The Third Reich - Chapter 1730
There have always been contradictions among the various services of the United States.
At first it was the navy and the army, and then the navy, land and air forces. The usual contradictions fell into contradictions. It is absolutely intolerable to hold back at this time.
These are all for the interests of the United States. In the past, nothing was done behind the back. But this time, it is about the survival of the United States. If the Navy wants to come and make such a show, Arnold will absolutely not tolerate it.
Admiral King’s face was deeply tired. He looked at Arnold and said: “We know that the Germans regard Greenland as their next target. We have also done a lot of preparations. Now the battle has begun. If the Germans took Greenland without any effort, what does this mean?”
Hearing this, Arnold was taken aback. Indeed, he didn’t seem to think so far.
“The Germans will definitely know that we are deliberately releasing the water, so how can the Germans not be more vigilant? In which war has the Germans suffered in these years? The Cyric is even more cunning than the fox.” Will say: “Even if we fail in the end, we must fail after heroic resistance. We must also let the Germans know our determination to guard Greenland. For this, our navy must make great sacrifices. , We are all mentally prepared, for the sake of the United States, our navy voluntarily sacrificed.”
When he heard this, Arnold knew that he could no longer complain.
Yes, there are some omissions in my tactics. The most powerful in the United States is the aviation force. If the German navy comes forward, but the aviation force does not resist desperately, it is not right. It will definitely be seen through by the Germans. When they were mentally prepared, the plan might not succeed!
Just when he wanted to nod his head, he saw the flickering expression of Nimitz sitting at the back. In an instant, his heart was like a mirror, and Admiral Jin spit out bitterness here, but it was only one aspect of it!
Of course there is a stubborn resistance that makes the Germans think that this is the reason for their true combat effectiveness. At the same time, there is another intention. What if the navy does it by itself? Needless to say, even if only two aircraft carriers of the German Navy were destroyed, the German Navy would have to retreat.
Cunning guy!
Although Arnold knew clearly in his heart, he couldn’t say anything at this time and could only wait for Roosevelt quietly.
This is a nationwide war. Once it fails, the United States will face a more terrifying situation. Roosevelt is under heavy pressure.
When the Navy put forward their plan to attack with all strength, Roosevelt also approved it. This time, it was a full-scale battle, and the whole world must see the combat power of the United States!
In this world, Germany will not always be arrogant as long as the United States is there!
The U.S. Navy dispatched ten carrier-based aircraft wings with a total of nearly 800 aircraft.
It is impossible for all of these aircraft to be dispatched together. The one that flew in the front was a group of old F2A. Yes, it was only in 37 years that the U.S. Navy was complacently considered the most advanced carrier-based Buffalo aircraft. It is now completely out of date. In the Pacific, it is impossible to win air dominance with the zero fighters of the island nations, let alone fight with German fighters.
F2A is just a decoy. It attracts German fighter jets to intercept it. In this way, they can consume their air defense force and provide opportunities for attacking troops behind.
When it comes to operating aircraft carriers, the United States absolutely has a say. Once an aircraft carrier is dispatched, it loses most of its combat effectiveness after releasing the fleet, attracting their fighters to dispatch, and then, from other directions, launching the most deadly towards the German navy s attack!
The battleship Hindenburg.
This is the command ship of the entire formation. Although the aircraft carrier has now become the main naval weapon, any naval commander still likes to sit on a tall and mighty battleship. This is a traditional inertial thinking.
Raidel is studying it carefully.
“The Americans couldn’t hold back their breath and dispatched their fighters in a vain attempt to attack our formation. Fortunately, we have sea eyes and spotted them in advance. Now, all of our carrier-based aircraft are taking off and all American fighters are taken off. Kill it!” Raidel’s fist was clenched tightly. This battle is destined to go down in history.
“Report.” At this moment, an adjutant said: “Lieutenant General Marshal suggested that the enemy’s situation is unknown. We should not dispatch too many carrier-based aircraft. At most two aircraft carrier-based aircraft will be released, leaving more. Respond to emergencies.”
If Rydell hadn’t come personally happily, the battle was commanded by Lieutenant General Marshal.
Now, Raidel is commanding the entire fleet on the battleship, and Lieutenant General Marshal is commanding the aircraft carrier formation on the Hitler aircraft carrier behind.
When Rydell’s order was issued, Lieutenant General Marshal immediately gave back his opinion~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the fleet of the US Navy has been discovered earlier, and the scale is more than 100, but this is not It must be the full strength of the United States. What if all the carrier-based aircraft are released in advance at this time, and when it is recovered, a large number of American aircraft will appear again?
The muscles on Rydell’s excited face suddenly shook. It was quite speechless to be suggested by the subordinates at this time, but after a little embarrassment, he also realized the mistake of his command.
“Order Lieutenant General Marshal to command this interception of American fighter planes with full authority.” Ryder quickly made a decision.
When it comes to commanding naval aviation, he is indeed not as professional as Lieutenant General Marshal. In this case, if his command is wrong, it may bring terrible consequences that the Empire cannot afford.
Raidel can command the entire fleet, but the command of specific aircraft carrier aircraft has delegated power to Mashaer.
On the Hitler aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Marshal received the order from the flagship and was quite happy. He saluted the Hindenburg direction, Commander, it’s up to us!
“Order Zeppelin and Munich to take off 40 FW190 fighters and go to intercept. Other fighters are ready at any time.”
Lieutenant General Marshal was more cautious, and only 80 of the two aircraft carriers took off.
Generally speaking, in intercept operations, you should take off more fighters. Only if the number exceeds the opponent, it is easy to stop all of the opponents. As long as one of them slips through the net, it will fly over the fleet. Enough for the German Navy to drink a pot.
However, Marshal was not in a hurry. There was news from the front that these planes were only buffaloes, and the main fighter jets of the United States had not moved yet!
The good show is behind.
