Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

Similar to the previous first round of shelling, this salvo did not directly hit the opponent’s patrol boat, but only formed a close miss.

Such a hit rate seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the strength of a master-level gunner, but Ye Bai feels very policy, don’t look at the daytime, the gunner on the Yanhuang only used three volleys to sink an alien player’s patrol boat, and the hit rate was quite high.

But do not forget that there is no fire control radar on the current Yanhuang, all rely on the experience and technology of the gunner for mechanical aiming, and the hit rate is not high.

And now it still belongs to the night, the night fog covers the entire sea, the vision and shooting boundary are not as open as the day, if it were not for the high-power searchlight equipped on the Yanhuang to clearly illuminate the opponent’s patrol boat, I am afraid that even if the master gunner personally operated, it would not be possible to form a near missed bullet so quickly.

“Boom”, “Boom”

While Ye Bai was thinking about it, a cloud of fire continued to explode on the sea, and the roar of artillery and the explosion of shells rose and fell one after another, all of which were caused by the fierce artillery battle between the Yanhuang and the opposing patrol boat.

However, in contrast, the Yanhuang is much easier, with searchlights to provide illumination, master gunners to command and operate naval guns, and the hit rate is quite high, and 2 shells have already accurately hit the opposing patrol boat.

Although the counterattack of the opposing patrol boat looked huge, in fact, in this kind of night battle, it was simply indiscriminate fire, and the shells that flew over landed more than 300 meters from the closest to the Yanhuang, and not even a hair of the Yanhuang was injured.

Ye Bai’s face showed a smile, the opposing patrol boat was only 500 points of armor value, and was hit by two shells from the 102mm naval gun on the Yanhuang, it can be said that there is only a trace of residual blood left, no more, as long as one more shell comes, it can be completely sunk.

Sure enough, in the new volley of the Yanhuang, a shell landed accurately on the opponent’s patrol boat, and even without observing with a telescope, Ye Bai could clearly see through the glass of the bridge that a huge fireball suddenly rose on the sea in the distance.

“Boom”

A violent explosion sounded from afar, and on the display screen of the sea search radar next to it, the red point of light representing the local ship flashed a few times and disappeared completely.

All this means that the opponent’s patrol boat was finally directly exploded by the powerful firepower of the Yanhuang, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea as a fireball, and the sea surface illuminated by the burning fire also fell back into darkness.

The dazzling and intense white pillar of light on the Yanhuang still shines on the sea surface where the opponent’s patrol boat sank, and through the telescope, you can see that with the sinking of the opposing patrol boat, a large wooden box is floating above the sea.

“Go full speed ahead and salvage that box.”

With a movement in his heart, Ye Bai ordered the driver of the Yanhuang, and then walked behind the radar soldier, frowning and asking, “How is it?” What is the action of another enemy ship? ”

“Report captain, another enemy ship has changed direction and is rapidly approaching our position, which is already only 8,000 meters away.”

The radar soldier’s gaze did not retract from the display screen at all, still staring at the screen, and at the same time quickly explained to Ye Bai.

“Can you tell what class of ship the other party is?”

As soon as I heard that the distance between the two sides was less than 8,000 meters, this distance, whether it was a 102mm naval gun or a 75mm deck gun, was already within the effective firing range, if it were daytime, I am afraid that the other side would have opened fire long ago.

Ye Tiancheng’s heart was a little anxious, he was now eager to know what level of warship the other party was, if it was a patrol boat, even if it had the advantage of being the first hand, it was not the opponent of the Yanhuang today.

If it is a gunboat, the situation is not so optimistic, after all, although the Yanhuang has been upgraded to a gunboat, but the various equipment and weapons are still slightly different from the real gunboat, if it really fights, Ye Bai is not sure of victory.

The radar soldier shook his head a little helplessly and replied: “Captain, at present, I can only judge that the opponent’s speed will not be lower than 8 knots, and with this speed, it is temporarily impossible to know the opponent’s battleship level.” ”

Ye Bai’s face was stunned, since he couldn’t judge, there was no way, he could only be tough, he couldn’t directly turn the bow of the boat and escape, don’t forget, the high-power searchlight on the lookout platform was not turned off.

Such a strong light in this dark night, is tantamount to pointing out the target to the other party, if you want to escape, you can’t escape at all, if the other party is really a gunboat, with a maximum speed of 12 knots, you can completely catch up with the Yanhuang, which is currently only 9 knots.

If you really want to escape, it is not impossible, turn off the searchlight, it is dark, and in the case that the other party is not equipped with a search radar, the Yanhuang can completely slip away quietly.

But the problem is that there is not a wooden box floating on the sea now, this is the loot that Ye Bai obtained after sinking the enemy ship just now, and he can’t give it up in vain.

Although there is a high chance that the box is full of some basic materials, even if he gives up, Ye Bai will not be too distressed, but Ye Bai has a guess in his heart that the patrol boat that has just been sunk is likely to belong to the pirates specially arranged by the system.

Since it was a pirate’s patrol boat, according to the previous setting of the system, the first time was a special achievement, and it was with such a speculation that Ye Bai was unwilling to give up the opportunity to salvage the wooden box, preferring to take some risks for it.

Moreover, Ye Bai also had an idea in his heart, that is, no matter whether the other enemy ship detected by the sea search radar on the Yanhuang was an alien player’s battleship or a pirate warship in the novice trial, in the current situation of such a small warship, the possibility of being able to equip the radar was very small.

In this kind of night covering the entire sea surface, there is no moonlight illumination, there is no detection of the sea search radar, just by visual vision, even with the assistance of telescopes, it is simply impossible to judge whether the other party is friend or foe at a long distance.

It is precisely with this kind of thinking that Ye Bai thinks of going for a fight, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, if he can get a large number of system rewards, he can make the Yanhuang a big upgrade again, as long as his own strength is improved, even if he really encounters a pirate’s gunboat, Ye Bai is not afraid.

And it turned out that Ye Bai’s gamble was worth it, and although the other battleship detected by the sea search radar on the Yanhuang was rapidly approaching the Yanhuang, it did not mean to fire and was quiet.

No matter what the other party thought, whether he was worried that the distance was too far and the hit rate was not high, or he couldn’t judge the identity of Yanhuang for a while, and he didn’t dare to attack at will, but at least he bought Ye Bai time, so that he had enough time to salvage the wooden box floating on the sea.
