Chapter 2124: Hooked
(page 1/1)
And if you consider that the opponent's aircraft carrier squadron can run at a speed of 30 knots at every turn, and the attack fleet may take 2 to 3 hours to arrive, then this problem is even more complicated. If the opponent's fleet evades, what should you do? Therefore, this is a question that tests the skills of scouting and guiding personnel, and this thing is not easy to contact. Relatively speaking, it is much easier for fighter and bomber troops to practice air combat and sea attacks!
"The attack mission will be undertaken by the Swan Castle Air Force and the Imperial Air Force. We have decided to use 40 K8 bombers and 80 K6 bombers. The entire attack is divided into 3 waves. The K8 bomber fleet will take off at 4 o'clock in the morning. , and then enter the scheduled sea area to stand by, and the K6 bomber has a limited time in the air, so we decided to take off from 5:30, and then go to the other two scheduled sea areas. We can guarantee that if the British fleet does not start returning at 3:00 in the morning If so, they will definitely fall into a certain sea area where our three fleets are cruising." Admiral Halder explained to the prince through a sand table demonstration while speaking.
"Okay, you can arrange the rest yourself. We can do everything we can, and the rest is to wait for the outcome of the battlefield. In addition, send out all the reserve planes of the K group. I think the Earl needs their help ’” Ruprecht said.
"The British didn't take the bait, maybe they have already left?" On Earl Spey's flagship Kaiser Frederick the Great, the captain said to Earl Spey.
"Leave? There is a possibility, but the greater possibility is that the bait is not rich enough! The person who planned this ambush was an old hand, either Thomas or Betty. I am more inclined to the former. Thomas is a cunning hunter, if not for some technical problems If so, Su Xiong may be buried in the Indian Ocean. As for Betty? I feel like he is more like a bull, fighting and killing, boosting morale and so on should be fine, but he can't do fine work!" Si Earl Pei is very relaxed now, and even has the mood to comment on the senior generals of the British Royal Navy.
"Then since the British feel that this bait is not rich enough, then add more. Find a fleet that can be used, and then sink them!" The earl ordered! The Earl decided to use himself as a bait to hold off his opponent! To expose his position and let the British know the position of the battleship, no matter how cautious Thomas is, he will not give up this opportunity, right?
As for whether he can run away? Half of this depends on the quality of your officers and soldiers, and the other half depends on luck! "If the air force can be more powerful, I hope to blow up Thomas as well!" The earl said with some malice in his heart. Judging from his knowledge of the British navy, Ivan Thomas is one of the best tactical masters in the British navy. Earl Spey is ready to sacrifice in his heart. To be honest, if it is not because the combat effectiveness of the two fleets is now at a critical point, the Earl thinks that it is a bit of a loss to exchange his life for 3 Dreadnoughts and 1 Super Dreadnought! But if you can take Thomas away with you, you've earned it!
This is war, full of cold blood and calculation!
"Damn it! It's the night owl of the Germans!" The officers and soldiers on a British auxiliary cruiser exposed to the light of the flares cursed these unscrupulous K8 bombers in the night sky! These guys are like death birds. Whenever they appear above the head of the British fleet and drop flares, it means that there may be a German fleet next to them. After all, the Germans will not waste these precious flares.
"Why did those Germans go deep into the Strait of Dover? Didn't they just get hit hard? Don't they run away?" A British officer said looking at the slowly falling flares and the huge shadow in the night sky.
A few minutes later, the flames that suddenly danced in the distant night solved his doubts. Groups of orange flames rose from the sea level. Accompanied by loud noises like thunder, the poor auxiliary cruiser was instantly struck by a Surrounded by water columns!
"Damn it, it's a large-caliber naval gun! The Germans haven't left! Understand and send a report to the headquarters!" The captain of the auxiliary cruiser roared loudly, and a short telegram was sent out quickly. Afterwards, the civilian ship changed to The auxiliary cruiser was destroyed by a salvo of two German Dreadnoughts in 12 minutes!
"Your Excellency, the auxiliary cruiser Sturgeon was destroyed. We have determined the time and place of the exchange of fire." At this time, in the command tower of the Daring Bold, an officer said to Thomas.
"Very well, the Germans destroyed an auxiliary cruiser with a displacement of only 5,000 tons in a quarter of an hour. Do you know what this means?" Thomas touched his chin and said.
"I don't know." The officer on the opposite side was a little puzzled.
"This shows that what we encountered was only part of the German fleet, and they dispersed their forces. This is a bait." Thomas said firmly. "They used the way of exposing themselves to cover another group of warships to break through. So, we can't let the other party go their way, well, just like that, send a report to the Giant and Hercules and ask them to bring 2 light cruisers and 2 The destroyer squadron is going to the sea area where the accident happened! Get rid of these two decoys for me!"
If Earl Spey was present at this time, he would definitely give Thomas a thumbs up! Because, in this dangerous night, Thomas almost made the most correct and daring choice! Divide up and fight while securing the blockade! Night battles are the battlefield that is most likely to be accidentally controlled. It is very bold to make a decision to fly soldiers at this time. As for whether this decision is correct? It must be correct! This is Thomas' judgment based on the strength comparison between the two sides! Thomas was not afraid that the Germans would deliberately hide their forces and catch him by surprise!
Although one of the German battleships sank, the situation of the other two ships is definitely not good. According to the observations of the fire control personnel, there were several violent explosions that were suspected to have hit the turret. There is a difference between detonating violent explosions and ordinary hits. The remaining two battleships are at full health and only have 12 12-inch guns. How many cannons can we make now? Two battleships can't beat a giant dreadnought together, as for the other two armored cruisers? Thomas thought that their high-explosive bombs would be a little bit more threatening than armor-piercing bombs! Enough with the Hercules! Therefore, two dreadnoughts are enough to suppress the entire German fleet. There is no need to send other capital ships at all.
