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

In addition to the air cover and support provided by the carrier-based aircraft fleet, as the Marine Corps officers and soldiers occupied a large area of ​​​​Mink Island, the port terminal has been evacuated and fell under the control of the Chinese fleet.

One transport ship after another departed from the port of the Yanhuang and transported large-caliber heavy artillery to Mink Island, giving the Marine Corps officers and soldiers who landed themselves a powerful artillery force.

On the other hand, Mink Island's ground armed forces have quite a few large-caliber heavy artillery. However, in the previous battle to block the Chinese fleet's landing force, they had been blown to pieces by the Chinese fleet's surface fleet and aerial bombers. A large number of large-caliber heavy artillery were lost.

In addition to the heavy losses of large-caliber heavy artillery, the ground troops of Mink Island also suffered heavy losses. However, the landing troops of the Chinese fleet are constantly increasing, with a small space larger than the area of ​​​​the medium-sized island as support. In terms of manpower , In terms of material resources, the Chinese fleet will never be lacking.

Under the circumstances, the ground forces on Mink Island are becoming increasingly unable to support themselves. If it were not for the Marine Corps of the Chinese Fleet strictly following the orders, after landing, every area of ​​Mink Island would be occupied and occupied. Control, one day is enough to capture the entire Mink Island.

This is not Ye Bai or Nimitz posing a problem to the landed Marines. It is actually the requirement of the system. If you want to gain control of an island, in addition to not allowing a high-level leader of the island to escape, you also need to control the island. More than 90% of the territory has been occupied and controlled.

Therefore, during the landing operation, it is not just as simple as destroying the island's ground troops' defense force, but also having to occupy all the island land and completely control it.

Under such requirements, the Marine Corps' landing operations will definitely not be fast, and even need to be carried out steadily. To occupy an area, it needs to be completely controlled to meet the occupation requirements of the system.

Ye Bai knew the system's requirements for occupying the island, but those alien players didn't know that. When they learned that the Blue Star players' ground troops had landed on Mink Island, and were going unstoppable all the way, these alien players all panicked. Bewildered, they all wanted to turn around and escape from the sea.

But from the intelligence that came later, they learned that the Blue Star players' landing operations were progressing very slowly, and they were still unable to completely capture the entire Mink Island.

This news made them ecstatic, thinking that the Blue Star players had to go on an expedition and carry limited ground forces, so they could not quickly occupy Mink Island. This was an opportunity for them.

Some Alien players even suggested that Blue Star players would definitely suffer heavy losses when they attacked Mink Island. If they returned to Mink Island to support them at this time, they might be able to take advantage of it.

No matter how bad it is, they can still destroy the opponent's surface fleet. As long as there is no surface fleet, the ground armed forces that Blue Star players have landed on Mink Island will become a lone force, and they can easily completely eliminate them.

After this battle, the strength of the indigenous people of Mink Island was extremely weakened, almost to the freezing point, and could no longer match the strength of their players. By that time, it would be hard to say who has the final say on Mink Island..

Therefore, the alien players who had already paid a huge price in casualties did not need to be urged at all. They increased their speed and followed the last main fleet of Mink Island back to Mink Island.

And they are constantly contacting other alien players scattered in the sea area, asking them to come and join together. Although these scattered alien players are also unable to escape the encirclement and suppression of the third fleet and break through the blockade of the submarine force, and they have paid a heavy price. cost of casualties.

But now if it merges with the main fleet, it will also be a powerful force and play a big role in the next battle.

Not to mention, there are more than 200 alien players who have actually escaped the encirclement and suppression of the Third Fleet and arrived in the waters off Mink Island. They only rushed a few times but were still unable to break through the blockade of the submarine force, and then they stopped at on the sea.

Now that the combined fleet has arrived, they have received new orders, and of course they have to rush over to join the combined fleet.

With the support of more than 200 players, the joint fleet that suffered heavy losses once again had more than 1,400 warships. They sailed at high speed and collided head-on with the interceptor fleet led by Langsdorf.

The First Fleet and the player fleet under Said only have a total of more than 1,500 warships. There are still more than 300 warships near the port of Mink Island, providing cover and support to the Marine Corps, as well as to several members of the fleet. Ten aircraft carriers provided protection.

In addition, Langsdorff led the attack formation to fight a battle with the fleet on Mink Island, which also cost a lot of losses. The total number of warships that Langsdorff could bring out to intercept the combined fleet was only about 1,100.

Judging from the number of warships, the United Fleet undoubtedly has the advantage. After all, there are more than 300 more warships, which is not a small number.

Moreover, many of the warships that intercepted the fleet were hit by artillery shells, their hulls were damaged, and their armor value was not at full value.

In this exchange of fire between the two sides, the interceptor fleet led by Langsdorff fell at a disadvantage. On the surface, it could not defeat the combined fleet.

Of course, this is only on the surface. There are many new battleships under the First Fleet, especially Yamato-class battleships and North Carolina-class battleships. In this kind of close-range fleet artillery battle, the combat effectiveness they can exert is Even more terrifying.

None of the old battleships equipped by the combined fleet could challenge them alone, so they had to separate three or even four main battleships to contain the firepower of these two large battleships.

The war started not long ago. Under the special battle rules of the great maritime world, no matter how powerful the Yamato-class battleships and North Carolina-class battleships were, they could not easily sink the battleships in the combined fleet in a short period of time.

After all, almost none of these battleships in the combined fleet had experienced combat. The hulls were not damaged, and the armor was in peak condition. To sink it, more shells must hit it.

But this superficial advantage could not last long. As time went by, the powerful firepower of the Yamato-class battleships and North Carolina-class battleships gradually came into play.

Artillery shells with a diameter of over 400mm continued to explode on the hulls of the battleships of the United Fleet, causing considerable damage to the hulls of these battleships and taking away a lot of the armor value of the hulls. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As time passed, some old warships in the combined fleet could no longer bear such losses, and their armor value was completely emptied and sank into the sea.

The most critical thing is that Nimitz certainly could not just send a surface fleet to intercept the combined fleet. He took off a large number of carrier-based aircraft from dozens of aircraft carriers behind and also joined the naval battle.

The warships of the Combined Fleet have not experienced battles and are in good condition. The carrier-based aircraft on each aircraft carrier are also almost intact. At the beginning, a large number of carrier-based aircraft were also launched from the aircraft carriers in the Combined Fleet, which matched those of the Chinese Fleet. The attack aircraft group launched a fierce air battle in the air, competing for air supremacy.

The surface fleet below was fighting fiercely, and the carrier-based aircraft in the sky were also intertwined. When the flames were spitting out, a large number of aviation machine gun bullets flew out of the muzzles and hit the opponent's carrier-based aircraft.

But in this kind of air battle, there is no doubt that the Chinese fleet has an absolute advantage. With its more advanced carrier-based fighter jets, the carrier-based aircraft belonging to the combined fleet are constantly being shot down like dumplings.

The number of carrier-based aircraft that can be carried on an aircraft carrier is limited. Not only does the United Fleet not have a high-tech warship like Yanhuang, almost all of the aircraft carriers in the fleet are light aircraft carriers, and there are also many escort aircraft carriers.

Is there an angled flight deck that can increase the number of carrier-based aircraft? Even if there is not much difference in the performance of the two carrier-based aircraft, the combined fleet is far inferior to the Chinese fleet in terms of the number of carrier-based aircraft.

Under the attack of F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, F4U Pirates carrier-based fighter jets and Zero fighter jets, the carrier-based aircraft that took off from the aircraft carriers in the combined fleet were shot down one by one without being able to hold on for long. The air supremacy on the battlefield completely fell into the hands of the Chinese fleet.

With air superiority, a large number of carrier-based bombers and torpedo attack aircraft can launch large-scale bombings against the combined fleet without any scruples.

Yamato-class battleships and North Carolina-class battleships have exploded with powerful combat capabilities. With their more powerful firepower and (Mo Zhao's) thick armor, they successively destroyed many main battleships in the combined fleet and began to turn the tide of the war.

As a large number of carrier-based bombers and torpedo attacks joined the battlefield, the battle situation changed faster and faster.

Under the double blow, the combined fleet, which was originally able to rely on its numerical advantage to fight back and forth with the interceptor fleet led by Langsdorff, instantly fell into a disadvantage.

In a short period of time, many warships were sunk, and more warships were hit by artillery shells, aerial bombs and even aerial torpedoes. The damage to the hull was considerable, and the loss of armor value was even greater.

This large-scale naval battle broke out in the afternoon. When night fell, it was finally over for the time being. Not only did the combined fleet fail to break through the interception of Langsdorff's interception fleet, it was still in the air and sea of ​​the Chinese fleet. Under the integrated attack, more than 200 warships were sunk, leaving only more than 1,100 warships in the fleet.

Although the interception fleet led by Langsdorf also sank some warships and damaged more warships, overall the losses were much smaller than those of the combined fleet. The warships in the fleet The number is still almost maintained at more than 1,000 ships.[]

In just half a day of fighting, the difference in the number of warships between the two fleets dropped rapidly from the original 300 to about 100..
