Chapter 1336: The Eagle Over the Bay of Biscay 4
"Watchtower 10 call headquarters, Watchtower 10 call headquarters, the Germans seem to have stopped advancing, they are wandering in the airspace 250 kilometers southwest of the fleet, repeating, the Germans have stopped advancing, they are wandering 250 kilometers southwest of the fleet. [No pop-up novel network]"
"Wanglou No. 8 call headquarters, Wanglou No. 8 call headquarters, due west found a large number of aircraft from the sea, suspected to be Allied naval aviation, currently about 500 kilometers away from the battlefield, their speed is not fast, continue to approach." With the help of the watchtower radar sentry aircraft and the peripheral Allied fleets, both Nimitz, the commander of the Allied fleet, and Wang Yue, who is in France, can know the battlefield situation well, at least they can know the direction of movement of the German large aircraft group, and at the same time can establish contact with the commander at the wing commander level.
"The Germans are not stupid, after suffering a few losses, they know that there is no future for hard rushing." After summarizing a variety of information, Wang Yue expressed his admiration for this invisible opponent, after all, such a large-scale operation, the front-line commander dared to directly challenge the established plan and deal with it flexibly, but it required great wisdom and decision
Moreover, air warfare is not the same as land warfare, the situation in air warfare is changing rapidly, and it may lead to an irreparable situation in a matter of minutes. The commander stopped just before approaching the cliff. The Germans were only one step away from falling into the trap designed by Huaxia, and the Germans took the opportunity to temporarily prevent the tragedy from happening, and Huaxia also reassessed the strength of the twin engines during this time Before the battle, not only the Americans, but even Huaxia was skeptical about the comparison between the Cascha Falcon 3 aircraft and the new German aircraft, but judging from the data just came, although it cannot be said that the Cascha Falcon 3 hangs DO335, it at least has a greater advantage. When the Luftwaffe Navy and Air Force were originally set in the deduction to attack at the same time, the odds of victory between the two sides were five or five, but after recalculation, Wang Yue believed that relying on the performance advantages of the new aircraft and the advantages of the command system, the probability of Huaxia blocking the opponent should be more than seventy percent
The battle is going on at this stage. Wang Yue already has the victory in his hands, even if the Allied carrier-based aircraft force kills him, the air defense force in the hands of Huaxia and the Entente will still be enough. And in a way, time is on its side. After all, the Germans are fighting away, while China is fighting at home, and as time goes by, the number of Huaxia aircraft in the air will definitely increase, and the longer it drags on, the more afraid China is of the opponent. As for whether Yeshunek's estimate is correct, he believes that Huaxia will not be able to replenish 500 fighters in a short period of time, so the arrival of sea-based aviation will create a short period of superiority. How to say this, it is also right and not to the replenishment speed of the Huaxia fleet is relatively even, there is no flashpoint, but if the Germans' route is forked, then this advantage period will be gone?
If we talk about the top technology in electronics, China and the Entente have always been stronger than the Germans, whether it is the Italian Civil War, the Iranian Civil War or the present, the Germans have a certain gap with their opponents in terms of electronic jamming navigation radar technology and so on. This time, China and the United States also launched an offensive in the field of electronic warfare, and China and the Americans simultaneously interfered with Germany's radio navigation radio waves, and it stands to reason that this interference is of limited significance for aircraft carrier engagements within 300 to 400 kilometers of each other, after all, the other side can use reconnaissance planes to rest the route. But this time, in order to avoid a possible attack, the Germans deliberately extended the attack range, and the FW190T fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier needed to fly a distance of 700 kilometers to enter the battlefield. As the distance increases, the accumulation of this deviation will expand, and because of the existence of the Huaxia fighter unit, the German reconnaissance aircraft formation will not be able to approach the reconnaissance, and this plus and minus will be between. The course of the Germans deviated greatly, and although in the end the German fleet was able to correct the mistake in only about 20 minutes, but for an air battle, this time was enough
"I decided to take the initiative. The main attack force of the Germans was the HE177 Gryphon strategic bombers and the DO217 medium bombers carrying guided bombs, and the number of aircraft in the German Navy was not too large in terms of size, between 400 and 500 at full duty, and the number of attack aircraft was even smaller, and there may even be no attack aircraft, because the distance was a bit far. Approaching the extreme combat distance of the JU90 bomber, it is estimated that there will be no twin-engine attack aircraft carrying guided weapons, and from the point of view of bomb load, the bomb load of a HE177 bomber is more than 4 times that of the JU90 bomber, and the actual combat effectiveness will be even higher, so as long as we can cripple the bomber force of the Luftwaffe, then no matter how the German carrier-based aircraft hit, we can keep the fleet. As a battle-hardened veteran, Wang Yue is very familiar with the performance of the German aircraft, and he is very keenly aware that there will not be many attack aircraft in the German Navy's ultra-long-distance attack group this time. Since you don't have the power to attack the ship and can only play a covering role, then we don't have to worry about you at all.
"The German air force has already flown off, and it will take them half an hour to correct this mistake, plus the time it takes for the other side to fly over, this time is enough for us to knock out the heavy bomber force in front of us twice, I think you should have confidence in Huaxia's air interception capability, right? We have fought several times with the German bomber force, and we have never suffered any big losses," Wang Yue still asked Li Mei's opinion before making a decision, after all, the two sides were cooperating. This time, Wang Yue not only wanted to keep the Allied fleet, but also to teach the Germans a lesson, since they didn't dare to come, then we would kill them
"I agree with your suggestion, but I think our primary goal is to protect the security of the fleet, and both offense and defense must revolve around this core, so I hope that if we can, there should be at least one wing of the Wechatellia Falcon fighter force left over the fleet. In this way, with the carrier-based aircraft force and land-based aviation forces, we can be sure that everything is foolproof" Li Mei also advocates offense from the bottom of his bones, but now when the war in the Entente is in decline, he still wants to focus on stability, and if Wang Yue can agree to his suggestion, he can also sign the order.
"Then it's decided, I'll order the interceptor group to take the initiative now, and in the next 15 to 20 minutes, another Ishcha Falcon wing will arrive over the fleet, and I'll leave them to the fleet." Wang Yue nodded in agreement, and it is possible that the Germans will attack more than one wave. Don't end up fighting the next wave yourself. And then let another wave go up and beat the fleet, so that the gains outweigh the losses, God knows, how many special bombers with guided weapons were concentrated in the Luftwaffe
The two hit it off. In the following few minutes, after the radio waves conveyed the command command's order to the Huaxia group that was on standby in the air, a huge group of about 600 flying fox fighters and Shi Cha Falcon fighters finally started like a flock of eagles ready to hunt, and flew murderously towards the German bomber group in the distance. Their position is higher than that of the interceptors, and now the German aircraft group covering at high altitude has been routed by the advance force, so as long as they can contain the DO335 fighter units on both flanks, then the DO335 of the front wing will not pose any threat at all in the face of the numerically superior flying fox fighter force and the accompanying small number of Shicha Falcon
"This." When the reconnaissance plane at the front of the line informed Yeshunek of the movements of the Huaxia group, the veteran general of the Luftwaffe was also a little dumbfounded, he had never seen such an active opponent in the previous engagement, it seemed that the other party not only wanted to keep the Allied fleet, but also wanted to easily defeat himself, where did the opponent get so much self-confidence, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. He now has less than 400 fighter jets to escort him, according to intelligence, the number of the opponent's fleet is at least 500 jumps, of course, Huaxia has the qualifications to meet with himself, and now the reinforcements from the HNA side have not yet come, and he and the opponent have just faced each other at this time, and they are obviously at a loss, and Yeshunnek is in a hesitation.
But the confusion is only a matter of moments. Don't look at the distance between the two sides is about 250 kilometers, but if you take into account the relative movement speed of the two sides, it will take about 20 minutes for the other party to kill, and it is a trouble for such a huge group of aircraft to turn around, how can there be so much time for him to suffer from gains and losses? "I ordered the group to quickly withdraw to the southeast and immediately contact the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit, if they are not able to reach the battlefield within half an hour." Yeshunek took a deep breath at this and gave an order that might have saved him personally: "We will cancel the attack on the fleet and carry out the second set of plans" In just a few minutes, Jeshunek had it figured out. Destroying the Entente fleet is indeed a tempting big cake, but only if you can do it
"Seconded." Half a minute later, Celtic's voice came through the headphones. "Until the arrival of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit, I will concentrate all my efforts on covering the transfer of the aircraft group." Carter was also not sure to stop more than five of the opposing air wings when there were only three air wings. And once the Luftwaffe's defenses collapsed, then the most powerful bomber force would be wiped out under the enemy's rockets and machine guns, such a price was so great that before departure, the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Kesselring, also specially formulated a second set of action plans, that is, to abandon the bombing of the Allied fleets and drop bombs on other targets when this plan was originally proposed. There was a great deal of controversy within the Luftwaffe, not to mention the navy, but in the end, the Red Baron tried to suppress all opposition and approve the plan, and then he persuaded the Count of Spee to accept the arrangement. However, the plan requires in the remarks that it can only be implemented when "the first task cannot be achieved", and what criteria cannot be achieved can only be grasped by Jeshunek himself
The huge German fleet began to turn, and one squadron after another began to cautiously follow the front group to turn back to the east, and the accompanying escort fighter group also began to adjust its formation, except for the four squadrons of aircraft left as the guards of the bomber force, the remaining two multi-wing DO335 fighters began to form a thick interception net. They were facing the direction of attack of the Huaxia group, and as the incident progressed, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. "The Germans seem to want to run, so pay attention." The radar operator of the watchtower No. 5 AWACS aircraft finally noticed the anomaly of the German fleet, and from the display screen, a bunch of shining light points began to pull into a straight line, and then regrouped, which was clearly a sign of the bomber formation changing formation. These points of light then began to move in the direction of the Principle Fleet, while others left the group to form a thin band of light.
"Don't worry, they can't go, the boys throw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and prepare for battle" With the order issued, the huge Chinese offensive aircraft group also began to change formations. The entire group began to disperse, and some of the groups climbed further into the air, and they were to launch the first wave of dive attacks in an attempt to break up the German lines. Most of the Ishcha Falcon fighters are deployed in squadrons. If someone looks down from the sky, they can see that the entire Huaxia fleet is like a group of lions hunting, rushing towards the German defense line in a huge arc formation. In the middle of the arc line, there were a group of fox-like interceptors, like knights ready to attack, with their spears in their hands, aiming at the huge prey that was fleeing eastward in the distance
"Here they are," said a German second lieutenant pilot, looking at the myriad silver dots of light emerging from above the clouds. The Germans were also trying to climb, but in order to ensure the speed of street warfare, their rate of climb was limited, and when the battle came, the German aircraft group suffered some losses in terms of speed and altitude, and the first wave of attack aircraft in China passed through the German aircraft group like light cavalry that launched a raid. These nimble Assassins caught their opponents off guard with clean attacks in the first place
The Germans used the loose formation to spread out a frontal enough wide defensive line, but at the same time dispersed the combat forces, which may not be a problem for the inferior aircraft, but this time they encountered the best fighter in the world now, and the sparse formation undoubtedly gave the opponent a chance to break through, and the results of the first wave of dive attacks were not large, only a small number of unlucky people failed to dodge the attack, and were broken to pieces by the flying shells, but this wave of attacks smashed the area in the middle of the defense line, The German fleet had to meet the charge of the Chinese Air Force in small formations. In the case of fighting on their own, the natural combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
