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

It can fire heavy artillery shells with a diameter of 800mm. The weight of the artillery shells is up to 7 tons, and the maximum range is 47 kilometers. This power is terrifying when you think about it. Even if a battleship is hit by one, it seems that the damage to its armor value is not great, but its The weight of the shell can directly penetrate the armor belt of the battleship, enter the interior of the ship and explode.

Under the secondary damage, the actual damage figure of the battleship's armor value will soar. If you are lucky, it directly penetrates the ammunition compartment and explodes inside, which may even cause the explosion of a large number of propellant packs. Once it enters the soul, it is possible to instantly kill the opponent's warship.

Of course, not all of the powerful Gustav cannons have advantages. Under such powerful power, what is covered up is its weight of 1,350 tons and its inability to maneuver quickly.

But this shortcoming is not a problem at all for Ye Bai. It is placed directly in the coastal defense artillery fortress formed by using space compression technology. No matter how heavy the weight is, it can be ignored. As a coastal defense artillery, to put it bluntly, it is fixed. It's just an artillery piece, it doesn't need to move at all, so what's the impact of its slow movement speed?

But it's a pity that it's not that easy to make this thing. Without ready-made construction technology as a reference and learning, I don't know how much time it will take to rely on the abilities of scientists for self-development. It can only be used as a temporary backup plan.

Before the naval gun production factory can produce the required 406mm guns, only some 381mm diameter naval guns can be installed in the coastal defense gun fort that has completed the transformation for emergency use. 11 cannot really run naked. Well, as for the 343mm naval gun used on the Lion-class battlecruiser, which has also mastered the relevant manufacturing technology, Ye Bai has directly given up on it, and has no intention of equipping it.

Anyway, for the coastal defense artillery, it only serves as a final line of defense. If the opponent's fleet really reaches the base, it means that the Chinese fleet and a large number of carrier-based aircraft have been almost wiped out. The shore defense artillery can How long will it last?

Unless a large number of anti-ship missiles are directly equipped in the base, it may be possible to reverse the situation of the war.

At the beginning, Zhou Guolai only needed 3 days to complete the construction of the two ground airports and provide basic defense power for the base. As a result, he stayed here for 6 days, not to mention the two ground airports. Even all the coastal defense gun fortresses and air defense positions have been transformed and equipped with other naval guns and anti-aircraft guns in addition to the 406mm naval guns.

Having achieved this step, to a certain extent, the required defense network has been built under the base form of the Yanhuang. Even without the protection of the surface ships of the Chinese fleet, some fleets that are not strong enough want to start a war and will suffer a loss. Also the other person.

It was not until the seventh day that Heydrich hurried to the war situation center and reported to Ye Bai, Nimitz and others the latest information from the No. 308 Island Intelligence Station, saying that the No. 308 Island had mobilized a large number of warships to go to sea. , I don’t know whether to seize resource points or attack Yuntong Island directly.

According to repeated inquiries by intelligence personnel, accurate information was still not obtained. However, according to their relationship in the chamber of commerce, their chamber of commerce also received an order to mobilize a large number of transport ships in advance and wait for subsequent orders.

As intelligence personnel, all they need to report is the intelligence they have collected. There is no special reason and they do not need to provide their own guesses and analysis to avoid causing wrong influence on senior officials.

With these two pieces of information, Nimitz just thought about it briefly and came to his conclusion. Ninety percent of Island 308 was aimed at resource points and wanted to take advantage of the fleet's numerical advantage. , seize those resource points in the outer sea and weaken Yuntong Island's soft power.

Nimitz's statement was unanimously agreed by Lütjens, Langsdorff and others. After all, this conclusion is not difficult to draw. As long as the people on Island 308 are ambitious, this is their only choice, unless they want to We must directly engage in a decisive battle and attack Yuntong Island head-on.

But let’s not talk about whether Yuntong Island can be captured by such a direct frontal attack. The losses of the attacking fleet on Island No. 308 will definitely not be too small. Don’t forget that there is a pirate force watching covetously next to it. If not, it will be The pirates made wedding clothes.

Although the two aboriginal forces on Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island did not know that the pirate force that they had jointly suppressed for a period of time had been completely annihilated by Ye Bai with the Chinese fleet, they ushered in a group of equally powerful pirates. Let the Chinese fleet also have the idea of ​​​​competing between river clams and fishermen to benefit.

Now that the fleet on Island No. 308 has been dispatched, the Chinese fleet can no longer stay here. It needs to set sail quickly and get as close to Yuntong Island as possible in order to respond to changes in the situation in a timely manner.

As for whether the existence of the Chinese fleet would attract the attention of the two indigenous forces, Ye Bai and Nimitz were not too worried. First of all, the more advanced radar provided more powerful detection capabilities.

Secondly, once the fleet sent out by Island No. 308 takes action, the one with the upper hand will inevitably be Yuntong Island. According to the rules of the system, the Chinese fleet is only in a hostile state with Yuntong Island, and on Island No. 308 In the Identification Friend or Foe system, it is still in a neutral state, which should not cause too much vigilance.

What's more, according to Nimitz's previous plan, after Island No. 308 seizes the resource points on Yuntong Island, they will need to send a large number of submarines to block various waterways, and the Chinese fleet will also need to deploy in advance, otherwise it will be The Type XXI submarine has a speed of less than 20 knots. God knows how long it will take to reach the designated location.

Fortunately, after the upgrade of the Yanhuang, in addition to the battleships needing to be in the base mode to enter and exit the small space, it is much more convenient for these submarines to enter and exit the small space. They can enter and exit freely regardless of the battleship mode or the base mode, and do not need to deliberately stay in the base. The shape saves a lot of effort.

On the 8th day after capturing the pirate island, the Yanhuang transformed into a battleship form again, sailed away from the pirate island with the brand-new Chinese fleet. This time, Ye Bai did not stay on the island. Getting off any warship is just a deserted island anyway, and it doesn't mean much to Ye Bai who has a small space as a logistics base.

If the fleet is to be left to guard the island, it is impossible to leave only one or two destroyers. Otherwise, when attacked, it will only be a waste of life. , not cost-effective.

If you want to truly protect the pirate island, you need to leave a main fleet including battleships and aircraft carriers. With the current size of the Chinese fleet, such a force can indeed be achieved, but it is not necessary.

Because it will be involved in the dispute between Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island, the current scale of the Chinese fleet is still not enough. How can it weaken the strength of the fleet?

Anyway, even if there is not a single warship left on the pirate island, after Nimitz's plan is completed and one of the islands No. 308 and Yuntong Island is occupied, he will naturally be able to free up his hands and mobilize the main fleet to attack. , and recaptured the pirate island.

A total of 103 warships of the Chinese fleet were moving mightily on the sea, occupying an extremely wide sea area. The momentum was quite huge, but it was divided into three smaller fleets.

They all stayed near the pirate island for 7 days. The captured pirate warships had already completed the repair work and regained their combat capabilities. However, not all of these warships were included in the battle order of the Chinese fleet..

Nearly 10 warships, including 3 Ryūjō-class light aircraft carriers, still remain in the small space, waiting for their fate to either be sold to other players 873 or aboriginal forces, or to form an escort fleet for a transport fleet in the future.

Only the 2 Dunkirk-class battleships, 3 Kongo-class battlecruisers and 10 Kagero-class destroyers have been added to the Chinese fleet. After all, the war is about to begin. I am worried that the number of battleships is not enough. The performance of these battleships It's still barely bearable. It can increase the strength of the fleet to some extent, so let's use it for the time being.

However, after this war is over, Ye Bai will definitely eliminate all these warships and replace them with warships with better performance, unifying the standards of the warships under the fleet to facilitate logistics supplies and warship maintenance.

After all, if you want to repair these warships now, you don't just need repair materials from the system mall. Magical things like repair materials have long been completely canceled by the system.

Nowadays, once a battleship is damaged, it can only be sent to a shipyard for repairs, and various spare parts are needed to replace the damaged ancillary equipment on the battleship. This requires various factories in small spaces to produce a batch of battleship spare parts in advance as backup.

If there are too many types of warships in the fleet, the pressure on logistics will be great, and they must be unified. Some spare parts can even be used universally, which greatly reduces the pressure on logistics.

The new Chinese fleet not only includes the previous main fleet and the first squadron, but also captured pirate warships that were repaired and those warships rewarded by the system. All of them have been equipped with sufficient crews and officers. After several days of training, Familiarity and training ensure basic combat effectiveness.

The new Chinese fleet has a total of 103 warships, which were divided by Nimitz into three small fleets, namely the main fleet, the first squadron and the second squadron. This time Lütjens finally got his wish and became the first fleet. The fleet commander of the squadron, and Langsdorff became the fleet commander of the second squadron. At the same time, Nimitz concurrently served as the fleet commander of the main fleet as the chief of staff of the Chinese Fleet Command..
