New Warlords 1909

Because Izumi was entangled with Yingrui and Zhaohe, the artillery fire was mainly aimed at the southeast.The Feihong entered from the northwest, and the panic-stricken Izumi could only turn part of the secondary guns to prevent the Feihong from approaching.

When the Feihong fired back and approached the limit speed, it turned quickly and fired four torpedoes at the same time.At this time, the deck of the Izumi was already on fire, and countless bullets were shot throughout the hull.When the torpedoes were found to be attacking, the Izumi with the damaged power compartment could no longer exert its maximum evasive speed, and a total of three torpedoes accurately hit the hull.

Accompanied by the explosion and flames soaring into the sky, the huge cruiser was like a destroyer with a displacement of several hundred tons. The entire hull was cut in two from the middle, torn apart, and quickly sank in less than a minute.

"Oh...!" Huge cheers came from the Feihong. This was the biggest victory achieved since the formation of the Navy's surface fleet. It sank a cruiser and a destroyer, and all of them were achieved by the Feihong.

Amidst the cheers, Lei Guangjiong was not excited, but worried about gains and losses.He risked the Feihong being shot in many places, boldly and quickly interspersed and approached, and launched the torpedo at the extremely close range of the torpedo launch.According to Lei Guangjiong's estimate, even if the Izumi was intact, it would be difficult to completely avoid such a distance.

Lei Guangjiong understood that if it hadn't been for Zhaohe and Yingrui to restrain him, if it hadn't been for Hai, Haitian, and Hairong to start retreating, Hequan might not be so bold, chasing the two ships with a displacement not much lower than his The cruiser slammed.He never thought that he would be successfully attacked by the Feihong when he was in pursuit of victory, and three torpedoes hit the vital parts of the hull.

It wasn't that Lei Guangjiong was not excited, it was just that Fuzhi's spiritual battle just now gave him a new idea about naval warfare.The speed of the Feihong is not fast, and the armor is not thick.If you fight against the Izumi alone, it will be difficult to get close to such a distance under the saturated attack of the enemy ship's main guns and auxiliary guns.

If it is replaced by a torpedo boat with a fast distance and a small hull, it can attack cruisers or even battleships.Under the giant guns of the battleship, it is inevitable to hit the torpedo boat.But the battleship's giant guns turned slowly and were very clumsy.Under the attack of a deft torpedo boat, it does not have an advantage.Even if the cruiser's main gun or secondary gun can pose a threat to the torpedo boat, if

If the ground torpedo boat conducts high-density saturation encirclement and suppression of enemy ships, what will happen?

As soon as such an idea came out, all kinds of data and graphics flashed in Lei Guangjiong's mind, and it was unstoppable.While everyone was cheering and celebrating, Lei Guangjiong quickly returned to the captain's room, took out a pen and paper to write and draw, and recorded his inspiration.

The Japanese mainland was attacked, and the four major military ports were attacked. The navy was building ships, repairing ships and sinking many merchant ships, causing heavy losses.More important is the effect on morale, and the damage to the Navy's standing and reputation.The Minister of the Navy, Yatsushiro Rokuro, was so furious that he dispatched all the main warships of the First Fleet defending the mainland, and the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, which were participating in the battle in the East China Sea of ​​the Yellow Sea, to form the First United Team and went south to participate in the battle.

Their mission is to completely blockade the East China Sea, seek a decisive battle with the Chinese navy, wipe out the Chinese naval fleet, attack Shanghai port, and threaten the lives of foreigners, so as to increase the diplomatic pressure of the autonomous region.

The Japanese Navy Minister was really angry. The First Fleet is the main force of the main force of the Japanese Navy fleet.Of the eleven Japanese battleships currently in service, Shikishima, Fuji, Asahi, Katori, Kashima, Satsuma, Aki, Tsukuba, Ikoma, Kurama, and Ibuki, eight are in the First Fleet.Coupled with the other cruisers and destroyers of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, 90.00% of the entire Japanese Navy's military strength is almost heading south. endlessly.

But Hua Fei, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, finally received the reconnaissance report of the plane.

When he saw the main force of the Japanese navy, he was unexpectedly speechless for several minutes.I expected that Japan would retaliate wildly after the deep strike plan, but I didn't expect them to be so crazy.This posture is obviously the scene of a desperate decisive battle, comparable to the suicide planes in the late World War II.

But in the late World War II, Japan was in a desperate situation, and suicide planes were a last resort.Although today's Japan has been hit so hard by Hua Feidi, its development has been greatly affected.But freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and the national strength accumulated since the Meiji Restoration is beyond Hua Fei and even China's ability to catch up in a short period of time.There is no need to go crazy like this after being stimulated a little bit, this is too ungracious of a big country!

Japan is indeed not considered a big country at this time, and its true status as a big country was not recognized by the great powers until after World War I. The so-called BIGFIVEE is one of the top five.Not to mention demeanor, perhaps Hua Fei himself does not have a deep understanding of the Japanese. The attack on the four major ports will affect Japan.

The number of specially made torpedo planes is limited, and the performance is not good. The heavy torpedoes are hung, the speed is slow, and the dexterity in the air is seriously affected.Since the disastrous defeat in the 76 naval battle, Japan's powerful (relatively) shipbuilding industry has acted quickly to update the artillery on major warships in rotation.Many 25mmm, [-]mmm, and other secondary anti-aircraft guns with faster firing rates were replaced. Even when they saw the reconnaissance plane sent by Hua Fei, they kept firing as if the bullets were free.

So when they saw the figure of the giant ship suspected to be the Kirishima, several high-speed torpedo boats quickly drove out of the port and greeted them.At the same time, the bomber formations stationed at several airports in Shanghai also began to take off under the escort of fighter jets.Although Hua Feiming knew that the accuracy of the bomber was limited at this time, it was not effective to deal with moving target warships.But when the enemy hits the door of your house, you can't just keep silent and let someone beat you with the quilt covered.Throw bombs and scare people.Maybe which bomb exploded in character, killed several officers or hit the ammunition depot or something, maybe it did!

It was really the Kirishima. When the huge hull of the Kirishima became clearer and clearer, the whole pier cheered.Although many people don't know what's going on, and although many people know that the main Japanese fleet is about to attack, the excitement and joy are uncontrollable and uncontrollable.

With a displacement of 8000 tons, the total displacement of the six main warships of Huafei's first fleet is only more than 911 tons, which is less than 32 tons. In 32, the total displacement of the entire cruiser fleet and the [-] ships of the Yangtze River Fleet was only [-] tons.So you can imagine why everyone was so excited and excited when they saw the battleship Kirishima, especially when they heard that it was a brand new warship captured by the navy.

Woohoo...!

Under the guidance of several high-speed torpedo boats, the battleship Kirishima bypassed the minefield, slowly entered the Huangpu River, and headed for the Jiangnan Shipyard.Zhu Bing, who was also extremely excited, kept pulling the deep and vigorous whistle of the Kirishima.The sound of the siren attracted all the merchant ships on the river and the citizens and workers on both sides of the river.When passing by the concession, many foreigners heard the news and rushed to the riverside. Looking at this giant ship, everyone was asking the same question.Which country's warship is this?How did the naval flag of the Autonomous Region be raised?Haven't heard of which country the autonomous region ordered battleships from?Besides, even if it is ordered, no one will deliver such a huge ship now that the European war is in full swing!

Such a large warship really belongs to the Autonomous Region Navy?Except for Japan, no East Asian country has built such a huge ship!Think of the air force that took off in groups just now, and the port that was completely blocked not long ago.Some people seem to be able to connect these things, but they can't figure out the relationship.

There are sensitive reporters, quickly report to the agency to pick up the camera and rush to Wu Wharf or Jiangnan Shipyard.At this time, on the riverside of the Jiangnan Shipyard, almost all the shipbuilders stopped their work, and watched the Kirishima ship slowly enter the new dock that had just been expanded a few days ago, either in a daze, in a daze, or in a daze.With a total length of more than 500 feet, the latest dockyard of Jiangnan Plant, which can accommodate the repair of [-]-ton ships, cannot accommodate this giant ship.A long part of the stern was still exposed outside the dock, and the dock door could not be closed at all.

The arrival of the Kirishima not only added a powerful force to the autonomous region's navy.Its shock and influence on the workers of Jiangnan Shipyard is immeasurable.Many years later, in the memoirs of many old technicians and engineers of the Jiangnan Plant, when talking about the history of the development of China's shipbuilding industry and navy, the shock and excitement when they saw the Kirishima at the beginning could not be missed.

Note: Historically, the Jiangnan Factory started to build the third dock in 19 years of the Republic of China. When it was completed in 25 years, the new dock was 647 feet long, 0 feet wide, and 26 feet deep. It can accommodate ships of 2 tons for repairs. The largest shipyard in the country at that time.Even the largest shipyard in the country cannot accommodate the docking of the Kirishima for repairs, from which we can see the gap between China and Japan in the shipbuilding industry.Of course, the purpose of this novel is to close this gap.I know a lot of people are waiting, no, I didn’t sleep and made it out, sweating ~ 1 feet = 03048 meters.

180 Homing

Shocked and shocked, although I don’t know how the autonomous region’s navy owns it, but how to say, this is a very exciting thing, and it is worth cheering and celebrating, isn’t it?

After the reform, the Jiangnan Shipyard is no longer a government-run factory with deep vitality and entangled with malpractice.After repeated education and the launch of various salary reward systems, workers have undoubtedly achieved a leapfrog improvement in terms of work consciousness and enthusiasm.It has been a long time since the workers' strike movement, which was so turbulent in history, has happened in the autonomous region.

The shock caused by the entry of the Kirishima into the Huangpu River quickly spread throughout Shanghai. Before the upsurge reached its peak, the main battleship of the First Fleet appeared in the telescopes of Hua Fei and others who were waiting at the dock with many scars.

"Report, Battle Report of the First Fleet!"

The flagship could not wait to transmit their results by radio, and at the same time reported that the Japanese combined team was in hot pursuit.

"Okay!" Staff Bai Kaijun was the first to read the battle report, walked over with a smile on his face, and presented the battle report, "Commander, God helped me, the First Fleet won again!"

"Sink a light cruiser, sink a destroyer, and damage a light cruiser!" Hua Fei gently finished reading the victory report sent by the First Fleet. Compared to the excitement of Bai Kaijun, Hua Fei was much calmer .The six main battleships of the First Fleet were all dispatched, and encountered a Japanese squadron, two light cruisers, and four destroyers.Whether it is tonnage, or firepower and quantity, the opponent is at a disadvantage.

Moreover, these two old ships are said to be cruisers, but their displacement is only more than 2000 tons, and they are all old ships that existed during the Sino-Japanese War.Among them, the Izumi has been deregistered and is about to be dismantled. Because of the defeat in the September [-] naval battle, the Japanese Navy used a large number of decommissioned training ships, which were slightly refitted and put into the battlefield to escort the merchant fleet.

You said that in the face of such a squadron, if it loses another battle, what face will the First Fleet have to return to Hong Kong?

In the eyes of outsiders, Hua Fei undoubtedly values ​​the Air Force the most.Not only trained a large number of pilots, but also built two aircraft factories successively.In September of this year, he even set up a study abroad fund under the education fund, and transferred 1000 million yuan from his personal account.More than 20 people were specially selected and sent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study in the first phase of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering.Let this department, which originally only had two students, seem to have suddenly become an Oriental Chinese school. (There are 2 people in the first phase of aerospace engineering in Massachusetts, which seems to start in September. The 9th person, but there are four Chinese people, including Bayuzao, Wang Zhu, Wang Xiaofeng and others.)

But few people know.Hua Fei actually pays attention to the navy.Not at all weaker than the Air Force.Although since the formation of the First Fleet of the Navy.Hua Fei has never built or purchased large warships.But in terms of warship modification and upgrading.But at all costs.And painstakingly.Purchased and introduced the production line of U-shaped submarines of the "famous" land of later generations.Cost the navy most of its equipment purchases.All used to build submarines.

And the maintenance of the existing fleet.train.Spending money is like flowing water!Don't look at the weak strength of the Navy's First Fleet.But it costs a lot of military money.Compared to the Army.has been almost paralleled.This is also the limit of what Hua Fei can do at present.

The first group of naval soldiers who surrendered.Nearly half of the unqualified sailors have retired or withdrawn from the battle order.Many elite soldiers in the army and soldiers with a certain degree of education among the recruits.They were all sent to the Navy.Although the overall education level ratio is not as good as that of Air Force pilots.But in terms of quantity.The literacy rate of naval soldiers.It is definitely second to none among the three armed forces of the National Defense Forces.

Hua Fei paid attention.More focus on the report of the enemy's situation after the telegram.A huge combined Japanese fleet.Is chasing quickly.Comprehensive aircraft reconnaissance to intelligence.Hua Fei frowned involuntarily.What he is most worried about now is not the opponent's violent attack on Shanghai.Although the Japanese combined fleet is menacing.But if you bombard Shanghai.Will face great diplomatic pressure.Because the most prosperous area in Shanghai.Basically, it is the territory and property of foreigners.

Hua Fei was worried.How the main Japanese fleet continued to blockade Shanghai Port.It even banned the entry and exit of foreign merchant fleets.Then attack the autonomous region.will be huge.And the combined fleet is so densely packed together.Even a submarine.I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results.And that's it.It is located at the naval base on Changxing Island.If the Japanese army does not hesitate to pay the price.I am afraid that the Changxing Island Naval Base in Zhongdi is under construction.It will be difficult to save.

"Send me the order immediately!" Hua Fei made a decisive decision immediately. "Changxing Island Naval Base. Except for the necessary coastal defense combatants. Everyone else. All will be withdrawn to Shanghai. Students from the Changxing Island Naval Military Academy. The first batch to withdraw! All security forces. Enter first-level combat readiness!"

"Yes!" Bai Kaijun was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what Hua Fei meant.This concern was not unreasonable, and the order was quickly conveyed to Changxing Island.The military students who were in class were quickly organized.Although I guessed what happened, the hundreds of young students in the entire academy rarely saw panic, only the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

The coastal defense forces stationed on Changxing Island took their positions amidst the sound of sirens. As early as the beginning of the construction of the Changxing Island Naval Base, Hua Fei imported more than 20 2-1-inch coastal defense guns from Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries.The coastal defense artillery was built in the cement turret, and the heavy shells were quickly transported to the bunker.Although there are these coastal defense artillery defenses, the number is limited after all. Facing the attack of the Japanese combined fleet, Hua Fei is not sure whether he can hold on.

The six main warships of the First Fleet slowly bypassed the minefield and sailed into the Huangpu River.The bodies of several battleships were more or less traumatized.Especially the flagship Hai, some parts of the ship are still emitting black smoke after being destroyed.But such a scene could not stop the excitement of the sailors on the pier in the slightest. They jumped up and waved their hats to welcome the triumphant warriors.

Many of the sailors on board were wounded, some were covered with black ashes, some were in tattered clothes, and were extremely exhausted.But when they saw the warm welcome scene in front of them, many people were astonished, and a proud smile appeared on their faces.There was no one moaning from the wounded or sick in the bed cabin. People endured the pain and walked out of the cabin, holding on to the side of the boat, watching the scene of crowds of people celebrating outside.Someone couldn't hold back for a while, and the tears didn't stop.

When the First Fleet entered the Huangpu River, those citizens who heard the news and rushed to the riverside to see the figure of the Kirishima saw the battle-scarred naval warship, and many of them immediately guessed what it was.

"It turns out that the giant ship just now was a captured enemy ship!"

"How to say? I see

The giant ship is brand new from top to bottom, how could it be captured in battle?

Among the people watching by the river, some young people who were concerned about current affairs began to argue loudly, which immediately caused the surrounding people to listen with bated breath.

"It's not a captured enemy ship. Then you say my navy warship, where did the scars all over the body come from? But that giant ship just sailed in! Also, a few hours ago, why were there so many planes All take off?" The young man who made this guess was not sure, and immediately expressed his doubts.

"This... this... If I knew, why would I need to ask you! I see, the giant ship just now was probably captured by us before it was completed in the shipyard!"

"Haha..." The young man said casually, and he laughed along with the people around him.Apparently, even he didn't believe it himself.Although the First Fleet of the Navy has six huge ships, it is undoubtedly a dead end to attack the Japanese port.

Due to the unprecedented openness of the Jagged Army newspaper, before declaring war on Japan, a large number of military strengths of Japan and other powers were introduced.Therefore, the strength of the Japanese navy is well known to all young people who are concerned about the military.

So when Hua Fei declared war on Japan, most people supported the National Defense Forces to send troops to Shandong to drive Japan out of the sea and go back to their hometown.But when it comes to an all-out decisive battle against the Japanese navy, there is hardly any positive discussion.Even after the September [-]th naval battle, few people thought that the navy of the autonomous region was the opponent of the Japanese navy.

Even so, the people along the coast did not hesitate to cheer for the heroic naval soldiers.Although the results of the battle are not yet clear, but thinking of the huge ship before and seeing the rows of sailors standing on the side of the ship, people's emotions are like ignited gunpowder, turbulent and enthusiastic.

Among the jubilant crowd, Zhu Zhiyao also silently watched the six warships of the First Fleet enter the port area of ​​Jiangnan Factory for maintenance, and listened to a worker's mouthful description of the giant ship he saw just now.Zhu Zhi's heart is full of emotions, and his thoughts are mixed!
