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

There were also disagreements, but the pirates were much more decisive than the aboriginal forces. They had no intention of forcing anyone to persuade, nor did they insist on arguing to win or lose.

Instead, while continuing to withstand the bombardment of the attack fleet in the sky, they intensified the attack on the escort fleet, concentrated firepower and violently bombarded the escort fleet, while making endless noises in the radio station.

In other words, even if these pirate leaders have not yet reached an agreement, under the command of the pirate leader who serves as the commander, the pirate fleet is still maintaining the previous combat policy and does not go its own way. Based on this alone, it is better than those The indigenous people are much stronger.

Of course, Ye Bai didn't know the situation of this group of pirates, otherwise he would be suspicious again. To put it bluntly, the pirates are also the senior players who failed to clear the level. They are essentially no different from the aboriginal forces occupying each island. Logically speaking, there is no difference. There will be such an obvious difference.

Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Ye Bai fought against a real pirate fleet. Before attacking Yuntong Island, he swallowed up a disabled pirate fleet.

That group of pirates was an eye-opener for Ye Bai. Seeing that the war was not going well, he immediately turned the ship around and withdrew from the battle. They were completely unlike those NPC pirate warships that were randomly refreshed by the system. They fought until the last moment, even if there was only one left. The battleship also refused to surrender.

It wasn't until Ye Bai learned about the origins and circumstances of these aboriginal forces and real pirate forces from Qiu Haonan that he finally understood why they were both pirates, but there was such a big difference.

Now, this difference has appeared again. They are also failed senior players. When their opinions are different and not unified, the performance of the two on the battlefield is completely different.

The topic went off topic. The main fleet sailed rapidly and soon approached the battlefield area. It even appeared directly behind the escort fleet. At this position, the pirate fleet on the opposite side was completely within the effective range of their naval guns..

Nimitz gave an order, and General Halsey, the"brute bull", personally commanded the two Nelson-class battleships, two Dunkirk-class battlecruisers and two Prestige-class battleships that had not been transferred from the main fleet to take the lead. Rush at the forefront of the entire main fleet.

A total of six large main warships lined up on the sea, pushing the hulls horizontally, maintaining the attitude of facing the enemy from the side, and the high-raised muzzles suddenly let out the first roar.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Heavy armor-piercing bombs drew an arc in mid-air and fell into the pirate fleet, blowing up large clouds of water and killing the pirates who were still fighting and arguing. I woke up with a start.

As the main fleet joined the battlefield, the Chinese fleet had completely surpassed the pirate fleet in terms of the number of battleships. In terms of large main battleships, the main fleet and the escort fleet combined totaled 11 ships. Likewise, It has surpassed the only 7 ships remaining in the pirate fleet.

However, the ones that rush to the front line to participate in close-range artillery battles are still only a few battleships and battlecruisers under the main fleet. They also use the armament space to equip more than a dozen triple-mounted 406mm Cannon, the Yanhuang, which has quite powerful close combat firepower, did not rush to the front line to fight with bayonets.

In terms of pure combat effectiveness, the Yanhuang, equipped with more than a dozen triple 406mm cannons, with its thick armor and huge tonnage, even the Yamato-class Battleships are not enough to look at in front of it.

Compared with these old-fashioned battleships, it is even capable of one vs. two or even one vs. three, and has a very high probability of winning the battle.

But, although the Yanhuang is the entire It is the most powerful warship in the Chinese fleet, but it is also the most core warship in the entire Chinese fleet.

With the existence of a small space and the application of various black technologies, it can be said that anything in the entire Chinese fleet can cause trouble. Only the Yanhuang cannot have any problems. If possible, it is best not to land a bullet on the Yanhuang.

With this kind of thinking, neither Ye Bai nor Nimitz and others thought about it. The intention of sending Yanhuang to the frontline battlefield is to stay at the rear of the fleet, responsible for the task of taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft, and playing the role that an aircraft carrier should play.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

With the support of nearly a hundred warships in the main fleet, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the escort fleet was even higher. Round after round of salvo firepower, a large number of artillery shells were launched onto the warships of the pirate fleet. In just a few short seconds After several rounds of attacks, many more pirate warships were directly sunk, and more than 30 warships were hit by shells of different calibers, and the damage to the hull became more serious.

There is no way, high-tech products such as fire control radar are everywhere That is standard equipment in the Chinese fleet. Even the warships in the escort fleet that protect the transport fleet are equipped with it. There is no reason why these warships in the main fleet should not be equipped.

With the battlefield data provided by the fire control radar as Guidance, even if the warships of the main fleet have just joined the battlefield, the main guns on each warship are quite accurate. In almost every round of bombardment, a varying number of shells accurately land on the pirate warships. On.

Seeing that within a short period of the battle, many warships were sunk again, and more warships were seriously damaged. They were still arguing with each other. The pirate leaders who had not reached a unified conclusion no longer needed to continue. They argued and issued orders one after another. The ships turned around, broke away from the battle, and evacuated quickly.

This group of pirates was obviously quite skilled in the tactic of evacuating immediately when the situation was bad. They did not retreat directly in a swarm, but in groups. They formed a group and dispersed into multiple fleets, quickly evacuating in different directions.

Of course, this refers to those pirate warships whose power systems were not damaged during the battle, and still maintained sufficient power and sailed fast enough. Those pirate warships that were unlucky and had their battleship's power system damaged and could only float on the sea or whose speed dropped sharply were not so lucky. Their slow crawling was as slow as a turtle's speed, and they were not ready for Nimitz's pursuit. The order, compared to the approaching main fleet and escort fleet, was simply not worth mentioning.

Due to the damage to the power system, the pirate warships could only stay in the battle waters or were not fast, unable to escape the pursuit. One after another, the pirate warships were attacked one after another. Shen, occasionally one or two pirates on the warships who saw that they could not escape would hoist the white flag and surrender.

When the war was extinguished, except for the dozens of pirate warships who saw that the situation was not good and fled in time, this time the former The pirate fleet that came to attack the transport fleet can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

As soon as the battle ended, Nimitz contacted the commander of the convoy fleet and asked them about their previous battles.

After careful analysis by the officers at the war situation center , calculations, and finally came to a rough conclusion. In this battle, more than 150 pirate warships were sunk in total, and more than 80 were sunk, including at least 6 more A total of more than 10 pirate warships were captured, including a Kongang-class battleship and a Ryūjō-class light aircraft carrier whose power system was damaged during the battle and could not be evacuated with the fleet. The real At most, there are only more than 80 pirate warships that dispersed and escaped from the warring waters. Among them, there are only 11 large main warships, including 6 light aircraft carriers that have lost most of their carrier-based aircraft.

Such a group The crippled pirate fleet was not too difficult for the main fleet, so after leaving the escort fleet to clean the battlefield and continuing to escort the transport fleet back to Island No. 308, the main fleet set sail again.

This place is only more than 150 kilometers away from the island No. 308, and it is completely within the combat radius of the fighter planes on the island. If something happens, the escort fleet can get support from the air fleet at any time.

And before dividing the troops, Nimitz also sent a telegram to Langsdorff, who was stationed on Island 308, asking him to send a small fleet to meet the transport fleet. Anyway, he had received the telegram before, Lutyan Si has returned to island No. 308 with the second fleet.

With Lütjens and his Second Fleet here, there is no need to worry too much about the island defense work on Island 308. Anyway, the guard fleet will only be away for a few hours.

In addition to escorting the transport fleet back intact, the escort fleet is also responsible for bringing back more than a dozen captured pirate warships. These warships are now treasures. After the shipyard repairs them, they can be used in It was later sold to German Island in exchange for a large amount of raw material resources.

The reason why these captured pirate warships were not sent into the small space is that the 3-hour cooling period before the Yanhuang's form transformation has not yet expired. These captured pirate warships cannot enter the small space through the Yanhuang in the battleship form. middle.

Secondly, it was also because the main fleet still had tasks to do and could not waste more than three hours again to transform the Yanhuang from battleship form to base form just to accommodate these 10 captured pirate warships.

At the end of the battle, the pirate warships dispersed and evacuated the battlefield. Although Nimitz did not immediately order the main fleet to pursue these pirate warships, he sent dozens of F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets to follow them at high altitudes..

In addition to controlling the escape direction of these pirate warships, the most important purpose of these Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets is to follow these escaping pirate warships and find their lair along the way. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This time, in order to support the escort fleet, Nimitz personally went out with the main fleet. He did not come here to sink more than 150 pirate warships. The most important thing is that To find the base of this pirate fleet and completely destroy it..
