Chapter 2749： In a hurry (1/2)
2749 1
What’s more terrifying is that Logan not only considered very well in terms of enticing the enemy, he even arranged the timetable for the action of the Japanese army, and the attack time he aimed at was different from Betty’s idea. The time Logan was preparing to attack Not at dawn, but at the time when the Japanese Navy prepares the second wave of aircraft! And this time is about one hour after dawn!
As for why we have to choose this time point? To answer this question, you must first be clear, that is, if the Japanese do not make a mistake, it is impossible to use a fleet of 140 aircraft to damage 4 aircraft carriers in one wave! The reason is simple. The Japanese’s 4 aircraft carriers can easily make up more than 50 fighter jets. In addition to the attached seaplane carrier and the seaplanes on the battleships, it is not a problem for the Japanese to work hard to make up 80 various aircraft. , Don’t look down on seaplanes, no matter how stupid this thing is, it’s more flexible than torpedo planes...
As far as the US Navy’s hammer is concerned, it’s not a big problem to damage two aircraft carriers, but if you want to damage the other two, it really depends on luck. After all, you can’t expect all your bombs to fall very well. The bombs hit the bow, mid-ship and stern deck respectively. If you have this ability, then it really shows that you are the son of God...
Well, let’s be more realistic. Take a look at the aircraft carrier Constellation. Three blockbuster bombs on the hull deck can still maintain the ability to partially release the aircraft. You know, the Japanese bombed the American aircraft carrier with 500 kg bombs. The Japanese aircraft carrier uses 500-pound bombs... The latter’s power is not a little bit less powerful. According to American experiments, as long as the hit position is not particularly stored, such as hitting a lift or something, the engineering team will remove the damaged wooden boards and steel plates and replace them with new ones. On it.
(But such maintenance of blockbuster bombs is definitely not feasible, because the power of blockbuster bombs is extremely powerful. Not only did the deck blow up, but also the supporting structure under the deck was destroyed and bent, for example, the deck suddenly rose up. A pit or something. You can fill in a pit, but a piece suddenly protrudes. What do you do? This thing is not repairable in the battlefield.)
Therefore, if you want to completely eliminate the 4 Japanese aircraft carriers, then there is only one way, and that is to take advantage of strength... Only when the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier is not so clean, there are planes, fuel, and bombs on it, the U.S. Navy attack will have the best effect! As soon as the bomb goes down, it detonates a large piece! This is a lot of bombs! It's absolutely profitable.
Regarding this issue, Logan and the Americans even conducted experiments, such as how to deal with the flammable and explosive materials on the deck when the fleet encountered an emergency, and how long it would take. In fact, bombs and fuel are the best to deal with, just push them down from both sides. But the biggest problem is, how do you deal with the plane loaded with bombs and fuel....... To be honest, it is not convenient to push this thing! And the volume is so large, in case it gets stuck or even blasts ammunition or fuel due to scratching or other collisions when pushing, then the problem is big. After all, the airplane is heavy and it is inconvenient to push up. After the airplane is positioned, the airplane is tied to special hooks on the deck with ropes. If you want to push the airplane down, you must first untie these ropes... ... And this is a trouble. So, in any case, it takes a long time to clear the deck, even if you push the plane into the sea instead of retracting the hangar...
(Although the aircraft carrier is large and relatively stable, after all, at sea, there are rolling and sea breeze. Therefore, the aircraft in World War II must be fixed with ropes and opened only before being released. What is the role of positioning to a large extent? Just fix the plane.)
Therefore, after referring to the efficiency and time of the German and US navies' deck operations, Logan and others set the offensive time to one hour after dawn! This time should be when the Japanese carrier aircraft has completed the first wave of launch and is preparing for the second wave. Some of the aircraft may have taken off, but there will definitely be some aircraft left on the deck. At this time, the U.S. Navy has the greatest probability of being able to do one Heavy damage to the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet. Only this one chance will not work sooner or later!
”Now, our reconnaissance plane should have found the location of the Japanese aircraft carrier?” Logan looked at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, and marked all known information on the chart.
