Chapter 1693 The gradually improving plan 1

"Under the current circumstances, the aircraft carrier is very vulnerable, and its most dangerous enemy also comes from the air! In the German High Seas Fleet's combat plan, the aircraft carrier is in a non-combatant area. The high seas fleet's huge battleship fleet and relative comparison Sufficient escort warships can effectively provide shielding for the aircraft carrier fleet. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, relying on the light cruisers and destroyers around the aircraft carrier, even if a British light cruiser approaches the aircraft carrier fleet, there is still no need to worry."

"But the threat in the air is very huge. Even if we can achieve very good radio control and detection, in this naval battle, even the Japanese Navy's seaplanes can track our carrier-based aircraft to find the location of the aircraft carrier. Then If it were the British, they would definitely be able to find us, but we can only delay the process, but not completely prevent it."

"As a result, the aircraft carrier will face attacks from British bombers sooner or later. Maybe the attack power of the carrier-based aircraft on the British aircraft carrier is not worth mentioning, but the combat effectiveness of the British FB27 and O400 series bombers must still be worthy of respect. of."

Rear Admiral Rodhart felt very painful when he thought of the British FB27 bombers and the powerful torpedoes and bombs they carried. After considering these things, he originally felt that the scale of 400 carrier-based aircraft on five aircraft carriers might not be enough. It’s really not much…. After all, according to German intelligence, the entire British Royal Navy has more than 800 twin-engine aircraft. It is true that many of these aircraft are seaplanes performing anti-submarine missions, and many flight crews have no experience in sea attacks at all. Taking into account the battlefield situation and the attendance rate of aircraft, only a few can be present. But don't say more, as long as 100 twin-engine bombers enter the site with bombs and torpedoes, it will be huge for the German fleet. pressure! This is also one of the important reasons why the German High Seas Fleet was relatively honest during this period...

You must know that the prince's goal is to completely damage the British fleet, which means that no matter what, the two sides will maintain contact for a long time. Counting from the time when the two largest fleets in the world contact the main fleet, the two sides will mark 5 Hours are possible! And even if the British want to leave, the Germans have to chase them. There are not many opportunities, and if they are lost, they may never happen again!

Therefore, it can be expected that in this war, the German fleet will definitely face attacks from British land-based aviation. The only question is when the opponent will come! Compared with battleships, aircraft carriers are quite fragile. After combining the damage effects of bombs in actual combat and experiments with the strength of one's own aircraft carriers, Rodhart can determine that perhaps a 250KG bomb will not destroy the largest ship in the High Seas Fleet. The aircraft carrier was severely damaged, but if it was a 1,000-pound bomb, if the position was good, it could really make the aircraft carrier lose its aviation capabilities, and even cause a fire in the hangar. If you are unlucky, just GG will be bad.

Regarding this situation, Major General Rodhart's opinion is that in addition to the first wave of attacks,

For the remaining attack waves, all aircraft refueling and ammunition replenishment can only be done on the deck. Except for parking aircraft, all supply activities are prohibited inside the hangar. In this case, even if they are hit, a large amount of energy will be dissipated to in the air without affecting the hull. At the same time, the fire prevention and damage control capabilities of warships were strengthened. In Rear Admiral Rodhart's report, he strongly requested to increase half of the fire extinguishing agent reserves and at least 30% of the fire damage control team members. He also requested that all fire damage control team members be increased. Equipped with anti-shield masks, fire-proof suits and other equipment, otherwise, if a fire breaks out, all the damage control team members will be deployed before the battleship is deployed, which would be embarrassing...

In addition to passively improving damage control capabilities, Major General Rodhart also requested to increase the fleet's early warning capabilities and resistance to aviation forces. This is also the lesson that this naval battle taught the rear admiral. It would be too troublesome if there were no reconnaissance ships and aircraft around the aircraft carrier fleet to provide warning.

In the North Sea, the air defense observation posts on the water have to face another problem, and that is bad weather. This so-called bad weather does not simply mean that the clouds are thick and the waves are empty. In this case, it is better for the aircraft to hit the warship. The worst thing is that if the cloud layer is relatively low, then the aircraft flying above the cloud layer will greatly weaken the early warning capability of the surface aviation observation post! After all, in the second battle, whether it is a sea attack or an air battle, using cloud cover is a very common tactic!

On the day of the battle, the German Navy could not determine the height of the clouds, so it had to have aerial reconnaissance forces to keep an eye on the fleet, and this required long-range patrol aircraft or even airships! Although the German airships are indeed big and good, the British Royal Navy also has airships! And there are quite a few, more than 100 ships! If the moment comes to decide the fate of both sides, the British airship will definitely serve as the fleet's reconnaissance force.

Therefore, if you want to wipe sweat from your coat in the fish pond in the North Sea, the German land-based aviation must also go all out. If necessary, a large number of aviation forces must be mobilized from the Air Force to support the Navy. Fortunately, Germany is the attacking party and has the upper hand.

Therefore, Major General Rodhart compiled a very large-scale land-based aviation support plan! In this plan, Major General Rodhart divided the land-based aviation group into three parts. The first part was a reconnaissance and anti-submarine detachment composed of airships and long-range patrol aircraft. Yes, you read that right, it is anti-submarine. To be honest, the British have a lot of submarines, although the British do not use submarines to break up engagements. But these submarines can still be used in the North Sea to deploy submarine cordons. As for their use? This should be of some use, right?

Therefore, the first part of the surveillance and anti-submarine aircraft fleet must take care of both tasks. Major General Rodhart requires some airship units to accompany the fleet, while the other part of the long-range reconnaissance aircraft must take the initiative to sort out the entire battlefield like a comb. The anti-submarine aircraft fleet will also maneuver around the fleet to suppress submarines that may appear. It does not require aircraft to sink the submarines, just suppress them so that they dare not come out of the water.

In addition to the most basic visual reconnaissance, these reconnaissance aircraft will also carry equipment such as radio monitoring and positioning, using radio technology to enhance the scope and intensity of reconnaissance.
