Chapter 1952: Pre-War Preparations One
The British know how to constantly improve their equipment and strategies and tactics, and the Germans naturally know it too. Don't think that this is just a simple bombing, this is a battle, and with the air battle that broke out over the Strait of Dover and nearby areas, the Germans need to raise a tactical behavior to a strategic level, something like Evolve the armored assault into a large-depth battle theory.
So, what is the difference between tactics and strategy? In Prince's view, tactics are more about using deceit, using various factors to create a good combat environment. Strategy, on the other hand, is a way to respond to all changes with the same, so as to form a complete military system.
For example, the prince’s famous battle in the naval battle of World War I—the Battle of Dogal Sandbank. In this battle, the prince perfectly interpreted the meaning of fraud and the art of using equipment with various actions! Before the outbreak of the battle, Ruprecht hid his strength very well. The powerful Bavarian-class battleship almost appeared from the British's vision, making them think that this class of battleship would not appear on the battlefield.
Then the prince used the continuous harassment of the Hipper fleet to attract the attention of the British, allowing them to gradually "grasp" the Germans' laws of action, and let the British formulate an ambush plan based on this. And when the time was right, the prince decisively brought out the most elite forces to fight against the ambush plan made by the British for the German battlecruiser unit! A trap that was originally intended to contain rabbits was suddenly used to deal with elephants, so the result is naturally clear. The trap was easily torn, and the person who made the trap was also killed by the angry elephant!
This is cheating, you can do it once or twice! But there are too many, and it will be very difficult to let the other party be fooled again. For example, now that the war has been going on for more than two years, both sides are constantly using fraud, but when it reaches a certain level, when both sides choose a conservative and safe method Afterwards, when the systems of both parties gradually made up for the previous loopholes, the effect of this kind of deceit was very small. Then if you want to win again at this time, you can only go straight!
And the so-called just front is the strategic system. This is like the realm breakthrough in the later generations of Xianxia. Once a breakthrough is made, it will crush low-level opponents. It is true that the opponent can continue to use tactics to gain some advantages, but these advantages are offset by the complete system, and in the end the party with the poor system is still hanged and beaten! Are there actually such examples? Of course there is!
For example, the famous "Mariana Turkey Massacre" in the later world. If you leave aside the exhaustion and torture of the pilot's energy by the Japanese's ultra-long-range combat method, just look at the situation when the two sides are fighting. The Japanese fleet was outside the attack distance of the US fleet, first discovered the US aircraft carrier, and then launched an attack!
An attack wave composed of more than 200 planes took advantage of the trend! The power cannot be said to be small, but what is the result? At a distance of 150 kilometers, the American radar captured the figure of the Japanese fleet. Then hordes of Hellcats roared up, and under the guidance of mature radar and tactics, they launched a massacre-like attack on the Japanese naval aviation. In the end, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, which had gained the advantage of the war situation, fell into the sand, and because of its own weak anti-submarine capabilities, it also allowed the Americans to overshadow one of the strongest aircraft carriers... The response of the Americans is the victory of the system and strategy. Even if the other party gains the advantage, the party with the system advantage can still easily put it on the ground!
And for the same reason, now, the German air strike force also urgently needs a sublimation! This is to form a complete strategic bombing system! According to the theory of later generations, strategic bombing is a long-term and lasting process. You can't expect that every time you engage in a battle, you can use tactics to gain an advantage. On the contrary, because you are the attacker and the opponent is the defender, the opponent can use various grounds. facilities and home field advantage to gain battlefield bonuses,
So in many cases strategic bombing can only become head-to-head! At this time, you need a complete system to deal with various challenges, and another meaning of this air strike is to let the German Air Force refine a pair of long swords in the air that can deal with various situations! One of them is called Dui Hai, and the other is called Dui Lu...
What weapon the bomber chooses, what route to take, and how to drop the bomb are matters at the tactical level. This time, what the Luftwaffe needs to improve is at the strategic level, for example, how to arrange coordination and cover between fighter jets and bombers. Let's say, bombing those targets is most effective, well, that's solved. Now to put it simply, it is how to suppress the opponent's fighter force in strategic bombing.
Through the historical experience of later generations, Ruprecht can clearly know that the key to the success of strategic bombing lies in three words, that is, fighter jets! Without fighter jets, it is impossible to successfully use bombers to carry out strategic bombing in the face of powerful opponents. The battle between virtues before 1943 will tell you this. The Allied strategic bombing did have several good performances, such as the thousand-plane bombing of Cologne, and the bombing of the dam in the Ruhr area. But these tactically OK actions do not really achieve strategic goals! In addition to the fact that the scale of the bombing is not too large, the high loss rate of the bombers has always been a problem for the attackers. Under the mixed attack, the Americans set a record of losing 60 heavy bombers in one day on August 17th... . As for the injured aircraft, there are as many as hundreds!
But now, the Germans also have to face this problem. Strategic bombing is a continuous process, and the loss rate must be low to a certain extent to maintain it. If you want to ensure a low battle loss rate, then you must use fighter jets to escort , and the so-called fighter escort and suppression are not just a group of fighter jets next to a bomber. The specific tactics and formation arrangements involved can be described as a challenge for the Germans.
In addition to the arrangements on the battlefield, logistics and post-war disposal also need to be carefully planned. Among other things, a large number of torpedoes will be used against the Strait of Dover this time. Leaving aside the problem of torpedo debugging, purely from the battlefield situation we are facing, we need to deal with various warships ranging from torpedo boats, transport ships to Dreadnoughts. It also needs to deal with different sea conditions such as ports, front seas, and deep seas, and also consider obstacles in ports, anti-submarine nets, and heavy lightning protection nets that warships may hang.
