Chapter 2489: 2 hands ready for two

"Your perspective is very special, but I remember you weren't from an aviation background?" Su Xiong didn't expect that Raidel would conduct research on naval aviation, so he asked.

"After the Norwegian naval battle, I have been studying in a senior officer training class, and the instructor was General Harar Air Force of Bavaria. He has deep research on sea-based and land-based aviation." Said.

"That's the case. I still know how to learn and improve when the war is won. This kind of spirit is rarely seen among the current senior officers of the German High Seas Fleet. I can't wait for the next war, but you will It will shine in the future." Su Xiong said with some emotion.

The old generation of high-ranking German navy generals can be said to have reached the bar, and if there is another war in the future, Crown Prince Ruprecht estimates that it is impossible to continue to fight with the German fleet in the Quartet, so now the training of a new generation of naval generals becomes The most important thing. Ryder is one, Earl Luknar is another. Judging from the ranks, these two buddies are already lieutenant generals. It's high-level, but not top high-level. Not only was he far away from Scheer, Hipper, and Earl Spey, but also a certain distance from Su Xiong.

After the war, those marshals turned more to administrative work and strategic discussions, while the actual tactical work was handed over to people at the level of Raidel. Of course, before they formally grew up, they would definitely have to do so. Xiong these people help bring it. Just like this time, it was Su Xiong who took Raidel to experience the copy of the Pacific Battlefield. The next time it was Hipper or Earl Spey who brought Count Luknar to this copy, it would also be considered to prevent the German admiral from not picking up. An important measure of it. In order to open up the wasteland, Raidel and the others still have to learn some necessary knowledge.

"But both the airplane and the pilot can add." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"It's not the same. After all, an aircraft carrier cannot be compared with a land-based airport. Even if the aircraft, pilots and materials are sufficient, the number of take-offs and landings is fixed every day, because the maintenance space is so small, the maintenance personnel are also limited, and the speed is not Soon. At the beginning, General Harrell once described to us the frequency of the Bavarian Air Force in the fierce battlefield on the Western Front. In a day, a fighter can be dispatched about 6 times! And a pilot can be dispatched 4 times! But on an aircraft carrier On board, because of space and arrangement issues, a single pilot dispatched twice a day is the limit!" Raidel said.

(What? You ask why an airplane can be dispatched more than 6 times, but the pilot only dispatches 4 times? It's very simple, the airplane can change pilots!)

"Furthermore, the aircraft of an aircraft carrier is also affected by the sea conditions. The carrier itself is not so safe. After all, you can build bomb-proof hangars on land, but the defense of the aircraft carrier is very weak. More importantly, the pilot training on the aircraft carrier It’s even more troublesome. Let’s not say anything else. Just taking off and landing on a ship is enough to recruit a large number of qualified land-based pilots. So on the whole, even if there are a steady stream of aircraft to supplement, I still don’t consider the United States as optimistic. People," Raidel said.

Although the United States is very rich and strong, in terms of training pilots, apart from Germany, which started to engage in aviation clubs to prepare pilot seeds before the war, pilots from all other countries are actually not enough, including Zeng. Today’s extremely powerful Britain and the United States are the same. Even during the Great War, the Americans prepared for the Pacific War, and the Americans still had a small reserve of carrier-based pilots. After all, even in the preparations for the war, the Americans were systematically trained. The total time of carrier-based pilots is not more than 3 years! And Bavaria has been at least 8 years since the establishment of its first aviation club! This gap cannot be made up by stacking money alone!

"Your perspective is really unique, but the Americans can build air defense umbrellas for the entire navy and army by building airfields on land. You should have seen the speed at which the US engineering forces build airfields. They have prepared a large number of prefabricated panels to directly Paved on the leveled and rolled land as a runway." Su Xiong thought for a while and said.

"If it’s an island like Guinea, it should be fine, but it’s a pity that the topography of New Ireland has made the United States’ plan to build an airport quickly in frustration. You should be very clear that New Ireland is a long and narrow island from east to west. It is 350 kilometers, and even in the widest southeast direction, it is only 40 kilometers. What does this mean? If the Japanese deploy long-range artillery in the middle of the island, they can directly cover the beachhead... You I know, there are not many places suitable for building an airport. We know that the Japanese must know it too. And they have taken precautions. The Japanese have a full two years to prepare for this trap." Raidel said.

New Ireland is an island that is very unfriendly to the offensive... Because it is not big or small, but also because of its shape and geographical environment! He is a barrier to the north of Rabaul. It is unrealistic to attack Rabaul directly over the past, thinking that you will be attacked by air forces from New Ireland and Rabaul! Although there is a strait between the two islands ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is very short and can mobilize troops to support each other.

The island of New Ireland has a large area of ​​more than 8,600 square kilometers. Therefore, the Japanese have some places to deploy a large number of troops, and even the Japanese have opened up wasteland on the island for farming. After more than two years of preparation, the Japanese troops stationed on the island have achieved a certain degree of self-sufficiency in food...

Then let’s talk about the shape. If the island is a square island, if the Americans control some beachheads in the same area, then there is no need to go deep into the island to clear it up, thinking that the Japanese army deep in the jungle is impossible because of the distance. Too much impact on the US military.

But it’s a pity that this is a long and narrow island. Just like what Raidel said just now, in the widest place, you can set up a 150MM cannon similar to the German K09 to cover the north and south sides of the island. Problem! K09 has a range of 20 kilometers on flat ground, and the gun position can be on the mountain or at altitude. With the height difference, the shells can hit farther!

A suitable gun position, long-term bunkers, and a few heavy land guns imported from the United Kingdom can make the US Army in a certain landing field unstoppable!
