All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

One after another, the developed photo papers were placed on the large chart table. Lütjens, Ramsey, and Lin Yongsheng and Huang Jianxun, who had not yet been appointed, all came over and picked up the photos one by one. Check

"Commander, it seems that these pirates are quite strong. There are 3 light cruisers alone and more than 10 destroyers. This transport fleet that was attacked will not be able to hold on for long."

Although the developed photos are far from the high-definition photos of later generations, and because of the high-altitude shooting, the effect is not very good, but in a naval battle, it is barely enough. After all, such a large warship is on the sea. , it can still be barely recognized clearly when photographed.

These people who looked at the reconnaissance photos were not simple characters. Through the somewhat blurry photos, combined with the verbal reports from the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft pilots, they were still able to analyze the situation of the warring parties individually. Almost as close as ten.

Compared with several of his subordinates, the fleet commander Ye Bai seems a bit stretched. Except for the occasional flag hanging on the mast from one or two photos, there is more content. I can't tell.

But Ye Bai didn't feel embarrassed at all about this, and asked"150" without blushing or heartbeat:"How is the strength of that transport fleet?"

Anyway, he couldn't tell, so he simply asked directly, pretending to understand. But all the people present were his subordinates, and they were all his own people. There was nothing to be ashamed of.

"This transport fleet has a total of 6 transport ships, and there are about 10 escort warships, but they are basically destroyers, and there is only one light cruiser, which is no match for the pirate fleet."

Lütjens threw the photo in his hand on the chart table and continued:"Commander, judging from the strength of the fleets of both warring parties, if there is no support, this naval battle will be over in three hours at most. , but I don’t know how many transport ships the pirate fleet can capture."

Ye Bai waved his hand casually and said nonchalantly:"It doesn't matter, our goal is not for these transport ships anyway. As long as the pirates can capture a transport ship, our goal will be achieved. If we follow these guys, we should be able to Find their lair."

This is indeed what Ye Bai really cares about. In the world of navigation, pirate forces are almost in a hostile relationship with all camps. It is not an exaggeration to say that all people are enemies. Such a force can still be in the world of navigation. To survive in the sea, you must have your own heritage.

Ye Bai has always been curious about where these pirates came from. It seems that they can encounter pirate forces casually on the vast sea. There are obviously no islands around. The existence, or the surrounding islands, are all occupied by aboriginal people.

So where do these pirate warships come from?

Where are the daily supplies and maintenance of the warships performed?

These doubts have been echoing in Ye Bai's mind. At present, the main fleet of the aboriginal forces cannot be dispatched easily, or Ye Bai cannot openly break up with these aboriginal forces. The only way to obtain aircraft carrier upgrades is to prey on these pirates.

In the past, Ye Bai's own strength was insufficient. He did not have the ability or the courage to explore the pirates' lair, so it was always unknown. But it is different now. Using the air superiority of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, he can completely follow the pirates. Behind the fleet, they found their lair.

It doesn't matter if the strength of the pirate lair is too strong. Even if it is exposed, it will only expose a few carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. The entire fleet will not be exposed. As long as they can successfully find Pirates' lair, find out the strength of the pirates' lair, and then whether to fight or flee, Ye Bai can take full initiative.

This time the fleet sets sail, Ye Bai's main goal is actually to find resource points and see if there are any opportunities. Put these external resource points into the small space of your own logistics cabin, but without coordinates, searching for resource points aimlessly is actually no different from finding a needle in a haystack. Anyway, it is just trying your luck without a target, and Unexpectedly discovering that the pirate fleet was attacking the transport fleet, Ye Bai simply changed his plan and first tried to find a way to explore the pirates' lair. It was something he had to do sooner or later.

On the way of the fleet sailing, he flew to another The pilots conducting reconnaissance in both directions also sent back reports one after another, and also discovered the situation, but compared with the fierce battle in the southeast, it was not worth mentioning. There were only a few battleships, although the reconnaissance planes were at high altitude. Flying in the air, he did not lower the altitude to confirm the identity of these warships, but Ye Bai no longer noticed it.

Instead, in the northwest direction, according to the report of the pilot of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, a naval battle also broke out, but the scale was small. , all the warships on both sides together were only 5, which could not attract Ye Bai's interest even more. The pirate fleet in front of him was even more attractive.

Lütjens felt that for this kind of frontal hard steel, the ship The judgment and analysis of the artillery-to-bombing battle were quite accurate. When the second batch of 4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft rushed to the battle waters to take over the high-altitude reconnaissance and surveillance mission of the first batch of 4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, this The naval battle that lasted for about 2 hours came to an end.

It is not known whether the warships in this escort fleet belong to the players or the aboriginals, but they were able to survive the attack by the pirates' superior fleet. They persisted until the last moment, and were eventually sunk, with no one spared.

Because the naval battle was too fierce, six transport ships of the transport fleet were also damaged. During the naval battle between the two sides,A total of 2 transport ships were sunk, and the remaining 4 transport ships also had numerous scars on their hulls. This situation seemed a bit abnormal.

After all, the purpose of pirates attacking the transport fleet is not to capture the transport ship and obtain the supplies loaded on the transport ship. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not open fire on the transport ship, otherwise their work will be in vain.

It's just a pity that neither Ye Bai nor Lütjens and others noticed this. Ye Bai is just a layman, how can he understand these principles.

Lütjens and others were serious naval professional officers. In their time, due to the strength of their own fleet, they rarely encountered pirates. Although they had a certain understanding of pirate habits, for a while I couldn't think of it in time.

Although 2 transport ships were sunk, they still gained 4 transport ships. Under the desperate resistance of the escort fleet, the pirate fleet, which also lost 4 battleships, was in high spirits and escorted the 4 transport ships away quickly. Battlefield 0........

As soon as the pirate fleet left, the high-altitude 4 Hawker Osprey carrier-based combat reconnaissance aircraft immediately followed, hanging near the pirate fleet, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

On the Yanhuang in the rear, he learned from the pilot of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft that the pirate fleet had evacuated. Ye Bai felt that his plan was about to succeed, and quickly asked Lütjens to command the fleet to follow closely. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although the main force of the fleet headed in the direction of the pirate fleet under the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft in front, the speed was not very fast and it maintained a slow speed of about 23 knots. , the reason why they followed was just because they were worried that the pirates’ lair was too far away to launch an attack.

But Ye Bai is not stupid and will not close the distance between the two sides. Although the pirate fleet lost 4 destroyers in the attack on the transport fleet, the main force is still there. All 3 light cruisers survived. It is not known what is in the opponent's lair. What kind of strength.

If the distance is too close and one's own existence is exposed, the few warships in the Chinese fleet are not enough to fight against these pirates. It is better to release a large number of carrier-based aircraft from a long distance to bombard the pirates indiscriminately.

Even if the aerial bombardment fails, Ye Bai can order the fleet to evacuate in time. Anyway, the main attack is the carrier-based aircraft flying at high speed in the air. As long as the opponent has no fighter planes, even if the fleet is dispatched to pursue, it will not be able to catch up. The safety of the fleet is No worries.

This pursuit actually lasted for nearly 3 hours, from morning to afternoon. During the pursuit, the radar system on the Yanhuang detected the presence of other warships more than once, including Blue Star player warships and hostile force warships. , but the number is not large.

Ye Bai, who was focused on following the pirate fleet, did not bother to detect these warships. As long as they did not affect the fleet's navigation, he did not bother to pay attention to them for the time being. Even in 4.9, they were aliens.Ye Bai didn't want to find out whether it was the family camp or the pirate camp.

At this moment, the 4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft still following the pirate fleet at high altitude are no longer the second batch dispatched, but the fourth batch of carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. They have just arrived over the pirate fleet and took over the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Monitoring tasks.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the pirate fleet below, according to the order, one reconnaissance aircraft was left to maintain reconnaissance and surveillance at high altitude. The remaining three carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft quickly dispersed and flew forward.

The pirate fleet has been sailing for so long without any intention of changing its course, which means that their home base should be in this direction. Moreover, the fleet has been sailing for 3 hours and should not be far from the home base.

The carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance were dispersed at this time in order to use the high speed of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to detect the situation in front of the pirate fleet in advance. If the pirates' lair could be discovered in advance, there would be no need to work so hard. It's hard to follow and monitor.

In fact, this method is quite good. I don't know if this group of pirates just came out of their lair, or if they are on their way back. In short, they are indeed not far from their lair..
