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

Not only was the battle at sea fierce, but in the sky, carrier-based aircraft units from both sides were also chasing and attacking each other. Fire whips flashed past, and from time to time, a carrier-based aircraft could be seen being shot down.

Now Ye Bai's eyesight is much better than before, and he has learned a way to count the data by himself. Even without paying attention to the statistics on the radar display screen, he can roughly estimate the number of carrier-based aircraft on both sides.

There are about 100 carrier-based aircraft belonging to the Chinese fleet, all of which are F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, and the number of carrier-based aircraft with pirate skull patterns painted on their fuselages is about 300.

However, although the number of carrier-based aircraft on the pirate side is large, their composition is somewhat complicated. They include Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets, Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers, and Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft.

Such a fleet, even if it is large in number, is no match for the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter group. It is almost suppressed and beaten in the air, and it is in a state of panic. Almost all carrier-based aircraft shot down in the battle belong to the pirate forces.

"What is the situation like in the air battle in the sky?"

Although judging from the battle situation, the Chinese fleet clearly has the absolute upper hand, Ye Bai is still a little puzzled. Didn't Nimitz take the lead in sending out a fleet of attack aircraft to launch a night bombing on the pirate base island?

Then why is it happening now? A carrier-based aircraft unit of the pirate force flew over the fleet and started a fight. Ye Bai, who had not been at the center of the battle from the beginning, of course did not understand what was going on.

"Sir, this is the last bit of wealth that the pirate forces have. After the base island and ground airport were bombed by our attack aircraft group, they used all the remaining carrier-based aircraft in the ground airport and the carrier-based aircraft equipped on several aircraft carriers. All the planes were released~ come out"

"They probably wanted to make a desperate move and directly bomb our fleet, but we were released early and were caught by the fighter units acting as air security. What's more, these pirates also underestimated the anti-aircraft firepower of our fleet, especially the Yanhuang.-"

Nimitz's tone was very calm, and he explained the situation to Ye Bai with a relaxed look.

This made Ye Bai a little surprised. This group of pirates was really bloody. They would adopt such an all-or-nothing strategy, leaving no room for anything. Not only did they send out all the carrier-based aircraft, but also the water surface All ships were dispatched. If they were defeated, it would be equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.

As for the fleet air defense firepower of the Chinese fleet, it is of course even more complicated. The scientific research center has successfully mastered the technology of VT proximity fuze a long time ago, which has greatly enhanced the air defense effect.

Subsequent upgrades to the radar system, and the installation of fire control radars on each warship, further improved the accuracy of the fleet's air defense firepower. With the cooperation of the two, the air defense firepower of the entire fleet can far exceed that of the conventional fleet.

As for the Yanhuang, from the outside, it appears to be almost unequipped with close combat and anti-aircraft weapons, but when it was upgraded before, so much armament space was not a waste of time.

The 127mm flat dual-purpose naval gun, 40mm anti-aircraft gun, 20mm cannon, and 12.7mm caliber machine gun are quite complete. As for the number, it is even more terrifying. There are hundreds of them in total.

It's a coincidence that just when Ye Bai was satisfied with the construction of the Chinese fleet's air defense system, he relied on his comrades' suicide attack methods and, with the idea of ​​dying together, flew a landline with several F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters. Crash together.

Such a suicide attack not only damaged or even destroyed several F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets responsible for interception, but also opened a gap in the air defense line constructed by the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter group responsible for interception in the sky.

Although the pilots in the sky reacted quickly, other F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets flew over and blocked the gap. However, taking advantage of this short gap, several bomber formations belonging to the pirate forces suddenly He rushed over and attacked the largest Yanhuang.

Although most of the warships in the entire main fleet are engaged in fierce artillery battles with the pirate fleet at the front, Yanhuang is still surrounded by more than 10 warships of all levels, performing air defense and security tasks.

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Seeing these dozen Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers and Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft rushing over, all the anti-aircraft firepower on each warship opened fire, building a complete and dense air defense firepower network to target these attack aircraft. The interception was launched.

Although there were not many warships building this air defense fire network, with the presence of fire control radar and VT proximity fuze, the hit rate of air defense fire was quite high. It was not easy to break through the F6F Hellcat carrier The dozen or so attack planes intercepted by the fleet in the air were shot down amidst intensive anti-aircraft firepower before they even got close to the Yanhuang.

Although the remaining half of the attack planes approached the Yanhuang, these pirates The pilots didn't know that their nightmare had just begun.

Following Nimitz's order, the Yanhuang, which had been silent, suddenly burst out with powerful anti-aircraft firepower. Hundreds of anti-aircraft weapons of different calibers were all fired at this moment. Fire.

That guy, this kind of anti-aircraft firepower is even more intense than the anti-aircraft firepower of a fleet of more than 10 warships surrounding the surrounding area. These pirate pilots who finally got close had no time to react. I only felt that the Yanhuang suddenly became A huge fireball, a large number of tongues of fire spit out, and then I felt the aircraft constantly vibrating, and I didn’t know anything after that. It was just a few old-fashioned carrier-based aircraft with backward performance, and the powerful anti-aircraft firepower suddenly burst out in front of the Yanhuang. Under the blow, before making any evasive action, he was beaten into huge balls of fire in the sky. Ye

Bai, who was staying at the center of the battle, saw this scene clearly through the monitoring screen, and it was the first time Seeing the Yanhuang's fangs exposed during air defense operations, that's a lot of satisfaction.

"Nimitz, aren't there any coastal defense artillery fortresses built on the pirate base islands? If we had the assistance of the coastal defense artillery fortress, wouldn't we have more advantages in the fleet artillery battle?"

You don't need to worry too much about the situation in the air battle. The Chinese fleet is suppressing the opponent. Taking advantage of the number of carrier-based aircraft, it is indeed possible for the pirate forces to break through the air interception and rush to the top of the fleet.

But I just saw Yanhuang. After the terrifying anti-aircraft firepower of the Yanhuang, Ye Bai no longer had any worries. With such anti-aircraft firepower, let alone a few attack aircraft, even if there were dozens of them, the Yanhuang would not be frightened..

There is no need to worry about air defense operations. Ye Bai focused on the fierce fleet artillery battle ahead. He just glanced at the data on the radar display screen.

According to the radar detection situation , the sea area where the Chinese fleet and the pirate fleet are fighting is still more than 20 kilometers away from the pirate base island. This distance is completely within the effective range of the coastal defense artillery fortress.

But Nimitz just introduced the battle situation At that time, there was no mention of the coastal defense artillery at all, which made Ye Bai a little confused.

Hearing Ye Bai's question, Nimitz shook his head and said softly:"No, according to Heydrich's interrogation of those who were According to the information obtained by the captured pirates, this pirate island had not developed for a long time after all. All the energy and resources were put on increasing air power, and no coastal defense artillery fortress was built."

Ye Bai nodded. He became more familiar with and understood the real pirate force by asking Qiu Haonan and Shen Deyi, especially the explanations given by Shen Deyi.

Although the birth of a pirate force has certain conditions and requirements , but the subsequent development is actually similar to that of the aboriginal forces occupying the island, except that the latter has the ability to be self-sufficient, while the former can only rely on robbery to survive. They are all used as bases, and the pirate base islands are naturally the same, except In addition to the much smaller area, various factories, shipyards, ground airports and coastal defense gun fortresses can also be built.

The premise is that you have enough resources. It can even be said that in the entire world of navigation, war is The eternal main theme, but there is also a saying that is good: logistics is all about fighting a war. Without sufficient supply of logistics resources, you are not even qualified to participate in the war.

Pirate forces make a living by plundering resources. To put it bluntly, they only depend on the weather. , if you are lucky, you can plunder a large amount of raw material resources in one attack, but if you are unlucky, not only will you not be able to grab the needed resources, but you will have to pay heavy casualties.

For example, the pirate force in front of you, isn't it in China? The fleet suffered a big loss. Not only did the main fleet that attacked the transport fleet suffer heavy losses and were forced to disperse and flee the battlefield, but now it was also attacked by the Chinese fleet and was given a face-saving output. Even the old nest could not be saved..The system's rule setting is somewhat detrimental to the survival and development of the pirate forces, but they have also been compensated by the system. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In terms of obtaining new warships, the pirate forces can not only compete with Aboriginal forces and player forces alike can build various warships by building shipyards, obtaining construction drawings, and consuming raw materials.

The system also gives pirate forces another way to obtain new warships, which is to consume more raw materials. , directly recruit NPC pirate warships operating nearby through the system.

Although this method requires more raw material resources, it can obtain a large number of warships in a short period of time, without having to search for warship construction drawings or waiting. That long warship construction cycle.

However, although this method is very convenient, it also has a flaw, that is, these recruited NPC pirate warships are not new warships with advanced performance, but just old warships.
