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

"Is it because our carrier-based aircraft units are too strong or those pirates are too weak that they can't help but fight? The team in the first attack wave was still unscathed. What kind of battle damage ratio is this?"

Nimitz, Lütjens, and Ramsay, the senior officers who were also waiting for the results of the battle in the command tower, all had thick smiles on their faces. They were obviously very impressed with the performance of their carrier-based aircraft attack group. satisfied

"Commander, according to the report of the intelligence personnel, it is not that our young men are too strong, but that the pirates are too lazy. They are not mentally prepared for the aerial bombing at night. There are not even people on the air defense positions and battleships who want to defend themselves. Can't do it."

Nimitz, as the chief of staff of the fleet, of course was the first to answer. This is also an unspoken rule within the military.

"What's more, in this world, the level of science and technology has not developed to the point where it is possible to manufacture airborne radars. Naturally, there is no night bombing capability. Our attack this time can be considered a first of its kind. Not to mention that this group of people has low military literacy. pirates, even those regular fleets under the aborigines who have received strict military training will not have the preparation and experience in this area."

Ye Bai's heart moved. Nimitz's words really made him feel a little confused. It was nothing more than that he felt that the aborigines in the great maritime world seemed a little strange.

According to Luo Mingxuan, who had surrendered before, they These people have lived in the world of navigation since childhood and can be considered natives. Even if calculated based on Luo Mingxuan's age, this world has existed for at least 40 years. After 40 years of development, the technology of the entire world of navigation The level has not improved much compared to 02, and is still at the level of the early World War II. This is obviously unreasonable. If nothing else, as far as the large aboriginal forces are concerned, even if the level of technology in their hands is only Basic level, but there are a lot of talents on the island. There are always scientists, right? With basic technology, is it really difficult to develop some advanced technology?

And the world of navigation is not a peaceful society, even if players like them are not When we entered this world, there were already constant wars. There is an old saying on earth that"war is the catalyst for scientific and technological progress." In such a world where wars are frequent, no fool would be fooled if he did not spawn some military technology. You will believe it.

But why is it so strange in the world of navigation? After at least 40 years of development, military technology has been standing still. Ye Bai, a rookie who has just entered the world of navigation for less than half a year, In some aspects, they have surpassed these aboriginal forces. Is this reasonable?

Ye Bai couldn't understand, but he knew that the world of navigation was indeed an ocean world. The water was really deep. At least until now, he There are still many things that have not been clarified, how those aborigines were born, why they know so much about the players, etc., all of this is waiting for Ye Bai to explore.

"However, after the first round of aerial bombing, the second wave of attack aircraft may not have such a good opportunity to attack. The third wave of attack aircraft will have to wait until the first batch of carrier-based aircraft groups are recovered to replenish fuel and The ammunition can be released, which gives the pirates a chance to buffer."

Ramsey said helplessly while standing nearby, and above the Chinese fleet, a new large-scale carrier-based aircraft formation was flying away. It was the second wave of attack aircraft groups that were released. It was the same as the first batch of aircraft that were released. The attack aircraft groups that went out were different. This batch of attack aircraft groups all took off from the Yanhuang. There were only about 150 aircraft in total, which was more than 50 less than the first wave of attack aircraft groups. The reason for this, That's because although the other two Brave-class light aircraft carriers in the Chinese fleet can be equipped with a total of 60 carrier-based aircraft, not all of them are F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters. There are also a similar number of SBD Dauntless dive bombers and TBF Revenge. or torpedo attack aircraft.

When the first wave of attack aircraft was released, all the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters on the two light aircraft carriers were already dispatched. If the Hellcats previously released were not recovered, there would be no fighter jets to be released again. Out.

Originally, in order to make this night bombing more powerful, Ramsay also suggested that the carrier-based aircraft on the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers be adjusted and all replaced with F6F Hellcats equipped with airborne radars. Carrier-based fighter jets.

As a result, although the aircraft manufacturing plant in the small logistics compartment is already working overtime, the production of carrier-based aircraft is not achieved overnight, and carrier-based aircraft alone are not enough. The radar manufacturing plant must produce enough Only with supporting airborne radar.

This means that the number of F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets equipped with airborne radar in the Chinese fleet is not very large. The total number of them is only 360. There is simply no excess to give The two light aircraft carriers were replaced, and the second wave of attack aircraft groups could only maintain a size of about 150 aircraft.

When the first wave of attack aircraft groups arrived over the pirate island, they began to take advantage of the cover of night to launch indiscriminate bombings of ground airports. At that time, the carrier-based aircraft of the second wave of attack aircraft groups that had also completed preparations had already taken off from the Yanhuang. The

Yanhuang did have two black technologies, the transmission platform and the mutant hangar, as well as the epoch-making The angled flight deck greatly improves the take-off and landing efficiency of carrier-based aircraft, but after all, it is taking off at night and it is the first time for the entire fleet. The take-off speed of carrier-based aircraft is slower than during the day.

When the first wave of attacking aircraft groups After dropping all the aerial bombs and rockets and returning one after another, the second attack group had all taken off and formed a huge formation, flying towards the pirate island.

On the way, two attack waves The pilots of the carrier-based aircraft met in the air. For a while, the public chat channel of the radio station was filled with various sounds. It was the pilots who were noisy in it, with everything from Versailles to envy, jealousy and hatred. Ye Bai heard My brains ached for a while.

The pirates, who had finally reacted, ran quickly towards the air defense positions and port terminals in disheveled clothes. They had just arrived at their destination and were ready for battle. The 150 people in the second attack wave An F6F Hellcat carrier-based aircraft flew over the island.

This time, these pilots were not so lucky. From many places on the island, bursts of flames suddenly erupted, and shells shot from the ground. It flew into the air from the position and exploded suddenly.

The hit rate of ground anti-aircraft guns in air-to-air shooting is not very high, especially at night, when there is no fire control radar to guide the target, and there is no black technology such as VT proximity fuze. If you want to shoot down a high-speed flying ship Carrying a fighter jet almost depends on luck.

But similarly, for the pilots of these F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, it obviously takes more energy to avoid the shells flying from the ground in the night sky, and mistakes can easily occur if they are not careful.

However, before arriving, they knew the situation on the pirate island and were fully mentally prepared. The moment they were attacked by ground anti-aircraft fire, the entire huge fleet quickly dispersed. Under the command of the officer, they headed towards Go with their respective goals.

The pirate island at this moment, not to mention its various lights, does not need intelligence personnel and Marines to light bonfires to guide the target. Just the five ground airports are still burning to this day. This is The best guide to the target location.

It's just that this time not all the carrier-based fighter jets are heading towards the five ground airports, only about half of the force, and their goal is no longer to bomb the runway, but to focus on bombing those munitions with some strong defenses. Depots, fuel depots, hangars, etc. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Under the current level of science and technology in the world of navigation, the requirements for aircraft takeoff and landing are not too high. Even if the runway is bombed with holes, 480 only needs to invest manpower and material resources. The repair will be completed soon, and at least there will be no problem in taking off and landing the fighter jets.

Only the complete blowing up of these ammunition depots, oil depots and even hangars will be the biggest blow to the ground airport. In a short period of time, the heavily damaged ground airport will no longer be able to exert its combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Nimitz's mission for these carrier-based aircraft pilots was very clear. The first round of bombing was to blow up the runway and the carrier-based aircraft parked outside, and destroy the pirates' possible air counterattack.

The subsequent bombings are specifically targeted at these important targets and are prepared to completely destroy these five ground airports.

"boom"、"boom"、"Boom!

There were explosions in the sky, underground, and the entire pirate island. Fireballs rose into the sky. They were particularly bright under the night conditions. F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets passed by at low altitude and high speed. The fuselage spewed out tongues of fire, plowing the entire ground, occasionally mixed with the baptism of a rocket.

The performance of the airborne radar currently equipped on the F6F Hellcat carrier fighter is still lagging behind It only achieved a zero breakthrough and solved a problem of presence and absence. It did not have an overly powerful function.

It’s just that these pirates were desperately shooting in the air at the moment. When they fired, the flames from the muzzles The flash, in this night, is so conspicuous that anyone who is not blind can see it. This guides the pilot of the Hellcat carrier-based fighter to the target.

Rounds of 12.7mm caliber machine gun bullets hit the ground like a violent storm. Sweeping across the air defense position, that guy was like hail falling, directly beating the pirates operating the anti-aircraft guns until they lost their arms and legs, with broken limbs and a lot of blood splattering everywhere.

Even those who raised their muzzles high The anti-aircraft guns, under the low-altitude strafing of the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, were also rattled by the dense rain of bullets, and the barrels became pitted...
