Chapter 1938 Storm VS Lightning 1
From the time node, Ruprecht chose a very good time. When he determined through various channels that the British Air Force would make his last attempt, Ruprecht did not choose to consume the British air force through inside combat, and then use air strikes to kill the opponent, and then launch a strategic air strike on the transportation line and ground facilities. Instead, he chose to almost launch an attack plan with the British! Two to three days after the British launched a large-scale air strike on the German transportation line, the German Air Force launched an attack on the British Air Force!&1t;/p>
When someone asked why he didn't wait until he could take a round of British Air Force to attack, the prince replied: "The British Air Force's fighter unit has suffered a lot. Now, the British Air Force we are facing is not the same unit as before. Now this air force is more suitable, known as the 6th Army and the United Navy."&1t;/p>
"In fact, the previous 6th Army aviation team has gradually been wiped out with the fierce battle. The British fighter troops suffered the greatest losses and were the most difficult to supplement. The threat is no longer great. Although the air force recruited by the Navy has indeed expanded the number of British aircraft, unfortunately, most of the air force coming to the Navy is responsible for aviation reconnaissance, bombing and patrol missions. There are very few real fighter troops. So from the air, even if we do not consume the British this time, the pressure on the fighter troops we face will not be too high."&1t;/p>
"In terms of actual layout, due to the current level of aviation technology, the aircraft's deep attack capabilities are very limited, so the air force configurations of both sides can be divided into wartime state and truce state. In peacetime and inactive attacks, in frontline, in addition to leaving some fighter troops, the bomber troops are all deployed in the rear to defend against the opponent's strike through distance. Only when the attack starts, the bomber troops will enter the frontline airport in large numbers! This is the time for the British to attack, and it is also the most vulnerable time. At this time, the British sword can indeed stab our blood vessels. Our heavy sword can also easily cut the opponent's throat!"&1t;/p>
The British lightning offensive was carried out according to the plan. In this battle, Marshal Trenchard concentrated 14O various aircraft to launch an attack, including about 3O fighters, and the number of single fighters/light bombers like DH9 is about 27O, while most of the remaining ones are bombers like FB27 and O-4O. The proportion of bombers of the British has increased slightly! There is no way, who made most of the navy be bombers...&1t;/p>
However, this time, the former air overlord, the number of v15oo is pitifully small. It is estimated that there are only 8o aircraft. The 6th Army's aviation team is not much left. The navy is holding the most important long-range aviation power in their hands as if it is protecting their lives! Churchill even threatened that unless the cabinet changes the commander from him to the fleet, he will never want to take away these precious v15oo from the navy!&1t;/p>
This time, the British were able to do their best, with lightning but no lightning lethality! When Trenchard was training the air team below, he emphasized the need to ensure the safety of pilots and aircraft. Not only did he not go back to attack the areas where the Germans were deployed in key defense, but the bomber troops were also required to carry less bombs and decorate bulletproof steel plates. A huge arc also limited the combat range of the British air team. In short, this operation can be regarded as a limited shallow depth short assault war.&1t;/p>
"Thunder loudly, raindrops are small." This is General Harrel's comment on the British air strike after the British Air Force launched an air strike. "I can't believe that some squadrons of the once brave British bomber units did not carry bombs in this air strike but only used machine guns to strafuse the road! Their predecessors should be ashamed of the performance of these incompetent guys!"&1t;/p>
"Well, since that's the case, we don't have to wait for the cunning foxes who are always unwilling to take a trap, just launch an attack on their nests. Note that this time, don't even let the British field airport go. Our goal is to kill their planes and pilots instead of airport buildings and runways!" Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>
April 5, 1914. When the sun rose again, hundreds of various aircraft were ready to go behind the Allies' front line. After the pilots had breakfast, they boarded their respective aircraft. After blessing each other for dinner, with the roar of motivation, one by one, the planes entered the flight track in turn to take off.&1t;/p>
The British Airways team is indeed worthy of being the most powerful enemy of the German Airways team. Even in the weak situation, their tactical arrangements and arrangements are still very well organized. When attacking the Germans, the British themselves were considering what to do if the Germans were preparing to smash the bird's nest and dig the bird's eggs that day.&1t;/p>
The British responded to two main ways. The first is to disperse the aircraft as much as possible. Generally speaking, fighter jets are deployed in temporary and field airports, which are generally next to woods or hilly areas, and are difficult to be seen after being covered with camouflage. The British even deployed a fighter squadron in two field airports, and even if they were attacked, they would not suffer too much loss.&1t;/p>
What should I do for bomber troops that cannot be deployed separately? (Bombers require a long runway and complete ground facilities. Therefore, they must rely on better infrastructure and maintenance, and bombers must attack in groups to be safe. At this time, the radio level of the aircraft is not very reliable, so bombers are generally deployed in centralized areas.)&1t;/p>
Deploying as many anti-aircraft guns as possible is a way, and the British will also deploy inflatable models at some airports as fake targets to confuse their opponents. If you do not conduct detailed investigations directly, then at least half of the bombs will be thrown at those inflatable models!&1t;/p>
However, in the face of the cunning foxes, the Germans responded in this way! The Germans formed a special air combat group in a targeted manner, consisting of fighter jets, long-range reconnaissance aircraft and bombers. At the same time, they were guided and assisted by ground base stations located on the front line, and launched air strikes on the scattered British aviation forces, ground transportation lines, and even British fleets in the English Channel!&1t;/p>
Even though the British were dispersed and Marshal Trenchard wanted to preserve his power, in this era, bombers still had to be used in a concentrated manner. After all, the normal bomb load of a bomber like FB27 is only 1 ton. When it comes to the level of a fighter bomber in 2 battles... There are cowards who fired machine guns, but most British bombers still have to attack with bombs. Otherwise, they will not be able to output at all.&1t;/p>
