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

As long as the commanders on the island of No. 308 are in their right minds, even if they rely on a large number of carrier-based aircraft and coastal defense artillery fortresses to build a defense system, even if they have the black-tech Yanhuang and attack the island head-on, the fleet will definitely not suffer losses. Xiao, Nimitz would not do such a stupid thing.

He planned to park the main force of the Chinese fleet directly in the sea more than 200 kilometers away from Island No. 308, attracting the other party to initiate an attack.

Without knowing the true strength of the Chinese fleet, the opponent's commander is very likely to send a large number of carrier-based aircraft to bombard the Chinese fleet indiscriminately, so that a fierce air battle can directly break out in the outer sea area.

With the Yanhuang's huge air capacity and the excellent performance of the carrier-based aircraft, it is very certain to win the air battle. If we can severely damage the opponent's air power in the air battle, the subsequent attack on the No. 308 island can be reduced ~ a lot loss.

After all, the biggest threat to the surface fleet is the air power and coastal defense artillery fortress of Island No. 308. Therefore, in this battle, mastering air superiority will be the top priority.

In fact, Nimitz's plan did not go wrong. When the senior officials on Island No. 308 received the message sent back by the reconnaissance pilot before his death, they immediately understood that the enemy they and others had been waiting for had finally arrived. A war was about to break out, and a group of senior officials were quickly summoned to hold an emergency meeting.

Like Yuntong Island, Island No. 308 also implements a parliamentary system. All important political and strategic decisions require convening a meeting of a member of the House of Representatives for deliberation before a final decision can be made. Even the speaker does not have the power to act arbitrarily.

Putting aside the pros and cons of such a system, at least it often wastes too much time in emergencies, and if not done properly, there will be quite serious consequences.

But this time the situation is different. The Chinese fleet is still more than 200 kilometers away, and there is no intention to launch an attack yet. There is still enough time for these congressmen to argue.

This debate lasted for more than 2 hours. Some members proposed taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese fleet had just arrived and its footing was not yet stable, and directly dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to carry out aerial bombardment in an effort to severely damage the opponent, and then gather the remaining main forces. The fleet is cleaning up the mess, and may even be able to capture some much-needed capital ships to make up for the losses of the main fleet.

However, some members believe that stability should be the priority. After all, the opponent's fleet has nearly 1,000 ships, and there are a large number of underwater submarines outside. If you want to severely damage the opponent's fleet, nearly all the carrier-based aircraft will need to take turns. Just go out.

And even if they pay a huge price of casualties and severely damage the opponent's surface fleet, there are still a large number of submarines underwater, and their main fleet does not dare to attack rashly.

Therefore, we advocate defense, waiting for the opponent's fleet to take the initiative to attack the island, and then rely on the powerful firepower of the coastal defense artillery fortress to severely damage the opponent with the triple defense system of air, ground and sea.

The two different combat plans were supported by many members of Congress, each with their own reasons, and no one could convince the other. The entire combat meeting was full of quarrels, and some irritable members even almost broke out into full force.

As the nominal supreme leader of the parliament, the speaker of the small island parliament No. 308 felt a huge headache, but there was nothing he could do about it. It had been like this for so many years anyway. How could he not make the final decision without arguing for several hours?.

However, the speaker was quite decisive. When convening the meeting, he had already issued an order in advance and once again dispatched a group of carrier-based aircraft to conduct reconnaissance of the Chinese fleet. He wanted to see what the other party's plans were and whether he was ready to launch an attack. attack.

The newly dispatched reconnaissance aircraft from the island No. 308 still failed to escape the detection of the carrier-based radar equipped on the Yanhuang. It was caught in the air by the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets that took off from several Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers. They were shot down one after another without much resistance at all.

It's just that although these reconnaissance planes were shot down, the relevant information about the Chinese fleet was sent back by the pilots under Nimitz's deliberate indulgence, which also allowed the Speaker to know what was going on.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. The second batch of reconnaissance planes sent out was shot down by the opponent's carrier-based aircraft again. However, the pilots sent back a telegram. The opponent's fleet still stayed in the offshore area and had no intention of advancing further."

The members below were still arguing. The speaker, who had a headache, couldn't bear it any longer. He shouted loudly, suppressing all other voices in the conference room.

The members of both sides who had been arguing also stopped in surprise. After all, he is the nominal boss of the parliament. Even if he does not control the entire parliament, he still has more power than every member of them. No one will be stupid enough to contradict the speaker. Therefore, the speaker has not passed the resolution of the parliament without authorization. A second batch of reconnaissance planes were sent to conduct reconnaissance of the Chinese fleet. Everyone subconsciously ignored it and pretended not to hear it at all, let alone express any different opinions. What's more, no matter how they usually fight for power in private, in the face of foreign enemies At that time, they were just grasshoppers on a rope, both prospering and losing. They had just argued with each other. In the final analysis, they were all for the sake of the safety of the island, not out of any selfish motives.

"Mr. Speaker, the other side’s fleet has stopped moving forward. What does this mean?"

Seeing that the members of both parties were no longer noisy, the crossbench member who had not joined the quarrel just now hurriedly asked. To be honest, it was not just the speaker who couldn't stand it. Even they felt dizzy. Now that they have a chance, that's not the case. Change the topic immediately, otherwise those guys will continue to quarrel.

A trace of doubt flashed in the speaker's eyes. As a former player, he has been in charge of Island 308 for many years. He has experienced countless battles, regardless of what he was like at the beginning. level, but now, Shuping has reached a certain level.

"It's unclear. It may be that the fleet officers and soldiers are tired after the other party's long journey and need to take a rest, or it may be that the other party has other ideas."

When the island No. 308 was blocked by a large number of submarines, the Speaker had a guess about the identity of the enemy. It must be a certain island force, but he didn't know where it came from, because of the nearby waters. They all knew about the island forces, and none of them matched up.

But to say that it was a certain player force was simply impossible. Of course, the Speaker, who was also a player, knew very well that in just over half a year, the players No matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to develop so fast, not only to build a huge fleet, but also to have submarines.

You know, leaving aside the main battleships, even if they are starting over from the islands So far, few forces have been able to develop submarines, let alone players who don’t even have an island or base. It is even less likely that they have such a technological level. Therefore, the attack on them this time must be an unknown island force.

"The opponent must know our defensive strength, and they will definitely not be stupid enough to attack head-on without absolute certainty. Could it be that they have some other idea?"

A crossbench member frowned and said, it's not just the speaker who thinks that the Chinese fleet is an island force,Even the MPs think so.

But it is precisely this situation that makes them even more confused. As an island force, it is impossible not to know that the island's defense force is strong and the fleet is too weak to defeat it.

But this mysterious fleet has really done this, and the fleet has sailed to the sea 200 kilometers away. It can't be a tourist.

The speaker's brows were furrowed tightly, and his brain was working rapidly. He wanted to figure out what the other party was planning. Since it was not a frontal attack, he must use other methods.[] what is it?

Not only the speaker, but also other members of the meeting are also thinking hard. No one will take it lightly at this time. If they don't understand the next move of the Chinese fleet, they will not even be able to sleep peacefully.

I don’t know how long it took, but the speaker who was sitting at the top was shocked and said with bright eyes:"I understand, the other party is waiting for reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?"

A group of congressmen who were thinking hard were startled by the speaker. You looked at me and I looked at you. They were both a little confused. They didn't know why the speaker came to such a conclusion.

Without the congressmen asking, maybe Because he had figured out the purpose of the Chinese fleet's halt, the Speaker seemed much more relaxed, with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes, we have discussed before where this mysterious fleet comes from. It is most likely that it comes from an island force in the distance, or perhaps a defeated large island force that wants to occupy small islands like ours. The island is making a comeback. Glancing at the MPs below who were listening carefully and nodding in agreement, the Speaker continued loudly:"

In the previous battle on Yuntong Island, to put it bluntly, the other party was picking peaches and snatching away the fruits of victory that belonged to us, not theirs." How powerful is the strength"

"But with their current fleet of less than 1,000 warships, it would be a fool's errand to attack our island No. 308. And since the other party dares to come, they must be extremely confident, otherwise they will not attack rashly."

The congressmen below are not stupid. The speaker has already explained so much. A member who responded quickly said immediately:"So the speaker believes that they must have hidden powerful forces, and they are coming quickly."

"It seems that this is really the case. The voyage from Yuntong Island to our small island is only more than 2,000 kilometers. At the normal speed of the fleet, they should have arrived long ago. As a result, they were delayed for nearly 10 days, probably just to delay time and wait for reinforcements. s arrival"

"Yes, I agree with the Speaker’s analysis. This should be the only reasonable explanation."
