Chapter 583: Carrier-based Aircraft (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

In the decisive battle between the German Navy and the British Navy, two aircraft carriers of the German Navy, the Pioneer and the Glory, took part in that decisive battle. Two aircraft carriers released carrier-based aircraft and launched strikes against the capital ships of the British Navy. Carrier-based aircraft dropped torpedoes directly, which cost the British Navy heavy losses.

Although, due to technical limitations, the current carrier-based aircraft can only carry light torpedoes. However, the early models of dreadnoughts of the British Navy were too weak to resist even light torpedoes.

Of course, the decisive role in the defeat of the German Navy over the British Navy was by battleships and battlecruisers. However, the powerful strength of the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft is still eye-catching.

Because of the relationship between Qin and Tian, Germany became the first country in the world to build aircraft carriers and use carrier-based aircraft. In this field, they are already completely at the leading level in the world. But even so, the German Navy continues to develop this area. Because, now their aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are undoubtedly far from the standards and requirements put forward by Qin Tian.

After the 'Pioneer' aircraft carrier, the German Navy has a total of four aircraft carriers under construction. These four aircraft carriers have a much larger displacement than the 'Pioneer-class' aircraft carriers, with a full load displacement of more than 26,000 tons. This allows aircraft carriers to have larger flight decks and larger hangars that can accommodate more combat aircraft. This class of aircraft carriers was named the 'Wilhelm the Great' aircraft carrier. The first ship was named the aircraft carrier 'Kaiser Wilhelm the Great', and the other three were named 'Frederick III', 'Wilhelm II' and 'Wilhelm III'.

The aircraft carrier "Kaiser Wilhelm", capable of carrying 64 combat aircraft. Among them were 18 fighters, 24 bombers and 24 torpedo attack aircraft. The previous 'Pioneer-class' aircraft carriers carried fighter jets and torpedo attack aircraft. Due to the limitations of technical conditions, it is difficult for bombers taking off from aircraft carriers to hit surface targets, unless they are carrying out dive bombing. Therefore, a torpedo attack, which is easier to hit the target, was chosen as a last resort. However, after the outbreak of the war, technology also advanced tremendously. The Navy's armament of bombers can barely meet the needs of bombing surface targets. Although the angle of the dive is not large, the hit rate is relatively low. But at least it won't be as low as before, and the hit rate will be unbearably low. This made it possible for bombers to get on board. At the same time, the armor of the battleship is thickest, generally speaking, the waterline armor, the frontal armor of the turret and the armor of the conning tower, and the deck armor is relatively weak. Once attacked from the sky, it is difficult to withstand the weak armor. In the future, all formations of the 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' aircraft carriers will be equipped with bombers and torpedo planes at the same time, so as to further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier's aircraft force.

Although, at present, four aircraft carriers of the 'Kaiser Wilhelm class' have not yet been able to enter service. However, the carrier-based aircraft unit has already begun training and has formed combat effectiveness. When the 'Kaiser Wilhelm-class' aircraft carrier is put into service, it will be able to immediately go on board the ship and form combat effectiveness.

It was these carrier-based aircraft that Qin Tian intended to use against the main force of the fleet consisting of former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers of the British Navy. Involving them in this attack is undoubtedly a drill that is close to actual combat.

After Qin Tian's order was issued, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Imperial Navy immediately began to prepare. A large number of carrier-based aircraft, through one transfer after another, went to the airfield near Le Havre to stand by.

Fortunately, although France's aviation industry was inferior to Germany's, French fighters were defeated by German fighters in the war. However, there are still a number of airports built throughout France. Not far from Le Havre, there are two airports. This allowed four carrier-based aircraft wings to be stationed at these airfields, which had been transferred from within Germany.

The commander of the German 1st Army, Admiral Crook, and the chief of staff of the 8th Army, Lieutenant General Ludendorff, personally rushed to the airfield to welcome the arrival of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit. After all, these carrier-based aircraft units are here to help them this time.

"Hello, General!" Commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the German Navy von ? Lieutenant General Ingnoll personally commanded the battle.

Because the aircraft carrier formation of the German Navy is still in its infancy. The various establishments are relatively chaotic. In order to ensure the training and development of carrier-based aircraft units, a carrier-based aircraft command has been set up to take charge of it. Feng? Lieutenant General Ingnoll was the first commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit.

"Hello, General Ingnorr. Thank you for helping us! Admiral Crook also had a smile on his face.

These days, he and Lieutenant General Ludendorff are under extreme pressure. Now, all these pressures have disappeared with the arrival of carrier-based aircraft units. If the carrier-based aircraft force can solve the British fleet in one fell swoop, then they will have almost no problem taking Le Havre.

"General, we are just carrying out orders. What's more, the British despicable and shameless use of the fleet to shell the army was originally a rather shameless way of fighting. The Imperial Navy naturally can't let them run rampant like this! Lieutenant General Ingnoll said.

"Very well, General Ingnoor, I look forward to the carrier-based aircraft force of the Imperial Navy, to take out all those battleships of the British, and to avenge the officers and men of the army who died under their shelling." Admiral Crook said.

"Yes, General. We'll do it! "Lieutenant General Ingnoll is full of confidence.

The four carrier-based aircraft wings that went out this time were the latest carrier-based aircraft equipped by the German Navy. Aerial bombs weighing two hundred and fifty kilograms carried by bombers. And the torpedo attack aircraft carried 450-mm heavy torpedoes. In terms of power, it is naturally much more powerful than the previous light torpedoes. The defense of the former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers of the British Navy, which was not very good in the first place, was not very good. In the face of the siege of the carrier-based aircraft forces of the German Navy, it is natural to imagine what will happen to them.

Unfortunately, neither the British Expeditionary Force nor the Royal Navy knew that a crisis had befallen them. They were also cheering for stopping the German assault on Le Havre. I thought that the German army was already poor in donkey skills, and there was no way to take them. Soon, they will learn how wrong they are.
