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

What's more, according to the command, the landing on the island must be carried out steadily. There is no need to rush at all. First, seize the pier and the known coastal defense artillery forts, advance slowly, and wait until dawn before launching a full-scale attack.

As long as it waits until dawn, if nothing else, a large number of carrier-based aircraft can take off and provide strong air support to the ground troops landing on the island. No matter what kind of powerful enemy they encounter, after the aerial bombardment of the carrier-based aircraft group, Xiadu will be reduced to ruins.

Langsdorff's task was even simpler. He took over the 20 or so pirate warships that chose to surrender and stopped moving. With a large number of submarines, he blocked the entire port area and would not let a single warship sneak away. Not even traffic boats.

That night, there was almost no interruption of gunfire on the pirate island, but it was all sporadic. Only one or two shots were heard occasionally. There was no fleet, no coastal defense artillery fortress, and no ground airport. To be honest, these pirates who were stubbornly resisting were actually at their wits end.

The Marines who had already landed did not attack aggressively. Instead, they stayed near the dock and occupied the surrounding areas. They did not continue to advance and waited for dawn before continuing the operation.

This waiting time does not take long. After all, when Langsdorf arrived at the port terminal with the First Squadron, it was already around 2 o'clock in the morning. When the Marine Corps landed on the island and initially occupied the entire port, It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was actually only a few hours until dawn. They were all professional soldiers who had received professional training, so there was no problem in staying up for a few hours.

In fact, there was still an hour before dawn, and the gunfire on the island had almost stopped. After struggling for most of the night, the surviving pirates almost knew the outcome and had no will to fight.

After dawn, more than 100 carrier-based aircraft took off from the Yanhuang and two Brave-class light aircraft carriers on the sea about 100 kilometers away from the pirate island, and flew toward the pirate island in a mighty manner.

This time, the aircraft launched from the aircraft carrier were no longer all F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, but were paired with dozens of TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft. This time, the carrier-based aircraft were not launched to attack surface ships, but to attack surface ships. It is an attack on the enemy.

Therefore, the SBD fearless dive bomber, which could only carry one 700KG and two 45KG aerial bombs, was eliminated and replaced by the TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft. After all, the TBF torpedo attack aircraft can not only mount aerial torpedoes, but also It can also carry 4227KG level aerial bombs, which is more suitable for bombing ground targets than the fearless type.

(PS: In fact, the classic configuration of the SBD fearless dive bomber is to mount a 457KG-level aerial bomb on the pylon under the fuselage and a 45KG-level aerial bomb on each side of the wings, but here the author Jun made certain modifications and directly reached the maximum bomb load. The aerial bombs under the fuselage were changed to 700KG level.)

The Marines who had landed and occupied the port dock also began to attack the hinterland of the island. , a large number of heavily armed soldiers attacked along various roads. Each team carried a radio and could contact the carrier-based aircraft group in the sky at any time and request air support.

Ground airports, resource points, shipyards, radar stations, military factories, air defense positions, etc., all important military and civilian facilities were easily occupied by Marine Corps soldiers.

The pirates were captured in dejection one by one, put down their weapons, and were put under centralized custody. During the attack, although there were still pirates who were unwilling to fail and tried to resist, they were simply not enough to face the Marines.

Perhaps the only ones who were a little unhappy were the carrier-based aircraft pilots in the sky. They got up from bed early in the morning and flew their fighter planes over the pirate island. As a result, they did not fire a single shot or throw a single bomb. The battle ended and they returned successfully, which made them a little unhappy.

Although the pilot was still unsatisfied, everyone else in the entire Chinese fleet was smiling. Especially Ye Bai, the commander of the fleet, waved his hand and gave all the fleet personnel a month's military pay as a reward.

There is no way. The results this time are too brilliant. More than 20 pirate warships were captured, including 3 light aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, and 3 battlecruisers, which directly expanded the number of main warships in the Chinese fleet. It doubled the number of ships and made up for the lack of battleships in the fleet.

The most important thing is that the entire pirate island was occupied by the Chinese fleet. All the pirates who resisted were shot on the spot, and the remaining ones were temporarily detained. Except for a few generals, They will have the opportunity to join the Chinese fleet and shed blood for Ye Bai. The remaining ones will become mining workers at various resource points, using their physical strength to atone for their previous actions.

At the port of the pirate island at this moment, not only were the 31 warships of the First Squadron parked, but even the 20 or so warships of the main fleet were rushing all the way under the command of Nimitz and docked smoothly.

Ye Bai spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of Marine Corps soldiers for this operation. With the help of transport ships, these soldiers landed calmly, occupied the entire island, and controlled the situation. It was very unexpected. The high-ranking pirates and leaders who were captured did not hide anything, and confessed all the coastal defense artillery fortresses on the island, which made Langsdorf worry in vain for a long time.

Zhou Guolai, Speer, Langsdorff, Lütjens and Ramsay were all dispatched at this moment, leading their men to the pirate island to conduct statistics on various resources and materials (afeg) and clean up the pirates. We are very busy with the technology, reserve equipment, etc. in our hands.

Nimitz sat on the Yanhuang and personally commanded the entire Chinese fleet. In addition to temporarily forming 5 patrol fleets to patrol the waters surrounding the entire pirate island, 2 submarine formations with 80 XXI-type submarines were also dispatched. , their mission is to keep an eye on the surrounding sea areas and report immediately if anything happens.

Carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft in the sky are even more indispensable. More than a dozen carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft conduct aerial reconnaissance around the island from the air, and the range has been expanded to the surrounding 300 kilometers of sea area.

Although they have successfully logged in, many things on the island have not yet been dealt with, and the resources and materials have not been inventoried. The island has not yet been completely occupied. At least there is no prompt message from the system.

Most of the entire Chinese fleet was busy with their own affairs. Only Ye Bai became the idler. He just sent the captured pirate warships into the small space of the logistics cabin and did nothing.

Almost all of the more than 20 captured pirate warships were survivors from the previous pirate internal strife. The hulls were damaged in many places and could not be sent to the battlefield again without some repairs.

Including the three unscathed Ryukyu-class light aircraft carriers, Ye Bai did not stay outside, but teleported them together into the small space of the logistics cabin. He needed to discuss with Nimitz to determine the subsequent organization of the fleet. Later, unified distribution will be carried out.

That's right, the three light aircraft carriers captured from the pirates were not Brave-class, but Longxiang-class. After checking the rough data of this light aircraft carrier from the system panel, Ye Bai had already marked them in his mind. A fork.

With a displacement of 15,000 tons, a top speed of 28 knots, and a maximum capacity of 50 carrier-based aircraft, Ye Bai has completely ignored it. To be honest, the Longxiang-class light aircraft carrier is indeed an aircraft carrier built by a kid. This performance is really a stretch.

In Ye Bai's opinion, this kind of performance is only slightly better than the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier. Compared with the Brave-class light aircraft carrier, it is far behind. Ye Bai really doesn't want to equip the Chinese fleet with this aircraft carrier. If it is replaced by After becoming a Canglong-class aircraft carrier, Ye Bai might still hesitate. The Longxiang-class aircraft carrier is really not good enough.

Not only aircraft carriers, but also battleships made Ye Bai too satisfied. The Dunkirk-class battleships were not very good battleships. The main gun caliber was only 330mm and the speed was 31 knots. It can only be said that it was better than the battlecruisers. But it's also limited. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As for the three battlecruisers, Ye Bai could still be barely satisfied. The King Kong-class battlecruiser, of course, in order to exaggerate his own strength, the little devil insisted on counting them. When it comes to battleships, unfortunately in the world of navigation, the system will not tolerate these beasts and directly includes battlecruisers.

It has a displacement of less than 30,000 tons, a maximum speed of 28 knots, and is equipped with 4 twin 356mm guns, 16 152mm secondary guns, 12 single-barreled 76mm anti-aircraft guns, and a rather strange 8 530mm diameter torpedo tubes.

This data is far behind the Prestige-class battlecruiser currently equipped by the Chinese fleet. It is almost the same as the Lion-class battlecruiser. It does not need to be taken too seriously, but it is okay to temporarily equip it in the fleet and use it as a transitional battleship..

Of course, when Ye Bai saw this data, he knew that the King Kong-class battlecruisers equipped by this group of pirates were the initial version, not the upgraded version after modernization and modification. If it were replaced with the upgraded version, it would almost be It has reached the standard of a battleship, except that the caliber of the main gun is a little smaller.

Ye Bai almost didn't pay attention to carrier-based aircraft or anything like that anymore. Look at what they are all about, the 99th ship-based bombing, the 97th ship-based attack aircraft, and the Japanese-style equipment of Yisui. The performance is quite impressive. Ye Bai only chooses equipment when he is confused. However, if he can get the corresponding construction drawings as a technical reserve, Ye Bai will not refuse..
