Vol. 23 Springboard for Advancement Section 10 New Tactics [2nd Update]

After getting the results of the exercise, Tan Renhao was not happy at all. At the same time, another bomber group of the Second Task Force also "raided" the Third Task Force, and only about half of the bombers were "shot down," while the three battleships of the Third Task Force were all judged to be "sunk." That is to say, the Second Task Force "killed" the warships of the two task forces at a "cost" of less than 20 bombers!

At first, Tan Renhao did not believe the verdict at all, and after sending people to check the exercise records, he had to admit that the "sneak attack" of the Second Task Force was a complete victory, and the First Task Force and the Third Task Force were "defeated." Of course, this exercise was an internal exercise of the First Fleet, and the main purpose of the exercise at that time was to attract the attention of the Germans, and to cover the cause and effect of the Fifth Task Force and the landing fleet, and it was not written into the fleet's service records, so it did not disgrace Tan Renhao. Of course, the second task force belongs to the First Fleet. Its powerful striking force should make Tan Renhao feel proud, not ashamed.

In the early morning of the 16th, the second task force returned to the formation, and Hao Dongjue came to the "Longganhu" aircraft carrier in advance, and Tan Renhao had already received the news. Therefore, I invited the new recommendation in advance.

"Well, you should be convinced this time, right?" Hao Dongjue was very excited, "I said it a long time ago." The Scout Eagle's going to change our tactics, now you should believe it, right? ”

Tan Renhao glanced at Hao Dongjue, then shook his head with a smile. At this time, his main concern was not the new tactics summed up in the exercise, but whether the Fifth Task Force and the landing fleet had reached Britain.

"Let's talk about it later. Have you had breakfast? "Chang Jianxin called Hao Dongjue over." Let's have breakfast first, and then wait for Jiang Zhongmin's news, and then we'll discuss the new tactics later."

■Dong Kaku nodded immediately. Also not so excited. It stands to reason that Task Force 5 and the landing fleet should have entered Pontsmouth Harbour a few hours ago, and Jiang Zhongmin should have sent a message.

"Let's eat here, I'll ask Duchenne to bring it early, what do you order?" Tan Renhao said. While letting stand outside the door of the conference room Duchenne walked over.

"Whatever. Anyway, there are only a few kinds of battleships on the ground early, and there is nothing to choose from."

"Whatever. I didn't have any special requests." Chang Jianxin sat next to Hao Dongjue.

"Then come three copies as early as possible, and send them as soon as possible." Tan Renhao nodded at Duchenne, and then sat down as well.

Duchenne closed the door as he left, and the room fell silent. Hao Dongjue was controlling his excited emotions, and Chang Jianxin looked casual, talking about Renhao so he was calm, but he was worried about whether Jiang Zhongmin's action had been successful. In a short time, Duchenne and two kitchen soldiers brought three copies early. After going out, I took the door with me.

"Eat something first and fill your stomach. Let's wait a little longer." Tan Renhao first picked up the glass containing the milk.

"That's right, at least for now, Lao Lei hasn't taken the initiative to contact me. This proves that the Germans should not have taken action, and Jiang Zhongmin did not send a message, at least to prove that the Fifth Task Force was not in trouble. Perhaps, now they are unloading troops in the harbor." Chang Jianxin picked up the steamed buns that were still steaming." We have nothing to worry about, if there is any surprise, I am afraid we will have received the telegram long ago, and maybe, we have not finished our breakfast. Jiang Zhongmin sent good news."

"As the old saying goes, we don't need to worry." Hao Dongjue became excited again. Ren Hao. Do you know how I discovered your land? ”

Tan Renhao shook his head, to be honest, he was not in the mood to discuss the matter of the drill at this time.

"I'm not blind to you, in fact, in the first two days, I didn't notice your whereabouts at all."

Tan Renhao frowned slightly. Then he looked at Hao Dongjue. Hao Dongjue's suspenseful words made Tan Renhao a little curious.

"You didn't just find out about us yesterday morning, did you?" Chang Jianxin asked directly.

"Of course not, if the reconnaissance plane of the first task force is discovered during the day, even if the ground radar on the battleship does not detect the reconnaissance plane, the fighter patrolling the ground on the periphery of the fleet will not completely fail, right?" Hao Dong laughed meaningfully, "I won't hide it from you, I sent a ground reconnaissance plane to discover your place the night before yesterday."

"At night?" This time, Tan Renhao couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, at night." Dongjue nodded affirmatively, "The first place to be discovered is the Third Task Force. When the reconnaissance planes were about 65 nautical miles away from the 3rd Task Force, they used the huge battleships, and then I arranged for several reconnaissance planes to follow the 3rd Task Force in turn, and at the same time searched for the 1st Task Force near the 3rd Task Force. In the early hours of yesterday morning, the whereabouts of Task Force 1 were discovered. I also arranged for reconnaissance planes to continue tracking Task Force 1 at night."

"Then why didn't you attack in the morning?" Tan Renhao frowned.

"Isn't the exercise going on for three days? If I attack the ground in the morning, the exercise will end early, which is not a good thing, is it? ”

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head. If that's the case. He could only say that Hao Dongjue was in control, so naturally there was no need to rush to attack. Of course, this can only appear in this specific environment, if Hao Dongjue does the same in actual combat, then it should be taken to the ass.

"You didn't arrange reconnaissance planes during the day?" Chang Jie Xin asked a new question.

"Not exactly, it's just that there are relatively few reconnaissance planes sent during the day. If I find your local dialect on the first day of the exercise, how will the local drama be played later? Hao Dongjue took out a cigarette, "Moreover, the performance of the 'reconnaissance eagle' cannot be comprehensively tested during the day, and only at night can it be proved that the ground radar installed on the reconnaissance aircraft has sufficient detection ability, at least it can prevent the pilot from cheating, right?" ”

Regarding Hao Dongjuedi's explanation, Chang Jianxin just smiled and didn't comment more, after all, Hao Dongjue was the winner of the exercise.

"If your ground reconnaissance plane is tracking us at night. And if you didn't continue to arrange reconnaissance planes to monitor the fleet's whereabouts during the day, how did you find the fleet in the afternoon? Tan Renhao raised another question. This was the most incomprehensible place for him, because in the morning, he had the fleet turned, and had a few hours to leave the dangerous sea, if Hao Dongjue had not arranged for a reconnaissance plane in the morning. It is unlikely that the First Task Force will be found.

"Well, it's not that difficult." Dong Jue smiled even more proudly. First of all, I judged that you were going to turn in the morning and prepare to drag on for the last few hours. Secondly, a 'scout eagle' can cover a radius of nearly 10,000 nautical miles, and I took all the reconnaissance planes back in the morning and sent them all out in the afternoon, even if the fleet sailed 100 nautical miles in these few hours. The sea area that needs to be searched is only tens of thousands of square nautical miles, and even if the reconnaissance density is increased, only ten reconnaissance planes will be needed at most, and all the reconnaissance planes I sent out will be! ”

Tan Renhao almost didn't jump and scolded Hao Dongjue. This kid is simply overly proud.

"Don't blame me, if this were a real thing, I wouldn't have done it. After all, this is just a drill to confuse the Germans, isn't it? Hao Dongjue also knew that he was a little excessive.

"Go on, don't retract halfway through the conversation." Chang Jianxin reminded Hao Dongjue next to the off-topic.

"In the afternoon, I spotted Task Force 3 again, and at about three o'clock I spotted Task Force 1, and then I sent out bombers."

"Then why use ultra-low altitude to enter the ground?"

"Mainly to avoid being intercepted." Hao Dongjue shrugged his shoulders. In addition, before the bombers arrived, our ground reconnaissance planes had been hovering about 60 miles away from the First Task Force, and at that time, the air defense fighters of the First Task Force had only a 40 nautical mile patrol radius, so it was impossible to detect our reconnaissance planes."

"Are you using reconnaissance planes to guide bombers to attack the site?" Tan Renhao understands now.

"Exactly, this is another important ability of the Scout Eagle, two radios, which can communicate with the bomber group while maintaining contact with the fleet. And provide target designation for bomber groups . Therefore, our bomber group does not need to fly in the air at all, and can covertly approach the fleet from ultra-low altitudes under the guidance of reconnaissance aircraft, as you have seen, in this case. It is very difficult for the ground air defense warships in the fleet to detect the approaching bomber group in time, and there is not much time to organize air defense interception." Dong Jue only paused. Then he said, "Renhao, you can't blame me. To be honest, I think it's a very effective tactic. If we were to deal with the U.S. fleet, we would not only be able to detect the U.S. fleet faster, but we would also be able to reduce bombing losses. Improve the efficiency of bombing! ”

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, he also happened to think of this. Of course, he didn't blame Hao Dongjue for this.

"And the ability to scout at night is also quite important. In this way, we can not limit ourselves to looking for enemy fleets during the day. It is possible to determine the whereabouts of the enemy fleet at night and then launch an attack at the first time, without giving the enemy fleet any time to prepare. And don't give the enemy fleet any chance to counterattack! Chang Jianxin also quickly thought of a set of Xindi tactics.

"That's exactly what I'm going to mention as a new tactic." Hao Dongjue nodded immediately, "The 'Scout Eagle' night reconnaissance ability is the most valuable. We are very good at spotting enemy fleets at night, so we can't carry out combat operations at night. If there is a proper means of bombing. We can also attack the enemy fleet at night."

"But now we don't have the right means of night bombing."

■Dong Kaku shrugged his shoulders. There's no way around it, but as the old saying goes. If we can determine the whereabouts of the enemy fleet at night, then we will be able to strike at dawn, which will be beyond the enemy's reach."

"How did you come up with these new tactics?" Tan Renhao looked at Hao Dongjue.

"Yes. It was in this exercise that I thought of the ground, and I only had a general idea before, and this exercise proved that the new ground tactics are completely feasible."

"Then, you take the time to write down the specific problems of the new tactic in detail, and then organize the people to discuss it. Try to be as perfect as possible. Rather than a new set of tactics that are only summed up in exercises, you know? ”

"Rest assured. I've arranged for the fleet staff officer to do this."

"Well, we can pretty much not have to talk about it. When you have the results, I'll give me another report." Tan Renhao stood up as he spoke, "Breakfast is over, right?" Then I'll go to the command cabin first, and you guys will come over after eating, maybe Jiang Zhongmin will send a telegram over."

■Dong Jue stuck out his tongue, then picked up a steamed bun and pretended not to have eaten enough. Seeing the appearance of ■ Dongjue, Chang Jianxin also laughed.

"Chang, did you say that Ren Hao was provoked by me?" After Tan Renhao went out, Hao Dongjue asked in a whisper.

"You mean the drill?"

■Dong Jue nodded, he didn't think it was a good thing to beat his brother-in-law in the drill.

"Then you're thinking too much, do you think Ren Hao is a small-bellied chicken intestine person? Moreover, the Second Task Force also belongs to the First Fleet, and this exercise has proved that the ground combat effectiveness of the First Fleet has been enhanced, and we should be happy, and Renhao will be happy."

"But his attitude ......"

"Hey, don't think about it so much." Chang Jianxin also stood up, "Now Ren Hao is worried about the Fifth Task Force moving on the other side, this is the real point. I'll go to the command cabin first, and you can come over after you finish eating, don't delay too much."

■Dong Jue immediately picked up the steamed bun that he didn't finish eating." Wait for me, let's go together, or wait until you're not there. Ren Hao is going to show me the color again."

"You kid, now you're all commanders, and you still look like you don't look like a big man!" Chang Jianxin smiled and shook his head. Come on, just don't mention the drill later, maybe we'll get the news soon, and it's better not to bother Renhao now, otherwise I won't be able to help you when he starts a fire."

■Dong Jue nodded immediately, and then followed Chang Jianxin out of the conference room and went to the command cabin above. This exercise made Dong Jue not calm down for several days, of course, for Tan Renhao, he was definitely not concerned about the result of a tactical exercise.
