Near the coast, warships belonging to the attack formation are moored on the sea. The hulls of the warships are horizontal, the cannons are turning, and the black muzzles are pointed firmly in the direction of the island land. If necessary, these large-caliber warships will The artillery can immediately burst out with powerful firepower, providing artillery support and cover for the landing Marine officers and soldiers.
At the berth of the port, whether it is a warship that has no intention of fighting anymore and chose to surrender after seeing the war going unfavorably, or a warship that has completely lost command and control because the players themselves were killed, there are many naval officers and soldiers on the traffic boats at the moment. , boarded the battleship, took control of the battleship, and the people on the ship were also captured.
Of course, the hundreds of warships in the attack formation will not all be docked near the pier to provide artillery cover for the landing operations of the Marine Corps officers and soldiers. If they are all involved in the bombardment of Mink Island, I am afraid that the island will be blown up..
Only a part of the warships were responsible for providing artillery support to the landing Marine Corps officers and soldiers. The remaining warships in the attack formation and the escort warships that originally provided escort missions for dozens of aircraft carriers were all mobilized.
The person responsible for commanding these battleships is still Rear Admiral Langsdorf. Anyway, the task of providing artillery cover for the Marine Corps landing officers and soldiers is not too responsible. There are many officers in the fleet who can complete it.
What's more, there are a large number of carrier-based aircraft that can take off at any time to provide aerial cover and support for the troops landing operations. The requirements for artillery support from the surface fleet are not too high.
"boom"、"boom"、""Boom"
Along with the surface fleet's indiscriminate bombardment of the ground defense positions on Mink Island, player warships belonging to the 02 First Fleet and Said left the offshore and sailed to the open sea. These more than 1,000 The warships formed a tight blockade here.
Of course, what these warships wanted to block was the support force belonging to Mink Island. According to the reports of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, they were sunk or intercepted by them. The total number of enemy warships currently engaged is less than 1,000.
According to the information provided by the intelligence department, the entire Mink Island, the direct fleet plus the alien player warships, has almost more than 6,000 warships.
Over there with the Second Fleet The results of the battle were quite fruitful, having sunk more than 2,000 warships. Now they are fighting a fleet with more than 500 warships. The victory is determined and the battle will be over in a short time. The
Third Fleet There were no such big results over there. After all, they broke a huge fleet into pieces and fought with small fleets belonging to alien players. Overall, they sunk about 500 warships. In the end, the First Fleet attacked Mink Island head-on. More than 1,000 warships on the Mink Island side were either sunk or captured. The losses were quite heavy. The three ships performed different tasks. When all the battle results of the fleet were tallied up, more than 4,000 warships on the Mink Island side were sunk. In other words, they only had about 2,000 remaining warships with certain combat capabilities.
Since this expedition, the strength comparison between Mink Island and the Chinese fleet has changed. Whether it is the number of warships or performance, the Chinese fleet has the upper hand. Originally it had a large number of warships ; The Mink Island side, which has the upper hand, has suffered heavy losses and is completely at a disadvantage.
The more than 2,000 remaining warships on Mink Island are still desperately returning to support the battle on Mink Island. For these warships, Of course Nimitz would not let it go.
Langsdorff led most of the warships in the attack fleet and stood ready in the waters outside Mink Island. More than 700 XXI submarines were still lurking under the water. In addition to providing valuable services to the fleet, these submarines In addition to serving as an eye, another purpose is to block the route to prevent the warships from Mink Island from sneaking out.
Although the entire port of Mink Island has been occupied by the warships of the First Fleet, Marine Corps officers and soldiers have also landed , advancing towards the in-depth defense of Mink Island, but no one can guarantee whether members of the Mink Island Parliament will take the opportunity to sneak out.
Seeing that Mink Island is about to fall into the hands of Ye Bai, if at this time Because of being too careless, members of the Mink Island Council secretly escaped from the island, which would be called a failure.
Even if only one member of the Council escaped from Mink Island, Ye Bai's occupation of Mink Island would not be recognized by the system and could not be completely completed. By occupying Mink Island, this expedition will not achieve its goal.
Compared with the members of Parliament who must not let go of Mink Island, those warships that are rushing back to Mink Island to support the battle are not So important.
Mink Island was occupied by Ye Bai, and these more than 2,000 warships became completely rootless trees. There was not even a logistics supply base. Not to mention the repairs of the damaged warships, and even the supply of food, drinking water and ammunition. It's a huge difficulty.
Without stable logistical supplies, it would be a complete fantasy for these more than 2,000 warships to persist in this sea area for a long time.
Although those alien players can purchase food, drinking water and other materials from other alien players through the trading section provided by the system, they cannot buy ammunition. The most important thing is that their warships cannot be effectively used after being damaged. repair.
When operating in this sea area, they will not only face the pursuit and interception of the Chinese fleet, but also the NPC pirate warships randomly refreshed by the system. They are also their enemies. It can be said that they are surrounded on all sides.
Without a logistics base, damaged warships cannot be repaired. These warships will become weaker and weaker, and will eventually be completely sunk.
Ye Bai believes that those alien players will understand this truth, so it is unlikely that they will choose to stay in this sea area. Now, Langsdorff is asked to lead the fleet to set up a blockade, just as a precaution. Just one.
After all, the current Mink Island has not yet completely fallen, and the system has not recognized Ye Bai's occupation of Mink Island. In this case, those alien players who cannot save everything will choose to make a desperate move.
Even those alien players would think that in the battle with Mink Island, both sides suffered heavy losses and this was an opportunity for them.
After Nimitz dispatched the fleet led by Langsdorff, he also sent a telegram to Cunningham and Halsey, asking them to destroy the enemy warships that encountered them as soon as possible, and then attack them from two directions Rush to Mink Island and rendezvous with the main fleet. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
This approach is equivalent to the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet rushing in from two directions, forming a semicircular encirclement, and trying to rush to Mink All the direct battleships and alien player battleships supported by the island were blocked in it, and they were completely eliminated.
In fact, Nimitz's preparations were not in vain. The alien players scattered in the sea were beaten badly by the Third Fleet. Even if there were some lucky enough to escape, they were attacked by a large number of people before they even got close to Mink Island. The submarine attack eventually wiped out the entire army.
After suffering a heavy loss, these alien players were not so enthusiastic about the plan to support Mink Island. Not only did they not dare to continue fighting against the Third Fleet, they even ran away continuously to avoid the warships of the Third Fleet.
It can be said that after the third fleet was broken into pieces and intercepted by the submarine force, the scattered alien players in this sea area have almost given up on Mink Island. At least they dare not continue to follow the order. Support for Mink Island.
Only the Combined Fleet, which was at war with the Second Fleet, was in a better situation. After leaving more than 500 player warships to hold back the Second Fleet, the remaining 1,000 or so warships of the Combined Fleet did not dare to stay for a moment and sailed at high speed on the sea. , maintaining the highest speed, rushing to Mink Island day and night.
Although large-scale formation sailing cannot maintain daytime speed at night, the United 680 fleet is getting closer and closer to Mink Island during day and night operations. On the second day after the Chinese fleet launched the landing operation, Arriving in the sea more than 50 kilometers away from Mink Island.
At this position, the combined fleet ran into the fleet led by Langsdorff, who had been waiting for a long time, and a fierce battle broke out on the sea.
In this battle, the combined fleet can be said to have been completely desperate. Mink Island is just ahead. Telegrams are constantly being sent to them. The situation on Mink Island is already quite bad.
In just one day, the Chinese Marine Corps officers and soldiers who landed on Mink Island have defeated many ground troops on Mink Island, broke through several defenses, and occupied half of Mink Island. Although the ground troops on Mink Island tried their best to block it, But there is nothing you can do.
There is not much difference in the weapons and equipment of the ground forces of both sides. Even at the beginning of the war, the Marine Corps of the Chinese Fleet still lacked large-caliber heavy artillery. After all, heavy artillery, although it has fierce firepower, is too powerful. It was heavy and could not be easily transported to the island when it first landed.
Although they lack large-caliber heavy artillery, in terms of firepower, the Marine Corps officers and soldiers who landed are definitely not bad. If they encounter trouble, they can immediately request support through the radio. Surface warships on the port dock and carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky can all Provide powerful fire support to landing troops.
Even compared to the large-caliber heavy artillery used in land warfare, the large-caliber naval guns equipped on surface battleships are more powerful. With the guidance of carrier-based aircraft in the air, the bombing effect is also quite good.
Often, a few large-caliber artillery shells can completely destroy the defense force of the ground troops on Mink Island. The position will be blown to pieces and the personnel will suffer heavy losses.
As the attack deepens, the naval guns may not be able to keep up with the pace of the attack and cannot continue to provide artillery support. However, the large number of carrier-based aircraft in the sky are not affected in any way and can continue to provide air cover and support to the landing troops..
