Chapter 1695： Progressive plan three

Slide 1695

Major General Rodhart believes that the first wave of attacks after the two sides meet will be the time when the German carrier-based aircraft forces have the greatest advantage. At this time, even if the British fleet has discovered the German fleet and began to call for land-based aviation, then Within 4 hours, the probability of a large-scale arrival of the British land-based fleet will not be high. After all, even if the preparation and formation time of the land-based bombers are not counted, regardless of the difficulty of coordination of the British, they will take off from airports in the UK. , And according to the bullet speed of less than 100 kilometers per hour, then if you rush to the battlefield, the time is also very late, and the British carrier-based aircraft's sea strike capability is no different for the Germans, so , This first wave of attacks is definitely the strongest wave of attacks that a German aircraft carrier can strike!

In this plan, Major General Rodhart adjusted the capacity of the five aircraft carriers to 440 aircraft. It is conservatively estimated that if carefully prepared and exhausted, the total size of the first wave of aircraft fleet can reach more than 250 aircraft. . Of course, this is not a wave of numbers. There will be some tricks in specific operations. For example, before the attack, the deck and hangar were prepared at the same time. After the first wave of aircraft was released, the second wave of aircraft was immediately lifted from the hangar. Good aircraft, and then fly directly, the entire flight process may last a relatively long period of time.

Among these 250 aircraft, in addition to about 50 fighters, there are also 200 bombers carrying bombs and torpedoes. If you are lucky, it is possible to hit 10 battleships with heavy damage to the output of the high seas fleet! This blow does not interrupt the backbone of the British Royal Navy, but it is definitely a painful one!

Counting the time for the first wave of attack and recovery by the carrier’s aviation, and the time for the second wave of preparations, it will take about 3 to 4 hours after the entire attack is over. If this wave of battle is over, the German High Seas Fleet If you are still at war with the British, then a second wave of attacks will be imperative. At this time, the situation may no longer be that the German carrier-based aircraft forces completely control the sky.

After 3 to 4 hours, part of the British navy’s land-based air force should have arrived, and more may still be on the way. At this time, the German navy’s operational thinking is to catch another wave before the arrival of the opponent’s largest fleet! Regarding estimates after the first wave of battles, Major General Rodhart believes that the loss of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft forces will not exceed 50. If you count the number of aircraft on the aircraft carrier as spare parts, then the number of aircraft available on the aircraft carrier It should be similar to the first wave, but at this time, it is obviously impossible to launch an offensive of the same intensity as the first wave. The preparation time for the second wave is not that long, and the German land-based carrier aircraft must take up the whole Air defense mission of the fleet.

Therefore, the entire aircraft carrier squadron must provide at least 100 fighter jets for fleet air defense. In this case, the second wave of 150 attack aircraft to attack the British fleet is already very good. But this is basically enough. Rodhart's idea is to completely use up the torpedoes and blockbuster bombs on the German aircraft carrier in the second wave of attacks, with the idea of ​​counting as much as possible. After the fight, immediately prepare to flash people.......

When the German aircraft carrier ended the second wave of attacks, this time should be about 6 to 7 hours after the start of the battle. The ammunition stored in the main battery of the German High Seas Fleet battleship in this high-intensity battle has also been nearly exhausted. So, it's time to go home.

At this time, the German aircraft carrier will provide its own fleet with air protection umbrellas and cover the fleet's withdrawal to Wilhelmshaven. It is conceivable that if the large fleet is severely damaged, the German fleet will also suffer a lot of damage, and the British long-range bombers must be like Sharks that smell of blood are generally chasing after them. At this time it was the closing time, and Rodhart could only do his best to send the fleet home smoothly with the consciousness of putting all the aviation troops out. And if the main force of the German fleet returns home safely, then the battle in the North Sea will be determined, and the British will definitely not be able to resist the high seas fleet after returning home to the blood!

Of course, in this war, no one can guarantee that the aircraft carrier will not be destroyed. It is even hard to say that in the face of the frantic revenge of the British, there will be a few remaining aircraft carrier fleets. However, as long as it can fundamentally shake the British sea power, get them back to the negotiating table and sign a treaty beneficial to Germany. As for crossing the English Channel to force the British to surrender? Well, even William II did not have this idea, and the Germans promised that if Germany really had this idea and put it into practice, the American fans would immediately turn black... Finally, decisively became Germany and Austria singled out the world.

Of course, this plan is only the most basic, and there are still many issues that have not been resolved. For example, how does the High Seas Fleet attack and how to create fighters for the British to fight the Germans without sufficient preparations? Will it be before the start of the battle? Think of a way to knock down a few key airports? These issues are very important, but they have nothing to do with Major General Rodhart. This is something that Prince Ruprecht and the high-level of the German High Seas Fleet considered. As long as Major General Rodhart can do it, he will pull it out at the critical moment~ www.novelhall.com~ It is enough to win this crucial decisive battle.

Ultimately, Major General Rodhart’s report will become part of the High Seas Fleet’s combat plan, and then some modifications will be made according to the needs of the battle. However, no matter what, after combining this actual combat experience, the entire tactical process is closer to reality, and it is no longer the state of the fleet being closed in the Baltic Sea. In this plan, Major General Rodhart also wrote an appendix, which detailed requirements and disposal measures for the damage management and fire fighting of battleships, and at the end of the report, Rodhart also I asked whether the hangar is allowed to maintain aircraft. If not, Rodhart will have to make some adjustments to the operation of the entire carrier aircraft, but overall, from the current point of view, the German Navy still has time.

Because according to the schedule, there are still about 4 months before the final battle at sea! When the report was delivered to Ruprecht, the latter probably took a look and put it away first, because winter has already come, and since the Napoleonic Wars, the biggest change in Europe will unfold! Even the Austro-Prussian War of the year cannot be compared with the changes in the next few months! The winter of 1913 is destined to make some decadent things history, and others will be born in this cold winter!
