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

From the sea area where the Chinese fleet is currently located to the battlefield, with the 30-knot speed of the two squadrons, it will take a full 2 ​​hours to reach the battlefield. By the time they arrive, it is estimated that the one on the island No. 308 will The fleet has been bombed into a disabled state and has little ability to resist.

This kind of finishing work, which is almost like cleaning the battlefield, actually does not require dispatching two squadrons at all, only one of them is needed.

It's just that the tasks of the two squadrons are not easy. They not only have to rush to the battlefield to take care of the finishing work, but more importantly, they have to clean up the small fleet in the sea along the way.

This small fleet also belongs to Island No. 308, but they are not the main fleet, but defense fleets stationed at various resource points.

These defense fleets encountered a sneak attack by a submarine formation last night and suffered heavy losses. Under the orders of the main fleet commander, they fled the resource point overnight and rushed to this sea area to gather and wait for the support of the main fleet.

Although these defense fleets received the same orders, due to distance and voyage, they were not all able to merge with the main fleet. Only a part of them completed the rendezvous with the main fleet after dawn. Now a large number of ships are They were barely surviving under the indiscriminate bombardment from carrier aircraft.

The remaining defense fleets gathered together and formed a small fleet. While overhauling the warships, they rushed to the sea area where the main fleet was located to completely merge.

This small fleet has been discovered by the Chinese fleet a long time ago. Not to mention the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, even the level 8 radar system has detected their existence, and there is no way to hide it.

However, at the beginning of the war, the Chinese fleet placed its attack target on the main fleet and did not pay attention to this small fleet for the time being. After all, the warships in this fleet were all light cruisers and destroyers, with only a small number of heavy ships. There is not even a main battleship in the cruiser, which is really a bit disdainful.

Moreover, many of these warships still have large holes in their hulls, which were blown out by torpedoes launched by the submarine formation, and they are no longer in peak condition.

Now the bombing of the main fleet is almost done. Of course Nimitz will not let this small fleet go. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. The meat is brought to the mouth, so you can't stop eating it.

The officers and soldiers of the Island Fleet No. 308, who were already in dire straits and struggling for survival, did not know that the Chinese fleet's attack power was far more than that. Those who had completed the night sneak attack mission and lured the main fleet of the Island No. 308 Island out of the clouds. Tongdao's submarine formation has also arrived around now.

Because of their slow speed, these submarines arrived late and were not far from the battlefield. Nimitz calculated after only a brief thought that by the time these submarines arrived at the battlefield, the battle was probably over..

Rather than letting these submarines run in vain, it is better to build a blockade directly outside the battlefield to block any warships that want to escape. However, Ye Bai specifically emphasized that the player warships can leave, but the warships on the island No. 308, No one can be spared.

With such an arrangement, the officers who were stunned by the large number of carrier-based aircraft bombardments wanted to evacuate immediately, and the idea of ​​​​escaping back to Yuntong Island was completely impossible to realize.

Putting aside the semi-disabled warship, it cannot compete with the speed of the carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky. Even if it escapes from the war zone, it will still face underwater attacks from submarines. It is not that easy to leave.

The small fleet composed of the escaped resource point defense fleet was originally preparing to join the main fleet. However, on the way, it received a telegram from the main fleet, saying that the main fleet encountered a large number of carrier-based aircraft. The bombing caused the small fleet to temporarily stop its advance and stand by as a reserve force.

Therefore, this small fleet temporarily stopped on the sea, waiting anxiously for orders from the main fleet.

They are all professional soldiers, and of course they understand that the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Island 308 side. Some officers who know part of the inside story are even more panicked.

The combination of these two factors, submarines and a large number of carrier-based aircraft, shows that a powerful mysterious force has entered this sea area and is attacking their fleet on Island No. 308. The ultimate goal is naturally to capture Island No. 308. Island and Yuntong Island to enhance their own power.

In the world of navigation, there are many forces that can do this. Not to mention the large forces that occupy large islands, even the more powerful medium-sized forces have this ability.

But no matter whether it is a large force or a medium-sized force, it is not something that small forces like their island No. 308 can fight against, and the results seem to have been marked.

It's just that officers and soldiers like them are relatively better off. If they are lucky enough to survive, they will become prisoners at most. Maybe they can be absorbed into the army and return to their old profession. Maybe their future development prospects are not optimistic, but at least their lives are safe.

Even some of the more pessimistic officers have been secretly considering whether to hoist the white flag and surrender as soon as the opponent's main fleet arrives, leaving a good impression on the new master.

As a result, when Lütjens and Langsdorf arrived with more than 60 warships from the First and Second Squadrons 10 kilometers away from them, all the officers were stunned with the help of telescopes.

These officers were not surprised by the appearance of this hostile fleet. After all, the radar on the battleship had successfully detected it, and they were prepared.

However, under naked eye observation, the battleship mast of the mysterious fleet was hoisted with the flag of country Z. Originally, they were not familiar with this flag, but with the intervention of the system, they could not even think of not being familiar with it, because this flag represented This mysterious and powerful fleet turned out to be under the command of a certain player.

These officers and soldiers with not too high status may not know what it means that such a powerful fleet comes from a certain player, but it does not prevent them from being surprised.

Before they had any specific reaction, fires flashed in the distance, followed by bursts of roaring, and then small black dots roared across the sky and fell into the fleet.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom" waited until the dense and violent explosions sounded, and some warships were even hit by cannonballs. Only then did these guys react. This was a war period, and the fleet on the opposite side was still their enemy. If they didn't fight quickly, they would still be here. I don’t think so.

After the orders were passed, all the officers and soldiers took action and entered their respective posts. When the fleet fully accepted After five rounds of naval gun salvos, they finally launched the first round of salvo counterattack. The close-range fleet artillery battle officially began at this time, but they had lost the advantage of being the first mover. The performance of the warships, The numbers and levels were all at a disadvantage. In addition, some warships in the fleet were damaged by torpedoes launched by the submarine formation and were not in complete condition. It would be a disadvantage in a fight. The First

Squadron and The Second Squadron together has 2 battleships and 6 battlecruisers. It is not easy for such a powerful weapon to face a fleet composed entirely of light cruisers and destroyers. After only a moment of fighting, the small fleet One side could no longer hold on, and the destroyers with the weakest armor were sunk first. Due to the long distance, these destroyers were blown to pieces before even a single torpedo was fired. The remaining light cruisers were And a small number of heavy cruisers were not much better. Facing the naval gun attacks of 8 main battleships with main gun calibers of 300mm, these light and heavy cruisers performed better than those destroyers and persisted longer. It's just a little bit, it's of no use.

In this kind of fleet artillery battle, if there are no warships of the same level to contain the firepower, the weaker side will not be able to take advantage at all.

Each warship is covered with scars The unextinguished fire slowly sank into the sea. The officers and soldiers on the other battleships who were still fighting felt sad, and many of them had lost their fighting spirit.

Not to mention the ordinary people on the battleship. The soldiers, even the officers, had complicated thoughts, especially those officers who wanted to surrender from the beginning. They originally thought that the attack on them was the main fleet spear from a large or medium-sized force. The ending was almost the same. Under clear circumstances, they didn't mind surrendering voluntarily and trying to join the opponent's fleet, but they guessed wrongly, and the ones who came were not the main force of such a large or medium-sized force (good Zhao).team, but a subordinate fleet of a certain player.

This made the officers who wanted to surrender feel as if they had eaten flies. It was not because of anything else, but because they were no strangers to the existence of players and had come into contact with them a lot.

But those players are not taken seriously by them at all. When they are usually on the island, they officers are even the objects of flattery by those players, trying to please them in every possible way and want to get some benefits from them.

Now asking them to surrender to these players, the huge gap in their hearts made these officers unable to accept it for a while, and naturally they were unable to surrender.

Lütjens and Langsdorf didn't know that these officers would be so entangled in their hearts, even because of the flag hanging on the mast. When they found that the other party had not surrendered for a long time, they naturally would not be polite and increased their firepower. Ground cannon fire.

Although Lütjens and Langsdorf received orders to annihilate this small fleet, in their minds, the main fleet in the distance was their real goal, and this small fleet was not enough. of.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible and rush to the main battlefield, the two squadrons naturally could not waste too much time here. They did not even send out signals to persuade them to surrender, but always maintained strong attack firepower..
