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

As a convoy fleet, their most important duty is not to sink many engagement-breaking battleships, but to protect the transport fleet, preferably without losing a single transport ship.

But the current situation is obvious. This small-scale break-up fleet with an aircraft carrier actually wants to launch an active attack regardless of life and death. How can they endure this?

The officers of the two countries who were still arguing quickly reached an agreement. It was true that this escort fleet did not come from one country, but was composed of warships from two countries. Otherwise, where would the previous dispute have broken out? ah.

Among them, the British naval officers chose to take the initiative. However, they were severely tortured by the Third Reich's war-breaking operations and underwater wolves in this war. It is unknown how many transport ships and cargo loaded on the ships were lost. Resources, if they have the opportunity to destroy a break-up fleet, they will not let it go.

Those who objected were naturally those U.S. naval officers who escorted the transport fleet all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Before the resources loaded on these transport ships successfully arrived at the British port, they were the property of the United States of America, and the British had not paid for them..

If it is attacked during the voyage and any losses occur, the U.S. Navy will bear the responsibility. Therefore, they are naturally unwilling to disperse the power of the escort fleet to attack the break-up fleet. They just want to safely carry out this group of ships. Once the transport ship is delivered to the British port, the mission has been completed, and we don’t want to cause any complications.

The reason for this situation is that although it is in line with the real development situation in history, in the final analysis it is just an activity space created by the system. It is just a disguised form of the system that leaves a little leeway for the players without thinking about giving the players a chance. Beaten to death with a stick.

But he met a fool like Ye Bai, who obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore, but he still took the initiative to get involved. It was really something that my uncle could bear, but my aunt couldn't bear.

The escort fleet, which numbered more than 20 ships, quickly dispersed. The two aircraft carriers in the British fleet stayed in place together with the American escort fleet to protect the safety of the transport fleet.

All the remaining British warships, led by two Prestige-class battlecruisers, took the initiative to attack at a speed of 30 knots, preparing to meet the Chinese fleet that was rushing towards them at full speed.

After the fleet was dispatched, carrier-based aircraft also took off from the two aircraft carriers remaining near the transport fleet. Both aircraft carriers are light aircraft carriers, but they are not the most powerful Ark Royal class aircraft carriers. It's just a Valiant-class aircraft carrier.

In terms of full load displacement, the Brave-class has reached a scale of 27,000 tons, which is no different from the Ark Royal. However, there is a big gap between the two aircraft carriers in the number of carrier-based aircraft.

The Brave-class aircraft carrier has a carrier-based aircraft capacity of 48, while the Ark Royal's carrier-based aircraft capacity, although it does not meet the design requirements of 72, is generally around 60, which is much better than the Brave-class..

Not to mention the disparity in the number of anti-aircraft weapons between the two sides. It is no wonder that the Brave-class aircraft carrier can only be sent out to escort the transport fleet, which is generally the job of escorting aircraft carriers.

The two Brave-class light aircraft carriers carry a total of almost 100 carrier-based aircraft. Because they perform escort missions, the configuration of carrier-based aircraft is biased towards the number of carrier-based fighter jets. There are a total of 48 Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets. , in addition to 24 Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft and 24 Skua fighter-bombers.

This time, in order to assist the surface fleet as much as possible to destroy the breaking fleet as quickly as possible, the two brave-class light aircraft carriers released almost all their carrier-based aircraft.

A total of 90 carrier-based aircraft took off from the two aircraft carriers and headed towards the Chinese fleet. In order to form this huge fleet, the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers spent all their money. The backup aircraft were all sent out, leaving only two empty shells still floating on the sea.

It is true that carrier-based aircraft fly faster than surface ships, but flying so many carrier-based aircraft at one time is still a huge pressure on these two brave-class light aircraft carriers.

After all the carrier-based aircraft took off and formed a formation in the air, it was almost an hour before the surface fleet took the initiative to attack. The distance between the two relatively high-speed fleets had been shortened to less than 100 kilometers. Got it

"Woo woo woo"、"Woo woo woo"、""Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]] sauruses". Fleet air defense alert.

After receiving the emergency report, Lütjens just glanced at the radar display screen and immediately ordered the fleet to reduce its speed, quickly switch to air defense formations, and dispatch so many carrier-based aircraft at one time. Just relying on the 32 aircraft above the fleet The F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets may not be able to stop them all. Once a fish slips through the net, it must rely on the fleet's air defense firepower.

Other warships are fine, but the most troublesome one is the Yanhuang. Its huge size is really too conspicuous. If a carrier-based aircraft dropped an aerial bomb on top of the Yanhuang, not to mention the damage to the ship's hull, if the flight deck was damaged, it would be a big trouble.

This time we have to fight the escort fleet, and there is no carrier-based aircraft Air support from aircraft is not possible, and the two battlecruisers are a huge hidden danger.

With the order, the battleships near the Yanhuang quickly began to turn their bows, and eight Fletcher-class destroyers formed the first group on the periphery. A line of defense, with four Brooklyn-class light cruisers in it, and the two New Orleans-class heavy cruisers and the Yanhuang at the center. All anti-aircraft artillery is ready, and the black muzzles are pointed into the air and can be deployed at any time. Shooting in the air.

The 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets above the fleet also received the order. They quickly moved forward a certain distance and raised their flight altitude. Once the opponent's carrier-based aircraft group arrived, they would immediately dive to attack.

In Yanhuang On the flight deck of the USS, a large number of F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters were continuously transmitted through the transmission platform, and then took off from the flight deck one after another, forming a backup air defense over the fleet. A distance of

70 kilometers, based on the carrier- based In terms of the flight speed of the fleet, it only took a few minutes. When a large black fleet appeared in the distant sky with the roar of engines, Yanhuang had only released 16 F4F carrier-based fighters..

This is also due to the fact that the transmission platform and the angled flight deck have up to 4 runways, which can take off 4 carrier-based aircraft at one time, otherwise the number of little wildcats that can take off will be even less.

By the roar of the engine Alarmed, the ground staff who were busy on the flight deck of the Yanhuang just looked up, then quickly lowered their heads and continued to help launch the carrier-based fighter jets. They did not pay too much attention, but their movements were obviously faster. A little bit more. Before the dark aircraft fleet even approached the periphery of the fleet, and before the more than 20 anti-aircraft guns of different calibers on the Fletcher-class destroyers had time to fire, the 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets hidden in the high altitude had already launched. Dive attack. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Dive down from high altitude, the flight speed is increased a bit, and the 12.7mm diameter aviation machine guns keep roaring, and tongues of fire spit out. came out, like whips of fire, whipping into the formation of the British carrier-based aircraft group.

Unexpectedly, one carrier-based aircraft was hit by multiple bullets and fell from the sky with black smoke. However, Although the British carrier-based aircraft group, which had a numerical advantage, suffered heavy losses, the remaining pilots had already reacted.

All 42 Fulmar carrier-based aircraft serving as escorts were dispatched, entangled the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets that had just completed a dive attack and had not yet raised their altitude again.

Although in terms of speed, firepower and armor, the Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets are naturally no match for the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets, but there are nearly 10 more of them, and with all their efforts, not to mention defeating them, they have been entangled for a while. Still no problem lifting.

The 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters were entangled by the larger number of Fulmar carrier-based fighters. The remaining less than 40 bombers and torpedo planes were unblocked and quickly passed through the sky, preparing to launch an attack on the Chinese fleet. attack. (Good money)

But unfortunately, what greeted them first was not the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the peripheral Fletcher-class destroyers, but the 16 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets hovering over the fleet.

Under the hedging attack, several British carrier-based aircraft were shot down again, and several more had bullet holes in their fuselages. They finally broke through the obstruction before the British pilots could enter the bombing route.

The Chinese fleet below suddenly erupted into a powerful and dense air defense firepower network. One Fletcher-class destroyer has more than 20 anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, and 8 ships have more than 160 anti-aircraft guns. They can deal with them together. The firepower of aerial shooting is still quite terrifying.

Thanks to the Brooklyn-class light cruiser's anti-aircraft weapons, which are only anti-aircraft machine guns and weak in air defense, these British carrier-based aircraft pilots would know what a nightmare is.

But don't forget, the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser has 2440mm air cannons and 26 20mm air cannons. Although the caliber is relatively small, it can't handle the large number, and the burst of firepower is still quite amazing.

Coupled with the assistance of the 16 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets in the sky and even the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets that took off from the Yanhuang again, these British carrier-based aircraft groups, which had lost nearly half of their fleet, were really unable to escape..
