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

If one of the main turrets was removed, the destroyer's firepower would be weakened during the frontal artillery battle. Ye Bai still hesitated whether it was worth it. After all, he had not encountered a submarine so far.

This is not to say that there are no submarines among the aboriginal forces or pirate forces, but he has not encountered them. After all, the attack capabilities of submarines that use torpedoes as their main attack weapons are indeed powerful, but their speed is a big problem.

Take the VIIC submarine that Ye Bai just obtained as an example. The maximum speed on the surface is only 18 knots, and the maximum underwater speed is even lower, only about 8 knots. Such speed is too slow. If it weren't for hiding underwater and being elusive, I'm afraid. All will be eliminated.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Bai finally canceled this plan. Rather than dismantling a main turret, it would be better to wait for the engineers and experts at the shipyard to thoroughly study the construction drawings of the Benson-class destroyer and determine a transformation plan to replace the upper part of the battleship. The building was slightly adjusted to free up some space at the stern of the ship for the installation of depth charge ejector.

With the construction drawings of the more advanced Fletcher-class destroyers in hand, it seems that this problem should not be difficult for the experts. What's more, if it really can't be solved, there will be help from the scientists at the scientific research center.

After spending so much money to get the scientific research center up and running, they are not going to have to work for free.

However, as a Fletcher-class destroyer, the Changning can be modified. Anyway, it has enough hull length to be modified according to the depth charge ejector.

Just do what you think of, and use the system panel that has not yet been closed to perform some operations on the battleship modification interface. Two depth bomb delivery tracks and 6 K-type depth bomb launchers are placed in place, which can launch depth bombs up to 160 meters. In addition, it carried a total of 56 depth charges.

With anti-submarine weapons, detection equipment that can detect submarines is naturally indispensable. C-sonar detection was installed on the Changning, which transformed the Changning into an extremely powerful anti-submarine capability. It would be very difficult to encounter a submarine if it really happened. It is difficult to avoid the Changning's detection.

As for the Benson-class destroyer, which is destined to be eliminated sooner or later, Ye Bai is not ready to modify it for the time being, and it will remain unchanged. Anyway, before the system mall changes again, it can be modified at any time through the power of the system. , there is no need to rush.

Ye Bai was busy working, and others were not idle either. In the small space of the logistics cabin, Lin Yongsheng and Huang Jianxun had already boarded the Jiutai and Zhenan with their respective subordinates, and had already been initially familiar with the performance and performance of the battleships. Each subsystem then activated the warship, transmitted it to the outside world through the transmission platform on the sea, and joined the formation sailing.

With the addition of these two battleships, the strength of the entire Chinese fleet has instantly increased. In addition to the flagship Yanhuang, it also has 2 light cruisers and 4 destroyers. There is also a Zhiyuan that continues to undergo transformation. When the transformation is complete , the number of destroyers in the fleet will reach 5.

Such a powerful fleet belongs to Ye Bai alone. It can be said that it has surpassed all players. Even those players who have also obtained fleet orders and formed a formal fleet recognized by the system will not be Ye Bai's opponent.

Unless a large number of players formed a huge fleet to besiege him, but in that case, with the long-distance reconnaissance of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, Ye Bai could detect the movements of the players in advance and quickly avoid them.

With the small space of the logistics cabin as a preliminary logistics base, Ye Bai does not need to dock on any island to obtain corresponding supplies. On the vast sea, it is simply a dream to find the Chinese fleet.

While the fleet is sailing, the pilots of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft responsible for reconnaissance of the surrounding waters will report the discovered targets to the Yanhuang from time to time through the airborne radio. However, most of them are player warships in twos and threes. Not to mention the small number, they are basically blue. Star camp players.

This situation is naturally not worthy of Ye Bai's attention. Occasionally, alien player's warships and a small number of pirate warships have been discovered. For such hostile forces, if the distance is too far, it is fine. If the distance is closer, Ye Bai will Let his light cruisers and destroyers take the initiative to attack.

For such a small number of warships, there is no need to dispatch carrier-based aircraft groups for long-range bombing. It is better for cruisers and destroyers to practice their skills. The rules of the system have changed. Although the officers and crew recruited by players from the system have different levels of ability, It is not static. With continuous fighting and sea navigation, the ability will also be improved.

Although Ye Bai has always been very lucky when recruiting personnel, and the ability levels of most of the crew members he recruits are not low, he will not refuse if he can continue to improve his abilities.

Now that the fleet has expanded in size and strength, the two or three scattered enemy warships do not need to be dispatched at all. Some warships can be dispatched, and troops can be trained along the way.

The most important thing is that the system rules have not changed yet. Warships damaged in naval battles can still be repaired by purchasing repair materials from the system mall and then being repaired by warship maintenance personnel. The price is not expensive.

But Ye Bai knows in his heart that as time goes by, the rules on battleship maintenance will change sooner or later. By that time, once the battleship is damaged and it wants to be repaired, it cannot be done by the maintenance personnel on the battleship, and all The time and money required are not as small as they are now.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he can train his light cruisers and destroyers to further improve the capabilities of the fleet officers and soldiers and their cooperation, which can save a lot of money.

I don’t know if other players have realized this. Before the system rules are changed again, it is already a benefit given by the system. If you don’t seize this opportunity, there will be times when these players will regret it.

The captain of the light cruiser Dongyang is Lieutenant Colonel Lin Lvzhong, and the captain of the light cruiser Jiutai, which has just joined the fleet, is Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yongsheng. Whenever an attack is needed, Lin Yongsheng commands the Jiutai and several destroyers. Lin Yongsheng serves as the formation commander.

As the size of the fleet expands, Ye Bai already has an idea in his mind, which is to divide the warships in the fleet into different formations. For example, after the transformation of the Zhiyuan is completed, the number of destroyers in the fleet will reach 5. Once completed, Form a destroyer formation.

As for the candidate for the formation commander, Ye Bai has already considered it. Lieutenant Colonel Deng Shichang is the best choice. The dignified naval lieutenant colonel can only command one destroyer, which is already a bit wronged for him. The position of a formation commander is considered What was given to him made up for it.

The number of light cruisers is currently only 2, which seems to be a little less. Ye Bai plans not to set up a formation for the time being, but will be directly under the command of Lütjens. Depending on the development of the war, he can join the destroyer formation at any time to enhance the strength of the destroyer formation. Normally, he would stay with Yanhuang and act as a guard with a sword.

After three consecutive sorties, they sank a total of 8 alien player warships and pirate warships. While they once again harvested several dropped treasure chests, the officers and soldiers of the newly joined fleet Jiutai and Zhenan have become more tacit understanding. , having experienced actual combat, they are more familiar with the performance of battleships.

Before the transformation of the Zhiyuan was completed, the candidates to serve as commanders of the attack formation were Lin Yongsheng and Lin Luzhong. Anyway, whoever led the attack team would be the formation commander.

This was another test that Ye Bai put to the two of them, which was to test their fleet command abilities through actual combat. As for the examiner, it was naturally Rear Admiral Lütjens, who was also his strong point anyway. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After three actual combat tests, Lütjens found that Lin Yongsheng and Lin Lvzhong both had the same military rank as lieutenant colonels, and their fleet command abilities were also similar, which actually caused Ye Bai to fall into trouble.

If the size of the light cruiser is expanded in the future and a light cruiser formation is formed, I really don’t know who to appoint as the formation commander. After all, both of them have similar abilities.

As the last sortie fleet returned home, the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft that had completed their reconnaissance missions landed on the flight deck of the Yanhuang one after another in the sky, and the day passed like this.

At night, the entire fleet was still moored on the sea as usual, keeping lights on and reducing its presence as much as possible.

The Yanhuang is located in the center, and the two light cruisers Dongyang (hao Zhao) and Jiutai are distributed on both sides of the Yanhuang for close protection, while the existing four destroyers are docked in the outer circle to form the first A line of defense firmly protected the Yanhuang, which had lost all combat capabilities.

While resting at night, Ye Bai contacted Wu Yichun again and wanted to ask him if his player organization had discovered the existence of resource points. After all, although it could rely on a large number of carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to conduct long-distance reconnaissance, but compared to the player organization with the assistance of a large number of players, Ye Bai is still far behind in finding resource points.

In the previous [Yellow Sea Battle] dungeon space, because of Ye Bai's help, Wu Yichun upgraded his ship to the level of a light cruiser and became the first-series master among the player group. Naturally, he was more valued by the top management of his organization..

Wu Yichun's status in the player organization has been improved again. Although he still cannot enter the core decision-making level of the organization, the channels for obtaining information are much wider. Moreover, this guy knows Ye Bai's purpose of letting him stay in the player organization, and he can draw inferences from one example to other cases. , using his identity to establish relationships with player organizations in other Z countries and even other Blue Star countries.

Although this not very close relationship could not allow Wu Yichun to find out the secret information and intelligence of the player organization, some general information could still be collected..
