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

Now that the two professionals under his command had made their analysis and judgment, Ye Bai felt even more relieved and said viciously:"What I haven't said yet, we must destroy them resolutely and wipe them all out. The blood debt must be repaid with blood."

That's all for the pirate fleet. Although the strength is large in number and there are heavy cruisers, this is not a hard frontal artillery battle, but a long-range bombing by a carrier-based aircraft group. How about heavy cruisers? Compared with light cruisers and destroyers, they can only take on more enemies. Just a few aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes.

It was still morning, and there were nearly 10 hours until dark. In such a long time, Ye Bai didn't believe that he couldn't severely damage or even completely annihilate the pirate fleet.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ramsay said:"Commander, I suggest taking off a squadron of Fulmar fighter jets to serve as air security. After all, there is an aircraft carrier in this pirate fleet. If something goes wrong, they will send out an attack. The planes are coming to attack us."

"The air search radar equipped on the Yanhuang has an effective detection range of only 50 kilometers. Even if it is discovered, it will be too late to take off carrier-based aircraft to form an air defense system."

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted and said with some surprise:"Ramsey, it's not that bad. Those pirates didn't notice us. Is it necessary?"

"Commander, it's better to be careful. The other party's carrier-based fighter jets attacked our reconnaissance planes. Now we have three reconnaissance planes returning. If the other side sends fighter planes to follow us, it won't be too difficult to find us."

The expression on Ramsay's face was a little serious. He paused for a moment before continuing:"Although the air search radar did not find anything abnormal, we should try our best to be cautious when facing the Aircraft 130 carrier fleet. Some. Ye

Bai shrugged his shoulders and said casually:"Okay, Ramsey, you are a professional. I believe in your ability. You can make arrangements.""

"Yes, thank you Commander for your trust."

While Ye Bai and others were studying the reconnaissance photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, 64 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets were already roaring over the sea 220 kilometers away from the fleet.

Such a large number of aircraft flew quickly at high altitude , naturally cannot avoid the detection of air search radar. Although the radar system used by the pirate fleet is not as good as those of the indigenous force fleets, it is still much better than ordinary players.

Warships of the light cruiser level and above are basically equipped with anti-aircraft missiles. Sea search radars, heavy cruisers and escort aircraft carriers are even equipped with air search radars. Regardless of the effective detection range of many kilometers, at least they can detect the existence of the Fulmar carrier-based fighter group in advance. The ships previously dispatched by the Yanhuang The reason why the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft encountered a sudden attack was because of the existence of the air search radar, which exposed themselves. The pirates dispatched carrier-based fighter jets in time to successfully attack. The

Hawker Osprey carrier-based combat reconnaissance aircraft itself has excellent performance It was not outstanding, and without the assistance of shipboard radar, without the ability to detect the presence of the pirate fleet and aircraft carrier in time, it immediately suffered a big loss and almost annihilated the entire army. It was also due to the fact that the aircraft carrier in the pirate fleet was As Ramsay judged, it is an escort aircraft carrier, and it is also a basic Borg-class escort aircraft carrier. The number of carrier-based aircraft is only 28. Although the number of carrier-based aircraft is small, it is also based on ( beec) conventional equipment, which is divided into a total of 2 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, 8 carrier-based fighters, 14 carrier-based bombers and 4 carrier-based torpedo aircraft. The specific models are the same as the carrier-based aircraft equipped on the Yanhuang.

The reason It is only equipped with a mere 4 torpedo attack aircraft, but because the price of aviation torpedoes is much more expensive than aviation bombs, without its own military factory that can produce aviation torpedoes on its own, it is natural to find ways to save money.

After discovering After the eight Hawker Osprey carrier-based combat reconnaissance aircraft were launched for high-altitude reconnaissance, the pirate carrier immediately took off four Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets to conduct a sneak attack on it. The number was a little less, and finally the Yanhuang carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft was allowed to fly. Not only did they complete the reconnaissance mission, but they also managed to escape three aircraft, but failed to achieve full success.

However, these pirates did not expect that they just sneak attacked a reconnaissance aircraft squadron and actually caused big trouble for the fleet, searching for radars in the air. When a huge fleet of more than 50 aircraft was detected, the pirates went numb. The four Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets that were about to land raised their altitude again, preparing to intercept. On the flight deck, the remaining four Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets and 14 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers are also urgently replenishing fuel and ammunition, preparing to take off to intercept.

There is no way, facing a huge fleet of more than 50 aircraft, the pirates can only use With all the air defense capabilities deployed, the Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets will naturally take off, and the Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers will also need to make temporary guest appearances as fighter jets. There can be no ambiguity at this time.

Although the Pirates are not a regular fleet, they are available all year round. He had robbed at sea, and had fought against the regular fleet of the indigenous forces. Although he had no discipline, he still had the basic military quality. The harsh air defense siren sounded throughout the fleet, and all the warships started to move. The destroyers formed a circle on the outermost periphery, forming the first line of anti-aircraft firepower network, while inside there were 4 light cruisers distributed in four directions, forming the second line of defense.

At the core of the inner circle, there is a heavy cruiser protecting the escort aircraft carrier. This is the most commonly used and common ring formation in fleet air defense operations, also known as the wheel formation.

One by one, the pirates rolled and crawled into defensive positions on the battleship deck. They activated all the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleship. The muzzles of the guns and guns were pointed firmly into the air. The bullets and shells were loaded and ready to be fired at any time. Shooting in the air.

It was also thanks to the carrier-based fighter jets that took off from the aircraft carrier to launch an air interception. Otherwise, at the flying speed of the Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets, the pirate fleet would have enough time to carry out adequate air defense after receiving the air defense warning signal. Prepare.

However, the preparation time required for the pirate fleet's air defense operations was not without cost. It was paid for by the heavy losses of carrier-based aircraft.

Whether it is the Pirate Fleet or the Yanhuang, all the carrier-based fighters equipped are Fulmar carrier-based fighters. Their performance is exactly the same, and there is not much difference in the technical level of the pilots. The two sides are on the same starting line.

But the crux of the problem is that the number of carrier-based aircraft taking off from the pirate aircraft carrier is too small. Even if you include the 14 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers that came as guest fighters, the total is only 22. And the number of carrier-based aircraft that have already flown over the pirate fleet is The number of carrier-based fighter groups from the Yanhuang is a full 64, which is almost three times the number of pirate carrier-based aircraft.

When the performance of the fighter aircraft is exactly the same and the pilot skills are similar, the final result of such a huge quantitative gap is obvious.

The first unlucky ones were naturally the pirate carrier-based aircraft of the 4 sneak attack reconnaissance aircraft detachment. Facing the black and dense group of carrier-based fighter jets, they had almost no ability to resist. In the dense firepower network composed of tongues of flames, they were beaten to pieces several times. As soon as it was intercepted, the armor value of the fighter plane was instantly cleared and it fell headlong.

By the time the subsequent pirate carrier-based aircraft took off and flew into the high altitude, the huge fleet of Chinese fleets had been completely dispersed. Organized into small teams, they launched a chase and interception of the sparse pirate carrier-based aircraft.

"Da da da"、"Da da da"、""Click, click, click."

The roar of aviation machine guns resounded across the sky, and tongues of flame spurted out from the nose and wings of the fighter jets. A large number of aviation bullets formed fire whips, and tracer bullets occasionally mixed in were particularly conspicuous in the air.

Faced with such powerful firepower, the pirate pilots did not dare to be negligent. They used all their skills to control the fighter planes to fly up and down in the air, dodging the tongues of fire. However, there were too many opponents and they were able to escape. One, two, but failed to escape the third and fourth.

After taking off, many pirate carrier-based aircraft faced the pursuit and interception of several opponent fighter jets. Before even a shot was fired, they were attacked by a large number of aviation machine guns. The bullet hit and smashed the fighter planes into sieves. The unique combat rules of the great maritime world made the situation of these pirate pilots even more miserable. When the armor value of the fighter planes was not completely emptied, as long as the aircraft body was not too big, Damage, even if the fuselage is full of bullet holes, it still survives tenaciously.

Originally this was a good thing, which greatly improved the survival rate of fighters and pilots in air combat, but in today's situation, this mechanism On the contrary, these pirate pilots were tortured.

It was obvious that more than 20 bullet holes had been punched in the fuselage, and the flying attitude was not stable, and they were shaking in the air, but they were not shot down. You can imagine the dark side of the thief's heart.

How can I put this feeling? It's like Ling Chi. It's clear that the pain all over the body is unbearable, but it doesn't die. You can say it's uncomfortable or not.

Despite the special mechanism of the system, But it still couldn't solve the plight of the pirate pilots. A large number of aviation machine gun bullets whizzed through the air and jingled on the fuselage of the fighter planes.

In the Chinese fleet's carrier-based fighter group's huge numerical advantage and dense firepower network Under the blow, all the armor values ​​of the pirate carrier-based aircraft were destroyed, or their engines were disabled, and they fell from the sky with thick black smoke.

Less than 20 carrier-based aircraft could not survive at all. They didn't last long. Along with the small white flowers blooming in the air, all the pirate carrier-based aircraft that took off to intercept were shot down. Many pilots fell with the fighter planes before they had time to parachute. They shot down all The pirate carrier-based aircraft and the carrier-based aircraft group of the Chinese fleet have completely controlled the air superiority in the sea area. When the pilots who had not had enough experience learned that the subsequent bomber groups taking off were not far away, they pressed the joystick one after another. , lowered the flight altitude and launched low-altitude strafing at the pirate warship.
