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

Speaking of which, although Ye Bai has a complete nautical map of the entire nautical world in his hand, with all large, medium and small islands marked on it, and even resource points refreshed by the system, it only lacks information about the pirate base islands..

This makes everyone, including Ye Bai, if they want to find the pirate base island, they can only use their own reconnaissance capabilities to conduct large-scale reconnaissance in the sea area, or rely on luck and accidentally bump into it..

The pirate base island that appeared in this sea area this time has never been discovered before. If it weren't for a pirate fleet suddenly attacking the transport fleet, Ye Bai and Nimitz would still not be able to realize that they were on their own. There is actually a pirate base island within the sphere of influence.

But now that it has been discovered, it is certainly impossible for Ye Bai to let this sudden pirate base island go, not to mention the system rewards that can be obtained after destroying a pirate base island.

Ye Bai has not forgotten that after these pirate base islands are occupied, they can be used to upgrade the islands under his command. Nowadays, Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island are both small islands. There is no way to occupy a few pirate base islands. Upgrade them.

As for which island will be upgraded by"Three Seven Three", Ye Bai still needs to think about it. Now he still has to first find the pirate base island who doesn't know where it is.

Regarding this point, in addition to Nimitz sending a large number of carrier-based fighter jets to track the pirate warships that fled the battlefield, Ye Bai himself was not idle either. There were many pirates who survived on the captured pirate warships.

Although the Yanhuang in battleship form could not send the captured pirate warships into a small space, there was still no problem with the surrendered pirates. When the escort fleet sent personnel to take over these pirate warships, the pirates on the ship had already been captured. Transferred to Yanhuang.

In the small space, the head of the intelligence department, Heydrich, had already received orders to wait for these guys. Heydrich would obtain the specific location of the pirate base island from the pirates through various methods.

With a two-pronged approach, no matter which aspect has news, Nimitz can arrange the next action plan.

For a whole afternoon, the main fleet wandered around in the sea, following the largest pirate fleet from a distance. From time to time, several F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets returned and landed on the flight deck of the Yanhuang.

That was when the fighter jets performing the tracking and surveillance mission were forced to return due to lack of fuel. However, before returning, the carrier-based fighter jets that took over to continue tracking and monitoring the pirate fleet had taken off from the Yanhuang and would not let the escaping pirate fleet escape from them. Sight.

Even at night, the tracking and monitoring of the pirate fleet did not stop. After all, the Chinese fleet, especially the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters equipped on the Yanhuang, are all equipped with airborne radars.

Although the most powerful performance of this current airborne radar is its detection ability in the air, and its detection ability on the sea and ground is not very strong, it is better than nothing. It is better than relying on the pilot in a dark night environment. Visual reconnaissance is much better.

What makes Ye Bai and Nimitz a little strange is that these scattered pirate fleets have no intention of returning to their pirate base islands or reuniting, but are still scattered.

This time, even Nimitz, who Ye Bai jokingly called standing on the fifth floor, couldn't tell what kind of evil plan these pirates were planning.

Since these pirate fleets have no intention of returning to their base islands, the tracking and monitoring of reconnaissance planes will naturally be unable to find their base islands. Ye Bai can only pin his hopes on Heydrich.

Those who can choose to hang the white flag and surrender when the war is unfavorable, no matter what their thoughts are at the time, one thing is certain, that is, they are afraid of death and want to live.

Heydrich's interrogation of these surrendered pirates went very smoothly. Although these guys gritted their teeth and refused to talk at first, after Heydrich used his methods, they all revealed everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. come out.

After sorting out the information revealed by the captured pirates, Heydrich quickly sent them to the war situation center without a moment's hesitation.

Even though the sky had darkened and the main fleet did not continue to pursue the pirate fleet and was anchored above the sea, the lights in the battle center of the Yanhuang were still bright.

Ye Bai and Nimitz still didn't fall asleep. After all, up to now, neither of them had figured out what these pirates were planning, but they had no intention of going to sleep. Ye Bai didn't even think about the nurse. I didn’t even enjoy my sister’s daily massage.

It can be said that the information sent by Heydrich was just in time, which gave Nimitz a basis for analysis and judgment.

After reading the information sent by Heydrich, Nimitz took matters into his own hands and marked the approximate range of the pirate base islands on the navigation map on the chart table.

There is no way. After all, it is only based on the coordinates dictated by the captured pirates. There is no guarantee of 100% accuracy, but the error should not be too large.

The information the pirates confessed was not only the approximate coordinates of a pirate base island, but also the approximate strength of this pirate force.

"Sir, according to the confessions of this group of pirates, this pirate force can only be regarded as a small pirate force. The area of ​​its island base is larger than the pirate base island we destroyed before, but it is also limited."

"Not only is it large in area, but its military strength is also much stronger. In addition to the fleet that attacked our transport fleet, there is also a fleet with a total number of about 100 warships guarding the island among its base islands."

"These include more than 3 aircraft carriers and more than 5 large capital ships. There is also a ground airport built in the base, which houses more than 300 carrier-based aircraft."

Ye Bai did not read the intelligence documents provided by Heydrich. He only listened to Nimitz's dictation. After hearing this, he couldn't help but take a breath.

This pirate force is indeed quite powerful. Even compared with the aboriginal forces occupying small islands, they are more powerful, not to mention the main fleet with nearly 300 warships. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) Among the fleets It actually has 10 aircraft carriers and nearly 20 large main battleships. This kind of military power has surpassed the original Yuntong Island and No. 308 Island. I just didn’t know that this pirate force itself is considered the top among small pirate forces. The existence of the island is due to the current war situation in the great maritime world. Not only are the indigenous forces expanding their armies to prepare for war, but also these pirate forces are also expanding their military power, which is why they have such a military power today.

Ye Bai was reluctant to answer this question. You know, after all, whether it is Qiu Haonan or Shen Deyi, although they are also senior players and know a lot of secret information in the great maritime world, their current identities are the leaders of the aboriginal forces.

But what kind of pirates are they? Some of the information about the pirate forces and the system rule settings were not very clear, which made Ye Bai also unclear about the situation of the pirate forces.

Of course, these situations are not too important now. After being surprised, Ye Bai immediately He raised a question in his mind:"Nimitz, you said that these pirates have obviously withdrawn from the battlefield, so why are they wandering around outside and not returning to their base island?"

Nimitz shrugged his shoulders and said:"Sir, based on the intelligence confessed by the pirates, this group of pirates is not weak. It is very likely that the warships are equipped with more advanced radars. We will send them out. The carrier-based aircraft tracking the pirate fleet must have been discovered by them."

"So you are saying that these pirates discovered our reconnaissance plane and were worried that they would return directly to their island base and expose the location of their base?"

Nimitz nodded and continued:"This is one of the possibilities, and there is another possibility, that is, in this battle to attack the transport fleet, the pirates suffered a big loss and were unwilling to return like this, so they simply Move around in the sea area to see if they can find another transport fleet so that they can gain something."

Ye Bai's eyes widened and he said in disbelief:"Good guy, if it's true as you guessed, then it's a typical thief who doesn't leave empty-handed. Now that he's out, he has to bring some loot back with him.."

After a slight pause, Ye Bai continued to ask:"Now that we already know where this group of pirates' base is, can we just knock on the door without having to track these escaped pirate fleets?"3.6

In Ye Bai's view, the purpose of tracking these pirate fleets is to find the other party's base island. Now that we know it, there is no need to go to such trouble.

Moreover, these remaining pirate fleets have not returned to their base islands. For the Chinese fleet, It can be considered a good thing. The defense power of the base island has been weakened a lot. It is just right to hit the door at this time.

Otherwise, if these disabled pirate fleets return to the base island, the defense of the base island will be The strength will increase to nearly 200 battleships, including nearly 10 aircraft carriers and nearly 10 large main battleships.

Some main battleships were mobilized to Yuntong Island under the command of Fletcher, and Lu Teyan The Second Fleet led by Si stayed on the island No. 308. The strength of the main fleet is not too strong. The total number of battleships is less than 100, the only aircraft carrier is the Yanhuang, and there are only 6 large main battleships. It’s just a ship, but its hard power cannot compare to this reunited pirate fleet.[]

Therefore, the first thought that came to Ye Bai's mind was to move out quickly and take advantage of the empty defense of the pirate base island to catch them off guard..
