Chapter 1139: Preparation two

Chapter 1139

Although the number will not be more than the first wave, but according to the prince's calculation, these two groups can release at least 70% of the Wittelsbach aircraft! After all, these are two waves of planes. Of course, for these tricks, the prince has no meaning to explain to Admiral Boll, he won't talk about it before winning!

"45 attack aircraft?" Major General Harrell asked again.

"Yes." The prince replied very simply.

"Is it enough to hit more than 4 torpedoes in the exercise setting?" Major General Harrell asked again.

"The more the better, the 4 shots are a pass. If you hit 6 rounds, your salary will be increased by one level. If you hit 8 rounds, your rank of lieutenant general will be lost!" The prince said generously.

"How is the bomb hit?" Harrell actually started to care about like a businessman.

"17 bombers, hit 3 rounds and count you as a pass, hit 5 rounds, your salary will go up one more level, hit 7 rounds, your Viscount is no problem!" said the prince.

"Okay, that's it!" The major general answered very simply. The expression is also very relaxed, because there is really no difficulty, and the hit rate may not be high simply by looking at it, but under the huge base accumulation, Major General Harrell thinks that if a battleship is piled up, the problem is really not big!

"If the speed and power of the Bavarian-class battleships are limited. Then we adopt the previously formulated tactics, every 4 torpedo aircraft, each group of lightning strikes from both sides of the battleship at the same time, we will attack at least 8 aircraft. It’s normal to hit 1 or 2 torpedoes without considering interference."

"The torpedo squad consists of four torpedo planes in a group, and the attack range is between 500 and 600 meters. The attack interval is about 10 seconds. Before the main attacking fleet launches an attack, we can arrange a small number of torpedo planes to harass. Sexual attack. Used to consume the maneuverability and remaining power of the opponent's warship." Major General Harrell first arranged the attack method of the torpedo.

"As for the bomb attack? How to put it, I always think that the accuracy of low-altitude bombing is not high, and the lethality is limited in the face of capital ships. So I suggest that the bomber unit has completed two waves of torpedo attacks and has already hit the opponent. If you are injured, you can bomb. Slow targets are always more accurate than fast targets."

"As for liaison, one of our four-aircraft formations is equipped with a transceiver dual-purpose radio, and the remaining three are only equipped with a receiving device. The combat distance will not be very far, and it is sufficient even in actual combat." He added that radio has always been a high-value item in World War I, so it is obviously difficult to equip each single-engine carrier aircraft with a transceiver radio. Therefore, the method adopted by the Germans is that the captain's aircraft is equipped with a transceiver dual-purpose radio, and other aircraft are only equipped with receiving devices.

The horizontal bombing of this era is really not good, and if it is a dive bombing, the structural strength of the Seahawk 1 does not allow too large a dive. In fact, in the opinion of Major General Harrell, if the prince intends to do something absolutely, then Just go directly to 45 full torpedo planes. No need to consider the opponent's air defense anyway! But Major General Harrell thinks that the remaining integrity of the prince makes this plan not so perfect...

(Harrell: As long as you can get promoted and get rich, what is the target ship being beaten into?! Anyway, I am not from the navy!)

In fact, the fundamental reason why the prince still arranged torpedo aircraft to participate in this somewhat utilitarian exercise is that when preparing to attack the Gulf of Riga in the future, the naval aviation will perform ground attack missions, facing the fortress or other ground. You can't throw torpedoes.... You can only throw bombs!

Then comes the preparation of the weapons for the exercise. Needless to say, the torpedoes are naturally used to remove the fuze and explosives with the existing torpedoes, and then replace them with counterweights. How to solve the bomb problem? Major General Harrell’s suggestion was to use a 50KG training bomb, which has exactly the same trajectory as a 300KG bomb. The head of the bomb is equipped with dye. After the wooden projectile is broken, the dye inside will spill out. After hitting, there is absolutely no way to go wrong, and even if the bullet is missed, it can leave traces, simple, safe, and convenient!

The final attack sequence was determined like this. The first wave was 4 torpedo planes for tentative attacks, then the second wave was 8 torpedo planes, and after the attack, the third wave was 8 bombers! The fourth wave is 8 torpedo planes, and the last wave is 8 torpedo planes plus 8 bombers! Well, that's it for now! Cruel enough, chaotic enough. So that even the prince thought that Major General Harrell's promotion to the title was certain.

As for the specific training issues, the prince directly handed it over to Major General Harrell. In the days before the exercise, the prince even had time to write a letter to his wife asking about the situation at home and the internal problems of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He also had the opportunity to extend his sincere greetings to Prince Leopold and ask questions at the same time. Now, how about living in the Romanian palace.

Yes, you read that right. During this period of time, the preparations said that no more than 2 weeks, under the command of Prince Leopold, the eight divisions of the Bavarian and Bohemian Army in the Hungarian Army With the cooperation, the Romanian Army's defense line has been penetrated, and the entire 4 armies of about 600,000 Romanian troops have been annihilated and captured 250,000! Romania’s military power can be regarded as dead in name until now.

Of course, there is nothing to brag about the Romanian Legion that has killed the fish belly. The most important thing is that the action was too fast. Before the Romanians destroyed the Ploiesti oil field, the prince’s rapid assault troops had already occupied the oil wells and oil refineries. The factory ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the railway that originally came to connect Germany and Turkey has also fallen into the grasp of the German army. Although it was damaged by the Romanians, it took only two weeks to repair it.

In addition to what these princes expected to get, the Bavarian Army also received some additional materials and funds, such as hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, meat, and forage to be shipped to Russia. Another example is the gold and precious metals in the Romanian treasury. The speed of the German offensive was so fast that the precious materials had changed hands before the Romanians could react.

"This seems to be a good sign." The prince muttered to himself after writing the two letters.

"His Royal Highness, according to the latest notice, His Majesty the Kaiser will come to Port Kiel at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." At this moment, a guard walked in and reported.

"Okay. I will go personally." The prince signaled that the other party could leave. "How about this exercise? I'll wait and see." The prince muttered to himself as he looked at the battleship Saxon parked in Wilhelmshaven in the distance.
