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

If Ye Bai was also at the port of the pirate island at this moment and heard the arguments among the leaders and leaders of these pirates, he would have discovered some of the highlights that would at least give him a deeper understanding of the past of the great maritime world..

But it is a pity that Ye Bai is still on the Yanhuang, 200 kilometers away. He has not appeared at the scene at all. Naturally, he cannot hear the debate between these pirate high-level officials. He has lost a deep understanding of the world of navigation. Insider Opportunities

"Come on, everyone, work harder and refuel the Hellcats as quickly as possible. They are going to attack again."

"Okay, the fuel is full and the ammunition is loaded. Hurry up and push the next Hellcat over."

"There's not enough fuel. Hurry up and deliver some oil barrels. Don't waste time preparing the fighter planes."

"What about the pilot? Have you rested well? Get on the plane quickly and get ready for battle."

……

In fact, it was not just the pirates who kept making noise. The warehouses of the three light aircraft carriers, including the Yanhuang, were also abuzz with people. A large number of ground crews and mechanics were constantly shuttling inside, oil barrels, ammunition The boxes even filled up each small trailer.

Compared with the other two brave-class light aircraft carriers, the preparation work of the carrier-based aircraft is obviously easier for the Yanhuang. There is no way, who made the hangar of the Yanhuang be modified by Ye Bai using space crystals? Yes, the area is too big.

There is a quite spacious space that can keep ground crews and mechanics busy without any interference from each other. The ammunition depot and oil depot are also close at hand. The key is that transportation is much more convenient, and the oil drums can be directly transported by truck. and ammunition boxes were transported 157, which saved a lot of time.

This kind of carrier-based aircraft preparation speed is completely unmatched by the other two aircraft carriers of the same light aircraft carrier class. Fortunately, they do not need to complete fuel and ammunition for more than 150 F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters like the Yanhuang. The supply was only about 30 aircraft. Although the speed was slow, the workload was relatively small, and the work was even completed before the Yanhuang.

The take-off speed of such a carrier-based aircraft has actually far exceeded the level of this era. Even in the late World War II in the history of the earth, it did not have such capabilities. However, the unpopular Ye Bai is still not satisfied. He also hopes to be faster. step.

The most important thing is that although these HNA carrier-based aircraft have excellent performance, they are still far behind compared to the land aviation fighters. Not to mention other things, their maximum take-off weight is much weaker.

The reduction in the maximum take-off weight also means that the amount of carrier-based airborne bombs on the aircraft carrier is much less than that of army aviation fighters. For the same bombing of ships and ground, army aviation fighters only need smaller numbers to achieve more. Big results.

Ye Bai has always been thinking about B-17、B-25、B-26 Even medium and heavy bombers such as the B-29, these bombers are already considered strategic bombers. The large-caliber aviation machine guns of up to 10 give the bombers a strong self-defense capability. Even if they are intercepted by fighter jets, they can fight in formation. , forming a dense firepower network.

As for the bomb load, it is even more terrifying. It is not just one or two. It is calculated in tons. The most powerful B-29 heavy bomber has a bomb load of 9 tons, and its range is even more terrifying. It is nearly 6,000 (acaj) kilometers, and even the maximum flight speed is close to 600 kilometers per hour, which is no slower than ordinary fighter jets.

B-These statistics of 29 made Ye Bai drool with envy. If the bombers on the Yanhuang were replaced by B-29s, it would not be so beautiful. You could truly experience what carpet bombing is. Even a battleship cannot carry it. Live under indiscriminate bombing by B-29s.

It's just that although the B-29 is very strong, its take-off requirements are not low. The Yanhuang's hangar has enough space to accommodate it, but the flight deck cannot bear it. It only reached a take-off altitude of 1,800 meters. The rolling distance is not something that an aircraft carrier can satisfy.

Not to mention that Ye Bai currently does not have the construction drawings of the B-29 bomber and cannot produce it. Even if he does, Ye Bai has no intention of producing it. After all, it is useless and he can only drool while looking at it.

These B-series bombers are indeed very powerful, but for Ye Bai, they are really useless. No matter how much he thinks about them, they are just lemons. Apart from the B-25 medium bomber, there are still some possibilities.

After all, Americans have done this before. They took off 16 B-25 bombers from the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier"Hornet" and launched the"Bombing Tokyo" operation that made all flower-growing Chinese applaud.

With a ready-made example in front of him, Ye Bai couldn't be tempted. Taking off under the most ideal headwind conditions, the B-25's takeoff and rolling distance could be shortened to 137 meters. This bomber aircraft carrier had to take off and take off. It's possible.

Ye Bai has already made plans. If there is a chance, he would not mind equipping the Yanhuang with B-25 bombers, just to replace the SBD fearless dive bombers. To be honest, with the advancement of technology, the purpose of dive bombers is It is getting weaker and weaker, and in Ye Bai's impression, there really is no more excellent carrier-based dive bomber.

Even the performance of the later-developed SB2C dive bomber in actual combat may not be much better than the current SBD fearless dive bomber. The biggest advantage should be that it can mount eight 127mm flechettes.

The topic is a bit far-fetched. Although the Yanhuang has all kinds of conveniences and the ground crew and mechanics are quite sufficient, it still costs a lot to replenish fuel and ammunition for 150 F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets. time, at least when the second wave of attack aircraft completed their bombing mission and returned one after another, the third wave of attack aircraft had not yet taken off from the deck of the aircraft carrier.

After the two rounds of attacks, the pirate island was in a mess. The ground airport was bombed to pieces. The oil depots of two ground airports failed to withstand the continuous bombardment of heavy aerial bombs and were completely destroyed.

In the raging fire, the leaked aviation fuel was ignited by the fire, making the fire more fierce. Even the ammunition depot faced the threat of high temperature, and was eventually detonated, forming a tragic explosion.

"boom"、"boom"、"The explosion power of ammunition depots and oil depots cannot be compared to that of aerial bombs. Not only the whole place was shaken, but huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky. Even the pirates who had already reached the port were It can be seen clearly.

With such a powerful explosion, the fate of the two ground airports can be imagined. Everything inside will be destroyed, whether it is the carrier-based aircraft or the pilots, they will be blown up. Shattered to pieces.

The ground air defense positions that were not attacked did not escape the bad luck. When the pirates operated anti-aircraft guns for air shooting, they had already exposed their targets. The pilots of those Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets were not used to it. Following them, they roared and launched rounds of dive attacks. In the end, they were naturally blown into ruins.

Although the second wave of attack aircraft in the sky was forced to return because they ran out of ammunition, the more than 100 ships under the sea The torpedo attacks of the Type XXI submarine never stopped.

One after another, 533mm diameter ship-based torpedoes flew out of the torpedo tubes, scurrying around the sea, and finally hit the pirate warship parked on the dock, exploding a A big hole.

A large number of pirates gathered on the dock, but no one dared to board the warship. Based on the frequency and power of explosions on the sea, they could easily judge that the number of submarines ambushing under the water at this moment was huge. Quite a bit.

Without anti-submarine capabilities, what could they do even if they boarded the battleship? Not to mention counterattack, they couldn't even escape by driving the battleship. Instead, they became a key attack target and sank into the sea together with the battleship. Among them.

Although this gang of pirates burned, killed, looted, committed all kinds of evil, and did not take the lives of other people in their hearts, but it was them who cherished their own lives, and did not want to die in vain.

The most important thing is that those The leading pirate leaders and leaders are still arguing, and they have not come up with a plan that can be accepted by the vast majority of people. Without the leadership of the leader, the current situation has been created. That is,

Ye Bai is temporarily not involved. He didn't know the situation of the pirates, otherwise he might have immediately ordered the fleet to set sail quickly and launch a landing operation.

On the Chinese fleet's side, after the first wave of attack aircraft was refueled and loaded with ammunition, The second wave of attack aircraft groups has gradually returned to the fleet and began to land one by one.

At this time, the advantages of the angled flight deck are reflected. It can complete the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft at the same time, and there is no need at all. It is very convenient to wait and coordinate.

Just when more than 30 F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets had just taken off from three aircraft carriers, the communications crew on the Yanhuang received an emergency message, which was sent by Nimi before. This was sent by the intelligence personnel sent to the pirate island.

It was this sudden urgent message that made Nimitz change his mind instantly and stopped the takeoff of the third wave of attack aircraft, but stayed on They were on standby in the hangar, waiting for follow-up orders and plans.

The content of the message was actually not complicated, and could even be said to be quite simple, but the content inside was completely beyond the expectations of Ye Bai, Nimitz and others, and had to be The original battle plan has been changed.

The previous tasks of this group of intelligence officers were not complicated. They only needed to find out the five ground airports on the pirate island, and before launching the attack, light bonfires to guide the carrier-based aircraft groups in the air to attack targets.

Therefore, after successfully completing this mission, the intelligence personnel and the Marines who assisted them quickly evacuated to avoid being accidentally injured by their own carrier-based aircraft. Staying near the airport can easily be bombed..
