Chapter 1732 A Good Show Is Behind (Plus 5)
There have always been contradictions among the various branches of the US military.
In the beginning it was the navy and the army, and later it was the army, navy, and air force. The usual contradictions turned into contradictions. It was absolutely intolerable to hold back at such a time.
These are all for the interests of the United States. In the past, it was enough to do something behind the back, but this time, it is about the life and death of the United States. If the Navy wants to do such a thing, Arnold will never tolerate it.
With deep exhaustion on Admiral Kim's face, he looked at Arnold and said, "We know that the Germans take Greenland as their next target, and we have done a lot of preparations. Now, the battle has started, If the Germans took Greenland without breaking a sweat, what does that mean?"
Hearing this, Arnold was stunned for a moment. Indeed, he didn't seem to think so far.
"The Germans will definitely know that we deliberately released water, so why didn't the Germans raise their vigilance? In which war did the Germans suffer over the years? That Cyric is more cunning than a fox." Jin Shang The general said: "Even if we fail in the end, we must fail after heroic resistance, and let the Germans know our determination to defend Greenland. To this end, our navy must make great sacrifices. These , we are all psychologically prepared, and our navy voluntarily sacrificed for the sake of America."
When he heard this, Arnold knew that he could no longer complain.
Yes, there are omissions in my own tactics. The most powerful thing in the United States is the aviation force. If the German navy comes in a big way, but the aviation force does not resist desperately, then something is wrong, and the Germans will definitely see through it. When they are mentally prepared, it is very likely that the plan will not succeed!
Just when he was about to nod his head, he saw the flickering expression of Nimitz who was sitting at the back. In an instant, his heart was like a mirror. Admiral Jin spit bitterness here, but it was only one of them!
Although there is stubborn resistance, 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? Not much, even if only two aircraft carriers of the German Navy were destroyed, the German Navy had to retreat.
Sly guy!
Although Arnold was clear in his heart, he couldn't say anything more at this time, and could only wait quietly for Roosevelt.
This is a national war. If it fails, the United States will face a more terrible situation. Roosevelt has a heavy pressure.
When the Navy proposed their plan to attack with all their strength, Roosevelt also approved it. This time, it is a full-scale battle, and the world must see the combat effectiveness of the United States!
In this world, as long as the United States is there, Germany will not be arrogant all the time!
The U.S. Navy dispatched ten carrier-based air wings with a total of nearly 800 aircraft.
It is impossible for all these planes to be dispatched together. The ones flying at the front are a group of old-fashioned F2A. Yes, it was the Buffalo that was complacently considered by the US Navy to be the most advanced aircraft carrier-based aircraft in 37 years. Now it is completely outdated. , In the Pacific, it is simply impossible to seize air supremacy with the Zero fighters of the island countries, let alone air battles with German fighters.
F2A is just a bait, attracting German fighter jets to intercept, so that they can spend their air defense forces and provide opportunities for the attacking forces behind.
In terms of operating aircraft carriers, the United States definitely has a say. Once the aircraft carrier is dispatched and the fleet is released, it will lose most of its combat effectiveness, attracting their fighter jets to be dispatched, and then, from other directions, will launch 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 become the main naval warfare weapon, any naval commander still likes to sit on the tall and mighty battleship. This is a traditional inertial thinking.
Redel was studying it carefully.
"The Americans couldn't hold their breath, and dispatched their fighter jets in an attempt to sneak attack our formation. Fortunately, we had sea eyes and discovered them in advance. Now, all our carrier-based aircraft will take off, and the American fighter jets will all be taken off. Kill it!" Rader's fist was clenched tightly, this battle is destined to go down in history.
"Report." At this moment, an adjutant said: "Lieutenant General Marshall suggested that the enemy's situation is unknown, we should not dispatch too many carrier-based aircraft, at most two aircraft carriers' carrier-based aircraft will be released, leaving more to deal with emergencies.”
If it wasn't for Rader's eagerness to come in person, this battle would have been under the command of Lieutenant General Marshall.
Now, Raedel commanded the entire fleet from the battleship, while Lieutenant General Marshall commanded the carrier formation from the Hitler aircraft carrier behind.
When Rader's order was issued, Lieutenant General Marshall immediately returned his opinion.
Although the U.S. Navy's fleet has already been discovered, and the size is more than 100, this is not necessarily the full strength of the United States. If all the carrier-based aircraft are released in advance at this time, they will reappear when they are recovered. What about the mass of American planes?
The muscles on Raidel's excited face suddenly trembled. It was quite speechless to be suggested by a subordinate at this time, but after a little embarrassment, he also realized his mistake in commanding like this.
"Order Lieutenant General Marshall to take full command of this interception of the American fighter jet." Raedl quickly made a decision.
In terms of commanding naval aviation, he is indeed not as professional as Lieutenant General Marshall. In this case, once his command goes wrong, it may bring terrible consequences, and the empire cannot afford it.
Raidl can command the entire fleet, but the command of the specific aircraft carrier aircraft is delegated to Marshall.
On the Hitler aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Marshall received the flagship's order, and was quite happy. He saluted in the direction of the Hindenburg, Commander, it's up to us!
"Order Graf Zeppelin and Munich to take off 40 FW190 fighter jets each to intercept them. Other fighter jets, be ready at any time."
Lieutenant General Marshal is more cautious, and only 80 aircraft have taken off from the two aircraft carriers.
Generally speaking, in interception operations, you should take off more fighters. Only when the number exceeds the opponent's will it be easy to block all the opponents. As long as one slips through the net, it will fly over the fleet. Enough for the German Navy to drink a pot.
However, Machar was not in a hurry. According to the news from the front, this batch of planes were only water buffaloes, and the main fighter of the United States had not moved yet!
The fun is behind.
