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

Amidst a series of violent explosions, the destroyer with the weakest armor could not bear it first, and slowly sank into the sea with scars all over its body and several large holes on the side of the ship.

On the battlefield, it seems that there are only a few destroyers missing. The loss of firepower to the escort fleet is not large, but the impact on the battle situation is extremely far-reaching. There is no need to waste firepower on these destroyers.

The six Fletcher-class destroyers in the Chinese fleet had no scruples. Under the command of Deng Shichang, they increased their speed to 36 knots and quickly circled the edge of the battlefield with a fierce attitude, killing those who were fleeing in panic. The transport ship was blocked.

Although the muzzles of each high-pitched gun are only 127mm in diameter, they are a fatal threat to the transport ships with almost no arms and armor. Some transport ships that do not believe in evil are trying to escape by using their numerical advantage.

As a result, the destroyer formation that was surrounded in a semicircle was bombarded and blocked again. With a speed of up to 37 knots, the Fletcher-class destroyers were like assassins on the sea, without any trace. A transport ship was able to escape their pursuit.

Those brave guys have been hit by cannonballs, and the ship is on fire. Countless people are running and shouting on the deck, trying to put out the burning fire as soon as possible.

That is to say, Ye Bai has always wanted to capture all the 30 transport ships without sinking them. Otherwise, according to Deng Shichang's wishes, it would be better to sink one directly. Only in this way can he truly kill the chicken and scare the monkeys. Such a painless attack now. But you can't threaten these guys.

The actions of the Chinese fleet's destroyer formation did not escape the eyes of the officers on the two light cruisers. Naturally, they knew that they were heading for the transport fleet. They may have wanted to rescue them, but they simply did not have the ability.

Surrounding these two light cruisers, there are one heavy cruiser and three light cruisers that are constantly attacking. It’s almost like one versus two. They are no match at all. There are also carrier-based aircraft groups flying and circling in the sky. They can hold on until now. It has been quite difficult.

Although as escort battleships, their mission this time is to protect the safety of the transport fleet, but now they are unable to protect themselves. How can they still provide protection to the transport fleet? They can only find a way on their own.

The battleships of both sides are divided into four battlefields in this sea area. The battle between cruisers is one, the destroyer intercepting the transport fleet is another battlefield, and the lonely figure of the Yanhuang is also a separate sea area.

Even the only two remaining Brave-class aircraft carriers in the British response fleet have become a battlefield. No warships have attacked them. There are only about 10 carrier-based aircraft flying around. As long as these two aircraft carriers can escape, action and immediately launch a dive attack.

Although the Brave-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a total of 16 single-barreled 120mm guns and 3 eight-unit 40.5mm guns after undergoing modifications, the anti-aircraft firepower is not weak. The posture of 40 anti-aircraft guns shooting in the air together is still very intimidating. of.

If there are too many carrier-based aircraft attacking, the Brave-class aircraft carrier will still be a little busy, but if there are only about 10 carrier-based aircraft, it can still cope with it.

But the key issue is that the British officers on the two aircraft carriers do not dare to fight. The other party's intention is very obvious, that is, they want to capture the two aircraft carriers. They did not launch a direct attack this time. If they are not wise, they take the initiative to attack the ships monitoring them. If it is a carrier aircraft, the other party will not be so easy to talk to, and will inevitably choose to sink it.

Therefore, the radio signals between the two Brave-class aircraft carriers were almost never cut off. The officers were discussing. To be honest, as members of the Royal Navy, they were really unwilling to accept the outcome of being captured.

But the current situation has become obvious. The escort fleet has completely failed, and all the carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers have also been lost. They have no ability to defend themselves. They cannot fight and escape, and they cannot escape. They are almost captured. It finally worked out.

However, this is actually not difficult for the vast majority of British naval officers and soldiers to accept. At least their lives are guaranteed and they will not die in vain. They have tried their best in the previous battles and are not afraid of fighting.

It's just that this breaking fleet is the German naval fleet. If the two aircraft carriers are handed over to the other side intact, it will greatly enhance the strength of the German navy, which will be quite detrimental to the subsequent war.

What these British naval officers are discussing at this moment is not about whether to surrender or not, but whether to leave the two aircraft carriers intact to each other. There have always been some differences and no agreement has been reached.

It wasn't until a huge explosion was heard from the sea not far away that these British naval officers reached an agreement, which was to open the sea valve and let the two aircraft carriers sink directly, resolutely not leaving them to the Germans.

By the time the last American light cruiser was sunk, the two Brave-class aircraft carriers that had been under surveillance by carrier-based aircraft pilots had already taken in a lot of water inside, and slowly but surely began to sink into the sea.

A large number of British navy sailors used various life-saving tools and jumped off the aircraft carrier, waiting for rescue. However, they were not sure whether their behavior of opening the sea valve would annoy the Germans, so they chose not to rescue them.

Opening the sea valve could not be discovered at the beginning, and once it was opened, it could not be stopped. Therefore, by the time Ye Bai realized that something was wrong, most of the two Brave-class aircraft carriers had already submerged in the water and had sunk. The speed is getting faster and faster.

This almost made Ye Bai so angry that he vomited blood. He was so focused on capturing the two Brave-class aircraft carriers that he didn't even order the fleet to attack them.

Although there is still a light aircraft carrier waiting for repairs in the small shipyard, it stands to reason that Ye Bai does not lack light aircraft carriers, but that is a Longxiang-class light aircraft carrier, and the number of carrier-based aircraft is Quite a few, a total of 48, but the displacement is less than 20,000 tons, and there are a lot of flaws, which are far inferior to the Brave-class.

The most critical point is that this is an aircraft carrier of the Little Japan Kingdom. Ye Bai disdains to use this light aircraft carrier when he has other options.

Capturing these two Brave-class aircraft carriers would be enough to eliminate the Dragon-class aircraft carrier. Anyway, Ye Bai didn't even have the construction drawings in hand.

In the end, who would have thought that these damn bastards would choose to commit suicide? Isn't this a typical act of harming others and not benefiting oneself? If Ye Bai knew that the reason why these British guys chose to commit suicide was that they thought he was a German, I'm afraid I feel even more depressed and want to vomit blood.

"Commander, should we salvage those soldiers who fell into the water?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lütjens also felt a sense of low pressure from Ye Bai's body, and couldn't help but ask softly next to him. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is not necessary. If you ask Ye Bai for instructions, he who holds the actual command of the fleet can give the order directly.

However, Lütjens is also a very discerning guy. When he found out that Ye Bai was not in the right mood, he immediately found the culprit. Of course not He would choose to get into trouble, if he, the commander, wanted to use these sailors who jumped into the sea as a punching bag.

But in the end, he sent people to rescue these guys. Isn't this like running into the muzzle of a gun alive? The gain outweighs the loss.

Ye Bai took a long breath and said in a somewhat unkind tone:"Save, save everyone. Since the battleship is gone, let these guys pay with their bodies. I don't believe it yet."

In this activity space, Ye Bai wants battleships, people, and Ye Bai also wants. In short, he will capture everyone who can be captured. After leaving the activity space, he will try to recruit these guys, and maybe even There was an unexpected surprise.

With Ye Bai's permission, Lütjens no longer had any scruples and immediately ordered the fleet to dispatch quickly to rescue the sailors who jumped into the sea. He also did not forget to send a large number of personnel to take over the 30 transport ships.

Even because of the shortage of manpower, Lütjens asked Ye Bai to recruit a large number of crew members and marines from the system again. The spacious flight deck on the Yanhuang was the best gathering place.

Look. Looking at the two Brave-class aircraft carriers with only half of their hulls still exposed, Ye Bai's heart was about to bleed. There were not many opportunities to capture two nearly intact light aircraft carriers at once. The result was nothing.

After Ramsay directed all the released carrier-based aircraft to return and land one after another, he walked to Ye Bai's side, took a careful look at Ye Bai's face, and said softly:"Commander, actually we can try Immediately send people to board these two aircraft carriers"

"What are you sending people up there for? You're going to die, just have fun and sink with the ship."

Hearing Ramsey's words, Ye Bai rolled his eyes at him angrily, and his tone was quite unkind.

Who knew that Ramsey just smiled and continued to explain:"Commander, as long as our people board these two ships, The aircraft carrier is equivalent to capturing these two ships. Then the transmission system can be used."

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment. The teleportation system is indeed very powerful, just like space magic. But the problem is that in the system settings, only the warships under Ye Bai's command or the warships taken over after being captured can use the teleportation system. Other battleships will not work.

According to this setting, sending people to board the ship as Ramsey said can indeed capture the two aircraft carriers and can also be teleported into a small space, but what is the meaning of this?

"Ramsay, you can't help but notice that these two aircraft carriers have their sea valves opened.Sinking has become a foregone conclusion. Even if I teleport them into a small space, won't they sink to the bottom of the sea?"

Actually, Ye Bai didn't know the reason for the sinking of the two aircraft carriers at the beginning. It was Lütjens who reminded him. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the rear admiral.
