Chapter 150: Kite Flying Tactics (I)
"My Führer, this result is simply unbelievable, it is really too surprising."
Some executives of the command department looked at the huge sand table, eighteen of the model ships of the Lüte detachment were planted with white flags, and even the five light cruisers with good combat power in the Rutte detachment were all sunk.
At this time, Marshal Keitel was crying like a dead father, he and General Catherine had already made a bet, and he himself was a staunch giant ship artilleryist, and this result simply made Marshal Keitel's face "crackle"! But Marshal Keitel was very tough:
"My Führer, this is a pure accident, it was all Ruet's tactical mistakes, this doesn't mean anything, Marshal Raeder still has more than eighty warships, among which there are heavy battleships like battleships, and the anti-aircraft firepower above him is not weak, not to mention that Raeder and more than thirty submarines commanded by Dönitz! It's too early to say that you won't lose! I don't think it's certain who will kill the deer! ”
"Alright! Then stay tuned for battlefield exercises! ”
At this time, Marshal Raeder also received a telegram from the general command of the exercise, saying that his Rutte detachment was completely annihilated, and the remaining two destroyers were also turning around and fleeing at full speed, Raeder who received the news was really angry and vomited blood, and he sent out twenty warships, which were actually eaten by Li Mo in one air raid, when did the Luftwaffe become so powerful, Raeder couldn't believe it, but it was true. Raeder really couldn't figure out why JU87 was so powerful, mainly because he didn't know that the JU87 dive bomber was a natural nemesis for targets like ships, and the almost vertical dive angle made the anti-aircraft fire of the bombed ship basically invalid. Only friendly neighboring ships of the bombed ship could provide it with anti-aircraft fire, if not in dense anti-aircraft formations. Or after a lot of mutual fire support training, the ship's dive bombardment of the JU87 is an insoluble curse.
At this time, Li Mo was again in the bridge war room of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier and had a meeting with several major commanders. Now Li Mo was relaxed, and said with a smile:
"Brothers, you see, how brilliant this result is, the black claws that Marshal Raeder stretched out were chopped off by us, now let's give Marshal Raeder's main fleet a kite flying tactic."
"Kite flying tactics? Commander-in-chief, what is a kite flying tactic! Is there still this tactic in naval warfare? ”
The commanders below didn't understand what kite-flying tactics were, so Li Mo had to patiently explain to them:
"Brother, let me first tell you about the previous life of kite flying tactics, which is the Mangu tactics of Mongolian iron cavalry. My kite-flying tactic is a naval battle.
To put it simply, the Mangu method of warfare is that the mounted archer shoots arrows at the pursuing enemy while fleeing. The essence of this tactic is to attack the enemy from a distance, to attack the enemy continuously, and not to give the enemy a chance to fight back. No matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor may be under such an attack, it is only a matter of time before it completely collapses. At that time, most European knights were equipped with heavy armor, and although they were very powerful in close combat, their mobility was not comparable to that of the Mongol cavalry. If you run into a Mongolian horse archer, not only will you not be able to catch up. I can't even escape, I can only be a target. Moreover, the Mongol cavalry did not rely entirely on strong attacks like the European knights, and they only used their bows and arrows to kill and wound most of the enemy before engaging the enemy in close combat. In April 1241, the Mongol cavalry relied on this method of warfare to defeat the 100,000-strong Hungarian army, the most elite in Europe (led by King Béla IV of Hungary), on the banks of the Danube. More than 70,000 enemies were killed, and a song "Red Danube" was played with bows and arrows, almost completely eliminating the resistance in Europe.
Brothers. Do you understand? ”
"Bang bang...... Commander-in-chief, this is a good method! In this way, Marshal Raeder's main fleet will be hung and fought. ”
"And what about Marshal Raeder fleeing with his army?"
The destroyer commander, Hahn, asked the question suddenly. Li Mo had no choice but to continue to explain:
"Our Marshal Raeder led the fleet to escape, and we stuck to it like kraft candy. It is enough to keep a distance of more than two hundred nautical miles from Marshal Raeder's main fleet at all times, so that our carrier-based aircraft can also hang him to fight...... Hey. ”
As soon as the tactics were determined, Li Mo immediately ordered the aircraft carrier formation to change course and search and advance to the defense line from the Raeder fleet, and at the same time, Li Mo asked the supply ship to lift the planes that were sentenced to withdraw from the exercise, and then hoisted new planes, at this time, Li Mo only lost eight JU87s, and this loss will not have the slightest impact on the attack power of the aircraft carrier formation, you must know that Li Mo's spare planes can have forty-eight planes.
Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation is not fast, only about fifteen knots, because the speed of the U2 submarine is only a dozen knots, and the entire aircraft carrier formation cannot be fast, except for hoisting the submarine behind the destroyer and dragging it away, but Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation must use submarines to find those submarines that are diving underwater, so there is no need to consider this method for the time being. Using submarines for underwater surveillance is much more effective than surface ships. In addition, the German UIII submarine is already in trial production, this kind of submarine has a larger displacement at full load, more advanced than the U2 that Limer is currently using, and his record is also the most brilliant.
On the first day of searching, Li Mo's carrier group did not gain anything, and on the second day, a submarine thirty nautical miles away from the carrier group sent an urgent telegram, which reported that they had heard a large amount of noise, about five nautical miles away from them, and finally asked for instructions on what to do. Of course, Li Mo knew that this submarine was asking whether he should evacuate immediately or go up to see what was going on, Li Mo was about six submarines, where did he dare to use one submarine to do experiments, Li Mo pondered for a moment, and decided to call the submarine directly by radio, and told the coordinates of the submarine, Li Mo's order was very simple, that is, to let the submarine immediately return to the vicinity of the aircraft carrier. After the call, Li Mo immediately ordered the aircraft carrier formation to immediately adjust its course and escape.
Li Mo used the radio to call directly, which is equivalent to telling Dönitz clearly the coordinates of his aircraft carrier formation, so will Li Mo's father-in-law Dönitz show mercy? It is absolutely impossible, this is an exercise, and the views of both sides are related to the future survival of the German Navy, and Dönitz will definitely go all out.
Sure enough, Dönitz, who led more than 30 submarines, discovered Li Mo's radio call signal, not to mention the accurate coordinates, Dönitz instantaneously The general position of Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation, even if it is a trap, Dönitz must catch up at this time, so Dönitz immediately ordered all submarines to fan up.
Li Mo is fighting wits and courage with his father-in-law, Li Mo is deliberately exposing his position, and Dönitz also knows his son-in-law's cleverness, he understands that his son-in-law is trying to lure him up to attack the aircraft carrier formation, will Dönitz be the same as Rutte? Of course not, Dönitz gave his submarine a dead order, it would be enough to hang Limer's aircraft carrier formation from a distance, and if necessary, launch torpedoes from a distance or place mines in front of the aircraft carrier.
Will the submarine be able to catch up with Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation? Even if he catches up, will Li Mo have no means of anti-submarine warfare? ……
[Thank you brothers for the monthly pass, thank you for the falling leaves, I am really moved, your monthly pass is the recognition of this book, thank you.
On the issue of weapons and equipment, say a few words, this book is a YY novel, and some weapons and equipment will be appropriately advanced or strengthened, for example, there are seven or eight models of the No. 4 tank in history, and the protagonist as a traverser, of course, will not be in the initial production of the model, but the No. 4 J tank directly, and the artillery has also increased to 75MM/70L, if this is not possible, then the protagonist is also looking for death! Right!! This book will not open black technology, but just advance the German weapons of the late World War II a little, and some of the shortcomings of those weapons in the pocket, the most significant is the Leopard tank. Nazi doomsday tech wind cow, please stay tuned, it will definitely make you cool. (To be continued......)
