If the army's equipment can still wait, then the navy's equipment cannot afford to wait. Xu Jie believes that the Chinese Navy only has 4 to 5 years to prepare at most, and the Germans will not let the Allies wait too long.

The Germans' increasing military expenditures year by year have told the world that they intend to fight a war. In this war

The major powers in China are unavoidable. China must also make preparations as soon as possible. As a navy man, Xu Jie is naturally very concerned about naval construction. After concluding the discussion on the army tank replacement plan, Xu Jie met with Yang Yonglin, the leader of the navy.

senior officers of the Chinese Navy, as well as Su Mo and others who had just returned from the United States.

As a time traveler, Xu Jie highly admires the American Red Flag military exercise in that dimension. Using an elite unit to simulate the opponent's tactics as a blue army and then tempering the troops is an efficient and targeted exercise. Therefore, it is an efficient and targeted exercise.

Xu Jie also ordered all branches of the Chinese military to form Blue Army units and train their troops in the manner of the Red Flag military exercises. Naturally, the Navy also organized a professional Blue Army unit, and based on the collected intelligence and Xu Jie

Jie's guesses and guidance are used to simulate the tactics of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet in the future. Based on its own situation and the intelligence collected, the Chinese Navy has considered that the Germans with larger aircraft carriers may deploy larger combat aircraft and guided weapons on the aircraft carriers.

In addition, combined with the new fast fighter (fw190) that appeared in the German Air Force at the end of the Iran War, the Chinese Navy has a certain understanding of the future tactics of the German Navy.

"The Germans are trying to increase the attack speed of aircraft carrier formations. The new German aircraft is very fast and has more fuel. Although it is smaller in appearance, I think its payload should be the same as that of our Shicha Falcon fighter.

Pretty much. With slight modifications these aircraft can become a pretty good dive bomber, somewhat similar to our Seagull in its positioning

"Fighter." When Yang Yonglin said this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Because in his eyes, the Seagull aircraft has always been a bomber. And after being equipped with a new double-row 18-cylinder engine not long ago, the Seagull's flight performance has skyrocketed.

It even has similar performance to the Stone Kestrel! This may be the only single-engine aircraft that has changed from a "bomber" to a "fighter"!

"It may be difficult for a single-engine torpedo aircraft to achieve high-speed cruising. The weight and volume of the torpedo have a great impact on the aircraft's cruising speed. So if they do not want to slow down the formation, then they will definitely use twin-engine aircraft.

The Germans' new aircraft carrier can fully accommodate similar

A mosquito-sized twin-engine aircraft operates. If we fight the German Navy in the future, it may only take 90 minutes from the time they discover us to the time their bombs fall on our heads! This is a huge challenge to our defenses.

." Yang Yonglin's words were full of worry.

"The threat of twin-engine carrier-based aircraft is far from simply increasing the flight speed of the fleet. The Germans can add guided bombs to the twin-engine aircraft, or add electronic equipment and radar to increase the early warning capabilities and electronic warfare of the aircraft carrier fleet.

capabilities. The Germans' electronic warfare level has been greatly improved, which makes their fleet more sensitive and concealed. The effects brought by these non-combat aircraft are even better than those of

Attack aircraft full of bombs are even more terrifying. The opponent's electronic warfare aircraft can directly reduce our radar warning distance. Coupled with their high-speed fleet, our defense preparation time has been greatly shortened." Ye Ming added on the side, once

Ye Ming, who loudly outspoken the British in the war game and was later defeated by Su Mo, is now the commander-in-chief of the Navy Blue Army, specializing in studying and analyzing German tactics.

"So if the two sides are fighting at a distance of 350 kilometers. With the same fleet size, if we find each other at the same time after replacing Seagull fighter jets, can our aircraft carrier self-defense fleet effectively defend against the opponent's attack? If the Germans use new fighter jets and

What about fast bombers?" Xu Jie asked.

"If both sides discover their opponents at the same time and then take off the first wave of attack aircraft, the two sides will almost destroy each other, because it takes about half an hour for both sides to launch their aircraft. 350 kilometers is just a distance for the Germans' fast fleet.

55 minutes (including air fleet). During this time, each of our aircraft carriers can only

If we can prepare a squadron of fighters and complete the launch, even if there are too few fighters in the air before, it will be difficult to intercept the opponent. Moreover, the opponent's bombers are also very fast. Our interception opportunities will be greatly reduced.

Under interference, it is difficult for us to conduct tail pursuit interception, because this will put our fighter jets in an extremely dangerous state."

"And this is when our early warning is not interfered with. Under this setting, we can detect the opponent's aircraft fleet at a distance of 180km, and then arrange for the aircraft to enter high altitude and standby. If the opponent deploys jammers or feints,

If so, our interception efficiency will be further reduced." There was a sense of helplessness in Ye Ming's words. The Germans' fast fleet was too fast, even with the help of radar, the interception depth and warning time were greatly compressed.

.

"Can the interception efficiency be improved by increasing dispatch capabilities? For example, the ship-borne early warning aircraft can directly guide the fighter jets to fight?" Xu Jie thought for a while and asked.

"This is very difficult. Although the air force's watchtower-type early warning aircraft has greatly improved the interception efficiency, this cannot be directly copied to the navy. First of all, from an efficiency point of view, our aircraft carriers cannot accommodate 4-engine large aircraft.

The early warning aircraft has high-power radar, communication equipment and numerous pilots, which is a complete guidance system in itself. Our twin-engine aircraft is too small, so it would be good if it can carry three people, namely the driver and the radar operator.

And the radio operator. Want to rely on three

It is simply impossible for one person to guide hundreds of aircraft! So our current guidance method is that after the twin-engine early warning aircraft finds the target, it reports the opponent's coordinates to the warship, and then the personnel on the aircraft carrier are responsible for allocating the air defense force. This working model is inherently

There is a delay, but we have no better way. In addition, even if we are fighting in the coastal area, we can get help from the watchtower early warning aircraft. The actual guidance effect will not be very good. Because this is due to the nature of the target we need to defend.

It’s determined by the characteristics of air combat!”

"I have read the records of the watchtower early warning aircraft participating in the war. The early warning aircraft have indeed greatly increased our air defense efficiency. The opponent dropped a lot less bombs on our heads, but that is a cumulative amount. To put it more simply, if the opponent launches an attack with 100 aircraft

Under normal circumstances, 20 tons of bombs can be dropped on the first day. On the second day, the opponent may drop 18 tons due to losses and attendance. On the third day, it may be 15 tons. And because of the existence of early warning aircraft, the bombs may be dropped on the first day.

The opponent may be able to drop 19 tons of bombs. On the second day, it may only be 14 tons. Because of the existence of the early warning aircraft, we severely damaged the opponent on the first day. However, in fact, because the response of the early warning aircraft was still a bit slow, the early warning aircraft was unable to respond to the first wave of attacks.

The weakening is very limited. Although it can be improved through tactics and command systems, it is difficult to say how much the effect will be improved." After finishing speaking, Ye Ming looked at everyone present. When some people suddenly realized it, he continued.

"The Army has enough units to withstand the first day's attack. In fact, air strikes can rarely defeat the opponent in one day. But the Navy is different. Don't talk about the first day, maybe the first wave of attacks can decide

To determine the outcome of both sides, the second wave will be the final blow, and the third wave may not happen at all. So we currently

The current dilemma is that our sea-based early warning capability is far weaker than that of the air force, but the attacks we face are no less than those of the German air force. The spears are too sharp, and the shields are too fragile. And the defense of armored aircraft carriers is not that reliable. 1

Tons of armor-piercing bombs can penetrate the defenses of almost all armored aircraft carriers in various countries." Ye Ming said.

Having said this, Xu Jie and others finally understood the problems faced by the Navy's aircraft carriers. This is like playing a tower defense game in later generations. In the case of the Air Force, it is easy difficulty. It doesn't matter if one channel is long and one screen misses 20 units. And the Navy's

The situation is on hard difficulty. If a passage is half the screen long and misses 5 units, you will lose! The depth is too small.

My hands are too fast, my reaction is a little slow, and the gap between the two sides' aircraft is not very big. It is naturally difficult for me to defend myself when the opponent drags his family with him. This is like playing wow in later generations. After the human race bought the acceleration scroll (don't ask me how to do it)

), just pull the militiaman to open the scroll and rush over in a wave. The attack is too fierce and directly saturates the opponent's defense!

"Send over your several deduction reports, and I'll take a look at it." Xu Jie understood what Ye Ming said very well, and Xu Jie could think it through even without him. Because before Ye Ming reported, even before Su Mo

Before joining the Iranian fleet, Xu Jie and Su Mo had already roughly deduced the relevant offense and defense.

.It's just that it's not detailed in terms of quantity. But this time, with the first-hand information sent by his subordinates, Xu Jie can finally see how the two sides fought in the exercise. These battles are still simulated on the ground.

Because to put it bluntly, China’s largest aircraft carrier is not as good as the Germans.

The German aircraft carrier Europa has a larger deck and hangar, which is enough to operate an aircraft the size of a Mosquito, while China's 30,000-ton armored aircraft carrier is more difficult. And China has not yet added dual-purpose aircraft to its sea-based aviation force.

Launching aircraft. This is also slower than the Germans. Related carrier-based aircraft operation simulations have also begun, but most of them are single aircraft and small-scale crew operations. Large-scale training has not yet begun.

Considering that the scale of future aircraft carrier battles will be relatively large, Ye Ming and others arranged up to 4 aircraft carriers for each side when setting up, which means that the number of aircraft for each side of the Red Army and the Blue Army will reach more than 400

!Such a large number can already avoid some unexpected situations. For example, a pilot was very lucky today and shot down so many planes during the exercise that it affected the judgment of the battle situation. 400 planes indicate a wave of attacks with at least

180 aircraft, an attack of this size

The consequences of the attack cannot be solved by a few pilots with overwhelming combat capabilities. The Blue Army completely simulated the German establishment, using Seagull fighter jets to replace the German new aircraft and dive bombers, and using Mosquitoes to replace possible German aircraft.

twin-engine bomber

, the ratio of single-engine aircraft to twin-engine aircraft is 4 to 1. The red team’s task is to attack the blue team while blocking the blue team’s attack. The distance between the two sides is 350km to 450km. Various settings have been completed, let’s take a look

The results of several battles between the two sides.

In the first game, both sides discovered their opponents at the same time and launched an attack. 200 aircraft taking off from the Blue Army aircraft carrier formed a huge formation and flew towards the target. About 190 kilometers away from the Red Army aircraft carrier, the Red Army's airborne early warning aircraft discovered the Blue Army aircraft carrier.

military aircraft group,

And began to concentrate direct guard fighter jets and fighter jets that had just taken off from the aircraft carrier to intercept the opponent. After the Red Army completed the interception deployment, the actual combat distance between the two sides had shortened to about 80 kilometers. Yes, you read that right, right here

The Red Army sees its opponent and will

The information was transmitted back to the aircraft carrier, and while the aircraft carrier was concentrating its aircraft, the German fleet suddenly came in about 100 kilometers away! China's defense performance was already very good, because it only took the Chinese Air Force 15 minutes to complete all this work.

About! And it takes 15 minutes to

For the German army whose cruising speed is close to 500 kilometers, it is enough for them to advance to about 120 kilometers! If China can intercept the opponent at 80 kilometers in actual combat, it will really burn a lot of incense! Then China has about 100 various aircraft

The fighter jets are ready to intercept!

"When I first saw the opponent's fleet, I knew we had failed. The Blue Army guys must have put a lot of thought into the formation. The Blue Army formation was flying towards us like a wall. They

The formation is divided into two groups, one is the high-altitude group and the other is the low-altitude group. The high-altitude group is about 30

There are two fighter jets and 60 dive bombers flying at an altitude of about 6,000 meters. The fighter jets are in front and the bombers are behind. The fighter force crashes into our interception net like a spearhead. Our interception height is about the same as that of our opponents, and we will soon be with them.

The other party got into a fight, and then the following

The bombers took advantage of the situation and rushed over. 80 kilometers seemed very far, but for the accelerating Seagull aircraft, it was less than 10 minutes! Within 10 minutes, my teammates and I had to shoot down 60 bombers.

Dive bomber! This is simply an impossible mission! Ultimately, the man responsible for flying at high altitude

The 60 fighter jets that intercepted only shot down less than 20 bombers! Two of our comrades were even bitten by bombers that dropped their loads! I think they forgot that the reason why the other side called them bombers was just because they were hung with bombs!

That's all!" said a squadron leader in charge of high-altitude interception.
Chapter completed!
