Chapter 401

Recently, akado's mood is not very good, because of the problem of British strategy, he is about to break his heart. All kinds of whimsical plans were put together by his subordinates, but most of them were unfeasible.

It's not that akado didn't want to use the familiar U.S. island hopping tactics to deal with Britain. As long as a nail is nailed in Iceland, it seems that Germany can easily starve the three British Islands. However, this plan, which seems to have a greater success rate, is buried with a mine that ordinary people can't see.

The first is what the island jumping tactics rely on, in other words, what the island jumping tactics are used to attack the opponent. To put it bluntly, it is actually the transportation capacity, which is the huge transportation capacity of our competitors.

Jumping Island, jumping Island, is to jump over some small islands to attack the island that is not prepared behind, and trap the island that has been jumped. Once this tactic is implemented, the two sides actually jump to the island together - everyone has a control area behind the enemy's line of defense. What is the competition at this time? Logistics, of course! The United States and Britain are separated by Iceland, and Iceland and Germany are separated by Britain. It depends on whether Britain starves first or Iceland starves first.

Can Germany maintain a normal transport line between Iceland and Norway? Does Germany have so many escort ships to protect such a long route? At that time, the British submarines will be rampant along this transportation line. Will all the German precious materials be thrown to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish?

Even if the British submarines can't beat the German wolves on this transportation line full of holes, akador is not sure who can stick to it. According to the analysis, the British local materials can last for three months. If we tighten our belts, it is not impossible for four months. It will take at least a month for Germany to build a base in Iceland and blockade Britain, which has taken nearly half a year.

To say the least, even if we really win Iceland, will it completely cut off the British Maritime transport lines? Not so. Iceland is not really between the United States and the United Kingdom, but on the upper side. Therefore, as long as the US transport ships slightly shift their routes to the south, they can completely avoid the German aircraft stationed in Iceland - the only way to cut off is the air transport lines through Iceland, that's all.

In addition, Britain also has 13 battleships and battlecruisers. If these battleships are transferred back to Britain in batches, some guerrilla tactics and the German navy are used to consume time, then only God knows when the war against Britain will be fought. If Britain is allowed to survive for another year, the newly launched aircraft carriers and newly produced fighter planes of Britain and the United States will join in the war, and Germany's technological advantages will disappear. At that time, Germany will be completely destroyed.

After such a calculation, the British can at least rely on the remaining supply lines to survive for more than half a year. At that time, no one can predict whether the United States will take part in the war or whether the Soviet Union will turn against Germany. This is tantamount to giving Britain the best situation: if you don't beat me, I will disgust you here.

Now we can see that there are at least three necessary conditions for the implementation of island hopping tactics, namely, superior combat forces, sufficient campaign time, and transportation capacity several times higher than the opponent's. To put it bluntly, this kind of tactics is to bully people when they have already occupied the absolute advantage, and a lot of problems will easily appear in the battle where the victory is not clear.

The aircraft carrier No. 6 was crouching in Port William for the last roosting. Because of the recent sinking of No. 5, it did not dare to steal chicken any more. After a short period of six ships' heyday, the German aircraft carrier fleet quickly fell back to the level of four ships. To akkado's relief, the saying of "the world's first navy", which was once very popular in the German Navy, disappeared.

The two latest German missile destroyers sent out a few days ago are actually not too advanced weapon configurations, but a primary experimental product of the combination of German rocket development achievements and guidance technology.

The new anti-ship missile weighs more than seven tons, almost the weight of two fighters. It can rush to its own target at the speed of 850 km / h. on the way, it needs the destroyer's radar as guidance to help correct the missile's flight path, and finally it can hit the target accurately.

Moreover, because its attack trajectory is inclined dive attack, the armor piercing ability is not ideal. In theory, it can only attack the combat targets below the heavy cruiser. Unless it is very lucky, the ability of this kind of missile against the battleship is very general. After all, because of the compromise of 20 km range, the warhead of the missile is only a little more than a ton. It is similar to the warhead of the air force's secret weapon "Fritz X".

It has to be explained here that one of the main reasons why Fritz X was able to sink the battleship Rome in another time and space is his bad luck. Judging from the other combat records of Fritz x, the actual attack ability of this bomb is not enough for battleships - there are many records of damaging cruisers and destroyers, but few of them are sunk.

So why is akado still studying this kind of anti-ship missile? The reason is not complicated. As a technical reserve, it will lay a good foundation for the next generation of better anti-ship missiles; To test whether the tactics of night anti-ship missile destroyer escorting aircraft carrier fleet is feasible; Although this kind of weapon is not qualified against battleships, it is a very useful new weapon against other ships.

Akado is now sending out his immature missile destroyer. In fact, he has an illusion that maybe any small change will become the last straw to crush Britain. If Britain is allowed to give in, Germany's problems will be solved. Fantasy to fantasy, akado did not give up landing in the United Kingdom of all kinds of preparatory work. He joined hands with some small minesweepers of the French navy to investigate several major landing areas and destroyed 17 minefields laid by Britain. In order to meet the needs of ground support, the air force began to put into operation a new aircraft, this aircraft is called Stuka 2, but it has nothing to do with Stuka. This aircraft uses a civil aircraft engine, power is very small, flight speed is very slow. And there's no fancy design with flat wings. However, this plane has been praised by the pilots after the test flight, because it is as easy to operate as a car at home, and it is convenient to train a large number of pilots. This kind of aircraft has a large fuel tank and a lot of ammunition, which can stay in the target area for a longer time. The important thing is that this aircraft is easy to produce and hardly takes up valuable aluminum alloy materials. Once it is put into production, it has formed a production scale of 15 aircraft per day. The plane can carry 10 small bombs and has two 30mm caliber machine guns on its wings. This weapon configuration is said to have been improved by the suggestion of Stuka pilots. Compared with the Stuka dive bomber, which has many functions and complex training, this kind of aircraft has only one task, that is to attack the low-cost moving targets. The task of bombing bridges, large blockhouses and fortresses is to destroy the enemy's small targets: tanks, vehicles, positions, personnel... And everything else. In Wilhelm harbor and Kiel harbor, Germany is refitting its own Hercules transport ships in large quantities. Now the German Hercules transport ships are divided into several important parts: one is to transport important steel on the route from Norway to Germany; Some of the goods and materials are sent to the Netherlands, Belgium, France and other regions; The rest are being converted into landing ships that can transport tanks. The German army is also training, and about 200000 soldiers are repeatedly landing on the French coast. General lundstedt was in charge of the operation, and his group a army was the main landing force to carry out the largest landing operation in human history. Due to the limitation of tonnage, the 2nd and 5th light armored forces will be sent to the British coastline as the main landing forces. Because most of the tanks will use tank 3 and the lighter old leopard tank, the loss is expected to reach more than 50%. However, immediately after the elite 11th armored force will be sent to Shanghai, the situation will immediately develop in a favorable direction for Germany. On several Hercules transport ships, each ship was set up with five launching positions, on which 10 Frederick rockets were fixed with ropes. These ships have only two purposes. One is to support landing forces and provide oppressive artillery support; One is responsible for destroying minefields along the British coast with covered fire. Under the guidance of akkado, Germany made the most perfect preparation for landing, and made up for its lack of landing experience to a certain extent. After some training, the German army, which is ready to land in Britain at any time, can be said to be the most experienced force in landing operations at this stage. In February, Germany was actively preparing to land in Britain in terms of weapons and equipment, personnel training and tactical layout. On the other side of the coastline, the British were also waiting for an unforgettable day for the German landing troops. Everyone is waiting, waiting for the order of the head of state akado. Then the British beaches were stained with blood, and millions of corpses were lying on them, which turned the three British islands into hell on earth.
