Leave the 11th Special Mixed Fleet on Fanyan Ocean, and even send the restored "Imperial Capital" to take 4 large aircraft carriers to attack the Hovayi Islands?

It’s not that it doesn’t work, it just needs to meet a prerequisite.

Strategic deception.

When discussing this issue with Liu Changxun, Bai Zhizhan repeatedly emphasized that we must find a way to divert the attention of the Newland Navy.

There is no way, such as attacking Tuk Fortress.

From a strategic perspective, this requires the Imperial Navy to be prepared to march into the southwest and east, and at least it needs to be believed by the Newland Navy.

Obviously, it's too difficult.

Not to mention anything else, the Imperial Army has launched a strategic offensive in the northwest direction, and the Navy has to invest enough troops to enter Posa Bay.

Then, even if the fleet can be mobilized, there will not be enough troops to march into the southwest and east ocean.

If bombers were not deployed to the front line in advance, marines were not deployed, landing fleets and transport fleets were not dispatched, ammunition and other combat materials were not transported to the forward base, and reconnaissance aircraft and submarines were not sent to collect battlefield intelligence, how could the Newland Navy be believed?

Even if it is just a feint, you can't just stay verbally.

Fortunately, someone came up with a solution.

On March 12, on March 12, Wang Kaiyuan came to the Navy Headquarters to find Bai Zhizhan and proposed a feasible strategy.

That's right, it's a chain of plans.

At the strategic level, we are ready to march into the southwest and attack Austria, and at the battle level, we are going to attack Via Island in the near future.

In Wang Kaiyuan's words, even if the Newland Navy sees through the feint attack at the strategic level, it will believe that the Imperial Navy's real purpose is to attack Wei Island.

In this way, the Newland Navy will definitely strengthen its defense deployment on Via Island.

It is possible that the two small aircraft carriers left at the Dongwangyang Support Store will be sent there.

Of course, this also means that you can only attack the transit island in the end.

Wang Kaiyuan also mentioned that as long as the Navy Command approved it, the Sixth Bureau can take action and know whether strategic deception has effect in May.

After Bai Zhizhan came forward in person, Liu Changxun waved his pen and asked Wang Kaiyuan to carry out strategic deception operations.

In addition, it is to prepare for the strong attack on the island.

Because the combat plan has been drafted, what we need to do later is to determine the forces and the participating troops, and then formulate a detailed combat plan.

It must be said that this was the most fully offensive operation after the war began.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the fleet.

According to the initial plan, two special mixed fleets will be formed with 4 large aircraft carriers and 4 fast battleships as the core, responsible for seizing the battlefield sea control and air control.

Four ocean cruisers and 12 large destroyers will also be used to provide cover for aircraft carriers and fast battleships.

In addition, a fire support fleet consists of 4 small aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 12 heavy cruisers, 12 light cruisers, and 10 destroyers.

An escort fleet consists of 4 light cruisers and 12 destroyers.

Finally, hundreds of various ships, including 20 large landing ships, were used to carry and deliver 3 land divisions.

In order to provide logistical support to the Marine Corps, four transport fleets will be mobilized and formed.

In terms of aviation, in addition to carrier-based aircraft, more than 100 long-range patrol aircraft will be deployed on the Norwegian Islands, but the main task is to cover the transport fleet.

It was at this stage that Bai Zhizhan proposed that the key was to determine the whereabouts of the Newland fleet before the war.

Although there are only two small aircraft carriers, it can dispatch dozens of carrier-based aircraft at a time, which still poses a huge threat to the special mixed fleet and landing fleet.

In addition, the two North Carolina-class rapid battleships built at the beginning of the year have arrived in Zhenbao Port.

Even without an aircraft carrier, the Newland Navy is likely to allow these two fast battleships to launch an assault at night under the cover of the shore-based aviation force.

The key is that the Newland Navy may be able to add two more rapid battleships in the second half of the year, or even four more.

There is enough intelligence to prove that the first two ships of the Nanda class can be completed ahead of schedule, and the last two may also be delivered to the Newland Navy this year.

In addition, the Newland Navy also has several old battleships and a large number of heavy cruisers.

After being severely damaged in the Northwest Ocean Naval Battle, because the construction cycle of fleet aircraft carriers was too long, the Newland Navy increased the construction scale of small and medium-sized warships such as cruisers, and was mainly cruisers with strong combat effectiveness and able to fight alone.

Just heavy cruisers, the Newland Navy ordered more than a dozen ships at a time, and three levels were built at the same time!

As for light cruisers, there are more.

The key is that the construction cycle of cruisers is much shorter, especially light cruisers, which can be completed in a few months and will be included in the list soon after delivery.

The key is that the Newland Navy has a large number of submarines.

After officially joining the war, nearly half of the new warships added by the Newland Navy were ocean-going submarines.

There is no different reason: the construction of submarines is relatively difficult and can be constructed by small shipyards.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, the Newland Navy's ocean-going submarines have exceeded 80 and are still growing at a rate of 2 per week.

By next year, the growth rate will even reach 3 ships per week.

What’s even more terrible is that there is no matter with the Newland Navy on Fanyanyang, and there is no need to deploy submarines, so all the Newland Navy’s ocean submarines are moving in the east.

So far, more than 100 imperial transport ships have been sunk by Newland submarines in the west and east of the ocean and the sea of ​​flames.

Affected by this, the Imperial Navy had to use two-thirds of the total destroyers and about half of the long-range patrol aircraft for escort and anti-submarine operations.

In addition, the Imperial Navy has begun to consider building or renovating an escort aircraft carrier.

Even in the most ideal situation, when attacking the Transit Island, the Imperial Navy will face hundreds of large and medium-sized warships of the Newland Navy.

This is definitely not a threat that can be ignored.

Fighting near the transit island, these Newland warships can rely on the islands in the rear and operate under the support and cover of shore-based aviation forces.

Although the Newland Navy could not win the fleet decisive battle without a fleet carrier, the use of a large number of warships could still cause huge trouble for the Imperial Navy, and it might even defeat the landing operation or turn the transit island into the second Serbian island.

No matter how bad it is, I can hold on to this direction for several months and wait for two fleet aircraft carriers to return to the team.

From the perspective of strategic importance, the Newland Navy will inevitably fight to the transit island.

Considering that the war machine of the Newland Federation has begun to operate at full speed, the difficulty of attacking the transit island must be above the Serbian Islands, and the two are not comparable.

By then, the Imperial Navy will have to fight a new fleet decisive battle and maintain the control of the sea through the fleet decisive battle.

Obviously, the previous efforts may be wasted.

It was at this time that Zhou Yongtao took the lead in proposing that he had to consider paralyzing the Newland Navy's combat capabilities in the Middle East before attacking the Transit Island.

To put it bluntly, it is to raid Zhenbao Port.

In Zhou Yongtao's words, if Zhenbao Port can be paralyzed, even if you fight with the Newland Navy on the Transit Island, you don't have to worry about anything.

After the Newland Navy lost its combat capability, how could it fight to the death with the Imperial Navy?
