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

However, this cannot trouble the Chinese fleet, because Langsdorff leads the first squadron in the sea area less than 70 kilometers away from the battlefield. The level 8 radar with an effective detection range of surface ships reaching 70 kilometers can cover the battlefield. The situation of the warships was clearly detected.

Although the level 8 radar does not have the function of automatically counting the number of detected warships, it is still much simpler to clearly count the warships that appear on the radar display screen, even if it is done manually.

When the main fleet of Yuntong Island arrived at the battlefield, the total number of warships on both sides reached a terrifying scale of 200. But now, after such a long time, it still appears on the radar display screen of the battlecruiser Chengde. There are only about 100 warships left on both sides.

Among them, there are about 80 warships belonging to the Yuntong Island Fleet, while there are only less than 40 warships belonging to the pirate fleet.

Nearly all small warships such as destroyers on both sides were sunk, and many light cruisers were also sunk. Those that survived were almost severely damaged. The only warships that were still active on the battlefield were heavy cruisers and above.

On the contrary, the main battleships such as battlecruisers and battleships on both sides have rough skin and thick flesh. Although they are scarred, none of them has sunk so far. As for the aircraft carriers far away from the battlefield, that is even more so. Unscathed.

This style of play is actually quite unreasonable in Ye Bai's opinion. In a duel between aircraft carrier fleets, shouldn't they give priority to attacking the opponent's aircraft carrier? After all, aircraft carriers are much more fragile than battleships and other warships.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the flight deck is blown up, no matter how powerful the aircraft carrier is, it will lose its combat capability, and even the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to fly out, so what else can it use to fight.

Without the aircraft carrier as a platform, wouldn't the air supremacy on the battlefield fall into our own hands? That means we can fight however we want.

As a result, these guys actually targeted the battleships first, and dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to bomb each other's battleships indiscriminately. Not to mention whether there was much effect, the battleships' anti-aircraft firepower and the opponent's ship-based aircraft The losses suffered when intercepted by fighter jets were considerable.

Although this tactic is somewhat unreasonable, it is good news for Ye Bai, because it will cause greater losses to both fleets, and it will be a half-match.

It's just that the pirate fleet is at a disadvantage in the end. The number of remaining battleships is now only half of the opponent's, although the main battleships such as battleships and battlecruisers are still about the same as the opponent.

But there is a lot missing in terms of light and heavy cruisers. These light and heavy cruisers do not dare to rush forward and withstand the baptism of shells from the large-caliber main guns of battleships and battlecruisers, but there is still no problem in interfering at long distances.

Even the light cruisers, under the cover of artillery fire from their own battleships and battlecruisers, turned on their full power and even used forced ventilation. They rushed to a short distance in front of the pirate fleet at an extremely fast speed, resisting the falling missiles from time to time. The shells fired torpedoes one after another.

The torpedoes that flew out in a fan shape sailed at high speed on the sea, leaving white trails behind, and crashed into the main battleship of the pirate fleet.

It has been said before that ship-based torpedoes are stronger than aviation torpedoes in all aspects, especially the explosive power. The only disadvantage is that the release distance is relatively long and the hit rate is very low.

But no matter how low the hit rate is, it will not all be a failure. As long as one shot hits, even the battleship will be damaged. The loss of armor value is not a big problem for a battleship with thick armor. The key is the position of the waterline armor. The large hole that explodes will cause seawater from outside to instantly pour into the interior of the ship, causing continuous damage.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Violent explosions sounded on the battlefield. One unlucky pirate battleship was even hit by two 533mm diameter torpedoes at the same time. Under the shock wave of the explosion, the entire battleship was lifted up and jumped out of the sea. Light and heavy The addition of cruisers to the battlefield of battleships broke the original balance. In the previous artillery battle between the two sides, the number and combat power of the battleships were almost the same, and they were evenly matched. As a result, these normally unremarkable ships were evenly matched. The light cruiser suddenly came out and launched a torpedo attack, which would kill the pirate battleship. The battleship on Yuntong Island seized the opportunity and fired a large-caliber missile at the pirate battleship. The shells were projected next to the pirate battleship.

Although in order to launch a torpedo attack, these light cruisers, which had already damaged their hulls, withstood the bombardment of the pirate battleship's large-caliber naval gun, causing some damage, and even several light cruisers directly It was sunk on the way, but in exchange for a heavy blow to the pirate battleship. Only the fleet commander of Yuntong Island knew whether it was a good deal or not.

This fierce battle lasted until the afternoon. Pirates were still pirates after all. , although I don’t know why this time, uncharacteristically, they launched a fierce frontal battle with the Yuntong Island fleet, which obviously had superior numbers and strength.

However, after the losses were too great, they chose to give up, leaving 1 battleship and 2 battleships. After the cruiser and three escort aircraft carriers broke off with some light and heavy cruisers, the other warships immediately turned their bows and evacuated quickly. After finally catching a main fleet of the pirate force, Yun Tong paid such a heavy price of casualties. The fleet, from the commander down to the ordinary soldiers, would not let these pirates escape from the battlefield.

Each steam turbine and turbine operated at full power, increasing the speed of the battleship to the highest level, and they immediately launched a pursuit, but they were unable to What came to mind was that the pirate warships that were left behind were not to be outdone. Regardless of the strength gap between the two sides, they resisted desperately and intercepted the Yuntong Island fleet that wanted to pursue them.

If Ye Bai had been at the scene, he would have immediately understood what was going on. , Needless to say, those pirate warships that were left behind were not affiliated with the real pirate forces, but NPC pirates refreshed by the system.

These guys don't have any other emotions, they just fight, and they still fight desperately. Unless they are killed in battle or have orders from superiors, they will not take a step back.

By the time the Yuntong Island fleet sank all the NPC pirate warships that had stayed behind, and solved the obstacles, a lot of time had been lost. At this time If you want to pursue the escaping pirate fleet, you may not be able to catch up.

After all, the war has lasted for so long, and there is no big gap between the two fleets in terms of main battleships. Almost all the main battleships in the Yuntong Island fleet are injured, and some battleships are powered by The system was also damaged and could not maintain its top speed at all....

Although the pirate warships that escaped were not much better, and their speed was not at the highest level, they had already traveled so long in advance. If they wanted to pursue it now, it would take more effort, and there might not be anything wrong. What a great result. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, the Yuntong Island fleet quickly cleaned up the mess on the battlefield, sailed all the way with the broken fleet, and caught up with the transport fleet that left first, leaving part of the fleet behind. The light and heavy cruisers reorganized the escort fleet, and the main fleet quickly returned.

After this battle, many capital ships were damaged and needed to be returned to the shipyard for repairs before they could regain their combat effectiveness. Naturally, they had to separate operations.

What's more, in order to ambush the pirate fleet this time and teach these pirates a profound lesson, Yuntong Island dispatched half of the warships. The family's defense force is already a bit weak. If we don't return home quickly, if there is something done on the island No. 308, Yuntong Island is too busy for anything.

In fact, the officers and soldiers of Yuntong Island did not know that just when the pirate warships evacuated the battlefield, a group of underwater wolves had secretly followed them. It was the first group led by Prien who had been watching the battle from a distance. A submarine formation.

The pirate fleet had been severely damaged. When they evacuated the battlefield, only a few main battleships escaped. Their strength was extremely weak. Ye Bai would not waste such a good opportunity.

When Langsdorff's First Squadron is inconvenient to dispatch, Prien's First Submarine Formation is the best choice, but considering that the speed of the XXI submarine is still a bit slow, and the armor value of the battleship is too high It is too thick and we cannot place all our hopes on the submarine formation.

Carrier-based aircraft that had completed their preparation work long ago took off from the three aircraft carriers Yanhuang, Daqing, and Huayin, and assembled in the air to form a huge carrier-based aircraft formation.

Although there is no transmission platform on the Daqing and Huayin, there are angled flight decks. The take-off efficiency of this carrier-based aircraft has been greatly improved. It can also take off multiple carrier-based aircraft at the same time, which greatly reduces the number of carrier-based aircraft. The time required for a carrier-based aircraft to take off.

What's more, the number of carrier-based aircraft equipped on these two brave-class light aircraft carriers is not large. It is impossible to fly all the carrier-based aircraft in one batch. There are only less than 30 aircraft. No matter how slow it is, it will not take much time.

A huge fleet of aircraft formed a formation in the air. The total number of carrier-based aircraft groups exceeded 200. Amidst the roar of the engines, they flew majestically into the distance. They were the first submarine formation given to Prien by Ye Bai. Looking for reinforcements.

Although the Yuntong Island warships on the battlefield are also equipped with radars, their air detection capabilities have not reached the level of the Chinese fleet's level 8 radar system. They are only about 70 kilometers away at most. This huge ship has not been detected at all. of carrier aircraft fleet.

After the Yuntong Island fleet cleaned up the mess on the battlefield and began to return home, it became even more impossible to detect the pirate warships leaving the battlefield, which prevented Ye Bai's actions from being exposed.

However, when he ordered the release of carrier-based aircraft groups to attack the pirate fleet, Ye Bai no longer cared whether he would be exposed. Langsdorff, who also received the order, had already commanded the First Squadron to start the next step..
