There is a big gap in strength between the pirate fleet and the Yuntong Island escort fleet, and there are other player warships and system NPC pirate warships operating in the surrounding waters.

(PS: In order to better distinguish two different types of pirates, the pirates refreshed by the system will be called NPC pirates in the future, and the real pirate forces will still be called pirates)

If an emergency occurs, the pirate fleet can rely on the special rights granted by the system. , to temporarily recruit nearby NPC pirate warships, but Yuntong Island’s escort fleet may not be able to recruit nearby player warships for support.

Players are all profitless and can't afford to do it early. If they don't receive the relevant tasks in advance, it means they can't get the rewards after completing the tasks. The world of navigation is not a real game world, and the escort fleet does not have the right to be on the sea. Post quests to other players.

Without mission rewards as an attraction, players will not fight against the pirate fleet for the escort fleet of Yuntong Island, which is a bit fatal.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Ye Bai. Ye Bai doesn't care at all whether the Yuntong Island escort fleet is dead or alive, even if the whole army is wiped out, it doesn't matter, even though most of them are Blue Star players and are allies with him.

The only thing Ye Bai is worried about now is that the strength gap between the two fleets is too big. The escort fleet cannot withstand it for too long. The main fleet on Yuntong Island was all sunk before it arrived. That would not be fun..

Not wanting to attract the attention of Yuntong Island's main fleet and causing the butterfly effect, Ye Bai couldn't send out reconnaissance planes to monitor the opponent at all times. As a result, now he didn't even know how long it would take for Yuntong Island's main fleet to arrive.

"Lütjens asked the fleet to increase its speed and move closer to the transport fleet. It didn't need to be too close, but kept at a distance of about 70 kilometers."

Ye Bai doesn't want to wait any longer. No matter whether the main fleet of Yuntong Island can arrive or not, he has to take action first. If there is any accident, he will change his strategy and attack the pirate fleet. Before, he had been They all put their attack targets on Yuntong Island and Island No. 308, but somewhat ignored the pirate island. According to the system settings, the pirate island is the same as the island occupied by the aborigines in all aspects, that is, the population It is rare and lacks many supporting facilities.

By capturing such an island, he can still get rewards from the system, and he can even use this pirate island to make some articles, such as"Two peaches kill three soldiers".

But Ye Bai didn't want this to happen, because it would completely disrupt his original plan, and many things would need to be redeployed. The

Chinese fleet, which was sailing on the sea at a speed of about 10 knots, instantly increased its speed. It quickly soared to 30 knots and rushed all the way in the direction of the transport fleet. The location of the transport fleet was always controlled by the Chinese fleet. Prien led a whole fleet of 20 Type XXI submarines, but he was constantly tracking and monitoring. For those basic warships in the escort fleet, sonar systems have not been installed for many years. It is not so easy to detect submarines that are submerged underwater. At least until now, Prien and his first submarine formation have always been able to detect them. No traces were exposed.

The Chinese fleet was already operating in an area about 200 kilometers away from the transport fleet. Now it has to shorten the distance to 70 kilometers, which is only about 130 kilometers. 2 hours is enough.

When the Chinese fleet sailed at sea for 1 Two hours later, when the distance to the transport fleet was less than 150 kilometers, the Chinese fleet split into two. The Yanhuang led the main fleet and slowly reduced its speed, only maintaining it at about 10 knots, and began to draw a circle on the sea. Langsdorff led the First Squadron, together with the specially strengthened Prestige-class battlecruiser Huanggang, to maintain a high speed of 30 knots and still rush towards the transport fleet. At this time, the squadron was formed The benefits are reflected. The main fleet with the Yanhuang and two Brave-class light aircraft carriers as the core stays far away and dispatches carrier-based aircraft groups for long-range strikes. The squadron closes the distance between the two sides and uses close-range artillery. The way of fighting is to contain and even defeat the opponent's surface fleet. Anyway, there is a radar system that has been upgraded to level 8, which is quite powerful in detecting the surrounding sea areas. It is even more difficult to make a sneak attack.

As long as the main fleet is given enough reaction time , the Yanhuang can release a large number of carrier-based aircraft groups to carry out indiscriminate bombardment of the sneak attack fleet. Even a battleship cannot withstand it, let alone a large number of escort warships around it. Even if it encounters a carrier-based aircraft group, Ye Bai's aerial bombardment is also true. Not to mention the huge number of carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang, even the warships and anti-aircraft shells of the main fleet have been equipped with radio proximity fuses and fire control radars. As a guide, if you want to break through the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower network, you will have to be peeled off even if you don't die. Not long after Langsdorff arrived at the destination with the first squadron, Ye Bai received a message from Prien. According to the message, their radar system has detected the presence of the pirate fleet. The escort fleet should have also discovered the presence of pirates and started to take action to prepare for a war.

After reading this telegram, Lütjens did not need to ask Ye Bai for instructions, but directly sent a reply to Langsdorff, asking them to leave the battlefield immediately and conduct reconnaissance at a distance. It didn't matter even if they lost track.

After all, although the submarine is concealed enough to travel underwater, the submarine itself is extremely fragile. In a battle involving more than 100 warships on both sides, there is no telling how many shells will fall into the water and explode.

If the diving depth is not enough, these shells exploding around the submarine can completely tear the shell of the XXI submarine, and it will be a disaster.

As for surveillance, we will leave it to the First Squadron for the time being. The level 8 radar system equipped on the battleship is enough to detect the situation of the surface fleet within 70 kilometers. With such a large number of battleships, we want to completely get rid of the radar of the First Squadron. Detection is simply a pipe dream.

As an excellent submarine captain, Prien naturally understood the advantages and disadvantages of the Type XXI submarine. He immediately commanded the entire first submarine formation to secretly leave the escort fleet from underwater. It was not until they were some distance away that they temporarily stopped.

But they still did not surface. They stayed underwater and used radar to detect the upcoming war. However, in order to receive the order from the Yanhuang in time, the depth of these XXI-type submarines was not too deep. Basically keep it at the depth of the periscope, at least you can receive radio signals.

Although the pirate forces were equipped with aircraft carriers, their combat methods were somewhat unique. After several battles, Ye Bai discovered that the pirates mixed aircraft carriers with other warships and appeared directly around the battlefield.

The other main battleships continued to close the distance for bombardment, while the aircraft carrier and a small number of frigates were cruising not far behind the main fleet, releasing carrier-based aircraft to provide air fire support for the main fleet's battle. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This method shortens the attack distance of carrier-based aircraft a lot, and the number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched at one time can be increased. After all, a completed aircraft can be The entire process from the hangar to the flight deck and then to the aircraft takes at least 4 minutes.

The Yanhuang has faced this dilemma before. If it had not been equipped with a transmission platform and an angled flight deck, if it wanted to launch 150 carrier-based aircraft at once, when the last carrier-based aircraft took off, the first one would take off. The carrier-based aircraft's fuel tank is empty.

This method of pirate fleet can release more carrier-based aircraft at once. The battlefield is not far ahead anyway. Even if a lot of fuel is consumed in the air in order to wait for the follow-up carrier-based aircraft to take off, the remaining fuel will be Enough for them to complete their bombing mission.

A surface battle involving more than 100 warships broke out instantly. After many battles, today's players have also learned to maintain formation and distribution in naval battles, especially in artillery battles. Firepower and attack targets cannot be rushed in swarm to fight.

This requirement is naturally difficult for ordinary players, but there are also warships from Yuntong Island in the escort fleet. With them as the commander and leader, players who have suffered a lot in the past few months are finally honest. Execute orders on the ground.

Nowadays, no player will ignore the importance of communication. Almost all players have installed radio communication systems on their ships, and after receiving the escort mission assembly, they have determined the communication channel with the Yuntong Island officer in charge, at least in Within the escort fleet, communication can be kept open.

Although there are professional officers from Yuntong Island in charge of command, the military literacy of these independent (Zhao) players is not very high. Some players who have recruited professional captains to assist in command are better, and the other guys' The performance is a bit too crotch-heavy.

Therefore, the formation formed is so ugly that they cannot be qualified as soldiers. If they encounter an elite fleet, they will suffer heavy losses in a battle.

Of course, the pirate fleet was not much better. The formation they reluctantly formed was also loose and the two sides were evenly matched.

Commanding more than 60 warships at one time, and having a subordinate with poor military literacy, was a great test for a fleet commander. Therefore, as the war progressed, the fleets of both sides gradually divided into several groups on the wide sea. A small battlefield.

There are a bunch of destroyers, a bunch of light cruisers, and another bunch of battlecruisers and heavy cruisers, forming small fleets fighting on their own.

It's just that no matter which battlefield it is on, the escort fleet is the party that is absolutely suppressed. On the destroyer battlefield, the pirate fleet has an absolute numerical advantage and naturally suppresses the escort fleet.

On the battlefield of heavy cruisers, there are battlecruisers and battleships as the main force, and the escort fleet cannot hold it at all. If it were not for the large number of light cruisers and a large number of light cruisers mobilized to support, the heavy cruisers in the escort fleet would have been destroyed long ago. Totally sunk Seven..
