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

It was just a small transport fleet. Under the siege of the squadron sent by Lütjens, several escort warships did not last long before they were sunk one after another. However, no carrier-based aircraft were dispatched for air support. After this naval battle, several warships suffered varying degrees of damage.

Anyway, it was already nighttime, and Ye Bai happened to teleport these damaged warships together with the five captured transport ships into the small space of the logistics cabin, and asked the shipyard to suspend the construction of new warships and put these few ships first. Let’s talk about the successful repair of the damaged warship.

By the way, I also took the time to inspect the five captured transport ships and take stock of the harvest this time. The large amount of resources carried by the previous 20 transport ships greatly stimulated Ye Bai. Although the number of transport ships this time was small, It’s a lot, but at least you can get some good stuff.

After the inventory was completed, Ye Bai was quite disappointed because although the five transport ships were also fully loaded, they did not contain the resources he needed at all. Instead, they contained a large amount of infantry warfare weapons and equipment.

Rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, small-caliber artillery, and even tanks and armored vehicles. These things cannot be said to be rubbish, but for a large maritime world where naval battles are almost the main focus, they are really not important.

So many army weapons and equipment, in the final analysis, are not as practical as a destroyer. At least that is what Ye Bai thinks now. The most important thing is that even if he sells these equipment to other players in the trading section 09, it will be useless. No one will waste money on purchasing, which is equivalent to throwing money into their own hands.

A somewhat disappointed Ye Bai finally had no choice but to have all these weapons and equipment moved to the warehouse. At the same time, he also had some artillery, tanks, and armored vehicle equipment distributed to the security group in the small space to enhance their strength.

This security group has been in the army for a long time, but it has never experienced a battle. It basically stays in a small space, destroys some large beasts or predators, and protects civilians in the small space. It is safe to say that it is overqualified for use.

Ye Bai himself didn't know what role these tanks, armored vehicles and even artillery could play when equipped into the security regiment. Anyway, he just thought that these were his trophies after all and could not be wasted casually.

The spoils harvested were not satisfactory, which made Ye Bai feel downcast. When he returned to the bridge, he found that Lütjens and Ramsey were studying carefully with a stack of photos in their hands. They were still discussing something in a low voice.

Ye Bai was not too surprised by this scene. Seeing that it was almost nightfall, almost all the reconnaissance planes sent out had returned one after another. The reconnaissance photos taken were naturally developed and printed. It was normal for the two of them to study together..

When Lütjens discovered Ye Bai's figure, he immediately said:"Commander, good news, the transport fleet more than 400 kilometers away from us is a big fish."

"Big fish? Ye

Bai's eyes lit up as soon as he heard about these two people. He quickly walked to them, picked up the reconnaissance photos scattered on the chart table and looked at them again and again. When he found that he still couldn't understand them well, He suddenly came back to his senses.

He turned his head, looked at Lütjens with some surprise, and asked softly:"Are you talking about the transport fleet more than 400 kilometers away from us that was discovered by our reconnaissance plane before?"

"Yes, it's that transport fleet. What's wrong? The confusion on Ye

Bai's face became a little more intense, and he continued:"Aren't those reconnaissance planes being pursued by carrier-based fighter jets?" Did they escape?"

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed across the faces of Lütjens and Ramsey. It turns out that their commander didn't know it yet, but this is normal. Who would have thought that there would be so many aircraft with weak firepower and slow flying speed? The reconnaissance plane was able to escape the pursuit of the carrier-based fighter jets and escape all the way back to the mothership.

Ramsey smiled, nodded, and said:"Commander, they are only pursued by a few Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets, and their flying speed is faster than Our reconnaissance plane was even slower, which allowed them to escape pursuit and return successfully."

It turns out to be a Fulmar. Ye Bai is very familiar with this carrier-based fighter. It was the main carrier-based fighter equipped by the Yanhuang before. The performance data is clear. The maximum level flight speed is 398 kilometers, which is better than the SBD There is actually not much difference in the maximum horizontal flight speed of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft of 410 kilometers, but if one escapes and the other pursues, they may not be able to catch up. It is estimated that after chasing for a certain distance, the other party realizes that they cannot catch up. Only then did he choose to give up.

However, since the other party was using a Fulmar carrier-based fighter jet, the identity of the other party had actually been exposed. Ye Bai blurted out directly:"This is a British transport fleet?"

Lütjens nodded and said:"According to the analysis of the reconnaissance photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, the escort warships in this fleet are indeed flying the British flag, but those transport ships are not, they are flying the American flag."

Ye Bai nodded clearly. There is nothing surprising about this. During the great war between the Third Reich and the Empire of Never Sets, the Empire was pinned to the ground by the Third Reich.

If there hadn't been a strait As a natural barrier, the Third Reich's navy was quite ineffective and could not effectively provide the army with the fire support needed for landing. I am afraid that the history of that war will be rewritten. But even though it was huddled on the island, every day To withstand the indiscriminate bombing of the Third Reich Air Force fighter planes, which almost destroyed the island, many resources need to be supplied by external sources.

Especially for some weapons and equipment, the production capacity of our own military factories is insufficient. They just hit it off with that rogue country that had been making plans for a long time, worked together, and reached a so-called deal.

Although the Third Reich's navy is not powerful, its submarine force is quite good. I don't know how many transport ships full of supplies there are. Under their"wolf's mouth", if there is not enough escort warship protection, no matter how much supplies the rogue country transports, they will be sent to the bottom of the sea.

Since it is the transport fleet of the rogue country, there must be a lot of resources on the transport ship. Who is this rich man? The transport fleet that also came from a rogue country made him a lot of money.

"Let's talk about the situation of the other party's fleet and whether we can find a way to defeat him."

At this moment, Ye Bai was deeply stimulated by the huge harvest. His eyes were a little red. He looked like a pirate. All he could think about was to kill him and rob the transport fleet. (See For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Commander, this transport fleet is quite large, with a total of more than 50 ships, 30 of which are transport ships, and the remaining 20 or so ships are all escort warships, including 2 escort aircraft carriers, 2 battlecruisers, 4 heavy Cruisers, the rest are light cruisers and destroyers."

Lütjens' tone was a little heavy, and he paused before continuing:"Commander, the opponent has eight battleships, and we only have three. This gap is not small, even though our carrier-based aircraft have the quantity and performance. advantage, but it will take a long time to actually fight. I am worried that those transport ships will take advantage of this opportunity to sneak away."

Although Ye Bai was also shocked by this huge escort fleet, everything else was fine, including the 4th heavy cruiser. In fact, Ye Bai didn't take it too seriously. The key was the 2 battlecruisers.

Perhaps in the original world, battlecruisers gradually withdrew from the stage of history and were completely eliminated due to weak armor. However, in this great maritime world, affected by special combat rules, a second spring broke out. , the combat effectiveness that can be exerted in naval battles is quite good.

Ye Bai will not forget that in the battle between Ixin Island and the pirate forces, there was only one battlecruiser in the pirate fleet, and it actually held back All the main battleships of the Combined Fleet.

Not only did it cause huge casualties to the main battleships of the Combined Fleet, but it also managed to escape from the battlefield in the end. If it weren't for the oriole Ye Bai behind it, this battlecruiser could have completely escaped and returned to the pirates. The island's powerful combat power can be seen in general.

And in that naval battle, thanks to the Yanhuang ship sending a large number of carrier-based fighter jets, they shot down all the carrier-based aircraft on the pirate aircraft carrier. Otherwise, With the air support of carrier-based aircraft, maybe the pirate fleet can defeat the combined fleet.

This time, it will be better. There are 2 aircraft carriers and 2 battlecruisers in this escort fleet. Even if the Yanhuang has a teleportation platform, an oblique With the help of the corner flight deck, 150 carrier-based aircraft can be launched at one time.

However, it is not that easy to destroy such a combination, or in the end, it can be launched against it with the more than 500 carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang. Take turns to bomb and achieve the final victory.

Not to mention the losses of carrier-based aircraft, a lot of time will also be consumed. It is quite normal to fight for several hours. With this time, those transport ships will have run away long ago.

Lutyan Ye Bai can actually understand Si's worries. The average speed of these transport ships is only about 10 knots. Even if they are given a few hours, they may not be able to run very far.

But the problem is that now this is a space for activities, and there are people everywhere. There may be a break-up fleet and a transport fleet. No matter which party this transport fleet flees from the battlefield encounters, it is not good news for Ye Bai.

It would be the worst if it encounters a break-up fleet composed of other players. , which is equivalent to working hard for most of the day, and ended up making wedding clothes for others. But if he encounters another transport fleet, Ye Bai's battle will be in vain, and another battle will be needed to capture these transport ships. This is not in line with Ye Bai's plan.

This time he entered the activity space not to sink the opponent's warships, but to attack these transport ships. Without the transport ships, even sinking hundreds of warships would have no meaning..
