Chapter 1203 the age of naval guns and aircrafts

The British can think of using torpedoes to attack warships, and the prince can also think of deploying lightning nets on the berths of all battleships and removing most of the ammunition when nothing happens. Anyway, I won't go out again in a short time. The former blocks the torpedo, the latter defends against the bomb initiation! Prepare some more pontoons.

As for the most efficient way, it is natural to transfer all the fleet to the Baltic Sea, but in order to put pressure on the British fleet, and to attract the British bombers, they cast themselves into the net. The prince still left some fleets in the North Sea! That's right, the bombers that attracted the British came to bomb! Think about it, the cost of an O-400 bomber is around 9,000 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to the cost of two tanks. A V1500 also costs at least 25,000 pounds! Plus the pilot above. The long-range bombing project is not large. In fact, without the United States, the British in World War II would definitely not defeat the Germans, let alone now?

After the Kaiser left, the prince in Kiel and the commanders of the German Navy and the Bavarian Air Force began to discuss how the German fleet should fight in the future after the addition of aircraft carriers. This is an unprecedented problem, even as a crossing No one knows what output the aviation can make in this era! To tell the truth, in history, the participation of aircraft carriers from the United States and Japan in military exercises occurred after the 1920s. And now? The aviation technology is obviously inferior by several grades, and it is difficult to rely solely on aircraft carriers for output. There must be output, but relying solely on the aircraft carrier will definitely not work. It is based on the hit rate of the current level bomber, the torpedo with only more than 400 kilograms, and the carrier aircraft with a range of more than 200 kilometers. What output do you want to type?

"A large number of attack aircraft groups are deadly against a single ship, but if they attack an enemy of the size of a large fleet, then the seemingly huge attack aircraft group will be dispersed by the large number of opponents. Considering the water carried by the British fleet itself Aircraft, the idea of ​​trying to shake the entire fleet by relying on the aircraft of four aircraft carriers is not feasible." Admiral Scheer said, looking at the two fleets on the huge sand table.

"Moreover, we must also pay attention to the fact that the actual number of aircraft released by the aircraft carrier is up to 60% of the total. That is to say, only 180 aircraft out of 300 aircraft can be released in a single attack. In the case of fighter jets, the remaining attack aircraft will be around 120 to 130. And these aircraft cannot all carry deadly torpedoes. One-third of the torpedo capabilities are good. In other words, our wave of attacks is really threatening. The reality is 40 to 50 torpedoes.” Major General Wade from the Bavarian Air Force said.

"After a wave of attacks, it may take us more than an hour to prepare the remaining aircraft and then send them out. If we really want to fight the battle line with the large fleet, insist on an hour. I am afraid that this will cost a high price." Hipper said with some questioning, touching his chin. Although the High Seas Fleet and the Great Fleet have met several times, they have also taken advantage of it, but if the war really starts. Alignment, if the two sides were dead for more than an hour, the German navy would not be able to fight it, but the price was really high.

"Can we do this? Before the battle between the two fleets, we send aircraft to carry out harassment operations. We can concentrate our efforts on attacking a certain British battleship squadron, or delay their actions and disrupt their formation. Get us a better one. The situation. The aircraft carrier squadron can be behind the battleship squadron so that they can avoid the British shells and torpedoes.” Major General von Lefetzoff said.

"This can indeed be done. The risk for the fleet is small, but at the same time it cannot give full play to the role of carrier-based aircraft. Because we divide the force originally used for one strike into two strikes. In this case, the opponent It is more convenient to deal with, and I don’t know if you have noticed it. The British seem to have some conventional take-off and landing aircraft in the fleet. These aircraft are not equipped with floats. They completely treat these aircraft as antiaircraft artillery shells, as single-use. Weapon!" The prince said after putting down a document in his hand.

You don’t understand the so-called local tyrant’s world. Fighters are used as disposable weapons. Is this generous enough? In fact, the British really did this, in order to deal with the German long-range bomber FW200 in the second war. The British specially modified some merchant ships with the fire-breathing or hurricane of the number on them. The FW200 killed it and took off directly. After the fight, the aircraft was thrown directly into the sea and the pilot returned. And on this plane, the British were in This tactic was practiced in the first battle...

This means that the air defense capability of the British fleet may be greatly improved. After all, the combat effectiveness of the same aircraft, with or without buoys, is too great. According to the principle of air defense, the opponent only needs to kill attack aircraft carrying bombs and torpedoes. It’s okay. Such a wave of about 180 aircraft rushing up will definitely cause some losses to the British, but it’s hard to say how big the losses are, and as a carefully trained pilot, if the wave of losses is too great, then the naval aviation It may not be relieved for 2 months!

The prince also disagrees with von Lefetzoff’s opinion In addition to dispersing the power, more importantly, no matter how powerful tactics can only be used for the first time, they will work best. If the British can't be hit hard by the second battle, then next time, even if the German navy does better, it may not have much success. After all, the British can learn from it, and they can also take precautions in advance! The prince has no doubt that the British may have begun to consider building a pure aircraft carrier for the large fleet. At least a certain amount of fighters are installed on it. Then the attack power of the German aircraft carrier's carrier aircraft will definitely be greatly reduced. To be honest, this technical barrier is actually not as high as everyone thought! The British can quickly find a way to deal with it after suffering a loss, so the prince plans to make the big fleet bleeding for the first time! Otherwise it won't be easy to play later...

"The battleship squadron and the aircraft carrier squadron must engage the British fleet at the same time, and it is best if the battleships have already engaged the large fleet before the aircraft of the aircraft carrier squadron begins to attack. Only when the British fleet is already in formation, it cannot be effectively avoided. , And when the above planes are too late to take off or cannot be used for other reasons, the aircraft carrier can play its greatest role!" The prince set the tone for the new warfare laws!
