Battle of the Third Reich

Although the problem of the landing craft has been solved, it is only one of a lot of problems in the landing operation. The landing craft alone cannot complete a large-scale cross-strait landing. During this time, the German logistics and transportation department was working hard in Europe to search for suitable large and medium-sized ships. This is the main force of the landing and transportation of the strait.

It took a lot of effort for the chiefs of operations of the headquarter base camp to make the army command combat staff understand the difference between cross-strait landings and cross-river operations, but this does not mean that the group of guys are immortal elm heads. This is a group of war enthusiasts with strict military education. They have an amazing sense of smell and comprehension in military affairs. After they touched the fresh rules of the game, they immediately abandoned the original landing plan that could be used as a joke, and came up with a new sea lion plan that made Xu Jun amazing. Its level of detail exceeded that of previous combat plans. The strict and pragmatic style in the Germans' bones is brought to the extreme.

In the Army’s new plan, large and medium-sized ships became the main force of the landing fleet. Soldiers and equipment crossed the strait center line before they began to transfer to small landing ships. Tank landing ships chose to tow across the strait. The first attack wave was at a distance. Assembled five kilometers from the coast, and then launched an onshore attack.

This is an amendment made by the army staff after fully considering the characteristics of the English Channel and studying the coast defense intelligence of the British army on the opposite side. The English Channel is a special sea area with no wind and three feet of waves. If the original plan was to let soldiers take the pile of shallow ships directly on the French coast, the German physical strength was almost overturned on the sea before reaching the British coast. After vomiting, it was dark and dark, and I knew there were a few people who rushed to the beach with strength. Choose to transfer on the Strait Center Line. Even if the distance is only shortened by half, the soldiers can retain a lot of physical strength. At least there will not be a bunch of German soldiers falling on the beach as machine gun targets.

but. The staff did not forget to keep emphasizing in the plan that if the landing operation is to succeed, it must be established on the basis that the Germans have fully mastered the strait’s sea and air control rights. At the same time, the landing force also needs to obtain the German Navy and the Air Force’s Fire support specifically pointed out that the Navy must be able to protect the security of landing routes, otherwise this plan will only be a picture, the Army kicked the ball to the Navy with a big foot.

The German Army has a profound lack of trust in the capabilities of the German Navy. To be honest, the navy is really uneasy. Even Ryder himself kept his personal views on the possibility of the Navy mastering the strait, not to mention the group of guys who had watched a German cruiser filled with army officers and soldiers sink in front of their eyes.

Although the German Navy's strength did not decline but rose in the past few months, the British Royal Navy lost its troops. But after all, the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse. The overall strength of the two sides is still not much worse. The Royal Navy still has a hard time at a critical moment. The Germans now only have an overwhelming advantage in the number of battleships, but the particularity of the strait operations has given the battleships a considerable discount in combat value. And on cruiser destroyer ships suitable for combat in the strait. The Royal Navy has an absolute upper hand over the German Navy in terms of quantity and quality.

At this time, Rydell took his staff to the headquarters of the command headquarters. One is to cope with Xu Jun's summoning at any time, and the other is to cope with the army generals' consultation at any time. The key is to avoid the crazy captains who are crying for battle.

Rydell had taken over the scenery during this time, but no one knew he could not tell the bitterness now. The pile of wealth that came from the robbery flowed away like a welded waterfall on the berth, and at this stage, only three patched British battleships were in his hands. The repair cost of the power system caused Redel to smash it. He entered most of the heavy cruisers, almost making him angina for half a month. Moreover, these British warships still lack matching ammunition, and Krupp ammunition factory has just worked out more than a dozen samples. During the test firing, I don't know if there are any sequelae.

The construction reports of several new warships have been put on the head of the head until now. It is said that the head of state has been very strategizing about this, and it is not clear what tricks are available. Anyway, no manufacturing approval has been issued yet.

The new submarine is undergoing finalization work. Rydell hasn't seen the drawings so far, but looking at the look of Dengitz who participated in the development work, he knows that the performance must be good. However, according to the order of the head of state, the production of all old submarines was stopped before the launch of the new boat type. Now along the canal line, most of the submarine berths are empty. If there are several damaged submarines being repaired, otherwise Same as the ruins.

Although the only new ship, the Bismarck, was put into service early after being hit by heavy gold, the rookies on the ship are still struggling to unhull, various new equipment is being debugged, and the gun has only been tested three times so far. It seems that the recent battle I can't count on her.

As for the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, it didn’t even peck, and the upper half of the hull was peeled off again. Now it’s lying on the berth like a burred tuna. It is said that the head of state is still drawing on the drawing. Moving around, it seems that no miracle will appear by the end of the year.

So, old Ryder counted, and he still had the old ticket. And most of them are old and weak soldiers, and most of them are scarred. Although they are removed after treatment, it takes a lot of time and energy to restore their original strength. The intact ones were all in the sea and rushed to cope with the submarine's rush to kill, and they would be repaired after returning to Hong Kong.

Moreover, although the repairs were completed, the personnel recruitment gap began to appear. Almost all the reserve personnel of the German naval surface ships were pressed up, and even the sailors of the naval tugs were transferred to supplement the first-line fleet. If it wasn't for Dennitz's posture to fight for life, Rydell was forced to use the brains of submarine students. The navy is an absolute technical arm, unlike the army who can drag a farmer into a training rifle and send it to the training ground for 18 weeks to kick it into the battlefield. The development of naval officers and soldiers is a systematic project, and the basic naval training of the navy alone is far more than 18 weeks.

This is the most depressing problem for Ryder now. If this continues, no matter how many warships are built, it can only be a pile of scrap iron.

More than the personnel crisis, the problem with the commander-in-chief of Reidel is that the command headquarters intends to allow the German navy in this state to seize control of the English Channel. This is not something that can be done. Ryder knows the strength of the British Royal Navy very well. He is not like the group of captains under his men. After a few beautiful victories, he can ignore the natural sailors on the other side.

The Army's initial landing plan almost caused him to jump up and scold the mother. That group of guys even asked the Navy to protect the maritime security of a 320-kilometre-long landing area. This is just a joke. The Royal Navy is not dead. If the Royal Navy is desperate and gathers all its power to rush into the Straits, it is simply not what the German Navy can resist.

Not to mention the fact that the British also have considerable strength in the air force. Once the British army cooperates with each other on the sea, air and shore, the final result is self-evident. Either the entire German Navy was annihilated or the landing Army was annihilated, and it is more likely that the two would die together.

No matter what kind of loss it will be, Germany will not be able to bear it. It may even bring Germany back to its original form.

So Riddle and the army staff began to reason with the facts, and had been entangled until a new plan was issued without a feasibility report. In the end, Xu Jun punched the table angrily, and Rydell found that he could no longer continue to pull the skin, and then he dared to make a serious battle plan with his staff.

The Navy’s last proposal was to reduce the landing area to within a hundred kilometers. If the Army agrees with this proposal, the entire fleet will be dispatched in full cooperation with the minefield area to defend both sides of the landing route and go all out to protect the safety of the landing route. Sex.

Xu Jun remembers that in the history of the original world, the German navy and army were also talking about each other on this same issue. The reason is simple. In the final analysis, both of them lack confidence in their abilities.

The Army lacked confidence in landing because of its lack of cross-sea landing experience, so it wanted to expand the landing area as much as possible in order to diversify the defensive strength of the British army. The Navy has no confidence in the control of the straits, so it desperately requested to reduce the landing area and protect the safety of the landing fleet with the cooperation of the minefields.

Now, the two sides have finally reached a consensus, and as expected, just like Xu Jun's original history of the world, they finally kicked the ball to the feet of the Luftwaffe.

Reidel patted his chest and said that if the Luftwaffe could take control of the strait air control, prevent the Royal Air Force from attacking the German navy, and cooperate with the navy, he had 90% assurance that the landing operation would be safe at sea and could also hold the strait supply line.

The opinion of the army is the same. If the air force can seize air supremacy, the navy can guarantee the safety of the strait. The army has absolute confidence that it has successfully landed in Britain and sent Churchill clean and sent it to Xu Jun.

The result of the Army and Navy ball game turned out to be a shot into the Air Force's goal. (To be continued,)
