From 1 to 12, a surface attack ship formation of the US Atlantic Fleet was surrounded and intercepted by the Allied Navy in the North Atlantic. Both the best heavy cruisers were sunk. After 140 officers and soldiers were killed, it became the biggest loss suffered by the US Navy since the winter of 1934. Then the Allied Team was overwhelmed from the Atlantic, and the darkest day finally came. In many beaches and port towns in the southern part of the Florida Peninsula, the layers of defenses that MacArthur and his staff team worked hard to prevent the Allied Team that rushed to the shore like a tide. The telegram of the battle situation flew to MacArthur like snowflakes...

The lessons of the Battle of the Cohen Peninsula are still vivid in my mind. Without losing sea and air supremacy, MacArthur did not hurry to mobilize the reserve troops to counterattack the Allies of the 6th. Instead, he ordered them to continue to stand by invisible areas, and at the same time asked the frontline defense forces to rely on fortifications to make the most of their resistance.

By the time night fell, the League team successfully opened seven 6 boards in the southern part of the Florida Peninsula. More than 300,000 ground troops gained a foothold on the beach and advanced to a depth of 3-6 kilometers. Behind these 6 boards were hundreds of battles, support ships and a large number of transport ships, and thousands of combat aircraft deployed in the Bahamas and Cuba. On the day of the battle, the US team lost not only more than 40,000 officers and soldiers from the front line troops, but also mentally.

A heavy blow, 3 divisions, 7 brigades and more than 20 regiment-level units self-described as "complete collapse" in their reports to their superiors. Many other troops reported that "more than half of their combat power loss" or "severely hit". Almost every unit had deserters. Fortunately, the entire battalion and company had not yet escaped from combat posts, but if the situation has not improved, morale will become more sluggish until the entire line collapses may be only a matter of time. △1※Read the book.

In order to withstand the attack of the Alliance Team and even turn defeat into victory in the first battle to defend the homeland, the US Navy and the US Air Force announced to be formed in the spring of 1934 are both irreplaceable.

After losing the Battle of Bermuda, the US and Commonwealth troops were in trouble because of the mutual accusations and distrust of each other by senior generals. On the other hand, they turned to defense strategically. Both sides defended their own territory. Although the relationship between joint operations existed, the degree of closeness and scale of linkage was no longer the same. When the leather boots of the Allied soldiers stepped on the soft beach in the southern Florida Peninsula, the Commonwealth troops guarding Canada had fought head-on with the Allied team for nearly seven months. During this period, although the US military maintained a combat force of no less than 20,000 people in Canada, the number of heavy weapons such as aircraft, ships, and tanks was very limited. Moreover, judging from the deployment and mobilization of the US military, they regarded Canada as a training ground, unlike the Commonwealth troops that were still loyal to the British royal family, fighting bloody battles to guard the last free royal territory.

Since the Battle of Bermuda, the top political leaders and naval generals of the United States reached an important consensus, that is, the current strength of the U.S. Navy cannot compete with the allied navy, which is in full swing. Therefore, they began to adopt a strategy of avoiding war. On the one hand, they concentrated the deployment of main ships in the California waters to preserve their strength, and on the other hand, they stepped up the construction of new ships. After more than a year of hiding their strength, the U.S. Navy gradually returned to its pre-war scale. By the time the Allies were fighting the Bahamas Battle, the U.S. Atlantic Fleet had 11 battleships, 2 battlecruisers, 26 aircraft carriers, 31 light and heavy cruisers, and 144 destroyers. Moreover, the proportion of new ships among large ships accounted for 40%, and the proportion of new ships among light ships was close to that of

70% of the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved compared to when the war started. However, the confidence accumulated by the US Navy officers and soldiers was hit by the Bahamas Battle, because the Allied camp not only continued to expand its naval strength, but also made great progress in the field of technology. Before the fleets of the two sides had a direct confrontation, the naval aviation of the Allied countries severely damaged the three main aircraft carriers of the US Atlantic Fleet in an air strike, causing the US commander to quickly abandon the attempt to duel the fleet and instead adopted a combat strategy that combined peripheral guerrilla and night mine laying, which helped the US Navy achieve relatively large results during the battles of the Bahamas and Cuba, and regained some confidence from the tactical level. However, with the change of hands between the Bahamas and Cuba, the US team further lost its strategic initiative.

The Allied ** team made a big 6th Florida Peninsula. On the night of the night, an outer guard fleet of the Allied Navy encountered the American main fleet heading south in the Emerald Island waters hundreds of kilometers away. The two sides exchanged fierce fire, known as the "Emerald Night Battle". In this battle, the Allied countries had only 2 heavy cruisers, 2 light aircraft carriers, 2 light cruisers, and 5 destroyers. The United States' main fleet had 4 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers, and 8 destroyers. The main team that followed had 7 battleships, 10 aircraft carriers, and 4 heavy cruisers.

There are 4 foreign ships, 11 light cruisers, and 34 destroyers. Such powerful forces are enough to compete with the support fleet of the Allied Navy in the Florida waters. This naval battle, which seems to be a mantis arm, is famous for the surprising performance of the Allied Navy aviation forces. Two German light aircraft carriers dispatched 70 carrier-based aircraft at night. The pilots not only accurately found the target, but also achieved the excellent results of sinking one enemy light cruiser and injured many enemy cruisers and destroyers. The reason is that the Germans' newly developed and self-guided torpedo made great contributions.

The first half of the "Emerald Night Battle" is the time of the Allied Naval Air Force, and the second half is the heroic American naval officers and soldiers. The outpost fleet approached the Allied Police Fleet with two heavy patrols and six destroyers. The two sides launched a night artillery battle of more than ten kilometers apart. The German Navy, which is at the forefront of the world in the field of radar fire control, did not gain any advantage this time. In fact, their opponents have been equipped with relatively superior fire control radars. After more than an hour of fierce artillery battle, the German new heavy cruiser and the third generation "Blüchel" were severely damaged, one light cruiser was seriously damaged, and two destroyers were sunk. The two heavy patrols of the United States were only slightly injured, and the Allied Police Fleet was forced to retreat.

Received an emergency telegram from the alert fleet, the German naval general Gunther Lütjens, who had shined in the Battle of the Yar Islands, immediately led a combat fleet that was maneuvering in the waters near the Bahamas to rush north to rescue, and found the enemy's traces south of the Emerald Island this morning after the end of the Emerald Night War. The two sides fought fiercely again, known as the "Emerald Morning War". This naval battle born in the daytime, occasionally the factors were greatly reduced compared to the night war. It can be said that it is a comprehensive competition of command personnel's tactical ability, military qualities of officers and soldiers at all levels, and technical performance of combat ships. In terms of fleet size, the combat fleet led by Lütjens is still far from the US main fleet that sent all elite troops to the battle.

The German Navy Admiral initially adopted an aviation combat strategy, intending to exert the technical advantages of the allied naval aviation. At this time, the German Navy had basically completed the upgrade of carrier-based fighter jets. The new Fokker G-54 and the improved me-5ot replaced the H-25 in the early stage of the war, causing the Seahawk/Hawk in the US and British camps to lose their original technical advantages. The torpedo bomber Fi-111 specially designed for the German Navy aviation have ideal performance in terms of aviation, range, and bomb loading. As for the extremely successful classic carrier-based dive bomber ju-17t, it will work side by side with the newly-served ju-33t.

At the beginning of the Jade Morning Battle, the Lütjens fleet launched a rapid attack with carrier-based aircraft troops, and took the lead. The Bo air strike severely damaged two US aircraft carriers. The Americans had learned about the strength of the Allied naval aviation in the previous naval battles in the Yar Islands and Bermuda. After more than a year of preparation, although they were not reborn, they also made great progress in their technical and tactical qualities. Shortly after the Allied carrier-based aircraft attack, a large group of US carrier-based aircraft flew over the Lütjens fleet and attacked in an orderly manner under the anti-aircraft artillery of the Allied ships. Four of the seven aircraft carriers under Lütjens were damaged, one of which was seriously injured, and the subsequent combat capabilities of the aircraft carrier detachment were greatly weakened.

At this time, Lütjens did not bet on the second wave of the carrier-based aircraft force, but responded to the orderly evacuation of the remaining ships of the alert fleet, and carried out active defense against the actions of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft group. Seeing that the first wave of air strikes achieved remarkable results, the US fleet carried out the second wave of air strikes and coordinated the 6-base aviation forces to reinforce. Faced with 227 US carrier-based aircraft and 95 6-base fighter jets, Lütjens's fleet dispatched 1O4 carrier-based fighters accounted for 86% of the total number of carrier-based fighters in the fleet, and carried out unified command, scheduling, and combat according to its aircraft carrier. In the airspace south of Emerald Island, more than 400 carrier-based aircraft on both sides were deployed.

In an extremely tragic air battle, the German fleet shot down 99 US fighters at the cost of losing 43 carrier-based fighters. In terms of the proportion of participating forces and combat losses, the Germans undoubtedly won a beautiful victory. However, in the subsequent battle, the flagship of the aircraft carrier detachment, the long-standing battle formation of the Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier "Swabian", and the newly-entered Irish aircraft carrier "Coker" were successively damaged, and the aircraft carrier combat power of the Allied fleet continued to weaken. Under such a situation, Lütjens decisively chose to retreat, and the US fleet launched the third, fourth and fifth wave of air strikes, but no significant results were achieved. A few hours later, the US government officially announced a victory in the Emerald Naval Battle, which attracted praise from American public opinion.
