Chapter 2749: Busy 2
Chapter 2749 Busy 2
What's even more terrifying is that not only did Logan think carefully about luring the enemy, he even arranged the Japanese army's action schedule, and the attack time he aimed at was different from what Betty thought. The time Logan prepared to attack Not at dawn, but when the Japanese Navy was preparing the second wave of aircraft! And this time is about an hour after dawn!
As for why you had to choose this time? To answer this question, you must first be clear about one thing, that is, if the Japanese themselves do not make mistakes, then it is impossible to use a fleet of 140 aircraft to severely damage 4 aircraft carriers in one wave! The reason is very simple. The Japanese's four aircraft carriers can easily cobble together more than 50 fighter jets. Together with the attached seaplane carriers and seaplanes on the battleships, it will not be a problem for the Japanese to work hard to cobble together 80 various aircraft. , don't look down on seaplanes, no matter how stupid this thing is, it is still more flexible than a torpedo plane...
With the strength of the U.S. Navy, it is not a big problem to severely damage two aircraft carriers, but if you want to severely damage the other two aircraft carriers, it really depends on your luck. After all, you cannot expect that all your bombs will land very well. If you have the ability to send bombs hitting the bow, middle and stern decks of the ship, it really means that you are the biological son of God...
Okay, let's be more realistic. Look at the USS Constellation aircraft carrier. The hull deck was hit by 3 heavy bombs and it still maintained the ability to partially release the aircraft. You know, the Japanese used 500 kilograms of bombs to bomb the US aircraft carrier. The Americans bombed it. Japanese aircraft carriers used 500-pound bombs... The latter is not a little less powerful. According to American experiments, as long as the hit location is not particularly vulnerable, such as hitting an elevator or something, the engineering team will remove the damaged wooden boards and steel plates and then replace them with new ones. That's it.
(But it is definitely not possible to repair a bomb in this way, because the bomb is so powerful that it not only blows up the deck, but also destroys and bends the supporting structure of the lower part of the deck. For example, the deck suddenly rises. A dent or something. You can fill up a dent, but a lump suddenly bulges out. What do you do? This thing is not something that can be repaired on the battlefield.)
Therefore, if you want to completely eliminate the four Japanese aircraft carriers, there is only one way, and that is to use our own strength... Only when the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier is not so clean, and there are planes, fuel, and bombs on it, will the US Navy's attack have the best effect! A bomb goes down and explodes in a large area! This is one bomb worth several rounds! Absolutely a huge profit.
Regarding this issue, Logan and the Americans have even conducted experiments. For example, when the fleet encounters an emergency, how to deal with flammable and explosive materials on the deck and how much time it takes. In fact, bombs and oil are best handled by simply pushing them back from both sides. But the biggest problem is, what do you do with a plane loaded with bombs and fuel... To be honest, pushing this thing is not convenient! And the volume is so big, if it gets stuck due to scratches or other collisions when pushing, or even the ammunition or fuel explodes,
Then the problem is big. After all, the plane is heavy and it is inconvenient to push it. After the plane is positioned, ropes are used to tie the plane to special hooks on the deck. If you want to push the plane down, you must first untie the ropes... .. And that's a problem. So, clearing the deck will take a long time no matter what, even if you are pushing the aircraft into the sea instead of taking back the hangar...
(Although the aircraft carrier is large and relatively stable, after all, it is at sea, and there is roll and sea breeze. Therefore, the aircraft in World War II must be fixed with ropes and can only be opened before release. What is the role of positioning? To a large extent Just to secure the plane.)
Therefore, after referring to the deck operation efficiency and time of the German and US navies, Logan and others set the offensive time for one hour after dawn! At this time, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft should have completed the first wave of launches and are preparing for the second wave. Some of the fleet may have taken off, but there will definitely be some aircraft left on the deck. At this time, the U.S. Navy has the highest probability of launching a Seriously damaged the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. This is your only chance, it won't happen sooner or later!
"Now, our reconnaissance plane should have found the location of the Japanese aircraft carrier, right?" Logan looked at the clock on the wall from time to time while marking all the known information on the chart.
"There will be news soon. Our submarine force has targeted a certain area with a length of 20 kilometers and a width of 20 kilometers. Although it is still dark, relying on radio positioning and the lights emitted by the Japanese fleet, I think we can We should be able to find the location of the Japanese fleet quickly. The Japanese will definitely prepare to take off carrier-based aircraft, and if they want to take off carrier-based aircraft, the deck must be bright." Mitchell said with relief.
"When do we take off the fleet?" Old Fletcher, as fleet commander, asked.
"It depends on when the Japanese take off the aircraft group. As long as they take off towards the Constellation, then we will take off the aircraft to attack the Japanese aircraft carrier detachment." Logan said.
"If we discover the Japanese aircraft carrier first, can't we launch an attack first?" Old Fletcher asked.
"No. First of all, one thing that is certain is that we cannot encounter the first wave of Japanese attacking aircraft, because our aviation power is simply unable to deal with the Japanese first wave of aircraft and the direct guard aircraft group above the fleet. We must let go The first wave. So we can only find the time between the two groups of aircraft released by the opponent to attack." Logan explained.
"So all we have to do now is wait?" Old Fletcher asked.
"Yes, we can only wait now. Wait until the Japanese release the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups before launching an attack!" Logan nodded, and then silently looked at the carrier-based aircraft groups being prepared on the deck. The aircraft were already neatly arranged. The cloth is on the deck, the wind deflector at the front of the deck has been erected, and the aircraft carrier has entered the upwind route and is ready to fly at any time. The dice of war have begun to spin, they have done their best, and the rest is up to luck.
However, fate did not let Logan and others wait too long. As time passed by, the sky began to light up. When the fleet of aircraft and seaplanes released from the USS Constellation aircraft carrier flew over the Japanese fleet, everything started moving like meshing gears!
