Chapter 1065: Massacre 2
Anti-Piracy Chapter ~~~! The old time has changed~~~!!
Why did the prince dare to personally lead the team to fight the British fleet? Why did the German fleet easily score 6 to 0 in Operation Thunder-Thurbrus and complete a god-like killing? In addition to strategic calculations, isn't it because German battleships can easily penetrate the armor of British battleships, and as long as they hit the right position, they can completely kill a battleship? And the British battleships could only rely on high-explosive shells to slowly wash away their opponents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I can punch you through, you can't punch me. This is the technical basis for the prince to dare to fight!
Why was it that in history, Hipper could easily kill the three battle cruisers of the British? Even in the case of being yin, can you send your backhand to the sky? Isn't it because the British Battle Patrol is too brittle? And what if you can't penetrate me, and I can't penetrate you?
Please refer to the history of Thomas's queen who successfully turned around under the nose of the German High Seas Fleet! And if it comes to this point, then it can be said very responsibly that it will not be easy for the German Navy to inflict further heavy damage on the British. Because it's hard to kill your opponent, and if you just kill them with explosives, it's too inefficient. Don't you see that the Cedritz has come back with 5,000 tons of water? If the compressed air cylinders in the torpedo compartment of Lütsov had not exploded, then perhaps not a single German BC would have been lost.
And this time, when Count Spee realized that it was difficult for German naval guns to penetrate the armor of the Japanese fleet, he felt that the situation was not good, because the Entente had found a layout that could block German armor-piercing shells, that is to say, the problem of survivability was basically solved, and the so-called ability to stand up can have output, which everyone who has played DOTA understands, Count has not played, but people also understand it.......
"Even at a distance of about 12,000 meters, our armor-piercing projectiles could not penetrate the core compartment of the Japanese Fuso-class battleships. Personally, I think that even the 15-inch naval guns of the Bavaria-class battleships are estimated to be difficult to penetrate the opponent at a distance of 15,000 kilometers. The Japanese Fuso-class battleships were successful defensively, and if the British had borrowed from the Japanese and improved the follow-up ships, it would have been very difficult for us to sink our opponents. In the report, the Count wrote without worry.
"Judging from the experience of this engagement, it is better to use semi-armor-piercing shells to attack Fuso-class battleships when it is impossible to penetrate the opponent's armor, and the defense of non-key protection areas of Fuso-class battleships can only be regarded as average, and the armor belt of only 3 to 4 inches at the beginning and tail is very fragile, and it cannot even resist the attack of medium-caliber naval guns. At the same time, the horizontal armor of the Fuso-class battleships may be relatively fragile, and we have observed suspected breakdown data at the same time. That shell should have hit the power compartment in the middle of the hull. After the hit, the Japanese battleship showed noticeable signs of slowing down. It shouldn't just be the destruction of the flue. ”
"On the whole, the level of combat quality of the Japanese Navy is relatively high, according to our statistical hit rate, the Japanese Navy is slightly higher than the United Forces, and the United Forces is the highest quality team in the entire Austro-Hungarian fleet, and comparing the fleet gunnery since several naval battles in the same direction, I think that the level of the Japanese Navy is higher than that of the French and Austro-Hungarian fleets, slightly higher than the level of the British Grand Fleet, and even within the German High Seas Fleet, it is considered to be an upper-middle level, this is a fleet that cannot be ignored."
"The Japanese Navy's auxiliary fleet was very tenacious, and in this naval battle, in order to cover the retreat of the main fleet, all eight destroyers were sunk, and even when our side was overwhelmingly superior, the Japanese destroyer force still launched a decisive charge, this spirit is amazing. Relatively speaking, I thought that the quality of the Japanese destroyer forces was higher, and the battle, which I thought could be ended in 10 minutes, was delayed for a full 20 minutes. ”
In the subsequent documents, the Count also mentioned the importance of aviation power, but unlike the Japanese, the Count emphasized the importance of aviation reconnaissance for correctional shooting! "The aircraft can easily avoid the smoke screen released by the battleship and provide bomb drop point information for their own warship through the radio, the main opponent's smoke screen is not thick enough to cover a large area of the sea, then the covering effect of the smoke screen is very limited, we still achieved a good hit rate by relying on aircraft correction in the case of the Japanese battleship releasing the smoke screen, only about 4 percent lower than the normal situation! This was unimaginable before.
"I once asked the pilots of the seaplanes that their planes seemed to have a residual carrying capacity in addition to carrying fuel, so I kept wondering if it would be possible to equip the seaplanes with flares and other auxiliary tools, which would be very helpful for us to attack targets at night, even at night, if the seaplanes were equipped with their own lights, then it should be feasible to recover them through specialized seaplane carriers."
"I once read some materials of the Air Force, and I suddenly realized that the air defense of the fleet has reached a problem that needs to be considered, the original machine gun has too close range, and the 88MM anti-mine gun cannot be used for air defense at all, either in terms of shooting or reaction speed, and the 40MM machine gun equipped by the army is not bad (2-pounder gun in Bavaria). Hope to be able to provide us with some if you can. If that doesn't work, you can also provide some large-caliber machine guns to make do with. ”
"Of course, there is a cheaper and more efficient way to equip the seaplane with a large-caliber machine gun, or simply to put two pontoons on the fighter to use as a seaplane." Suddenly, the count felt as if he had caught something, and he realized that what he was thinking was important, but he was a little confused, so he decided to write it down and give it to the prince, so that the mighty Bavarian prince could solve the problem!
At this point, the technical part of the earl's campaign report is basically completed, and the rest of the content is all kinds ......of crying poverty, hoping to get more personnel, materials and accessories from the mainland, and after a moment of hesitation, he also specifically talked about the concealment of 2 percent of the materials in stock. At the same time, he stressed that the Allied forces should pay attention to the situation in the Balkans, noting that Greece was ready to move, and Romania seemed to be waiting and seeing. Then, after looking at it on his own and feeling that nothing would go wrong, he handed it over to the adjutant.
"Remember, concealing material reserves when necessary is for the sake of victory in the war, and concealing food, alcohol, and candy is a compulsory course for a commander, and if it can't satisfy the stomach of a soldier, then don't think about gaining the support of the soldiers." Afterwards, the Count taught his students so triumphantly.
