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

Although the area of ​​Yanhuang in base form is not as large as that of the Pirate Island, it is not too small either. It would take several hours to travel through the entire space on two legs, and Ye Bai did not want to suffer this.

Therefore, I directly asked the Marines following me to go into the small space and drive a few cars out. Firstly, it was used as a means of transportation. Secondly, I also wanted to personally verify whether it was convenient to enter and exit the small space.

Unlike Ye Bai, who only wanted to seek transportation tools, Zhou Guolai gave a few special instructions before the Marines left. Finally, when the vehicles drawn from the small space drove out of the steel gate behind him, they were not just a few vehicles at all. Instead of cars, it was a whole long convoy, with a lot more people and equipment.

The appearance of the convoy made Ye Bai confused. Fortunately, Zhou Guolai gave an explanation in time:"Commander, this base needs to be maintained for at least 3 hours. We cannot waste this time, just in time for the engineers, engineers and experts to Explore the entire ground base and plan the specific locations of ground airports, ground radar stations, coastal defense artillery fortresses and ports."

"If possible, I would like to start construction now. After all, it is still wartime, and everything is for the war. It allows us to transform the base form, and there is not much time and opportunity for leisurely construction. We must seize the time.."

Ye Bai nodded. He had no objections to Zhou Guolai's arrangements. He was indeed a professional, and the 08 things he considered were much more comprehensive than those of a layman like him. With the addition of a large number of people and equipment, Zhou Guolai no longer followed Ye Bai. Bai was wandering around, but acted as the commander of the scene, instructing the logistics personnel to work together and perform their duties. The only ones who had the leisure to wander around were Ye Bai and Nimitz.

For these two people, they don't know much about logistics, so the focus is naturally on the military aspect. The first thing they go to investigate is the situation at the seaside.

Although the coast is still deserted, there is not even a pier or berth. , still needs to go through construction, but it is directly connected to the small space sea area, allowing warships to enter and exit directly, regardless of whether there is a berth.

Looking at other warships in the distance, Ye Bai said softly:"Nimitz, Should we take advantage of the current expansion of the base to release all other warships, slowly deploy personnel, and start training first?"

The other warships Ye Bai mentioned are nothing else, but the fleet rewarded by the system after occupying the pirate island. Originally, these warships could be directly manifested by Ye Bai to the outside sea. As a result, this Once the Yanhuang was upgraded, the system actually put these reward warships into a small space.

The most important thing is that now it is not as convenient for warships to enter and exit a small space as before. They can enter and exit anytime and anywhere with the help of the teleportation platform system, but they can only enter and exit in a small space. It is only possible in base mode, and the entry and exit points are also fixed on the coast.

With such restrictions, Ye Bai certainly wants to release these battleships while Yanhuang is still in base mode, otherwise If they are converted into battleship form again, these battleships will not be able to get out for a while.

Nimitz nodded directly and said:"Okay, although we have not yet set a specific organization plan for the fleet, but put these battleships first There is no problem when it comes out. You just need to equip each warship with some personnel to maintain the operation of the warship. After the specific personnel configuration is sorted out, you can add more."

"The surrounding sea areas are monitored by us, and we can be informed of any dangers in time. The more than 50 warships of the main fleet and the first squadron also have strong combat effectiveness, which is enough to cope with it, and there is no need for them to participate in the battle."

After saying this in one breath, Nimitz paused slightly, his bloodshot eyes flashing with wisdom, and said faintly:"What's more, according to the information from the intelligence station, Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island are We are still in a stage of testing each other, and the conflict has not completely broken out yet. It is not suitable for us to enter directly now, and we need to stay here for a while."

A look of understanding flashed across Ye Bai's face. He had actually heard Nimitz's subtext. Apparently during the meeting yesterday, his request to the military was to first come up with the fleet's reorganization plan and the personnel for the new warships. Equipment.

As a result, these few people spent a whole night studying the new system in the combat situation center and did not perform this task at all. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as dereliction of duty. Of course, Nimitz, a smart man, must arrest him. Let me take the opportunity to explain.

Nimitz wanted to tell Ye Bai that there was no need to be too anxious. Before the war between Island 308 and Yuntong Island started, their plan could not continue to be implemented, and they could only wait and see for the time being. Therefore, there is still plenty of time.

Ye Bai shrugged his shoulders, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and he felt much more relaxed. Since even Nimitz thought that there was still plenty of time, there was no need for him to rush. Now, the most important thing is to use this dormant time to improve the defense in the base form and the service of the new warships as much as possible.

With Nimitz by his side, there is no need to provide a special personnel list. Ye Bai only needs to open it. The system panel recruited crew members one by one from the system based on the data provided by Nimitz.

As soon as these newly recruited crew members appeared, Nimitz conducted a preliminary grouping of them and divided them into more than 30 people according to the organization of the battleship. As soon as the team was fully assembled, the entire team set off immediately, entered the small space, took over the new warship, and then drove it out.

When the last group of crew members left the coast on foot and headed towards the cave, the people in front There was a sudden change in the sea area, and a huge warship suddenly appeared. There was no recruitment in advance, and it looked so magical.

"Kagero-class destroyer."

For this newly appeared warship, Nimitz just took one look and immediately recognized the identity of the other party. It was one of the 20 Kagero-class destroyers rewarded by the system this time.

Taking over this brand-new warship , the smaller it is, the easier it is to become familiar with, and the fewer crew members are needed, so it is not surprising that it appeared on the coast first.

This Kagero-class destroyer just appeared in the waters along the coast, and immediately brought a group of Streams of black smoke streaked across the sea and headed towards the blank sea area not far away. This was the assembly point set by Nimitz for these new warships. Next, they needed to get familiar with the warships at their feet here.

Farther away, there are warships of the Chinese fleet cruising. This is also the order Nimitz gave to all the warships in the fleet with the help of the war situation center before going out with Ye Bai. The main fleet and the first squadron All merged into a huge supervision, canceling the original establishment of the two fleets, and being under the direct command of the Fleet Headquarters. Relying on the Yanhuang in the form of a base as the core, a two-layer defense system was built.

2 Brave-class light aircraft carriers, A Lion-class battlecruiser and two Prestige-class battlecruisers were anchored not far from the coast. As the personal escort of the Yanhuang, a lot of carrier-based aircraft took off from the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers for reconnaissance. The situation in the surrounding sea areas.

Because the Brave-class light aircraft carrier has only a small number of carrier-based aircraft and only a mere 4 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, the F6F Hellcat has been released to serve as a guest reconnaissance aircraft. (Read Baoshuang novels , just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This is also a helpless move. After the Yanhuang is converted into a base form, there is no channel for the carrier-based aircraft in the small space to be released, and it is impossible to send out a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. , unless the ground airport is built.

This is why Zhou Guo is so anxious back and forth, seizing every opportunity and refusing to waste a single second. It is because the Yanhuang is really too fragile in the base form and has no chance of fighting. Ability.

Outside the core point, there is a second defense circle composed of 6 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers and 10 Brooklyn-class light cruisers, forming a circle to protect the Yanhuang in the center circle. On the outermost periphery are many Up to 30 Fletcher-class destroyers are constantly cruising, serving as patrol ships and the first line of defense. In this way, a three-layer defense system of far, middle and near is established, which was also invented by Nimitz The battle group with the aircraft carrier as the core has jointly established a large-depth, multi-level, and concentrated firepower offensive and defensive system.

In addition to these surface ships, there are also a large number of submarines surrounding them. They exist as hidden killers and are not only responsible for monitoring The surrounding sea area can make up for the monitoring blind spots of surface ships. When necessary, it can also pre-emptively launch torpedo attacks and provide early warning in other ways.

Of course, this is not wartime, and the several layers of defense circles have not reached the Nimitz level. The imagined distance of tens of kilometers is only maintained at a distance of less than 10 kilometers, which can not only provide timely early warning, but also shrink at any time to enhance concentrated defense forces. The reason why the defense layer must be placed so far away is In the final analysis, the Yanhuang is now unable to take off and land carrier-based aircraft. For air defense, it can only rely on the limited carrier-based fighters on the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers.

The level 8 radar system equipped on each warship has an effective air detection capability of only 140 kilometers. Placing the destroyer in the sea nearly 30 kilometers away from the Yanhuang as a warning sentinel can detect carrier-based aircraft in the air one step ahead, giving China More reaction time for fleets.

Before Zhou Guolai completes the construction of ground airports and air defense positions, all defense forces must rely on other warships of the Chinese fleet. Unless the scientific research center makes breakthrough progress in the research of land-based radars and equips them first, otherwise, for the time being, JustThe defense is deployed in this way.

Of course, Ye Bai didn't know that there were so many twists and turns behind Nimitz's previous orders at the War Situation Center. After witnessing warships leaving a small space and appearing on the coast, he could be regarded as Don't worry, although there are restrictions on the battleship's entry and exit into the small space, there are no serious consequences, and it is still acceptable..
