The purpose of stripping these warships from the main fleet was not only to increase the mobility of the main fleet, but also to serve as bait, and in history, the practice of increasing the radar reflection area of the battleship by adding various easts and easts, so as to make small warships look like large warships, appeared in World War 2, and the Americans did it during the Normandy landings. In addition, the Huaxia fleet was originally relatively scattered, and even if the sea surface was searched visually during the day, it was impossible to bring the entire fleet into view, and under the influence of various fogs, even if the Luftwaffe reconnaissance planes flew over the fleet, it would be difficult for them to distinguish between an Assault-class aircraft carrier and a 30,000-ton fleet aircraft carrier at high altitudes. Especially when there is no reference and the opponent's fighter jet will come up at any time to kill you, there will be planes that the other side does not own in the battle reports of both sides in history, and there will also be cases of mistaking battleships, so even if the Germans stubbornly choose visual reconnaissance to determine the target, the possibility of being detected is still not very large!

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Germans find out that this is a decoy fleet, what can they do? Don't you put it away? No matter how narrow the Gulf of Aden is, such a fleet can still block the route of German transport ships, and unless the German fleet takes matters into its own hands, this route will still be locked! Only a handful of high-speed transport ships can try their luck and pass through here at night. As long as the Germans make a move, the Huaxia fleet will have a chance, of course, Su Mo is not clear, this time the German fleet itself is not very good, if there is no magic box of the air force, the German Navy itself wants to deal with these escort aircraft carriers, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort!

"Anyway, our plan is to use these ships as a decoy first. Set a trap and increase the mobility and self-sustaining power of your fleet at the same time. If the Germans take the bait, it will be good. If we don't take the bait, we can wait and see what happens, and when the Germans choose to do it, we take advantage of it, even if Raeder continues to spend time with us. Our odds are better too! However, I think that the army and air force will make it impossible for the Germans to sit still in the first place! "Summer finally decided to use this tactic!

Although the plan was finalized, it was not immediately implemented in order to make the plan more complete. The Chinese fleet still has a lot to do, on the one hand, it is necessary to paralyze the Germans with a posture of being unable to do anything and its combat effectiveness is constantly declining, and on the other hand, it has adopted a very risky small-scale fleet replenishment plan, consisting of 4 or 5 aircraft carriers to give the small fleet, using the cover of night to enter the supply area for rapid replenishment, and after dawn, return to the fleet, in this way. Before you know it, the entire Chinese fleet can complete a round of covert replenishment, and in the case of night, even if the German reconnaissance aircraft spotted the fleet. Can he be sure if this is a fleet or a detachment of high-speed supply ships?

"The Huaxia Navy seems to be a little overwhelmed lately?" Looking at the aggregated data in front of him, as well as the continuous descending red line on the matching icon, a smile finally appeared on Raeder's gloomy face. It seems that the Huaxia fleet finally can't hold on, and Raeder didn't just rely on the intelligence on the surface of the battlefield to come to this conclusion. The staff officers of the German Navy began to calculate the replenishment cycle and supply volume of the Huaxia Fleet after the Huaxia Navy broke out of the Strait of Malacca! If it was only a weakening of the offensive on the battlefield, then this could also be a trick of the Chinese fleet. But if the size of the entire supply fleet is shrinking, then nine times out of ten, Huaxia will not be able to hold on! They start to consume less so that they can last longer!

"At the same time, the Huaxia fleet is also shrinking their escort routes, a large number of escort aircraft carriers began to assemble in the direction of the main fleet, they abandoned a lot of routes, only retained the most critical ones, the other party's concentrated forces are very abnormal, it is estimated that they can't sit still, it is very likely to fight with us! The pressure on the north is also increasing, and the Huaxia Air Force has begun to continuously launch long-range bombing, using the wound-for-wound style to consume our strength! "Count Luknall sent another document just sent by the Air Force, and expressed his opinion.

"Huaxia still doesn't give up, even if he wants to evacuate, he still plans to fight with us!" Raeder has now determined his judgment, the decisive battle between the two sides is about to break out, and Huaxia has only one purpose for shrinking the escort force, that is, to concentrate on making the combat effectiveness reach the peak and have a decisive battle with the German Navy and Air Force! This practice of sacrificing sustained combat capability in exchange for combat effectiveness can only be a preparation before a decisive battle, and when the escort aircraft carrier leaves, it will be troublesome to rebuild the escort system! And in order to reduce the losses of transport ships, Huaxia is likely to reduce the size of the transport fleet. There is no way back for Huaxia, and unless the fleet withdraws, this battle is inevitable!

"Although it is a little different from what was expected, the overall situation is still not bad, the opponent's fleet is concentrated in the Gulf of Aden, and it is a pity that we did not preset the battlefield in the Gulf of Oman to fight the opponent, but with the transfer of the main force of the Air Force, we can already launch an attack on the Chinese fleet in the Gulf of Aden, the opponent is in the Gulf of Aden, as long as we move fast enough, we can block the opponent, even if the Chinese fleet uses electronic interference, in a narrow range, we can still find them! The Air Force can strike at any time, but what about your Navy? Richthofen asked.

"Well, I'll lead the fleet, but we must make sure that we engage during the day, preferably in the morning, we need a whole day to make a break with the adversary, and if we can, I hope that the Air Force can do a second attack after the first round of attacks." Raeder finally relented, and with his approval, the battle between the two fleets was a foregone conclusion, and the battle entered the countdown phase!

The German fleet moved, although the German fleet was not far from the Gulf of Aden, but also after a long period of sea voyages, the situation of the German fleet was not very good, although there were ports to anchor, but because of the lack of supplies and personnel and the threat of the Chinese Air Force, it did not help the fleet much. And because of the lack of supplies for the transport fleet. (It was impossible for German transports to supply the fleet through the Red Sea or around Africa, and the supplies used by the German fleet were all provided by the Middle East theater.) Although the German Navy did not fight much, its combat effectiveness was still declining. It's just a little bit of a decline.

The Germans finally launched an offensive, while the fleet was ready to be completed. A large number of German transports waiting near the Gulf of Oman were also ready to set sail, and the Germans thought well. As soon as the fleet reopened the passage, immediately withdraw personnel and supplies to Europe. If they're lucky and fast enough, they'll be able to make another trip before Basra falls completely!

The movements of the German fleet also failed to pass the eyes of the Chinese people, and the warning net composed of a large number of Chinese submarines was placed three times around the periphery of the Gulf of Aden! Because of the lack of sufficient anti-submarine aircraft and destroyer fleets, the German attack effect on the Huaxia anti-submarine network is relatively bad, not to mention that the most important purpose of the Huaxia submarines equipped with mast radar is not to destroy the German fleet, but to keep an eye on their movements, when the German fleet began to act, Su Mo quickly received the latter's intelligence!

Unlike the Chinese, the German fleet did not have the possibility of dividing its forces. In Su Mo's opinion, the Luftwaffe Navy and Air Force, which went all out, could only draw with the Huaxia Fleet at most, if he dared to disperse, the Huaxia Fleet would teach the Germans to be a new man in minutes! So they will inevitably go to the Gulf of Aden, and now the question is, when will the Germans get to the Gulf of Aden, and before that, the Chinese fleet can withdraw from the Gulf of Aden without knowing it! Judging from the current situation, one night does not seem to be enough!

What's the name of a saying? It is up to man to plan things, and things are to be done in heaven. When the Allies launched the Normandy landing, God helped the Americans, when Rommel received a forecast from the meteorological department that the weather in the English Channel had been bad in the recent period and that the Allies could not land. resolutely went home to celebrate his wife's birthday, and the Allies took advantage of the good weather for 3 days to launch the world-shocking Normandy landing operation! On the one hand, there is the US-British-French coalition that has been preparing for a long time. On the other side, even the commander could not be found, and the outcome of such a battle could be figured out on the knees. The German Army fought tenaciously at Caen, but its tactical excellence did not make up for its strategic mistakes. Eventually, the Atlantic defense line was breached. The opening of the second battlefield hastened the demise of the Third Reich!

This time, it seems, God still doesn't like the Germans, and when the Germans finally decide to go big, the weather around the Gulf of Aden changes. The pouring rain has caused the attendance rate of land-based and sea-based aircraft to plummet, and the detection effect is even worse! However, according to the analysis of the meteorological department, this storm will not last too long, and it will end after 2 days, and this time, plus the time at night, seems to be enough for the main force of the Chinese fleet to slip out of the Gulf of Aden!

Su Mo still made considerable preparations for this decisive battle, they analyzed the tactics that the German Navy might adopt one by one, and focused on the situation of the Battle of the Azores, the Chinese naval generals agreed that in the case of a serious shortage of aircraft carriers, the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force will not have much attack power, in order to protect themselves, they will definitely reduce the number of attack aircraft, especially twin-engine attack aircraft, and then hand over the attack mission to the magic box unit of the Air Force, The main task of the German fleet has changed from the initiator of the attack to the coverer, and the fleet has become a target, a role that attracts the attack power of the Chinese fleet, thereby providing opportunities for land-based aviation, which has to be said to be the sadness of the German Navy!

"We have to make the deception of the decoy fleet stronger, we can even give a small number of jet fighters to the decoy fleet! As soon as our jet fighters appear in the skies over the fleet, the opposing side will definitely attack the fleet at all costs! And as long as the Luftwaffe's Magic Box fleet does not point the spearhead of the attack at us at the first time, then we are equal to half of the victory! We can even make the decoy fleet take the initiative to attract the attention of the opponent! The number of planes dispatched is not large, as long as Raeder sees it, he will not suspect it! Because in the eyes of the Germans, only a supercarrier could take off jets. "In the final stage before the start of the war, Su Mo put another heavy weight on the decoy fleet!

In the end, a full 4 squadrons, a total of 70 jet fighters, were assigned to the decoy fleet, these planes can only glide and take off at the back of the deck, or take off by catapults, because the escort aircraft carrier does not have an oblique deck, so the danger of landing is very great, but considering that in such a tragic air battle, the decoy fleet, which is already inferior in strength, will be attacked by several times the opponent, so the survival rate of the aircraft will not be very high, so this problem is weakened? In addition to making the Germans more convinced that they are facing the main fleet of Huaxia, this elite fighter force will also become the last barrier for the decoy fleet, although it is a decoy, but Su Mo did his best to keep this fleet!

Under the cover of bad weather, the main fleet of the Chinese fleet began to leave the Gulf of Aden at high speed, and the average speed of 25 knots made the fuel consumption of the small warships of the Chinese fleet run out quickly. Even because of the excessive wind and waves, the bow of some destroyers was injured by the wind and waves. However, all this cannot stop the strategic movement of the Huaxia fleet! Just as the Germans entered the western side of the Gulf of Aden, just as the bad weather was gradually dissipating, the Chinese fleet successfully reached about 600 kilometers west of the German fleet!

"Alright, now you can do it with all your might. From now on, I don't want a German reconnaissance plane to send our intelligence back! "After being hidden for so long, the most elite fighter unit in the Huaxia Navy is finally about to appear! They will use their unparalleled speed and powerful firepower to show the world who is the overlord of the sea! With a maximum flight speed of up to 950 kilometers per hour, the Seahawk jet fighter can hunt all targets within visual range!

There were even cases of Sea Hawk fighters climbing shallow to chase down the Chachahawk 3 fighter on the exercise ground! You must know that the Tea Falcon III fighter is equivalent to the Cannon 51H fighter in history, and during the exercise, this Tea Falcon fighter was not satisfied with internal fuel, and the afterburner reached the highest speed, but still could not get rid of the Sea Hawk fighter! Moreover, some of the Seahawk fighters in Shanghai are equipped with new radars, which have just been introduced with a new identification code for friend or foe. Even at night, there is a high recognition rate in the face of night combat aircraft, of course, if you look at it overall, there is still a certain chance that it will be discovered by the Germans, but from a subjective point of view, Huaxia has done its best, if it is not good, then it is not a problem.
