Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

Even though they had been thinking about the mysterious disappearance of the transport ship, Ye Bai and the officers quickly fell asleep and slept until dawn.

When I got up from the bed, washed up and came to the bridge, the carrier-based reconnaissance plane sent out early to reconnoiter the situation on the pirate island had returned, and the pictures taken by the high-altitude reconnaissance camera had been washed out.

When Ye Bai entered the bridge, he saw several officers gathered around the chart table, looking at the printed photos one by one, and whispering something from time to time.

“How? Folks, what did you find? ”

Hearing Ye Bai’s voice, everyone turned their heads and gave a military salute to Ye Bai, and Lütyans, the highest rank, spoke: “Commander, through the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft, there is indeed something wrong on the side of the pirate island, we carefully compared the reconnaissance photos at dusk yesterday and found that there was an extra destroyer on the dock.” ”

“One more destroyer?”

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, only to find out before night yesterday that 4 transport ships disappeared on the island, and now that the sky is dawning, there is one more destroyer, what the fuck is the situation?

Ye Bai felt that he was two heads bigger, and asked with some uncertainty: “Did this extra ship to expel the “197” ship come from other places yesterday evening?” ”

Lütyans shrugged his shoulders and said softly: “I’m sorry, Commander, we can’t give an answer to this question, after all, yesterday evening, we didn’t continue to monitor the pirate island, so no one knows where this destroyer came from.” ”

Yes, the mysterious disappearance of the 4 transport ships has not yet been figured out, and now there is another destroyer that has appeared bizarrely, which is not to make matters worse.

Fortunately, this fucking mother is not a world of solving cases, there is no need to find the roots, the most important thing at present is to immediately attack the pirate island, destroy the pirate fleet, capture the pirate island, although there is an extra destroyer, but for the overall strength of the pirate, there has not been a earth-shaking change, and the difficulty of the attack is not too great.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Bai said categorically: “Okay, no matter where this destroyer came from for the time being, we will continue to implement the original plan, send attack aircraft groups, and bomb the pirate fleet.” ”

Ye Bai hammered the tone, it was considered to set the tone, and the others naturally had nothing to say, before night yesterday, under the command of Lütyans, the fleet had already arrived about 100 kilometers away from the pirate island.

Although this distance is indeed very close, there are a large number of reconnaissance aircraft distributed around, and if there is any unexpected situation, these reconnaissance aircraft can also issue early warning, so that the fleet has enough buffer time.

The most important thing is that through detailed reconnaissance, on the pirate side, the existence of fighters is not found, which makes the fleet do not need to worry about encountering pirates’ air interception and air attacks, and the worry of closing the distance is alleviated a lot.

Speaking of it, Ye Bai felt a little regretful, yesterday was for this matter, Ramsey and Lü Teyansi have always opposed their attack plan, and as a result, today, it is still implemented according to Ye Bai’s original plan, which is not equivalent to wasting a lot of time in vain.

If the attack on the pirate island had been launched yesterday afternoon, maybe the mysterious disappearance of the four transports and the sudden appearance of a destroyer, they would have been able to figure out where they were so confused as they are now.

As soon as the order for the attack was given, the teleportation platform installed in the hangar finally came into play, and for the first time, 20 carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft were teleported above the deck, and they were responsible for reconnoitring the surrounding sea area and monitoring the pirate island.

While these carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft that were teleported to the flight deck began to take off in turn, the ground crew in the hangar pulled the swordfish torpedo attacks that had been filled with fuel and loaded with aviation torpedoes to the teleportation platform, and when the flight deck was vacated, the transmission began immediately.

With the instantaneous teleportation capability of the teleportation platform, the time consumption of pulling the carrier-based aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck is almost negligible, and the only thing that can be limited is that the number of flight runways is limited, which cannot be solved for the time being, unless the Yanhuang’s straight deck is transformed into a beveled deck.

After all the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft took off, the squadron of squadron of swordfish torpedo attacks transmitted from the hangar began to take off in an orderly manner, and in the hangar, a squadron of squadron of swordfish torpedo attack aircraft was sent to the teleportation platform.

With the assistance of the teleportation platform, the takeoff efficiency of the Yanhuang’s carrier-based aircraft instantly increased by a lot, and in just a few teleportations, all the swordfish torpedo attack aircraft of the three squadrons responsible for the first round of attacks were released.

After all 48 Swordfish torpedo attacks were lifted off, they formed a flying formation and flew in the direction of the pirate island, while in the rear, the same number of Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers were still taking off one after another.

After 48 Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers took off and flew out of the Yanhuang in formation, it was the turn of the last batch of 32 tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters of the last two squadrons to take off.

Such a take-off sequence of carrier-based aircraft is completely different from that of aircraft carriers in real time and space, and in World War II, carrier-based aircraft of aircraft carriers took off in a way that first took off carrier-based fighters, then carrier-based bombers, and finally torpedo attack aircraft.

The reason for this is determined by the length of the skid distance required by the three carrier-based aircraft to take off, and also because the limited area of the hangar makes some carrier-based aircraft need to be tied to the flight deck.

When carrier-based aircraft take off into the air, it is natural to give priority to carrier-based fighters parked in the front of the deck with the shortest gliding distance, then dive bombers, and finally bulky torpedo aircraft.

However, the Yanhuang is different, the hangar area transformed from space spar is too large, there is no situation that it cannot accommodate all carrier-based aircraft, but there is still a large part of the area vacated, and there are no more carrier-based aircraft to fill.

In addition, the completion of fuel and ammunition replenishment on the flight deck is bound to accumulate a large amount of fuel and ammunition on the flight deck, and the safety is too low, so all the carrier-based aircraft of the Yanhuang are stored in the hangar, anyway, there is a transmission platform, it is very convenient to transport the carrier-based aircraft in the hangar to the flight deck.

That’s why Ramsay developed such a takeoff sequence, with the slowest Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft starting first, followed by the slightly faster Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber, and finally the fastest tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighter.

Although the three carrier-based aircraft took off separately, they flew at different speeds, and by the time they approached the pirate island, the carrier-based bombers and carrier-based fighters in the rear had caught up with the torpedo attack aircraft that took off first, forming a larger bomber group. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Of course, this is also because the pirate side does not have air power, and there is no need to worry about pirate fighters intercepting them in the middle, otherwise Ramsey will inevitably release carrier-based fighters first and clear the airspace.

In the first wave of attacks, Ramsay directly sent one-third of the carrier-based aircraft, more than 100 of them, with the idea of completely damaging the pirate fleet in one attack.

The reason why 2 squadrons of tube-nosed swallow carrier-based fighters were also dispatched is only because it is a pirate island, even if there is no too strong anti-aircraft fire on the pirate warship, ground anti-aircraft fire is possible.

The purpose of these carrier-based fighters is to destroy these anti-aircraft firepower and open up relatively safe attack routes for bombers and torpedo planes behind.

The distance of 100 kilometers is less than half an hour for a carrier-based aircraft with an average speed of about 300 kilometers per hour, but in view of the large number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched this time, it took nearly one hour for the attack aircraft to reach the sky over the pirate island.

The pilots of the carrier-based reconnaissance planes, who had already arrived at the high altitude of the pirate island and were always monitoring, immediately contacted the attack aircraft group and told them that so far, the pirate fleet below had not moved at all, nor had they detected their presence.

Since the pirate side did not find them, then naturally there was nothing to be polite, one after another swordfish torpedo attack aircraft quickly lowered their altitude, whistled and flew at low altitude, quickly approached the pier of the pirate island, and at close range, threw out the mounted 730KG class aviation torpedo.

Since the pirates are completely defenseless, then naturally they must first use powerful torpedoes to attack, even if the pirates have ground anti-aircraft fire, they cannot organize effective anti-aircraft fire in a hurry, which is the best opportunity to attack.

The warships moored on the rudimentary pier did not have a 4.6 start at all, and they lacked a large number of crews, which were completely the best living targets, which could make the swordfish torpedo attack first attack have a great effect.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

One by one, aviation torpedoes fell from the belly of the swordfish, fell into the sea, and flew at high speed below the surface of the sea with white trails, crashing headlong into the waterline of the pirate warship, followed by a violent explosion.

It is a torpedo attack that is launched at close range, and the hit rate is much higher than that of shipborne torpedoes, plus these pirate warships are in a stationary mooring state, and there is no evasion action at all, which further improves the hit rate of torpedoes.

The first batch of Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft were as many as 32 squadrons in 2 squadrons, and 32 730KG-class aviation torpedoes attacked the stationary pirate fleet, so that these pirates who were not prepared were directly stunned.

With a violent explosion, most of the pirate warships moored on the dock have blown open a huge opening, visible to the naked eye, the cabins inside the hull have been destroyed a lot, but I don’t know if these destroyed cabins have vital cabins, such as power cabins, power cabins and the like.
