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

"Damn, what's going on? Why does the other side have so many carrier-based aircraft?"

"Yes, according to the pilots' reports, the other side dispatched at least more than 600 carrier-based aircraft, which far exceeded the limit of the number of carrier-based aircraft that five aircraft carriers can accommodate."

"Why is there a problem with the intelligence? The other party has more than 5 aircraft carriers, at least 10 or more aircraft carriers. Why is there such a big gap?"

"Whoever is responsible for the reconnaissance should be sent to a military court and shot. If the reconnaissance information was not inaccurate, we would not have suffered such a huge loss."

"Yes, those responsible for reconnaissance should be held accountable. It is because they neglected their duties that they consumed our precious air power. Without these carrier-based aircraft, how can we defend the island? They are all sinners and should bear full responsibility. responsibility"

……

I don’t know whether it was a habit formed when I was a player, or a problem developed after becoming a member of the 308th Island Council. In short, at this time, these councilors began to blame each other and shirk their responsibilities. That’s called a proficiency. ah.

The speaker standing in front of the crowd felt a headache again, and couldn't help shouting:"Don't make such a fuss, the pilots responsible for reconnaissance have already died. How can you still go to the sea to fish out their bodies and then shoot them?" Just once."

Due to the Speaker's long-standing prestige, the Speaker's anger caused all the members who had been noisy just now to shut up and did not dare to say anything more.

As soon as his ears were quiet, the Speaker felt that his swollen head had relaxed a lot. He took a long breath and said softly:"Now is not the time to hold people responsible. The top priority should be to come up with new decisions immediately. What is the reason? Continue to send more carrier-based aircraft to attack, or should 923 give up the attack and let the pilots who continue to sacrifice on the front line immediately withdraw?" As soon as the speaker finished speaking, the members of the parliament expressed their opinions one after another, and some suggested continuing to send more aircraft. Carrier-based aircraft increase their attack intensity. These people believe that even if the intelligence is wrong, the opponent's number of aircraft carriers is limited after all. So many carrier-based aircraft may have dispatched all the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

As long as we continue to increase the intensity of our attacks, the opponent will definitely not be able to send more carrier-based aircraft to intercept, and we will definitely be able to break through the opponent's air defense.

Such rhetoric was supported by some congressmen, who had previously advocated sending a fleet of carrier-based aircraft to launch an active attack on the Chinese fleet.

But similarly, those congressmen who originally opposed taking the initiative have raised objections again. They believe that the other party can dispatch more than 600 carrier-based aircraft for air combat at one go, indicating that the opponent's fleet strength far exceeds their previous estimates. It is very promising. It may be that reinforcements from the other side have arrived.

Without understanding the size of the enemy fleet, it makes no sense to continue to consume precious carrier-based aircraft resources and invest in endless battles. On the contrary, it will greatly weaken the defense power of Island No. 308.

Their strength has now been severely weakened, and they can no longer withstand the torment. Once the carrier-based aircraft losses are too serious, the air battle will fail by then, and they will have no more power to protect the island No. 308.

The final result is that the island will fall, and they, the members of the parliament, will become prisoners or even die without a burial place.

At the beginning, the objections of these congressmen did not get much support, until they mentioned that the loss of air power was too serious, and even the island (cjcf) would be lost. When they, the congressmen, ended up very miserable.

All the opposing MPs and those who had previously chosen neutrality also joined in and spoke out against the proposal to continue to increase the intensity of the attack.

In fact, the debate among the members has reached this point, and they have already come up with a plan for the next decision. Although this plan makes the speaker very disappointed, he can't say anything more. Although he, as the speaker, is the nominal member of the No. 308 Island Council. leader, but still cannot ignore the suggestions of most members of the parliament

"In the name of the parliament, issue an order to withdraw the boys. We cannot make any more sacrifices. We will still have to rely on them to protect the island."

"Yes, Speaker."

The Speaker did not pay attention to the group of MPs behind him. He knew very well that if the opponent's reinforcements had really arrived, it would not make much sense to withdraw from the battle at this time. On the contrary, it would give the enemy more time to wait. When more reinforcements arrive, it will be the end of Island No. 308.

In fact, at this time, we should continue to dispatch more carrier-based aircraft at all costs, fight to the death, and rely on the advantage of numbers to break through the opponent's air defense and bomb. The opponent's main fleet.

As long as they can succeed, they can severely damage the opponent's main fleet, give Island 308 more time to prepare for war, and allow them to produce more carrier-based aircraft. Even if the opponent's reinforcements arrive, they will still They have the strength to defend the island.

But now that they have withdrawn from the battle, the opponent's physical strength has not suffered much loss at all. They can launch an attack on Island 308 at any time. Their carrier-based aircraft units, which have already suffered heavy losses, may not be able to Withstand the opponent's strong attack.

The most important thing is that they lost a precious period of preparation time and were unable to obtain more defensive power. The next defensive battle will be difficult to fight.

In fact, the Speaker also knew in his heart that these things were not only something he could think of , many of the group of congressmen behind them can understand it, but no one says it because they are afraid of death.

For those who have failed and died once, nothing else matters, as long as they can live, Even if they live for one more day, they will be willing to do so. They have long since lost their blood and the courage to fight to the death. This is the tragedy of losers. The order of the small island council No. 308 was quickly conveyed to the fierce battle ahead via radio The pilots, which had been beaten to a point of collapse, breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer cared about formations and formations. They turned around and evacuated quickly.

Judging from the situation, it was not so much an evacuation as an evacuation. It is more accurate to escape. The idiom"wolf running like a tiger" can not only be used for army troops, but also applies to the air at this moment. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The attack aircraft group on the island No. 308 If they want to escape, Nimitz will certainly not let them go easily. He will find a way to attract them out. Naturally, he will not let them go back easily.

If he can shoot down one more enemy plane now, he will wait until he attacks the island No. 308. At that time, you can save yourself some losses. You can escape if you want, but at least you have to leave something behind.

Therefore, the pilots of the Chinese fleet stepped on the accelerator and caught up with them at a faster speed. This kind of pursuit battle is the easiest to follow and attack, making these pilots as easy as target shooting planes, not to mention how happy they are.

This pursuit led to Island No. 308. If the air defense positions on the island had not opened fire and attacked, the Chinese fleet's The pilots refused to give up, braving the anti-aircraft fire below, and circled over the island for several times before returning calmly.

Such behavior naturally made the people on Island 308 grit their teeth with anger, but there was nothing they could do about it.[]

Six ground airports are receiving carrier-based aircraft returning for landing. There is no extra runway to take off carrier-based aircraft to drive them away. Moreover, even if they take off at this time, the number of carrier-based aircraft that can take off is limited. Facing the huge black aircraft fleet, only It could be that he died in vain.

Not to mention the ground anti-aircraft firepower, which wasted a lot of artillery shells but achieved no results. The opponent's fleet of aircraft were flying at high altitudes, making many anti-aircraft weapons useless.

After the Chinese fleet's fighter jets showed off their power at the high altitude of Island No. 308 and returned one after another, this air battle with a total number of more than 2,000 aircraft was finally concluded.

Naturally, the result of the air battle was that Island No. 308 suffered a big loss. As the party that took the initiative to attack, more than 1,000 carrier-based aircraft were dispatched. As a result, less than 300 of them successfully landed at the ground airport, and more than 700 of them were lost. Carrier-based aircraft.

This result made the congressmen tremble with distress, even though the aircraft manufacturing plant on the island was operating at full capacity during this period, producing carrier-based aircraft day and night, bringing the number of carrier-based aircraft on the island to a new level. high.

However, the total number of carrier-based aircraft on the entire island is less than 3,000. This battle is equivalent to losing a quarter of the air power. This can not make them feel distressed.

Feeling distressed, some congressmen once again began to shift the blame. When they could not blame the intelligence errors, they began to blame other congressmen who had proposed sending a large fleet of aircraft to actively attack the Chinese fleet, but they completely forgot about the original proposal to take the initiative. It was recognized by almost all of them. If we really want to say responsibility, everyone has it, and it cannot be passed on to a few people.

However, although the air power loss of No. 308 Island is huge, there is one good news among the bad news, that is, among the carrier-based aircraft lost this time, in addition to the 200 or so Fulmar carrier-based fighter jets that were escorting , all other losses were to Skua carrier-based fighter-bombers and Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft.

The reserve of carrier-based fighter jets is quite sufficient, and the next battle is a defensive battle. The most urgent need is carrier-based fighter jets. In a short period of time, bombers and torpedo attack aircraft will be of no use.

Although the Skua carrier-based fighter-bomber performs the role of bomber in normal times, it can be used as a fighter when necessary, and its air defense power is relatively sufficient.

Not to mention the blame-shifting behavior of the small island council on No. 308, the Chinese fleet was cheering loudly for the victory in this air battle.

Although the specific loss data of Island No. 308 is not known, according to the results of radar detection, it is at least more than 600, and the number of carrier-based aircraft they lost was only a few dozen, plus a few were used for outer defense. The Fletcher-class destroyer was damaged by the aerial bombs and torpedoes dropped randomly by the opponent, so there was no loss, and it was considered a complete victory..
