Chapter 80: Embarkation
Today, Otowa didn't go to the school, but went straight to the port not far away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, the fighters of the Ministry of Aviation will take off from the aircraft carrier of the Ministry of Navigation, so Betty pulled everyone from the Ministry of Aviation early in the morning and came to the port where the battleship of the Ministry of Aviation was located.
Unlike aviation and armor, students of the Navigation program are not trained on land, but on a separate academy ship.
Because of this, the main warships of the Navigation Department also follow the academy ships all year round, and only the ships participating in this competition are docked in the harbor.
A total of eight warships were moored in the harbor, the largest being a Cypriot light aircraft carrier, followed by a New Orleans-class heavy cruiser.
As for the light cruisers, there is an Atlanta-class for air defense and a Cleveland-class for ground fire suppression.
The destroyers chose four Fletcher-class, which had the advantage of carrying anti-aircraft radar. Just place a ship at a key location to prevent a surprise attack from the opposite side to a large extent.
This time, there was no fleet on the other side, and the biggest threat to one's own ships was the enemy's army fighters, so compared with Japanese warships designed with the concept of a decisive battle of the fleet, American warships with stronger air defense were more popular.
The VT bombs of the US imperialists were really black technology in World War II, and a cruiser like Atlanta, which was covered with large-caliber rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, was simply an aircraft killer.
"From today onwards, this is the mothership of our Ministry of Aviation. ”
After boarding the Saipan, Betty looked quite excited.
The Saiban light aircraft carrier, modeled after the Independence class, was rebuilt on the basis of the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser, which resembles the Independence class in appearance, but has a slightly larger displacement, similar to the "Assault", reaching 14,500 tons.
Even though it is a light mother, the Saipan is still 200 meters long and looks very formidable.
The Saipan's anti-aircraft firepower was also quite formidable, with five quadruple 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, 10 twin guns, and several 20mm cannons.
Bofors is strong, blown, invincible, and has said that it is good to use it.
The only drawback is probably that there are too few planes on board, only 48, but this time the Ministry of Aviation dispatched only 30 fighters, which is not a problem.
At this time, all the fighters of the Ministry of Aviation had been loaded into the hangar of the aircraft carrier, and the deck looked very clean.
"Okay, let's go to the tactical analysis room first, and I'll tell you about the tactics this time. Betty said with a smile.
---------------I'm a dividing line--------------
The tactical analysis room in the aircraft carrier is very rudimentary, at least compared to the black technology analysis room in the headquarters of the Ministry of Aviation.
Except for some mechanisms that can make the battleship more automated, the other facilities on the ship are really restored to the battleship of the World War II era, and the same is true for the tactical analysis room.
"Before announcing the tactics, let's announce the lineup this time. ”
Betty finished speaking, and Jacenia continued.
"This time we have a configuration of 20 fighters, 10 attack aircraft. AMONG THE 20 FIGHTERS ARE EIGHT SEAFIRE FMK.XVII, 4 SPITFIRE FMK.XIE, FOUR LA-7B-20, TWO LA-11, plus two BF109K-4. As for the attack aircraft, all of them are modified with B7A2 Meteors. ”
Those two BF109K-4s were obviously Betty and her wingman, and in this kind of low-altitude bureau that was obviously not suitable for BF109, only Betty would choose this thing.
It is also easy to understand why others would rather choose the La-7B-20 than the La-11, because the La-7B-20 has a full 130 rounds of ammunition for each cannon, while the La-11 has only 75 rounds of ammunition for each cannon, which is almost half.
Although the NS-23 is extremely powerful, the muzzle velocity of the shell is not as good as that of the B-20, that is, the trajectory is not as good as that of the B-20.
In this case, the La-7B-20 is clearly a better option.
However, this is not a problem for Otowa, there are fewer shells, just aim a little, and with the power of the NS-23, it only needs to hit a few shots to shoot down a fighter. Slow muzzle velocity? This is better to solve, when aiming, you can calculate more in advance, anyway, the accuracy of the shaft gun is absolutely no problem, as long as the aim is good, it will definitely be able to hit the opposite side.
"As for tactics, there is nothing to choose from, after all, the goal of this game is too direct, and there is not much room for maneuvering. Betty paused, then continued: "This operation is divided into three phases, the first phase is under the responsibility of our aviation department, and the target is the large-caliber shore defense artillery deployed on the island. ”
"The second stage was under the responsibility of the Navigation Department, and the objective of the operation was to clear the enemy forces from the landing site with the guns of the battleships. ”
"The third stage is the stage of the Panzer Department, where they will break into the island from tank landing craft and fight the defenders on the island, and we will also be responsible for providing them with aviation support. ”
If you don't get rid of the shore defense guns, your own warships will not be able to get close to the coast for fire suppression, and without the fire suppression of the battleships, the armored vehicles will suffer heavy losses when they land. Therefore, the first wave of the Ministry of Aviation can only choose to attack the shore defense artillery, and the opposite side naturally knows this, and the two sides can only fight head-on, and there are not so many tactics to choose from.
Of course, the opposite side can also choose to change homes, directly sell shore defense artillery at the beginning, and then wash the fleet in waves. However, the anti-aircraft firepower of the eight warships on Oarai's side is not an ornament, and forcibly changing homes is not a wise choice.
"This time, we will organize all the fighters to act together, and we will directly open with a wave of 30 planes, and seize air supremacy while suppressing the coastal defense artillery. ”
After listening to Betty's words, Otoha suddenly fell into deep thought.
The opposite side will almost 100% dispatch all its combat forces to defend, and it is very likely that there will be a large-scale air battle of 40-60 planes at that time. At that time, the fight was very chaotic, and even the ace pilot was very likely to be taken away by a round of shells flying from nowhere.
However, while the high risk is also high, the return is also high. It can be said that there are targets everywhere in the battle, and there is a high probability that they are defenseless, so Otowa can easily take them out.
And Otowa found that in addition to his super high artillery skills and overload-resistant body, he also seemed to have the ability to avoid misfortune. If someone attacks her, she's always the first to sense it.
In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the melee, and Otowa still has the confidence to fish in troubled waters.
