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

At this time, Ye Bai's previous benefits of spending money to upgrade the internal communication system of the battleship were demonstrated, before upgrading, he had to rely on the phone to issue orders to one cabin after another, especially during the battle, it was even more troublesome to communicate with each other.

Now, as soon as the alarm bell rang, the crew members who were busy or resting were instantly alarmed, and hurried to their respective posts to make pre-war preparations, and at the same time, orders were also transmitted to the ears of the crew through the communicator on the post.

With Qi Sicheng always paying attention to and adjusting the course of the Yanhuang, Ye Bai was much more relaxed, and he only needed to seize the opportunity to give the order to open fire.

The Yanhuang maintained a maximum speed of 12 knots, crossed an arc on the somewhat slightly undulating sea, and maintained the attitude of facing the enemy on the side side, and the three twin-mounted main guns deployed in the forward, middle, and rear positions had raised their muzzles, and the members of the gun crew had already been in position, and even the shells were stuffed into the gun chambers, just waiting for the order from the bridge to be given, and they could open fire at any time.

Although the radar function on the Yanhuang has been upgraded, and the detection range has been doubled to 20 kilometers, this distance will not take much time for a warship to sail at full speed.

At least under the observation of the lookout on the lookout platform with the help of the telescope, he had already spotted the black smoke rising high in the distance and the figure of the battleship, and almost immediately grabbed the intercom next to him and reported the visual situation to the bridge.

Ye Bai did not delay, inquired about the distance between the two sides, and learned that he had entered a range of about 10 kilometers, so he directly ordered the three main guns to fire.

However, in order to make the firepower of the battleship better played, Ye Bai, the half-commander, did not participate, but asked the lookout to contact the members of each artillery crew directly to confirm the landing point of the shells and adjust the shooting elements.

Such a plan naturally does not conform to the rules of naval warfare, after all, the lookout is not an artilleryman, and can only provide the shell landing point and the approximate adjustment plan, and the rest can only rely on the artillery crew members to adjust themselves.

However, this is also a helpless move, in addition to the corresponding crew on Ye Bai's battleship, there is only one officer, Qi Sicheng, who is also a navigation staff officer, and there is no professional combat staff officer, so naturally he cannot effectively command the battleship gun battle.

In fact, even a gunner's commander is much better, and if the lookout reports the results of the artillery salvo to the gunner in a timely manner, the gunner can give orders to the members of the various gunners in a timely manner, adjust the firing elements, and give better results to the gunner.

But it's not nothing, Ye Bai, the captain of the ship, is even more of a half-hanger, not even a half-hanger, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a layman, and it is embarrassing to expect him to command the artillery battle.

Let Ye Bai command the members of the artillery crew, it is better to let the members of the artillery crew play on their own, maybe the effect will be better, after all, the level of the three artillery crew members is not low, and there are even more master-level gunners, so for the time being, they can only rely on experience and technology to make up for the lack of command.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

The three main guns were fired almost simultaneously, and six shells of different calibers flew out of the muzzles, streaked across the sky, and fell into the perimeter of the pirate gunboats that were moving in the distance.

With the faint sound of explosions, a large amount of seawater was blown out of the sea, splashed into the air, and finally dispersed into a large number of droplets and fell on the surface of the sea, as if a light rain had fallen.

Although he was on the bridge, even with the help of the telescope, Ye Bai's observation field was not as clear as that of the lookout on the observation platform, but Ye Bai still clearly saw the movements of the two gunboats on the other side and the black skull flag that represented their identities and hung on the mast.

It is worthy of the pirate force that roams the world of great navigation, even if it is suddenly attacked, the response of the two pirate gunboats is still quite fast, and it does not even mean to reduce the speed at all, and directly maintains a state of full speed, rushing towards the direction where the cannonball is flying, that is, the location where the Yanhuang is located.

Regardless of whether the two pirate gunboats discovered the existence of the Yanhuang or not, but according to the situation of the cannonballs flying, they already knew that the T-shaped head had been seized by the other party, and in the case of not being able to quickly turn the bow of the ship, quickly closing the distance between the two sides was their only choice, and many pirates were better at broadside combat than long-distance artillery battles.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom".

After a short cool-down period, the three main guns on the Yan Huang roared again, firing six shells and landing next to the two pirate warships that were moving away.

A large amount of seawater was blown up by the explosion of the cannonballs and fell on top of the pirate gunship, drenching the pirate crew on the gunboat.

"Boom", "Boom".

However, after the distance was shortened, the crew of the pirate gunboat was all in place, and the specific location of the Yanhuang was discovered through the observation of the lookout, after all, the Yanhuang had already fired two salvos, whether it was the flight path of the shells or the fireworks and gunsmoke emitted from the muzzle, even in broad daylight, the position of the Yanhuang was exposed to the sight of the pirate lookout.

As soon as the position of the Yanhuang was revealed, it ushered in the fierce counterattack of the pirate gunship, although the bow was facing the enemy, the pirate gunboat could only use the main gun in the bow, but it was quite resolute, without the slightest hesitation, showing the ruthlessness of the pirates to the fullest.

Moreover, the two pirate gunboats were not really rushing violently, and when they launched a counterattack with the main guns in the bow, they were still quickly adjusting their course, and the two gunboats were heading in two directions, one left and one right, as if they wanted to turn the hull sideways and give full play to the gunboat's maximum firepower.

And the reason why they had to divide into two directions, instead of maintaining a consistent course, was also because they found that the Yanhuang was a destroyer, both in firepower and armor, above the gunboats, and the only thing they had the advantage of was the number.

After all, at the same time, the Yanhuang can only catch one pirate gunship, which gives the other pirate gunboat a chance to fight back, as for which of the two pirate warships will become a victim, it depends on luck.

The pirate's division of troops was also seen by Ye Bai, and he hurriedly shouted: "Qi Sicheng, pay attention to grasp the course of the battleship, give the order to go down, concentrate all the firepower, aim at a gunboat and smash it, and sink the opponent as quickly as possible." "

In this situation, Ye Bai, a layman, couldn't think of any good way, after all, Yan Huang couldn't attack two targets in different directions at the same time, so he could only choose one target and beat it up, sink the other party as quickly as possible, and then free up his hands to clean up the other ship.
