Chapter 2190： Full deck defense II

(Page 1/1)

"It should be like this, but the other party's location has been roughly determined. Let the aircraft in other directions approach the area where the No. 4 reconnaissance plane is responsible for reconnaissance." Sims said.

"This is only an incomplete telegram. How did you determine the position of the imaginary enemy?" Su Xiong expressed doubts about the Americans' judgment.

"Although this telegram is incomplete, it has already told us a lot. After the fleet departs, a telegram will be sent back every 15 minutes. If the telegram is sent less than 15 minutes apart, there are only two possibilities, one The target may be found, and the other may be attacked. In the telegram, C indicates that the aircraft found the target, and A indicates that the target was attacked. Although the No. 4 reconnaissance plane did not tell us the exact location of the other party, it saw the two letters CA We know what happened to this plane." Sims said with a smile.

"However, the rest can be determined by other reconnaissance aircraft. We can also retreat to the target position according to the reconnaissance aircraft's preset route. You know very well that the speed of a reconnaissance aircraft is generally 90 per hour. About a kilometer, we can quickly determine a lot of information based on time." An American officer next to him said.

In any case, the Americans' reconnaissance and guidance were pretty good. After half an hour, the other two reconnaissance planes determined the position of the German fleet and sent them to the USS Independence by telegraph, which also meant that the exercise entered In the second stage, the Independence air defense exercise kicked off!

Before the arrival of the enemy aircraft, the USS Independence made the final defense preparations. More than a dozen fighter jets were lifted from the hangar to the deck and positioned and discharged. The Americans released 8 more fighters, which together with the original 12 planes in the sky formed a defensive belt. This time the Americans fully considered the different attack routes of bombers and torpedo planes, so they deliberately strengthened their low-altitude defenses. One plane is at high altitude, and the other eight are in mid-air, so that torpedo aircraft entering the battlefield can be intercepted at any time.

"Repeat again, your first target is a torpedo plane! The second target is a bomber! Follow me, don't get separated!" Before departure, the squadron leader repeated this interception mission for his men again!

"Then what if the enemy's plane bites our butt?" a pilot asked.

"Then kill an enemy bomber before you get shot down, that's it!" The squadron leader replied very simply.

At the same time that the US carrier-based fighter jets took off to prepare for the interception mission, on the island, a group of American legions also marked something on the huge drawing board. They placed the blue model representing their own fighter aircraft around the aircraft carrier. Mark the height and status. Subsequently, the collected enemy intelligence was also marked on the drawing board to make it easier for the commander to understand the situation.

"The idea is good, but it is somewhat out of reality." Count Spey whispered to Lieutenant General Su Xiong next to him. When this fighter is rarely equipped with radio, it is almost impossible to transmit data in real time. There is a serious lag in command and coordination. Therefore, the effectiveness of air interception basically depends on the pilot's own quality and luck. By the way, there are also the number of planes!

However, the performance of the U.S. Air Force is actually worse than the earl thought. It is not just that the U.S. Air Force pilots lack actual combat and are at a disadvantage in fighting, but more importantly, they lack tactics, or that the Germans are too cunning. Up.

The German fighters actually entered the field about half an hour earlier than the attack planes. At a long distance, it is difficult to distinguish between fighters and attack planes with the naked eye, so American fighter groups can only go up and fight! And as long as the two sides meet. Regardless of whether the Americans can play, they are inherently disadvantaged! Because, according to combat training, the ammunition and fuel for intercepting aircraft are reserved for bombers! And because of the early engagement, the unused auxiliary fuel tank must also be discarded first. And this caused insufficient stagnation time.

However, the skills of the American pilots who can come to the war are not bad. Although they lack some experience, they are considered to have fought back and forth. Although they have been fooled, some loopholes have appeared in the defense line, but they are still blocked. The opponent! Then, the Americans ushered in the second wave of flickering!

"I found them? At 10 o'clock, on the sea!" Lieutenant Schott said loudly to his colleagues next to him, and rushed down first. He could see very clearly that the plane was a German torpedo, and Entering the battlefield from the direction with the sun behind his back, if it were not for his sharp eyes, he might have gone wrong. Lieutenant Schott, who has been on standby in the air, would naturally not miss this opportunity, so four fighter jets roared down towards the sea. Three torpedo aircraft launched an attack.

However, what the Americans did not expect was that the torpedo attack aircraft this time was indeed real, but it was only a decoy. When the Germans attacked the torpedo aircraft, the German fighters hidden in the clouds also roared down, and feinted. At that time, the Luftwaffe fighter jets attacked differently. This time, the Germans focused their attacks on one point and directly penetrated the defense of the USS Independence!

"Too cunning!" In the end, 8 torpedo planes broke through the defense of the U.S. Naval Air Force, and two torpedoes hit the ship's side According to the judgment of the exercise, Independence had lost its combat effectiveness. The destroyer was salvaging the torpedo on the sidestring, General Sims said helplessly and unconvincingly.

(Yes, you read that right, it is to salvage the torpedo after the launch. How can you just throw a torpedo like a torpedo? The torpedo used for the exercise is generally recycled after it is used up.)

"Are our requirements higher?" Su Xiong beside him was also a little embarrassed, and whispered to Earl Spey. "After all, the British have only 4 aircraft carriers, and they carry a small amount of aircraft, so their attack power is relatively limited."

"I feel that the British land-based aviation power may still have remnants, and may not be able to deal with the high seas fleet, but against us, the problem should not be big, we should pay more attention." Earl Spey said seriously. Although the European rumor that one country lost a country because of a horseshoe is a bit exaggerated, at a critical moment of the war, it is still very possible that some aspects of the carelessness will cause serious consequences. The so-called lenient for the enemy means this!

"But it is already difficult for us to strengthen the air defense force." Su Xiong said depressed.

"Each battleship bring more disposable aircraft. Also ask Sims if they accept German pilots or air combat commanders." Count Spey said.
