Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

The direct access to the deck is not good at this point, unable to achieve the simultaneous take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, which greatly reduces the take-off and landing efficiency of carrier-based aircraft, and the Yanhuang is slightly lower than that of regular aircraft carriers because of the relationship between escorting aircraft carriers.

Therefore, in the small space of the logistics module, after obtaining several warship construction drawings and building the shipyard, Ye Bai’s first order to those ship experts and naval architects was to let them improve the take-off and landing efficiency of carrier-based aircraft according to the construction drawings of the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier.

The simplest way is, of course, to add two lifting platforms in the side direction, which can transport more carrier-based aircraft at one time, but this solution can only improve the efficiency of transporting carrier-based aircraft from the hangar to the deck, and returning the carrier-based aircraft on the deck to the hangar, so that the large-capacity hangar of the Yanhuang can play a better role.

The problem of simultaneous take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft has not been effectively solved, for this problem, Ye Bai from the earth is quite clear, only need to transform the original straight through deck into an angled deck, such as those aircraft carriers in later generations.

But this method Ye Bai has communicated with those experts, and I don’t know whether it is the ability of these experts or the rules of the system, Ye Bai has told them all the knowledge about the angled deck in his memory, and as a result, they are all like listening to the heavenly book, saying that unless they get relevant technical information or construction drawings, they can’t do this.

Ye Bai, who failed to start the small abacus, could only be quite disappointed to let him 06 give priority to the matter of the side side lifting platform, after all, unlike the modification of the fleet’s subordinate warships that require shipyards, all the modifications of the Yanhuang can be completed through the system panel, which is very convenient.

Ye Bai gave orders for the entire fleet for the first time, but he still made a mistake and had already arranged the takeoff of the first batch of sub-carrier-based aircraft, and Ramsey, who turned around, happened to hear Ye Bai’s explanation to Lütyans.

After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: “Commander, in fact, you have thought too much, although the current takeoff and landing efficiency of the Yanhuang is not high, but the enemy we need to face is not strong, and General Lütyans’s suggestion is feasible.” ”

Compared with Lütyans, Ramsey was better at aviation combat command, so his advice made Ye Bai pay more attention.

“Ramsay, you elaborate.”

Ramsey fixed his mind and explained: “Commander, according to our current situation, the number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched at one time is preferably about 60, and I have just ordered the dispatch of 1 Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber group, a total of 64 carrier-based bombers, to bomb the enemy fleet in the southwest direction. ”

“After they take off, we can take off again with 2 or 3 squadrons of Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft and bomb the eight enemy destroyers in the west, so as to attack enemy fleets in both directions at the same time.”

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: “But after the bombing is over, we need to wait until all the nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft have landed and are included in the hangar before we can dispatch the carrier-based aircraft again, how much time will it take in between, have you calculated?” ”

The expression on Ramsey’s face was quite calm, and he said softly: “Commander, with the connection of the radio station, we can control the battle situation on the front line at any time, and before the bombing is about to end, we can send the third batch of carrier-based aircraft groups in advance.” ”

“And the speed of the Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber and the Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft is not the same, and the first to return must be the faster Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber, and when they have landed, the Skua torpedo attack group will also return, and there will be no congestion and waiting.”

“In the same way, after recovering the first and second batch of carrier-based aircraft groups, if necessary, we can also immediately take off the fourth batch of carrier-based aircraft groups to attack the enemy fleet in the southwest direction, as for the enemy fleet in the west, I believe that under the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of swordfish torpedo attack aircraft, they will not hold out for long.”

“In the end, they only have 8 destroyers, and with the friendly light cruisers sent by the commander and the Changning and Pengze to block, I don’t think there is a need for a second round of bombing.”

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Lu Teyansi, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face.

Since recruiting Lütyans, Ye Bai took over the operational command of the fleet for the first time, and originally thought that he had considered it thoroughly, but it turned out to be a big joke.

He only considered the low take-off and landing efficiency of the Yanhuang, in order to ensure that he could quickly take off the second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups to bomb the Japanese Bon Combined Fleet, but ignored that the player fleet in the west only had 8 destroyers.

However, Ye Bai is also the commander of the dignified Huaxia fleet, all of the bridges are his subordinates, and there are no outsiders, the embarrassed look on his face flashed, and he nodded again and again and said: “Well, you go and arrange, wait until the first batch of carrier-based aircraft take off, and then touch the swordfish torpedo attack of 2 squadrons.” ”

“Yes, Commander.”

Just when Ramsay gave the order to the hangar to prepare for the second group of carrier-based aircraft groups, 2 light cruisers and 3 destroyers had already gone in different directions, traveling at high speed on the sea at a speed of 28 knots, leaving only a lone Yanhuang in place.

Anyway, this is a copy space, all the hostile forces have been discovered by the shipborne reconnaissance aircraft sent out, even if there is only one escort aircraft carrier, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy, otherwise Ye Bai Gao will have to leave a battleship escort by his side.

With a speed of 28 knots, even the farthest southwest battlefield, it only takes 1 hour to reach smoothly, and the closer west, or opposite the group of player fleets, will take less time for the two sides to meet.

However, compared with the high-speed warships sailing on the sea, the carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky were obviously faster, and one after another Skua carrier-based aircraft fighter-bombers jumped up from the flight deck of the Yanhuang with full fuel and ammunition and rose into the air.

Then they flew and hovered in the air, waiting for other carrier-based aircraft to take off one after another, until a whole group of 64 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers were all lifted into the air, and then under the command of the group leader, they formed a formation in the air and flew mightily to the southwest.

The first batch of carrier-based aircraft all took off, the ground crew on the Yanhuang was not idle, the centerline takeoff and landing aircraft constantly lifted the swordfish torpedo attack aircraft in the hangar that had been filled with fuel and aerial bombs to the deck, and then took off in turn under the control of the pilot.

Because of the oversized number of carrier-based aircraft and the low take-off and landing efficiency of the Yanhuang, Ye Bai has specially explained that each carrier-based aircraft that takes off to perform a mission, the bomb load can be reduced, but the fuel must be fully loaded, that is, in order to avoid a large number of carrier-based aircraft returning home, there is enough fuel for them to fly and hover in the air, waiting for landing.

At this moment, in the southwestern seas, the Beiyang Naval Division Fleet has engaged the Japanese Bon Combined Fleet, in terms of numbers, each side has 12 warships, there is no gap, and the Beiyang Naval Division also has two of the strongest ironclad ships in East Asia – Zhenyuan and Dingyuan.

At first glance, the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division Fleet still has the upper hand, but the truth is completely the opposite, in the Beiyang Naval Division Fleet, except for the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, the other warships are all small warships of the 1 or 2,000-ton class, and there are several old-fashioned warships with a total tonnage of only more than 33,000 tons. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

And almost all of the Japanese-benzene combined fleet are 3, 4,000-ton class cutting-edge warships, with a total tonnage of about 41,000 tons, and the most important thing is that the entire Japanese-benzene combined fleet is equipped with 97 rapid-fire guns of various calibers, while the Beiyang Naval Division fleet does not have a single rapid-fire gun.

In addition to these, the speed of the two fleets is also quite different, it can be said that the Japanese-benzene combined fleet completely occupies the advantage, and they almost lost both.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

As soon as the two sides fought, they directly entered the white-hot stage, and shells flew out of the muzzles with thick smoke, fell into the opponent’s array, and exploded 570 water columns in the sea.

If according to the original history, the two sides fought for only half an hour, the Chaoyong and Yang Wei, who had served in the Beiyang Naval Division for more than 13 years, would have been hit by multiple shells from the Japanese-Bon Combined Fleet, and a fire broke out in the cabins inside the hull, resulting in one sinking and the other stranded.

It’s just a pity that this time the naval battle is only in the copy space, not real history, and it will not take half an hour for the 64 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers to fly over the battlefield.

Not long after the exchange of fire, the Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber group flew over the battlefield, the roar of the engines muffled by the deafening roar of artillery fire on the sea, and neither side noticed the arrival of this group of dead vultures in the air.

What’s more, in this era, there is no concept of air fighters at all, at most know the existence of airships, not to mention that the battle situation is very fierce at the moment, where is the mind to pay attention to the situation overhead.

In this era, the shells used by the Beiyang Naval Division were almost all black powder, and the shell charges of the Japanese-Bengan Combined Fleet were picric acid explosives, but they all had one thing in common, and the shells would produce thick smoke during the explosion, which was easy to obscure the line of sight.

This is the case now, when the smoke from the shell explosion, as well as the black smoke from the chimney after the coal burned, drifted over the warring sea, forming a large plume of smoke.

However, for the pilots, there was not much impact, and the lever was pressed, and they flew down from the sky, through the smoke, and flew above the warships of the Japanese and Ben combined fleet.

At this moment, the battle has not been going on for a long time, the fleets of the two sides are about 3 kilometers apart, and they still maintain a relatively complete formation, and the flag hanging on the mast allows the pilots to easily find the attack.

As soon as the throttle was retracted, the speed was reduced somewhat, and it flew over the warships of the Japanese-Bengeon Combined Fleet, while not forgetting to reward a round of ammunition and aerial bombs.
