Chapter 1971： plan

The British did deploy some air teams near the capital, but most of them are second-rate reserve forces, which are in the nature of training newcomers. Although the Luftwaffe had concentrated its forces on the Strait of Dover, forcing the British to strengthen some troops in this area. , But overall, the air defense force near London is still weaker.

As for the ground warning and detection system? The British naturally arranged it. Even at the beginning of the war, in order to prevent the possible bombing of Zeppelin, the British did deploy observation posts and communication transfer stations from the coastline, as well as a certain number of anti-aircraft artillery. But unfortunately, the British waited for nearly two. Years, nothing waited...

And now, when the situation on the frontline has deteriorated unprecedentedly, a considerable part of these materials and personnel originally used for aerial security have been transferred to the frontline, especially after the Luftwaffe recently launched a strategic offensive. Radio equipment and so on were used to strengthen the British Army on the Western Front. Although this system cannot be called a virtual reality, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced!

In theory, this is the case, but what about the actual effect? Obviously even worse! Let’s not talk about the basic law that the actual situation is generally not as good as the theory. Just talk about the UK, which has never done an emergency volley in actual combat, even if they find the target? Can the British accurately predict the target? How long does it take for the ground air team to take off and fly to the target? And don’t forget that the German fleet is moving. With the current aircraft’s flying speed and basic equipment, how to ensure that the target’s position data is always updated? All these can be done after a long period of training and even actual combat testing. However, the situation of the British Air Force is that the situation is changing too fast, and the British have no time to adapt to the situation from offensive to defensive!

What’s even more frightening is that the prince is nothing but a big deal once he decides to do it! This is not a small fleet of thirty or forty aircraft. In the first air strike, the number of bombers used by the Luftwaffe is likely to exceed 700! With the addition of fighter jets, the intensity of air strikes directly far exceeds the highest value of British Air Force defense. After all, the total number of fighter squadrons deployed in London is now about 10, and they are still dominated by second-line training troops. If you expect them to effectively kill the German fleet, let's go to sleep!

As for the British can mobilize the air fleet from other places? Naturally it is possible, but now the sky of the Allied Powers is full of holes. The hole on the other side of London was filled, and the hole on the Western Front came out. Anyway, this strategic bombing will not last too long. When the British air force returns to guard the capital, perhaps the ground war on the western front should also start? At that time, the Luftwaffe would naturally need to drop the bomb on the Western Front instead of London!

If we talk about the strategic significance of this operation, it can actually be summarized as a bright spot. The first point is to strike a certain degree of attacks on important facilities in the City of London and to deter the people. And the second point is to continue to mobilize the British already very weak air defense capabilities, so that the British can relocate more antiaircraft artillery and aircraft to their homeland. In order to pave the way for future armored forces offensive. That's right, you read that right, it is for the armored forces to attack ordinary roads. You know, anti-aircraft guns are still very powerful at hitting tanks and armored vehicles! If the British deployed all kinds of antiaircraft artillery at the front door in order to guard London and other places, it would be a profit! After all, in addition to the antiaircraft artillery, there are also a large number of artillery, personnel and other auxiliary equipment returning to the British mainland.

(For the role of strategic bombing, the author has always believed that the defense should be considered to prevent strategic bombing in technical equipment investment. Think about the tens of thousands of 88mm and above antiaircraft artillery deployed in Western Europe in World War II and no less than antiaircraft artillery. With the number of searchlights, thousands of radars, and hundreds of thousands of personnel, you can feel the strategic bombing, even if sometimes the bombs are thrown inaccurately, but from the perspective of containing the energy and materials of the other party, in fact, Already made a lot of money.)

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lieutenant General Halder delivered the plan for this air strike to London, England. In this plan, the Luftwaffe’s air strike on London, England was divided into two stages. The first stage In China, the Luftwaffe will gather various aircraft fleets to launch large-scale air strikes in London and surrounding areas every day. This period of time may last 3 to 5 days. The key targets are the British munitions factories, machinery factories, port stations and other facilities in London. The specific implementation time is to set off in the early morning, and then enter the battlefield around 7 am to 8 am. Because the visibility is still very low when starting in the early morning, it is difficult for the British long-range alert to function, and when they arrive on the battlefield, it is already In the daytime, the target can be bombarded more precisely.

(No way, in fact, the prince also extended the duration of the air raid, but in the previous few weeks of fighting, the Luftwaffe was also very depleted, and the aircraft attendance rate was also declining, in order to ensure that it would not affect the future. For the offensive, the Luftwaffe must use its power carefully.)

The second stage is called the suppression stage. Although the German aviation force is strong, it is not limited to get the British through continuous strategic bombing. The upcoming ground offensive also needs the continuous support of the air force. Therefore, in the next paragraph Over time, the bombing intensity of the Air Force will inevitably drop. In the second stage, the Luftwaffe will dispatch about 200 aircraft a day to continue harassing attacks on London. The time may not be during the day, but it may be at night. The function is to allow the British to use their limited military resources. London is not on the Western Front.

Later, the staff of the Luftwaffe General Command marked the locations that were to be targeted for bombing on the map. The main targets of the attacks were towns, military ports, and warehouses. When choosing a target, the prince also avoided facilities such as residential areas, churches, and hospitals. Attacking these places was inhumane. Moreover, there is no military value, and it is more likely to cause disgust from the neutral. At this level of war, these additional negative effects need to be paid attention to. After all, Ruprecht will also need political reputation in the future.

As for the accuracy of night bombing? Don't talk about it now, even in World War II, sometimes night bombings are all measured in kilometers... I wanted to bomb a factory, but the bombs were all dropped on residential areas 2 blocks away. It is absolutely normal.

The prince can only say that there is no way, he can only do his best.
