Chapter 212: The Lost Transport
Johnston's arrival was undoubtedly a very pleasant surprise for Mo Yan, not only because he liked Johnston very much, but also because Johnston's appearance made up for some of the shortcomings of his fleet.
Although Mo Yan's fleet is very strong, whether it is a battleship or an aircraft carrier, it is indeed impossible to say that its offensive capability is not to be said, but it is quite weak in terms of anti-submarine escort.
Up to now, there are only three ships in the Moyan fleet that can be anti-submarine, namely Princeton, Yat-sen and Oakland.
Among them, Princeton is relatively good in air supremacy, so she basically rarely conducts anti-submarine operations, and generally carries fighter jets to seize air supremacy for the fleet.
Yat-sen sails too slowly, and it can't exert much power under the incomplete role of the fishery administration boat, so it can usually only be used as a left-behind defender. Oakland is capable of air defense and anti-submarine work, but it is a pity that it is weak and difficult to support alone, and it is difficult to support both air defense and anti-submarine tasks on its own.
But now that Johnston is here, Auckland's current predicament can be greatly alleviated. Although Johnston is only an expulsion, she is the one that Mo Yan prefers to expel from, not only was she promoted to the full level early, but she has also participated in many major battles, sinking more than ten high-level deep-sea flagships.
Although these were only her experiences in Minato when she was still a gamer, these experiences became real after Minato began to merge with the world.
The ship's mother with legendary experience will naturally have the strength to create legends.
As a result, Johnston became one of the few destroyers in the harbor area with a wide field of force.
In this world, having a wide-area force field and not having a wide-area force field are completely two different concepts, and the difference between the two is like mud.
Mo Yan's fleet has been so smooth sailing all the way, mainly because he and his fleet have been hovering between the middle sea and the offshore area, and have not encountered too much pressure.
Although deep-sea flagships have also encountered a few times, those flagships have not actually played to their greatest strengths. The deep-sea flagship, which is in the first line of defense and has its own exclusive fleet, is not only powerful in itself, but also very powerful in its exclusive fleet, which can not only skillfully cooperate with its deep-sea flagship to fight, but also provide the force field energy blessing of the wide-area force field for the flagship itself.
The main force, assault, hybrid, submarine, aviation, these deep-sea formations exclusive to deep-sea flagships are very comprehensive, there are no shortcomings in terms of ship types, and the use of tactics is also very flexible, not rigid at all.
After encountering these deep-sea flagship fleets led by front-line flagships, if Mo Yan's ship wives still want to overwhelm people like before, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Therefore, after getting a lot of information about the front line provided by the military, Mo Yan also began to take precautions, wanting to expand his fleet as soon as possible and make up for some shortcomings in the fleet.
On the second day of Johnston's construction, Mo Yan organized all his shipwives and the naval commanders of the town guard mansion to conduct a joint exercise, which exercised the cooperation and tacit understanding between his shipwives and gave them a certain understanding of each other's strength.
At the same time, this large-scale joint exercise also cleaned up all the sea areas belonging to the Da Grista Town Guard, and cleaned up a large number of low-level deep-sea ships, so that the safety factor of the sea area to which the Town Guard Mansion belonged suddenly increased a lot, and those deep-sea ships that were cleaned up will take at least three months to start to gradually re-emerge.
The day after the joint exercise, Mo Yan was discussing with Lexington in the Admiral's office in the administrative center of the Town Guard Mansion about the follow-up matters related to the operation and management of the Town Guard Mansion and the formation of the fleet, but the door of the office suddenly "slammed!" Suddenly someone pushed it away from the outside, and the Zhongxing, which was out of breath and out of breath, rushed in from the outside.
"Timo, Admiral!" After standing at the door of the office and gasping for breath, the Zhongxing came to Mo Yan at a trot, "When I was conducting a maritime reconnaissance just now, I saw the deep-sea transport ship you mentioned, Admiral!" ”
"What! Supply ships? After listening to the report of the Zhongxing, Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very strange expression, and asked the Zhongxing: "The kind of supply ship with a big whale?" ”
"Uh-huh! It's the kind of supply ship you mentioned in "Breaking the Deep Blue". The Zhongxing nodded its head quickly, and then added, "In the story, I was bullied by me and the Kunming and robbed Pang Ci, but I went back to the deep sea and brought the supply ship of the deep-sea flagship Barbarossa to find the field." ”
"Stop!" Mo Yan saw that the Zhongxing seemed to want to continue to tell the supply sauce in the story, so he immediately reached out to stop her follow-up topic, "Let's talk about the supply ship you detected first, where did you see this supply sauce, is it only the supply ship itself or there is a convoy accompanying it." If there is a frivola, what is the type and number of this frivola? ”
"The location and location of the deep-sea supply ship is in a sea area four hundred and forty-seven nautical miles to the southeast, the number is two, and there is a convoy around it, but I came to report to you as soon as I saw the supply sauce, and I haven't had time to confirm the type and number of convoys to which they belong, hehe!"
Zhongxing sneered and scratched her head, after all, this supply ship is a very important role in the story that Mo Yan gave her general, she was so excited when she saw it, she immediately wanted to share the information about the discovery of the supply sauce with Mo Yan, where to take care of the escort fleet.
"However, my Sea Meteor is circling and tailing over the supply sauce and the deep-sea fleet to which it belongs, and I can immediately lower the altitude to confirm the specific lineup and number of its escort fleet."
The Zhongxing hurriedly remedied.
"Then you can check it first." Mo Yan looked at the Zhongxing and smiled, then turned his head to look at Lexington beside him, "Madam, do you think it is necessary for us to intercept this deep-sea supply fleet?" ”
"Four hundred and forty-seven nautical miles to the southeast is not too far, and I think it can be intercepted. We can first dispatch a group of carrier-based aircraft to track, then send a high-speed fleet directly to the front of this deep-sea supply fleet to intercept it, and finally let the carrier-based aircraft take the lead, and then let the high-speed fleet finish. ”
Lexington looked up at the chart hanging on the wall on one side of his office, and said with some confusion:
"According to the information you got from Commander Alehieka, Commander, this deep-sea supply ship should be responsible for replenishing the deep-sea flagship fleet on all fronts, and generally speaking, it should be going back and forth in the depths of the ocean, why did it suddenly appear in the offshore waters this time? Could it be that there are other deep-sea flagships hidden in the coastal waters of the Southern Front? ”
"I think it's just lost......"
Mo Yan thought of the deep-sea transport supply ship with a big whale that appeared in the game, its name is called the lost transport plane, these guys get lost for fifteen days a month, and most of them don't have a good sense of direction.
