Camel fighters and cuckoo attack aircraft are neatly arranged on the decks of the 4 aircraft carriers. All aircraft have been prepared and positioned. Except for some personnel commanding the aircraft to take off, most of the ground crew have left the deck. When the windshield at the front of the aircraft carrier was lowered, the strong sea breeze swept across the entire deck instantly, making the operators a little unstable. The machine guns and bombs of the aircraft flashed coldly under the lights. The propeller began to rotate slowly, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group had been loaded with bullets, ready to go.
"The reconnaissance aircraft of the German fleet discovered us, but their fleet still has no intention of speeding up and leaving." Lieutenant Admiral Duff said calmly.
"I see, send a telegram to Lieutenant General Thomas and Major General Hood, and Major General Hood will be assigned to Lieutenant General Thomas." Jericho ordered.
"If this is the case, the main force of the large fleet will not even have a high-speed battleship!" Lieutenant Admiral Duff said in surprise.
"Thomas is the only one who can bite the opponent and cause damage. We are nothing more than a tool to entangle the opponent and a meat shield to be beaten. Sacrificing us and creating opportunities for the fast fleet is what we should do, so I will Give Thomas the best things, and only hope that he can hit the Hipper fleet in the first round!" Jericho said.
In the 40 minutes before the engagement, Jericho finally sorted out the tactical details of the engagement. The Germans will certainly not go head-to-head with the British fleet! There are 23 battleships, even if 22 of them are super fearless, but want to engage in artillery battles with 32 British battleships? How confident the Germans must be! Therefore, according to what the previous crown prince did, he should use maneuvering to gain advantage, and then seize the fragility of the huge fleet like a viper, bite it, and then maneuver-look for opportunities-launch an attack , Or wait for the arrival of the Spey fleet.
The two fleets had fought in the North Sea before. The Germans' excellent tactical maneuverability and super high speed left a very deep impression on Jericho. Therefore, this time Jericho will never allow this scene to be performed in the Norwegian Sea! So, at the moment of deciding to take a shot, Jericho had all the chips!
The Thomas Fleet and Hood Fleet are the only ones able to catch up with the German fleet. They will concentrate their forces on the Hipper fleet with the cooperation of Betty’s attack fleet. Although the latter has a higher speed, they are obviously in the battle of the large fleet. It is impossible to leave the main force of the High Seas Fleet to evade the attack of Thomas Fleet.
The British Grand Fleet is to concentrate its absolute superiority locally to severely damage the opponent's squadron. It is better to break one of the other squadrons to say that the point of image is to hurt them! As for the other warships of the High Seas Fleet? Naturally, a large fleet is responsible for the attack. Although in terms of overall strength, the remaining 21 battleships are at a disadvantage against the remaining 19 battleships of the High Seas Fleet, but based on the injury-for-injury approach, if you can start with 11 vs. 4 If the advantage eliminates the Hipper fleet from this battle, it is worthwhile to sink 6 warships in the big fleet!
As for the German High Seas Fleet, will Hipper be assigned additional troops? This is possible, but unless the Germans equip Hipper with 4 Bavarian-class battleships, Thomas, who is supported by Betty Aviation, is still an advantage after all! And if the German High Seas Fleet loses 4 Bavarian-class battleships, then the High Seas Fleet is obviously at a loss in the battle. At this time, Jericho can also try to concentrate with the cooperation of Betty’s second fleet. The Vengeance-class battleship launches a key attack on Ruprecht’s flagship! If it succeeds, it would be more meaningful than damaging the Hipper fleet!
Generally speaking, the large fleet still has a relatively large advantage in terms of fleet strength. At most, the high seas fleet maintains a balance of power or a slight advantage in one direction, while the other is an absolute disadvantage! As for the German aviation power? Jericho’s answer is simple: "Chill, fight hard!" No way, now Betty has used up all his power when ensuring the aviation needs of the Thomas fleet, including the large fleet, facing the German high seas. The fleet's carrier-based aircraft really can only rely on naval guns!
"This is a real **** battle. Each of us is prepared to sacrifice, just to kill more enemies before we fall. The Germans think so too! They are even more decisive than we did! "Lieutenant General Duff wrote in his post-war memoirs.
At the same time, on the flagship Bavaria of the German High Seas Fleet, Ruprecht was doing the same thing as Jericho. He was planning the tactical details of the battle. As Jericho had expected, Ruprecht wouldn't be head-to-head with the British fleet from the start! The core of the German fleet is to take advantage of the carrier-based aircraft. When the carrier-based aircraft arrives on the battlefield and give the German fleet the most explosive power, it will give the British a fierce blow, and then quickly open the distance and wait for the next wave of carrier-based aircraft. The arrival of the plane, or the arrival of the Spey fleet!
That’s right, this is an explosion. It can be understood that all skills are thrown out in an instant, and then they withdraw slowly after the skills cool down, and then go up for a wave!
That's great Who should we choose for this wave of attacks? From the point of view of the importance of the goal, it is of course that Thomas’s 6 Queen-class battleships are the most worthy of killing. However, Ruprecht knows what the queens mean to the large fleet, and Jericho also knows it! Therefore, Ruprecht concluded that Jericho will definitely concentrate a considerable amount of air force to ensure the safety of the Thomas fleet. And how lethal is the shipborne aviation force in this era? The crown prince was still a little worried. After the Spey fleet almost perfectly defended Betty's attack, Ruprecht was more worried...
And on the sea? Even though the Bavarian-class battleships have fierce firepower, it is still difficult to kill the queen in seconds, and once Thomas finds that the situation is not right and immediately screams, then the effect of Ruprecht's skills in this round will be greatly reduced! Because the speed of the two sides is similar, it is really difficult to stop the German fleet. Can't you always expect things like water bombs to hit the power compartment or directly detonate the ammunition depot?
The British air power is limited, and it is impossible to provide adequate cover for the entire large fleet. Therefore, if Thomas’ defense is strong, other places are weak. If the main combat power and aviation power of the high seas fleet are concentrated in these Where the defensive power is relatively weak, it is naturally easier to obtain the result! For example, the big fleet team! Well, which part of the big fleet should we start with?
