Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

However, the 4 Tubenose Yan carrier-based fighters who had been stranded over the battlefield for more than an hour were not dry food, and when they learned on the radio that the Yanhuang was going to send a bomber group to launch aerial bombardment on the warships below, they began to pay attention.

While eating melons and watching the play, they were looking for the light cruisers of the pirate fleet, and as soon as the bomber group arrived, they immediately reported the location of the pirate light cruisers they had discovered to the bomber group through the radio.

With specific bearings, one after another Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers did not hesitate in the slightest, quickly dispersed and went in the direction of the pirate cruiser.

Although the Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber is a bomber, it is also equipped with a 47.7mm diameter aviation machine gun, and after dropping the mounted aerial bomb, it can immediately turn into a fighter to participate in air combat.

At this moment, although their task was to bomb the pirate warship, they did not drop bombs at the first time, but first used machine gun fire to strafe the superstructure of the pirate cruiser.

“Tap-da-da”, “da-da-da”, “da

The machine gun roared, the muzzle of the tongue of fire spewed out, and a round of 7.7mm gun bullets flew out of the muzzle, hitting the various “303” positions of the pirate cruiser, and those pirates whose bodies were exposed were directly beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets, leaving a lot of blood.

Suddenly encountered an air attack, the pirates were also a little shocked, some pirate crew members rushed to the position of the triple 25mm empty machine gun on the battleship, ready to use these anti-aircraft machine guns to launch aerial fire.

It’s a pity that the power of this triple 25 anti-aircraft machine gun equipped on the pirate battleship is for the time being, and other aspects can be described as quite pitted, requiring six or seven people to operate, not to mention, and there is no shield or turret.

In the strafing of the Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers, the members of the machine gun crew suffered heavy casualties, and the barely organized anti-aircraft fire did not pose the slightest threat to the fighters flying quickly in the air.

After using the aviation machine gun to strafe the pirate battleship, the tension in the pilots’ hearts finally relaxed a lot, pulled up again, aimed at the location of the pirate battleship’s main turret and dived down, and when passing at low altitude, the mounted 227KG aerial bomb was dropped.

The power of this level of aerial bombs is not small, if it falls on the ground, it can blow up a huge pit with a diameter of 4 and a depth of 1 to 2 meters, and the effect of falling on a warship is also quite amazing.

Before the bomber group set off, due to the special rules of engagement of the great maritime world, Ramsey specifically explained to the bomber pilots, when performing aerial bombing, the target of the attack was aimed at the main turret position of the enemy warship.

Although the target is the main turret of the pirate warship when attacking, in fact, the performance of the Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber is not good, the bombing accuracy is not high, and it is not a precision-guided bomb, where can it be so easy to hit accurately.

The aerial bombs that were dropped often missed their targets, and although they successfully landed on the hull of the pirate warship and exploded, they did not blow up the main turret of the battleship.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

The free-falling aerial bomb easily pierced the weak deck of the pirate battleship, and a violent explosion occurred inside the battleship, causing serious damage to the pirate warship under the huge explosive power.

If it is in the game world, it can be clearly seen that the blood bar on the head of the pirate battleship has been knocked off in an instant.

In fact, both Ye Bai and Ramsey used carrier-based bombers to carry out aerial bombing in the world of navigation for the first time, and they did not know how much damage the aerial bombs dropped by carrier-based bombers would cause to enemy warships.

Using the armor value as a reference, a 227KG level aerial bomb exploded on a pirate battleship, enough to knock out nearly a thousand armor points of the pirate warship, which is no worse than the power of the 533mm diameter torpedo, but far more than the power of the 152mm gun.

Compared with long-range attack torpedoes and 152mm guns, this kind of close bombing from the air, the hit rate is far more than a large one, in fact, the results are much greater, according to the power of this level of aerial bombs, a full state of pirate light cruiser can withstand the explosion of 13 227KG class aerial bombs at most, will be completely sunk.

(Note: In fact, the power of aerial bombs will not be so great, but in order to make the protagonist’s plug-in play better, the author has increased the power of aerial bombs, I hope book friends will not be real)

Then it is necessary to have light cruisers in full state, this battlefield has been fought for so long, almost all battleships have different degrees of damage, where there are still full state battleships.

Just four Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers dropped aerial bombs, and in a series of violent explosions, they blew a pirate light cruiser into scrap iron and sank to the bottom of the sea with a thick body of smoke.

The first bomber group dispatched by the Yanhuang had a total of 24 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers, as well as 8 Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft, and by the time all the carrier-based aircraft had dropped all the aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes they carried, pulled them up to high altitude, and formed a formation, as many as 4 light cruisers and 5 destroyers had been sunk in the battlefield below.

The 4-tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters who watched the whole battle almost witnessed the results of the first wave of bomber groups, and were stunned, and when they returned with the bomber group, they remembered to report the results of the first wave of bombing to the Yanhuang.

At this moment, in the bridge of the Yanhuang, Ye Bai, Lütyans, and Ramsey only knew that the bombing operation of the first wave of bomber groups was very smooth, but they did not know the specific results, until they heard the report of the pilots of the carrier-based fighters of the tube-nosed swallow, they understood the specific situation, and immediately looked at each other.

Lütyans sighed helplessly: “What a powerful bomber, when our fleet sank 6 semi-crippled light cruisers in a row with 2 light cruisers and 2 destroyers, it took a lot of time and effort, and there were still damage to itself, and now relying on carrier-based bombers can fight so easily.” ”

Ramsey was also a little confused, and said incredulously: “OH, MyGod I can only say that everything is God’s masterpiece, when will carrier-based bombers have such great power, commander, we must continue to increase the number of bomber equipment, let the fighters and torpedo planes go to hell.” ”

Ye Bai wordlessly glanced at Ramsey who fell into the carnival, and shook his head helplessly, although he was also frightened by the results of the first round of bombing, but he did not lose his mind, it is impossible to equip all aircraft of one type on an aircraft carrier, and it is necessary to make a reasonable combination……….

The reason why carrier-based bombers can achieve such results is that the attack damage is strong, and secondly, because those warships on the battlefield do not have any decent anti-aircraft firepower at all, so that the Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers can quite calmly bomb these warships, and the bombing accuracy is quite high. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Moreover, the other side does not have aircraft carriers, and even more so there are no carrier-based fighters to serve as air vigilance, otherwise, where would the bombing operation of the Yanhuang be so easy.

But these are future things, the most important thing now is to quickly arrange the follow-up bombing, since the results of the battle are so rich, do not take this opportunity to increase the attack, what to wait for.

“Colonel Ramsay, hurry up and let the second wave of bomber groups take off, 4 idle tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters accompany the attack, carry out reconnaissance missions, confirm the results of the bomber group, ground crews are ready, prepare to receive the returning bomber group, complete the supply of fuel and ammunition as quickly as possible, today we are going to play the big one.”

Seeing the effect of aerial bombing, Ye Bai felt that his previous plan seemed to be a little conservative, as long as there were enough carrier-based bombers, nearly 10 warships were sunk in just one round of bombing, including 4 light cruisers.

If all of them are replaced with destroyers and gunboats with weaker armor, this result will not be doubled, and the numerical superiority of the player’s fleet will not play much role at this moment.

“Yes, Commander, I’ll arrange it right away.”

The excited and ecstatic Ramsey was reminded by Ye Bai and quickly returned to normal, turned around and went to convey the order, leaving a lonely Lütyans with a lonely face.

As a traditional admiral, Lütyans can be said to be hit hard at this time, and the powerful power of carrier-based bombers allowed him to see the scene of aircraft carriers replacing battleships and becoming the hegemon at sea, which is quite uncomfortable for a supporter of giant ship artillery.

It is conceivable that the future development of the Chinese fleet will inevitably focus on aircraft carriers, which makes them advocate bayonets at sea and hold up giant ship cannons frontal 3.0 bombardment where to go, and I don’t know if it is too late to learn aviation combat and other knowledge now.

Ye Bai did not care about comforting Lütyans at this time, nor did he have the heart to guess Lütyans’s psychological activities, and he now only wanted to continue to add more carrier-based bombers.

After yesterday’s series of big moves, Ye Bai now has more than 500,000 funds left in his hands, these are reserve funds, which cannot be used as a last resort, if you want to continue to buy carrier-based bombers, you need to open the drop treasure chest.

The first wave of bomber groups successfully blew up 9 warships, and there were also 9 more dropped treasure chests of different levels in the bridge of the Yanhuang, although because it was not an independent sinking, the level of dropped treasure chests was reduced, but it was good to have a reward.

Without too much action, he directly opened all 9 dropped treasure chests, temporarily did not care about the equipment that was rewarded, and focused all his attention on the monetary reward.

Although the level of the dropped treasure chest was reduced, the reward of the system still did not disappoint Ye Bai, and 9 dropped treasure chests of different levels brought Ye Bai a reward of more than 300,000 funds.
