Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

With the ticking sound of large drops of raindrops falling on the surface of the battleship, several officers gathered around the chart table, one by one, looking at the reconnaissance photos taken by the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft.

“Commander, from the analysis of these photos, the strength of the fleets of the two sides is similar, and it is quite powerful, destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers are all available.”

Ye Bai was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly asked: “Lü Teyans, are you sure that you are not mistaken, there are heavy cruisers?” ”

I can’t help but be surprised that Ye Bai is not surprised, light cruisers and destroyers are easy to say, after all, players can now pull out such a fleet, but heavy cruisers are different, in addition to the aboriginal forces, there may be thieves who can come up with this level of warships.

Lü Teyansi did not answer directly, but picked up a reconnaissance photo, handed it to Ye Bai’s hand, and said softly: “Commander, please look at this photo, judging from the length of the hull, it has exceeded the standard of light cruisers. ”

Ye Bai took the photo and looked at it for a long time and couldn’t see a reason, his own sense of space was very poor, and he had no concept of things like length and area, let alone estimate the length of the battleship from a photo.

The only thing he could see was the flag hanging on the mast of the battleship that Rutte “070” Yans thought was a heavy cruiser, which he had never seen before, the flag of a certain country in the Blue Star World, nor the flag of those alien players that he had seen in the original event space.

In addition to this photo, several other photos of the same suspected heavy cruiser were selected by Lütyans, some of which did not capture the flag hanging from the mast of the battleship.

But as long as it was photographed, Ye Bai saw a total of two flags, one was the black skull flag representing the pirate forces, and the other was exactly the same as the unknown flag in the photo in his hand.

Gently putting down the photo in his hand, Ye Bai said with some hesitation: “Judging from the flag hanging on the battleship in the photo, the two warring parties should be pirate forces and some aboriginal forces?” ”

Lütyans and Ramsey looked at each other, and then nodded heavily, a conclusion that was also in line with their analysis and guesses.

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, and immediately asked: “Check the navigation map, which island is the closest to the warring sea?” ”

There is nothing strange about the appearance of the pirate fleet, these guys are just like the players, the entire navigation world, there are their figures everywhere, and it is not the slightest strange to find them in any sea.

It’s just that the strength of the fleet dispatched this time is a little too strong, the total number of warships on both sides is nearly 60, not to mention, heavy cruisers have also appeared in the fleet, which is a behemoth with a main gun caliber of more than 200mm.

The firepower is stronger, the displacement is larger, the armor is thicker, maybe the speed is a little slower, but the flaws are not hidden, in the frontal hard steel sea artillery battle, can exert quite powerful combat power.

Ye Bai was already ready to order a change of course, a fleet of this size, and in stormy weather, the carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang were nothing more than takeoff and landing operations, and the number of light cruisers and destroyers under his command was less than 10, but they did not have the strength to mix with this level of battle.

What he wanted to find out most now was which island’s aboriginal power fleet belonged to the pirate fleet that broke out the war, and why the two sides broke out such a fierce war.

The incomplete navigation map in the chart table was personally sorted out by Qi Sicheng’s entire navigation staff, and he was also the most familiar with the map, and almost immediately pointed to a point on the map and said: “Commander, this island is only about 120 kilometers away from the warring sea, and it is the only island in the nearby sea.” ”

When Ye Bai, Lü Teyan, and Ram Qi heard this, they quickly looked in the direction of Qi Sicheng’s finger, and sure enough, they saw a sign representing the island, but the incomplete navigation map did lack a lot of things.

On the navigation map, only the words “Sia Island” are written next to this island, and there is no other information, even the size of the island is not indicated, which makes people quite helpless.

However, the appearance of this island made several people almost understand the belonging of the other force that was fighting fiercely with the pirate fleet, most of which was from the escort fleet of Sia Island.

However, now these indigenous forces are still within the limits of the system, and they can easily not dispatch the main fleet, especially since this distance is far beyond the effective control of Sia Island.

But now that the fleet of this Sia Island has appeared, and there has been a fierce battle with the pirate fleet, it can only mean that there must be a resource point not far from the warring sea.

According to the intelligence collected now, the fleets of the indigenous forces will only leave the island and take the initiative when they occupy the resource points, apparently their luck is not very good, and they actually bumped into a pirate fleet that is not weak.

It is also possible that after the fleet of Sia Island successfully occupied the resource point, it was attacked by the pirate fleet before it had time to return.

“Lütyans, you are an expert, can you judge when this storm will end?”

Thinking that there are resource points nearby, Ye Bai is not willing to leave in ashes, he plans to stay and take a look, as long as the storm stops, a large number of carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang can take off smoothly, even in the face of heavy cruisers, there is also the power of a war.

Speaking of which, as early as the end of the newbie trial, the system mentioned that the world of great navigation will open the weather system, in this world, at any time, there may be storms and other bad weather conditions.

Ye Bai had encountered a storm once, but at that time, he happened to have a single copy order in his hand, and he escaped the storm by entering the copy space, and did not receive the baptism of the storm.

In the next nearly a month, it has been calm and clear, not to mention the storm, even the light rain has not encountered, which makes Ye Bai almost forget that there are bad weather conditions in the world of exploration.

This time, the sudden storm made him almost not react, without the slightest preparation, the key was to disrupt his previous plan, and also affected his next move. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Lu Teyansi couldn’t help but shake his head when he heard this, and said a little helplessly: “Commander, although I don’t know much about meteorology, according to my experience, the weather of this world cannot be explained by science at all, and various situations may occur at any time without the slightest warning.” ”

“Don’t say a layman like me, I’m afraid even real experts and scholars can’t make accurate estimates and judgments, we can only wait silently now, waiting for the end of this storm…”

Yes, Lütyans’s words made Ye Bai instantly dispel the idea of wanting to recruit professional meteorological experts from the system, and there is no point in recruiting them, according to Lütyans, the weather in the great maritime world does not have any laws at all, it all depends on the mood of the system, where can it be predicted.

“Let the warships do a good job of precautions, do not have any accidents, pay attention to various equipment, and report immediately if there is a loss.”

“Yes, Commander.”

The fleets of the two warring sides were too strong, and the carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang could not take off and land, and now they could only barely swim in the storm, but they did not choose to leave and continued to circle around.

In my heart, I can only hope that this storm will end as soon as possible, and the naval battle ahead will not end so quickly, leaving myself a chance.

However, this time, Ye Bai completely miscalculated, this storm lasted for nearly 5 hours, and only stopped completely when it was dark, and at this time Ye Bai had no hope at all.

After swaying in the storm for half a day, Ye Bai’s whole person was drowsy, and he even vomited once, although the other fleet officers and men were veterans of the water, but their mental state was not very good.

Taking advantage of the calm of the night, the entire fleet temporarily fell into a state of rest, overhauling the equipment in each cabin, hurrying to sleep, and recovering physical strength and energy.

Lütyans offered to send the Changning to the warring waters for reconnaissance, anyway, this Fletcher-class destroyer is fast enough, full of 36 knots, even if something is wrong, it can easily get out.

But this suggestion was rejected by Ye Bai, the black light blind can detect what situation, if it is not good, there will be a situation of getting lost, besides, if there is any special situation, the entire fleet can only be in a hurry, and even the support force cannot be sent.

The Changning is the only Fletcher-class destroyer under its control, and 0.3 is the only destroyer equipped with sonar systems and depth charges, and it is the only anti-submarine force, which cannot be sent out as cannon fodder at will.

What’s more, almost 6 hours have passed since the discovery of the naval battle ahead, and I don’t know how long the two sides fought before, such a long time, the fierce battle between the two sides may have long been over, even if the Changning is sent, most of them can only scout a lonely, but also risk night sailing, it is not worth risking for this.

Anyway, now that the wind and rain have stopped, as long as the sky breaks, the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft on the Yanhuang can be dispatched again, and they can detect the specific situation of the belligerent sea area directly from the air.

At that time, according to the reconnaissance results of the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, and then decide how to do it next, Ye Bai even has psychological preparations, even if the battle is over, he will choose to take a look.

There is a great possibility that there is a resource point near the sea over there, if he does not go over to see him, he will not be willing, although he guesses that these resource points refreshed by the system cannot be included in the small space of the logistics cabin, but he is not dead, without personally verifying it, he will not completely give up this idea.
