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

The warships of the two squadrons were not seriously damaged in the battle. After all, the small fleets were almost all small and medium-sized warships. Their combat effectiveness was limited and they could not deal too much damage, except for serious damage caused by luck. Except, the rest are minor injuries that can be simply repaired.

It's just that Ye Bai thought that the Yanhuang had already transformed into a base anyway, so it couldn't be wasted. He took advantage of this opportunity to put these damaged warships into a small space, receive repairs, restore them to their most complete state as soon as possible, and participate in the reception. Down fighting.

After solving the defense fleet at the resource point and the main fleet mobilized by Bimiko's plan, the next battle will be easy to fight. As long as it waits until dawn, the Chinese fleet can go straight to Yuntong Island for the final battle.

Yes, in Nimitz's plan, attacking Yuntong Island was the last step, and he was absolutely sure that Yuntong Island could be snatched from the hands of Island No. 308.

Ye Bai once mentioned whether he could take the opportunity to attack Island No. 308. After all, the opponent's main fleet was almost completely wiped out. Only the defense fleets at several resource points near Island No. 308 were left, as well as those who stayed behind on Island No. 308. There are less than 50 warships on the small island.

With the strength of the Chinese fleet, especially the black-tech Yanhuang, if we really want to fight, there is no chance.

However, this suggestion was once again rejected by Nimitz, and he gave quite detailed reasons.

First of all, there are nearly 2,000 carrier-based aircraft parked in the ground airports on Island No. 308. These carrier-based aircraft take off from the ground airport, which is far more efficient than taking off from an aircraft carrier, just like the one on Yuntong Island. Generally, even under desperate measures, 1,000 carrier-based aircraft can be taken off in one breath.

It is also quite terrifying for such a huge carrier-based aircraft group to really fly over the Chinese fleet. The 730 aircraft carriers in the entire fleet combined can at most fly 400 carrier-based aircraft at one time to compete with the opponent. In comparison, it's still half the difference.

Even if the carrier-based aircraft equipped by No. 308 Island are weaker in performance than the carrier-based aircraft equipped by the Chinese fleet, with their numerical advantage, they can at least be successfully contained.

Without the air cover of the carrier-based aircraft fleet, relying on the 100 or so warships of the Chinese fleet, they not only have to face the dozens of remaining warships on Island No. 308, but also need to face the large-caliber coastal defense in the coastal defense artillery fortress. There is really not much certainty that we can win the cannon attack.

The most important thing is that Nimitz has never forgotten the threat of a larger number of players. This time he lured the snake out of the hole and almost annihilated the defense fleet and main fleet of Island No. 308 in one go. A large number of player battleships recruited from the island are already on their way back to Island No. 308.

Otherwise, relying on the appeal of the aboriginal force on Island No. 308, at least hundreds of players can be recruited to participate in the battle, the Chinese fleet may not be able to go so smoothly.

In other words, even if we can win the final victory and achieve the campaign goal, we will probably pay a heavy price in casualties. How can we not be like now without a single battleship sinking?

Therefore, Nimitz's suggestion was to first completely occupy Yuntong Island, and then use the two shipyards on the island and the three shipyards in the small space to start full-scale construction, expand the size of the Chinese fleet as much as possible, and at the same time see if Can it replace the original Yuntong Island aboriginal forces and attract a group of players to join them?

Even if these players do not choose to join the camp of the Chinese Fleet, they must remain neutral and will not choose to join the camp of Island No. 308 again. This is a great victory for the Chinese Fleet.

Even though the plan was successful, Nimitz still remained clear-headed and cautious enough, and did not fall into a hot-headed state. He was even able to pour cold water on Ye Bai. No wonder this guy was rated as a naval marshal by the system. , indeed there are two brushes.

After being persuaded by Nimitz, Ye Bai calmed down and no longer wanted to capture Yuntong Island and Island No. 308 in one go. Instead, he prepared to fight steadily.

After successfully occupying the pirate island, Yanhuang got an opportunity to upgrade and became the high-tech warship it is today. At that time, Ye Bai ordered the three shipyards in the small space to start working at full capacity to build warships on a large scale.

These include 3 Nelson-class battleships and 3 Prestige-class battlecruisers, and the remaining 24 slipways are assigned the task of building light and heavy cruisers and destroyers.

Originally, Ye Bai was thinking about building a few Ark Royal class light aircraft carriers, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. The number of warships in the Chinese fleet is not large yet. If too many aircraft carriers are produced, there will not be enough warships to escort the aircraft carriers.

Leaving aside the capital ships whose construction period is too long, the construction period of other small and medium-sized warships is not long. For example, the Fletcher-class destroyer only takes 5 days to build, the Brooklyn-class light cruiser takes 10 days, and the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser The cruiser only takes 12 days.

After this naval battle, the first batch of warships under construction have been launched one after another. Even the Fletcher destroyer with the shortest construction period has been built in two batches, and the third batch is already halfway built on the slipway.

The total number of these newly built warships is almost 40. With a few capital ships, a squadron can be formed again. However, these warships did not join the Chinese fleet's combat sequence, but stayed in a small space. Among them, none of them participated in this battle.

According to Nimitz's prediction, the size and strength of the Chinese fleet are enough to complete this combat mission. Secondly, the construction of the destroyers is basically completed. Even the Brooklyn-class light cruisers were completed just the day before yesterday. Yes, joining the Chinese fleet does not give enough time for training, and secondly, it will not play a decisive role.

Even now, Nimitz is not prepared to let Ye Bai release these newly built warships. He can wait until Yuntong Island is occupied, and then use these new warships and the fully repaired captured warships to form a guard fleet and patrol. fleet.

Of course, this is just a rough idea of ​​Nimitz's current situation. The specifics still need to wait until the Chinese fleet actually captures Yuntong Island to see if there will be any changes to the rules of the system, and then make a decision.

Ye Bai supported Nimitz's idea with both hands. Not only that, he also asked Zhou Guolai to build two more shipyards in the small space to further enhance the shipbuilding capabilities in the small space.

As long as he is given enough time and a small space as a logistics base, he can completely pull out a large fleet. Even if Island 308 recruits all the nearby players, he will not be afraid.

The warships that needed repairs entered the small space, and the remaining intact warships also arranged a defensive circle around the Yanhuang. One by one, the warships entered a blackout state and began to rest in batches.

Anyway, the Yanhuang in base form is equipped with a large number of high-power searchlights, which illuminate the entire Yanhuang and even the surrounding sea area as if it were daytime. There is no need for the limited lighting provided by these warships. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In the center of the war situation, Ye Bai happily returned to the captain's cabin to sleep. Nimitz also left the officer on duty, and he himself also went to rest. He has been working hard these past few days. He has hardly had much rest. He is always paying attention to the battle between Yuntong Island and No. 308 Island. Now he can finally relax a little.

It's just that other people can rest, but Heydrich can't. Among the officers and soldiers of the 308th Island Fleet who were captured this time, there are some generals. They can be regarded as the top military leaders of the 308th Island. They might be able to master it. With some top secret information.

As the head of the intelligence department, Heydrich would certainly not miss this opportunity. He led the intelligence department personnel to interrogate these senior officers overnight, hoping to uncover some valuable intelligence.

Other personnel in the intelligence department and the interior department also did not rest. They needed to register the information of all captives in the shortest possible time and complete basic file records to facilitate subsequent distribution and disposal.

This is no longer the first time for these things. Strict regulations have been formed. Now it is just a step-by-step process, but it takes a lot of time.

After sleeping comfortably until dawn, Ye Bai, who arrived at the war center after breakfast, heard an unexpected piece of information.

That was last night, because after learning the news that the defense fleet and the main fleet sent to support were completely annihilated, the remaining personnel staying on Yuntong Island couldn't do anything.No longer caring about continuing to clear out the remaining militants on the island, they made an emergency evacuation, took a transport ship, and left the Yuntong Island port terminal under the protection of dozens of warships.

Although they didn’t know where these guys wanted to go, the first submarine formation that had been operating in the waters outside Yuntong Island port had no intention of letting them go. Under the cover of night, 40 submarines dived one after another. , launched a torpedo attack on the evacuated island battleship No. 308.

The number of remaining battleships on Island No. 308 is indeed very small, less than 50, but the number of transport ships is quite terrifying. There are hundreds of them. So many battleships are in vain. To be honest, with 40 It is simply impossible to sink all of the Type XXI submarines.

However, as the commander of the first submarine formation, Lieutenant Commander Prien made a bold decision to let all the submarines launch all the torpedoes in the six torpedo launch tubes on the bow in one go.

Such an order also means that before these six torpedo launch tubes have completed the reloading of torpedoes, the first submarine formation will lose all attack power and will no longer be able to pose any threat to surface ships..
