Chapter 1693： Progressive plan one

Slide 1693

"Under the current circumstances, the aircraft carrier is very fragile, and its most dangerous enemy is also from the air! In the combat plan of the German High Seas Fleet, the aircraft carrier is located in a non-engaged area, and the large main fleet of the High Seas Fleet is relatively comparable. Ample **** warships can effectively provide shielding for the aircraft carrier detachment. Although there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof, relying on the light cruisers and destroyers around the aircraft carrier, even if the British light cruisers approach the aircraft carrier fleet, there is still no need to worry."

"But the threat in the air is very huge. Even if we can do very good radio control and detection, in this naval battle, even the Japanese navy's seaplane can track our carrier-based aircraft to find the position of the aircraft carrier. If they were replaced by the British, they would definitely be able to find us. We can only postpone the process, not completely eliminate it."

"In this way, the aircraft carrier will sooner or later face the attack of the British bombers. Perhaps the attack power of the carrier-based aircraft on the British aircraft carrier is not worth mentioning, but the combat effectiveness of the British FB27 and O400 series bombers must still be respectable. of."

Thinking of the British FB27 bomber and the powerful torpedoes and bombs carried by the British, Major General Rodhart felt very painful. After considering these things, I originally felt that the size of the 400 carrier aircraft on 5 aircraft carriers might be It's really not too much... After all, according to German intelligence, the number of twin-engine aircraft owned by the entire British Royal Navy is as high as 800. It is true that many of these aircraft are seaplanes performing anti-submarine missions, and many flight crews have no experience in sea attacks. Considering the battlefield situation and the attendance rate of the aircraft, very few can be there, but don’t say much, as long as there are 100 twin-engine bombers coming in with bombs and torpedoes, they are all great for the German fleet. pressure! This is also one of the important reasons why the German High Seas Fleet is relatively honest during this period...

You know, the prince’s goal is to completely damage the British fleet, which means that, in any case, the two sides will maintain contact for a long time. The two largest fleets in the world start from the contact between the main fleet, and the two sides have five. Hours are possible! And even if the British want to leave, the Germans must chase after them. There are not many opportunities. If you lose it, you may never have it!

Therefore, it can be expected that in this war, the German fleet will definitely face an attack from British land-based aviation. The only question is when will the opponent come! Compared with battleships, aircraft carriers are quite fragile. After combining the damage effects of bombs in actual combat and experiments and the strength of their own aircraft carriers, Rod Hart can be sure that perhaps a 250KG bomb will not make the high seas fleet the largest The aircraft carrier was hit hard, but if it was a 1000-pound bomb, if the location is good, it can really make the aircraft carrier lose its aviation capabilities, and even cause a fire in the hangar. If you have bad luck, GG directly will be bad.

Regarding this situation, Major General Rodhart’s opinion is that apart from the first wave of attacks, all aircraft refueling and ammunition replenishment work for the remaining attacks can only be carried out on the deck, except for the parking of aircraft inside the hangar. , Reject all replenishment activities. In this case, even if it is shot, so much energy will be emitted into the air without affecting the hull. At the same time, strengthen the fire protection and damage management capabilities of battleships. In Major General Rodhart’s report, he strongly requested an increase of half of the fire extinguishing agent reserve and at least 30% of the fire damage management team members. At the same time, he also requested all fire damage management team members. Equipped with equipment such as shields, masks and fire protection suits, otherwise, once it catches fire, the battleship hasn't been hung up, and all the members of the damage control team have hung up, which is embarrassing....

In addition to passively improving damage management capabilities, Major General Rodhart also asked for an increase in the fleet's early warning capabilities and resistance to aviation forces. This is also the lesson that this naval battle taught the major general. It would be too troublesome if there are no forward surveillance ships and aircraft around the aircraft carrier fleet.

In the North Sea, the air defense observation post on the surface of the water has to face a problem, that is, bad weather. This so-called bad weather does not simply mean that the clouds are filled with turbid waves and empty. In this case, the aircraft is also more likely to hit the battleship. The worst thing is that if the cloud cover is relatively low, then the aircraft flying above the cloud cover will greatly weaken the early warning capability of the surface aviation observation post! After all, in the second battle, whether it is sea attack or air combat, the use of cloud cover is a very common tactic!

On the day of the battle, the German Navy could not determine the height of the clouds, so there must be an aerial reconnaissance force to keep an eye on the fleet, and this requires long-range patrol aircraft or even airships! Although the German airships are indeed big and good, the Royal Navy also has airships! And the number is quite large, there are more than 100 ships! If the time comes to determine the fate of both sides, the British airship will definitely serve as the fleet's reconnaissance force.

Therefore, if you want to wipe sweat from the coat of the fish pond in the North Sea, the German land-based aviation must also go all out, and if necessary, draw a large amount of aviation force from the air force to support the navy. Fortunately, Germany is on the offensive side, and UU Kanshu has the first hand.

Therefore, Major General Rodhart has compiled a very large-scale land-based aviation support plan! In this plan, Major General Rodhart divided the land-based aviation group into three parts. The first part is a reconnaissance and anti-submarine unit composed of airships and long-range patrol aircraft. Yes, you read that right, it is anti-submarine. To be honest, the British have a lot of submarines, although the British do not play submarine warfare. But these submarines can still be used in the North Sea to deploy submarine cordon. As for their usefulness? Isn't this more useful?

Therefore, the first part of the vigilance and anti-submarine fleet must take care of both tasks. Major General Rodhart requires that part of the airship unit accompany the fleet operations, while the other part of the long-range reconnaissance aircraft must take the initiative to sort out the entire battlefield like a comb. The anti-submarine fleet will also maneuver around the fleet to suppress submarines that may appear. The aircraft is not required to sink the submarine, and it is enough to suppress them from being exposed to the surface.

In addition to the most basic visual reconnaissance, these reconnaissance planes will also carry radio monitoring and positioning equipment to enhance the scope and intensity of the reconnaissance through radio technology.
