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

Even though they had been thinking about the mysterious disappearance of the transport ship, Ye Bai and the officers quickly fell asleep and slept until dawn.

When I got up from the bed, washed up and came to the bridge, the ship-based reconnaissance aircraft sent out early to scout the pirate island had returned, and the photos taken by the high-altitude reconnaissance cameras had been developed and printed.

When Ye Bai entered the bridge, he saw several officers gathered around the chart table, looking at the developed photos one by one, and whispering to each other from time to time.

"How about it? Everyone, what did you find?"

Hearing Ye Bai's voice, everyone turned their heads and gave Ye Bai a military salute. Lütjens, who had the highest military rank, said:"Commander, through the reconnaissance plane, there are indeed some pirates on the island. No, we carefully compared the reconnaissance photos at dusk yesterday and found that there was an extra destroyer on the pier."

"One more destroyer?"

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment. Before nightfall last night, he discovered that four transport ships had disappeared on the island. Now at dawn, there was an additional destroyer. What the hell is going on?

Ye Bai felt that he was one of the top two. When he was older, he asked with some uncertainty:"Did this extra destroyer"197" arrive from other places yesterday evening?"

Lütjens shrugged his shoulders and said softly:"I'm sorry, Commander, we can't give an answer to this question. After all, we did not continue to monitor the pirate island yesterday evening, so no one knows about this ship. The destroyer came out of nowhere."

Well, the mysterious disappearance of the 4th transport ship has not been clarified yet. Now there is another destroyer that appears mysteriously. This is making things worse.

Fortunately, this is not a world of solving crimes. There is no need to find out. The most important thing at the moment is It was better to immediately launch an attack on the pirate island, destroy the pirate fleet, and capture the pirate island. Although there was an extra destroyer inexplicably, there was no earth-shaking change in the overall strength of the pirates, and the difficulty of the attack was not considered. Big.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Bai said resolutely:"Okay, no matter where this destroyer came from for now, we will continue to implement the original plan and send out attack aircraft groups to bomb the pirate fleet."

Ye Bai made the final decision and set the tone. Naturally, others had nothing to say. Before nightfall last night, under the command of Lütjens, the fleet had already arrived at a position about 100 kilometers away from the pirate island.

This Although the distance is indeed very close, there are a large number of reconnaissance aircraft scattered around. If there is any unexpected situation, these reconnaissance aircraft can also issue early warning, giving the fleet enough buffer time. The most important thing is that through detailed reconnaissance, in The pirates did not discover the existence of fighter planes. This means that the fleet does not need to worry about encountering air interceptions and air attacks by pirates at all, and the worry of closing the distance is alleviated a lot. Speaking of which,

Ye Bai felt a little regretful. Yes, just because of this matter yesterday, Ramsay and Lütjens had been opposing their attack plan. As a result, today, they still implemented Ye Bai's original plan. Isn't this a waste of time.

If they had launched an attack on the pirate island yesterday afternoon, they might have been able to figure out why they were so confused about the mysterious disappearance of four transport ships and the sudden appearance of a destroyer. As soon as the attack order was issued, they were installed on the aircraft. The teleportation platform in the library finally came into use. For the first time, 20 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft were teleported to the deck. They were responsible for reconnaissance of the surrounding sea areas and monitoring of pirate islands.

While these were teleported to the flight deck When the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft on board began to take off one after another, the ground crew in the hangar pulled the Swordfish torpedo attacks that had been filled with fuel and mounted with aviation torpedoes to the transfer platform. When the flight deck was Once it is free, the transmission begins immediately.

With the instantaneous transmission capability of the transmission platform, the time consumption of pulling the carrier-based aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck is almost negligible. The only limitation is the limited number of flight runways. There is no solution for the time being, unless the direct deck of the Yanhuang is transformed into an angled deck.

These topics are far away. After all the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft took off, a squadron of Swordfish was teleported out of the hangar. The torpedo attack began to take off in an orderly manner, and in the hangar, a squadron of Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft was once again sent to the transmission platform. With the assistance of the transmission platform, the take-off efficiency of Yanhuang's carrier-based aircraft instantly improved After just a few transmissions, all the Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft of the three squadrons responsible for the first round of attacks were released.

After all 48 Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft took off, they formed a flying formation. Flying in the direction of the pirate island, while behind, the same number of Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers were still taking off one after another.

When 48 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers took off, they formed a formation and flew away. After the Yanhuang took off, it was the turn of the last batch of 32 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets from two squadrons to take off.

This take-off sequence of carrier-based aircraft is completely different from the take-off sequence of aircraft carriers in real time and space. After World War II, In China, the carrier-based aircraft take-off method of an aircraft carrier is to take off first the carrier-based fighter jets, then the carrier-based bombers, and finally the torpedo attack aircraft.

The reason why this is so is because the three types of carrier-based aircraft need to roll off when taking off. It is determined by the length of the distance, and also because the hangar area is limited, so some carrier-based aircraft need to be tethered to the flight deck.

When a carrier-based aircraft takes off, it is natural to give priority to the carrier-based fighter parked at the front of the deck with the shortest rolling distance, then the dive bomber, and finally the bulky torpedo plane.

However, the Yanhuang is different. The hangar transformed with space crystals is too large to accommodate all the carrier-based aircraft. Instead, a large part of the area is vacant, and there are no more carrier-based aircraft. Machine to fill.

In addition, replenishing fuel and ammunition on the flight deck will inevitably accumulate a large amount of fuel and ammunition on the flight deck. The safety is too low, so all the carrier-based aircraft of the Yanhuang are stored in the hangar. , anyway, with the transmission platform, it is very convenient to transport the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar to the flight deck.

That's why Ramsey formulated such a take-off sequence, with the slowest Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft starting, followed by the slightly faster Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber, and finally the fastest Fulmar carrier-based fighter-bomber fighter.

Although the three carrier-based aircraft took off separately, their flying speeds were different. When they were about to approach the pirate island, the carrier-based bombers and carrier-based fighters at the rear had already caught up with the torpedo attack aircraft that took off first. A larger bomber group was formed... (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Of course, this is also because the pirates do not have air power, so there is no need to worry about the pirates dispatching fighter jets to intercept them midway. Otherwise, Ramsay will inevitably release carrier-based fighter jets first to clear the airspace.

In the first wave of attacks, Ramsay directly dispatched one-third of the carrier-based aircraft, more than 100 of them, with the intention of completely damaging the pirate fleet in one attack.

The reason why two squadrons of Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets were dispatched was simply because it was a pirate island. Even if the pirate warships did not have very strong anti-aircraft firepower, ground anti-aircraft firepower was still possible.

The purpose of these carrier-based fighter jets is to destroy these anti-aircraft firepower and open up a relatively safe attack route for the bombers and torpedo planes behind them.

A distance of only 100 kilometers, for a carrier-based aircraft with an average speed of about 300 kilometers per hour, takes less than half an hour. However, given that there are too many carrier-based aircraft dispatched this time, it is necessary to wait for the subsequent carrier-based aircraft to take off. The attack aircraft group took nearly an hour to reach the sky above the pirate island.

The pilots of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, which had already reached the high altitude of the pirate island and kept monitoring at all times, immediately contacted the attack aircraft group and told them that so far, there had been no movement from the pirate fleet below, and their presence had not been discovered.

Since the pirates had not discovered them, there was nothing to be polite about. Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft quickly lowered their altitude, roared at low altitude, and quickly approached the dock of the pirate island. At close range, they The mounted 730KG aviation torpedo was thrown out.

Since the pirates are completely defenseless, they must first use powerful torpedo attacks. Even if the pirates have ground anti-aircraft firepower, they cannot organize effective anti-aircraft firepower in a hurry. This is the best opportunity to attack.

Those warships parked on the simple docks have not been activated in 4.6 at all, and they still lack a large number of crews. They are the best living targets, allowing the Swordfish torpedo attack nose attack to have a great effect.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Aerial torpedoes fell from the belly of the swordfish and fell into the sea. They flew at high speed under the sea with a white trail, and hit the pirate warship near the waterline. Then there was a violent explosion.

It was a torpedo attack at close range, and the hit rate was much higher than that of ship-based torpedoes. In addition, these pirate warships were stationary and parked without any evasive actions. Further, The hit rate of torpedoes was improved.

The first batch of attacking Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft consisted of 2 squadrons and 32 aircraft. A total of 32 730KG-level aviation torpedoes launched an attack on the stationary pirate fleet, leaving these without any The pirates who were half prepared were immediately stunned.

With the sound of violent explosions, the hulls of most of the pirate warships parked on the pier were blown open with huge holes. Visible to the naked eye, the hulls Many internal cabins have been destroyed, but I don’t know if any of the destroyed cabins include vital cabins, such as power cabins and electric cabins.
