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

The entire superstructure of the ship was blown to pieces, and even the ship island was blown sideways. The uppermost floors were blown into ruins, and countless large holes were blown out of the deck.

That's not all. Large holes were blown out on the sides of the hull and near the waterline armor belt. The internal cabins were severely damaged, especially the power system.

One of the Prestige-class battlecruisers suffered the most serious damage. The entire stern of the ship was blown up. From a distance, it looked like it had been chewed by a dog. It was shortened by a section.

The two heavy cruisers were not much better either. Not only the hulls were severely damaged, but also the power compartments were directly blown up. Both battleships had lost their power and were floating on the sea like two iron coffins.

The armor value of battlecruisers and heavy cruisers far exceeds that of destroyers and light cruisers, and because of the special battle rules of the great maritime world, these battleships will not sink until their armor value is exhausted.

But as a result, these warships suffered more attacks, and the sailors on the ships also had to bear greater blows and casualties. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than a fatal blow.

After the first wave of attack aircraft had used up all the"843" ammunition they carried and raised the altitude again to return home, the British officers quickly inspected the fleet's casualties and found they were on the verge of tears.

It was so tragic. Not only did the radar soldiers make mistakes, but even their officers made huge mistakes because they misjudged the number of carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang.

It was thought that all the equipment on it were carrier-based fighter jets, and there was no preparation at all for the possible air attack. Moreover, it had a huge fleet of more than 150 carrier-based aircraft, which far exceeded the fleet's air defense capabilities.

Due to double mistakes, the fleet was not prepared for air defense at all, and suffered serious damage. It seemed that only 5 of the nearly 20 warships in the entire fleet were sunk, which was only a quarter of the size.

But in fact, the entire fleet of warships has been severely damaged. In terms of combat effectiveness, almost half of its combat effectiveness has been destroyed. At this time, not to mention the aerial bombardments that may continue to occur, even the warships that were originally powerful in their eyes The weak enemy fleet can defeat them through artillery battles.

The British officers, whose faces were as dark as ashes on the bottom of a pot, discussed with each other and realized that it was impossible to continue the attack. They needed to evacuate quickly now, but the power systems of several warships in the fleet were damaged, especially the The two heavy cruisers were paralyzed on the sea, unable to move.

If you retreat at this time, you won't be able to run far at all, and you will be overtaken by the breaking fleet. In the end, you will still be unable to escape the fate of sinking.

In view of such a tragic loss of the fleet, some officers directly decided to break the enemy's warships. They simply went all out and organized the remaining forces of the fleet to continue attacking the enemy fleet, focusing on attacking the opponent's aircraft carrier.

As long as it can sink the opponent's aircraft carrier, the break-up fleet will not be able to dispatch carrier-based aircraft groups to attack the transport fleet. After all, the two aircraft carriers left on the transport fleet have lost almost all their carrier-based aircraft and have lost their airborne capabilities. support.

As long as there are no aircraft carriers, it is entirely possible for the transport fleet to evade in advance, avoid the search of this break-up fleet, and thus escape.

However, as soon as this plan was proposed, it was rejected by the British fleet commander. The reason was very simple. Since the other party dispatched more than 150 carrier-based aircraft at one time, this was simply not something that an aircraft carrier could accommodate. Only a heavy aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 50,000 to 60,000 tons can be equipped with so many carrier-based aircraft.

This type of heavy aircraft carrier is the absolute main battleship for any country's naval fleet, and it is impossible to be easily released to perform dangerous break-up missions.

Therefore, the British commanders believed that the warships they discovered were not the entire force of the break-up fleet. There were an unknown number of warships, including at least one aircraft carrier, that had not been discovered by them.

Even if these remaining warships attack desperately and sink the aircraft carrier, the current situation, especially the safety of the transport fleet, will not actually improve at all, and they can only die in vain.

Before the British fleet could discuss a feasible plan, the second attack wave of carrier-based aircraft released by the Yanhuang had already flown over the fleet with a powerful roar.

The second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups is no different from the previous wave of attack aircraft groups. It is still composed of 32 F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighters, 64SBD Dauntless dive bombers, and 64TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft. The scale is huge. , making the British fleet, from officers to soldiers, feel deep despair

"Air defense preparations."

Accompanied by the harsh air defense sirens, the hoarse shouts of the British officers rang out on each warship. These warships were all seriously damaged, and some internal communication systems were also damaged and had to return."Roar" is the most primitive communication method.

Faced with the attack of more than 150 carrier groups, this British fleet seemed so powerless. Before, the entire fleet was intact and could not stop it even with all the air defense firepower. Stay, let the fleet suffer heavy losses.

How can the dilapidated fleet that has been destroyed by more than half of its combat strength resist it?

But now, these British officers and soldiers have no other choice, whether it is for the so-called honor of the Imperial Royal Navy , or for their own lives, they can only cheer up, operate the remaining anti-aircraft guns to shoot in the air, and try their best to intercept the indiscriminate bombing of the carrier-based aircraft group.

However, facing such a large-scale carrier-based aircraft group Attack, all the resistance of the British officers and soldiers seemed so futile. This group of British officers once again made a serious mistake, that is, they once again misjudged the take-off and landing efficiency of the Yanhuang's carrier-based aircraft.

In order to improve the Yanhuang, Ye Bai The take-off and landing efficiency of the carrier-based aircraft can be said to be very worrying. They have tried every means to use space crystals to transform a large-area hangar. Being able to accommodate more carrier-based aircraft, fuel, ammunition, and personnel is only the first priority. Step.

The transmission system and the angled flight deck have improved the take-off and landing speed of a large number of carrier-based aircraft.

The most important thing is that Ye Bai has money in his hands and a small space to build, so he recruits them frantically. Thousands of ground crews have been deployed to serve the hundreds of carrier-based aircraft in the hangar.

On average, there are about 10 ground crews for each carrier-based aircraft who are responsible for basic maintenance and replenishment of fuel and ammunition. This makes the carrier-based aircraft The machine can be ready for combat in the shortest possible time...

Such a large number of ground staff is naturally a huge burden for Ye Bai. Not to mention anything else, the monthly military salary expenditure alone costs nearly 1 million. This is due to the fact that Ye Bai has sufficient funds and is small. The space can also recover some of the funds from the soldiers, otherwise Ye Bai would not dare to recruit people on such a large scale.

After the first wave of carrier-based aircraft groups set off, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups was already under preparation. Sufficient ground staff made this work go very smoothly, and it was completed in less than half an hour. everything.

Later, when the first wave of attack aircraft groups returned home, taking advantage of the angled flight deck that could take off and land carrier-based aircraft at the same time, the second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups quickly took off and rushed to the battlefield.

The interval between the whole process was quite short, which was much lower than the common sense understood by British military officers. An extremely serious misjudgment occurred, which led to the current situation.

The most important thing is that not long after the second wave of attack aircraft started bombing, the main warships of the Chinese fleet successfully arrived at the battlefield, but the Yanhuang, with a light cruiser and two destroyers, still stayed about 100 meters away from the British fleet. It was about 20 kilometers away, but it didn't come close.

There are only two other heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and six destroyers that are really close to within less than 10 kilometers.

In terms of quantity, there is not much difference between the Chinese fleet and the British fleet, but there is a huge gap in tonnage and artillery caliber between the two sides. However, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, the Chinese fleet has the advantage.

"boom"、"boom"、"There is no need to fly seaplanes to provide air guidance. Those F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets can fully assume this responsibility. With these pilots in the air as eyes, the fleet's salvo hit rate is improving step by step. It's just a three-wheeled salvo. After shooting, many artillery shells landed on the British warships, and violent explosions occurred. Coupled with the heavy aviation 2.3 aerial bombs falling from the sky from time to time and the attacks of heavy aviation torpedoes, it can be said that the British were killed. The war fleet was doomed.

Under successive attacks, most of the anti-aircraft guns on each warship in the British fleet were destroyed. There was no longer any power to resist or stop the carrier-based aircraft groups whizzing past in the sky.

But For the surface ships of the Chinese fleet, these British warships still have a strong counterattack force. The main guns that have never been put to use finally came into use at this moment, firing heavy shells. , trying to cause some damage to the warships of the Chinese fleet.

Unfortunately, the pilots in the sky were not here to watch the show. They found that these British guys still dared to resist, and how could they tolerate them? They swooped down one after another, aiming at those who were constantly The main turret opened fire and dropped the 700KG level aerial bomb.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom" (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The armor defense of the main turret on the British warship is still very thick, but it still seems a bit fragile when faced with 700KG heavy aviation bombs. Despite this The attack is not very precise, and it is impossible for every aerial bomb to accurately hit a main turret, but if you throw a few more bombs, you will always succeed.
