Chapter 1207 The arrival of a new era 1
The distance between the main fleet and the aircraft carrier should be about 40 kilometers. This distance ensures the aircraft carrier's operating space and also ensures that the aircraft carrier will hardly be attacked by British surface and aviation forces! But this distance is definitely not the distance from which the attack is launched. After encountering the British fleet, the High Seas Fleet should try to get closer to the aircraft carrier before entering fire contact. In other words, we should lure the opponent to move closer to the place we set, and control the main fleets of both sides. Aircraft carrier squadron distance! Before the battleships of both sides deploy, reconnaissance aircraft equipped with complete communication equipment should descend over the British fleet, and then identify the models and locations of the British battleships!
At the beginning of the battle between the fleets of both sides, the aircraft carrier should have at least completed releasing its aircraft. Calculated from this time, the time it takes for the attack group to complete its formation and arrive on the battlefield should not exceed 35 minutes! When writing this, the prince couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, and then poked his somewhat numb head. He wanted to know, when Scheer and Hipper learned that they needed to fight with the large fleet for more than half an hour to get it. How dissatisfied or angry you will be when you support! This is a real head-to-head confrontation between the two sides!
Although it is not easy for the British to sink a German warship, if they fight for half an hour, as long as their luck is not particularly bad, a warship will hit more than 7 shells on average, right? German warships may win more, but there is no way, the British have more warships... It is also normal for some slow-speed battleships to slow down due to damage and flooding. In this case, the German main fleet will bear considerable risks!
Then it’s time to harvest! The prince turned the page and began to write the third point. Carrier-based aircraft attack guide! About 60 aircraft carried torpedoes! There are no less than this number of dive bombers launching bombings! Of course, it looks spectacular, but thanks to the poor radios of this era, once an attack is launched, it really depends on luck to communicate with each other and cooperate. It's definitely not possible to go up in a swarm. The fleet cannot be deployed at all and it can easily lead to chaos. So this can only be entered in batches.
"The targets attacked by the aviation force can be divided into two categories. One category is targets that need to be completely eradicated, such as the British Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and Revenge-class battleships. These targets need to be hit with bombs first and then executed with torpedoes! And the other One type of target needs to be suppressed, that is, those that are not particularly threatening, but are definitely in the way. For example, the British super-dreadnought equipped with 13.5-inch cannons! These warships are still very powerful after they are equipped with green bombs. ! It is necessary to use heavy bombs for suppression to reduce the pressure on the main fleet, and at the same time, attack if there are remaining torpedoes."
"When the attack group enters, it is based on the principle of bombers entering first and torpedo planes following. Theoretically, a capital ship should not be assigned more than 20 attack aircraft. The attack aircraft unit can return on its own after completing the attack, while the fighter unit should try to Maintain air superiority in the combat area! Only after most of the attack aircraft have completed their attacks can they return."
"After the first wave of attacks was launched, it took about an hour and a half for the attack fleet to return.
At this time, the aircraft carrier squadron should be able to mobilize the second wave of attacking aircraft! The number of aircraft in this wave of attacks should not be less than 100, of which the number of torpedo planes and bombers should be around 60! "
In line with the requirement of maximizing output, in this situation where the battleship squadron is bleeding and provides an output environment, it would be a crime if the aircraft carrier squadron launched a wave of attacks! The 300 aircraft carried by the four aircraft carriers mentioned before is actually a conservative figure. If deck tethering and ticketing are taken into account, it is not difficult for an aircraft carrier to carry more than 75 aircraft. Therefore, with about 180 single-engine aircraft released in the first wave, it is not a big problem to take more than an hour to release a wave of attack aircraft. Of course, after this wave is over, the combat effectiveness of these aircraft carriers will almost be exhausted...
As for what to do if so many planes come back for recycling... Well, the prince thought about it, it is impossible for all the planes that have gone out to come back. A batch of them will be destroyed in the battle, and then the attack planes will be recycled first, because the pilots of the attack planes are more expensive, and the planes are also more expensive... As for fighter jets? You can recover whatever you can. If it's not possible, just pick up the pilot and be done with it. Just throw the plane into the sea... Aren’t they just consumables anyway? As the world's second largest industrial power, we should be more open-minded about these things...
What effect is such a wave of attacks going to achieve? "If we are lucky, we can hope to kill five of the opponent's battleships in one wave. Of course, this cannot all be attributed to the aviation unit. Before the aircraft attacks, our battleship detachment needs to first inflict some damage on them. In addition, We can also make at least no less than five battleships temporarily lose their attack capabilities." said the prince's aviation staff.
This so-called killing may not be done on the spot. It may be that after slowing down or seriously injuring it, it was forced to stay during the retreat and was killed by the High Seas Fleet. This situation is possible. With all the assets of the High Seas Fleet, more than 20 Dreadnoughts and Dreadnoughts can be assembled.
If the large fleet is suddenly attacked, for example, five main battleships are severely damaged by naval guns and torpedoes, and several others are bombed, causing the fire control system to be destroyed or other reasons to greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, then for the British fleet, It just collapsed! If the firepower of 10 battleships is reduced, the Grand Fleet may not be as numerous as the High Seas Fleet. At that time, they will have no choice but to leave, and in this way, those severely damaged battleships will have no chance to return. Seidlitz can carry 5,000 Tons of water followed the main fleet back to Wilhelmshaven, but British warships did not have this ability. Not to mention auxiliary battleships such as light cruisers and destroyers. These battleships can only delay time. If the main fleet itself has no resistance, then no matter how NB these battleships are, they will be torn into pieces by hundreds of heavy guns of the High Seas Fleet!
And it may take less than 45 minutes of aviation attack to complete all this! In these 45 minutes, the output of the German High Seas Fleet will reach its maximum! There were more than 20 main battleships plus two waves of nearly 270 or more aircrafts bombing indiscriminately! Not to mention killing most of the large fleet in one wave, but it can still be done to make the large fleet lose its advantage forever! Of course, this is your only chance! The next time a British aircraft carrier appears, or the large fleet shrinks in the local air defense circle, it may be difficult to fight! However, by that time, the war will be almost over, right?
