Chapter 1479 Stormy Storm 2

"Mobilize the other air teams that have received attack ship training to the north." The prince said.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be some problems with the speed of our front-line airport." The officer of the Air Force said looking at the almost full airport dispatch table.

"It doesn't matter. If the airport really can't fit it, then find a place to make an emergency landing. If you can't find a place, just throw the plane away. It's fine if people can come back. Throwing dozens of planes is nothing." Prince said The answer was unusually decisive.

"Damn..." After hearing the prince's order, everyone present was surprised, but after a while, the naturally obedient staff began to re-make plans according to the prince's request, and all the backup airports also disappeared. activated, as a temporary airfield for fighter units,

The adjusted plan is as follows. The Bavarian Second Air Force will act as the first wave of aircraft to attack with all its strength. After the first wave of aircraft departs, the aircraft from the rear will land at the frontier airport for fuel replenishment, and then attack again. Of course, these are mainly fighter jets. For bombers, carrying 400KG bombs is enough to fly from the second-line base to the Dardanelles.

"Add some independent fighter units. They don't need escorts. Their mission is to freely hunt and kill British fighter jets over the target sea area." Two hours later, the prince glanced at the newly formulated plan and said.

"Your Highness, according to your request, in tomorrow's air battle, we will mobilize more than 400 aircraft, and it is estimated that there will be about 600 sorties taking off and landing. This is almost the limit of the troops we can mobilize at present. Nearly half of the aviation force." After Caliput sent the plan for the last time, he said a little haggardly, with an obvious expression on his face: That's it, it really can't be squeezed out!

"Can't there be more?" the prince asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Impossible. Even if we can mobilize more planes from behind, the ground staff at the front-line airports have already reached their limit. They will conservatively estimate that everyone will have to work for more than 12 hours tomorrow."

"Okay, let's leave it at that, we've done everything we can, and the rest is up to the soldiers on the battlefield." The prince nodded and said.

And just as the Germans were adjusting their deployment and preparing to cover the return of the Spey fleet at all costs, the British were also doing their best to keep Earl Spey in the Aegean Sea forever!

"Our current situation is not very good." Looking at the deployment of the British and French air forces on the sand table, Lieutenant General Trenchard said with some embarrassment.

"We don't need the Air Force to bomb the Spey fleet,

As long as it can block the attack of the opponent's air force, or in other words, we only need fighter jets this time. " Said the liaison officer of the Navy.

"No, your understanding is wrong. What we need this time is to send a large number of fighter jets to hover in the air for a long time. This requires us to have enough forward bases to support the operation and consumption of fighter jets. The fighter jets coming from the rear need to be on the front line Refueling and transition at the airport. At present, the only thing we can rely on is Mytilene’s airport. The capacity of this airport is limited. It is not enough to support long-term high-intensity air cover.” Lieutenant General Trenchard Said.

The continuous increase of the Bavarian Air Force will encounter the load problem of the front-line airport, so the British will also encounter these problems, and they will be more serious. Chios Island seems to be not far from the battlefield, but in fact most of the planes are flying from the direction of Greece. If the plane flies southeast to Chios Island and then goes to the northern battlefield, it will take a zigzag line, and the distance is even greater. Far, if take-off and landing are counted, the added oil is of limited significance.... After all, British planes are relatively short-legged. And the so-called clever woman can't cook without rice. After the British Royal Air Force was hit hard last time, the number of front-line combat aircraft has been greatly reduced. It has not been supplemented much, and it will go through the second round of consumption.

"We can also send seaplanes and reconnaissance planes, and they also have weapons," an officer said.

"That's just giving away the head. Every minute of delay is paid with the blood of the Air Force personnel." Lieutenant General Trenchard was very dissatisfied with this behavior.

"But at least we should organize it into the reserve team. This time the Germans have caused too much influence. We must take decisive action, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must defeat Turkey and save Russia, otherwise, we will do everything we can." It's possible to lose the war!" said the Navy liaison.

"Don't tell me about strategy anymore. It has nothing to do with me. All I have to do now is plan tomorrow's battle." Although Lieutenant General Trenchard was very disgusted with the so-called "strategy", but in the Navy Under pressure from all sides, he still put some of the reconnaissance planes and seaplanes that were originally used as auxiliary forces into the reserve team. In this way, after a long time, the total number of planes that the British side could invest in the next day was around 200. With the addition of the two squadrons of the French, the total number is probably around 250! Although the number is not small, the entire British Air Force knows how much water is in it!

"To be honest, there are too many auxiliary aircraft among these aircraft, and they belonged to different departments before. Coupled with the poor frontline situation, it is hard for me to imagine how much combat power such a fleet can play!" A British Air Force officer Write this in your diary.

Two hours later, Lieutenant General Trenchard informed Fisher of the whole plan by telegram. Looking at the fighter squadrons that were not many in the battle sequence, Sir Fisher felt helpless.

"Perhaps, at this time, it is not a good choice to have a showdown with the opponent without sufficient preparation." The colleague beside Sir Fisher said.

"So, shouldn't we share our concerns with the French?" Major General Duff asked.

"Tell me, just say that our air force is not very sure about competing for air supremacy, and we must not delay for too long." Sir Fisher's subtext is, if the situation is not good, then hurry up and scream!

However, what the British did not expect was that there was a serious problem with their plan from the very beginning, not because Trenchard's calculations were wrong, but because, just before the air force debuted and before the final showdown between the two fleets, Stanley Earl Pei has already decided to pull out the most important support point of the British Air Force in this battle-Mytilene Airport! After losing an important transit station, the Royal Air Force's air defense network is naturally difficult to operate. If this air defense network is compared to an umbrella, then Mytilene Airport is the umbrella bone of this air defense network!
