Chapter 1629: The same is true for 1630
Chapter 1629 The same is true for 1630
One of the pleasures is to watch the enemy aircraft gather on the radar screen, and then rush towards a sea of nothing.
The greater fun is that when these aircraft are flying towards non-existent enemies, you command your carrier-based aircraft to sink the aircraft carrier they took off from.
When these planes come back, they will find that they have no place to land. Looking at the dwindling fuel number on the instrument panel, the expressions of these pilots must be very wonderful.
Bernard is doing this now. He knows that the dwarves have released carrier-based aircraft, and he also knows that the direction in which these carrier-based aircraft are flying is far from where he is.
And his new batch of attack aircraft units have begun to launch missiles to attack the weak dwarf aircraft carriers that no longer have the protection of carrier-based aircraft.
A few anti-ship missiles can destroy an aircraft carrier. Although the Tang Army does not have many carrier-based aircraft, the penetration capabilities of these aircraft are certainly strong enough.
Soon, Bernard waited for the results of his third batch of carrier-based aircraft attacks: they launched at least 40 anti-ship missiles, more than 80% of which hit the target.
Both the Dwarf's two aircraft carriers have been hit, but the specific damage is not yet clear. The three aircraft carriers of the Elf have also been hit, and it is only a matter of time before they sink.
"Marshal, I suggest that the target of the fourth batch of strike operations can be changed to Dorne's fleet. They are the only variable now." The officer of the aircraft carrier aircraft made suggestions to Marshal Bernard.
The only intact fleet on the opposite side is Dorne's northward fleet. This fleet also has two aircraft carriers. In theory, these two aircraft carriers are the only threat to the Tang army now.
But everyone knows that this threat actually only exists on paper. Even if the two aircraft carriers attack with all their strength, they will not be able to break through the defense circle of the Tang fleet.
So Bernard waved his hand, signaling to his men that there was no need to rush in to pull in the passerby who had not yet figured out the situation. The other party can't run away anyway, so it's not impossible to stay at the end and take care of them.
"There's no need to rush to disperse our forces to find trouble in Dorne. Let's deal with the elves and dwarves' fleet first. It won't take long anyway." After Bernard said this, he ordered the fifth batch of attack aircraft to take off. The command.
The Tang Army only has four aircraft carriers, and they do not carry many aircraft. As the main strike equipment, there are only about 140 Intruder attack aircraft.
The ones preparing to attack now are actually the aircraft that have completed the first batch of attack missions. After the pilots take a short rest, they will take off again and continue the "bomb-dropping training."
Yes, the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Tang Army nicknamed the naval battle "bomb-dropping training" because their own internal confrontation exercises were much more intense than this actual combat.
During internal exercises, they had to face Navy Shark fighter jets, as well as imaginary enemy force early warning aircraft, intruder attack aircraft, and Prowler electronic warfare aircraft.
Their enemies do not have such advanced gadgets. They only have World War II propeller aircraft such as Zeros or Corsairs, and their threat value is almost zero.
Therefore, in actual combat, the Tang Army's Intruder attack aircraft pilots did not feel any pressure. They would not encounter enemy aircraft inexplicably entering the battlefield, nor would they encounter the enemy using electromagnetic interference and decoys to disrupt anti-ship missiles. , let alone face the dangerous interception of anti-aircraft missiles. They don't even need to enter the enemy's sight. They can just set the missile according to the parameters from a distance and launch it.
It is precisely because of this that the Tang Army can take off and land aircraft at a faster speed than in the exercise, and at the same time allow the pilots to dispatch more waves - in tasks that do not require a high degree of concentration, the pilot's fatigue value will not increase. Too fast.
"The Elf's plane has started to return. I guess they will make an emergency landing into the sea soon." The chief of staff stood beside Bernard, with a victor's smile on his face.
Until the end, the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the Elf did not send back any useful information. The opponent was always blind and did not even know where the opponent was.
Those Elf carrier-based aircraft that took off and scurried around did not find the Tang Army fleet at all. The lucky ones flew in the opposite direction of the Tang Army fleet and found nothing. The unlucky ones flew straight towards the Tang Army fleet and were shot down...
“Cherish the present moment, there will be no more games like this to tease children in the future.” Bernard did not laugh. On the contrary, he even felt a little lonely.
Enemies died one after another. The Tang Empire was like an invincible sword master, and there was no worthy opponent wherever it went. This kind of loneliness is not something that novices can understand.
In the past, on the sea, there was no more heroic decisive battles in which everyone braved the wind and waves, no more desperate battles with big ships and huge cannons filling the sky with fire, no more cunning calculations and precise layouts...
Satellites can now provide early intelligence, early warning aircraft can light up local maps, advanced carrier-based aircraft can kill opponents one to ten, and the Tang Army's fleet can crush opponents as far away as 700 kilometers away.
Such a war can only be described as boring for commanders. Except for the logistics supply commander and a group of accountants, commanders at all levels will not improve much.
They are more and more like they are playing a war game, pushing the chess pieces in their hands to the corresponding positions, and then only calculation and waiting are left.
At the end of the war, half of the commanders could not even hear the loud noise of the explosion, could not see the desperate eyes of the enemy, and could not touch the sticky and warm blood...
Punching the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking the Beihai Kindergarten, it seems invincible, but it is more like playing chess with a bad chess piece. Maybe even one's own level may not be maintained.
Look at the domestic generals and finance ministers sitting in their offices. In countless meetings, they have begun to talk about cutting military spending and clamoring for more cost-effective ways to win future naval wars.
Bernard doesn’t know what naval battles will look like in the future, but he knows very well what naval battles will look like in the past. Ten years ago, he could never have imagined that today's naval war would turn into what it is now, so he was very sure that no one except His Majesty the Great Emperor could guess how the future naval war would be fought.
In his opinion, if His Majesty the Emperor did not say to reduce the number of aircraft carriers, then the Tang Empire should build bigger and stronger aircraft carriers one after another! The same is true for the Navy, the same is true for the Air Force, and the same is true for the Army.
