Chapter 150 Kite Flying Tactics (1)
"My head of state, this result is simply incredible, it's really surprising."
Some senior executives in the command department looked at the huge sand table. Eighteen ships on the model ship of Rutt's squadron were planted with white flags. Even the five light cruisers with good combat power in Rutt's squadron were all sunk.
At this time, Marshal Kettle was as sad as if he had died. He and General Catherine had already made a bet that he was also a firm giant ship cannonist. This result simply made Marshal Kettle's face sound like a "slap"! But Marshal Kettle was very tough:
"My head of state, this is purely an accident. It was all Rutt-yong who made tactical mistakes. This cannot explain any problem. Marshal Redel still has more than 80 warships, including heavy warships such as battleships. The air defense firepower on him is not weak, not to mention more than 30 submarines commanded by Denitz! It is too early to say that the winner is defeated! I don't think it's certain who will win or die!"
"Okay! Then keep paying attention to battlefield exercises!"
At this time, Marshal Redell also received a telegram from the exercise headquarters, saying that his Rutte squadron was wiped out, and the remaining two destroyers were also turning around and running away at full speed. When he received this news, he was so angry that he vomited blood. He sent out twenty warships, but he was eaten by Li Mo's air strike. When the German Air Force was so powerful, Redell couldn't believe it, but it was true. Redell really couldn't figure out why Ju87 was so powerful. This was mainly because he didn't know that Ju87 dive bombers were natural nemesis for targets like ships. At a near vertical dive angle, the air defense firepower of the bombed ships was basically invalid. Only the friendly ships of the bombed ships can provide them with air defense firepower. If it was not a intensive air defense formation, or after a large amount of mutual fire support training, the dive bombing of Ju87 by the ship was an unsolvable curse.
Li Mo was at this time in the bridge combat room of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier and had a meeting with several main commanders. Li Mo was relieved and said with a smile:
"Brothers, look at how brilliant the battle results are. We have chopped off the black claws that Marshal Redel stretched out. Now let's give Marshal Redel's main fleet a kite flying tactic."
"Kite flying tactics? Commander-in-chief, what is kite flying tactics! Is there any tactics in naval battles?"
The commander below didn't understand what kite flying tactics was, so Li Mo had to explain patiently to them:
"Brother, let me tell you about the previous life of the kite flying tactics, which was the Mongol Cavalry's Manguda warfare. My kite flying tactics are the naval battle with Manguda.
Simply put, the Manguda warfare technique, that is, the cavalry and archer are rushing toward the enemy chasing behind while surviving. The essence of this tactic is to attack the enemy from a long distance, and to continuously attack the enemy, and to give the enemy no chance to fight back. Under this attack, no matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor are, it is only a matter of time to completely collapse. At that time, most European knights were equipped with heavy helmets and heavy armor. Although they were very powerful in melee combat, their mobility was simply impossible to compare with the Mongolian cavalry. If they encountered a Mongolian cavalry, they would not be able to compare with the Mongolian cavalry.
They could not catch up. They could not even escape, and they could only serve as targets. Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry did not rely entirely on strong attacks like European knights. They only used bows and arrows to kill the enemy for most of the time before they could fight against the enemy. In April 1241, the Mongolian cavalry relied on this tactic to defeat the most elite Hungarian army in Europe on the banks of the Danube (led by Hungarian King Bella IV). They killed more than 70,000 enemies and played a song "Red Danube" with bows and arrows, almost completely eliminating Europe's resistance.
Brothers, do you understand?"
"Baoba... Commander-in-Chief, this method is good! In this way, Marshal Redel's main fleet will be hung and fought."
"Where did Marshal Redel lead his army to escape?"
Destroyer commander Hahn suddenly asked this question. Li Mo had to continue to explain:
"Our Marshal Redel leads the fleet to escape, and we stick it up like candy. We can always keep a distance of more than 200 nautical miles from Marshal Redel's main fleet, so that our carrier-based aircraft can also hang him and fight...hehe."
As soon as the tactic was determined, Li Mo immediately ordered the aircraft carrier formation to transfer routes and search for the defense line from the Redell fleet. At the same time, Li Mo asked the supply ship to hoist the aircraft that was sentenced to withdraw from the exercise and came to lift the new aircraft. At this time, Li Mo lost eight ju87. This loss would not have any impact on the attack power of the aircraft carrier formation. You should know that Li Mo had 48 spare aircraft.
Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation is not fast, only about fifteen knots. Because the speed of the u2 submarine is only a dozen knots, the entire aircraft carrier formation cannot get fast. In addition to hanging the submarine behind the destroyer, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation must use submarines to discover those submarines that are submarines, so this method is not necessary to consider for the time being. Using submarines for underwater monitoring can be much better than surface ships. In addition, the German UII submarine is already being tested. This submarine is more drained with a load, which is more advanced than the U2 used by Li Mo. His record is also the most brilliant.
On the first day of searching, Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation did not gain anything. On the second day, a submarine thirty nautical miles away from the aircraft carrier formation sent an emergency message. The submarine reported that they heard a lot of noise, about five nautical miles away from them. Finally, they asked for the next step of action. Li Mo certainly knew whether the submarine was asking whether to evacuate immediately or meet him to see what happened. Li Mo only had six submarines, and did not dare to use a submarine to do experiments. Li Mo pondered for a moment and decided to call the submarine directly with radio. In order to tell the coordinates of the submarine, Li Mo's order was very simple, which was to let the submarine return to the surrounding area of the aircraft carrier immediately. After calling Li Mo, the aircraft carrier formation ordered immediately to adjust its course and escape.
Li Mo called directly using radio, which was equivalent to telling Denitz clearly the coordinates of his aircraft carrier formation. Will Li Mo's father-in-law Denitz show mercy? It is impossible. This is an exercise. The views of both sides are related to the future life and death of the German Navy. Denitz will definitely do his best.
Sure enough, Dunitz, who led more than 30 submarines, discovered Li Mo's radio call signal, not to mention the accurate coordinates. Dunitz instantly had the general position of Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation. Even if it was a trap, Dunitz had to catch up at this time, so Dunitz immediately ordered all submarines to surround them in a fan shape.
Li Mo was fighting wits and courage with his father-in-law. Li Mo deliberately exposed his position, and Denitz also knew his son-in-law's cleverness. He understood that his son-in-law wanted to lure him up to attack the aircraft carrier formation. Will Denitz be the same as Rutt? Of course not. Denitz gave his submarine a dead order and just hung Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation from a distance. If necessary, you can launch torpedoes from a long distance or place mines in front of the aircraft carrier.
Can submarines catch up with Li Mo's aircraft carrier formation? Even if they catch up, will Li Mo have no anti-submarine means?...
