readx;?“ It's time for us to go! There are no more targets in the Bay of Bengal to continue attacking. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info ○ Yawen ◇ Small ◆○ Said ◆ "When the Allied Combined Fleet bombed the airfield outside Dhaka into a mess. Count Spey resolutely demanded that the fleet begin to evacuate immediately, and despite the opposition of his addicted men, he resolutely ordered the fleet to embark on its way home tonight, and after nearly ten days of tossing, the Allied fleet bombed more than half of the port cities on the east coast of India, but in the end, Count Spee did not do anything against the Andaman and Nicobar Islands!

"Our plan seems to be very different from the actual action, we beat Britain and the United States enough, but we didn't provoke Huaxia, are you afraid?" Count Luknall asked with some dissatisfaction.

"China's air force in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has 2 complete air forces! If we go, the best outcome is a lose-lose situation! Meiying is not terrible, because we know their bottom line, but we don't know Huaxia's hole cards! Think of the amazing fast guys flying over our heads these days! In my opinion, the gap in aviation power between us and Huaxia is at least about 1 year! The Count said expressionlessly. Moreover, I have a hunch that Huaxia may be ready to do it to us again! ”

"Are they crazy? What forces do they have to challenge our fleet? At sea, we are now invincible! Even if the quality is a little worse, but with a huge numerical advantage, we are enough to crush all the enemies! Count Luknall said in disbelief.

"Do you know the number of aircraft carriers in active service in China now? Do you know their carrier-based aircraft matching? Don't prevaricate me with information that's almost close to speculation! This stuff is garbage! Remember the information we received before the Battle of the North Atlantic? ”

"I can tell you clearly now that my attack this time is to attack the relatively weak American and British forces, and my strategic goal has never changed, which is to find soft persimmons to pinch! If I have to fight the Huaxia Navy, I'd rather choose to fight in our field, otherwise, I can avoid it! "Count Spee has finally spoken his purpose, which has not changed from the beginning!

Earl Spee's platoon was finally evacuated from the Bay of Bengal immediately, but at this time. His evacuation seemed to be a little late, and on his way back, with the help of submarines and ocean-going reconnaissance planes, the huge Chinese fleet was already in the net. 5 formidable aircraft carrier battle groups formed a huge cross-shaped array, just waiting for the Germans to crash into the trap!

The two most important attack groups in the Huaxia fleet are the Huaxia First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group and the Second Aircraft Carrier Battle Group commanded by Su Mo and Ye Ming, each with 6 aircraft carriers! They are 3 municipality-class aircraft carriers and 3 provincial-level 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers. √♀ They are the elite of the Chinese Navy and the backbone of the attacking force! The eight lightly protected fleet aircraft carriers were divided into two groups, forming the third and fourth aircraft carrier formations. It mainly performs the tasks of escort of attack aircraft and air defense of the fleet.

This time. The pride of the Italian Navy, Marshal Tycho, who had been in charge of the Navy from World War I to the present day, is once again in battle! Participated in this great war with the last belongings of the Italian Navy! "This is revenge on the German invaders! This is not the first time, and it will not be the last! Until the Germans get out of our homeland! ”

With a declaration of revenge, the 4 aircraft carriers of the Italian Navy (one of which was replenished by Huaxia for the Italian Navy in a half-sold and half-given manner. The fifth aircraft carrier battle group was formed and participated in the battle. Unlike the mixed aircraft carriers of the Spanish Turks, the combat level of the Italian fleet is very high, the aircraft configuration is almost in accordance with the establishment of the Huaxia, and the personnel are all selected from the exiled Italian pilots, and the combat effectiveness is in the middle of the five sub-fleets!

For the decisive battle that is about to explode, Su Mo is full of confidence, and he can completely beat the opponent with his head and head when the Germans are unprepared. But there were unforeseen circumstances, and Su Mo didn't expect that his fleet would be cordoned off by the submarines deployed by the Germans in advance in the southwest of the Bay of Bengal!

One of the most important reasons why Earl Spee dared to wreak havoc in the Bay of Bengal was that he left himself a lot of backhand. Count Spee didn't expect the Huaxia Navy to attack, he concentrated nearly a hundred submarines to monitor the area around the Strait of Malacca, as well as the northwest area of the Bay of Bengal, if the Huaxia fleet sailed out of the Strait of Malacca, or if there was a fleet to outflank his retreat, so many submarines would definitely appear, if it wasn't for Su Mojian's sidetrack. did not pass through the Strait of Malacca, but made a detour, I am afraid that the Germans would have learned about the dispatch of the Huaxia fleet earlier!

"A huge fleet, bigger than we imagined. Only the fleets of both sides in the North Atlantic can be compared with this fleet! This fleet stretches for dozens of nautical miles and has at least a dozen aircraft carriers! They have been in full contact with the submarine cordon. "A piece of information sent from the U356 submarine stunned the Germans, who were immersed in the joy of victory a few days ago, and the German ** officer in charge of the intelligence even thought that the submarine force had made a mistake! After repeated verification, this information was sent to the marshals and generals!

"Immediately mark the location and situation of the other party on the chart!" Earl Spee's pupils shrank slightly, and what he was most worried about was finally born! The heritage of China is really unfathomable, and they actually chose not to rely on the 6 base aviation units for a decisive battle when the high seas fleet was the strongest! What is it that gives them so much confidence? Count Spee did not think this was a reckless move by the other party. If the other party dares to do this, there must be something to rely on! If you're not careful, you may never recover!

"The submarine force has seen a lot of new things in the Chinese fleet, and according to intelligence descriptions, there are some particularly large aircraft carriers, similar in size to our Caesar-class, or even larger. The number is around 3 to 4 ships. ”

"The Huaxia aircraft carrier fleet also has the problem of insufficient numbers, and they have also built some medium-sized aircraft carriers with a shorter construction period to make up for it. The number of these aircraft carriers is about 6! The total number of aircraft carriers in China is around 15. ”

"On top of that, we've met a friend we've been missing for a long time! The Italians are also involved in this campaign, and if nothing else, you and Marshal Tycho will meet again, but this time as opponents! ”

The information that the German submarine forces had exchanged for blood and lives was collected one by one, and Count Spee could finally peek through the fog of war into the pit of the fleet that was about to face!

"We do have a numerical advantage, but if we really fight hard, we will suffer huge losses! Is the Huaxia Navy crazy? Would you rather lose both sides than fight us to the end? "There is a saying in Europe, don't stop a fleet coming home! And this time in the eyes of the Germans. Huaxia wants to stop a returning fleet that is far stronger than himself! It is very irrational to brazenly fight a decisive battle in the face of a numerical inferiority.

"If you want to fight, come on! At the moment, the number of their large aircraft carriers is not large, and we still have a good chance of winning. If the number of aircraft carriers of their class reaches more than 6, then we have even less chance of winning! The performance of Huaxia's airborne guided weapons is very good, but it lacks a platform, and we have to limit the number of platforms on the other side! "Count Spee is really old and spicy! Since you know that you can't hide, let's face it directly! At this time, is it still meaningful to wonder why Huaxia has to get along with the German Navy?

Just when the Germans were preparing a countermeasure. The Huaxia Navy is also preparing for an imminent battle. Relying on a well-established reconnaissance network, the Chinese navy could accurately predict the movements of the German fleet and grasp the initiative in attacking, but at the same time, even the most belligerent generals admitted that the German offensive force was still sharp, and the slightest carelessness would cause heavy losses. And now, far from the time to fight the Germans at all costs, so Summer advocated a limited battle when formulating the battle plan.

"Our carrier-based aircraft system is still somewhat different from that of the Germans, and the cruise intensity of the German attack aircraft group is generally faster. Whether it is an attack aircraft, a JU9O attack aircraft or a dual attack aircraft, they have a cruising range of more than 45o kilometers per hour. Although limited by bomb load and range, it has to be said that in the case of a small combat distance, this sharp sword is quite deadly! ”

"We are different, although the Skua and the newly commissioned Double Ichthyosaurus attack aircraft have a fast cruising degree, but the other main attack aircraft, the Sky Raider attack aircraft, is very slow. And it is clear that our attack aircraft group will not be able to abandon the bomb-loaded Sky Raiders. For this reason, our entire fleet will not be very fast. This is where our current disadvantage lies! ”

"And our advantage is that the escort fleet is very strong. At the same time, the firepower of the attack aircraft group was superior, and the Ichthyosaurus twin attack aircraft almost completely outnumbered the German BF11O attack aircraft. This is true both in terms of degree, the performance of guided weapons, and the amount of ammunition loaded. And the Sky Raider attack aircraft claims that one can top three Ju9O! In this case, our attack is like a hammer, slow and ferocious. Just smash it and shoot it to death! ”

"Good thing. Our planes have a long enough range that the Germans want to be fast, and the biggest limiting factor is the amount of fuel, and unfortunately, the German planes have a sad amount of fuel, if we pull away. If they want to fight back, they must reduce the degree, which is tantamount to increasing the time for our defense in disguise. Summer began to explain his plan.

"Doesn't this mean a return to the original tactics of the Americans for low-distance cruises? This is tantamount to going backwards, the Americans can't do it well, can we succeed if we do the same thing? An officer asked.

"It looks the same, but the substance is not the same. Is the key to aircraft carrier operations a penetration, the high penetration of the Germans is to compress the opponent's defense time. In the case of the limited performance of the American carrier-based aircraft, if they cannot concentrate superior forces to intercept it, then the defense line can be easily broken through, and the Germans occupy the performance advantage of fighters, even if the US Navy attacks from a long distance, the Germans can still block it. In other words, the Germans shortened the attack distance and increased the degree on the premise of ensuring defense. ”

"And our situation is different, our Skua fighter has a performance advantage, although a low-range attack will give the Germans enough time to prepare, but, in the end, we can still rely on the performance of the fighter to tear through the opponent's defenses, the slight loss of the fighter force and the safety of the aircraft carrier itself is more important, I think you should be very clear about what you are doing. In that case, if our attacks work, why not extend the distance to increase the duration of our defenses? ”

Su Mo's meaning is very clear, lengthening the attack distance will certainly bring a certain amount of pressure to the attack aircraft group, but the performance advantage of the fighter has reached the point where it can smash the opponent's defense line, so there is no need to pursue high penetration to compress the opponent's reaction time, anyway, if you are given an hour, or two hours of preparation time, we can still successfully penetrate the defense, so what else can we worry about?

Let's not forget that the number of direct guard aircraft is not directly proportional to the time, on the one hand, because the number of carrier-based aircraft is limited, and the total number is so much. On the other hand, the aircraft has been cruising in the air for a long time, which will naturally lead to fuel consumption, and after a node, the defense will decrease!

"In that case, if we want to do two waves of attacks, counting the preparation time, we can only pick up the enemy in the morning to recover the second wave of planes before nightfall." Ye Ming, who was next to him, said after carefully calculating the arrangement of the attack time.

"No, we will only fight one wave, no matter what the battle situation is, we will leave after the battle, the best time to engage the enemy is after ten o'clock in the morning, and the best time to start the first wave of attacks is after half past eleven in the morning! We don't have to fight each other to the death now, as long as we hurt the Germans. Sumer's plan surprised everyone.

"Since we are in the ascending period of strength, the later we will fight a decisive battle, the greater our advantage will naturally be, do not think about killing the Germans in one wave, this is impossible. Our task is to send the German fleet back, to return them to the Mediterranean, and then we will gain sea supremacy in the Indian Ocean. As long as this goal can be achieved, it is necessary to go astray by paying too much attention to the number of enemies to be destroyed. ”

"And what if the Germans come out after they have been replenished?" Ye Ming also asked with some puzzlement.

"That's good, by that time, the gap between the two fleets will be even greater, and our chances of winning will be higher, just beat them back, what's there to be afraid of!" Su Mo replied very dryly.
