If there is still an American fleet around at this time, after Redel releases the first wave of aircraft and prepares for the second wave of aircraft, the fleet's air defense capabilities will be very limited during this period! The Americans can kill themselves in one wave.

! Even though it’s an armored aircraft carrier, if the opponent hits the ground in the first wave, you’ll be doomed as well! After all, pretending

Armor protection is only a supplement to the aircraft carrier's defense. If the aircraft cannot block it, the meaning of the armored deck is really limited! In just 2 hours, Redel's fleet and Krank's fleet will attack each other.

The sky was ashes! Moreover, the explosive growth of American radio communications at this time also made Redel deeply worried.

In response to this situation, Redel also made an assumption. If the opponent does not have other fleets, then the best option for the American fleet is to stay hidden and launch a surprise attack after discovering the German fleet. After all, the power gap between the two fleets is not big.

There is a huge gap between the first move and the normal attack. As for reminding the ts18 transport fleet, this is not too much.

Realistically, after all, the transport fleet itself has a certain degree of defense. With the strength of the Krank fleet, at least the first wave of attacks will not achieve much results. If two waves of attacks are organized, then the US fleet will be completely left to chance.

Seize the opponent. Since this American fleet is in frequent contact with the outside world, there is only one possibility, and that is to summon other friendly forces to gather at this location!

Okay, let's make another assumption. If there are no other American fleets around, then what is the worst thing that can happen? It is just that the Krank fleet is severely damaged, and then the Redel fleet, which is sure that the surrounding area is safe, can easily kill the already existing fleets.

The American hunting fleet was consumed, and then he chased the ts18 transport fleet and beat him hard! Redel thought about it, although deep down he felt that this was not good for him.

It's a bit unfair to your comrades. But exchanging a few aviation cruisers for the stability of your own fleet is not bad from a purely tactical point of view. If there are other fleets around the opponent, you will at least have a chance to escape and ascend to heaven. You have to pay for a war.

At some cost, exchanging smaller losses for safety is also an option. This is the purpose of exploratory attacks in land battles, and the navy can naturally adopt similar tactics!

Just when Redel made up his mind to give up rescuing the Krank fleet for the time being, and even prayed to God in his heart for his general, Redel never expected that what would happen next would be so tortuous. Since the end of the Falkland Islands naval battle,

Redel will no longer worry about Krank's safety. This guy is too cautious! He is so good at running away! When he sees something is wrong, he can run away faster than anyone else!

The thing is, if Redel is left aside, then the US military has the upper hand in terms of layout, reconnaissance and strength! As long as Levis waits until dawn, Levis finds the Krank fleet, and then waits for Krank to send the first wave

After the planes are released, the overall situation has been decided. By then, even Miller and the Manifestation will not be able to save the Germans! The first wave of planes has gone out, and the second wave of planes is being prepared. What can you do with 4 aviation cruisers to resist 4 ships?

light aircraft carrier

Attack? The aviation capability of the aviation cruiser is difficult to launch a wave of attacks alone. How many direct guard aircraft can be left over the fleet? Even if there is a squadron, what is the use against 4 Independence-class light aircraft carriers? The Germans are already at a

The edge of the trap. Only one step away from being doomed! And Levis thought very well. Even if the Germans got lucky and couldn't kill him in one wave, Krank could still use his second wave of attacks and Fletcher's hand.

Escape? You're kidding!

Krank really didn't know that he was being plotted by the Americans. (Well, he didn't know that he was being plotted by Redel either.) At least before dawn, but when the four aviation cruisers used the first wave of attacks

After all the planes were lifted onto the deck, one thought

The situation outside shocked Krank! An American TBF torpedo plane flying from the TS18 transport fleet appeared over Krank's fleet! Krank's mood at this time was the same as that of the Battle of Midway in history.

Nagumo's feeling when he discovered that the American plane appeared above his head

The feeling was exactly the same. However, the reaction that followed was very different. Nan Yun decisively wavered between torpedoes and bombs. He performed a repetitive operation of replacing bombs with torpedoes and torpedoes with bombs. This exercised the ground crew and wasted valuable time. Nan Yun

The starting point of cloud doing this

Still thinking about whether to deal with the Midway land-based aviation force first or the US aircraft carrier fleet first. Generally speaking, he still made plans to attack, but Krank was different. When he found that the US aircraft was above his head, his

The first reaction is to retreat!

As expected, Krank came from a fleet attack background. Leading a fleet to wander the vast sea and sink the opponent's warships is one aspect, but the role of protecting himself and containing the local navy is sometimes even greater than the former! What's more,

Krank's most important task now

Isn't it just to cooperate with Redel to encircle and annihilate the American fleet? Well, although he doesn't know where Redel's fleet is now. So Krank quickly figured out the situation he is facing now. If he is lucky, then this plane

Should be from the ts18 transport fleet, obviously, this

A plane has discovered itself and should have notified the fleet. In this case, the surprise attack will become a storm attack. Considering the losses you may bear and the survival rate of your life after the loss, the cost seems to be higher.

!Far more than the number of sinkers

The effect of a transport ship! And if this plane does not come from the ts18 transport fleet, then the situation will be even more critical! This means that the Americans have other forces in this sea area! In 2 vs 1, the Klan will

It’s still a shame! Hurry up and shout is the right way!

As a result, the five German cruisers formed a huge U-shape on the sea and retreated at full speed in the opposite direction. During the retreat, the JU90 bombers at the back were relocated back to the hangar and replaced by BF109 fighter jets.

The entire fleet is

It took more than half an hour to complete the transition from attack to defense. At this time, the leopard of the Krank fleet retracted its outstretched claws and huddled up like a hedgehog! And the Americans did not

To think that Krank would be so decisive! So timid?!

Naturally, the German actions could not avoid the American reconnaissance planes that had been hovering above. A few minutes later, the news of the reverse evacuation of the German fleet reached the ts18 transport fleet. And within a quarter of an hour, the news also reached Levy

In the hands of Si! After Levis got this information, his first reaction was to alert the snake! At this time, Levis was extremely depressed. He told the ts18 fleet to let them make plans in advance.

But you didn't let them alert you. You sent the plane over their heads. Did they not know that they were exposed? What was once easy is now in trouble. The distance between the Levis fleet and the Krank fleet is widening.

On the edge of their own attack, they had to get closer if they wanted to kill them, and then the two sides decisively entered into a chase. Is a light aircraft carrier faster than an aviation cruiser? It seems about the same!

The commander of the ts18 escort fleet also has troubles that he cannot express. If the Levis and Krank fleets can be considered to be opponents of the same level, then the three escort carriers and the four aviation cruisers in his hands are not at the same level at all.

, at least wild dogs and cheetahs

The gap! Not to mention the performance gap of battleships, the quantity and quality of aircraft are also disadvantages. As for the quality of pilots, let alone the quality of pilots. I have always dealt with submarines without air defense capabilities. Are you looking for death in an air battle with regular naval aviation forces?

Isn't it too much? If the other party is really full

If you attack with all your strength, you might have to confess here. Although you are the bait, you can't be beaten passively, right? As the weak party, if you don't want to be eaten by the opponent in a daze, you must at least know where the opponent is and when to launch the engine.

Attack, don't come

In the end, the bricks were raised to the top of the head, but he still didn't know. Is he still dead? So the Americans used the intelligence provided by Levis to eliminate the reconnaissance planes and determine the opponent's location. It was precisely because of this action that they scared Krank away.

!Let the whole plan except for flaws at the last moment!

"God, what happened to the old man today?" Levis cursed the TS18 transport fleet and Krank while planning the next battle plan. When the other party is determined to run away, I am afraid that it is a little bit hard to deal with him alone.

Difficult. Calculating the combined speed of both sides, the distance that can be shortened in one hour will be very short. It is only 5 nautical miles at most, and it may be longer at least. After all, you never know when the Germans will change the route! Before the Germans reduce the speed

before, since

I really can’t do anything to the opponent! But fortunately, it seems that the course of Fletcher’s fleet is just to intercept the Germans! If I tell Fletcher, can I outflank the opponent? To be honest, with the opponent

After weeks of playing hide-and-seek at sea, Levis's patience was really stretched to the limit. Especially when victory was in sight, his desire to quickly deal with his opponent was surprisingly strong! So, he decisively sent a message to the Fletcher fleet.

Request! Ask the latter to do it himself!

If there is anyone who was the most cautious naval general in World War II in history, then Fletcher must be one of them. After receiving Levis's telegram, Fletcher did not act immediately, but was thinking about the battle.

The game behind the scenes. He didn’t know that Redel had already attacked

However, being cautious by nature, he still considered what he would do if the Germans repeated the tactics of the last naval battle. Last time, the Germans hid a fleet under the eyes of the Americans and defeated the U.S. Navy at a critical moment.

, then this time, Germany

Will people repeat their old tricks? Please report in the newspaper that the German fleet has returned to the safe zone in the Eastern Mediterranean, but God knows, will an aircraft carrier slip out? Regular fleet aircraft carriers are not comparable to those non-professional warships. Regular fleet aircraft carriers are not comparable to those of non-professional warships.

The most fleet aircraft carrier wave

It can take off about 45 carrier-based aircraft at most, of which the number of attack aircraft can reach 30! As long as you are not prepared, it is not impossible to sink an aircraft carrier in one attack! So before the final trump card is revealed,

Lecce does not intend to take action directly!

Anyway, the target is already a turtle in the urn. How long can the Germans maintain their high speed? Do they still want to obtain supplies? Are they dreaming? The Americans have only 2 regular aircraft carriers, 5 light aircraft carriers, escort aircraft carriers, submarines and

Even Fletcher doesn't know how many camouflaged reconnaissance ships there are. Especially on the preset battlefield, as long as Fletcher is willing, he can find out the details of any civilian ship! The Germans have no way of finding out.

Obtaining supplies, after all, supplies don't just happen by chance. It takes a while to refuel. And the so-called disguised supplies are more about waiting in the predetermined sea area instead of changing positions at any time. The Germans must consider themselves when escaping.

Regarding the relationship between fuel and voyage, unlike Levis, Fletcher became calmer towards the end. He believed that the Germans were going to be finished anyway, so what difference did it make if it was earlier or later?

Fletcher's decision is simple. Levis must resolve this matter himself. Unless Levis is defeated or a new hostile fleet appears, otherwise, Fletcher's fleet will never take action! "The battle will probably be delayed until

Tomorrow!" Levis wrote in the telegram. "We have plenty of time to wait!" Fletcher replied unmoved!

As a result, a very strange phenomenon appeared on the battlefield. The Krank fleet was running, the Levi's fleet was chasing, and the Fletcher fleet was watching with cold eyes, and from time to time its tentacles in the depths were detecting the surrounding movements. So now Thunder

What is Del doing? In fact, what Raeder is doing at this time is similar to

Same as Fletcher! He is also using his own method to carefully search the surrounding waters, but he is doing it more covertly! On the back deck of the flagship Moltke aircraft carrier, a modified bf110ts electronic reconnaissance aircraft is ready to go.

This aircraft does not carry any sea attack weapons.

This aircraft is the treasure of the entire fleet. There is a huge arc antenna under its belly, and there is also a Yagi antenna on the nose. This aircraft is equipped with a sea search radar and a radio positioning device. If you want to use visual reconnaissance

method to discover the opponent. While discovering the opponent, oneself actually also

It has been exposed that only the use of electronic equipment can be safer, especially the use of passive electronic equipment! After nearly 200 meters of taxiing, the bf110ts electronic reconnaissance aircraft took off, patrolling around the fleet, searching the nearby 400 kilometers

Suspicious target in the sea!

"Two days at most. If no suspicious targets are found within two days, we will kill those light aircraft carriers!" Redel looked at the chart and then looked up at the calendar and made up his mind. From the perspective of patience, it seems that Redel

Not as good as Fletcher, but that's not actually the case, because Redel knows whose home field this is, and no matter how well he hides it, he will still be exposed if he stays there for a long time!

Last Saturday's update was late. It's not because I didn't work hard! There was a problem with the backend, so I uploaded the side information in advance. I won't thank you for your support for the two updates on the weekend. I'll make it up later. I'm sorry.
