Chapter 1124: Dilemma (1/2)
In the evening, the results of the daytime bombing had been compiled into documents and sent to the Vienna Palace.
Of course, due to the conditions on the battlefield, it is impossible to accurately count the enemy's losses. This report will definitely differ from the actual situation.
The error is only a small problem, the key is that the air raid was successful. Looking at the battle report in his hand, Franz very suspected that the senior British military were all Shinra spies.
Air defense is a joke. This is no longer a problem of loopholes, but rather like deliberately opening the door to let the Shenra Air Force enter.
London is a little better, although air strikes were not detected in advance, the anti-aircraft firepower still exists. If it weren't for too much fog, chances are he could really get a lot of results.
It was embarrassing in other places. The Shenluo Air Force made an air raid on Liverpool. There were so many towns and cities that it passed along the way, and it was impossible to see where the air defense artillery was.
Of course, it is also possible that the defenders below are timid, afraid of angering the enemy and burning themselves, so they simply pretend not to see it.
It's fine if you don't open fire. Anyway, I send an emergency telegram to my colleagues to remind everyone to be prepared.
There is no guarantee, at least the Royal Navy can go to sea in advance. As long as the large fleet is not assembled, there is no need for overhead threats.
There is no problem with drawing aircraft from all over the country to participate in the war. Anyway, Britain is only a small place and is fighting on the mainland, so there is no need to consider the issue of returning.
However, after participating in the war and returning to the war, no matter how you say, you have to wait for the main force to complete the assembly before entering the battlefield!
Blindly in a hurry, the one who arrives on the battlefield first joins the war, this is really not what ordinary people can think of.
Since it was a head-off tactic, the results were naturally amazing. If it hadn't taken advantage of the rotation of the Shenluo Air Force to passively complete the assembly, I am afraid that the British Air Force would have been defeated.
Although it has not been defeated now, it is necessary to suffer heavy losses. The number of enemy planes shot down is as high as 376, and the number of injured is countless.
The air combat achieved a brilliant victory, and the bombing also achieved good results. The port of Liverpool, the British military center, was severely beaten, leaving the sunken warship aside, the key is the destruction of the shipyard.
The dock can be rebuilt, the equipment can be repurchased, but the loss of engineers and skilled workers is permanent.
The average life expectancy of this year is less than 50, and there is no retirement at all. Naturally, rehiring does not exist.
Of course, the British have a big business and a talent pool. It's a big deal to dig people from other small yards, but warship building and merchant shipbuilding are different, and the running-in period is definitely indispensable.
It takes time to repair the shipyard, and time to train the skilled workers. It takes no one or two years to add all together, so don't even think about it.
It's not that it can't be fast. If competitors are willing to help, the progress can still be improved. Only this possibility is about as high as the probability of human beings entering the Datong society.
Of course, today’s bombing is not safe, and it is best for the Air Force to continue patronizing for a few days to consolidate the hard-won results.
In contrast, the bombing of London is very Buddhist. There is no strategic goal, the feeling of fighting bombers.
The thick fog covered the sky and the ground, and it was impossible to see the ground clearly. The statistics of the results can only be done by the British government.
Compared with the brilliant results, Franz is more satisfied with the loss. During the day's operations, the Shenluo Air Force paid a total of 27 fighter planes falling and 79 fighter planes damaged to varying degrees.
Among the crashed fighters, except for the 3 bombers, the rest were fighters, and 5 of them were the lunch boxes on the way back.
This exchange ratio can be said to be a miracle in military history. The only regret is that miracles are not common. After such a big loss, the British will definitely learn their lesson and cannot expect the enemy to be stupid all the time.
”The Air Force's performance is good, and we will continue to work hard. However, the bombing battlefield needs to be expanded. All cities within the air force's coverage are the targets of bombing.
The bombing of London was changed to a feint, taking advantage of the fact that the British did not recover, as much as possible to trap the effective forces of the British Air Force and cover the bombing of other areas. ”
I have to admit that London is a good place. Although the ground target cannot be locked due to the smog, the enemy's ground air defense firepower is also abolished by the smog.
This means that the Shenluo Air Force on the Labor Division's expedition can fight fairly with the British Air Force on the mainland.
If you don't take advantage of the current opportunity to kill the British Air Force as much as possible, once the winter is over, this good day will be over.
To put it bluntly, he is still taking advantage of the British arrogance. The people cannot tolerate the Shenluo Air Force running wild on their heads, but the government does not act.
As long as the British Air Force is disabled, the next battle will be easier. The German three empires all dared to play the ”Sea Lion Project”, and the more superior Shinra could also follow suit.
In the original time and space, the British Air Force was able to attack weakly, but it does not mean that it can also be used now. You know, these American aunts are still playing in the mud and do not have the ability to transfusion at all.
Now that the main force of the British Air Force has been attracted to London, bombing other areas is simple. Although London is the core of the British Isles and other regions are scraps, Franz doesn't dislike it at all.
If it were not for the Air Force’s inability to cover the entire British Isles, Franz would definitely order the bombs to be dropped in every city.
Do not seek to kill the enemy, only to scare people.
As long as the people in Britain are upset, the next battle will be easy. Now the air force cannot cover the entire British Isles, but it is not a problem to cover half of the cities.
As long as you secretly guide, so many citizens of the city have rioted together and asked the London government to organize air defenses, then it will be fun to see.
Air Secretary Conrad said embarrassingly: ”Your Majesty, there is no problem in continuing to bomb the British Isles, but if you want to trap the main British Air Force, it may be difficult.
In the daytime battle, we have already hit the British Air Force hard. According to the information collected on the front lines and the previous intelligence comparison, the British Air Force has lost a quarter of its fighters, and perhaps less than half of its fighters will be able to continue on the battlefield tomorrow.
Having suffered such a big loss today, the British will certainly learn from experience and lessons, and they will not make the same mistake a second time.
If the British studied carefully, they would find that our bombing had little impact on London, on the contrary, the damage caused by air combat was even greater.
After calming down, I am afraid that the British Air Force will directly admit counsel. Even if the people exert pressure, they will only engage in symbolic resistance.
Then, calm down and slowly accumulate strength, waiting for the opportunity. ”
No matter how good the plan is, the enemy must be willing to cooperate. Fighting too hard during the day directly hurt the British Air Force.
If the British Air Force does not learn from the lesson and continue to choose to go head-to-head with the Shenluo Air Force, I am afraid it will not be long before even the establishment will be defeated.
After a little thought, Franz said coldly: ”Then find a way to continue to stimulate them. The pride of the British cannot be exhausted in one failure.
It really didn't work, so I threw leaflets to the British Isles and let the British people make decisions for them.
