Chapter 81
It took only five minutes before Tian Shi explained the situation to Lan Yun.
During the start of the attack, about one hundred and fifty enemy aircraft came. If these fighters were all carrier-based aircraft, or all from aircraft carriers, they would definitely be four, because even in the best condition, the fleet aircraft carriers of Liang Xia's Navy would not be more than forty carrier-based aircraft aircraft dispatched at a time.
In addition, the carrier capacity of Liang Xia Navy fleet aircraft carriers is about 90.
This means that in the next round of attacks, there will also be about one hundred and fifty carrier-based aircraft.
The key is that the second round of attack will definitely arrive within an hour and a half.
According to the information collected in the past, the combat radius of Liangxia Navy's carrier-based aircraft was about 400 kilometers. After the "Flying Fish" hung an aviation torpedo weighing more than 700 kilograms, the combat radius was less than 400 kilometers, and the cruise speed was about 250 kilometers per hour.
If the second wave of attack aircraft immediately refuels and loads the missiles after the first wave of attack aircraft takeoff, and the carrier-based aircraft will be launched immediately after receiving the message. Even if an attack is launched on the maximum combat radius, the second wave of attack aircraft will definitely arrive before 1:00 pm.
It is 11:30 am now.
What can I do in an hour and a half?
Not to mention what we can do, we don’t even know where the enemy, that is, the special mingling fleet is!
Of course, if you can find the Special Mixed Fleet, or know where the Special Mixed Fleet is, there are not many things you can do based on the current situation of the Mobile Fleet.
Because the "Jahe" was injured and lost its aviation operation ability, it lost one-quarter of its combat effectiveness.
The only fighter jets that can be recycled before "Jahe" are all needed to be recycled to replenish fuel and ammunition.
The remaining three aircraft carriers, about 200 carrier-based aircraft, can launch up to two waves of attacks.
In addition, there are about seven hours left before dark. Including round-trip flights and re-preparation, this time is only enough to launch two waves of attacks.
In any case, after dark, the mobile fleet must retreat. Because there are only four fast battleships, it is necessary to avoid encountering the special fleet at night.
The key is to find the special mixed fleet.
As for the method, Tian Shi also said.
The Chicheng immediately released several ships that could perform reconnaissance missions, followed behind the Liang Xia group that was returning to the flight, and it would not take long to find the special mixed fleet.
In addition, an attack is necessary to be launched first, to be precise, to be precise, to send out an attack aircraft group in time.
To this end, fighter jets that were released from the Canglong and Feilong had not participated in air defense operations and were sufficiently ammunition and fuel, formed a forward escort formation, followed the ship attack that was carrying out reconnaissance missions, and swept away the enemy planes encountered along the way.
After discovering the special mixed fleet, it is responsible for dealing with air defense fighters and covering the attack aircraft group that arrives later.
This move can also serve as a desensitor to the enemy, allowing the enemy commanders to make wrong judgments and dispatch air defense fighters to deal with escort fighters that are not very threatening.
The key is actually the next action.
The three aircraft carriers that can continue to fight will be dispatched in the order of ship explosion first and ship attack later, and the squadron is the basic marshal. The squadron leader is responsible for commanding and launching attacks on the special mixed fleet. Before severely damaging the aircraft carrier, other warships of the special mixed fleet shall not be attacked.
This arrangement has a very prominent advantage, and it will not occupy the flight deck for a long time.
Simply put, it is to keep several fighter jets on the flight deck at any time to ensure that the fighter jets can be launched immediately when an accident occurs, such as when attacked again.
The disadvantages are also obvious.
Because it occupies part of the flight deck, the take-off and taxi distance of the carrier-based aircraft will be shortened by a fraction, and the ship explosion and ship attack will definitely not be able to take off with full fuel. Therefore, after taking off, they can only act separately and cannot form a large aircraft group. There are problems that are difficult to coordinate when launching an attack.
There is no doubt that the success rate of attacks will definitely be reduced and will suffer greater losses.
Tian Shi clearly mentioned that since Liang Xia's carrier-based aircraft launched a dispersed attack, why can't the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy?
The key is that the main purpose of launching the attack first is not to annihilate the special mixed fleet, but to curb the offensive of the special mixed fleet.
Liang Xia's "Longjiang" class can carry 84 carrier-based aircraft under normal conditions, and can carry up to nearly 100 aircraft in combat.
In addition, the Special Mixed Fleet is fighting in waters close to its homeland and is probably covered by shore-based fighter jets, so there is no need to consider fleet air defense.
In theory, the special mixed fleet can launch three waves of attacks continuously!
As mentioned earlier, the remaining forces of the mobile fleet can launch two waves of attacks.
According to Tian Shi, no matter whether Bai Zhizhan is commanding the special mixed fleet or Liu Xiangzhen, he will use all carrier-based aircraft for attack without hesitation.
These two young and strong sects are both offensive winners.
Because it is too late to stop the special-mix fleet from launching a second wave of attacks, what can be counted on is also the winner, which depends on whether the special-mix fleet can be prevented from launching a third wave of attacks. If so, there is still a chance of winning, at least it will not be worse. If it is not done, the mobile fleet will definitely suffer a catastrophe at some point in the afternoon, and may not be able to organize the remaining carrier-based aircraft to launch a counterattack.
Simply put, if you lose with one move, you lose with a move.
If you cannot regain the initiative, you will be in a passive state of being beaten.
This is by no means alarmist, and it has been repeatedly confirmed in war chess deductions.
In order to convince Lan Yun, Tian Shi also emphasized that the pilots of the mobile fleet are all elites of the Navy, and even in the most difficult adversity, they will definitely be able to complete the task. As long as they are given one chance, they will use their actions to repay the commander's trust.
When Tian Shi said these words, Genta stood beside him and expressed his vigorous fighting spirit to destroy the special mixed fleet.
"General, the navy is prosperous and the survival of the imperial kingdom is here!"
At the end, Tian Shi did not forget to emphasize one sentence.
As long as he is involved in the imperial state, even if Lan Yun is still timid, he will definitely feel something. After all, the navy generals take the rise and fall of the imperial state as their responsibility.
Fortunately, Lan Yun did not hesitate this time.
Seeing Lan Yun nodding, Tian Shi dared not delay and immediately looked at Yuan Tian.
Genta didn't ask much, immediately stood attentively and saluted, then turned around and ran out of the commander's bridge. It was obvious that he was also worried that Lan Yun would suddenly change his mind.
Soon, Yuantian arrived at the aviation combat center on the ground floor of the island, which was the pilot standby room.
The captains of dozens of crew members, that is, the pilots, are ready.
Yuantian did not arrange a task immediately, so he first found Captain Qiao Ben of the ship attack squadron and asked him to immediately fly the 97th ship attack to catch up with the returning enemy plane.
In addition, several more ships must be arranged to take off to ensure that they can follow the enemy plane to find the special mixed fleet.
He did not carry out the reconnaissance mission in person, not because he wanted to stay and make achievements in military achievements, nor because he was afraid, but because his landline had not been repaired. When attacking Chengjiang Port, his landline was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun, and there were more than a dozen holes on the fuselage. Although it was nothing serious, it had to take some time to plug the holes.
