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

Although each small fleet dispersed has a small number of battleships, less than 20, it contains battleships and aircraft carriers, and is quite well-equipped. Not to mention chasing these chaotically evacuated pirate warships, even if it encounters a Even a large fleet can resist one or two.

With a large number of carrier-based aircraft in the sky conducting aerial reconnaissance, the slow-moving pirate warships simply cannot escape Cunningham's control. They will soon be overtaken one by one and either surrender or be completely sunk.

The two fleets performed their respective duties, and Nimitz took overall control and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

The main fleet, which set sail at anchor, cut through waves and sailed to a position only about 50 kilometers away from the pirate base island. Some of the warships led by Halsey in the assault fleet and all the captured pirate warships had already arrived here. The sea is waiting quietly.

As soon as the two sides met, Ye Bai knew it was his turn to take action and pressed the button himself to transform the Yanhuang from battleship form to base form.

The Yanhuang in base form can allow warships to freely enter and exit a small space. Nimitz gave an order, and all the pirate warships captured by the assault fleet entered the port dock in an orderly manner under the control of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese fleet, and then passed through. The teleportation platform enters the small space.

In a small space, these damaged pirate warships will enter the shipyard to receive repairs from ship experts and shipbuilding engineers. Although this will prevent some shipyards from continuing to build new warships as scheduled29, it may affect daily operations. Battleship Sales.

But these captured pirate warships themselves are old-fashioned warships. The Chinese fleet itself is not equipped with them, and they are not even used by the guard fleet. Their only use is to sell them to other players and indigenous forces in exchange for their warships. Raw material resources.

Although it will delay the shipbuilding work of the shipyard, with these renovated old warships as a supplement, Ye Bai still has enough old warships for sale, which will not affect daily transactions.

After receiving these captured pirate warships, according to the plan, a large number of marines should be dispatched to land on the pirate base island, eliminate the remaining pirates on the base island, and occupy the entire base island.

However, it was already past 5 p.m., and it would be dark in a while. Although the purpose was to allow the Marines to conduct actual combat training, they would not fight in the dark.

After all, the visibility at night is poor, and any unexpected situation cannot be effectively controlled. It is better to wait until dawn.

Only the Cunningham Squadron, in order to clear out the fleeing pirate warships as soon as possible, continued to pursue them even at night. After all, night was the best cover for the pirates, and it also allowed them to escape the aerial reconnaissance of the Cunningham Fleet.

However, these pirates do not know that among the main carrier-based aircraft currently equipped on the aircraft carriers of the Chinese fleet, in addition to the TBF Avenger torpedo attack aircraft, the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter, the F4U Pirates carrier-based fighter, and even SB2C Helldiver bombers, all equipped with onboard radar.

And after Watt, a top scientist in radar research, joined the scientific research center, the progress of the radar scientific research team was quite smooth, although it was still unable to upgrade the shipboard radar system from level 8 to level 9.

However, in terms of airborne radar, quite gratifying breakthroughs have been made. The F4U stealth carrier-based fighter and SB2C Helldiver bomber, which originally used pods with airborne radar, have now been eliminated. radar pod.

Instead, like the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter, the airborne radar, which has been further reduced in size, is integrated into the fuselage fairing, which is more convenient.

Equipped with airborne radar, although it is only an airborne radar used for air search and does not yet have sea and ground search capabilities, it gives these three carrier-based aircraft the ability to fight at night.

It is not night interception or night bombing, it is just night reconnaissance. Equipped with airborne radar, carrier-based aircraft flying at low altitudes without the risk of getting lost can also detect large surface ships sailing on the sea.

Anyway, as long as these carrier-based aircraft can detect surface ships and report the intelligence to Cunningham, it doesn't matter whether the ones discovered are warships belonging to pirate forces.

Anyway, when the surface ship catches up, the identity of the opponent can be quickly determined through the shipborne radar's friend-or-foe identification system.

After dawn, transport ships and landing ships loaded with Marine Corps soldiers left the small space one after another and appeared in the great navigation world through the Yanhuang port dock in the form of a base.

This large-scale landing fleet sailed at high speed towards the pirate base island 50 kilometers away. Halsey took some warships of the assault fleet to escort the landing fleet.

A voyage of more than 50 miles is not very far. Even if these transport ships full of Marine Corps officers and soldiers are not fast, less than 20 knots, it does not take long to reach the pirate base island.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Nimitz originally wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to carry out actual combat training for a landing operation. Therefore, under Halsey's order, the assault fleet responsible for escorting the landing fleet first mobilized nearly light and heavy cruisers to face the base. The island was bombarded indiscriminately.

Not long after the large-scale bombing began, Halsey, who personally supervised the battle, became itchy and ordered all battleships to join the bombardment.

Although in terms of production costs, these battleships were Large-caliber main gun shells are much cheaper than those of light and heavy cruisers, but Halsey is just a soldier, just fighting. He does not need to worry about shells, production or even funding. That is Zhou Guolai and Speer. Anyway, Ye Bai and Nimitz did not say that they would not allow battleships to bombard the pirate base islands. Let’s have a good fight first. The pirate base islands were already destroyed by carrier-based aircraft forces and Yamato in yesterday’s battle. The battleship formation headed by the class battleship used secondary guns to blow up the earth, and the nearly 100,000 pirate personnel on the pirate base island suffered heavy casualties.

Originally, these pirates thought that the ground troops of the Chinese fleet would land on the base island yesterday afternoon. Many of them The pirates were even ready to surrender.

As a result, from afternoon to dark, and from dark to dawn, not even a shadow of the Chinese fleet's ground troops could be seen.

These pirates, who had been on tenterhooks all night, thought that the Chinese fleet They had other purposes and were relieved that they would not land on the base island for the time being.

And because they had stayed up all night, many pirates casually found a place to lie down on the base island that had been bombed into ruins. He went to bed without even having time to eat.

As a result, a large number of artillery shells of different calibers suddenly flew in and once again enveloped the entire pirate base island.

Huge explosions sounded, and the sky was filled with fire, smoke, shrapnel, The gravel and sand splashed everywhere under the shock wave of the shell explosion, and a thick layer of smoke enveloped the entire island.

As for the pirates who had just fallen asleep not long ago, they were unlucky and had no idea what happened. Many pirates were blown to pieces while they were sleeping, leaving no intact corpses.

Those pirates who were lucky enough not to be directly killed got up from the ground as soon as they turned over, screaming and running around, trying to escape Fierce bombardment, but it was not of much use. There were too many warships participating in the bombing, and more shells landed on the pirate base islands.

In order to better train the fleet for ground bombing, Halsey asked the assault fleet to After bombarding for a full 2 ​​hours, so many shells of different calibers exploded on the pirate base island. A large number of craters appeared on the island, one next to another, almost connected into a piece, almost covering the ground of the entire island. A layer has been cut off, that is, in the world of navigation, there are systematic rules for protection. Otherwise, such a large-scale bombing, 747 may cause other natural disasters. In a chain reaction, the entire base island will be bombed and sunk. After having a good time and emptying out all the high-explosive bombs stored on each warship, Halsey ordered the bombardment to stop and allowed the transport ships and landing ships full of Marine Corps officers and soldiers to dock at the port..

One by one, fully armed Marine Corps officers and soldiers disembarked from the transport ship, and the tanks and armored vehicles transported by the landing ship also successfully landed on the base island amidst the roar of their engines.

The Marine Corps' formation was large, but in fact it had no practical significance. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the assault fleet, the entire pirate base island was almost leveled.

Their current landing is not so much a landingFighting, it is more appropriate to say that it is to clean up the mess. This makes many Marine Corps officers and soldiers look a little unhappy. They think that the guys in the fleet are too ruthless and have finished all their work, leaving little leftovers. They didn't even leave them behind, they simply regarded them as a corpse collection team.

However, as the commander of the landing force, he was very clear about Nimitz's intentions, because even if he did not encounter any resistance, he still allowed the landing force to proceed honestly according to the training in the past.

Once something is wrong or abnormal, it is immediately regarded as a firepower point or important military building. Without saying a word, the fleet and the carrier-based aircraft group hovering over the island are contacted via radio to request fire support. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Since it is about actual combat training, of course it is necessary to show the momentum of actual combat, but it cannot be charged randomly. Without the active cooperation of the pirates, the navy and army The team can only use their imagination and deliberately create all kinds of troubles for the landing operation.

Through this imaginary method, we train the cooperative operations between the surface fleet, carrier-based aircraft units and the Marine Corps. Although this will waste a lot of time, energy and more artillery shells, it can have a very good training effect...
