Chapter 2700: Material enemy
Of course, the specific aviation tactics are formulated by professional aviation personnel. For example, Major General Mitchell, who previously killed the Japanese raid ship with Su Xiong, is right. You read that right. This guy is finishing a war. Later became a major general. And now he is on the USS Constellation aircraft carrier has also become the flagship of the US Navy aircraft carrier detachment.
"In order to ensure that the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft have sufficient rest time, and to ensure that the pilots of each warship can get the baptism of war, I believe that after entering the theater, the five aircraft carriers will take turns to perform air defense tasks. The aircraft carrier executes for half a day." Mitchell said.
"This is ok. After entering the war zone, the Constellation will be the first day, and then Independence, Zeppelin, Langley and Assault." Old Fletcher said solemnly. "I repeat the battlefield discipline. Unless it can be determined that they will encounter Japanese warships, all aircraft responsible for reconnaissance shall not actively report to the fleet! Besides navigation information, the aircraft carrier detachment will not take the initiative to contact you." It seems the last time. During the war, the performance of the Japanese in communications and radio made the American general remember deeply!
"Plus, if you encounter any unidentified aircraft, the pilot can directly choose to shoot down without reporting." Mitchell added one more point.
"Well, this can also be implemented." After only considering the time for less than half a minute, Fletcher also agreed to this obviously radical approach.
"Now we should think about what we should do after entering the Tarragon Island area." Logan said and distributed some documents to the officers present.
"If our time and voyage estimates are accurate, then we should enter the 100 nautical miles assault distance at around 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the First Battleship Detachment will take 5 hours to reach Taragen Island! In other words! , The attack will be launched in the early morning, and before the fleet launches an attack, we need to send a reconnaissance plane to investigate the situation of the island." Logan said.
"We have already thought about this problem. There are two types of detection, namely, visual detection and electromagnetic detection. We will carry out this task with planes painted in Japanese. In order to prevent being shot down by our own fire, we will add special identification marks. Yes. Visual inspection is of course to determine the situation of ships and infrastructure in the port, while radio inspection is to determine the surrounding Japanese military forces and communications. We will accurately locate each radio release point and evaluate the content of the telegram. "Mitchell said.
"If I remember correctly, in the Taragen Island theater, Japan has at least one seaplane squadron and three airports. There are a lot of planes in these airports?" Logan asked.
"Yes, the main task of the seaplane squadron is anti-submarine. The Japanese obviously also know the importance of this area, so they have specially deployed aviation anti-submarine capacity. As for the aircraft at other airports? Most of these aircraft seem to belong to the reserve air force. Yes, because there is ample oil here, the Japanese chose to arrange some reserve training units nearby. The combat effectiveness is very limited." Mitchell said.
"It seems that this word is best not to appear in the battle plan. Since the Japanese will choose to deploy seaplanes for anti-submarine, then the aircraft in these airports may also be regular combat troops, for example, the front-line disabled squadron will retreat and supplement them. We can’t take these forces lightly.” Logan was a little dissatisfied with Mitchell’s explanation. "Can we use naval guns to kill these airports?" Logan asked afterwards.
"Impossible. These airports are not deployed on Taragen Island, but on Kalimantan Island to the north, which has clearly exceeded the range of the naval gun. In this plan, the carrier-based aircraft force may not Performed a ground attack mission. On the one hand, because of limited output, and on the other hand, because time is not allowed, we will only stay on the battlefield for less than a day, and we will evacuate the next morning. If we consider sending bombers to attack If it does, it needs to be delayed at least 4 to 5 hours." Mitchell said.
"If we can't destroy it, then we must consider the other side's revenge. By the time of the day, we need to send fighter troops to cover the evacuation of the First Battleship Squadron from Taragen Island." Logan said. "Should be enough fighter jets for two aircraft carriers?"
"The problem shouldn't be big. Our battle time is about 3 to 4 hours. After all the high-explosive bombs are lit up, the fleet will withdraw. Before dawn, we can go out 60 to 70 nautical miles. Even if it starts to take off at dawn, the other party thinks I am afraid it will be difficult to find us. Two aircraft carrier fighters can provide at least about 70 fighters. As long as we can target the torpedo aircraft, even if there are bombers attacking the battleship, it will not cause much damage." Mitchell said.
"Well, it seems that our plan is perfect. If it is not discovered by the Japanese army, then we will complete the mission smoothly, but you should be clear that we have to travel thousands of kilometers, of which more than one third The voyage is sailed within the scope of Japanese control, especially the Sulawesi Sea, which is the key control area of Japan. Even if we arrange sailing at night as much as possible and try our best to control all the ships we encounter, if we are found, What shall we do if the Japanese fleet follows behind?" Logan asked.
"Their fleet hasn't completed the preparation. And even if they come to intercept, they are definitely not our opponents. Both the capital and auxiliary warships are not as good as ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said old Fletcher.
"But if the **** of war is not on our side this time, what will happen in time? It is the worst situation we have set in the plan. We cover the retreat of the first battleship squadron, and this time, the Japanese battleship and the aircraft carrier Our aircraft carrier squadron and the second battleship squadron launched an offensive." Logan asked.
When Logan raised this question, Americans tended to avoid it, because they did not believe that as God’s chosen people, they would be saddened to such an extent. However, war is war, and any hidden danger or possibility may exist. Transformed into reality on the battlefield, therefore, the so-called lenient expectation of the enemy means this, and if this happens, even if the US Navy, which has a superior total force, will be at a disadvantage due to the dispersion of its forces, naval battles? Everyone knows that sometimes half an hour is decisive. In the Battle of New Ireland, it didn’t take long whether it was the Suxiong fleet stealing the King Kong-class battlecruiser or the Japanese’s last counter-attack.. .....
