Chapter 1521: Stalemate

Watching the frequent attacks of the Huaxia Navy every day, all kinds of supplies and fuels thrown out like flowing water, Raeder hated it at all! This TM is too unreasonable! It's different from the good script, according to the Germans' estimates, the Huaxia fleet will be able to wreak havoc for two weeks at most without the support of the Indian base. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info_ Yawen _ bar w·w-w-.'y-a· But until now, the German Navy has been waiting for the other side for almost a month, and the opponent's fleet is still dangling, dangling, and dangling near the Gulf of Aden!

"You're not finished! Do you want to give it back? "If Raeder could send a telegram to Sumer, he would have asked the unmasked opponent what he wanted now!

"The more fierce the offensive of the 6th Army and the Air Force of Huaxia, the Turkish Army has been defeated, part of the remaining remnants returned to Asia Minor, part of it retreated to the Mediterranean coast, there is a vast desert between them and Huaxia, Huaxia has no intention of continuing the offensive in a short time, they have concentrated all their forces on us, our situation is even more difficult, the loss of the troops is rising in a straight line, if this continues, I am afraid that in the end we can only go back with empty ships!" The liaison officer of the 6th Army again asked Raeder to be able to change the situation.

"The situation in the Air Force is also not good, the other side has re-corrected our abandoned bases, they are moving a large number of bombers to the front line, and our rear space has been greatly reduced. Even the magic box deployed at the rear airfield was attacked and harassed by the other side, just yesterday, two AR234 long-range reconnaissance planes on a mission were destroyed by the tea falcon fighters that dived down from the clouds, if the opponent's strategic air force completely included our base in their attack range, the entire combat plan will collapse, and the air force must retreat to ensure that these precious strategic resources will not be destroyed, and the lone navy, let alone save the 6th Army, even self-preservation will be a problem! The Air Force representative, who coordinates naval and air operations, also expressed concern about the current situation.

In general, the current situation is that the pressure on the 6th Army and the Air Force is greater than that of the Navy, and the Chinese offensive has intensified. It directly determines the question of whether the German 6th Army can go home, and the Air Force has to send more aircraft groups to the front line in order to cover the 6th Army and plunge into a tragic war of attrition. Even if you can 1 for 3! The Huaxia Air Force said that its fighter jets are enough! How can the 1ooo Rack Tea Eating Falcon also drag you down the 25O Rack Storm Bird! Even if I can't beat you. Constant high-intensity air combat and fragile supplies can also make the Luftwaffe's air power deployed in the Middle East finally collapse!

Although the German Navy has not yet felt the direct pressure, if it continues like this, it will be difficult for the German Navy to retreat after losing the cover of 6 base air forces! The Gulf of Aden is on the verge of being locked up by the Chinese fleet. _Ya_文吧_w·w·w·.· Y'A- Did the German Navy really want to go around Africa and return home? Do you want to? Such a long distance is enough for the Huaxia Navy to slowly eat itself!

Raeder is also in a hurry. He has brought all the belongings of the German Navy, and if he loses, he will probably lose all his money! However, in a hurry, he still has his own unique views on the judgment of the situation. Now the fight is still a bit hasty, the Chinese fleet has been dangling in the east of the Gulf of Aden, the Luftwaffe strike forces are concentrated in the Gulf of Oman, although part of the elite fighter wing has gone to the vicinity of the Gulf of Aden to make up for the battle losses, but the most powerful strike force that the German army relies on has not been in place for a long time, so that Raeder does not dare to act rashly! At most, their own carrier-based aircraft units will fight one round, after the fight. Whatever the outcome, it must be! Judging from past experience, after World War I, it was normal to lose half of the carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, in the face of the attack of the Chinese fleet, Raeder and the Red Baron decided to adjust their deployment, gradually moving the strike force in the direction of the Gulf of Aden, and then cooperating with the sea and air to catch the other side off guard, but the supply and maintenance requirements of the AR234 strategic bomber are very high, and this is not just a plane flying over. Ground crews and all kinds of supplies had to keep up. So the movement of this strategic core will be relatively long. And now, it's not done, so, Raeder doesn't want to do it at this time.

On the other hand. Raeder doesn't seem to believe that the Huaxia fleet can float on the sea like this forever! Although the opponent consumed a large number of German aviation through piecemeal short assault plays, and its own losses were no less significant, if aircraft and supplies could be replenished by transport ships, then what about the loss of experienced aviation personnel? If the Luftwaffe's battle report is to be believed, the Chinese Navy should have also thrown away nearly 6oo aircraft, according to Raeder's estimates. Even if they are discounted again, they will permanently lose 3oo crews, and with personnel fatigue and injuries, their combat effectiveness should have dropped by a large chunk!

Even if the personnel can be replenished, so what? What about the fleet? Although he couldn't figure out the voyage data of the Huaxia Fleet, according to the clues in the intelligence, he could also judge that the condition of the Huaxia Fleet should not be very good, after all, the boilers and engines are constantly wearing out, and in this case, even if the supply is sufficient, the maintenance of important equipment is not optimistic! Therefore, Raeder judged that the Huaxia fleet would not last long! Of course, this time should be compared with the dedication of the German 6th Army, as long as the Chinese fleet lasts longer than the German 6th Army, then the Germans can only choose World War I if they want to go home!

"After the air force is in place, we can attack, and it is best to choose when the Huaxia fleet goes deep into the Gulf of Aden, in this way, we can completely lock the exit of the Gulf of Aden, close the door and fight the dogs!" After pondering for a moment, Raeder expressed his opinion, the German Navy can move, but it must wait until the Air Force is in place! This is a big premise, and it can't be changed no matter what!

"The magic box troops are already in place, and most of the Storm Bird troops who can be present have come, as for the TA152 fighter troops, they are still a little worse, but the chance of waiting for them to arrive is already very small, and they are likely to be transferred to the northern front to resist the attack of the Huaxia Legion. Yavin Bar>w's Air Force has completed more than 80 percent combat readiness. "Little Richthofen's meaning is very clear, now the Air Force can be transferred has come over, although it is less than expected, but the situation is urgent, and there is no point in waiting any longer, everyone hurry up and fight, and go back to their respective homes!

Raeder now has to sigh that history is always strikingly similar, and at every critical moment, the Navy's greatest enemy is not the opponent. It's his own comrades-in-arms! However, unlike the last time when the Air Force and the 6th Army forced the Navy to move eastward into the Indian Ocean, although the conditions this time made Raeder not very satisfied, it was the best choice in the current situation, and Raeder seemed to have no reason to refuse. But even so, he decided to postpone the attack by three days!

And just when the Germans decided to do it, Su Mo, who was playing whack-a-mole in the Gulf of Aden, was also very anxious, his own family knew his own affairs, and he knew quite well what the situation of the fleet was now. The destroyer force has been reduced by about 20 percent, and many of them have been forced to evacuate because of the failure of their machinery and equipment. The size of the carrier-based aircraft force is about 8 percent when it came out! Although there are still a large number of reserve aircraft, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness has declined, and the problem of pilot fatigue is also worrying, so after the previous stage of engagement, with the destruction of the German forward base, Huaxia needs to invest more forces to attack German targets in depth, and this has also led to an increase in pilot fatigue. In order to preserve its strength, Huaxia has begun to reduce the frequency of sorties. Recharge your batteries!

"Two weeks at most! If the Germans don't come out yet, we'll either go home or we'll have to play on the other side's home turf. I'm leaning towards the latter. Ye Ming said a little anxiously.

"Let's look at the actions of the Germans first, let the fleet continue to clear the German naval and air forces near the Gulf of Aden, but the intensity will be lower, and we need to prepare for the final decisive battle. According to intelligence from all sides, the pressure we put on the Germans in 6 was increasing, their depth was getting smaller and weaker. We are anxious, and so are they. A few days ago. The elite units of the Luftwaffe have already begun to move westward, and it seems that they are planning to fight us in the Gulf of Aden. Su Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Even if we remove the Luftwaffe and air forces on both sides of the Gulf of Aden, it will definitely not be a good battlefield, the sea area is too small. They can easily spot us, and then concentrate their superior forces to fight us, and if they can, I hope, jump out of this area to fight. Ye Ming looked at the narrow Gulf of Aden, which was like a trumpet, and said with some difficulty.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult. The planes will always be faster than the fleet, and if the adversary has insight into our intentions, their air force and fleet can at least protect themselves, unless we are prepared to kill the enemy and lose 800 of ourselves, otherwise, a short surprise attack is of no use, but your idea gives us an idea, what would the Germans do if I hadn't left part of the fleet in the Gulf of Aden as bait? Su Mo asked rhetorically.

"Bait? Who's going to be the bait? Our air force is already limited, and it is taboo for soldiers to disperse our forces. If the Germans take the bait, we can naturally knock the other side hard, but even if everything goes well, we will still lose a lot of ships, and this bait must be big and fragrant, at least in the eyes of the Germans, it is worth using the main forces to launch a blow! Ye Ming was not optimistic about this plan.

"What about those old battleships and jeep carriers? Without them, the mobility and self-sustaining power of our fleet could have reached a new level! And with those fighters on the Jeep aircraft carrier, the self-protection ability of this fleet is still sufficient, before the main German forces are put into service, the German army in the Gulf of Aden cannot do anything to them at all, if they are combined with some electronic warfare means, they can completely disguise themselves as a large fleet! "Although Sumer's plan is a bit cold-blooded, it does have a fairly high success rate.

This is not only a tactical need, the situation of the fleet also determines that the continuation of some warships does drag down the action ability of the main fleet, the Huaxia fleet this sortie with a large number of teacher battleships, these ships are about 25 years old although the old guys have replaced the national boiler or even the main engine, but the aging of the hull and line is still an unavoidable problem, even if the power is increased, but the performance is still not optimistic, especially now, after a period of sea voyage, the state of these warships is even more worrying.

And the situation of the Jeep aircraft carrier is also not good, if the old battleships cannot run fast because of various internal injuries, then the Jeep aircraft carrier did not intend to let them run fast at the beginning of the design! The purpose of these warships is nothing more than anti-submarine, designed as aircraft transport aircraft, and the power system of the ships can be described as sad. The maximum 2o to the festival of the voyage is good. Add to that the equipment maintenance problems that come with long voyages, and this voyage will drop even further. This time it was the Huaxia Fleet that was on a long-term attack mission against 6, and the Jeep aircraft carrier accompanied the fleet operations to provide aircraft replenishment, so it was necessary to bring it. If the Huaxia fleet wanted to maintain a high level of mobility, these warships could only be abandoned. And if they are allowed to go back like this, it is better to stay in the Gulf of Aden as a suspicious army!

In the eyes of outsiders, this is to push these warships into the fire pit, but in fact this is not necessarily the case, after the Chinese fleet of more than two dozen fleet aircraft carriers launched a month-long attack on the Gulf of Aden, the German air force in the Gulf of Aden was directly swept away, especially the attack aircraft unit is the object of attention. The remaining air force of the Germans Huaxia has no specific data, but Su Mo is 80% sure that it is difficult for the Luftwaffe around the Gulf of Aden to threaten the Huaxia fleet with at least 8 jeep aircraft carriers! Most of these 8 aircraft carriers are carrying fighter jets, and the total number is no less than 6oo!

The fleet aircraft carriers of this plane are stronger than in history, and at this time, the level of escort aircraft carriers is also stronger than in history, if you have to make a comparison, the escort aircraft carriers of Huaxia are almost at the same level as the American Assault aircraft carriers in history! The armor protection is even stronger than that of the assaulter, especially the defense of the core area, enough to resist the attack of semi-armor-piercing shells, of course, the cost is also obvious, the navigation is worse, the maximum flight of these escort aircraft carriers is only about 25 knots, far inferior to the 29 knots of the assaulter, in the case of catapults, each aircraft carrier can operate about 8o fighters. (Including spare and deck-tethered aircraft.) Such an air defense force may not be worth mentioning for the German fleet, but for the German 6-base aviation unit in the Gulf of Aden, which has been battered for a month, it really has no idea at all!
