Chapter 1380： Doomsday One of the Baltic Fleet (1/2)
Chapter 1380 The end of the Baltic Fleet 1
”The results of the last reconnaissance came out. The Russian fleet did not enter the port of Riga, but was stationed outside the port, surrounded by minefields, and it seems that a lightning net was deployed.” Holding the photo of the last aerial reconnaissance in his hand, Major General Harrell, commander of the Second Aviation Army, began to arrange tasks for his squadron captains.
”We can't compare the hardness of the precious torpedo with the other's lightning protection net. Therefore, before the Russian fleet sets sail, the torpedo unit will wait for a while. Let's use heavy bombs to teach them.” On a huge sand table, Several battleship models are placed to represent the berthing situation of the Russian fleet.
”From north to south, there are three Izmail-class super-dreadnought ships, the flagship Borodino, Izmail and Eagle. A little further away are two Gangu special-class battleships. To the east, there are two cruisers. Then there are at least 16 destroyers on the periphery. Our main goal is those fearless and super fearless. Cruisers can be temporarily ignored. In theory, one squadron and one battleship, each squadron has Possess bombs and torpedoes. The order of attack starts with the flagship. In order to ensure that we can kill this warship in the first time, I hope the first and second squadrons will concentrate their firepower to kill the Borodino!”
”The entire fleet will take off in the early hours of the morning. The navigation method is to use radio, and then conduct landmark navigation after the day. Our departure base is about 230 kilometers away from the target. It takes about two 2-hour flight times, including take-off and The time for the entire team is about two and a half hours. If nothing happens, the entire cluster will arrive at the battlefield at 7 o'clock! According to our intelligence, the Russian fleet operates at about 8 o'clock every day. At this time, their ships should They are all in standby mode. Even if we reserve steam, we can hit the target for about 25 minutes!” Major General Harrell said confidently.
”Do you have any questions?” After arranging the general tasks, the major general added another sentence.
”Should the type and quantity of ammunition that we carry should be finalized? My opinion is that each of our squadrons is about 21 aircraft, of which 9 are torpedoes, carrying heavy torpedoes, and 6 of the other 12 are carrying single 550KG armor-piercing ammunition. There are also 6 high-explosive rounds of 250KG level carried by them, which are used for arson and against light targets.” The chief of staff thought for a while and said.
”In fact, 250KG bombs are still a bit difficult to use against prepaid destroyers. The base is not enough. These little guys are very troublesome to run.” A squadron leader said.
”The target of the first and sixth squadrons is the capital ship, and the types of ammunition they carry remain unchanged. Later, the two reserve squadrons are responsible for clearing the battlefield. You will cooperate with the light cruiser squadron of the High Seas Fleet that has entered the port. Responsible. I don't care.” Major General Harrell said.
”Another problem is air cover. The Russian Air Force is dead in name, so we only arrange three air force fighter squadrons to control the battlefield air supremacy. Among them is a Tracer squadron, they will always hover over the battlefield to ensure that we can be stable. It sank all the Russian fleet in the sea. Okay, gentlemen, do you know what the purpose of our operation is?” At this point, Major General Harrell leaned forward slightly with an inexplicable look on his face. smile.
”Let General Hipper's fleet have no ships to fight!” A group of Bavarian Air Force officers said loudly in the audience!
