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

Despite the powerful power provided by a nuclear reactor, in fact, the Yanhuang has been running out of power. Its original speed of 32 knots has dropped to about 31 knots, and may even continue to decline.

This is a nuclear power reactor, and the Yanhuang itself is just an escort aircraft carrier with a displacement of 15,000 tons. It can no longer carry it. Can you believe this?

Fortunately, there are a large number of scientists in the scientific research center. After research and testing, they gave an explanation. Because the Yanhuang is an escort aircraft carrier, its hull structure is far worse than that of a military warship and cannot withstand a too powerful power system.

And after many upgrades to the small space in the logistics cabin, especially the ecological cycle system that consumes a lot of power energy, and the transmission system also consumes a certain amount of energy every time it is used, and with so many air conditioners installed, the entire ship Electricity usage on battleships skyrocketed.

The combination of these many factors has resulted in the current situation where the Yanhuang's power system is somewhat unsustainable. According to the suggestions given by scientists, in order to solve this problem, first, the Yanhuang must be upgraded to a regular aircraft carrier. Strengthen the hull structure.

Second, it is best to obtain another nuclear power reactor to further enhance the power system. Even if it is dedicated to supplying the small space of the logistics cabin and the power of the entire battleship, this problem can be effectively solved.

After hearing the solutions given by the experts, Ye Bai almost scolded his mother on the spot. He, an undergraduate, knew these two methods and needed a group of scientists to explain them. But the problem was that he could do this kind of thing if he wanted to. Well.

It's easy to upgrade the Yanhuang. As long as you get enough escort carrier upgrade items, you can complete the upgrade instantly, but nuclear reactors are so easy to get.

According to the current level of science and technology in the world of navigation, that thing is a black technology product. Don’t say you made it yourself. Even if you want to spend money to buy it, you can’t buy it. You can only get it from system rewards through luck. God knows when. I can open another one.

The SBD carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft with a maximum flight speed of 410 kilometers is much more powerful than the previous Hawker Osprey carrier-based combat reconnaissance aircraft. It did not take long to reach the target sea area and sent back the message as soon as possible.

The fleets of both sides fighting in the sea below are not very large, with only about 20 warships in total, and most of them are destroyers. There are not even a few light cruisers, let alone heavy cruiser-level warships.

However, there were still about 20 carrier-based aircraft hovering over the battlefield, continuously carrying out low-altitude bombing, dropping aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes.

Because of the presence of pirate carrier-based aircraft and fear of being attacked by the other party, these pilots did not lower their flying altitude, but hid in the high-altitude clouds. Their observation capabilities with the naked eye were limited, and there was no airborne radar, so they could not judge the two sides. Details of the battleship

"Commander, the pirate fleet has air support from the carrier-based aircraft fleet. Although the number is small, it has a great impact on friendly forces. Do we need to immediately dispatch the carrier-based aircraft group to support the friendly fleet?"

As the aviation combat commander of Yanhuang, Ramsay immediately asked for the release of carrier-based aircraft groups to support the battlefield ahead.

Ye Bai, who was just about to agree, recalled some combat cases during World War II in his mind, and quickly changed his words:"La. Muzi, since the opponent's carrier-based aircraft did not detect our reconnaissance aircraft, can we secretly follow them and find their aircraft carrier? Ramsey was stunned for a moment, and then said:"Commander, there is no problem with this, but I'm worried that the friendly fleet won't be able to hold on for too long. If they are completely wiped out, we will have to carry a rescue team." What a bad reputation."

Ye Bai waved his hands indifferently when he heard this, and said easily:"It doesn't matter, we are just mercenaries, and we are not working for Ixin Island. We cannot obey their orders in everything. Our primary target is the pirate aircraft carrier."

"Besides, if we can successfully find the pirate aircraft carrier this time and sink it, it will be too late for Isin Island to be happy. Even if the friendly fleet is wiped out, it will be quite cost-effective in the long run."

"After all, they are just some destroyers, not even a few light cruisers. Ixinjima can bear this loss."

Actually, in his heart, Ye Bai still has one sentence that he has not said out loud, that is, the fleet that was attacked by the pirate fleet may not be the fleet of Isin Island. It could be that it is just a temporary fleet composed of player warships. Ye Bai was not willing to give up the opportunity to sink a pirate aircraft carrier for such a fleet.

Lütjens and Ramsay looked at each other and said nothing. They were just soldiers and were used to considering issues from a military perspective. Since Ye Bai has his own ideas, and there will be no loss to the fleet itself, they will naturally not object anymore.

In the silence of several people, the reconnaissance plane pilot finally sent new news. The threat was indeed great, but the bomb load was not very high. The pirates' 20 or so carrier-based aircraft quickly dropped all the aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes they carried and returned to their destinations. Perhaps it was because there were no aerial bombs. Threats, these pirate pilots did not deliberately raise the flight altitude, and their vigilance was relatively weak. It was also because they had to take care of the Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft, which only had an altitude limit of 3,000 meters. The returning pirate carrier-based aircraft group maintained an altitude of 3,000 meters. They quickly returned home at a flying altitude of about 100 meters, but they didn't even notice that behind them, at an altitude of 6,000 meters, there were several reconnaissance planes following them all the way. Perhaps it was because this battle took place relatively quickly Suddenly, or perhaps because the radar detection range equipped on the pirate warship was limited, in short, the pirate aircraft carrier was not too far away from the battlefield.

After flying for more than 40 kilometers, several reconnaissance aircraft pilots discovered the rising sea level below (abbg) The plumes of thick smoke that arose instantly refreshed the pilot's spirits and he quickly started taking pictures.

The radio operator in the back seat used a telescope to look at the sea below and contacted the Yanhuang through the radio to report the latest situation.

"Commander, the reconnaissance plane discovered the pirate aircraft carrier, about 40 kilometers away from the battlefield, the specific location is at."

As soon as the correspondent finished speaking, Ramsey continued:"Commander, according to the normal combat method of an aircraft carrier, more than 20 carrier-based aircraft can be dispatched in one wave, and the number of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft should be around 60, which is light aircraft carrier"

"However, we cannot accurately grasp the situation of pirates, nor can we rule out the possibility that the other party is just an escort aircraft carrier and dispatches all carrier-based aircraft at once."

Ye Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and said softly:"Ramsay, you are thinking too much. There are only three battleships in total, and there is only one aircraft carrier. No matter what level of aircraft carrier it is, our carrier-based air fleet is enough to cope with it.. Ramsay was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said with some embarrassment:"The commander taught me that I was overthinking, and I immediately ordered the release of the carrier-based aircraft group.""

With an order, the already prepared carrier-based aircraft used the transmission platform to teleport to the flight deck. With the help of the catapult, it quickly took off from the oblique flight deck.

This first wave of attacks The fleet consists of 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters, 32 SBD Dauntless dive bombers, and 32 TBF torpedo attack aircraft, a total of 96 carrier-based aircraft. All of them are cutting-edge carrier-based aircraft, and their performance is much better than those before. Quite a few.

This is also the reason for Ye Bai's words just now. He released nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft at once. No matter what level the pirate aircraft carrier is, even if it is a heavy aircraft carrier with as many as 100 carrier-based aircraft. , cannot withstand the attacks of so many carrier- based aircraft. As long as the air superiority over the fleet is lost, the three pirate warships can only be sent to the sea to feed the fish amid waves of dive bombing by the attack aircraft group..Dispatching so many F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets at one go is not to escort the attack fleet, but to compete with the pirate carrier-based fighter jets for air supremacy. In terms of fighter performance, the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets are naturally better than It is not as good as the later F4U Pirates and the upgraded F6F Hellcat, but it is still quite good at this time.

In addition to being a fighter, it can also be a bomber, although it can only carry two 45KG-level aviation bombs. If thrown onto an aircraft carrier, it would also be a disaster for the wooden flight deck.

With the existence of the transmission platform, the take-off sequence of the carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang has changed. The first one to take off was not the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter. , but the slower SBD Dreadnought dive bomber and TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft.

After these two carrier-based aircraft all took off, it was the turn of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter to take off in sequence, and then relied on the faster The ground speed quickly caught up with and surpassed the attack aircraft group that set off first.

The distance was less than 300 kilometers. For the carrier-based aircraft group with a minimum flying speed of 400 kilometers, it took less than an hour, or even just Within half an hour, 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets had already flown over the pirate aircraft carrier.

Previously, the 4 reconnaissance aircraft that had been tracking the pirates' returning fleet had been discovered by the air search radar equipped on the pirate warship. , and then carrier-based fighter jets were dispatched to expel it.

It's a pity that this pirate aircraft carrier is equipped with Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets, and its flying speed is only about 300 kilometers. Compared with the SBD carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, it can Slow down...
