Chapter 2217 Dawn 3

(Page 1/1)

Camel fighter jets and Tujuan attack aircraft are neatly arranged on the decks of the four aircraft carriers. All aircraft have completed preparation and positioning. Except for some personnel who directed the aircraft to take off, most of the ground crew have left the deck. When the windshield at the front of the aircraft carrier was lowered, a strong sea breeze instantly swept across the entire deck, making the operators a little unsteady. The aircraft's machine guns and bombs shone coldly in the light. The propellers began to rotate slowly, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group was loaded and ready to go at any time.

"The reconnaissance plane of the German fleet discovered us, but their fleet still has no intention of leaving quickly." Lieutenant General Duff said calmly.

"Got it, send a telegram to Lieutenant General Thomas and Major General Hood. Major General Hood will be assigned to Lieutenant General Thomas." Jericho ordered.

"If this is the case, the main force of the Grand Fleet will not even have a single high-speed battleship!" Lieutenant General Duff said in surprise.

"Thomas is the only one who can really bite the opponent and cause damage. We are just tools to entangle the opponent and a human shield to be beaten. Sacrifice ourselves and then create opportunities for the fast fleet is what we should do, so, I will Give Thomas your best, just hope that he can severely damage the Hipper fleet in the first round!" Jericho said.

In the 40 minutes before the battle, Jericho finally sorted out the tactical details of the battle. The Germans will definitely not confront the British fleet head-on! There are only 23 battleships, even if 22 of them are super-dreadnoughts, but you want to have a gun battle with 32 British battleships? How confident must the Germans be! Therefore, according to what the previous crown prince did, he should have used maneuver to gain an advantage, and then like a poisonous snake, he would seize the weak points of the huge fleet and bite it hard, and then maneuver - looking for opportunities - to launch an attack , or wait for the arrival of the Spey fleet.

The fleets of the two sides had fought against each other in the North Sea before. The Germans' excellent tactical maneuvers and ultra-high speed left a very deep impression on Jericho. Therefore, Jericho will never allow this scene to be staged in the Norwegian Sea this time! Therefore, the moment he decided to take action, Jericho put all his chips on the line!

The Thomas Fleet and the Hood Fleet are the only ones that can catch up with the German fleet. With the cooperation of Betty's attack aircraft group, they will concentrate their efforts on attacking the Hipper Fleet. Although the latter has a higher speed, they are obviously unable to catch up with the German fleet during the battle. It was impossible to avoid the attack of Thomas's fleet without leaving the main body of the High Seas Fleet.

The purpose of the British Grand Fleet is to concentrate its absolute superiority in a local area to severely damage a squadron of the opponent. To put it bluntly, it is better to cut off one of its ten fingers than to hurt it! As for other warships in the High Seas Fleet? Naturally, there is a large fleet responsible for the attack. Although in terms of overall strength, the remaining 21 battleships are at a disadvantage against the remaining 19 battleships of the High Seas Fleet, but in the spirit of exchanging injuries for injuries, if they can start with 11 vs. 4 If the advantage can eliminate the Hipper fleet from this battle, then even if the large fleet is sunk 6 battleships, it will be worth it!

As for whether the German High Seas Fleet will allocate additional troops to Hipper? This is possible, but unless the Germans assign Hipper four Bavarian-class battleships, Thomas, who is supported by Betty Air Force, will still have the advantage after all! And if the German High Seas Fleet loses 4 Bavarian-class battleships, then the High Seas Fleet will obviously suffer a disadvantage in the battle. At this time, with the cooperation of Betty's second fleet, Jericho can still try to concentrate. The Revenge-class battleship launched a focused attack on Ruprecht's flagship! If it can succeed, it will be of much greater significance than severely damaging Hipper's fleet!

In general,

In terms of fleet strength, the large fleet still has a relatively large advantage. The High Seas Fleet can at most maintain a balance or a slight advantage in one direction, while it is an absolute disadvantage in another direction! As for the German aviation power? Jericho's answer was simple: "Cold salad, just resist!" There was no way. Betty had already used up all her strength to ensure the aviation needs of the Thomas fleet, including the Grand Fleet, facing the German high seas. The fleet's carrier-based aircraft really can only rely on naval guns!

"This is a real bloody battle. Each of us is ready to sacrifice, just to kill more enemies before falling. And the Germans think so too! They are even more decisive than us! "Lieutenant General Duff wrote in his post-war memoirs.

At the same time, on the Bavaria, the flagship of the German High Seas Fleet, Ruprecht was doing the same thing as Jericho. He was planning the tactical details of the battle. Just as Jericho expected, Ruprecht would not confront the British fleet head-on from the beginning! The core of the German fleet is to take advantage of the carrier-based aircraft. When the carrier-based aircraft arrives on the battlefield and the German fleet has the strongest explosive power, it will give the British a hard blow, and then quickly pull away and wait for the next wave of carrier-based aircraft. The arrival of the plane, or the arrival of the Spey fleet!

Yes, this is an explosion. It can be understood as throwing all the skills instantly, then retreating and waiting for the skills to cool down, and then go up and make a wave!

Okay, so who will be the target of this wave of attacks? From the perspective of the importance of the target, Thomas's six Queen-class battleships are naturally the most worthy of killing. However, Ruprecht knows the significance of the Queens to the Grand Fleet, and Jericho also knows it! Therefore, Ruprecht concluded that Jericho would definitely concentrate considerable air power to ensure the safety of Thomas' fleet. And how lethal is carrier-based aviation in this era? The Crown Prince was still a little worried. After the Spey fleet almost perfectly defended against Betty's attack, Ruprecht became more worried...

And what about on the sea? Even though the Bavaria-class battleship has fierce firepower, it is still difficult to kill the Queen instantly. Once Thomas realizes that something is wrong and shouts immediately, the effect of Ruprecht's skills will be greatly reduced! Because the speed of both sides is almost the same, it is really difficult to stop the German fleet. You can't always expect water bombs to hit the power cabin or directly detonate the ammunition depot, right?

The British aviation power is limited and it is impossible to provide sufficient cover for the entire fleet. Therefore, if Thomas' defense is strong, other places will be weak. If the main battle force and aviation force of the High Seas Fleet are concentrated in these Where the defense is relatively weak, it will naturally be easier to achieve results! For example, the main fleet! Okay, then, which part of the large fleet should we start with?
