The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1232: Fight to midgame

Chapter 1232

"This is not a battle, it is simply a slaughter! Although I have not personally experienced the front line, I can imagine how helpless the boys in the bomber unit are. They can easily hunt down all the British bombers that appear in sight. They are not afraid of ours. Self-defense firepower, catch up easily, and then kill it cleanly, as easy as picking up what has fallen on the ground. This is a situation we have never encountered before, and their presence is a blow to the developing Royal Air Force bomber force! "In the diary of the day, the Lieutenant General wrote this.

Although, the Royal Air Force has a big business. But throwing away about 40 FB27 and O-400 bombers in two separate battlefields is definitely a huge loss for the Royal Air Force. You can compare it to the fact that the Royal Air Force in 1943 in the 2nd battle directly dropped 40 blues. The situation in Castor is even worse than this. what? You said that if FB27 is analogous to Lancaster in World War 2, what is the analogy of V1500? That is at least B29 level! If you change into money, not counting fuel, bombs and personnel, these 40 bombers alone are worth at least £400,000! If you change to a tank, you can build 80 to 100! According to the British organization, this is equivalent to throwing away two armored regiments in less than two hours...

This loss alone was enough to hurt Lieutenant General Trentchard, and what made Lieutenant General feel even more heartache was that with the loss of the crew of these bombers, there were 5 people on a bomber, 40 of which were the best 200 members of the Royal Air Force. The crew is gone. For this operation, these personnel were carefully selected, and the loss of one is regrettable. And now, more than 200 people died all at once.... Although the Royal Air Force is now huge, the death of so many elites in a very short period of time is definitely an out-and-out blow. Like the distribution of social wealth, a small number of top pilots have achieved most of the results. For example, in the case of the German 2nd World War submarine, 5% of the ace captains have obtained nearly half or more of the results, and experienced bomber pilots The loss is far more terrible than the loss in numbers! What's even more disturbing is that the bomber units that attacked Port Ereli have not returned news yet, so it's really hard to tell how they fought there!

"We used more than half of our forces to attack Earl Spey's fleet, and we also received the full support of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. There shouldn't be any problems." At this time, Lieutenant Admiral Stetti of the Navy was in a mood. Very good. After all, he is not a child of his own family.

Besides, it is worthwhile to exchange a bomber worth 400,000 pounds for 2 fast battleships and 1 armored cruiser, even if it is not sinking, just heavy damage is possible. At least the economic account is correct! As for the strategy, this is no problem! In his opinion, killing the Allied Mediterranean Fleet is equal to winning the future landing battle. It is equivalent to killing Turkey and opening up the channel with Russia. Not to mention throwing 40 bombers. Lieutenant Admiral Stetti believes that throwing away the Allied Mediterranean fleet is It's worth playing out! Of course, Lieutenant General Stetti did not dare to speak out, otherwise, he might become the least popular person in the Royal Air Force.

"I don't know what the situation is now." Lieutenant General Stetti asked.

"It's very chaotic, there has been no signal for 45 minutes! All communications seem to have been interrupted. I don't know if it is because of the chaos during the war or some technical problem." Lieutenant General Trentchard said with a gloomy face.

The technical problem he was talking about certainly did not mean that there was something wrong with the telegraph on his side. For today's action, the British prepared a dozen high-power telegraphs. Although radio communication is a bit unreliable in this era, if there are enough backups, then it is okay. In the British bomber force that attacked Port Ereli, every V1500 was equipped with a telegraph, every three The twin-engine bomber is equipped with a medium wave telegraph. In theory, every four-engine bomber and every twin-engine bomber team leader can communicate with the headquarters... But now, hehe....

It is impossible for the Germans to destroy all the British bombers, so there is only one possibility that the British bomber units entering the theater cannot communicate because of the German electronic interference! No communication... This meant that the British bomber forces that entered the battlefield became deaf and blind. Attacks will no longer be coordinated, and they will become more helpless in the face of various threats.

"Our Group A knows that the Germans have sent troops to deal with bombers?" Lieutenant General Trentchard asked.

"We sent a telegram an hour ago, but there was no response. We don't know if they received it." The officer who assisted the contact was full of helplessness.

"Asshole!" Lieutenant General Trentchard cursed in a low voice, not just him cursing. At this time, on the sea and in the air outside Erreli Port, Germans, British and Russians were cursing. This chaotic scene is so chaotic that the three parties found each other, but no one dared to do it easily! If such a scene can appear on the battlefield, the three commanders are also drunk!

First of all, it was discovered that the script was different from the actual situation. It was the Russians who had a serious separation! According to the Russians’ understanding, the previous plan was like this. When the Germans didn’t know why, it’s best to not even get up when the British bomber fell from the sky and output tons of damage, sinking the German main battleship or Heavy damage ~lightnovelpub.net~ Then the Russians took advantage of the opportunity to enter the field to make up for the knife. With the help of seaplanes, they used naval guns to sink the German warships in the port... Then finish work!

But the current situation can be described as "fuck"! The Russians also specifically considered the issue of running out if the German fleet was not severely damaged. Therefore, in order to ensure safety, the Russians deliberately chose a place 50 kilometers northeast of Erreli Port for standby. According to the Russian fleet’s speed of 15 knots, minus the distance of about 12 kilometers of the shelling, the distance between the two is 38 kilometers. If the British start bombing, then the Russians can take the port of Ereli in at most one hour. Come within your own shelling range. And if the Germans were not hit hard, but rushed out, this distance would be enough for the Russians to turn in smoothly.

But who would have thought that the plan did not change quickly! Before the British bombs were dropped, the observation post deployed outside the port of Erreli spotted the British bombers. Then, the Earl of Spey’s fleet decisively left the port to take refuge, so good, where do you go after leaving the port? Naturally, it is away from the direction of the British bombers. The British came from the west, so I'll go to the east. Then the Spey fleet going east found the Russian fleet waiting to pick peaches in the northeast...
