Chapter 2089 Raiders of the Strait of Dover 1

Either one is developed by formulating strategic goals and then unfolding the game. The German High Seas Fleet is no exception. Well, in the future, in the upcoming Battle of Dover Seaman, we must first clarify the goals of both sides and the strength in hand, and then we can formulate a combat plan.

The strategic goal is very simple. If the British want to withdraw their troops from France, they can only go by sea, and the task of the Germans is also very simple, that is, to cut off the British sea transportation line! As for the strength of the two parties participating in the war, it is naturally the Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet. Of course, whether the main forces of the two fleets will appear in the eastern section of the English Channel at the same time is another question.

In this deduction, Crown Prince Ruprecht will still play the roles of the Royal Navy Grand Fleet and the Royal Naval Air Force, while the high-level High Seas Fleet headed by Admiral Scheer will command the High Seas Fleet and the German land-based aviation force. As a representative of the allies, Admiral Benson also came to the scene of the deduction, but the last person in the American delegation made the prince a little unhappy, because this person was Taft who had a long fight with the prince not long ago. However, after the latter stated that he would not express any opinions and kept it secret, Ruprecht also tolerated the other party's entry.

"Judging from the current situation, the British Royal Air Force is already very weak. The Luftwaffe Air Force can put great pressure on the British's daytime sea transportation, and with the dismantling of the anti-submarine system in the eastern part of the English Channel, our submarines will enter the channel. The difficulty of the battle will drop, and we have prepared some special equipment that can be used to clear the remaining mines and obstacles. If it is daytime, I think the sea surface of the English Channel will be stained red with blood donations."

While speaking, Admiral Scheer said that some small aircraft markers representing the air force were placed on the airports along the coast of Belgium and northern France, and at the same time, several markers representing submarines were also moved to the vicinity of the strait.

"Of course, if the situation permits, my main fleet can also be equipped with special artillery shells, and then block the exit of the eastern section of the strait, and bombard the port of Dunkirk with naval artillery." Then Admiral Scheer sent several battleship markers Pushing forward slightly, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, my turn is over, it's up to you." In his opinion, his own advantage is very large, and he can't say that a goes up and wins, but if a goes up twice The words are almost the same!

"First of all, if I were Jericho, I would also do some remedial work while removing the minefields and barriers across the entire exit of the English Channel, such as Dunkirk. To deploy mines in the East China Sea, I can use minelaying ships at night or submarine forces during the day, and in a short period of time, I can deploy some large and small minefields in the east. These minefields may not be very large, but for the aircraft It is definitely a trouble for the high seas fleet that is operating, and you should be very clear about how huge the fleet is."

As Ruprecht said, some markers representing mines were placed in certain areas outside the eastern section of the strait. This location is very cleverly arranged, about 15 to 20 kilometers away from Dunkirk. And cooperate with the shoals and sandbars by the sea.

"And I need to remind General Scheer that the British also have a lot of submarines, at least 100 or more. And our anti-submarine force is always weaker than that of the British. If I deploy submarine ambush circles in the offshore, then I believe, My submarine can always run into your High Seas Fleet." Ruprecht then placed several submarine markers between the minefields.

"Although the British mines are often unreliable, just in case." Ruprecht said. Then he signaled Scheer that it was his turn now.

"It's very troublesome." Admiral Scheer said in his heart. To be honest, although the German High Seas Fleet has a large number of destroyers,

Although the British mines are unreliable, after thinking that the British will deploy new minefields and submarine ambush circles, Admiral Scheer still stays away.... There is no way, my own porcelain can't touch the crock pots of the British, it's not a problem that I can't beat it, it's not worth it! The cost of a capital ship is as high as more than 2.5 million pounds, and the most important thing is that there is no way to replenish it now. If one ship is sunk or damaged, one ship may be lost in future decisive battles. The price is a bit high.

Moreover, you can ignore the British mines, but you must pay enough attention to the British submarines. The British submarines crossed the Kattegat Strait fortified by the Germans and entered the Baltic Sea. (The Kattegat Strait is very narrow between Denmark and Sweden. And the area passing through Denmark’s inner strait is even narrower. Interested readers can check it out on Baidu.) A few submarines and Russian submarines are also given to Germany on the high seas The fleet posed a certain threat. If the British deploy 50 submarines at the exit of the eastern section of the English Channel, it will be really unfriendly to a fleet of the size of the High Seas Fleet...  Compared with the British Grand Fleet, the escort force of the German High Seas Fleet is relatively weak.

"If this is the case, I will withdraw the position of the High Seas Fleet to the outer seas, and still rely on submarines and air forces to attack the transportation lines during the day. Your Highness, as the highest commander of the German air forces on the Western Front, you should be very clear. Relying on the air force and submarines is enough to make it impossible for the British transport ships to move. As for the minefields you have laid near Dunkirk, I can also deal with them. It is impossible to completely eliminate them, but it is not difficult to open a path. If you don’t If you use water surface power." Admiral Scheer decided to stabilize first. I have a great advantage, so I can't waste it at critical moments!

Admiral Scheer is right about this, but the British Royal Air Force is very weak, whether it is the army or the navy. After several rounds of blows, the effect is still very good. If the German Air Force's attitude is firm, then the British sea transportation during the day will be very miserable. Except for the weather helping the British, otherwise, from the British point of view, daytime transportation is indeed dangerous.

As for what Admiral Scheer said about opening a road from the British minefield, this is also possible. The German Navy is equipped with a special mine-sweeping ship. The front half of the hull is filled with concrete and wood, and then it goes directly from the minefield past....... Because of the filling inside the hull, even if there is an explosion, there will not be much water, and even if it is hit by mines one after another, so what if it sinks? Throw it away, just throw it away, and it will be fine if you change it....
