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

Ye Bai deliberately retained the defeated pirate fleet, allowing it to continue to operate in the sea area, constantly integrating NPC pirate warships, and expanding its strength. The purpose was not only to achieve the conditions set by the system, but also to randomly refresh a new one. The pirate base island.

Now that this pirate base island has really appeared, Ye Bai has a feeling that after all the hardships, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine, not to mention how excited he is.

"By the way, Nimitz, where is this new pirate base island?"

"Sir, please see, according to the location reported by the submarine force, the new pirate base island is roughly at this location, and the error will not be too big."

Looking in the direction of Nimitz's finger at the nautical map on the chart table, Ye Bai's eyes narrowed. This location is a bit weird. It is about the same distance from Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island, and it happens to be formed on the nautical map. a triangle shape

"How far is this pirate base island from us?"

For this question, Nimitz was obviously well prepared and answered without hesitation:"About 1,200 kilometers, and it is only about 1,100 kilometers away from Yuntong Island."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up and he immediately said:"At the speed of the main fleet, 1,200 kilometers is a matter of 4-5 days at most. If we set off now, it should be too late."

As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, Nimitz shook his head and said:"Sir, our first batch of Yamato-class battleships will be launched into service in about 10 days. This is a rare opportunity for actual combat."

"Nimitz, do you mean to wait until the Yamato-class battleship is launched into service before taking action against this pirate base island?"21

Of course Ye Bai understood what Nimitz said, but he didn't quite understand it. After such a long delay, the pirate base island finally appeared. If we don't attack as soon as possible and completely destroy this pirate base island, we will have to wait. What?

Seeing Nimitz's direct nod, Ye Bai said hesitantly:"But have you ever thought about it, the strength of this pirate fleet is already very strong, with more than 200 battleships, including large capital ships. 20 ships, if they are given another 10 days to develop, they might become even more powerful."

Nimitz shrugged his shoulders and then said:"Sir, although I want the Yamato-class battleship to participate in this rare opportunity for actual combat, it is impossible to really sit back and watch the pirate fleet develop unscrupulously."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Now that the pirate fleet has been divided, its base islands are still empty and have no defense facilities. We can block the external communication channels of the pirate base islands."

"Block this half of the pirate fleet in its base island, and at the same time prevent the other pirate fleet from going out to plunder. The pirate fleet will return the looted resources to the base island, denying them a chance to develop."

Ye Bai frowned and waited until Nimitz finished speaking before he said:"But there are not many submarines operating nearby. It is simply unrealistic to completely block the entire pirate base island. The previous tracking and surveillance The pirates did not discover the submarine force. Firstly, they lacked anti-submarine capabilities. Secondly, they did not expect it at all."

"But if the blockade really starts, the pirates are not fools and will definitely be able to react. The small number of submarines we send out will simply not be able to complete the task of blockading the base island."

"There is another pirate fleet. After completing the robbery of the transport fleet today, they will definitely return to the base island immediately. By then, the submarine force will face more than 200 warships. Blocking the waterway is not realistic."

When it comes to blocking the pirate base island, Ye Bai immediately thinks of the submarines operating in the surrounding waters. This is not the first time such a blockade has been carried out. The same was done to the island No. 308, and the entire island was blocked. It was completely blocked and no warship could enter or exit.

But at that time, in order to blockade the island No. 308, the Chinese fleet dispatched hundreds of Type XXI submarines, and the number of remaining warships in the main fleet of the island No. 308 was only 100. Only multiple ships allowed the submarine force to successfully complete the blockade mission.

This time the situation was a little different. Nimitz indeed sent a large number of submarines, as many as several hundred, but so many submarines were distributed across... In the vast sea area, how many active pirate base islands can be submerged?

Even if Ye Bai doesn't know the specific number for the time being, he knows that there will definitely not be more than 50 submarines. With just such a small number of submarines, he wants to completely blockade them. Pirate base islands, that's just a joke.

After all, the Type XXI submarine is just a conventional submarine during World War II, not a nuclear submarine of later generations. It doesn't even have an AIP system, but it doesn't have such strong combat effectiveness.

When Ye Bai finished speaking, Nimitz shook his head and continued:"Sir, I have no plans to use submarine forces to blockade the pirate base island. Without sufficient numbers, the submarine force with limited combat effectiveness cannot complete this task."

"My idea is to dispatch the main fleet directly and block the pirate base island with a powerful surface fleet."

"Main fleet?"

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard this. This kind of strategy has never been used by the Chinese fleet, but after thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Anyway, in the final analysis, the purpose of Nimitz is to give Yamato-class battleships It is just to buy time for launching service, and at the same time, we do not want the pirate base island to develop, so we will adopt the blockade method.

As for whether to use the submarine force to blockade or the main fleet to blockade, it actually does not matter. Anyway, as long as the blockade task can be completed, That’s it.

Anyway, it was the main fleet that finally attacked the pirate base island. It doesn’t make much difference if we set off one day earlier or one day later.

"This is a good idea. If it weren't for the sake of lettingThe He-class battleships participate in this battle, and we can launch an attack on the pirate base even now."

After thinking about this, Ye Bai became a little more relaxed and continued:"Since you have already planned it, let's arrange it according to your wishes."

"Oh, by the way, send a telegram to Fletcher and ask him to dispatch a fleet from the Yuntong Island guard fleet and rush to the location of the pirate base island to meet up with the main fleet."

For the first time, a surprised expression appeared on Nimitz's face, and he asked:"Sir, although this pirate fleet is not weak, the strength of the main fleet is enough to cope with it. I don't even plan to let the main force. The entire fleet is dispatched, only a part of the warships are deployed."

"If you feel that it is not safe, you can bring all the main fleet with you. There is no need to draw warships from the Yuntong Island guard fleet, right?"

Seeing the surprised expression on Nimitz's face, Ye Bai was secretly happy. This old boy had always had a calm expression, as if nothing could trouble him, and nothing could stop him. It was as expected.

Although he didn't spend the whole day in front of Ye Bai, this kind of invisible pretense was often the most fatal. It was rare to see Nimitz miscalculate, and even a look of surprise appeared on his face. Expression, Ye Bai couldn't say how happy he was.

But it was enough to feel a little happy in his heart, but not too much. He coughed softly for a few times, and then said:"What, let Fletcher mobilize Yun The warships of the Tongdao Guard Fleet came to join the main fleet, not to let them participate in the battle to attack the pirate base island."

"The first round of Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers and North Carolina-class battleships launched by the Small Space Shipyard are five each, and they are all ready to supplement the Yuntong Island garrison fleet, including a batch of new warships that will be launched later. There are dozens of ships"

"The Yanhuang has always been anchored at Island No. 308. These new warships have never been able to be sent to Yuntong Island. In addition, for the previous transaction, more than 100 warships were transferred from the Yuntong Island guard fleet, which also needs to be carried out. Replenish"

"183 Anyway, Yuntong Island is not very far from the pirate base island, only 1,200 kilometers. Instead of sending the fleet to Yuntong Island, it is better for Fletcher to rush to the pirate base island to receive these new warships."

After speaking his thoughts in one breath, Ye Bai paused for a moment before continuing:"In addition to these new warships, I also have another idea, which is to equip the Yuntong Island police ship and the No. 8 Island Guard Fleet with their own equipment. 2 Yamato-class battleships"

"The Yamato-class battleship is the battleship with the largest tonnage, the thickest armor value, and the most powerful firepower that we currently have. It is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and has the strongest survivability on the battlefield. As the flagship of the commander of the guard fleet, it can also Better ensure the safety of fleet commanders."

After listening to Ye Bai's words, Nimitz also fell silent. In historical naval battles, fleet flagships are often the key targets and need to withstand more firepower. Therefore, the flagship may not be the strongest warship in the entire fleet. But it must be a battleship with the strongest survivability.

Otherwise, the flagship will be sunk as soon as the war begins. Not to mention the heavy blow to the morale of the fleet officers and soldiers, the command system alone will be completely destroyed, and the fleet will also be destroyed due to the lack of unified command. If you fall into a situation of fighting on your own, the outcome will not be much better. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The

Yanhuang has always been the flagship of the Chinese fleet. In addition to the existence of various black technology systems , it is also the most powerful warship, and its armor is even thicker.

In addition, the Yanhuang has always used a large number of carrier-based aircraft to carry out long-range attacks as its core attack method. It rarely appears on the front line and has not suffered any attacks. Even if there is an air attack by an enemy carrier-based aircraft group, it will be difficult to break through the air defense network of the Yanhuang and the escorting warships. It is unique in terms of safety.

But other warships in the Chinese fleet are not as powerful as the Yanhuang. It is difficult to say What kind of situation will happen on the battlefield, the choice of flagship becomes somewhat important.
