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

With no way to escape and no follow-up support, this mixed fleet had no choice but to stay on the battlefield and wait for subsequent attacks.

Among the officers and soldiers who were seizing the time to repair the warship and put out the fire burning on the ship's hull, no one doubted that the opponent's fleet would not be able to release the third wave of attack aircraft.

In two consecutive waves, more than 800 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched, which fully demonstrated the strength of the opponent's fleet. At least in terms of aircraft carriers, they completely overwhelmed the island of No. 308.

The key is that in the previous large-scale aerial bombing, the opponent's carrier-based aircraft did not suffer much losses. At most, about 100 were shot down. Counting those who were injured and unable to attack again in a short time, the opponent's carrier-based aircraft The loss will never exceed 300 aircraft.

This means that even if the opponent dispatches almost all carrier-based aircraft in the first two waves of attack aircraft, after completing the two bombings, the opponent will still have at least 500 carrier-based aircraft left. Such a situation in the air The force is fully capable of launching another wave of bombing attacks by a large fleet of aircraft.

It is not even necessary to dispatch all of them. Just an attack group composed of more than 200 carrier-based aircraft can sink the remaining warships of the mixed fleet to the entire"843" unit.

Now the only extravagant hope of the officers and soldiers in these mixed fleets is that the previous 800 carrier-based aircraft are already the entire naval force of the opponent. It will take a lot of time to complete the recovery and preparation of the attack aircraft group and attack again.

Under normal circumstances, a combat-capable aircraft carrier must have the ability to fly more than 30 carrier-based aircraft within 30 minutes, 20 of which perform attack missions and must be equipped with aerial bombs and Aviation torpedo.

In the recovery of the returning carrier-based aircraft group, more than 30 carrier-based aircraft need to be recovered within a maximum of 45 minutes. Therefore, for a light aircraft carrier with about 60 carrier-based aircraft, , prepare at least 2 waves of attack plans.

The straight-through flight deck cannot allow carrier-based aircraft to take off and land at the same time, and the take-off and landing efficiency is not very high. It first takes up to 40 minutes to recover the released carrier-based aircraft, send it to the hangar, and then spends another 30 minutes. It takes about 1 hour to fly out the carrier-based aircraft groups that have completed the preparation work before. It takes more than an hour in total.

Of course, in actual operations, this time needs to be further increased, because it involves a problem of elevator utilization efficiency. An aircraft carrier, depending on the number of carrier-based aircraft equipped, will only be equipped with 4 elevators at most, or even Light aircraft carriers with fewer carrier-based aircraft are usually equipped with only two lifts.

It takes about 5-7 minutes for a lift to complete its ascent from the hangar to the flight deck. In order to maximize the efficiency of the flight deck, all recovered carrier-based aircraft cannot be tethered to the flight deck. was sent to the hangar.

When the lift platform is limited, it will naturally take a lot of time. Therefore, among the combat indicators of aircraft carriers, they usually only dispatch two waves of attack aircraft groups. Only in extremely high-intensity battles , will dispatch the third wave of attack aircraft.

And compared with the dispatch time of the first two waves of attack aircraft, the third wave of attack aircraft requires more preparation time, and there is a gap of nearly 2 hours between the attack aircraft of the second wave. This time is enough. Let the attacked fleet make more responses.

This situation is naturally well known to the indigenous fleets who also own aircraft carriers and have considerable practical experience. Although due to various factors such as fighting will, training level, and tacit cooperation, this time will increase. Or shorten it, but generally it won’t be too outrageous.

If there is follow-up support, this time point is very critical, allowing the support fleet to arrive in time, thus turning defeat into victory, and making a dignified retreat no matter what happens.

It's just that this time, there is no backup fleet for the island No. 308. The newly occupied Yuntong Island must not be abandoned. A main fleet must be retained, otherwise it will cost so much this time. All in vain.

The only one that is truly capable of dispatching is the fleet stationed at Island No. 308, which is also the last main fleet of the entire force. With the island having a complete defense system, a group of warships are once again dispatched to grit their teeth. It can still be done.

It's just that Island No. 308 is nearly 3,000 kilometers away from the battlefield. Such a long voyage, even if it travels day and night, will take at least 2 to 3 days, and it is simply too late.

What's more, the number of warships left behind on Island No. 308 is not that many, and even if they can barely be mobilized, they won't be able to mobilize many, unless a large number of players are summoned to join the battle again, but there is really no time.

The group of players who participated in the battle before are still on their way back to Island No. 308. At this time, no matter how generous the task reward is, these players have no way to receive the task.

On Yuntong Island, those players who were active before either left Yuntong Island in time and did not participate in the previous war, or they joined the Yuntong Island camp and were defeated long ago and were forced to flee in desperation. This sea area has already gone to no one knows where at this time.

The remaining players are almost all players from the neutral camp or those who have joined the camp of Island No. 308. Now it is not that easy to recruit them to join the war.

The previous large-scale bombing had already made the players in the No. 308 island camp extremely nervous, and they even promoted it in the chat section, not to mention that there were still a few Blue Star player warships docked far away from the battlefield. They didn't get involved, they just watched the battle from a distance.

With the presence of these players, this battle will naturally not be hidden from the players, especially the players who are already active in this sea area. They have already received the relevant news, and naturally they also know that 308 has just won. The island's side suddenly suffered a big loss and suffered heavy losses.

Although Yuntong Island has just been occupied, the gunfire has not completely stopped. Missions have been posted in the government affairs hall, recruiting players to form a support fleet and rush to the warring waters to provide support.

But, those players who belong to the camp of Island No. 308 have already set off with the main fleet. Now they have been beaten and fled, and they will not get involved in this battle anymore.

As for the neutral players who did not get involved in the previous dispute between the two aboriginal forces on No. 308 Island and Yuntong Island, they are all very clear-headed. The strength of Yuntong Island was not weak before. No. 308 Island was in 2000 With the support of many players, the strength is stronger, and they have not interfered....

Now that they know that Island No. 308 has been beaten into such a mess, they will no longer mess with it. What's more, until now, these players don't know what kind of force is attacking Island No. 308..

Humanity's fear often comes from the unknown. This unknown mysterious force made these relatively clear-headed neutral players choose to watch the battle neutrally again, without any intention of getting involved. After all, there are only two small islands in this sea area. The development prospects are not too broad.

The number of players active here is not very large, and almost all of them are solo players. Even small player organizations will not choose to develop in this sea area.

Without the organization and call of player organizations with a larger number of players, lone players will not be easily tempted by these aboriginal forces and join their camp.

The officers in the mixed fleet also knew this. Now they took advantage of the two-hour preparation period required for the third wave of attack aircraft to directly order the fleet to evacuate. While sailing at high speed, they repaired the severely damaged warships..

These officers chose to evacuate at this time, of course not to get rid of the attack of the carrier-based aircraft group. After all, their speed was far inferior to those flying in the sky. Their real purpose was just to change their position and land on the ground in a small way. Increase the difficulty of attacking the opponent's carrier aircraft group.

Of course, these officers had no idea whether this approach was useful. After all, in the distant sky, there were still ship-based reconnaissance aircraft hovering, catching all the movements of their mixed fleet..

With the reconnaissance planes in the sky acting as eyes, the active evacuation of the mixed fleet is actually meaningless to a certain extent. The most real thought in the hearts of the officers in the mixed fleet is just to delay as much time as possible.

The duration of this battle was not short. The two waves of large-scale 5.9-mode bombing plus the preparation time for the attack took more than 3 hours, and it was getting late.

The main fleet of Island No. 308 set off from the port of Yuntong Island in the morning. When it arrived at the battlefield waters, it was actually almost noon. It would take time to merge half of the defense fleet.

When the first wave of attack aircraft of the Chinese fleet arrived over the mixed fleet and dropped the first aerial bomb and the first aerial torpedo, it was almost 2 p.m.

After more than 2 hours of fierce battle, the time has slowly come to close to 5 pm. In more than an hour at most, it will be completely dark.

As long as they persist until dark, the opponent's aircraft carrier will be almost destroyed, and no matter how many carrier-based aircraft there are, they will not be able to bomb the mixed fleet at night, and they will have a safe night.

Even the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft flying in the sky acting as eyes will be useless. Under the cover of night, they will be able to evacuate secretly and return to Yuntong Island, even though the defense facilities on Yuntong Island have been beaten to pieces by them before. , unable to provide them with any help, but at least they can join up with the remaining fleet to enhance the strength of the fleet..
