Chapter 2677 No Answer 2

"So, you mean yes," Redl said.

"Yes, agree, trade a Zeppelin in exchange for a USS Constellation aircraft carrier and a seaplane carrier, that's it!" Su Xiong finally made the decision.

So, Su Xiong finally formally submitted an application the next day, exchanging a Zeppelin for a fleet aircraft carrier and a seaplane carrier, and the Americans quickly agreed. After all, Su Xiong's reasons were very good. , it’s okay for everyone to exchange and learn from each other, but the premise is that you can’t let me suffer! After the exchange, the combat power of both parties should remain roughly balanced. Your pilot is relatively poor, so the quality is not enough to compensate for the quantity!

Five days later, when the battleship Mecklenburg completed its final repairs and was being replenished, the aircraft carrier Constellation and seaplane carrier Ark assigned by the U.S. Navy to Su Xiong's fleet had arrived, and the commander of the fleet was It was U.S. Navy Captain Mitchell. Nimitz continued to serve as the U.S. Navy's liaison officer to the German fleet.

The Americans were unfazed. In the last period of time before the fleet left its post, Nimitz and Mitchell had already invited Su Xiong and Redel to discuss some issues. Of course, when it came to battle issues between battleships and cruisers, basically It was an American asking for advice, and Su Xiong answered. After all, Su Xiong had just proved his strength not long ago! As for the use of aircraft carriers, Americans also have their own opinions.

"Your Excellency, General, I have been having a question. I wonder if you can give me an answer?" Mitchell asked. After Su Xiong nodded in agreement, Mitchell was unambiguous. The first question he asked was very pointed: "If two aircraft carriers discover each other at the same time and then launch an attack, is it possible to attack the opponent at the same time?" , block the opponent's attack."

"If the two sides are evenly matched, then unless you are very lucky, it is impossible to block the opponent's attack, because the aircraft carrier is very fragile, and it only takes two bombs that hit the right position to seal the aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft group. By the same token, the opponent's attack It's impossible to block your attack. Under the current circumstances, the attack power is much higher than the defense power!" Su Xiong answered with an unusually positive answer.

"Well, that's it." Mitchell nodded and gestured slightly to Nimitz. I really think it’s possible that the Americans haven’t explored relevant tactics! Simply speaking from history, the U.S. Navy has allowed aircraft carrier squadrons to participate in exercises very early, and in the famous "Fleet Question 10" exercise, aircraft carriers even attacked each other! In this dimension, the Americans, who are always ready for war, do more deductions and exercises.

Although the U.S. fleet believes that the performance of the German aircraft carrier squadron is very amazing, after all, it was won on the basis of using more to defeat fewer and frequently calculating the opponent. In the eyes of the Americans, the reference value of this advantageous situation is really not good. Therefore, the United States focuses on studying how to operate aircraft carriers in situations of balance of power or even disadvantage. However, after no less than six simulations of the attack, the Americans were very frustrated to find that it is difficult for aircraft carriers in this era to defend against attacks of the same scale!

Although Germans are naughty,

However, the Americans believe that their deductions have considered all situations. They have tried their best to increase the engine speed and selected no less than twenty fighter interception plans. However, the result is that unless the pilot's personal level is extremely high and the opponent is a novice, otherwise The attacker can always break through the defense and drop the bomb... Therefore, Su Xiong's answer made Mitchell very satisfied. At least the Germans are still very honest on this issue.

"So how does your country respond to an aircraft carrier battle under a balance of power?" Mitchell asked.

"If possible, it is natural to establish some kind of asymmetric advantage. For example, we will focus on seaplanes for reconnaissance missions, so that the aircraft and decks on the aircraft carrier can be used for attack with peace of mind. In addition, if it is a large-scale aircraft carrier formation If we fight, we will let one of the aircraft carriers carry a large number of fighter jets to be responsible for the air defense operations of the entire fleet." Su Xing's answer was very calm.

"What is the reason for using an aircraft carrier specifically to undertake air defense tasks?" Mitchell fell into deep thought. then asked.

"It's very simple. If two aircraft carriers perform air defense missions together, then coordination between them will be a troublesome matter. The command principle of our air force is that an independent fleet is responsible for a certain airspace, and the navy has also inherited it." Su Xiong said.

In fact, what Su Xiong said is right. The German Navy did conduct similar research at the beginning, but then gave up. I really thought that the current German Navy was just letting it go. How could it be possible? After a long period of deduction, the German Navy discovered that although using a large aircraft carrier to undertake air defense tasks can solve the coordination problem to the greatest extent, how to ensure continuous air defense?

You must know that the current aircraft carrier aircraft cannot land and take off at the same time, and the time of the air defense battle is also uncertain. If you wait until the first wave of fighter jets is finished, prepare to come back for supplies, while the second wave of fighter jets is preparing on the deck. How can this line of defense not collapse immediately! Therefore, Su Xiong told Redel that the Germans did not have a complete system for aircraft carrier operations. Currently trying other methods! Su Xiong didn't know if other methods could be used, but he knew that even in a large aircraft carrier detachment, using a fleet aircraft carrier to perform air defense missions was cost-effective! This is a trap!

"This will cause a fleet aircraft carrier to completely lose its attack capabilities. And even if there are a sufficient number of fighter jets, it may be difficult to intercept. Communication is a serious problem, and command is an unsolvable problem." As the U.S. Navy As an aircraft carrier expert, Mitchell naturally knows the difficulties. Let me ask, a large wave of aircraft from the other side came over, including high-altitude fighter jets, bombers entering from medium altitude, and low-altitude torpedo planes striking with lightning! The opponent is coming from all directions. How do you effectively command the fighter jets to effectively intercept them under visual conditions? The answer is, it can't be done, something will always go wrong...

Americans saw this problem very clearly and came up with a simple and direct solution. How about we just use our full output to kill the other party?

Therefore, the Americans came up with a very extreme one-wave system-full-deck attack! In one attack, or in a period of attack, aircraft equivalent to 50% or even 70% of the total aircraft capacity are continuously released, and then the opponent is killed in one wave! Let’s talk about defense.
