Chapter 1951: Strategic bombing and strangulation

One year ago, the Kaiser wanted to send an airship force to bomb the British mainland. When he asked Ruprech’s feature for advice, the prince refused at that time. It was not that the plan was bad, but that the plan was a bit out of date. Airships are expensive to build, and the amount of bombs carried by a single ship is indeed not small, but the scarce number limits the scale of bombing. Instead of throwing precious airships into the bombing of the British mainland, it is better to let them cooperate with the army as an aerial monitoring platform. Moreover, because of the premature rise of planes on this plane, the resources allocated by airships have been reduced. Therefore, bombing with airships has very limited effects except for a mental deterrent.

　　 But, today is different! After more than two years of war consumption, after one air contest after another, the Luftwaffe used the correct tactics (previously mainly fighters and interceptors, with a more complete ground system to consume the British aviation power.) and Accumulation (the number of bombers slowly accumulate, use carefully.) Finally, the air superiority on the battlefield was completely obtained, and the Royal Air Force was hit hard by several consecutive sudden strikes. When the British war eagles gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and when the wings of British fighter jets could no longer provide shelter on the ground and at sea, Germany could finally enjoy the advantages of air power.

"I've seen your requests for the Air Force. Some people asked for frontline support from bombers, some people asked for strikes against British targets in depth, and some people asked for strangulation warfare on the rear lines of communication. What you said makes sense, but I I believe that the efficiency of using the air force in this way is still low! Although we have huge advantages, the resources of the air force are still relatively limited. Therefore, we must invest our air power in the most critical areas! For example, the English Channel and the opposite London!"

　　 The prince drew an oval on the map at the eastern end of the English Channel with his putter. Enclosed London, Dover, Dunkirk, Calais and other places.

"It goes without saying that London is the heart of the empire where the sun never sets. Every bomb that falls on London will make the British feel heartbroken! What about the French coastal ports? This is the most important port from England to France. Every day, There will be hundreds of ships of various kinds set off from here, loaded with weapons, ammunition, food and fuel to France. Dunkirk, Calais and other ports are the places to receive these materials, here is not just the main artery of the British Expeditionary Force It is one of the most important fuel transportation routes for the French! Therefore, the British transport ships in the Strait of Dover can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Allied Forces."

"Before, someone asked to attack these places, but I refused at the time because I thought the time was not ripe. But now, when we can organize a round of bombing by thousands of planes, it's time for the British to be in our hands. The wing is trembling! We are going to use bombs and deaths to tell the British that the English Channel that has sheltered them for hundreds of years does not make them feel safe! What the French cannot do, we may not be able to do it!" Ruprecht The prince said passionately.

"Although I don't know much about the air force, I want to say that attacking ships in the Strait of Dover and bombing British cities including London are two goals. The limited attack power is allocated to both targets at the same time. Isn't it right?" General House said with some confusion.

　　 "Yes, these are indeed two goals. Although the two are different, they can promote each other!" The prince nodded and said.

"In addition to the level of software and hardware in the bombing, the most important thing is to reduce the interference of the opponent's air power as much as possible. From a tactical point of view, we can't let the British wait for work over a battlefield! Let alone the result, We have suffered a lot from the fighting situation. We have to have multiple choices. Then, we play a guessing game with the British and let them guess where we will appear, or that the British are willing to spread our forces."

"Secondly, from a strategic point of view, the number of front-line casualties for the British personnel is really a bit misty. It is far less shocking than the shock caused by a bomb falling on your door! War has never been just a head-to-head battle. It is also a confrontation between spirit and will. I think that it is necessary to bring some pressure to the British at this time."

"It is true that from a purely military point of view, the current bomber's ammunition capacity will cause a very limited attack on a city of London's level. However, the British will definitely not ignore this limited damage. This will lead to people’s distrust of the government. Therefore, they must deploy a large number of antiaircraft artillery and fighter jets in these cities, and allocate sufficient combat personnel. The British are now reorganizing their air force to bring bomber-based offensive forces. Change to a fighter-based defense force. We can't give them this opportunity, we must force them to fight us! This is the military significance of our attack on the British mainland ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course, there is another problem. Prompted us to attack the British mainland, that is, General Halder told me that the Strait of Dover is too small for a four-digit plane!" Ruprecht said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

　　 "Will such a large-scale attack affect the future offensive of our army?" General Crook frowned and asked. After all, judging from the current plan proposed by the prince, the intensity of this air strike is high enough. And it is predictable that the loss will not be small. After all, this time you directly pressed the British man's neck. At the critical moment of life and death, the British will definitely fight to the death!

"The air support that I promised before can still be honored when the attack is launched. This time, our air superiority is very large, so we can squander a little. At the same time, not only the air force but also the naval air force will undertake this attack. You can rest assured," Ruprecht said.

　　 "Well, if there are no comments, I think we can prepare to implement this plan. In the future, I am afraid it will become an unforgettable nightmare for the British!" Ruprecht said.

And long before the meeting, the entire western German air force and even the German naval air force in the Baltic Sea had prepared for this operation codenamed Dover Thunder, which is different from all previous battles. This time, Germany The air force launched a long-term strangulation operation against the British fleet with escorts in the navy. And there is a battle with British interceptors! There are challenges, but the rewards are definitely greater!
