Chapter 1203 The era when naval guns and aircraft coexisted
The British could think of using torpedo attack warships, and the prince could also think of deploying lightning protection nets on the berths of all main battleships, and moving most of the ammunition away when they are fine. Anyway, they would not go out in a short time. The former blocks the torpedo, and the latter defends against bomb initiation! Prepare some floating boxes.&1t;/p>
As for the most efficient method, it is naturally to transfer the fleet to the Baltic Sea, but in order to put pressure on the British fleet and to attract British bombers to fall into the trap. The prince still left some fleets in the North Sea! That's right, it's to attract British bombers to bomb! Think about it, the cost of an O-4oo bomber is around 9 ooo pounds, which is about the cost of two tanks, and a V15oo will cost at least 25,000 pounds! Plus the pilots above. The projection of long-distance bombers is not large. In fact, if there were no United States, Britain in the second battle would definitely not blow up the Germans, let alone now?&1t;/p>
After the German Emperor left, the prince, at the port of Kiel, the German naval generals and commanders of the Bavarian Air Force, began to discuss how the German fleet should fight in the future after adding aircraft carriers. This is an unprecedented question. Even as a time traveler, I don’t know what output the aviation force can produce in this era! To be honest, in history, aircraft carriers from the United States and Japan participated in military exercises after the 20s. And now? The aviation technology is obviously several levels worse, and it is difficult to rely solely on aircraft carriers to produce output. There must be output, but it is definitely not possible to rely solely on aircraft carriers. Just relying on the hit rate of current horizontal bombers, as well as torpedoes with only more than 4 kilograms, and carrier-based aircraft with a range of only more than 2 kilometers. What output do you want to produce?&1t;/p>
"A large number of attack aircraft groups are fatal to a single ship, but if they attack enemies of the size of a large fleet, then the seemingly huge attack aircraft groups will be scattered by the huge number of the opponent. Considering the seaplanes carried by the British fleet itself, the idea of trying to rely on aircraft of four aircraft carriers to shake the entire fleet is not feasible." Lieutenant General Schell said as he looked at the fleets on both sides on the huge sand table.&1t;/p>
"And we must also note that the actual release of aircraft carriers is up to 60% of the total number. In other words, there are only 18o aircraft in a 3o aircraft that can be released in an attack, and if the necessary fighter jets are discharged, the remaining attack aircraft will be around 12o to 13o. And these aircraft cannot all carry deadly torpedoes, and one-third of the torpedo capabilities is good, that is, the real threat to our attack is actually 4o to 5o torpedoes." Major General Wade from the Bavarian Air Force said.&1t;/p>
"After a wave of attacks, it may take more than an hour to prepare the remaining planes and then send them out. If we really want to fight with the large fleet, hold on for an hour? This may cost a lot." Hippel touched his chin and asked questions. Although the high seas fleet and the large fleet have also met several times and have taken advantage of it, if the battle line is really opened and the two sides fight to the death for more than an hour, the German Navy will not say that it will not be able to defeat it, but the price is really high.&1t;/p>
"Can we do this? Before the fleets between the two sides fight, we send aircraft to harassment operations, which can concentrate our efforts to attack a certain British battleship squad, or delay their actions and disrupt their formation. We will strive for a better situation for us. The aircraft carrier squad can be behind the battleship squad so that they can avoid British shells and torpedoes." Major General von Lefytov said.&1t;/p>
"This can be done. It is very risky for the fleet, but at the same time it cannot fully utilize the role of the carrier-based aircraft. Because we divide the power that was originally intended to be used in one strike into two strikes, so that the other party will be more convenient to deal with it. I wonder if you have noticed it. The British seem to have equipped some conventional take-off and landing aircraft in the fleet. These aircraft are not equipped with floaters. They completely treat these aircraft as anti-aircraft artillery shells as single-use weapons!" The prince put down a document in his hand and said.&1t;/p>
You don't understand the so-called rich world. Fighters are used as disposable weapons. Is this generous enough? In fact, the British have really done this. In the second battle, in order to deal with the German long-range bomber F2oo. The British specially modified some merchant ships, with the top spitfire or hurricane on it. F2oo came and flew directly to take off. After the fight, the plane was thrown directly into the sea and caught the pilot. In this plane, the British practiced this tactic in the first battle...&1t;/p>
This means that the British fleet's air defense capabilities may be greatly improved. After all, the difference between the same aircraft and the buoy or not is too big. According to the principle of air defense, the opponent only needs to kill the attack aircraft carrying bombs and torpedoes. Such a wave of 18o aircraft rushing up will definitely cause some losses to the British, but it is hard to say how much the loss is. Moreover, as a carefully trained pilot, if the loss is too large, the naval aviation may not be able to relieve himself for two months!&1t;/p>
The prince also disagrees with von Lefcoff's opinion. In addition to dispersing his strength, more importantly, no matter how powerful the tactics are, they can only be used for the first time. If this battle cannot severely damage the British, then the next time, even if the German Navy does better, it may not be able to achieve much results. After all, the British can learn and prevent them in advance! The prince has no doubt that the British may have begun to consider building a pure aircraft carrier for the large fleet. At least a certain amount of fighter aircraft is installed on it, and the attack power of the German aircraft carrier will definitely be greatly reduced. To be honest, this technical barrier is actually not as high as everyone imagined! After the British suffered a loss, they will soon find a way to deal with it, so the prince plans to make the large fleet bleeding for the first time! Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight later...&1t;/p>
