Chapter 1139: Preparation 2

Although the number will not be more than the first wave, according to the prince's calculations, these two batches can release at least 7 percent of the aircraft of the Wittelsbach! After all, these are two waves of planes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Of course, for these cats, the prince has no meaning to explain to Admiral Pol now, and he will talk about winning the battle first!

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

"That's right." The prince replied simply.

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

"The more the merrier, hitting 4 rounds is a passing grade, if you hit 6 shots, you will be given a salary increase, and if you hit 8 shots, your rank of lieutenant general will be down!" The prince said very generously.

"And how do you count a bomb hit?" Harrell actually began to think like a businessman.

"17 bombers, 3 hits will count you as passing, 5 hits, your salary will increase by one level, hit 7 shots, there is no problem with your viscount!" The prince said.

"Okay, then it's decided!" The Major General's answer was also very crisp. 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 pile, Rear Admiral Harrell thinks that if you pile up a battleship, it is really not a big problem!

"If the Bavaria-class battleships had limited speed and power. If we adopt the tactics we have developed before, every 4 torpedo planes in a group, and every two groups at the same time to strike from both sides of the battleship, we will have at least 8 planes in each wave, and it is normal to hit 1 or 2 torpedoes without taking into account interference. ”

"Torpedo squadrons are grouped in groups of four, and they drop mines in a fan shape, and the attack range is between 500 and 600 meters. The attack interval is around 10 seconds. Before the main attack group can attack, we can arrange for a small number of torpedo planes to carry out a harassing attack. It is used to consume the maneuverability and surplus power of the opposing ship. "Rear Admiral Harrell first arranged the way of attack of the torpedo machines.

"As for bomb attacks? How to put it, I have always believed that the accuracy of low-altitude horizontal bombing is not high, and the lethality is limited in the face of capital ships. Therefore, I suggested that the bomber unit should bomb after the torpedo planes had attacked in two waves and had already damaged the opponent. It's always more accurate to hit a slow target than a fast one. ”

"As for liaison, one of our four-plane formations is equipped with a dual-purpose radio station, and the remaining three are equipped with only a receiver. Between the combat distance will not be very far, even in real combat it is enough. The major general added that radios have always been a high-value item in World War 1, so it is obviously difficult to equip every single-engine carrier-based aircraft with dual-purpose radios. Therefore, the Germans adopted the method of equipping the captain aircraft with a dual-purpose radio, and the other aircraft were only equipped with a receiving device.

The horizontal bombing of this era is really not powerful, and if it is dive bombing, the structural strength of the Sea Hawk 1 does not allow for too large angle dives, in fact, in the opinion of Major General Harrell, if the prince intends to do something absolute, it will be directly on the 45 all-torpedo planes. Anyway, don't think about the opponent's air defense! But Major General Harrell felt that the prince's remnants of discipline made the plan less than perfect......

(Harrell: As long as you can be promoted and make a fortune, what kind of target ship is being beaten?!) Anyway, Lao Tzu is not from the navy! )

In fact, the fundamental reason why the prince still arranged torpedo planes to participate in this somewhat utilitarian exercise was that when preparing to attack the Gulf of Riga in the future, the naval aviation would have to carry out the mission of ground attack, and it would not be ......possible for you to throw torpedoes at fortresses or other ground targets. You can only throw bombs!

Needless to say, the torpedo can be used to remove the fuse and explosives with the existing torpedo, and then replace it with the counterweight, how to solve the problem of the bomb. Major General Harrell gave the opinion of using a 50KG training bomb, which had exactly the same trajectory as a 300KG bomb, with a dye on the head of the bomb, and after the wooden body was broken, the dye inside would spill out. There is absolutely no way to pay for it after hitting, and even if you miss the bullet, you can leave a trace, which is simple, safe, and convenient!

The final order of attack was finalized in such a way that the first wave was 4 torpedo planes for a tentative attack, then the second wave was 8 torpedo planes, and after the attack, the third wave was 8 bombers! The fourth wave was again 8 torpedo machines, and the last wave was 8 torpedo machines plus 8 bombers! Well, that's it for now! Murderous enough, chaotic enough. So much so that even the prince thought that this time Major General Harrell would be added to the knighthood.

As for the specific training, the prince handed it over directly to Major General Haral. In the days leading up to the exercises, the prince even had time to write a letter to his wife, asking about the situation at home and the internal problems of Austria-Hungary, and had the opportunity to send a sincere greeting to Prince Leopold, and at the same time ask how he lived in the Romanian royal palace.

That's right, you read that right, during this time, it took no more than 2 weeks to prepare, and under the command of Prince Leopold, 8 divisions of the Bavarian and Bohemian regiments with the cooperation of the Hungarian regiments had already broken through the defense lines of the Romanian regiments, and the Romanian troops of about 600,000 in 4 armies were annihilated and 250,000 were captured! Romania's military power can be considered to exist in name only.

Of course, there was nothing to boast about in the defeat of the Romanian army, and most importantly, because it was too fast, the rapid assault force under the Prince's command had already captured the oil wells and refineries before the Romanians destroyed the Ploiesti oil fields. And the railroad that was supposed to connect Germany and Turkey also fell into the hands of the Germans, although it was somewhat destroyed by the Romanians, but it was only a matter of two weeks to repair.

In addition to what the princes expected, the Bavarian legion received additional supplies and funds, such as hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, meat, and forage to be shipped to Russia. Another example is gold and precious metals in the Romanian treasury. The Germans attacked so fast that the precious supplies changed hands before the Romanians could react.

"That seems like a good sign." The prince muttered to himself after writing two letters.

"Your Highness, according to the latest notice, His Majesty the Kaiser will be coming to the port of Kiel at 10 a.m. tomorrow." Just then, a guard walked in and reported.

"Okay. I will go in person. The prince motioned for the other party to leave, "What is this exercise going on?" I'll see. The prince muttered to himself as he looked out the window in the distance at the battleship Saxony anchored in Wilhelmshaven.
