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

Not only was a new squadron number added, but the squadron's organization was also changed. There was not much change in the main body, but some battleships were added.

The main fleet still has the Yanhuang as its core, including an aircraft carrier fleet of 1 Ark Royal class and 2 Valiant class light aircraft carriers. It has 1 Nelson class battleship, 2 Renown class battlecruisers, 2 Baltimore class heavy cruisers, 4 There are 3 Brooklyn-class light cruisers, 4 Southampton-class light cruisers, 10 Fletcher-class destroyers, and 10 Kagero-class destroyers, a total of 37 surface ships.

The First Squadron is not the squadron before Langsdorff, but a newly formed one. It is mainly composed of captured pirate battleships and battleships rewarded by the system. It has 2 Dunkirk-class battleships, 2 Renown-class battlecruisers, 5 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, 6 Southampton-class light cruisers, 20 Kagero-class destroyers, a total of 35 surface ships.

The Second Squadron was originally Langsdorf's First Squadron, but because Lütjens was older and had more credit, it was reorganized into the Second Squadron and some battleships were added.

There is no battleship, but a Lion-class battlecruiser is still used as the flagship. It has 3 King Kong-class battlecruisers, 4 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, 6 Brooklyn-class light cruisers, and 20 Fletcher-class destroyers, for a total of 31 A surface ship.

It can be seen from this division of fleet organization that the main fleet is mainly based on long-range carrier-based aircraft for long-range strikes. At the same time, because of the special shape of the Yanhuang battleship, it is fully capable of acting as a powerful battleship in naval battles. When used, when necessary, it can immediately transform into a battle fleet capable of close-range artillery combat.

The First Squadron is a real battle fleet, used to confront the opponent's fleet head-on, or to attack the island under coastal defense artillery fire. The Second Squadron has become a cruise fleet to assist the other two fleets in combat. of.

However, Nimitz specifically mentioned that when necessary, the battleships and battlecruisers in the main fleet can be mobilized to join the Second Squadron, instantly turning it into a force inferior to the First Squadron. powerful fleet.

In addition to about 100 surface ships, the brand new Chinese fleet also has an underwater wolf pack of 200 ships. These XXI submarines are divided into 5 combat formations and usually stay in small sea areas. Among them, when needed, it is directly transmitted to the outside sea surface, and the concealment is quite high.

Of course, such many warships would not sail together. Instead, Langsdorff took the lead with the Second Squadron and opened a distance of about 20 kilometers from the main fleet and the First Squadron in the rear as the vanguard fleet.

After all, in the world of navigation, warships may appear in the surrounding sea areas at any time, especially NPC pirate warships that are randomly refreshed by the system. No one knows when or where they will appear.

Even with the detection capabilities of the radar system, under normal circumstances, it is possible to control the situation of surface ships in the surrounding 70 kilometers of sea area at any time, but there is no common sense in the system's cards. According to the statistics compiled by some boring players, these NPC pirates Battleships are often refreshed in any sea area 20 kilometers away from the player's battleship.

This method of random refresh has not been complained by players so far, because the impact is not big. After all, the effective detection range of the radar system equipped on the player's battleship is only about 30-40 kilometers, unless you are very unlucky. , is really refreshed within the shortest range of 20 kilometers. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, these refreshed NPC pirate warships are outside the detection range of the player's warship radar system.

It's just that it's not very friendly to the Chinese fleet. The fleet was sailing well on the sea, but who would have thought that a pirate fleet would suddenly appear within the detection range of the radar system.

Not to mention 20 kilometers away, even 50 kilometers away is a bit uncomfortable, especially since the Chinese fleet was an aircraft carrier fleet with aircraft carriers as the main attack force, even if the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar have already been prepared The preparation work is completed and it is ready to take off at any time.

However, when the distance is so close, it is simply unrealistic to release a large number of carrier-based aircraft. Only some carrier-based aircraft can be dispatched, and then combined with the power of surface ships for combat.

The key is that when the system refreshes NPC pirate warships near the player's warship, it will often be judged based on the player's current warship strength. Considering the size of the Chinese fleet, the corresponding pirate fleet is not small.

If this appeared at such a close distance, it would be a big threat to the Chinese fleet. Fortunately, Ye Bai had been very lucky before. If there was no systematic NPC pirate fleet that appeared within such a close range of the Chinese fleet, it would often be is outside the radar detection range.

But now, the Chinese fleet is estimated to have expanded a lot. The main force for artillery warfare that has been lacking - battleships - has also reached three. This does not include the Yanhuang, which also has or even exceeds the capabilities of ordinary battleships. Even if it is a large force A large NPC pirate fleet spawned in the waters too close to the Chinese fleet. Ye Bai did not hesitate and just faced it head on.

Otherwise, the Dunkirk-class battleship and the King Kong-class battlecruiser, two battleships with not very good performance, would not be noticed by Ye Bai at all, let alone join the battle order of the Chinese fleet. , to put it bluntly, they were all forced.

Ye Bai did have good luck before, but no one can guarantee or be 100% sure about luck. If there is not enough preparation, and an NPC pirate fleet is really spawned near the fleet, then he will suffer a loss.

In order to continue to strengthen the fleet's close-range artillery combat capabilities, the three shipyards that have been built in the small space are working intensively to build brand new battleships. The number of Nelson-class battleships and battlecruisers alone has reached the number of ships.

However, while the performance of these two battleships is stronger, they also require longer construction time. The Prestige-class battlecruiser takes 24 days, and the Nelson-class battleship takes even longer, with a construction cycle of 30 days.

That is to say, in the world of navigation, there is such an outrageous construction cycle. If it were changed to the real world, it would take a year and a half to produce a battleship and a battlecruiser without even thinking of launching it. How could it be possible in a month? The construction is completed.

This time is already quite short. However, Ye Bai is too ambitious and the construction speed of battleships can no longer keep up with his plan. He has to equip the capital ships captured from pirates to improve the strength of the fleet as much as possible..

If you don't really look down on the Ryukyu-class aircraft carrier, you have to equip it.

With Langsdorf leading the Second Squadron, whenever other warships or fleets are detected in the surrounding area, the Identification Friend or Foe system will give the most accurate information and use the data link function of the combat situation center to transmit it..

Although the Yanhuang is only equipped with a level 8 radar, the effective detection range to the sea is still only 70 kilometers. However, a black technology product such as data link allows the war situation center to share the radar systems on all warships of the entire Chinese fleet.

Such a black technology is equivalent to a disguised increase in the detection range of Yanhuang's radar system by 20 kilometers. No wonder Nimitz and the others stayed up all night and have been studying in the war situation center. Such an ability is indeed worth it..

The radar detection results were transmitted to the war situation center, and various departments quickly launched operations to confirm the opponent's size, type of warship, speed, course, and friend-enemy relationship in the shortest possible time. Nimitz used this information to quickly issue orders. issued different combat orders.

Any Blue Star player warship that belongs to the same camp can simply change its course and go around. Anyway, with the radar system currently equipped on the player's warship, as long as you are willing, you can pass them by silently. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And if you encounter an alien player warship or a pirate warship, there is nothing to hesitate. Langsdorff’s Second Squadron is used for this. , more than 30 warships swarmed up, and with the cover and assistance of carrier-based aircraft groups taking off one after another from several aircraft carriers, they directly attacked it.

The distance from Pirate Island to Yuntong Island is not that close, it is almost more than 2,600 kilometers. The Chinese fleet sailed here intermittently, and several naval battles broke out almost every day.

Those alien player battleships are okay. After all, they are not big in scale, and the level of the battleships is not much higher. They are basically heavy cruisers and light cruisers. There is not even a battlecruiser, and there are almost none. Destroyer delusion.

This size and strength are not enough for today's Chinese fleet. They don't even need the main fleet and the first fleet to take action. Just a second squadron can kill them, unless the battleships of alien players are There are too many, several times that of the First Squadron, otherwise they would not be able to hold on for long.

Only those pirate fleets would pose a certain threat to the Second Squadron. In this case, Nimitz would certainly not let Langsdorff fight independently. In addition to reducing the speed of the main fleet and flying a large number of carrier-based aircraft to provide air cover In addition, Lütjens's First Squadron also needs to move forward immediately to support the Second Squadron.

Under the attack of two squadrons and a large number of carrier-based aircraft groups, the fate of these pirate fleets was not much better, and they were sunk one by one.

Later, Nimitz even sent out the submarine force and used most of the warships of the Chinese fleet to train and run-in the Chinese fleet. The effect was simply overwhelming.

As soon as the main fleet on Island No. 308 was dispatched, the intelligence station on the island temporarily lost its function, because they did not have the ability to grasp the movements of this main fleet and related information..
