Chapter 1203 The era when naval guns and aircraft coexisted
"Can we do this? Before the fleets between the two sides fight, we send planes 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.
"This can be done. It is very risky for the fleet, but at the same time it cannot fully play the role of 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 said after putting down a document in his hand.
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 200, the British specially modified some merchant ships, with the upper spitfire or hurricane on it. 200 came and shot and took off directly. 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.
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 about 180 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 great, the Navy Air Force may not be able to relieve himself for two months!
The prince also disagreed 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 with a certain amount of fighter jets 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.
"The battleship detachment and the aircraft carrier detachment must fight with the British fleet at the same time, and it is best that the battleships have already fought with the large fleet before the aircraft carrier detachment starts to attack. Only when the British fleet has already formed and cannot be effectively avoided, and the aircraft above cannot take off or are unable to use for other reasons, can the aircraft carrier play its greatest role!" The prince set the tone for the new battle law!
