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

The behavior of these transport ships made the officers on the warships almost couldn't help but curse. There were countless submarines lurking in the sea outside the port. The torpedo attack was obviously to block them in the port.

From a military point of view, if you don't know the specific strength and plan of the other party, you must go against the other party. The less the other party wants to do what the other party does, the more it should do it.

Therefore, even though these officers knew that there were submarines blocking the door outside, they still continued to give orders for the fleet to continue attacking. They did not believe that there would be hundreds of submarines ambushing outside.

With the hundreds of ships in their fleet, if the number of submarines is too small, they will not be able to block it at all. They will definitely let themselves and others break out. As for how much damage will be caused during the breakout process, that is no longer important..

But, after only two rounds of attacks, the cowards of the transport fleet gave up and returned to the port dock like a coward, refusing to attack again at all.

The crew of the transport ship refused to cooperate, and the officers were a little embarrassed. The number of submarines outside was unknown, but judging from the intensity of the two rounds of attacks, there were at least dozens of them.

If there were not a larger number of transport ships as cannon fodder and shields for the"380", it would not be impossible to break through the blockade with just their remaining dozens of warships, but they would inevitably pay a heavy price.

The defense fleet at the resource point and half of the main fleet sent to support were completely annihilated, which greatly weakened the military strength of Island No. 308. At this time, there was simply no way it could bear greater losses, otherwise the top management would also They will not be ordered to give up the occupied Yuntong Island and evacuate overnight, just to save these dozens of warships.

As a result, who would have thought that there would be a large number of submarines ambushing the sea off Yuntong Island, just to block the port.

I don’t know who attacked them this time. Not only did they have a huge submarine force during this period, the fleet was also quite powerful. They attacked the defense fleets of multiple resource points at the same time, and they still had enough strength to attack the mixed fleet. , now actually has the ability to block Yuntong Island, it is really too powerful.

Although they were quite curious about the identity of the attackers, these officers also knew that now was not the time to consider the identities of these people. Instead, they should find a way to break through the blockade and return to Island No. 308.

They tried again, trying to call on the transport ships to break out with them, but the crew of the transport ship, who had already been frightened out of their courage, now ignored the military orders and just docked at the port dock, shivering on the transport ship.

In desperation, these officers had no choice but to make one last attempt, which was to gather all the remaining warships and a small number of transport ships that were bold enough and willing to break out with them to form a small fleet and use forced ventilation to quickly break out.

It's just that the speed of the ships has just increased, and they are greeted by another round of 120 533mm diameter heavy torpedo attacks. Prien's previously saved hand came in handy at this time.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

The explosions completely defeated the courage that the crew of the transport ship had finally mustered up. They fell into deep panic and directly drove the transport ship to turn around and escape back to the port terminal.

This time they tried to break through. The number of ships in the blockade has been greatly reduced, which has reduced the torpedo attack hit rate of the first submarine formation, but the effect is quite good.

Especially the remaining warships, except for a few warships at the rear of the fleet, escaped In addition to being unscathed, the warships in front were hit by more than one torpedo. Although they were not directly sunk due to their thick armor, several large holes were opened in the hull.

A large amount of seawater continued to pour in from the broken mouth. If the officers and soldiers on the battleship had not been prepared and closed the nearby cabins as soon as possible, the damage to the battleship would have been more serious. Once again, a large number of people were encountered The torpedo attack finally caused the officers in the fleet to make the most serious misjudgment. They mistakenly believed that there were too many submarines ambushing outside and formed several defense lines. They wanted to use this to make up for the large amount of time required to reload the submarine torpedoes. The flaw of time.

According to their analysis and judgment, it is quite rare to have an underwater killer like a submarine at this time. Naturally, it is impossible to have a submarine with advanced performance. At most, it is a basic version of the initial submarine..

In their memory, this basic version of the initial submarine takes 10 to 20 minutes to reload a torpedo. This time will vary depending on the proficiency of the submariners, but it is basically within this range. Within the range.

Counting from the time they were attacked by the first round of torpedoes, 40 minutes have passed. This is enough time for the submarines that launched the first round of torpedo attacks to load 2 to 3 torpedoes, or even If the submariner's proficiency is high enough, they can load 4 torpedoes.

What this means, anyone who is not an idiot can imagine it, that is, if they continue to break through, they will inevitably be attacked by a large number of torpedoes..

The transport ships that came out with them were either sunk in the torpedo attack just now, or they have fled back to the port in despair. They are the only ones who have not evacuated yet, but they are the only ones with less than 50 warships.

No more Under the cover and obstruction of the transport ships, all the torpedoes that hit again will definitely fall on their warships. You must know that there are at least more than 100 torpedoes, and their warships cannot withstand it. At least those destroyers and light ships with weak armor value The cruiser will definitely not be able to withstand it, which means that in the process of breaking through, I am afraid that all small and medium-sized warships are very likely to sink. Only those battleships with thick armor can successfully break through.

This Suddenly, the officers in the fleet had disagreements. Of course the captains of the small and medium-sized battleships did not want to rush anymore. This was tantamount to using their lives to open up a safe passage for those capital ships. They could Not so great.

Of course, the officers on the main battleship want to continue to break out. Even if they encounter torpedo attacks, with the strength of the ship's hull and thick armor value, they have a great chance of successfully breaking out.

The opinions of both sides could not be unified, and there was even a stalemate. At this time, the mandatory orders from senior officers no longer worked. After all, it was related to their own lives and deaths. Therefore, when communication failed, these warships also chose to turn around and return to sail again. Back to the port of Yuntong Island....

Through the naked eye observation of the sonar system, radar receiver device and periscope, Prien finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that all ships of the 308th island evacuation fleet had turned around and returned home. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There is no way, the scale of this evacuation fleet is too huge, they only have one First Submarine Formation here with only 40 Type XXI submarines, even if all the Even if all the torpedoes are fired, there is no way to sink all the ships.

Now I just used the advantage of rapid reloading of torpedoes to scare the gang on Island No. 308. Fortunately, most of the opponent's huge fleet are not soldiers, otherwise they may not be able to stop them. them.

While ordering each submarine to continue loading torpedoes and restoring combat effectiveness, he sent the situation here back to the Yanhuang via the radio, hoping that the main force of the fleet could arrive as soon as possible.

When this telegram was sent to the Yanhuang, Nimitz had already rested. The officer on duty did not dare to neglect and hurried to wake Nimitz and report the information urgently.

After reading the telegram, Nimitz was a little surprised. He secretly lamented that these aboriginal forces responded really quickly and were so willing. In order to preserve their vitality, they even directly occupied Yuntong Island, which they had occupied at great cost. give up.

This decisiveness made Nimitz look a little higher, but it also made Nimitz determined. He was even more unwilling to let go of this fleet and wanted to keep them all.

While Ye Bai was soundly asleep, Lütjens set off directly with the entire First Squadron and some battleships in the main fleet, including the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers.

Nimitz's order to them was to sail through the night and strive to reach the waters outside Yuntong Island before dawn, and cooperate with the first submarine formation to block all the remaining warships on the 308th island in the port dock.

There are a lot of ships left in the Yuntong Island port terminal, but most of them are just transport ships without any combat effectiveness. There are less than 50 real warships. After special reinforcement, they have also reached the scale of 50 ships. With the cooperation of the first squadron and the first submarine formation in 5.6, it is not too difficult to complete this task.

And in order to prevent the remaining ships on Island No. 308 from making a desperate attempt to break through again, relying on the 40 submarines of the First Submarine Formation that could not stop them, allowing them to break through the blockade, Nimitz also specially sent two additional ships to the First Squadron. A Valiant-class light aircraft carrier.

The purpose of joining these two light aircraft carriers is to launch carrier-based aircraft to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding waters immediately after dawn, confirm the evacuation route and specific location of the No. 308 Island Fleet, and facilitate the pursuit of the First Squadron.

At the same time, it can also let the main fleet know the situation, dispatch in time, and intercept it. In a word, all the warships in the fleet on the 308th island cannot escape, and all have to stay in this sea area. , it will either be sunk or captured, there will be no third situation.

This was what Ye Bai encountered when he came to the war situation center the next day. If it weren't for the fact that there were battleships undergoing repairs in the small space and needed to be released again, and the transformation of the Yanhuang's shape also required Ye Bai By personal operation, Nimitz transformed the Yanhuang into a battleship form yesterday evening and set off with the First Squadron..
