Chapter 2204： Interlude One

(Page 1/1)

"Hit the enemy ship with 4 bombs and 2 torpedoes?" Looking at the statistics of the battle report, Betty's expression can be explained by dumbfounding. He really couldn't understand, he concentrated 100 carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack, and he only hit 6 times! This is simply unbearable! "Even if it is a group of monkeys throwing bombs, it will definitely be better than you!" Betty threw the battle report on the table angrily. Just now, this battle report undoubtedly indicates that Betty's hard work and effort for more than a year has been paid. Dongliu, my hopes for a comeback have also vanished. The fruits of this battle are too small, and the effort is too great!

"A full 100 planes! In the end, fewer than 40 came back! And most of them were fighters. Our most elite anti-sea attack aircraft troop fell into the sand, and some squadrons were even wiped out! We lost three in this battle. One part of the crew, next time, we can only guarantee the same scale as this attack." Betty said annoyedly. He didn't know whether the failure of this operation was to blame for his own bad planning or himself. The men are too rubbish.

"This time, we may be more lack of luck." On the battleship Queen Elizabeth, Thomas also got the battle report just finished. Unlike Betty's anger and helplessness, Thomas still analyzes the report very seriously. Then send a telegram to his old boss Jericho to analyze the gains and losses of this battle.

"The German carrier-based aircraft has far exceeded our imagination. It is conservatively estimated that they have at least 70 carrier-based aircraft, and they have released more than 50 fighter jets in this battle. The operating efficiency is much lower than the opponent." Thomas shook his head helplessly.

In the witness reports of multiple pilots, he saw more than one description of the number of German fighter jets—the bee colony, the large number, the overwhelming advantage, etc., have repeatedly appeared in the battle report. And the Germans only have one aircraft carrier, so this conclusion is terrible! The German aircraft carrier has too many aircraft! And if you think about the possibility of four aircraft carriers in the German high seas fleet, that would be terrible!

Another problem is that Betty drew some fighter jets away for air defense before the battle. This move obviously weakened the penetration capability of the attack aircraft group. If 40 fighters instead of 25 aircraft were used for cover, the situation today might be much better. Perhaps, the British bomber group could damage two warships and come back. There will be more planes. Betty's behavior is a bit of a transfer error.

But this problem cannot be blamed entirely on Betty, because when a German plane suddenly appeared nearby, even Thomas was in his heart, so he also acquiesced to Betty's transfer. Although there was a fault, it was considered a cause. And more importantly, the battle has just begun, and Betty will continue to command the aircraft carrier squadron in the future, so this matter can't be mentioned now. As for the post-war matter, let's talk about it.

The two Thomass in front were quickly taken over, and he was more interested in the response of the German Navy! The Germans knew for a long time that the British fleet had aircraft carriers. The original long-range reconnaissance aircraft found traces of British aircraft carriers in the Orkney Islands. Therefore, it is inevitable to be prepared, not to mention the shipborne antiaircraft guns like hedgehogs. Just to say that this time the response of the aircraft carrier in the Spey fleet is very interesting. Facing the overwhelmingly dominant British aircraft carrier squadron, the Germans gave up the attack and fully defended. Thomas even thought that the aircraft carrier was equipped with fighter jets. ! And the effect is really good. It temporarily blocked the opponent's attack with far less power than the attacker. This seems to be worth learning for the British fleet?

Obviously, the current aviation power of the British Great Fleet is obviously weaker than that of the opponent, and the effect from this battle is very poor. Therefore, in the future, Jericho is likely to use the remaining power for defensive operations in order to To offset the aviation advantage of the German High Seas Fleet. This is conservative, but at least safe. As for the German air defense wheel array, Thomas doesn’t look down on it, because when the two sides are fighting, naval guns and carrier-based aircraft may be used together. The line is over.... Isn't this because of a small loss?

So overall, Thomas believes that this defeat was the result of luck, judgment, and the targeted deployment of the opponent, and it is difficult to replicate it again. After re-reading the full text of the report, Thomas sent the telegram out, feeling that there was no omission. On the flagship Iron Duke, Jericho also fell into contemplation. The first battle was not good. This problem was a bit serious. Even now Jericho is a little confused. He doesn't know what to do next.

"A battleship was hit with two aviation torpedoes. The aviation torpedo of a carrier aircraft had a charge of no more than 90 kilograms, and two shots of no more than 180 kilograms of explosives. The threat to the thick-skinned German fast battleship is limited. The Spey fleet still has Ability to maintain high-speed navigation. Our attack did not bite them, and now we are too far away from the North Sea Blockade. The main force of the German High Seas Fleet may already be able to pass through the Shetland Islands tonight, right?" Jericho Frowning and said Jericho finally found out that this was a conspiracy, a very clever conspiracy that used his own psychology! The Spey fleet is like a decoy, attracting himself. The crown prince must know that he will not fight night battles with the High Seas Fleet as a last resort. The price is too high and there are too many accidents. Therefore, he threw the Spey fleet and made Jericho feel that he could eat this partial division.

However, he assigned a very sufficient self-defense force to this fleet, even including an aircraft carrier! The opponent is basically a complete defense, and at the same time using the time difference, the Betty fleet can only attack once! The attacking power of the large fleet just did not exceed the defense of the opponent, so there is no doubt that Spey, the cunning prey, bit the bait but spit out the hook! The Germans gained time and selected the battlefield in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, which is not suitable for the large fleet!

Jericho thinks he already knows the other side's next script. Obviously, the Spey fleet will turn to the northeast tonight and sail to a certain point in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea. The main force of the high seas fleet that has passed through the North Sea will also It will sail north. At this time, the large fleet can't catch up with the Spey fleet, and at the same time, there is no time to intercept the high seas fleet. The so-called "bamboo basket" is what it means!
