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

"Nimitz, do you mean that this pirate fleet attacking the transport fleet is not simple?"

Nimitz nodded solemnly and said,"If I remember correctly, the escort fleet has 2 light aircraft carriers, 2 escort aircraft carriers, and 5 battlecruisers, coupled with dozens of light and heavy cruisers and destroyers. , with such power, the average small-scale pirate fleet is no match at all. Ye

Bai's expression changed instantly. He quickly turned to look at the officer who had just come over to report, and asked loudly:"Did the message forwarded by the Garrison Fleet Headquarters mention the size of the pirate fleet that attacked the transport fleet?""

"Report sir, no"

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and send electricity to Langsdorff and ask about the specific situation?"

"Yes, my lord."

While waiting for the signal force to contact Langsdorff, Ye Bai seemed a little anxious. It was a coincidence that Fletcher had just left with a large fleet, and this happened. I don’t know what to say about this kind of thing.

Ye Bai and Nimitz didn’t wait long. Since Langsdorf dared to summon the guard fleet to support, he must have mastered the relevant information, and even ordered from No. 308 More than a dozen reconnaissance planes took off from the ground airport on the island to conduct aerial reconnaissance, and found out the general situation of the pirate fleet that attacked the transport fleet.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, based on the report of the escort fleet, combined with the aerial reconnaissance of the aerial reconnaissance aircraft, General Langsdorff analyzed that the number of battleships in this pirate fleet is no less than 150, including at least 7 aircraft carriers, more than 10 battleships and ~battlecruiser"

"General Langsdorff also said that with the strength of the pirate fleet, the escort fleet could at most delay them, but could not defeat them and ensure the safety of the transport fleet. He requested that the guard fleet be dispatched immediately to support the escort fleet."

After hearing the contents of the telegram reported by the communications staff, Ye Bai's expression changed again. He did not expect that this pirate fleet would be so powerful, not to mention the number of more than 150 warships, including about 20 large main warships. No wonder the escort team, which is capable of fighting a strong battle, requested support.

"Nimitz, what do you think? Should we immediately order Langsdorff to lead the guard fleet to support?"

Although he was anxious, Ye Bai also knew his ability, so he still handed over the decision-making power to Nimitz. He just expressed his thoughts by asking.

Nimitz shook his head and said softly:" Sir, the battlefield where the escort fleet and the pirate fleet are fighting is more than 150 kilometers away from us. Even if Langsdorff leads the guard fleet to rush there, it will take more than 3 hours, and there is not enough time."

"The top priority now should be to order the ground airport on the island to take off a large number of fighters immediately to provide air support for the escort fleet and buy time for the support fleet."

"Okay, I listen to you, go and send the report quickly, order the fighter planes to take off from the ground airport, and be sure to protect the escort fleet."

"Yes, my lord."

When the communications staff officer went to send a telegram again, Nimitz continued to say to Ye Bai:"Sir, let Langsdorff order the guard fleet to strengthen its vigilance. Lütjens's second fleet also returned quickly to strengthen 308 With the defense force of the small island, the main fleet pulled anchor and set sail to support the escort fleet."

Hearing Nimitz's words, Ye Bai was stunned on the spot. He never expected that Nimitz would come up with such a plan, and his brain was completely unable to react.

"Sir, please give me the order first. I will explain the specific matters to you in detail on the way."

Based on his trust in Nimitz, Ye Bai waved his hand and asked him to issue orders to each fleet. He himself walked to the console, hesitated for a few seconds, and then pressed the button to send the Yanhuang It transformed from the base form into the battleship form.

A sound of sirens sounded on the military port pier, and the warships belonging to the main fleet started one after another, leaving the pier berth with a stream of black smoke and sailing to the open sea. area.

At the same time, the warships belonging to the guard fleet that were also moored at the berth of the military port also started their power systems, drove out of the dock, and began to patrol the offshore waters alternately. Reconnaissance aircraft flew over the sky. A reconnaissance of the surrounding waters was launched.

When the main fleet left the island No. 308 and quickly sailed towards the waters where the escort fleet was located, Nimitz finally had the opportunity to explain to Ye Bai why he issued such an order.

"Sir, do you think that after the large-scale purge some time ago, the pirates operating in this sea area can really organize such a large fleet?"

Ye Bai was stunned again when he heard this. He was originally waiting for Nimitz's explanation, but as soon as this guy opened his mouth, he gave him a difficult problem, which made him have to quickly turn his little head to think.

"No, it stands to reason that the patrol fleet, the player fleet, and the new fleet commanded by Fletcher have cleaned up the entire sea area several times. Although these pirates are killing endlessly, there should only be some small-scale pirate fleets active. , we don’t have such a large fleet."

"Nimitz, since you asked this question, do you suspect that those who attacked the transport fleet were not the real pirate fleet, but were pretended to be by other hostile forces?"

Nimitz shook his head and said softly:"No, the officers and soldiers of the escort fleet have always been responsible for the task of escorting the transport fleet. They have fought against the pirate fleet many times and are quite familiar with pirates. I believe they will not I misjudged the identity. This fleet must be a pirate fleet."

"What do you mean?"

"Sir, although it is a pirate fleet, I remember you once said that there are two types of pirate fleets, one is randomly refreshed by the system, and the other is the real pirate force."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Ye Bai nodded and said:"Yes, the pirate forces operating in the great maritime world do have these two different situations. Are you doubting it? they are……"

Before Ye Bai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nimitz:"Your guess is correct. The ones that were wiped out by patrol fleets and player fleets before were all pirate fleets randomly refreshed by the system operating in the surrounding waters. The fleet attacking the transport fleet now should come from a real pirate force"

"Nowadays, in the surrounding sea area, only the real pirate forces have the ability to organize and dispatch a huge fleet of this size."

Ye Bai frowned tightly and remained silent. He was thinking rapidly in his mind. After a moment, he asked doubtfully:"But even if this pirate fleet comes from a real pirate force, a guard fleet will be dispatched to support it. That's all. Why do you want the main fleet to rush over to support, and why do you need to transfer Lütjens's second fleet back to the island to assist the guard fleet in defending the island No. 308?"

0Flowers requested0 0Although he agreed with Nimitz's judgment on the pirate fleet, Ye Bai still couldn't figure out why Nimitz issued such an order. It felt a little unreasonable. If nothing else, the second fleet returned. , doesn’t it mean giving up patrolling the surrounding sea areas?

"Sir, this pirate fleet has 7 aircraft carriers and more than 10 battleships and battlecruisers. The remaining strength of the guard ships and the escort fleet combined is not more than a tie with the other party. It has the ability to take off from the ground airport. With the air support of a large number of fighter planes, there is no problem in winning. It is true that there is no need for the main fleet to go into battle."

"However, my subordinates are considering that in this battle we must not only defeat the pirate fleet and protect the safety of the transport fleet, but most importantly, we must follow them and find the home base of this pirate force."

Facing Ye Bai's doubts and confusion, Nimitz calmly stated his thoughts and plans, leaving Ye Bai stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to react, and he was afraid of a large-scale attack. Nimitz thought of so many things, and quickly made a follow-up plan, preparing to take the blame for this sudden pirate force.

"If it is just to support the escort fleet and repel the attack of the pirate fleet, General Langsdorff and his guard fleet are enough to complete this task, but to completely destroy this pirate island that suddenly appeared in the nearby waters, the power of the guard fleet It's not enough. Let the main fleet take on this task."

"The main fleet is going to be dispatched anyway, so there is no need to go to such trouble. Simply give the task of supporting the escort fleet also to save General Langsdorff and his guard fleet from having to make another trip."

"Nimitz, so you ordered Lütjens to return with the Second Fleet in order to prepare for the island defense problem on Island No. 308 after the main fleet left?"

Nimitz nodded and said matter-of-factly:"Letting General Lütjens' second fleet return is indeed out of safety considerations. After all, up to now, we are still not aware of this sudden attack. The pirate forces know nothing about it, nor do they know how strong they are."[]

"If their attack on the transport fleet was intentional, in order to lure the guard fleet out and split their forces to attack Island 308, that would be a big trouble. Although my subordinates think this possibility is unlikely, Still have to be fully prepared."

Nimitz said it very easily, but Ye Bai felt a little horrified when he heard it. This guy is worthy of being a naval marshal. He has considered all these aspects in such a short period of time and made a plan. He was fully prepared.

According to his deployment, no matter what the plans of this group of pirates were, the Chinese fleet would have enough power to deal with possible changes, and he could be said to have peace of mind. In the same accident, he still On the first level, he simply made targeted deployments based on existing intelligence. As a result, Nimitz was already on the fifth level.

Thinking deeper and further, he even considered possible changes that might occur in the future. We went in, they were all the same people, why was the gap so big?
