Not long after the warships on the dock stopped fighting, the land battles between the pirates on the island also ceased fire one after another. They all gathered together and looked at the messy battlefield with corpses and wounded people wailing in pain. Everyone looked a little dull. ,in silence.
After the internal strife between the pirates completely stopped, about two hours later, the large group of submarines blocking the port channel slowly moved out of the way, and warships with navigation lights on slowly sailed into the dock. When they saw the arrival of these warships, all the pirates understood that this was the appearance of the force that attacked the island.
At this time, if these pirates are bloody, they can actually launch an attack immediately. Although the final result will definitely be that they are all sunk, they can at least give the opponent a certain blow.
It's just a pity that pirates are pirates after all. No matter how cruel and bloodthirsty these pirates are during normal robberies, treating other people's lives as child's play, when the matter falls on them, most of them will The pirates were all cowed. They were as obedient as quails and did not dare to resist at all.
Naturally, the first one to arrive would not be the main fleet with the Yanhuang as its core. Although many people in the command tower, including Nimitz, judged that the pirates' coastal defense artillery fortress should be empty, and the fleet would not be encountered when it docked. Attack from shore defense artillery.
But everything has a contingency. Who knows whether these shady pirates will have a hand in hand and want to cause the main fleet to come close to it. Other warships will be fine. If the Yanhuang is severely damaged, then it will be a disaster. Big loss.
Therefore, the entire main fleet is anchored in the sea 100 kilometers away from the pirate island. It is estimated that they have not entered the detection range of the ground radar station on the pirate island. Only the first team led by Langsdorff actually docked. There are about 30 warships in the fleet.
In addition to these 30 serious warships, there are also as many as 10 transport ships. These transport ships carry a large number of sailors and fully armed Marines. Their task is quite simple, that is, they are responsible for taking over All pirate warships, disarm these pirates.
More than 30 warships swarmed up, and the black muzzles were pointed firmly at the pirate force's warships. If there was any accident, they could fire immediately. There were more submarines watching in the periphery.
Faced with this situation, the pirates were already thinking of surrendering and did not want to fight anymore. The pirates who only wanted to save their lives dared to play any tricks. They did not dare to make any move and could only watch one by one. Marines and crew members boarded their ships and took over various departments.
First, a large number of torpedoes were released by 160 XXI submarines of the 4-submarine formation for a sneak attack. Later, due to disagreements among the pirates, large-scale internal strife broke out. The entire pirate fleet actually suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention other things, in terms of number, there were originally more than 100 pirate battleships on the island, but now there are less than 20 left, and all other battleships are gone.
Small and medium-sized warships such as destroyers and light cruisers were parked on the outermost edge and their armor was quite weak. They withstood the main attack from the submarine formation and had been sunk long ago.
The heavy cruisers and battlecruisers inside were not much better. Although the battleships were not sunk by any one of them, the hull was scarred, and the fire ignited in the superstructure was not destroyed by the pirates until now. put out.
The funniest thing is that the injuries on the main battleships of these pirates have nothing to do with the Chinese fleet. They were all caused by the pirates themselves during the civil war. This is very funny.
In the entire pirate fleet, the only ones that have not been affected by the war and are still intact are the three light aircraft carriers. After all, this is a night battle, and the pirates' carrier-based aircraft do not have the ability to fight at night and are unable to participate in the battle.
What's more, even if the pier is brightly lit and a large number of searchlights illuminate the entire pier as if it were daytime, it is actually suitable for carrier-based aircraft to participate in the battle. However, these three aircraft carriers are docked with other warships, and it is not even close to them. Not an exaggeration.
If a carrier-based aircraft were sent to take off to join the battle, the other main warships would probably immediately turn their guns and beat the aircraft carrier hard. By then, the aircraft carrier would not be hit, and it would be the first to sink.
Of course, Nimitz knew that there were only about 20 warships left in the entire pirate fleet, but he still dispatched as many as 10 transport ships, a large part of which were Marine Corps officers and soldiers temporarily recruited by Ye Bai. The purpose was of course to directly Make a landing and occupy the entire pirate island.
When Ye Bai was recruiting these Marines, he was secretly glad that he had made a lot of money in the activity space of [Operation Broken Diplomacy] last time. A transport fleet he once captured contained a large amount of land and sea. combat equipment.
At that time, Ye Bai looked down upon these land warfare equipment and felt that they were of little use. After all, the world of navigation was a world of naval warfare, and there was no need for ground combat. These land warfare equipment could only be weapons placed in a small space. It's just eating ashes in the library.
But at this moment, Ye Bai realized that his situation was too small. Even in a large maritime world dominated by naval battles, ground battles would still occur. Land warfare equipment and army power also played a significant role.
With the emergence of the scientific research center, the acquisition of construction drawings for various warships, and several technological upgrades rewarded by the system, the capabilities of the shipyard's experts and engineers have improved a lot, allowing them to develop a ship from scratch. Warships with excellent performance may be too difficult for them, but there is still no problem in allowing them to make certain modifications and optimizations to the power systems of existing ships.
Especially for civilian ships such as transport ships, it is easier to modify their power systems. Anyway, Ye Bai does not need to keep any technical secrets. He directly and generously installs the power equipment used by battleships on these civilian ships, making the transport ship's speed faster. It's greatly improved.
Although due to the hull structure, hull strength, etc., these modified transport ships cannot run at a high speed of more than 30 knots like battleships, they can still maintain a speed of more than 20 knots. Compared with the mere speed of that knot, But it's more than doubled.
It was also because of the need to take care of the speed of these transport ships that it took so long for the First Squadron to arrive at the pirate island. Their enthusiasm subsided, leaving only the terrified and frightened pirates to suffer for a longer time.
Taking over more than 20 pirate warships went quite smoothly. The real trouble was actually after landing on the pirate island. There were still a lot of pirates on the island. These guys had weapons in their hands. If they didn't clean them up, it would be very difficult. It is prone to some safety hazards
"`Bang"、"boom"、"Bang!
Clear gunshots rang out on the island. It was a suicide attack by some pirates who were completely driven into madness in despair. Fortunately, Ye Bai and Nimitz were well prepared and specially mobilized 10 transport ships to carry the cargo. A large number of Marines landed on the island, otherwise there would have been a lot of casualties. It was a pity that there were no special landing craft, otherwise Ye Bai would have to use the tanks and armored vehicles captured before, which would not be enough for these guys.The failed pirate learns a vivid lesson.
The sporadic attacks by pirates are nothing to the well-prepared Marines. They just waste a lot of time. After all, some parts of the island are dark and have poor visibility, making it difficult to attack them in the first place. If you find something wrong, you can only explore slowly step by step. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The key point is that these pirates are also quite thieves. They actually mixed in with a large number of plundered slaves and took the opportunity to make a sneak attack, leaving many Marines unprepared. He was shot in the dark.
But no matter what, judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Chinese fleet has an absolute advantage. The Marines who landed on the island did not rush to occupy the entire island. Instead, they fought steadily and step by step.
The reason is simple. All the pirates' warships were either sunk or captured, and were of no use any more. No matter how hard they struggled, the pirates still on the island could not change the overall situation. Even without warships, It is impossible to escape from the island.
To put it bluntly, it was just a trapped beast still fighting, so the Marines were not impatient at all and slowly cleaned up. If they encountered anyone who dared to resist, they would immediately shoot them with a hail of bullets and beat them into pieces.
For those pirates who surrendered honestly, the Marines did not kill them. They just confiscated their weapons and temporarily detained them. They were detained separately from the plundered slaves (Li Nuo's) until they were completely captured. After the entire island was cleaned up, we started to deal with it slowly.
However, dealing with these matters is the business of Zhou Guolai and his political officials. They, the soldiers, only need to fight the war.
But other things can be slow, but there is one thing that cannot be delayed at all. After capturing some pirates, especially those high-ranking pirates on the battleships, Langsdorff immediately asked people to interrogate these pirate leaders and leaders, and learned from their mouths The distribution and specific locations of the coastal defense artillery fortresses on the island were revealed.
Then a large number of Marines immediately set out to occupy these coastal defense artillery fortresses one by one, eliminating the last major hidden danger to the Chinese fleet.
Indeed, as Nimitz had guessed, because it was night, these coastal defense artillery fortresses were almost empty, with not even one on duty ready for combat, and they were easily occupied by the Marines who landed on the island.
Good news kept coming back to Langsdorf. After learning that all the coastal defense artillery fortresses were occupied, he was completely relieved. At least he no longer had to worry about being hit by suddenly flying shells.
Although Langsdorff is not sure that these occupied coastal defense artillery fortresses are all the coastal defense forces on the pirate island, even if there are still some that have slipped through the net, they are probably only a few. For the Chinese fleet, the formation of No more threats..
