Chapter 2092 Using Hole Cards One

In this way, it is no problem to confirm the ship type with the help of seaplanes in the air and observation posts on the shore. Although the accuracy of the train artillery may not be high due to the relationship at night, no one wants to let their fleet be under the attack of the opponent's warship and shore artillery at the same time. If this is not the case, half of the battle will be lost first!

As for your saying that there are also seaplanes on German battleships, then send them out to find British railway guns? This theory is indeed feasible, and there is indeed a fire that can be found for shore artillery shooting, but the problem is that even if they find it, the British can use the terrain to cover their shore artillery positions. You know, the elevation angle of a fully deployed railway artillery is generally It is higher than that of battleships, and the elevation angle of battleships in World War I is generally relatively low, so there may be situations where railway guns can hit battleships, but battleships cannot reach shore guns, and even if they can, people can also use terrain to avoid blows, similar to mortars The principle of cannon dodging howitzers.

As for your saying that the German bombers came to retaliate in the daytime, this is another matter. Anyway, the shore artillery also completed its task, and the British warship slipped back. The German interception failed. And once it fails, the British are prepared, and the probability of success next time will be even lower.

These things need to be accumulated in actual combat, and the more you have experienced, the more you will naturally understand. From this point of view alone, the German navy is not even a little stronger than the Americans. And after being deflated continuously, Admiral Benson became honest and began to listen quietly to other people's discussions.

"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for us to use capital ships to intercept the British fleet offshore, and there will be too little time. After all, the British fleet should withdraw near dawn, and after dawn, the British The fleet can get the cover of the British naval aviation, and if the position is relatively north, our air support will be weak." Admiral Scheer was also a little embarrassed, anyway, so far, as a commander of a naval battle fleet Officer, he has no good solution. Of course, if you want to say whether hard steel is okay, it is actually okay, but the risks and benefits are not directly proportional...

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Ruprecht did not respond to Admiral Scheer's question. After waiting for two minutes, Scheer couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked again.

"I have a solution, and it has a very high probability of success, but I have been thinking about whether it is worth using some cards too early," Ruprecht said.

"You mean our aircraft carrier?" Admiral Scheer asked.

"Yes, what battleships and land-based aviation cannot do, aircraft carriers may not be impossible. As long as we use aircraft carriers, according to my plan, we have at least a 70% probability of killing the British!" Ruprech Said with full confidence.

"But the aircraft carrier can't solve a series of problems such as time and the determination of the interception target." After hearing that Crown Prince Ruprecht was going to use the aircraft carrier, Benson, who had just been honest for less than two minutes, regained his spirits. This is what he is most concerned about. If it is a simple battleship battle, it is actually not that important. After all, the U.S. Navy has also experienced a war. Remarkable performance. And even if they were defeated, the British had accumulated some experience. What's more, in World War I, the U.S. Navy watched and participated in many battleship battles.

As for the discussion just now, because it involves mine warfare, night warfare, and a comprehensive confrontation between the fleet and shore artillery, this is not what the Americans have experienced. The last time I experienced such a thing, I am afraid it dates back to the Civil War.. … For these Benson et al. must be studied.

And now? Ruprecht is ready to use the aircraft carrier,

To be honest, although the aircraft carrier has come out, it has never participated in a large-scale actual combat. Who knows how to use it? How's the effect? who knows? This can be said to be groundbreaking. The historical status and the importance of experience are unprecedented in previous naval battles. So, upon hearing this, Benson immediately regained his spirits.

"Can you talk about the specific tactics first?" Admiral Scheer said.

"Yes." Ruprecht nodded, walked to the sand table and then picked up the putter and drew a circle in the coastal areas of France and Belgium. "The biggest problem with land-based aviation is actually that there is too little time. The British fleet is about 35 kilometers per hour, and the flying speed of the bombers carrying a large number of bombs is only about 90 kilometers, and they can only be launched after dawn. Action. Therefore, the British fleet has 2 to 3 hours to evacuate. This is more than 100 kilometers."

"It takes time for our carrier-based aircraft to attack, and it also takes time for tracking and attacking. Considering that we have to match the voyage of more than 100 kilometers and the search time, the other party may have gone about 80 kilometers north. At this time, They have already entered the defense range of the British Naval Air Force, and this distance is already a bit far for the aircraft carrying heavy torpedoes. The airborne time of the K6 bomber is very problematic, and the number of K8 bombers is limited. As for the cover of fighter jets , this is even more difficult.”

"But if we use an aircraft carrier, the time can be greatly shortened. The reason is very simple. We have a mobile airport! We can completely wait for the British fleet to come to the door in the predetermined sea area, which greatly shortens the time and distance of the attack. Even before the British land-based air force could react, our bombs had already been dropped on the opponent's head. After all, even if Jericho sent a capital ship, it was only the size of a squadron, just four old-fashioned dreadnoughts. We With 5 aircraft carriers, one attack is definitely enough to smash this fleet." Crown Prince Ruprecht explained.

"Hiss..." Admiral Scheer took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and found that what the crown prince said was indeed reasonable. The maneuvering advantage of the aircraft carrier is too obvious. Although the specific route of the British fleet cannot be determined, the general direction is correct. After all, the British fleet must not dare to go to the open sea, and can only evacuate north. The preset position of the aircraft carrier is easy to find. As long as you go to a suitable place to the north, protected by the German main fleet, you can block the way for the British army to be withdrawn.

As for your threat to the Royal Naval Air Force? How do you say this? The current British Royal Naval Air Force is only a defensive force, not an offensive force. To be clear, there are still some British fighter jets, but experienced bomber pilots should be almost dead.
