Chapter 2678： There is no answer three

"So how did your country solve the problem of air defense?" Su Xiong asked.

"Prince Ruprecht once said that offense is the best defense. Before the other party beats us down, we will beat them first! We will concentrate all the carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier to launch an attack. Hand, kill them in one wave! As for defense? We are more inclined to disperse the aircraft carrier squad. In this case, we always have aircraft carriers that can survive the Japanese attack." Mitchell said.

"Don't you put all your eggs in one basket?" Su Xiong said. Su Xiong actually disagrees with the Americans’ methods of warfare. It’s not that he believes that the American’s destined to lose some aircraft carriers in the battle is unreasonable. In fact, war is a kind of exchange. There is no loss here, and it is impossible to defeat the opponent. Even though the German High Seas Fleet is strong, with the prowess of Crown Prince Ruprecht, in the final Norwegian Sea battle, facing the British fleet that has been weakened many times, the Crown Prince still chooses to let Hipper be the decoy. Therefore, reasonable losses are allowed.

The most important thing is, if the aircraft carrier is dispersed, what about this specific operation? Su Xiong has been on a navy carrier plane. He has a very clear view of the air force in fine weather. When you are on the sea level, two fleets may not be able to find each other if they are 20 kilometers together. But if you are in the air, this distance is not a big deal. For a carrier-based aircraft, it may be ten minutes away. This degree of dispersion may not have any effect at all in actual combat.

However, if the fleet is dispersed, how to coordinate the attack waves of different aircraft carriers? The most taboo thing in a war is to add fuel tactics. Attacks that could have been fought out in one wave have become several wavelets, which will lengthen the attack time, reduce the attack intensity, and make your own attacks weak.

In fact, the Germans’ current aircraft carrier tactics are also focused on defeating their opponents, but the Germans are more pure! If you take the aircraft carriers of the German High Seas Fleet as an example, if you really meet a well-matched opponent, the Germans will gather 4 to 5 aircraft carriers together, and then shoot out nearly half of the fleet in one wave. Before the opponent's attack wave arrived, the second wave of aircraft was released. Then began to defend with all his strength, as much as possible. In the exercise, this kind of tactics is actually relatively efficient, but no one knows how it is in actual combat.

After a round of exchanges between the two sides, the Americans were more pleased. First of all, they could be sure that most of the Germans were telling the truth. When the U.S. Navy asked, there were some traps, but the Germans managed to avoid them. So from a rational analysis point of view, the Germans are quite interesting to allies. Secondly, the Americans found that the Germans also did not have a truly mature system for the use of aircraft carriers. Compared with the gap in the combat power of the battleship detachments of the two sides, the Americans felt that the gap in their use of aircraft carriers was not large. After some trials, the Germans eliminated the tactics currently implemented by the Americans, and the Americans also knew the tactics the Germans had tried before. Obviously, Su Xiong only said half of it, and did not mention the problem of this tactic and possible remedies, while the Americans have almost fully explained the current tactics.

So, after finishing the general discussion on aircraft carrier tactics, Mitchell began to discuss the specific details of the implementation of this campaign with Su Xiong.

"My idea is very simple. The planes that carry daily aerial reconnaissance are provided by our battleships and seaplane carriers. The aircraft carrier Constellation is fully loaded and attacked. If we meet a Japanese battleship, then I will let Meike The Rumburgh and the aircraft carrier were separated. The carrier-based aircraft first launched an attack, and then the battleship went up to make up the knife. If we find two Japanese warships and evacuate in different directions, then we can only perform the tasks separately, Mecklenburg and Constellation Each will chase one ship, but I will assign Constellation to an independent destroyer squad. After the bombing is over, the destroyer will send each other to the bottom of the sea." Su Xiong said.

"In terms of combat effectiveness, we have an absolute advantage, but the problem is how we find the opponent. This is the key to the problem." Mitchell said.

"In fact, I chose a tricky direction. When the U.S. Navy is looking at Australia, then we only need to look at New Zealand. New Zealand is very small and there are not many large ships passing by. Then just wait for the Japanese fleet to cast its own net!" Su Xiong said.

"Of course, we have to hide ourselves as much as possible, so our route is like this." Su Xiong used a pencil to outline the route of his fleet on the map, not only avoiding the busy commercial routes, but even all radios. The island of communication equipment is also avoided. The armed merchant ships and camouflage reconnaissance ships assigned to Su Xiong are divided into two parts. One part is evenly distributed in areas where Japanese troops may be evacuated. The Japanese fleet is searched by water planes and radios, while the other part is responsible for certain “special targets”. "Stalking The Su Xiong fleet itself cannot stare at all ships, nor can it wait for the fleet to search for all ships. Whether it can be one aspect, and avoiding turbulence is another aspect. For those most likely suspects, Su Xiong meant to use disguised merchant ships for tracking. The dumb machine does make intelligence difficult to decipher, but its seemingly chaotic content will also make it very special. It can even be said that Dangyi When a ship uses a dumb machine to send a report, it can already be determined that he is a British and Japanese military ship!

Therefore, if the tracking is good, you can completely solve the opponent!

Seven days later, when Mecklenburg was ready for the final warfare, she sailed out of Pearl Harbor with the aircraft carrier Constellation and the seaplane carrier Saipan, escorted by a light cruiser and eight destroyers. In addition to receiving supplies along the way, they rushed towards New Zealand at a speed of more than 20 knots per hour. Before the departure of the German fleet, the US Navy’s blockade fleet had quietly arrived off the coast of Australia, while a greater number of camouflaged reconnaissance ships and armed merchant ships were distributed in the eastern Pacific. An invisible web has been completely unfolded, and the Japanese and the British still know nothing about it!
