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

"Nimitz, can we capture these two battleships?"

No wonder Ye Bai is so excited. Now Yamamoto Isoroku's main formation has been almost wiped out. Only the two battleships Yamato and Nagato are left, and they are also surrounded by the interception fleet. There is no possibility of breaking out.

Ye Bai once thought that one day he could drive a battleship developed and built by the Japanese to turn around and fight against the Japanese. It would be a wonderful scene. Now that he has the opportunity, he certainly wants to fight for it.

Although it is small The equipment of the Japanese is somewhat difficult to describe, especially land warfare weapons, which are even more eye-catching. We can produce such strange equipment as the Xiaodoutin tank, and it can only be used to show off its power on the Asian battlefield. If it really is released In the European battlefield, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed every minute. Even the old man could easily handle the little devil. In the Battle of Nomenkan, the little devil was beaten to the head by Zhukov and his head was bleeding. He never dared to raise the issue again. Going north, the navy gained the upper hand, attacking Pearl Harbor and heading south to Southeast Asia.

Not only did Ye Bai despise the little devil's land warfare equipment, but he actually also despised the naval equipment. If this were changed In the real world, he would not have this idea at all. The"890" is a Yamato-class battleship with a full load displacement of more than 70,000 tons. It is also equipped with nine 460mm caliber main guns. From the data point of view, it is very powerful, and even more It is claimed to be the most powerful battleship in the world.

But in fact, due to limitations in steelmaking capabilities, smelting technology, armor technology, artillery technology, communication technology, radar technology, etc., the Yamato-class battleship has no paper data in actual combat. So powerful.

Compared with the Iowa-class battleships, the Yamato is obviously thicker in armor, larger in tonnage, larger in artillery caliber, and more in number of weapons.

However, the weapons of the Little Devil are generally less powerful. Its self-developed 460mm diameter The naval gun is similar to the 406mm 50-caliber main gun equipped on the Iowa-class battleships. In terms of maximum range and bombardment power, they are actually very similar.

In addition, in terms of communications, anti-aircraft firepower, and radar, the Yamato-class The battleships are far inferior to the Iowa-class battleships. If there is a one-on-one battle between the two, the winner will definitely not be the Yamato-class of the little Japanese.

But, this is not the real world, but the world of navigation, with Constrained by the rules of the mysterious system, many of the shortcomings of the Yamato-class battleships have been made up for. Whether it is smelting technology, naval gun technology, armor protection, etc., they have been greatly improved, reaching their paper data.

This is for the Yamato-class battleships It can be said to be an epic enhancement. Except for communication, anti-aircraft firepower and radar systems, all other aspects have become stronger.

If it is in the world of navigation, in the system rules of engagement Under the restrictions and constraints of Japan, if a Yamato-class battleship competes with an Iowa-class battleship in a duel, the winner will definitely be a Yamato-class battleship.

Among the entire Japanese Navy equipment, there are not many that Ye Bai can take a fancy to, even if It was a Zero fighter, but Ye Bai didn't even take a fancy to it. After all, he already had the Zero's nemesis, the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter, and really didn't need the Zero fighter anymore.

But after receiving system enhancements, the Yamato-class battleship He can still see it. Coupled with the advanced radar technology currently mastered by the Chinese fleet, the modified Yamato-class battleship can really be called the strongest battleship.

Of course, there is another piece of equipment in the little devil's navy that Ye Bai sees in his eyes. Even without systematic strengthening, it is still very powerful, and that is the Caiyun carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft.

As the highest-speed model installed by Japan during World War II, the"Caiun" from Nakajima Aircraft Company was a rare bright spot in Japan's dilapidated naval aviation in the late World War II. The 2,000-horsepower high-power engine gave the aircraft a high The speed of 650 kilometers per hour was enough to throw off any opponent in the Pacific Ocean at that time.——"The best evidence is the telegram"There is no Grumman behind us to pursue".

Throughout World War II, the performance of carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft in various countries was not very strong. It can only be said that it solved the problem of having and not having it. This little devil's The Caiyun carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft also stood out.

In the world of navigation, reconnaissance issues are very important. In the period when advanced radar systems such as phased array radar did not appear, carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft were the fleet's long-distance reconnaissance aircraft. The key.

As the best carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft during World War II, Caiyun is also what Ye Bai longs for. But now, the Caiyun carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft has just been approved, and the little devil is working hard to develop it. According to the time in the copy space Duan, there are still 2 years until it is officially equipped with the Japanese navy.

The Saiun carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft is out of the question this time, but the Yamato-class battleship has a lot of opportunities. Even if the construction technology of this battleship is not available, It's not bad to be able to capture a finished warship.

Even though the Yamato has been severely damaged by the Chinese fleet and will never be able to serve again without long-term repairs, Ye Bai still doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity. After all, he lost this time Opportunities, Ye Bai himself can't guarantee when it will be possible to obtain a Yamato-class battleship.

With the current technological level of the great maritime world, if you want to build a Yamato-class battleship, you don't know how long you have to wait.

Nimitz was stunned. After a moment, he did not expect that his master would suddenly raise such a question.

But since Ye Bai has already raised it, as a subordinate, Nimitz must pay attention to it and think carefully before answering.

"Sir, the Japanese only have one Yamato and one Nagato left now. Their failure is already doomed. If normal, there is no problem in capturing these two battleships."

"But adults also know that both the Yamato and the Nagato are the flagships of the Japanese-Japanese Combined Fleet, which is of great significance to the entire Japanese-Benzene Navy. It is impossible for them to let these two battleships be captured by us."

Hearing Nimitz's analysis, Ye Bai's excited emotions calmed down instantly. The interception fleet's results were brilliant. All Ye Bai could think about was the chance to capture the Yamato and Nagato, and he really forgot about the Japanese. The Japanese are pissed.

Indeed, not to mention the old Japanese Isoroku Yamamoto, even the other old Japanese, middle Japanese, and young Japanese cannot tolerate the two battleships of the Japanese-Benzene joint fleet, which have great symbolic significance. Become a prisoner of the enemy.

Don't look at the fact that the Japanese navy and the army don't like each other. It's common for them to trip up each other. They don't share the same equipment, and even the direction of the screws is different.

But whether it's the army or the navy, it's not the same. There is a lack of die-hard elements, and there are many people who would rather die together or commit suicide than become prisoners.

Now the Yamato and Nagato are indeed at the end of their rope, but if they really want to surrender, the battleships on these two battleships Many Japanese would not agree. If they were to discover the Chinese fleet's intentions, they would rather open the sea valve and let the two warships sink to the bottom of the sea than watch the Chinese fleet capture them. After a moment of silence,

Ye Suddenly an idea flashed in Bai's mind, and he asked:"What's going on with the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet? Nimitz glanced at Ye Bai in surprise and thought:"You have always been at the war center. You can clearly hear the telegrams sent back from various battlefields. Now ask me?""

However, although he was slandering in his heart, Nimitz still replied seriously:"Lütjens's Second Fleet has stopped Chuichi Nagumo's mobile formation, and in cooperation with the Pacific Fleet and the Midway attack aircraft group, it has been almost completely wiped out. In the mobile formation, there are currently only a few warships still resisting, and the battle will be over in half an hour at most."

"Halsey's Third Fleet also achieved fruitful results, but the number of warships in the mixed fleet was too large and had begun to flee the battlefield. Halsey was pursuing the rear with the Third Fleet and the player fleet."

This time, Ye Bai's eyes were completely bright. Fortunately, it was broad daylight. If it were a dark night, that guy would be like two big bright light bulbs.

"Nimitz, let's set off immediately and rush to the battlefield over to intercept the fleet. There should be enough time. Nimitz frowned, thought for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty:"Sir, you don't want to wait until these two battleships sink to salvage them, do you?""

Ye Bai nodded his head like a rattle, and said:"Yes, anyway, we have built some salvage boats in our small space. As long as Lütjens delays a little longer, we can have enough. It’s time to salvage the Yamato and Nagato."

Nimitz slapped himself on the forehead. He really couldn't accept the idea of ​​​​5.6 idiots like Ye Bai. After taking a long breath, he said slowly:"Commander, the maximum depth of this sea area is But it’s more than 5,000 meters. With our current capabilities, it’s impossible to salvage a sunken ship at such a depth."

Ye Bai's originally bright eyes suddenly widened a lot again, like two copper bells. He only thought about capturing the Yamato and Nagato, and only considered that even if they sank, they could still use the salvage ship. Salvage it up.

It turns out that they ignored it. The battlefield is a deep sea area, not an offshore shoal, which is convenient for salvage.

Seeing that there is no way, all the properties of Ye Bai are gone, and the whole person feels like he has been tortured by several beauties for three days. Like three nights, he collapsed on the captain's chair in an instant, and there was really no drop left.

Nimitz sighed in his heart when he saw Ye Bai's appearance as if he had entered sage mode. If it were possible, Of course, he also wanted to capture the Yamato and Nagato, but the problem was that the chance was too small. He wanted to comfort his deeply affected adult, but he didn't know how to speak. He was not good at ideological work. , simply turned around, out of sight and out of mind.
