Chapter 1470： Where to go

Chapter 1470 What path to take 2

"His Royal Highness, Earl Spey has already begun to act. If you want to stop them, you should be quicker." Calipute said anxiously.

"Connect me to Lieutenant General Harar." The prince said without hesitation.

"It's connected." The guard passed the phone in his hand.

"How many sea attack aircraft groups can be dispatched tomorrow?" the prince asked.

"Part of the elite bomber squadrons originally took on the task of attacking the land tomorrow. If they change their outfits, I can focus on 8 squadron bombers, including 3 squadron torpedo planes and 5 squadron bombers." Lieutenant General Harrell thought for a while. Said.

"Very well, then, tomorrow's bomber plan is temporarily cancelled. Use the current time to reload weapons, then plan the attack route, follow the orders of the Earl of Spey, prepare to respond at the west entrance of the Dardanelles, and then move from the fighter team on duty. Three squadrons were drawn out to ensure air supremacy in this sea area. Count Spey has decided to continue the attack, so you can respond now." Ruprecht said.

"This..." To be honest, Lieutenant General Harrell was very dissatisfied with this result. Directly from the bench to the mess, no one is happy to change.

"If there are difficulties, just say, just do it if there are no difficulties. We can lose 100 bombers because we can quickly make up for these losses, but until the end of the war, we will not add another battleship to the Allied Mediterranean fleet. Understand?" the prince said.

"No problem, the mission must be completed. However, considering that radio communications may be disrupted, I hope the Air Force can have more autonomy. We will dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to detect war situations and take the initiative to take action when appropriate." Lieutenant General Lehr said.

"I partly agree with this proposal, but I have two requirements. First, you must ensure that when Earl Spey asks the Air Force to suppress the British and French fleets, you can at least come up with 5 bomber squadrons! Second, in Dardanelles The air supremacy in the blue zone at the western entrance of the strait must be guaranteed. (The so-called blue zone is the minefield and passage set up by the Confederate navy at the exit of the strait.) Third, you must find ways to inform Earl Spey when you have a big action. "The prince said.

In fact, Lieutenant General Harrell wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could hang a layer of flesh from the British and French fleets. This idea is understandable. After all, if the Allies wanted to block the Spey fleet’s way home, they would definitely enter the Bavarian Air Force. Combat radius. It was normal for Lieutenant General Harrell to want to take the opportunity to grab a hand.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, Harrell's actions cannot affect the core mission-to take the Spey fleet back! If it affects this, it is losing the watermelon and picking sesame seeds. The biggest feature of the Air Force is that the wave of attacks launched in a short period of time is quite threatening, but after the attack, it will be weakened for a long time due to the return of the attack aircraft and the supply of ammunition and personnel. In other words, this is a one-time deal. If the prince asks Lieutenant General Harrell to ensure that there are at least 5 squadrons of bombers on standby, it is that when the British and French fleets intercept the Spey fleet, hundreds of bombers can effectively stop the opponent!

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Lieutenant General Harar said without hesitation.

"Okay, then prepare now." The prince hung up after speaking. "Send a telegram to Earl Spey, asking them to activate the alternate communication band when necessary, and contact the Air Force directly. Then send a report to the submarine force so that all submarines that can attack will immediately rush to the blue zone of the Dardanelles. To alert the emergence of the British and French fleets."

"His Royal Highness, since the French were accidentally prepared, why did we agree to let the Spey Fleet continue to execute the battle plan?" Calipute asked.

"Because, even if the French were prepared due to accidents, our situation this time is still much better than in the future. It can be expected that in the future, Britain and France will at least deploy a submarine cordon at the entrance and exit of the Dardanelles. We think If you want to go out, it’s not that easy. Of course, the most important thing is that I hope that the British and French offensives can be delayed a little bit to give us more preparation time, and Earl Spey can achieve this goal."

"Order, all bomber groups with torpedo attack experience are immediately replaced with torpedoes, and all bombs are replaced with semi-armor-piercing shells in the anti-sea mode. The squadrons rearrange their tasks and find two more bomber squadrons on duty from the reserve. According to our number three The backup plan is to perform the mission to attack the sea." Lieutenant General Harar put down the phone and began to prepare for tomorrow morning's action. From the time point of view, there is at least 6 hours to prepare. The torpedo and bombs will be replaced quickly. It can be done. As for the bomber combat plan? Lieutenant General Harar also has a plan, and the No. 3 backup plan is to use the air force to attack the warships of the coastal Allies.

"The actions of our bomber force have changed, but what about the fighter force?" an officer asked.

"All the fighter squadrons assigned to the bomber units remain unchanged. After I found 3 squadrons from the aviation squadrons on duty, I asked them to stand by at any time and prepare to provide escorts for the Spey fleet!"

As a result, the major airports at the front of the Bavarian Air Force were already busy. Basically, all the aircraft were loaded with bombs and fuel. The ground staff who were ready to take off on the runway had to re-carry these aircraft back to the apron~ www.novelhall.com~ Then remove the loaded bombs from the body and replace them with corresponding torpedoes and anti-ship semi-armor-piercing bombs. For the latter, it’s okay to just replace it, but it’s not that easy to pull the torpedo out of the ammunition depot.

The corresponding technicians need to test the torpedo, and adjust the torpedo depth according to the water depth of the target sea area and the battleship facing. Check the propeller and steering gear of the torpedo. After about 30 to 40 minutes of adjustment and testing, it can be installed on the bomber.

The airport was busy. All the ground crews began to work overtime to replace the shells. After receiving the task, the commanders of the squadrons also sent people to rush their squadron leaders one by one from the beds. Then, while rubbing their eyes and yawning, a group of people came to the war room and started arranging new tasks. Compared with these officers, the pilots could sleep about an hour longer.

This unexpected situation naturally caused the officers and soldiers of the Air Force to complain, but compared with Earl Spey, their actions were only a little more troublesome, and Earl Spey had to take a huge risk, and there might be some problems in the French fleet. Under the defensive situation, attack the next target!
