Chapter 657: The Execution Tactic of the Decisive Battle of the Atlantic Ocean
Not everyone is willing to be cannon fodder.
Cai E, on behalf of the Chinese Empire, promised them benefits to the member states of the United Nations. After the political deal was reached, the countries jointly sent a cannon fodder force.
Although these 105 submarines are cannon fodders that are rushing in the front, they also have strong combat power. They are difficult to eat if they are not good at teeth, and they may even break their teeth.
The German high seas fleet aircraft carrier battle group quickly sent more than 200 new Junker anti-submarine aircraft to attack. The Junker anti-submarine aircraft equipped with advanced magnetic detectors quickly played a huge anti-submarine role. The anti-submarine torpedoes and deep-water bombs dropped from the anti-submarine aircraft accurately landed in the electromagnetic signal abnormal zone. Not long after, huge waves arose on the sea surface, followed by a series of explosions, and several UN submarines were destroyed.
The battle continues.
Although the Germans have advanced anti-submarine patrol aircraft, their technology is limited to anti-submarine operations. The German fleet's carrier-based radar system is not well developed, and its effective detection distance is only more than 100 kilometers.
The main fleet of the Imperial Navy has been operating outside the radar detection range of the high seas fleet. As long as the carrier-based patrol aircraft sent by the German fleet flew out of their radar surveillance range, they were quickly shot down by fighters of the Imperial Navy Aviation Corps.
Although Admiral Bondi could not confirm the enemy situation a hundred kilometers away, he could not find the exact location of the Chinese Empire fleet, but he knew very well that the enemy fleet was nearby. So Bondi had always been cautious. When he sent anti-submarine aircraft to carry out anti-submarine combat operations, he also ordered carrier-based fighters on the four aircraft carrier combat groups to take off to guard against anti-submarine aircraft operations in order to prevent sneak attacks by Chinese Empire fighters.
However, Bondi calculated it all the time, but he still missed a link. Although more than 200 warning carrier-based fighters sent by the High Seas Fleet took off for alert, the German Navy aviation was too mechanical and rigid. They blindly guarded the Imperial Air Force according to the content of the textbook. They believed that the Imperial Air Force's fighter jets were advanced. They often occupied the commanding heights, and dive raids were their specialty. Therefore, all German fighters stayed at high altitudes for alert.
Little did he know that General Li Dingxin was very familiar with the movements of the German army.
On the bridge of the Guanghua Emperor's nuclear-powered battleship, Li Dingxin can obtain information about the German fleet and aviation from the ship warriors at any time. The powerful active sea and air search radar on the Guanghua Emperor can detect sea and air intelligence within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The hundreds of radar displays in the electronic reconnaissance room accurately record the positions of the main ships of the high seas fleet and the positions of German fighters in the air.
"Report that all enemy fighter aircraft groups are concentrated on high altitude patrols above 7,000 meters!"
"Catch me the command center of the aircraft carrier battle group!"
"Yes! Lieutenant General Wang Kengcheng, commander of the aircraft carrier battle group command center, is online!"
Li Dingxin picked up the phone and ordered: "I am Li Dingxin. I order you to immediately command the fighter aircraft group to fight in the 441 waters. The mission will destroy the enemy's anti-submarine aircraft."
"Yes! Complete the task resolutely!"
"Note! The enemy's alert aircraft are all at high altitudes, and your team can use ultra-low altitude sea-flying methods to avoid the detection of enemy radars!"
"clear!"
"I wish you success!"
Li Dingxin hung up the phone and looked southwest.
The battleship Guanghua Emperor where Li Dingxin is located is located in the center of the main fleet battle group of the Imperial Navy.
Behind and behind the Guanghua Emperor, there are the main battleships of the Chinese Empire's Navy's two-ocean fleet. They include six Ming-class super battleships, four Yuan-class super battleships, four Hawaiian-class super battleships, three Puerto Rican-class super battleships, four North Korean-class super battleships, four Lanfang-class super battleships, four Tornado-class missile cruisers, 36 Typhoon-class Chinese ASCHEU air defense heavy cruisers, sixty-eight Fengxian-class light cruisers, one hundred rain-class hunting ships, two hundred and six Song-class submarines, more than one hundred escort aircraft carriers, and more than fifty communication and reconnaissance ships patrolling nearby.
These warship groups are spread across the sea with a radius of more than 150 kilometers, and are rare in the world in scale.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg of the United Nations fleet participating in this operation.
Looking into the distance southwest along Li Dingxin's gaze, the main aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Empire was placed there. Ten main aircraft carriers with the USS Taishan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as the flagship, including more than 100 light aircraft carriers serving escort and transportation tasks, as well as more than 100 air defense cruisers and anti-submarine destroyers, were guarding and patrolling the surrounding area.
In addition to the warships of the Chinese Empire, hundreds of naval main warships from Britain, France, the Netherlands, Argentina, Chile and other countries are also deployed here.
Although the main battleships of these countries are far inferior to the main battleships of the Imperial Navy, they are incomparable to the main battleships of the German High Seas Fleet opposite. Their role is only when the main battleships of the Imperial Navy destroy or severely damage the German High Seas Fleet. They will dispatch all their lives to attack the remnants of the German Navy and clear the battlefield.
Because the number of warships of the United Nations Army is too large, with complex large and large quality, uneven combat power, and very inconvenient to command, Li Dingxin did not expect the navies of these countries to play a key role. Li Dingxin only used the naval fleets of these countries to conduct feint attacks to restrain and deter the German navy. Only the Imperial Navy was the one who actually carried out the decisive battle of the main battleships. Even the British Royal Navy was actually a so-called "Soul".
Wang Kengcheng conducted combat command within the bridge of the USS Taishan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The third, seventh, and 12th Air Wing took off quickly, forming the first attack echelon, and heading to the 441 airspace in an ultra-low altitude sea-skipping flight attitude.
At the same time, Wang Kengcheng ordered the 300 F6 wildcat ships of the Sixth, Eleventh and Fifteenth Air Wings to attack the 443 airspace to form the second attack echelon. The purpose of its combat is to attract the attention of German fighter jets and create fighters for the brothers to attack German anti-submarine aircraft.
Sure enough, the Germans discovered a fleet of aircraft from the air. German fighter jets on guard at the 441 airspace quickly rushed into the 443 airspace to block.
However, the Germans were also very smart. In order to prevent Li Dingxin from luring his tiger away from the mountain, they left more than 50 fighter jets to continue to guard the 441 airspace. At the same time, Bondy, commander of the High Seas Fleet, also ordered a large number of carrier-based aircraft on the German aircraft carrier to take off to fight.
The 300 F6 Wildcat carrier-based fighters in the first attack echelon quickly rushed into the 441 airspace with the high-speed performance of the jet engine, and their ultra-low-altitude sea-skipping flight effectively avoided the detection of the German carrier-based radar system. However, the German alert aircraft was at high altitude, making the ultra-low altitude of sea level a blind spot for defense.
At 11:17, the fighter group of the first attack echelon of the Chinese Imperial Army entered the 441 airspace. At this time, the German anti-submarine aircraft were launching fierce attacks on the United Nations submarines under the sea. Thirty-three submarines had sunk and fourteen seriously injured, which can be said to have achieved great results.
But before the Germans could celebrate the results, the wildcat ships that broke through the air quickly entered the battle.
The Junker Anti-Submarine aircraft, which had no ability to fight against the Wildcats, had no power to fight back. With just one encounter, more than 60 Junker Anti-Submarine aircraft were shot down.
The sudden attack immediately panicked the German pilots who were carrying out anti-submarine operations. Although the fifty German fighter jets patrolling high altitude quickly dived down to reinforce, more than half of the German anti-submarine aircraft began to turn around and fly back.
However, in front of jet fighters, the German propeller aircraft seemed too slow, especially the Junker anti-submarine aircraft. The design goal was to attack submarines, and the fuselage carried a large number of anti-submarine torpedoes and deep-water bombs and flew too slowly, and it could not escape the tiger's mouth of the Wildcat carrier-based fighter.
The first attack echelon was divided into more than 90 combat groups. Overall, it directly surrounded the German anti-submarine aircraft group in a fishing net-style combat formation, chasing and attacking them all the way, shooting down one enemy aircraft after another.
The German fighter jets that dived down to reinforce did not seem to have much effect and were soon intercepted by the Chinese Empire fighter jets in an organized manner. They could not reinforce the German anti-submarine aircraft that were attacked at low altitudes.
On the other hand, the German fighter fleet that had just arrived in the 443 airspace had already exchanged fire with the second attack echelon of the Chinese Empire. The two sides quickly fought together, and it was difficult to distinguish. German fighter jets could not return to reinforcements at all. However, a large number of fighter jets that took off from the German aircraft carrier were still halfway, and it would take at least 20 minutes to reach the 441 airspace.
Twenty minutes, for the Wildcat Ship Battle of the Imperial Army, it was enough to easily eliminate these more than 200 German Junker Anti-Submarine aircraft.
Bondy, commander of the High Seas Fleet, obviously realized the seriousness of the problem, but he did not have time to ask how the enemy planes appeared in the k9(441) airspace without realizing it.
"At any cost, we must keep the Third Wing (Anti-Submarine Wing)!"
Bondy's orders were almost yelled, but no matter how loud the sound was, it could not change the facts.
After watching a Junker anti-submarine aircraft being chased and beaten by the Imperial Chinese Army's wildcat ships, it either exploded in the air or dragged long smoke to the sea, Bondy's heart was almost broken.
Bondy knew very well that once the German Junker anti-submarine fleet was eliminated, it meant that they would no longer be able to effectively restrain the submarine fleet of the Imperial Navy. The high seas fleet would be attacked by torpedoes from under the sea at any time, which would be fatal.
"The Third United may not be able to come back!"
Otto had already seen that Junker's anti-submarine aircraft was fighting a wildcat ship, just like a sheep and a wolf, and it was a foregone conclusion to be eaten.
"Without anti-submarine aircraft, we will be very passive!"
Bondy only felt his scalp tingling. If he was only worried about the powerful strength of the Chinese Empire Navy surface combat fleet, then he was afraid of the Chinese Empire Navy submarine fleet. Without anti-submarine aircraft, the empty door would be wide open under the water. Facing the Song-class submarine known as the ocean black hole, the high seas fleet would fall into a huge passive state.
Bondy asked: "How many new anti-submarine aircraft are left?"
Otto explained: "I'm afraid that those who fly out will not be able to come back! The only ones that are left on the aircraft carrier and those in the hangar will not exceed thirty."
Bondy frowned and said, "There should be dozens of sets of spare magnetic detectors in the hangar. They should be installed on other reconnaissance aircraft immediately. Even if it is a little simpler, as long as it can detect enemy submarines. If there are no anti-submarine aircraft, our fleet will be in danger."
Otto nodded and said, "I understand, I'll make arrangements myself now!"
While speaking, the last Junker anti-submarine aircraft in the 441 airspace was also shot down. Bundy could only sigh, but there was no way out.
The Chinese Imperial Army fighter jets were all aimed at the anti-submarine aircraft. After destroying the last anti-submarine aircraft, the first and second attack echelons both chose to retreat decisively.
"Typical scabbard tactic!"
Bondy couldn't help but sigh. He had to admire his opponent Li Dingxin. This tactic was used very well. (To be continued...)
