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

But Guangguang found no use. He just knew that Blue Star players had sent a large number of warships to attack Mink Island. The key was how to resist their attack.

After enduring four rounds of large-scale aerial bombings during the day, the fleet directly under Mink Island and the alien player fleet on the island had already suffered heavy losses. Now they have endured three rounds of large-scale night bombings, and the losses are still increasing..

Countless warships have been sunk and are still floating on the sea. The total number of warships with certain combat effectiveness is less than 400, and most of these warships have been attacked by more than 10 aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes. The body was in dilapidated condition, and the armor value of the hull was severely damaged.

How could such a broken fleet composed of a large number of broken battleships take the initiative to intercept the attack formation led by Langsdorff?

Therefore, without any hesitation, the members of the Mink Island Parliament ordered the fleet to assemble and form a formation in the offshore waters outside the port. They relied on the fire support of the coastal defense artillery fortress to resist the attack and approach of the attack formation.

Although the coastal defense artillery fortresses were bombed at night, many aerial bombs were dropped by carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Chinese fleet. Some unlucky fortresses were even directly blown up and lost their combat capabilities.

However, after all, the attack fleet of the Chinese fleet does not know the specific location of these coastal defense artillery fortresses, and has no ground guidance, so it cannot conduct precise bombing at night. Most of the coastal defense artillery fortresses have been preserved and still have strong combat capabilities..

The moment the night bombing began, all the members of the Mink Island Parliament were alarmed. Everyone was paying attention to this large-scale aerial bombing, especially the losses of the fleet.

Even though it was already early in the morning, they had no intention of sleeping and were still watching the development of the battle. To put it bluntly, they were worried about their own lives.

The dilapidated surface fleet and the coastal defense artillery fortress that still have certain combat capabilities are their last means of defense. Once they cannot stop it, Mink Island will be completely destroyed.

Although there are still a large number of ground troops on the island, even if the surface fleet is completely annihilated, they can still persist with the ground positions they have prepared and the combat effectiveness of the ground troops.

The huge fleet is working on an expedition. The combat ships are not a big problem, but what about the auxiliary warships such as transport ships?

If you want to carry out landing operations, it is impossible to rely solely on the surface fleet. You must have a strong ground armed force.

It is true that transport ships can transport a large number of ground armed personnel and land warfare weapons and equipment, but such a long voyage is depleted of people and horses. The key is that with limited transportation capacity, the number of people and equipment that can be loaded is also limited.

Therefore, for many aboriginal forces, even if the surface fleet is completely wiped out, they can still persist for a long time with ground troops alone. After all, the system has requirements to control the area of ​​an island.

At the same time, many congressmen have already asked their cronies and subordinates to prepare ships. Once the war goes unfavorably, they will secretly evacuate Mink Island on the prepared ships.

According to the system's conditions for island occupation, in addition to the requirement to control the area of ​​the island, the situation of the MPs also falls within the conditions.

Even if they are very confident in the defensive capabilities of the ground forces, these congressmen do not dare to put all their bets on the ground forces. As long as they can successfully escape from Mink Island, the Blue Star player fleet will never be able to truly occupy Mink Island. Island, at least it will not be recognized by the system.

A close-range artillery battle broke out instantly on the sea. After arriving in the offshore waters of Mink Island, the attack formation, which had been running for more than 6 hours, under Langsdorff's order, had no intention of resting and immediately took charge. The blocking Mink Island fleet launched a close-range bombardment

"boom"、"boom"、""Boom!"

Artillery shells of different calibers crisscrossed through the air, roared and fell into each other's fleets. After colliding with the sea or the hull, a violent explosion occurred.

This close-range artillery battle, in particular, The total number of warships on both sides of the war was only about 1,000, but the battle was quite fierce, even more brutal than the previous rounds of aerial bombings. With the violent explosions, a large number of armor fragments and human tissue structures were blown away. Everywhere, huge fireballs soared into the sky above the hulls of each battleship.

The flames caused by the explosion of the shells ignited the flammable items on the hulls of the battleships, causing fires. Under the cover of night Below, it is particularly conspicuous.

The flame flash of the muzzle flashes from time to time in the night, and the tail flame of the cannonball when flying looks quite beautiful.

But this beauty is"poisonous", and every shot falls on the battleship After the shells on the ship's hull explode violently, not only the armor value of the battleship's hull can be taken away, but the lives of the surrounding sailors are also devoured by the explosion.

This kind of close-range artillery battle is the most brutal in naval battles. , is also the most exciting thing that can make people's adrenaline soar and their blood boil. No wonder that in the original world, among the navies of various countries, there were always a group of loyal fans of giant ships and cannons.

Even the emergence of aircraft carriers has replaced battleships in naval battles. After becoming the protagonists in the game, these people still did not give up. They were always keen to carry out this kind of close-quarter fleet artillery battle at sea.

In the world of navigation, aircraft carriers are restricted by the special rules of engagement of the system. One company cannot really become the dominant force and completely replace the battleship as the protagonist of naval battles. Battleships and even battlecruisers are still the protagonists of naval battles.

This kind of (dacf) close-range fleet artillery battles also often occur, even quite frequently. It's just that the coordinated operations with the aircraft carrier have become more tacit.

From the beginning of the close-range artillery battle between the fleets of both sides, the Mink Island side fell below. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Night battle , the field of view was poor, the lookout on the mast observation deck had his eyes wide open, and could not accurately observe the impact point of the artillery shells, nor could he provide the best adjustment plan to the artillery crew members.

Almost all the artillery crew members' attacks It was just relying on instinct and experience. The shells fired were not very accurate. Most of them fell on the sea. There were very few that could hit the opponent's warship. In the attack formation, although there were also a large number of accurate shells, There are not enough Blue Star player battleships, but there are also some battleships belonging to the First Fleet.

Not only are these battleships of the First Fleet the most advanced battleships with excellent performance, the key is that they are equipped with fire control radars. This auxiliary equipment can be used at night The role in naval battles is really great, and the help to the artillery crew members is even greater than in daytime battles.

With the assistance of fire control radar, the artillery accuracy of these warships in the First Fleet is much better than that of the warships of both players. Many, plus the warships in the first fleet are all new warships, and the power of the naval guns is also much higher.

The most important thing is that the fleet directly under Mink Island and the alien player fleet are already bombarding up to 7 rounds of air Among them, it was hit by multiple aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes, and the hull was seriously damaged.

Some warships even suffered damage to their power systems or suffered heavy blows to their firepower systems. Even one or two of their main guns were blown up. No matter whether it was firepower or defense, they were not at their peak state.

The total number of battleships and battlecruisers in the attack formation reached more than 50, and the large main battleships on Mink Island suffered heavy losses under seven rounds of large-scale aerial bombardment.

This kind of large main battleship is the key target of the attack fleet pilots. A large number of aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes are thrown on their heads. Many battleships have been sunk. Even if there are still survivors, they are still dying. , not much fighting power left.

The strength of the two sides was unbalanced from the beginning. As the battle progressed, the warships belonging to the Mink Island side could not withstand the heavy blows. The armor value of the hulls was emptied and sank to the bottom of the sea.

As time goes by, the number of sunk Mink Island warships has increased, which has also made the Mink Island fleet's counterattack force weaker and weaker, and more and more warships in the attack formation can Free your hands and join in the attack on other battleships.

When Langsdorff was commanding this close-range fleet artillery battle, he gave full play to the excellent performance of the First Fleet's new battleships. The Yamato-class battleships and North Carolina-class battleships with thick armor and powerful firepower were at the forefront. , took on the most important task.

The 400mm upper-caliber shells roared across the night sky and landed among the battleships of the Mink Island fleet. They exploded into huge fireballs and countless seawater and armor fragments were thrown into the air.

Being directly hit by such a powerful shell, the already dilapidated battleship on Mink Island could not withstand such a terrifying firepower attack. Not to mention the damage was even more serious. It could not last long before it was completely sunk.

The attack formation arrived at Mink Island and began its attack around 3 a.m.. When the sun rose and dispelled the darkness, and the warm sunshine shone on the sea, the number of remaining warships in the sea was already exhausted. There are 800 ships[]

Among them, there are nearly 700 warships under the First Fleet and Said Player Fleet, which means that the number of warships belonging to Mink Island is only about 100.

If it were not for the night fleet artillery battle, the surviving coastal defense artillery fortress on Mink Island provided fire support to the surface fleet, which restrained the firepower and energy of part of the attack formation. It is estimated that under the fierce attack of the attack formation, Mink It is impossible for even these 100 warships to be left behind on the island.

The coastal defense artillery fortress indeed played a great role in this close fleet artillery battle, but it also suffered great damage..
