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

Even in Ye Bai's heart, the only ones he really valued and wanted to annihilate were Nagumo Chuichi's first fleet, the main fleet commanded by Yamamoto Isoroku, and the alien player fleet.

Ye Bai didn't even pay much attention to the northern formation. If he hadn't learned from other players that the northern formation would rush to the main battlefield to support him, Ye Bai wouldn't even consider this fleet..

After listening to Ye Bai's thoughts, a calm smile appeared on Nimitz's face again, and then he said:"Sir, no matter how good the plan is, it needs to be adjusted accordingly according to the actual situation. We can focus on the main force. The fleet and the northern formation, but what we should do now is get closer to the battlefield"

"According to the intelligence provided by your Excellency, the Pacific Fleet is ambushing northeast of Midway Island to ambush the First Fleet that comes to attack Midway Island. We should rush to this sea area now."

Nimitz pointed to the navigational sketch drawn by Qi Sicheng himself on the chart table and continued:"This is the main battlefield of the entire battle. If the Japanese reinforcement fleet is to come to support, it will definitely appear in the Pacific Ocean. Near the fleet, after all, they use the battle fleet as the core strike force"

"No matter where the other squadrons of the Japanese-Benzene joint fleet are now, as long as we stay in this sea area, the Japanese-Benzene people will come sooner or later if they want to win this battle."

Listening to Nimitz's explanation, Ye Bai nodded clearly. He really understood. Instead of searching for these squadrons of the kid 01 everywhere in the vast sea, not to mention wasting time and effort, but also It is possible that you missed the squadron coming from other directions.

It is better to rush to the location of the Pacific Fleet and wait there, waiting for the little devil's squadron to arrive.

Players who have participated in this dungeon space before have said, Although they did not know from which direction the main fleet and the northern formation of the Little Japanese came from and suddenly entered the battlefield.

However, both squadrons had the same attack target, which was the Pacific Fleet, while releasing aircraft carrier-based aircraft. To contain the carrier-based aircraft power of the Pacific Fleet, the huge fleet with the battleship formation as the main force quickly approached and used powerful naval gunfire to attack the Pacific Fleet at close range. The little devil adopted this style of play, and the combat plan proposed by Nimitz was just right.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we release carrier-based aircraft to survey the surrounding sea areas and find out the Japanese-Benzene joint fleet and the alien player fleets?"

In the war situation center, Ye Bai had just decided to adopt Nimitz's plan, and Wu Yichun's inquiry came from the public channel. Ye

Bai signaled to Nimitz, asking him to command the fleet to start taking action, and picked up the intercom , said loudly:"Everyone, listen up, start the battleship now, we should change places, you follow my fleet."

After thinking for a while, Ye Bai added again:"Don't worry too much, it will get dark soon. We won't be able to fight tonight. When we get to the place, everyone should rest early and get up early tomorrow."

"Yes, boss"

"Got it, boss"

"Listen to the boss. Whatever you say, boss, brothers will do it."

"Don't worry, boss. The worst I can do is stay up all night tonight and I won't sleep. I won't make any mistakes."

……

No matter what the players' thoughts are, it has become a foregone conclusion now, and Ye Bai has also made a decision. Of course, they will not stupidly refute or even contradict Ye Bai in person. They all expressed their opinions in the public channel. own determination.

Ye Bai put down the phone in his hand and ignored these players. Anyway, after successfully completing this dungeon mission and clearing the mission dungeon, these players will understand that there are many benefits to following him.

With the rewards for completing the level, these players will definitely trust themselves more and will carry out their orders more seriously in the future.

And by promoting these players in the world of navigation, they can also enhance their prestige in the minds of other players, attract more players to join their camp, and unite closely around them.

Under such a virtuous cycle, the player power under his command will continue to grow and develop.

All players enter the dungeon space, and the locations they appear are random. Without the navigation map of the dungeon space in hand, they can only make a rough judgment based on the surrounding situation, the sun in the sky, and other information.

But such a rough judgment is enough. Qi Sicheng, the navigation consultant, personally planned the route. The main fleet of the Chinese fleet plus the player fleet behind him, nearly 300 warships sailed at high speed on the sea.

Battleships of various sizes were chopping through the sea at a speed of 25 knots, heading towards their destination. The shipboard radars on each battleship were constantly detecting the surrounding situation.

Especially at the center of the battle on the Yanhuang, the radar soldiers were highly concentrated. Even if they only detected the existence of an island or reef, they would report it immediately. Qi Sicheng immediately marked it on the sketch as a key to the fleet's navigation. Reference point.

Before it got completely dark, the Yanhuang released more than 20 F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets as reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding sea areas.

Originally, the most suitable ones for low-altitude reconnaissance would be the seaplanes equipped on cruisers. Carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft are more suitable for conducting enemy reconnaissance at high altitudes and discovering the surface fleet in the sea below.

But now that the sun is almost setting, these seaplanes do not have airborne radars. When it gets dark, the returning seaplanes will not be able to land accurately on the sea. Night operation is too difficult.

And now the entire fleet is still moving at high speed. If we really want to send out seaplanes for reconnaissance, without any guidance, these seaplanes may even get lost.

Therefore, it is more appropriate for the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter equipped with airborne radar to perform this mission. Anyway, their mission is not to find the Japanese fleet, but to identify some islands on the sea to serve as reference points for the fleet. That’s all.

Qi Sicheng, who had been promoted to military rank, was still online. Under the reconnaissance guidance of the dispatched F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets, the fleet's route was also adjusted and arrived at the predetermined location.

One by one, the warships reduced their speed and slowly anchored on the sea. Nimitz personally took command, arranged a night formation, and also sent several patrol fleets to surround the main fleet, acting as warning sentries.

When the last F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter landed safely on the flight deck of the Yanhuang, all warships in the entire fleet entered a blackout state. All external lights were extinguished, and only some cabins were still brightly lit..

Except for those on night duty, the officers and soldiers on all battleships, including the player's battleship, have already rested. In a few hours, the war will break out, and it will not last long. If you don't take a good rest, , but there is not enough energy to face the battle behind.

The location where the fleet was parked was specially selected by Nimitz. It was less than 100 kilometers away from the 16th Task Force led by Spruance. This distance exceeded the effective detection range of the level 8 radar equipped on the Yanhuang..

However, several destroyers sent by Nimitz moved closer to the position of Task Force 16 to ensure that the fleet was within the detection range of their radar.

As soon as daybreak comes, whenever Task Force 16 moves, these destroyers can immediately report to the war situation center.

Ye Bai remembered clearly that after the first wave of attack aircraft launched by the Nagumo Fleet was intercepted by land-based fighter jets from Midway Island, water reconnaissance aircraft took off from Midway Island and launched a low-altitude search.

And successfully discovered the location of the Nanyun Fleet, providing vital intelligence for subsequent bombing operations.

The 16th Task Force was almost 300 kilometers away from 937 and the Nagumo Fleet. It needed to speed up its sailing and shorten the attack distance before releasing the carrier-based aircraft group to attack the Nagumo Fleet.

It was obviously Spruance who decided to bomb the Nagumo Fleet first, but because of the distance from Kyoto, the first ones to bomb the Nagumo Fleet were the bombers taking off from Midway Island.

As a result, because there were no fighter escorts, they were quickly repelled by the Zero carrier-based fighter jets sent by Nagumo Chuichi.

Ye Bai couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the Zero. No matter how weak the Zero's armor was, and was even nicknamed the"lighter in the air" by US military pilots, as a light fighter, the Zero could really be said to be its debut. That is the peak.

The outbreak of the Pacific WarIn the early days of the war, the Zero could really be said to be invincible in the world. None of the various carrier-based fighter jets equipped by the U.S. Navy were any match for the Zero. The losses were heavy.

At one point, some US military pilots even refused to fight when they heard that they were facing Zero fighter jets. You can imagine the shadow area in their hearts.

It was not until the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter jets entered service that they were able to curb the ravages of the Zero fighters. Although the performance of the Little Wildcats was not perfect, with its thick armor, it was still barely able to fight with the Zero fighters.

After the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter, an upgraded version of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter, entered service, the U.S. military pilots were finally able to fight against the Zero and turned the situation around in air combat.

Coincidentally, the main carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese fleet is now the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter. From this point of view, it seems that there is no need to worry too much about the Little Devil's Zero fighter, and it even has an advantage.

After all, the Hellcat was originally developed specifically for the Zero, and its performance in all aspects surpassed the Zero fighter.

Ye Bai even remembered a statistic: the F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets shot down the Zero fighter jets at a ratio of 13:1, so they were also called the Zero fighter jets..
