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

In fact, even if Kondo Nobutake did not order an evacuation, Lütjens's second fleet would not continue to attack them.

After waiting for a long time, Lütjens finally received a telegram from Nimitz, asking him to immediately sink the two battleships Haruna and Kirishima and end the war.

With Nimitz's permission, Lütjens turned the nose of the second wave of attack aircraft that had just taken off, changed the bombing mission, and flew towards the two surrounded Japanese battleships.

As for the landing fleet that had been bombed for a round, Lütjens also had his own idea, which was to wait until the last two Japanese battleships were dealt with, then concentrate all the forces of the second fleet, and then fight with the landing fleet. One game.

But when he saw on the radar display screen that the little red dot representing the identity of the landing fleet no longer approached, and instead quickly evacuated, Lütjens cursed.

He scolded these little devils for not having the integrity of soldiers. They had just fought, and then they turned around and ran away. How could they fight like this?

But no matter how much Lütjens cursed, it could not change the result that Kondo Nobutake commanded the landing fleet to evacuate quickly, and the first task of him and the Second Fleet was to sink the two battleships Haruna and Kirishima as soon as possible, and Not to pursue the landing fleet.

In order to complete this task as quickly as possible, Lütjens had to use most of his battleships and all attack aircraft on the two surrounded battleships, and could not allocate more battleships to pursue the landing fleet.

After all, according to the results of radar detection and the report of the first wave of attack aircraft, in addition to 1 aircraft carrier, there are 2 battleships and multiple heavy cruisers in the landing fleet. If there are not enough capital ships in the pursuit fleet.

Especially if there are too few battleships, even if they successfully catch up with the quickly evacuating landing fleet, they will not have enough strength to stop them, and may cause considerable damage to the chasing fleet.

The caution in Lütjens's character gained the upper hand when he encountered this situation. He did not think of grabbing with both hands and being tough with both hands, and rashly detached a squadron to chase the landing fleet. Instead, he concentrated on Prioritize troop strength and firepower to complete Nimitz's orders.

Although he knew that this was the most correct decision, Lütjens was still very dissatisfied when a big fish slipped away from his mouth, and he vented all his depression on the two battleships Haruna and Kirishima in the encirclement..

These two battleships were extremely unlucky. They were hit by countless artillery shells and aerial bombs. Even the Fletcher-class destroyers whose main guns were not powerful enough moved closer and fired the ship-borne torpedoes..

The hit rate of these attacks is not low. First of all, the distance between the warships on both sides is not far. Secondly, the warships of the Chinese fleet are all equipped with fire control radars.

In addition, the two battleships had been surrounded for a long time, and the gun crew members on each battleship had already calculated various data over and over again to ensure that nothing was missed.

With such a high hit rate, the officers and soldiers on the two Japanese battleships were immediately stunned. Balls of fireballs rose into the sky on the battleships, and a large number of armor layers were blasted through.

Countless large holes were blown out of the wooden deck. The broken deck was ignited by the flames generated by the explosion of the shells, and a raging fire broke out. A large amount of black smoke filled the two warships.

A large number of artillery shells, bombs, and torpedoes completely enveloped the two Japanese battleships. That guy was no longer raining bullets, but it was probably hailing directly.

The various explosions were almost continuous and almost never stopped.

Under such a violent blow, the hull armor value of the two Japanese battleships dropped at an extremely fast rate. It was really like a waterfall"flying down three thousand feet."

Even when the armor values ​​of the two battleships were completely cleared and they slowly sank into the sea, the Second Fleet's attack did not stop and continued to bombard them, creating a"corpse-whipping" effect.

No matter how accurate the Second Fleet's bombardment is and how violent the artillery fire is, Haruna and Kirishima are two battleships after all. They have rough skin and thick flesh, and their armor value is much thicker than those of other battleships. If you want to sink them completely, It takes a lot of time.

While the Second Fleet was besieging the Haruna and Kirishima, Nobutake Kondo commanded the landing fleet to be at full power, maintaining the highest speed and quickly moving away from the main battlefield.

When the Haruna and Kirishima were completely sunk, even the landing fleet could still be detected by the shipborne radar system equipped by the Second Fleet, but the distance between the two sides was already very far, and the speed was quite fast. The Second Fleet There is little hope of catching up.

Since he could no longer catch up, Lütjens simply stopped spending this effort and commanded the Second Fleet to start cleaning up the mess, mainly to salvage the sailors and pilots who were still struggling on the sea.

The main battlefield lasted for nearly a day, and the three fleets, the Japanese-Benzene Combined Fleet, the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and the Second Fleet, suffered varying degrees of losses.

Some pilots whose planes were shot down, as well as many sailors who sank to the bottom of the sea with the battleships, were struggling to survive on the sea. Some of these sailors and pilots who fell into the water were rescued during the battle, but there were still others. Many have not been rescued.

When the two Japanese-Benzene battleships were besieged but not attacked before, Lütjens sent some destroyers to rescue these fallen officers and soldiers, but not all rescues were completed. Now he finally has time.

In the process of salvaging the fallen sailors and pilots, the officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet tacitly ignored all the Japanese.

There are some veterans who have followed Ye Bai for a long time on each battleship. They are familiar with some of Ye Bai's habits and psychology. The most obvious thing is that Ye Bai is extremely disgusted with the Japanese people. Of course these veterans will not Go get this bad luck.

Even those new recruits who had just been recruited during the expansion of the Chinese fleet and joined the fleet would be stopped by the veterans around them when they naively wanted to rescue these Japanese soldiers who fell into the water.

Some veterans with good connections or better personalities will take the opportunity to give lessons to these new recruits and explain some of their adults' habits and little thoughts.

Not only is the Second Fleet busy rescuing sailors and pilots who fell into the water, but the Third Fleet is also carrying out this work. Even compared to the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet's rescue work is more difficult.

After all, the losses of the Third Fleet were greater than those of the Second Fleet, and the sea area of ​​​​the battle was also much wider. They ran a long way during the pursuit. There were officers and soldiers who fell into the water everywhere waiting for rescue, which required more time and effort. thought.

However, before the third fleet could complete all the rescue work, white beams of light fell from the sky, covering all the surviving warships.

Ye Bai, who was sitting at the center of the battle on the Yanhuang, suddenly stood up. The memory of the previous dungeon space resurfaced in his mind, and he immediately understood that this should be a signal that the dungeon space was over.

He was originally going to transform Yanhuang from base form into battleship form, but suddenly stopped the moment he put his hand on the button.

Because he suddenly thought that in this battle in the copy space, the warships of the Chinese fleet were damaged a lot. Not counting those that were sunk, there were also many that were damaged by bullets.

After returning to the world of navigation, the first thing to do is to repair these damaged warships.

Although all 10 shipyards and 100 slipways in the Yanhuang's small space are occupied and brand new warships are being built, there is simply no time left to repair these damaged warships. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But there are still 20 floating docks in the small space. When the slipways are insufficient, these floating docks can come in handy to take over the repair work of damaged warships..

What's more, the two submarine formations and 200 Type XXI submarines released in this battle also need to return to the small space.

Simply don't change the form. According to the construction progress of the small space shipyard, a batch of light cruisers and destroyers will be launched into service in the near future, which will be used to supplement the losses of the Chinese fleet in the copy space this time, and it can even be smaller. A small expansion.

With such thoughts, Ye Bai felt a sudden spin, and his eyes suddenly blurred. When he saw the outside environment clearly again, he realized that he had left the copy space and returned to the island No. 308.

When the battle in the dungeon space ended, the sky had already entered dusk. Now that we have returned to the world of navigation, the sun has completely disappeared., the sky became dark.

Fortunately, the Chinese fleet was parked at the military port when it entered the copy space. Of course, this return still appeared at the military port.

A large number of searchlights provide a strong lighting effect, illuminating the entire military port dock as if it were daytime, at least without causing any impact on the line of sight.

After returning to the world of navigation, Ye Bai didn't even have time to check the system's clearance evaluation and clearance rewards. He immediately contacted Lütjens and Halsey to confirm the fleet's casualties.

Putting aside the loss of the battleship, Ye Bai felt heartbroken when he heard Halsey say that after the battle was over, all the officers, soldiers and pilots who had fallen into the water had not yet been rescued.

It is normal for casualties to occur in wars. Not to mention the nearly two million residents on the two islands, there are as many as one million people recruited from the system by Ye Bai himself.

Controlling the lives and deaths of so many people, to be honest, Ye Bai didn't feel bad about the casualties in the battle.

But this time the situation is different. If it were in the world of navigation, the pilots and officers and soldiers who fell into the water would have been rescued. However, due to the special nature of the dungeon space, there was not enough time to carry out the rescue. This is unwarranted. I feel sorry for the loss..
