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

When he saw those little red dots, Ye Bai suddenly remembered that many battleships during World War II were equipped with radars, and they were different from the radars used on player battleships today.

It looks a bit crude, and is even prone to mechanical failures, but its detection capabilities are still good. Large warships within 4 or 50 kilometers and large fleet targets more than 100 kilometers can be discovered.

Now the distance between this transport fleet and the Chinese fleet is less than 50 kilometers. It is normal for it to be detected by the other party's radar. However, the other party's radar obviously does not have a radar imaging system and no identification of friend or foe. This Only then did they choose to fly carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft for aerial reconnaissance.

"Release the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets to shoot them down, and at the same time release the carrier-based aircraft group of the first attack wave, and the fleet is ready for artillery battle."

The situation in front of him is not complicated, and the size and strength of the opponent's escort fleet are clearly visible under the detection of the radar system. If Ye Bai doesn't know what to do, then all Ye Bai's study during this period will be in vain.

"Yes, Commander."

Ye Bai's order did not have any problems in the general direction. Lütjens and Ramsay agreed and went to convey the order.

Each rack in the hangar was filled with fuel in advance. The F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jet with ammunition was pushed to the transmission platform by the ground crew, and then instantly teleported to the flight deck through the transmission platform. With the help of the catapult, the

4F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jet easily slid across the flight deck. Flying into the air, the whole process only took a short 3 minutes. In less than 1 minute, another 4F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jet took off from the Yanhuang and merged with the previous 4 little Wildcats.

When the three carrier-based aircraft detected by the radar arrived over the fleet, they were greeted by a total of 16 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets. When the Little Wildcat pilots saw each other appearing, they didn't even say hello. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he rushed forward and pressed the shooting button.

As tongues of flames spewed out, the wings of two of the carrier-based aircraft were broken on the spot. Before the pilots could react, the fighter planes had already lost control. , fell headlong into the sea.

The pilot of the last remaining carrier-based aircraft was obviously frightened by the powerful firepower of this large number of carrier-based fighters. The pilot who was lucky enough to escape did not dare to fight back at all. In the air As soon as they turned, they were ready to escape.

Unfortunately, the Wildcat pilots would not let this guy go easily. They turned the plane's nose and pressed the shooting button again. A string of 12.7mm bullets were fired from the four aircraft machine guns. It sprayed out from the mouth, covering the carrier-based aircraft that had not escaped with bullet holes, and followed the footsteps of the two previous companions with a staggering and thick black smoke.

"Commander, the opponent's carrier-based aircraft should be the F2A Buffalo carrier-based fighter. Its maximum flight speed exceeds 500 kilometers. It is equipped with a 412.7mm diameter aviation machine gun. Although its performance is not as good as our F4F Wildcat, it is worse than the tube nose we equipped before. The Yan carrier-based fighter jets are stronger, and the equipment of this escort fleet is pretty good.

"

Ramsay, who was holding a telescope and watching the air battle in the sky through the glass of the bridge porthole, said without looking back, as a naval colonel who is good at aviation command, his research on carrier-based aircraft is quite good, not to mention the itself. It's the carrier-based aircraft of his original country.

"F2A Niu carrier-based fighter?"

I didn't wonder why Ramsey would recognize a carrier-based aircraft that had never appeared in the world of navigation. Anyway, too many abnormal things happened, and Ye Bai didn't have much time to think about them one by one. Figure it out.

Just through the type of this carrier-based aircraft, Ye Bai instantly understood where this transport fleet came from. Who else could it be except that free country that made a lot of war fortune and used the world war to become the number one rogue power?.

The F2A Niu carrier-based fighter was this country's main carrier-based aircraft in the early days of World War II. However, it was beaten to pieces by the Little Devil's Zero carrier-based fighter jets, and it even became known as"the most important carrier-based aircraft in World War II.""Bad fighter" reputation.

Although the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter and the F2F Buffalo carrier-based fighter are products competing on the same stage, they have a numerical advantage and caught the opponent off guard. Finally, they slaughtered the cow easily. The sky This air battle was quite short. The three F2A Buffalo carrier-based fighters that flew in to conduct aerial reconnaissance were shot down without firing a shot under the siege of 16 Little Wildcats.

On the flight deck of the Yanhuang, There are still F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets constantly taking off. For this system activity, Ye Bai has prepared the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar in advance and has completed refueling and loading bombs. Work.

There is no need to waste time making any preparations for combat. You only need to pass through the teleportation platform and take off into the air. The efficiency is frightening.

After the number of F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters in the air reached 64, there was no need to launch the ship again. Instead of carrying fighter jets, it was the turn of the SBD Fearless dive bombers to take off, and then there were TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft waiting to attack. All the

SBD Fearless dive bombers that did not wait for the follow-up takeoff took off, and the 64F4F Wildcat carrier-based aircraft directly As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he flew in the direction of the transport fleet.

The distance of less than 50 kilometers was too close, and there was an aircraft carrier in the transport fleet. Naturally, these little wild cats had to take the first step and arrive at the transport fleet in advance. Above the fleet, they seized air supremacy and opened up attack routes for subsequent attack aircraft groups.

Naturally, the ones who took one step ahead of these little wildcats flying in the sky were the battleships below. Under the personal command of Lütjens, the two The heavy cruiser, 3 light cruisers and 6 destroyers turned around and rushed towards the transport fleet at a super high speed of 32 knots.

This was not Ye Bai's order, but Lütjens's decision, so close distance, and there are a large number of carrier-based aircraft in the air to provide fire support. It is completely normal to use fleet artillery at close range. Maybe after sinking the escort fleet, the transport fleet of 20 ships can be defeated. All prisoners were brought over.

What's more, the flight speed of carrier-based aircraft is much faster than the speed of battleships sailing on the sea. After experiencing successive bombings by the attack aircraft group, by the time the surface ships arrive at the battlefield, I am afraid that the escort fleet has already reached seven It was all over, and it was time to clean up the mess.

Therefore, Ye Bai did not stop Lütjens' order. He could make decisions in the general direction, but the specific tactical implementation still had to be left to Lütjens and Ramsay. Although he was a professional, after dispatching this fleet, Yanhuang only had 1 light cruiser and 2 destroyers as escorts, which seemed a bit weak.

When three F2A Niu carrier-based fighter jets that came for reconnaissance were shot down, although the Buffalo pilots were unable to report the situation to the rear aircraft carrier due to lack of reaction, the radar's detection capabilities were not limited. I knew I had encountered an enemy fleet. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

A shrill battle alarm sounded throughout the entire transport fleet. 12 escort warships instantly moved forward to form an air defense formation, and a large number of ground crews quickly responded to the aircraft carrier. The carrier-based fighter jets on board were refueled and bombed, and the F2A Buffalo carrier-based fighter jets were released.

The slow transport ship also quickly turned its bow, preparing to change its course and leave the sea area where a war was about to break out.

It's a pity that the distance is less than 50 kilometers. For the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter with a maximum flight speed of more than 500 kilometers, it only takes a few minutes.

When 64 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters roared in, the escort fleet's air defense formation had not yet been completely formed. There were only 5 F2A Niu carrier-based fighters in the sky above the fleet, forming a fragile air defense line.

"｀嗵嗵嗵"、"Tom Tom Tom"、""Boom, boom, boom!"

Such a large-scale carrier-based aircraft appeared in the sky above the fleet. The expressions of everyone in the entire escort fleet, including the transport fleet that had not yet had time to leave, changed drastically. The anti-aircraft artillery that had been prepared fired fiercely into the air. Again.

The pilots driving the five F2A Niu carrier-based fighters fearfully approached them, but in less than 2 minutes, they were all shot down from the air amidst the intensive firepower of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters. Including a little Buffalo that had just taken off from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.

Without the interference of carrier-based fighter jets, the Wildcat pilots (well) could have fun and swoop down from the sky, with a height of 412.7mm. The machine guns continued to spit out tongues of flame, and strings of dense bullets clanked on the warships.

In the anti-aircraft gun emplacements, the gunner responsible for operating the anti-aircraft artillery was covered by a large number of 12.7mm caliber bullets. He was beaten into several pieces on the spot, with broken limbs and splattered blood all over the gun position.

Although the number of anti-aircraft artillery in the entire escort fleet was not small, it did not form a complete anti-aircraft formation, so naturally it Unable to effectively block the high-speed flying Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets, many anti-aircraft artillery pieces were destroyed by the Wildcat carrier-based fighter aircraft's aircraft machine guns and 45KG-level aerial bombs. The bombed gun barrels were twisted into twists.

Especially It was the aircraft carrier in the escort fleet. It was swooped and strafed by a large number of F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets. Each round of 12.7mm machine gun bullets made bullet holes on the long flight deck. It was preparing to take off and stay. The carrier-based aircraft on the flight deck was directly exploded and a fire broke out.

The carrier-based aircraft exploded on the flight deck and set off a raging fire. This would cost the life of the aircraft carrier. If the fire was not controlled It went out and pushed the scrapped carrier-based aircraft into the sea. There was no hope that it could take off from the flight deck with a payload.
