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

But Ye Bai's caution was obviously wasted. At least until a large number of player warships arrived at the assembly point and formed a larger fleet, the pilots of the reconnaissance planes sent out for reconnaissance did not find anything wrong. Even more, the existence of the so-called Isinjima aircraft carrier fleet was not discovered.

The guess may have been wrong, but Ye Bai still did not relax at all. He dispatched half of the SBD carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft from the two squadrons on the Yanhuang, flying at high altitude in the surrounding waters, paying close attention to the situation in the sea below.

At the same time, 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets also took off with full fuel and ammunition, and rushed to the waters where the pirate aircraft carrier fleet was located.

Under the watchful eyes of several SBD carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft pilots, the successfully assembled player fleet, led by five heavy cruisers from Isin Island, launched an attack on the pirate aircraft carrier fleet without hesitation.

Without an aircraft carrier, the combined fleet composed of Isinjima and player warships can only close the distance and conduct a frontal artillery battle. This undoubtedly completely exposes its existence to the pirates.

It was also thanks to the fact that the commander of this pirate fleet did not send out a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to survey the surrounding waters for unknown reasons, otherwise Isinjima and the player's warship would have been discovered long ago.

The reason why Ye Bai did not dispatch a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, but let six Type VIIC submarines use the cover of night to raid from the water, get close to the pirate aircraft carrier fleet, and conduct close reconnaissance was because he was worried that he would not be able to avoid the pirates' search. Radar, thus exposing the target.

If it weren't for the joint fleet formed by Ixinjima and the players preparing to attack the pirate carrier fleet head-on, the reconnaissance plane launched by Ye Bai would not have come close to this area.

"boom"、"boom"、"480 bombardment."

The battle between the two sides entered a fierce state almost from the beginning, and a battle of nearly a hundred warships broke out in an instant.

Compared with the aerial bombing of the carrier-based aircraft group, this kind of close-range frontal artillery battle It is undoubtedly more tragic and more exciting. The chat section is already noisy at this moment.

Players who were lucky enough to participate in this naval battle kept leaving messages in it. The surge of adrenaline made them very emotional. The excitement stimulated countless players who were unable to participate in the battle. In this kind of frontal naval gunfire, the caliber of battleship naval guns played a vital role. Putting aside the aircraft carriers, the fleets of both sides combined heavy cruisers, light cruisers and even destroyers. The fleet undoubtedly has the advantage.

Therefore, in the first battle, it is obvious that the pirate fleet is at a slight disadvantage, but this gap is quite weak, and the situation may even reverse as time goes by. The reason is simple, pirates In addition to two aircraft carriers that can provide air support to the fleet at any time, the fleet also has a battlecruiser.

Although according to the development of naval warfare, battlecruisers will be completely eliminated, but in the world of great navigation , still exists. After all, the different rules of naval warfare allow battlecruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers to coexist.

8 twin 343mm 45x caliber MarkV cannons, 16 102mm 45x caliber MkVII rapid-fire cannons, 2 Equipped with a 533mm torpedo launch tube, this is the entire armament system of this pirate battlecruiser.

With such powerful firepower, looking at the entire battlefield, no battleship is its (acbg) opponent. A heavy artillery shell fell On the battleship hull, it has to bear a very heavy blow. The armor value loss of nearly a thousand points is not necessarily worse than that of a heavy aerial bomb.

In addition to its powerful firepower, although the battlecruiser has more armor than the battleship, It is much weaker, but according to the system settings, it is much stronger than its heavy cruiser, with more than 30,000 points, which is very strong.

With the special battle rules of the great maritime world, this kind of frontal artillery battle Among them, the combat effectiveness that a battlecruiser can exert is not necessarily worse than that of a real battleship.

Large-caliber shells continue to fall on the battleships of Ixinjima and the player's joint fleet, and these The guy was so blown away that he cried for his mother. If there weren't more battleships than the opponent, the combined fleet would have turned around and fled. After the battle started, a large number of carrier-based aircraft also took off from the two aircraft carriers in the pirate fleet. , preparing to launch a large-scale bombing of the warships of the combined fleet to support the battle of our own warships.

The two aircraft carriers in the pirate fleet are a light aircraft carrier and an escort aircraft carrier, with a capacity of 60 and 30 carrier-based aircraft respectively. Even if the spare carrier-based aircraft are included, the total number is only 100.

This number is quite different from that of the Yanhuang. If Ye Bai is willing to work hard, he can definitely dispatch a large number of carrier-based aircraft. Defeat the pirates' carrier-based aircraft force.

However, Ye Bai, whose mentality has changed, has no idea of ​​​​devoting his life to Ixinjima. He only sent 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets. This number is considered appropriate. After all, as everyone knows , Yanhuang is just an escort aircraft carrier, and there are not many carrier-based aircraft.

In the battle waters ahead, in addition to the player's warships, there are also five heavy cruisers belonging to Isin Island. Players who are not clear about the situation may only be happy for the support from the air carrier-based aircraft, but Those guys from Isin Island are very familiar with it.

If Ye Bai sent nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft to participate in the battle, wouldn't it expose the special characteristics of the Yanhuang? Ye Bai would not do such a stupid thing.

The 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets may seem small in number, but their performance is superior to that of the Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets. They are fully capable of seizing air superiority on the battlefield and suppressing the pirate carrier-based aircraft fleet.

The development of the battle was indeed like this. All those taking off from the two pirate aircraft carriers were bombers and torpedo planes. After all, the composition of the combined fleet was clear at a glance. There was not even an aircraft carrier, so naturally there was no need to dispatch carrier-based fighter jets.

Although several carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft were discovered on the air radar, the pirates did not pay too much attention to it. They did not believe that the other side would dispatch too many aircraft carriers. After all, there was not even a battlecruiser in the escort fleet. , it would be good to have an escort aircraft carrier.

Therefore, only 12 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets were released to guard against possible attack aircraft groups. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

When the air search radar equipped on the pirate warship found more than 30 small black dots heading towards the battlefield, the pirates did not panic. Instead, they felt a sense of Unsurprising mentality.

When these little black spots arrived on the battlefield and launched an attack immediately, the pirates on the two aircraft carriers were all stunned. The more than 30 carrier-based aircraft were all fighter jets, including a bomber and a torpedo plane. exist.

This is completely contrary to common sense. Whose aircraft carrier will be equipped with all fighter jets? This damn aircraft carrier is not a ground airport, but an aircraft carrier that focuses on long-range strikes.

Until this time, this group of pirates still believed that there was only one escort aircraft carrier, but what they never expected was that the opponent's aircraft carrier was all equipped with fighter jets. What a strange configuration this was.

No matter what these pirates think, with their advantages in quantity and performance, 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets are constantly flying in the sky, chasing the pirates' carrier-based aircraft. The 412.7mm air machine gun is like a reaper of death. , shooting down pirate carrier-based aircraft one after another.

In just 10 minutes, most of the more than 40 carrier-based aircraft that took off from the two pirate aircraft carriers were shot down. Among them, all 12 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets responsible for fighting for air supremacy were shot down. shoot down.

Although the remaining bombers and torpedo planes tried their best to dodge, they seemed so weak and powerless under the high-speed pursuit of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets. Some pirate pilots even had to move their planes in order to increase the flight speed of the fighter jets. The aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes mounted on the body were thrown out casually to reduce the weight of the fighter plane.

This air battle originally broke out over the heads of the United Fleet. Therefore, the anti-aircraft weapons equipped on the pirate warships had no way to provide fire cover for their own carrier-based aircraft. They could only watch as their own carrier-based aircraft dropped dumplings. Generally falling from the sky.

Occasionally, you can see a huge fireball suddenly explode in the sky. It was some unlucky guy who was hit by a hot bullet in the fuel tank, causing a fire and an explosion.

On the sea about 10 kilometers away from the combat airspace, two aircraft carriers in the pirate fleet were urgently refueling and replenishing ammunition for a Fulmar carrier-based fighter jet. Their support was still needed in the air battle.

In order to save time, the refueling and bombing processes were completed directly on the flight deck. Fortunately, Ye Bai did not send bombers and torpedo planes to attack. Otherwise, if a bomb fell on the flight deck, it would easily cause damage to the flight deck. The explosion of accumulated fuel and ammunition is a tragedy.

However, by the time the remaining nearly 30 Fulmar fighter jets on the two pirate aircraft carriers were all ready for combat, and after taking off, the first batch of carrier-based fighter jets released had all been shot down, and all those flying in the sky were Pussycat.

Helplessly, under the strict orders of the pirate fleet commander, these nearly 30 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets had no choice but to rush forward even though they knew that these carrier-based fighter jets that they had never seen before were quite powerful.

Without air superiority, the remaining bombers and torpedo planes on the two aircraft carriers did not dare to attack at all, and they were unable to provide air support to their own fleet. The two aircraft carriers were equivalent to being completely scrapped and lost their combat effectiveness.

How can we win this naval battle when the number of battleships is inferior to that of the other side? Although our own fleet has a powerful battlecruiser, the other side has more heavy cruisers and light cruisers than our own..
