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

Of course, he could also think of the methods that these congressmen could think of, and asked Nimitz to make preparations in advance.

Of course, the most critical reason why the Chinese fleet is so well prepared is that the fleet's hard power is strong enough. Without the more than 700 Type XXI submarines, there is no way to mobilize a sufficient number of warships to attack the entire Mink The island is blocked.

If Mink Island cannot be blocked, it will naturally be impossible to prevent the Mink Island MPs from escaping from Mink Island. In the end, the occupation will inevitably fail due to the inability to meet the occupation conditions stipulated by the system.

Taking advantage of the battle between the two fleets in the offshore waters, five members of the Mink Island Parliament took a transport ship and secretly slipped away from Mink Island under the protection of several light cruisers and destroyers, hoping to rush to join the combined fleet.

As a result, they were attacked by torpedoes from multiple Type XXI submarines on the way. They were caught off guard and the leading destroyer was sunk without even the slightest reaction.

The remaining warships wanted to find the attackers, but unfortunately, they were attacked by submarines lying in wait underwater. With the sonar technology of Mink Island, there was no way to quickly find the Type XXI submarine.

They were unable to quickly find the underwater Type XXI submarine"507", so these submarines had an excellent attack opportunity. They used the torpedo's rapid loading ability to continuously launch torpedoes one after another..

Members of the Mink Island Parliament are all traveling on transport ships. Typical civilian ships have almost no protective capabilities. Even with the protection of the unique combat rules of the great maritime world, these transport ships will not be attacked by a heavy ship-borne torpedo. Sent to the bottom of the sea.

However, facing the torpedo offensive launched by the Type XXI submarine, they cannot hold out for long. The explosion of 2 or at most 3 torpedoes can clear the armor value of these transport ships and completely sink them.

The escorting light cruiser is better. After all, it is a serious combat warship. Its protective capability is much stronger than that of the transport ship, and its hull armor value is also relatively thick. In other words, it is able to survive the torpedo attack of the XXI-type ship. below and hold on longer.

But the problem now is that there are only two light cruisers in the fleet. Their mission is to escort the transport ship transporting members of the Mink Island Parliament, not to participate in the battle.

And even if these two light cruisers want to participate in the battle, they will not be able to play any role. Without a sufficiently advanced and powerful sonar system, a light cruiser specially used for air defense and anti-submarine warfare will face the underwater Type XXI submarine at this time. But it seemed so fragile.

The sonar system cannot detect the existence of submarines. In the dark, it cannot even observe the trajectory of torpedoes in the sea. Naturally, it is impossible to judge the possible location of submarines with the naked eye.

Even if the two light cruisers are equipped with depth charges, they cannot make any counterattack without knowing the location of the Type XXI submarine. They can only keep wandering on the sea, trying to find the submarine.

But such aimless searching was completely futile and useless. They themselves were even attacked by Type XXI submarines, and heavy torpedoes exploded on the hull.

The attack of Type XXI submarines is very secretive and poses a great threat to the fleet. However, the number is smaller after all, and the number of torpedoes carried in the submarines is also limited. It is not impossible to completely eliminate the entire fleet, but it is It takes more time.

Dönitz, who was good at submarine warfare, made a quick judgment after receiving the telegram from the submarine, reported it to Nimitz, and requested support.

SB2C Helldiver bombers carrying aerial bombs or aerial torpedoes flew out of the Yanhuang and flew towards the small fleet intercepted by the submarine force.

That night, the pilots and ground crews on the Yanhuang were really exhausted. Almost all of the more than 5,000 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched. It can be said that they single-handedly supported the air attack on Mink Island. Combat.

Although he is busy, from this battle, we can also see the power of the Yanhuang. Especially in such a long battle, the Yanhuang's attack power will not be reduced in any way. A single battleship can completely withstand it. That's a whole fleet.

With the support of carrier-based bombers taking off from the Yanhuang, the submarine force's attack on the small fleet became smoother. The two most powerful light cruisers in the small fleet faced the double attack of aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes, and It didn't last long and was soon blown up and sunk.

The light cruiser was sunk, and how long could the remaining destroyers and more fragile transport ships hold out? There was no decent resistance, and they sank to the bottom of the sea one after another with scars all over their bodies.

When this maritime interception battle, in which the submarine force acted as the main force, ended, the sky was not completely bright yet, and the battle in the offshore waters of Mink Island continued.

However, the hearts of the members of the Mink Island Parliament have completely sunk to the bottom, because they already know that several members who sneaked out from the island have been buried in the sea along with the transport ship that carried them.

When they received this news, many congressmen fell into despair, because not only the several congressmen who had died in battle had this idea, they also had it, but they were just a little slower.

But at this moment, they were also a little lucky. Fortunately, they moved a little slower, otherwise, they would be buried in the sea like their companions.

However, this kind of happiness did not last long. Soon, the hearts of the congressmen were filled with deep despair, because these fast-moving congressmen proved with their lives that Mink Island is now in a desperate situation. , let alone guarding the island, even wanting to escape from the island has become a luxury.

This news is undoubtedly the most painful for these congressmen, because their last trump card is gone and they can only stay on Mink Island to wait for death.

No matter how desperate these congressmen are, the attack formation led by Langsdorf has been intensifying its attack on Mink Island.

After a night of fighting, the fleet directly under Mink Island and the alien players staying on the island have suffered heavy losses, and there are not many battleships left.

The losses of the attack formation were not large. Although some battleships were sunk and many battleships were damaged by bombs, the overall combat effectiveness was maintained quite intact.

Under the command of Langsdorff, the attack formation sank all the remaining warships of the fleet directly under Mink Island and the alien players in just three hours after dawn.

The remaining coastal defense artillery fortresses were not spared. They were bombed into ruins by the indiscriminate bombardment of the 460mm guns of the Yamato-class battleships and the 406mm guns of the North Carolina-class battleships, as well as the low-altitude dive bombings of carrier-based bombers. 0.

After a night of rest, the pilots and carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carriers of the First Fleet and the player fleet have returned to their best condition and can take off for combat again.

Under the warm sunshine, carrier-based aircraft loaded with ammunition took off one after another from each aircraft carrier. They flew more than 300 kilometers in a short time, arrived over Mink Island, and joined the battle against Mink Island. Amid the massive bombing of the island.

The military forces belonging to the Mink Island side were already unable to withstand the attack from the attack formation led by Langsdorff and were in a struggling state.

Now that a large number of air attack aircraft have been added, it is even more difficult for Mink Island's military power to hold on. The few remaining warships quickly sank under the fierce attack of the Chinese fleet.

Under the joint attack of the attack formation and the attack fleet, before noon, the fleet directly under Mink Island and the alien player fleet were completely wiped out, except for those players who lost control and command due to the death of the player.

Except for the alien player warships that can only be moored at the berth of the port, there is no longer any warship that can be used for combat on the entire Mink Island.

Most of them were lost, and the sparse coastal defense artillery firepower of only a few remaining coastal defense artillery fortresses could not stop the approach of the attack formation. They could only watch the warships approaching quickly and arrive at the port terminal.

Under the close-range attack, the remaining coastal defense artillery fortresses were quickly blasted by the naval guns in the attack formation and were completely destroyed.

All the coastal defense artillery fortresses were destroyed, and the entire Mink Island was completely undefended, unable to stop the landing operations of the attack formation.

Before the battle was over, Nimitz and Ye Bai in the battle center of the Yanhuang learned about the battle situation on the front line. Under Ye Bai's personal operation in 5.3, the Yanhuang transformed from a base form into a battleship form..

He led the aircraft carriers and a large number of escort warships in the fleet to Mink Island at high speed to prepare for the next landing operation.

With the existence of the Yanhuang, there is no need for any supply ships and transport ships to ensure the fleet's logistical supply capabilities. A small space can also provide enough Marine Corps officers and soldiers as well as a large number of landing ships and transport ships to ensure the strength of landing operations.

Without the drag of those slow auxiliary battleships, the speed of the entire fleet can almost be maintained at around 30 knots, and the time it takes to reach Mink Island is less than that of an attack formation sailing at night. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After only a few hours of high-speed sailing, the fleet led by Nimitz and Ye Bai successfully arrived at the offshore waters of Mink Island, and met with the fleet led by Langsdorff. The attack formation converges.

After these few hours of sailing, the three-hour cooling period for the Yanhuang's transformation has long passed, and it easily transformed into a basic form again.form.

As the Yanhuang turned into a base, the Marine Corps officers and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed to Mink Island on transport ships and landing ships, preparing to launch the final attack on Mink Island..
