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

The reason why the Changning was soaring all the way was to rush to the battle area as soon as possible. Although it successfully wiped out an entire pirate fleet this time, during the first wave of attacks, the attacking carrier-based aircraft group appeared. of loss.

Regardless of the damage to the fighter planes and the carrier-based aircraft that successfully returned and landed on the Yanhuang, during the fierce battle, more than 10 carrier-based aircraft were shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the pirate fleet. Fortunately, most of the carrier-based aircraft pilots They all successfully parachuted out and were now floating on the sea wearing life jackets, waiting for rescue.

Almost all of the carrier-based aircraft currently equipped by the Yanhuang have more than two crew members. In addition, there are a total of 30 pilots who parachuted from the five downed Hawker Osprey carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft that were attacked by pirates before. Many pilots are struggling to survive in the sea.

These pilots are all treasures. No matter what their current flying skills are, after experiencing a lot of actual combat, the abilities of these pilots will improve. Naturally, Ye Bai will not give up on them easily.

What's more, Ye Bai is the commander of the fleet, and these pilots are his subordinates, fighting bloody battles for him. If this is not saved, the morale of the military will inevitably plummet, and even their loyalty will decline.

Besides, the battle is over now. The victorious Chinese fleet can calmly rescue these pilots who parachuted to escape. However, the distance is too far. It will take more than 4 hours for the fleet to rush over. I don’t know if those pilots can rescue them. Unable to hold on, they had no choice but to let the Changning, the fastest ship, rush over first.

As the fleet was sailing at high speed to rescue the pilots in the battle waters, Ye Bai couldn't help lamenting that it would be great if there were seaplanes at this time. Although this thing is not as good as the carrier-based aircraft and cannot participate in the battle, it can be used to rescue parachute jumpers. The escaping pilot is the most suitable.

Even if the flying speed of seaplanes is not even a little worse than that of carrier-based aircraft, it is at least much faster than warships sailing on the sea. With seaplanes, there is no need for the fleet to sail more than 200 kilometers and stay in place. Just wait, it's convenient and saves time.

But no matter what, it's not impossible. All the Yanhuang's equipment are carrier-based aircraft used for combat. There are no seaplanes at all. There are seaplanes for sale in the system mall. Let's not mention the performance for the moment. The key is the current Ye Ye Bai doesn't have the right to purchase at all.

The seaplane icons sold in the system mall are simply black, and you can’t buy them even if you have money, which is very embarrassing.

Ye Bai himself had also speculated that he might not be able to unlock the purchase rights for seaplanes. According to the configuration, the light cruiser can be equipped with seaplanes. However, whether it was when the Yanhuang was upgraded before, or it was rewarded by the system later. , even the light cruisers sold in the system mall are all Linxian-class light cruisers.

This light cruiser built in the 1930s is a treaty-type light cruiser. It does not have the configuration of a seaplane at all. Naturally, the system store will not unlock the purchase permission for a seaplane.

Now if you want to get a seaplane, you can only unlock the purchase permission in the system mall by getting a heavy cruiser, but this plan obviously doesn't work. Ye Bai has a sufficient number of light cruiser upgrade props in his hand, but in the system Under the restrictions of the rules, there is simply no way to upgrade the fleet's light cruisers to heavy cruisers.

You cannot upgrade a heavy cruiser on your own, and the uncertain solution of obtaining system rewards by opening the box is not safe. The only way to quickly obtain a heavy cruiser is to purchase it from the system mall.

But it's a pity that Ye Bai specifically checked the system mall and found that the price of a heavy cruiser was as high as 60 million. This was too expensive. At least Ye Bai didn't have that much money in his hands now.

He had done some tricks before and only had about 50 million in funds in his hand. This time he wiped out a pirate fleet and obtained a lot of dropped treasure boxes. Ye Bai has not opened these treasure boxes yet. , he doesn’t know how big the final gain will be.

But even if he could get a lot of funds to buy a heavy cruiser from the system mall, he would not be able to spend almost all of the funds on it.

After all, the current Chinese fleet can barely be regarded as an aircraft carrier fleet. With the escort aircraft carrier Yanhuang as the core of the operation, long-range strikes are the main means of attack. Under normal circumstances, there will be no direct frontal fleet artillery battle.

In this kind of combat method, having an extra heavy cruiser is actually not of much use. If the money in his hand is too much, Ye Bai does not mind adding sword guards to the Yanhuang, but in terms of funds, In limited circumstances, it is not necessary.

What's more, the most fundamental purpose of getting a heavy cruiser is just to unlock the purchase rights for seaplanes, so it is not worth paying such a high price.

So Ye Bai finally put aside this idea temporarily and wanted to see if there were other opportunities to obtain a seaplane. Of course, he did not forget to start research on the scientific research center that had begun to operate successfully.

Without any aircraft manufacturing drawings or even technical information in hand, Ye Bai himself had no idea whether such research would be useful, but that was all he had for now. He couldn't let the scientific research center remain idle. It’s about making technological reserves.

The entire Chinese fleet was racing wildly on the sea, and Ramsay did not forget Ye Bai's previous order, and once again sent out a lot of carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to continue to strengthen the reconnaissance of the surrounding sea areas, especially the sea area where the pirate fleet appeared.

According to the analysis and speculation of Lütjens and Ramsey, the pirate fleet that was annihilated by them should not be the pirate fleet that was discovered yesterday and had a battle with the aboriginal fleet.

Although there are also heavy cruisers, there were no aircraft carriers participating in the battle yesterday. Otherwise, yesterday's reconnaissance aircraft team may not be able to come back. What's more, all the warships in today's pirate fleet are intact. There is no trace of the state after a fierce battle.

In other words, the naval battle caused by the sneak attack on the reconnaissance aircraft team was most likely an accidental collision, and it was not the target they were looking for before.

Since this pirate fleet is not the target they are looking for, it means that the two fleets that had a fierce battle yesterday must still be in this sea area, unless the two fleets died together in yesterday's battle.

This possibility can be said to be very slim. After coming to this conclusion, Ye Bai and Ramsey were very concerned. They seized the time and sent out a large number of reconnaissance planes to find these two fleets.

With the Changning's top speed of 36 knots, it only took more than three hours to sail 220 kilometers. Therefore, in the afternoon, the Changning successfully arrived at the battle waters and successfully rescued all the pilots who had parachuted to escape.

These pilots were able to float on the sea for so long with only a set of life jackets, not because they were lucky or lucky, but because they came from the special rules of the world of navigation.

In the world of navigation, due to the special rules of naval battles, manyFangdu is different from the real world. In naval battles, the sinking of a battleship often takes a large number of crew members with it. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

For players who have not obtained the fleet order and successfully formed a fleet recognized by the system, it may not matter, because the ship was sunk and the players themselves died. They no longer care whether the crew members on board are dead or alive.

But for a player like Ye Bai, who has used fleet orders to form a fleet and has multiple battleships under his command, the sinking of one battleship is not a small loss, and it requires a whole ship of hundreds of crew members. , the loss is even greater.

Therefore, under the special rules of the system, if a battleship is sunk during a naval battle, the crew will not be wiped out. After the battle is over, the winning side will receive a 5-hour system protection period. During this period During the protection period, neither the crew nor the pilot will die unless they are not rescued in time.

But this kind of treatment is only for the side that wins the battle. The losing side will be miserable, and they can only lose their people and their ships.

(PS: The author suddenly discovered a big problem. In the previous naval battle, he did not notice the situation of these crew members at all. It was as if the battleship was sunk and the crew members on the ship were also buried in the sea. Somewhat inappropriate. Therefore, I specially added the relevant settings here)

The Changning successfully rescued the pilot who had parachuted out to escape, and then turned around to join the main force of the fleet at (Nord Zhao) without getting any more information from the reconnaissance aircraft pilot. Under the circumstances, Lütjens could only command the fleet to wander aimlessly on the sea.

The original plan to rush all the way to the edge and continue to explore the navigation map of the Great Navigation World was temporarily put aside because of this unexpected incident. First, we should clarify the situation in the surrounding sea areas, especially the aboriginal fleet and the That pirate fleet.

What's more, in less than 3 hours, it will be completely dark, and there is no need to continue sailing. While cruising around, waiting for the reconnaissance report of the reconnaissance aircraft unit released.

There was no new situation report for a long time, so Ye Bai simply stopped waiting stupidly, left the bridge, returned to his captain's room, showered and changed clothes, then returned to the bridge, and reported to everyone in accordance with the normal procedures. After Fang Shen Shen prayed once, he began the unboxing process that he loved to see.

The pirate fleet had a total of 20 warships. After they were all sunk, there were 20 more treasure boxes with different colors of light in the bridge. Among them, the colors of the treasure boxes dropped after the heavy cruiser and escort aircraft carrier sank were the most colorful. Gorgeous.

The golden light fully illustrates the level of these two dropped treasure boxes. Although they are not diamond-level dropped treasure boxes, the gold boxes are also a good harvest for Kai..
