the US military can fly at a speed of 750 km/h at the extreme altitude, intercepting cruise missiles in the dark is a revolutionary problem. Even if 12 7mm heirlooms occasionally hit the missile, they cannot change the trajectory.

The missile entered the last 5 minutes of range. At this moment, the xxi-class submarine that had already probed in the outer waters of Puerto Rico sent out the last guidance signal. According to the front-line relay guidance, 32 missiles corrected the track error and dragged their long tail flames toward the US military airport.

The 800-kilogram high-explosion warhead merges with the falling speed of more than 800 kilometers to form one, and instantly pounces on the locked target, and then makes a violent explosion.

The probability deviation of the 32 modified missiles has been lower than 2 kilometers, and more than half of them hit the target, some hit the runway, some hit the hangar, some hit the planes gathering to refuel, and some simply hit the airport's oil depots, towers and other facilities.

Overall, the damage caused is not too great, but the psychological deterrence formed is not small.

A few minutes later, a large number of German planes arrived and after dropping flares, they bombed the targets indiscriminately. The prepared US troops fought back. The air was filled with fire and smoke. Both German and American planes were from the Germans.

Seeing that the US military was prepared, especially the large number of aircraft were already in the air, the German commander also felt a slump, thinking that the situation was different from what he expected and that there were many differences from those deployed before the war. However, it was already here, regretting and retreating was useless. He could only risk his losses and try his best to destroy the US military's airport facilities.

"The Germans are raiding Puerto Rico?" Mitchell, who received the telegram, was also startled, "How is the situation?"

"It's quite ideal, at least 240 of the 350 aircraft that were ready to be put into operation"

"So, there are 110 more destroyed?" Mitchell's face was gloomy, and he suddenly lost one-seventh of the offensive power on his hand. He felt a little trouble.

Hewitt advised him: "We must find out as soon as possible whether the aircraft of the German Navy or Air Force are coming to the air strike. If it is a naval aircraft, the enemy's aircraft carrier position may have fundamentally changed."

Mitchell's heart moved. This was a very important factor, so he immediately asked someone to check it out.

Ten minutes later, the news came, and most of them were twin-engine horizontal bombers, with very few aircraft capable of dive bombing, and it was basically judged as Air Force aircraft.

Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, another telegram came 5 minutes later: Puerto Rico encountered a second round of attack, and this time it was confirmed that it was a carrier-based aircraft, because most of them were dive bombers!

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!" Mitchell was so angry that he cursed three times.

"Sir, this means the German fleet may not be there."

Hewitt was interrupted by Mitchell in half: "Let Puerto Rico send reconnaissance planes to search the waters within 500,600 kilometers south."

The "Supervisor" reminded him, "They sent out 12 long-range reconnaissance aircraft at 4:30. Now the island is fighting again, so it may be difficult to detect."

Mitchell slapped his head, knowing that he was in a hurry and hurriedly said, "Let the fleet reconnaissance planes investigate!"

At present, the main force of the Atlantic Fleet has arrived 80 kilometers south of the US Virgin Islands. Mitchell deployed a task to search for fan surfaces between 160 degrees and 300 degrees.

"Are those 12 reconnaissance planes called?"

Mitchell pondered for a long time: "No call is available for the time being, and we will investigate according to the original plan. What if the German fleet only divides some of its troops to fight?"

Hueye nodded: The intelligence showed that the second round of attacks was more than 200 aircraft, which was only 40% of the combat aircraft owned by the German fleet, so we must be warned.

At 5:34 am, the East had gradually begun to reveal its white belly. Mashar, Ozawa and others received telegrams from the front line: "Our army successfully launched an air strike on Puerto Rico, but the enemy seemed to be prepared. A large number of aircraft were on the air. In addition to the airport facilities, it was not ideal to destroy the ground aircraft fleet."

Everyone nodded with a serious expression: The US military was prepared in the early morning after a abnormal manner. The most likely thing was to carry out an attack. The target was undoubtedly to deal with the fleet. But why did they not attack yesterday but were placed in the early morning of today?

Crank asked tentatively: "Is the main fleet of the US military coming? Trying to eat us with two-way attacks?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Let the reconnaissance plane take off and search the entire northern sector."

At 5:41, 18 colorful clouds rose into the air to search for possible US fleets. The atmosphere on the bridge was very tense.

At 6:15, Mitchell received the telegram from the first 12 B29s. They did not know the incidents behind them and were still performing their original mission: they arrived above the target sea area. After 15 minutes of searching, no trace of the German fleet was found, and asked whether to expand the search area.

Although Mitchell was basically convinced that the German fleet was no longer within the original scope of the original plan, he was still unwilling to give up his last hope and ordered: "Expand the search westward to the waters near Curacao, Aruba",

"Also" he pondered for a moment, "let the attack aircraft group that took off from Puerto Rico attack south, searching for the German fleet freely until only the return fuel remains."

Hewitt added: "To leave the oil for Haiti, Puerto Rico is probably not available at the airport."

"Let General Josenna coordinate and ask Haiti and Dominican air forces to prepare for attack. Once you are sure that the German fleet is not far away, take off and strike immediately."

Time passed by minute by minute, and the two fleets were still getting closer at a speed of 40 kilometers. Although Mitchell wanted to give orders to turn around and retreat several times, he was worried that the enemy situation had changed and the German army might be very close to him. He did not dare to give the order to turn around and escape, and the chased prey would become himself. Now he can only pray that the reconnaissance planes are more powerful and that they can discover the specific location of the German fleet as soon as possible.

Now the aircraft carrier cover group has completed takeoff. He wanted to issue orders to take off several times, but he was afraid of taking too fast and losing fuel in vain. Once the first attack wave is lost, it means that the combat effectiveness of the side will be reduced by a great level.

The atmosphere was also very tense on the bridge of Zeppelin. Since the first attack wave released in the early morning had not yet taken off, the entire aircraft carrier formation now has only half the attack power, so Mashar and others were anxiously looking forward to the return of the plane, but they were afraid that the return attack group would just run into the US military aircraft group that was coming to attack. That was a tragedy.

Ozawa thought for a long time and couldn't find a way to achieve the best of both worlds. He sighed slightly: "Let the planes of Aruba and Curacao attack, be prepared for cross-platform, send 36 air defense fighters, and at the same time release a part of the second attack wave, and release the two aircraft of the resentment-class armored aircraft carriers first, and then accelerate the sudden forward under the protection of the battleship!"

Mashar was a little surprised, and then quickly understood Ozawa's intention: the latter planned to arrange a bait to use the resistance to strikes of two British armored aircraft carriers and the firepower magnets formed before and after the sudden outbreak. Once the US military attacks first, it will not endanger the overall combat capability of the fleet.

At 6:23, a large number of German aircraft that completed the attack returned, some returned to Guadeloupe and some returned to the fleet. Several smart US fighters quietly followed the brigade of German aircraft, trying to pull out the German fleet hidden deep.

At 7:04, good luck landed on the Americans. Mitchell received a telegram: "I discovered that the German fleet, at least 2 regular aircraft carriers, 3 light aircraft carriers, and 2 battleships were located 440 kilometers south of Puerto Rico!"

"Great! Let the Air Force attack first, and we will arrive!" Mitchell waved his arms fiercely, "Tell the young men that the time for the decisive battle has come, and every American soldier must do his best!"

"Long live freedom!"
