Chapter 1479 Storms are surging (2)

"The other aviation teams that have received training in assault ships are used to move north." The prince said.

"If that's the case, there may be some problems with the speed of our front-line airport." The officer of the Air Force looked at the almost full airport schedule and said.

"It doesn't matter. If the airport really can't be put down, then find a place to make an emergency landing. If you can't find a place, just throw the plane away and people can come back. Throwing dozens of planes is nothing." The answer was unusually decisive.

"Fuck..." After hearing the prince's order, everyone present was surprised, but after a while, the naturally obedient staff began to rework their plans according to the prince's requirements, and all the alternate airports were also Was activated as a temporary airport for fighter forces,

The adjusted plan is like this. The Bavarian Second Air Force will act as the first wave of aircraft groups and will make an all-out attack. Then, after the first wave of aircraft groups have set off, the aircraft group coming from the rear will land on the forward airport for fuel replenishment, and then attack again. Of course, these are mainly fighters and bombers. With 400KG bombs, they are enough to fly from the second-line base to the Darfur.

"Add some more independent fighter forces. They don't need to **** them. The task is to hunt and kill British fighter planes above the target sea area freely." Two hours later, the prince glanced at the newly formulated plan and said.

"His Royal Highness, according to your request, in the air battle tomorrow, the number of aircraft we will mobilize will exceed 400, and it is expected that there will be about 600 takeoffs and landings. This is almost the limit of the forces we can mobilize at present. Almost half of the aviation force has been lost." After Calypte put on the plan for the last time, he said haggardly, the expression on his face was obvious: Just like this, I really can't squeeze it out!

"Can't it be more?" The prince asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"Impossible. Even if we can mobilize more planes from the back, the ground crew at the first-line airport has already reached the limit. They will conservatively estimate tomorrow that everyone will have to work more than 12 hours."

"Well, let's do it, we have done everything we can do, and the rest is up to the soldiers on the battlefield." The prince nodded and said.

And just as the Germans adjusted their deployment and prepared to cover the Spey fleet at all costs, the British were also doing their best to prepare Earl Spey to stay in the Aegean Sea forever!

"Our current situation is not very good." Looking at the deployment of the British and French air forces on the sand table, Lieutenant General Trentchard said with some embarrassment.

"We don't need the air force to use bombs to destroy the Spey fleet, as long as it can block the attack of the opponent's air force, or in other words, we only need fighter jets this time." The navy liaison officer said.

"No, there is a problem with your understanding. What we need this time is to send a large number of fighters to hover in the air for a long time. This requires us to have enough forward bases to support the operation and consumption of fighters. Fighters coming from the rear need to be on the front line. Refuel and transfer at the airport. At present, the only thing we can rely on is the airport of Mytilene. The capacity of this airport is limited. It is not enough to support long-term and high-intensity air cover." Lieutenant General Trentchard Said.

The continued increase in the strength of the Bavarian Air Force will encounter the load problem of the front-line airport, and the British will also encounter these problems, and they will be more serious. The island of Chios seems not far from the battlefield, but in fact most of the planes fly from the direction of Greece. If the plane first flies to the southeast to Chios Island and then goes to the battlefield to the north, then this is a broken line, and the distance is even greater. Far, if you count the take-off and landing, the added oil has limited meaning... After all, British aircraft have shorter legs. What's more, the so-called clever women can hardly cook without rice. After the Royal Air Force was hit hard last time, the number of front-line combat aircraft has been greatly reduced. It hasn't been replenished much, and it will go through the second round of consumption. This is indeed a bit difficult.

"We can also send seaplanes and reconnaissance planes. They also have weapons." An officer said.

"That's just a gift. Every minute of delay is paid with the blood of Air Force personnel." Lieutenant General Trentchard was very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior.

"But at least we should organize them into the reserve team. This time the Germans have had too much influence. We must take decisive action. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. We must defeat Turkey and save Russia. Otherwise, we will be extremely It is possible to lose this war!" said the navy liaison officer.

"Stop telling me about strategy. It has nothing to do with me. What I have to do now is to plan tomorrow's battle." Although Lieutenant Admiral Trenchard is very disgusted with the so-called "strategy", but in the Navy Under pressure from the side, he still incorporated some of the reconnaissance aircraft and seaplanes originally used as auxiliary forces into the reserve team. In this way, after a long time, the total number of aircraft that the British can put into the next day is about 200. With the addition of the two French squadrons, the total is probably around 250! Although the number is not small, the entire British Air Force knows how much moisture there is!

"To be honest, these aircraft have too many auxiliary aircraft, and they belonged to different departments before, coupled with the terrible frontline situation, I can hardly imagine how much combat effectiveness such a fleet can play!" A British Air Force officer Write this in his diary.

Two hours later, Lieutenant General Trentchard informed Fisher of the entire plan by telegram, and looking at the fighter squadrons that were not too many in the battle sequence, Sir Fisher felt helpless~www.mtlnovel. com~Maybe, at this time, it is not a good choice to have a showdown with the other party without adequate preparation. Said the colleague beside Sir Fisher.

"So, should we inform the French of our concerns?" Major General Duff asked.

"Tell me, let's say that our air force is not very sure about fighting for air supremacy, and we must not delay too long." Sir Fisher's subtext is, if the situation is not good, then hurry up!

However, what the British did not expect was that their plan had serious problems at the very beginning. It was not that Trenchard’s calculation was wrong, but because, just before the air force came on the stage, before the final showdown of the two fleets, Earl Pey has already decided to pull out Mytilene Airport, the most important support point of the British Air Force in this battle! After losing an important transit point, it is naturally difficult for the air defense network of the Royal Air Force to work. If this air defense network is compared to an umbrella, then Mytilene Airport is the rib of this air defense network!
