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

Under such a blow, more and more pirate warships that resisted were sunk, causing great psychological pressure on the other pirates.

In the end, as more and more pirate warships sank, some of the brain-congested pirates began to calm down, and their survival instincts took over again. None of them dared to continue to resist, but just like other companions. The choice was made to surrender.

Under such great pressure, more and more pirates chose to surrender. Those who were unwilling to fail and wanted to make a last-ditch effort became increasingly rare.

The battlefield situation was more relaxed for the assault fleet side. Halsey stood on the bridge of a Yamato-class battleship and laughed endlessly, obviously very satisfied with winning another battle.

In the center of the war situation on the Yanhuang, Nimitz put down the telegram in his hand and said loudly:"Sir, Halsey called to wipe out the pirate fleet. In addition to those who resisted and were sunk on the spot, there were more than 120 pirate warships on board. The pirates voluntarily gave up resistance and chose to surrender, and they became prisoners together with their men and ships."

After the pirate fleet was eliminated, the pirate base island, which had no defense system in the first place, became a trophy. If it were not for the base island, There were still a lot of"417" pirates left, and Ye Bai was able to merge this base island into a small island through the power of the system in minutes.

Even because he has not completely occupied the pirate base island, Ye Bai has not received the system prompt message yet, and has not been able to collect the system rewards.

"Then order the fleet to set sail and accept our spoils. There are still more than 200 kilometers of voyage. At the speed of the fleet, it will take several hours to get there. I estimate that we will have to spend the night in this sea area tonight."

Hearing such a report, Ye Bai was also very excited. After all, after planning for so long, he deliberately preserved this pirate fleet and allowed it to grow and develop, just for now. As long as the pirate base island can be completely destroyed, , the system rewards will be obtained, and then you will be able to know whether it is worth it.

Nimitz did not turn around to convey the order, but said slowly:"Sir, I have a suggestion, the opportunity It's rare that Yanhuang doesn't get close to it. How about we dispatch a large number of transport ships and landing ships to conduct a practical exercise of landing operations?"

"Um? Hearing this ,

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment. After thinking quickly in his mind, he shook his head and said,"Forget it, although the opportunity is indeed rare, don't forget that there is no defense on the pirate base island." System, the Marine Corps is equivalent to landing on an empty island without even decent resistance. It doesn't make much sense."

"Sir, it is precisely because there is no defense system on this pirate base island that I chose it as the actual battlefield for the Marine Corps landing operations, so that it will not cause too many casualties to the landing troops."

"Moreover, there are many pirates on the island. During the landing process, these pirates may cause some trouble for the landing troops. It is appropriate to train the sea and land in coordinated operations."

"Furthermore, sir, the battleships in the small shipyard have not yet been launched. We do not need to rush to Yuntong Island. There is still plenty of time. With this time, we can launch a large-scale landing combat training."

Nimitz obviously didn't make suggestions casually because of his enthusiasm. Instead, he had his own considerations. He spoke in an orderly manner. Ye Bai listened and nodded, and was quickly convinced.

So Ye Bai fell silent. After a while, he said:"In that case, then you make arrangements. You are the chief of staff of the fleet, and these things are also your job. However, I suggest that the Yanhuang rush to the pirate base island together. After all, we have the number of warships here. Not many, a large number of transport ships and landing ships were dispatched, but there were not so many warships to escort the landing fleet."

Nimitz nodded, and then said:"In this case, I suggest that the fleet set off immediately and stop 50 kilometers away from the pirate base island. I will also send a telegram to Halsey and ask them to send people to capture the prisoners. All the pirates and pirate warships started to move to join us."

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows and understood what Nimitz meant. This was to ensure the safety of the landing fleet, but also to use this rare opportunity to let the Marine Corps and the assault fleet train for coordinated operations. He didn't understand it for a while. Why did Nimitz insist on doing this? However, it had no impact on the overall situation, and he trusted Nimitz's ability. Ye Bai did not ask more questions, believing that he must have his own purpose for doing this.

"By the way, what's going on with Cunningham? Do you need our support?"

Nimitz showed a smile on his face, and then said:"Sir, you underestimate General Cunningham. The temporary fleet he led not only had nearly a hundred battleships, but the number of large main battleships was nearly 40. ship"

"Although the pirate fleet they need to face has about 100 warships, it only has about 10 large main warships. The gap in strength between the two fleets is too big."

Ye Bai showed a smile on his face and continued:"Of course I know that their strength gap is not small, but I haven't received any message, so I'm a little worried."

"Report to Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, General Cunningham has sent a telegram."

Maybe it was God's will. As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, a communications soldier ran to the two of them. While reporting loudly, he handed the translated telegram manuscript to Nimitz's office. In his hand.

At this time, Ye Bai simply shut his mouth and stopped talking. Now that the telegram has been sent, it will soon be known what the situation is on Cunningham's side.

Although whether it is from the strength of the fleet or from In terms of commander's ability, the Cunningham fleet completely crushed the pirate fleet, but as the saying goes, nothing is absolute, who knows if any accidents will happen.

That is half of the main fleet's wealth. Ye Bai is not worried. , that is impossible.

In the multiplayer dungeon space, the Chinese fleet also divided its forces into several groups, and sent Halsey and Lütjens's squadrons to attack independently.

But that was in the dungeon space, from other groups The players also knew about the preferential treatment given by the system, so Ye Bai felt more at ease.

This time in the world of navigation, the entire main fleet was moving together, and he could know and control everything in time. It’s really a bit uneasy to conduct such a large-scale division of troops in the world of navigation.

"Sir, good news. General Cunningham has caught up with the pirate fleet and used the powerful air superiority of 15 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers to take the lead in launching a large-scale aerial bombardment against the pirate fleet............"

Just hearing this, Ye Bai felt happy. 15 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers can dispatch more than 400 carrier-based aircraft in one attack wave. If Cunningham is more ruthless, this number can be increased. Double.

There were only a few aircraft carriers in the pirate fleet, and its air power was limited. The small number of carrier-based fighter jets simply could not form an effective air defense network to intercept the huge group of attack aircraft.

Such a large-scale carrier-based aircraft fleet is a considerable threat to a pirate fleet with only about 100 warships. Don't forget that in Cunningham's squadron, except for these 15 Ethiopian warships, In addition to the X-class medium-sized aircraft carriers, there are also a larger number of battleships and battlecruisers.

Sure enough, just when Ye Bai thought of this, he heard Nimitz continue:"While launching a large-scale aerial bombing, Lütjens led the battleships and battlecruisers to close the distance with the pirate fleet, and launched a close battle with it. Fleet artillery battle at distance"

"With the advantage of a larger number of large battleships, the fleet led by Lütjens gained the upper hand and sank a large number of pirate warships in close-range artillery battles, including many large pirate battleships."

"Now that most of the pirate fleet has been wiped out, the remaining less than 40 pirate warships have dispersed and broken out. General Cunningham has ordered the fleet to disperse and pursue"

"good."

Ye Bai stood up suddenly and said loudly:"Tell Cunningham not to let a pirate warship slip through the net. We have raised them for so long just to eat meat."

"This is a serious pirate force. If one ship is missed, it may grow again. A new plan is about to begin. We don’t have much time to stay in this sea area. We can’t give it to Rondo and The prepared fleet leaves a huge hidden danger"

"Yes, sir, I'll call General Cunningham back right away."

Nimitz knew what Ye Bai's new plan was, so he naturally understood Ye Bai's concerns. With the strength of Cunningham's fleet, which has so many battleships and aircraft carriers, there is no problem in pursuing these escaping pirate warships..

Not to mention anything else, the 15 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers alone are equipped with a large number of carrier-based aircraft, firmly controlling the air supremacy in their hands, with a large number of carrier-based aircraft conducting aerial reconnaissance and fleeing in all directions. There is no way for the pirate warships to escape. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Not to mention that these pirate warships basically suffered varying degrees of damage. Even if they are intact, relying on the slow speed of surface ships , it is simply impossible to outrun the carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky.

The orders to the Halsey Fleet and the Cunningham Fleet were issued from the battle center of the Yanhuang. After the two received the new order, there was no moment The Cunningham fleet immediately launched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the surrounding waters. Once a target is discovered, it will be reported quickly. The surface ships that have already set out to pursue will immediately adjust their course. Before the carrier-based aircraft Under the guidance of the pilots, these fleeing pirate warships were encircled and suppressed.

Although Cunningham pursued all the retreating pirate warships and divided the fleet into multiple small fleets, he had a large number of large main battleships in hand, and he was very wealthy when allocating them.
