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

Nimitz had obviously considered everything and it was not a sudden idea. When he heard Ye Bai's question at this time, he answered in an orderly manner.

"A real squadron requires them to be able to stand alone and undertake important combat tasks, even defeating a hostile fleet alone or capturing an island."

"Such a squadron will completely lose the supplies of Yanhuang. Logistics supply, battleship maintenance and other aspects need to be completed independently by the squadron. Now we can take advantage of this opportunity to conduct actual training, discover and solve problems."

Ye Bai nodded. He had to admit that what Nimitz said was completely correct. As the scale of the main fleet gradually expanded, a real squadron also needed to be formed.

In the case of senior commanders , On the one hand, the Chinese fleet is not lacking. The four senior officers, Cunningham, Halsey, Spruance, and Lütjens, are fully capable of independently commanding a squadron. They even currently serve as commanders of the garrison fleet. Fletcher and Lancelot are also capable of commanding a squadron. It can be said that there are no problems with personnel. There is no need to worry about the new warships used to form a squadron, even if This time, the small space was not able to complete the upgrade. Without a large number of newly acquired raw material resource points and three newly built shipyards, the original shipbuilding capacity was enough. So many old warships were sold before, and they were not sold in vain. In return, a large amount of raw materials will be used. In addition to continuing to build old warships, the rest will be invested in the construction of new warships.

Every once in a while, a batch of new warships will come from the shipyard. The slipway was stepped down and launched into service. With Speer's overall control, the shipbuilding plan for new warships was proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, the construction period of these new warships, especially large main warships, is not short. The new warship building plan submitted here has been completed, and the time it will take will not be too short.

Even if the small space for another upgrade is building three new shipyards, when these three shipyards are completed and put into use , it can indeed increase the speed of shipbuilding, but it will not cause earth-shaking changes.

Before completing all the shipbuilding plans, there is still a lot of time for the Chinese fleet to carry out various trainings, and even Nimitz has already planned Okay, after more heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers are launched into service, we will first form a squadron.

Let this squadron, which is the first to form an army, carry out various trainings and form combat effectiveness, and wait until the war actually starts. , this squadron that was the first to form an army can truly take charge of its own affairs.

This time, Cunningham's temporary squadron was allowed to use time to conduct maritime supply training, and the Halsey assault fleet carried out landing combat training before, both of which were out of the question. For this purpose.

The two squadrons that were first formed will serve as fleet commanders. However, this news has not been announced yet. Only Ye Bai knows about it. It is still under planning. Not to mention, the temporary squadron The training is really meaningful. From the moment it was established, the entire Chinese fleet has never experienced supply at sea, and has no experience in this area at all. Regardless of how many officers and soldiers of the main fleet have experienced In this naval battle, the combat capabilities and combat experience are much stronger than when they were first recruited.

However, in the field of maritime supply, because I have never experienced it or have any experience, during the supply training process, I really However, many problems arose. Although Cunningham was experienced and capable, as the commander of the temporary squadron, he could not complete the supply work on behalf of the officers and soldiers in the fleet.

The problems that occurred during the sea supply training of the temporary squadron were all recorded one by one. These are valuable experiences and wealth, which will be precious to other squadrons and even the entire Chinese fleet in the future..

This time leaving the island No. 308, all the main fleet's tactical goals were achieved. The pirate forces that were deliberately"raised" were eliminated, a pirate base island was destroyed, and Yuntong Island was one step closer to being a medium-sized island..

It's just actual combat training for landing operations. After all, it's not the first landing. It's more about training the coordinated operations between the fleet and the Marine Corps.

Maritime supply training is crucial. After reuniting with the temporary squadron, all the warships once again formed a whole. Cunningham no longer had to command the fleet and returned to the center of the battle on the Yanhuang.

They discussed and discussed with Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance, and Lütjens all day long, providing targeted suggestions based on the problems that arose during the maritime supply training of the temporary squadron.

The content of these discussions was too professional. Ye Bai, a layman with two swords, listened tentatively for a while, but it felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.

After this period of study, Ye Bai didn't know anything about naval warfare. He had some understanding and had his own thoughts and experiences. He was no longer a complete novice and could be called a dabbler.

But it is this kind of half-heartedness that is the most terrifying. Listening to the discussions of these senior officers, each word is vague and understandable, but together, some can be understood and some cannot. This is the most tortured thing.

Later, Ye Bai would rather hide aside and continue reading than listen in. He would rather leave it to professionals like them and he would not interfere.

The sea area where the pirate base island is located is only more than 1,000 kilometers away from Yuntong Island. At the speed of the Chinese fleet, it actually only takes 3-4 times to successfully reach it.

It’s just that the main purpose of going to Yuntong Island this time is to refit the Yuntong Island garrison fleet and add the new warships that have been launched into service to the garrison fleet, so as to completely eliminate the old warships and old warships. Carrier-based aircraft.

Fortunately for carrier-based aircraft, the main fleet has already completed the replacement, and there are still many new carrier-based aircraft in reserve. The key is that the small space is large, more ground airports can be built, and the number of docked carrier-based aircraft Correspondingly, there is a lot more.

Even if the number of new carrier-based aircraft in reserve is insufficient, the problem is not big. It is completely possible to transfer some of the large number of carrier-based aircraft equipped by the Yanhuang itself and replenish it to the Yuntong Island guard fleet, and then replenish it with new carrier-based aircraft produced in a small space. That’s the Yanhuang number. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After all, after returning to Island No. 308, once the expansion of the main fleet is completed, it will set off again. If nothing unexpected happens, it will basically not return again in a short time. Yuntong Island is here, and this is the only opportunity to give Yuntong Island a large-scale facelift. In the future, we can only make some minor repairs.

0Flowers requested0So in order to get things done right at once, the entire Yuntong Island garrison fleet was refurbished on a large scale, and some new warships were added. This put a lot of pressure on shipbuilding in a small space.

Before the new warships in the small space shipyard were launched, it was of little significance for the main fleet to arrive at Yuntong Island in advance. It happened that many problems arose during the temporary squadron's supply of the fleet at sea.

Nimitz simply let the main fleet sail slowly on the sea, stopping from time to time to conduct a maritime fleet replenishment training to verify the solution they had discussed before and improve the speed and safety of the fleet's maritime replenishment.

The main fleet rushed all the way to Yuntong Island slowly. When a large number of warships successfully arrived at the Yuntong Island port terminal and berthed at the berth of the military port, all the new warships built in the small space shipyard for the transportation channel guard fleet were also Launched into the water and temporarily anchored in a small space.

At this time, it was the turn of Ye Bai, who had been playing soy sauce for a long time, to come on stage. The Yanhuang once again changed from the battleship form to the base form to facilitate the free entry and exit of the battleship.

Fletcher, who had already received the order, had already transferred all the old warships in the Yuntong Island guard fleet back to the Yuntong Island military port. The patrol fleets still performing patrols and suppression missions in the sea were all new warships that had been added previously. composition.

Although the number of new warships in the Yuntong Island garrison fleet is not large, there is still no big problem in forming a patrol fleet. With the help of Wu Yichun and his fellow players, the daily patrol and suppression work of the patrol fleet has not been affected too much. Big impact.

As soon as the Yanhuang arrived and transformed into a base, the officers and soldiers of the Yuntong Island Guard Fleet drove old warships into the Yanhuang's port terminal and entered the small space through the transmission system.

After these old warships entered the small space, a large number of officers and soldiers of the guard fleet left their long-serving warships and boarded the newly launched new warships, which will be their future weapons.

Although the process of changing the equipment of the guard fleet was very cumbersome, the experienced veterans moved very quickly. In only half a day, all the old warships in the guard fleet were eliminated and replaced with new ones. Battleship.

Although the officers and soldiers of the garrison fleet are not very familiar with the performance of these new warships after refitting, at present, the garrison fleet does not have any large-scale combat missions, and there is no need to rush to put them on the shelves.

They still have a long time to train and run in, so that they can become familiar with these new warships more quickly and form combat effectiveness.

On the way to Yuntong Island, Ye Bai knew that he was going to acquire a large number of old-fashioned warships. They couldn't just put them all in a small space to eat dust, so he contacted Shen Deyi early and told him that he could start a new warship. Rounds of battleships were traded.

Shen Deyi had sent him a telegram before, saying that the recent situation was not very good. The small aboriginal forces that had previously purchased warships from Ye Bai wanted to further enhance their military strength, so they simply came to him and continued to purchase a warship. Batch three old battleships..
