Chapter four hundred and ninety-six southward plan started
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Amidst the long whistle, a huge battleship sailed on the vast sea, accompanied by an equally huge aircraft carrier, surrounded by two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and dozens of
There is a fleet of destroyers, and there are more than ten Wildcat fighter jets in the sky above this fleet to guard and escort. This is China's East China Sea Fleet conducting maritime training.
In the battle room of the battleship Dingyuan, two draftsmen used a sector ruler to measure the distance and orientation between coordinate a63 and the ship on the drawing. The calculation hand reported the shooting distance based on the drafter's report. Pull the cursor of the shooting ruler to read
The corresponding shooting elevation angle was obtained. At the same time, the ammunition crew in the main gun control room had prepared the appropriate amount of ammunition and installed the appropriate warhead fuze according to the previous order.
As soon as the calculator calculated the data, he quickly picked up the phone on the stage.
"No. 6 charge for the main gun of the 1, 2, 3, gun, heading 120o, elevation angle 93 degrees, ready to report"
"Number 9 secondary battery, No. 5 charge. Direction 126 degrees, elevation 30 degrees, ready to report.
As orders were issued, the gunners who had received the orders hurriedly set the direction, set the elevation angle with their upper and lower hands, and the four ammunition handlers manipulated the elevator to lift the 1,200-pound ammunition that had just been brought up from the ammunition bay.
The charges, together with more than 2,200 pounds of projectiles and primers, were placed on the platform. Finally, four loaders pushed the long struts to send them into the gun chamber, and then closed the huge gun bolt.
The gunner locked the breech, picked up the transmitter and reported loudly, "The xth gun is ready."
"put"
"Boom, boom, boom" a continuous loud noise came.
As the commander's order came, the battleship's three huge main guns roared loudly at the same time. The battleship, which was traveling at high speed, instantly moved more than ten meters to the side as if it had been punched by a giant.
The destructive power produced when the three 460 mm caliber main guns on the Dingyuan battleship are fired at the same time is astonishing. Navy regulations stipulate that no one is allowed to approach the gun positions on the deck when the main guns are firing. The Gein ship
The strong wind generated instantly when the cannon is fired is enough to blow an adult weighing 200 into the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Twenty kilometers away from the Dingyuan, three huge water columns rose into the sky.
In the command room, Shen Honglie slowly lowered the telescope he had been holding, and said expressionlessly: "It's three hundred meters away from the target." Then he turned around and cursed loudly, "Can you shoot farther?"
Everyone in the war room was silent, and no one dared to touch him. The entire war room echoed with the roar of the fleet commander.
Seeing that three consecutive shots missed, Shen Honglie's anger could no longer be suppressed, "It's three hundred meters off. The 60,000 gold yuan coupons were just wasted. How many 60,000 gold yuan coupons does our navy have for you?"
Damn it, are you committing a crime? Our training for more than half a year has trained you idiots. If you behave like this in actual combat, you can all commit suicide to thank the people of the country."
After more than half a year of training, the East China Sea Fleet has completed all basic training. Over the past month, the fleet has also been seizing time to train the accuracy of naval gun shooting, but it is always unsatisfactory. Today, Shen Honglie's anger finally broke out.
You must know that the shells for the main guns on battleships are very expensive. The cost of one shell is 20,000 gold yuan coupons. Shen Honglie was really distressed when he saw several shells miss in succession.
Since the battleship Dingyuan became the flagship of the East China Sea Fleet, the Dingyuan has also become Shen Honglie's new home. For more than half a year, Shen Honglie has spent almost all his time on the Dingyuan. He has devoted himself to this fleet. All the hard work. He also said to all the fleet officers and soldiers more than once: "If you want to defeat the Japanese combined fleet, you must put in ten times more sweat and effort than the Japanese."
At this moment, an officer came over and reported, "Sir, Dadonggou has arrived."
With a "swish" sound, everyone in the war room looked at Shen Honglie.
Shen Honglie gave an order with a "hum": "Order the fleet to form a battle formation. Except for the personnel on duty, everyone must gather on the deck."
Under Shen Honglie's order, all the East China Sea Fleet put into battle formation, all warships' gun jackets were untied, and all personnel except those on duty gathered on the deck.
Looking up at the fierce blue sky and white sun flag on the ship and the more than a thousand officers and soldiers standing solemnly and neatly on the deck, Shen Honglie said loudly to all the officers and soldiers: "Soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet, forty-five years Not long ago, the Beiyang Navy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Japanese combined fleet here. The Japanese also forced the Manchu Qing government to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating the country. Since then, our country has fallen into a deep crisis. In the midst of the disaster, foreign warships have been doing whatever they want in our territorial waters, and our territorial waters have become their amusement park. And the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy who fought bravely were infamy even to the death. It was the Beiyang Navy. Are the officers and soldiers at a disadvantage in fighting, or are they greedy for life and afraid of death? It is not the case. It is because of the incompetence of the Manchu Qing government that led to the great defeat in the Sino-Japanese War. The purpose of rebuilding the navy is to avoid the shame of the Sino-Japanese War. Restore the prestige of our Chinese navy, brothers and lords, do you have the confidence?"
Shen Honglie's voice was sent to the ears of all the soldiers through the microphone. The officers and soldiers looked at the surging waves on the sea, as if they had seen the scene when Deng Shichang drove the burning Zhiyuan ship towards the Japanese Yoshino. Seeing the scene of the Jingyuan ship firing its last cannonball at the Japanese army before sinking, all the officers and soldiers felt a surge of anger in their hearts, and they all shouted with all their strength.
"Snowy Jiawu Shame"
"Revenge for the Beiyang Navy"
At this time, there was a "boom" sound all around. This was the destroyers starting to fire cannons to pay tribute to the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy who died here.
At this time, I don’t know who took the lead in singing a song, “Today, let us drink this bowl of wine and set out with endless joy to conquer the country called Chu. Oh, let’s set out to conquer the country called Chu. My dear girl, When you receive the letter and this medal I left, I have already blessed you in the sky, my most beautiful girl. When night falls, when you look at the sky, please don’t forget that medal. The most beautiful star is my eyes looking into you."
Just as Shen Honglie took all the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet to take the oath in Dadonggou, Su Tong in Nanjing received a notice from Niuben, a bionic man who stayed at the lunar base. The last batch of planned warships had been built. Su Tong had already completed the construction according to the instructions of Su Tong. The request was sent to a place twenty kilometers away from Nahe Kaen Island, and Su Tong was asked to send someone to receive it.
"good"
Su Tongmeng made a plan, and the batch included two Midway-class aircraft carriers, four Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, eight Brooklyn-class light cruisers, and thirty-two Fletcher-class destroyers.
, the Chinese Navy can finally compete with the Japanese Navy.
Su Tong immediately grabbed the phone and said, "Hey, pick up the Pacific Fleet for me and let Chen Shaokuan pick up the phone."
A CIA official from the White House rushed into the President's office and said urgently out of breath: "Mr. President, an emergency cable from the Asian intelligence station."
Roosevelt, who received the telegram, was so surprised that he almost stood up when he saw the telegram. "What, China added two more aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers and more than 30 destroyers. When did this happen?"
The intelligence officer swallowed hard, "Your Excellency, just today, our agents in Dalian, China, and the engineers working there discovered that the East China Sea Fleet suddenly added an aircraft carrier, two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers.
And more than ten destroyers. Later, after investigation by our agents, it was discovered that the Pacific Fleet stationed in Vladivostok had also added the same number of warships."
This news shocked Roosevelt. Where did China buy the warships from? Or does China have a secret manufacturing base? In just one year, China has transformed from a country with only a few small sailing ships to a maritime power.
, this is too ridiculous. Could it be that today is April Fool’s Day?
"You immediately mobilize your forces in China to search where these warships come from." Roosevelt's expression was very serious. "This is related to the safety of our United States. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency President, I will do it immediately."
The Japanese in China are still very well informed, and the news that the Chinese navy has added new warships quickly spread to the Japanese base camp.
"How could this happen? How could China's navy add so many new warships all at once?" Seeing the strength of the Chinese navy expand like a balloon, Emperor Hirohito could no longer sit still.
At this time, almost all the senior officials in the base camp were standing in front of the emperor, and they all had gloomy faces.
Suzuki Kaixiang suddenly stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. If we don't implement the southward plan, the empire's living space will be crushed by the Chinese."
At this time, Tojo Hideki, Tada Shun and a group of ministers also said to Kaisou at the same time: "Your Majesty, it is time to implement the southward plan."
Seeing the navy and army generals who were so united, Hirohito, who was originally hesitant, finally made up his mind. He stood up and said, "The Chinese people have now pushed us to the edge of the cliff. We can no longer remain silent."
, For the survival space of the empire, gentlemen, let us work together and move forward for the empire."
