Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Jin Xiaoer got hold of four shallow-water heavy gunboats with a full load displacement of 4 tons and was overwhelmed.

A group of naval personnel was organized and preparations for near-shore operations began.

Practice in an orderly manner.

Give him some color, I really want to open a dyeing factory.

Specifically in the early morning, the Shi Le-class shallow-water heavy gunboat was launched, named Fangchuan gunboat, and sailed eastward.

The heavy gunboat's speed is not fast, and it can reach 12 knots when running at full power.

The ship was fully loaded with 252 people, and they were driving the gunboat in a show of force in the middle and lower reaches of the Tujiang River.

When you get close to the Tujiang Railway Bridge, turn around and drive back.

A route of less than 15 kilometers has become a place for this giant ship to show off its firepower, testing its guns in a wide area of ​​water.

The cannon roared, and violent flames spurted out of the barrel, landing near the target area.

The power of the explosion far exceeds that of an ordinary howitzer.

Naval guns and howitzers are not the same thing. With the current power, it is not a problem to destroy an infantry platoon with one shot.

With good fire control radar, the accuracy of artillery fire has been greatly improved.

The main gun has a range of 16 kilometers, and can almost directly hit the vicinity of the sea outlet from the Fangchuan line.

The fierce whistle alarmed the soldiers stationed along the river.

The people from the Northern Dynasty ran to the shore, waving their arms and shouting inaudible words.

The gunboat's captain, Cui Shihui, turned and asked the translator beside him.

"What are they shouting?"

"They are cheering for the might of the Northern Dynasty's gunboats, and they think our Fangchuan are four small gunboats given by the Russian bear."

Oh?

So that's what it is, raising the national flag.

The flag stands tall, bright red, like the proudest carp in the river, crossing the Dragon Gate and transforming into a dragon.

The North Korean soldiers stopped and cheered.

"What's going on? Is this Dragon Country's gunboat? Isn't it our gunboat?"

"I am happy for nothing."

"The barrel of the gun is too big. How can we stop it if it fires?"

Compared with the heavy gunboats, the patrol boats on the river bank are like a ball next to a giant, which can be kicked away or controlled at will.

The patrol troops on the Russian side also discovered something unusual. The big guy in the river revealed a threat that was difficult to conceal.

A ship with a displacement of 800 tons appeared near the mouth of Tujiang River, almost cutting off the waters in half.

Cui Shihui ordered the gunboat to approach the Tujiang Bridge.

The iron bridge, which was only 7 meters high, was overlooked by the gunboats.

How many shots are needed to destroy a 130mm naval gun?

The news that Ding Wei was building an inland port in Fangchuan quickly spread to both Jin Xiaoer and Mao Xiong.

The other person's face suddenly turned gloomy.

From the coast of Tujiang, the range of naval guns is too large.

Within a range of 16 kilometers, everything is within the enemy's range.

If we replace it with a rocket-assisted extended-range missile, we can try a range of 30 kilometers, which should not be a big problem.

Rocket-extended-range missiles are already outdated gadgets from World War II for Manchuria, which has maxed out its military technology. They can easily hit targets within 30 kilometers.

After all, the caliber of the naval gun is there, and the charge has been increased, but the range is nothing more than insufficient charge.

Jin Xiaoer looked at the Mao Xiong consultant eagerly, wanting to say, Daddy, I want to...

What was he thinking?

Of course, a gunboat with a displacement of more than 800 tons is also needed as the flagship of the offshore fleet.

The four gunboats could not be pulled out and could not be a match for the Fangchuan gunboat.

The Russian bear also looked indignant. This was his territory, so how could he let Ding Wei's Tujiang Fleet steal the limelight?

We must mobilize new shallow-water heavy gunboats over 800 tons. Can't we pull over the Hassan-class heavy gunboat with a displacement of 2000 tons?

The Russian Bear has three Hassan-class shallow-water heavy gunboats, with powerful artillery, thick armor, strong ships and powerful guns.

800 ships with a displacement of 7 tons and 263 ships with a displacement of 13 tons.

Unfortunately, the Pacific Fleet only had a heavy gunboat with a displacement of 263 tons, which was originally designed to be used on the Amur River to fight against the Japanese gunboats.

The Japanese gunboats are all small gunboats with a displacement of less than 100 tons, so they still have an advantage in confrontation.

Now against the Fangchuan pulled out by Ding Wei, the 13 gunboats in hand are obviously no match.

The first solution that came to mind was to deploy warships from other navies.

The navy's idea is not very realistic. The four major naval fleets of the Russian bear are thousands of miles apart and fight in different sea areas. It is difficult for them to coordinate with each other.

It is impossible to transfer a Hassan-class shallow-water heavy gunboat from the distant Baltic Sea or Black Sea in a short period of time. The gunboat may break down during the voyage.

After all, it is a shallow-water heavy gunboat for inland rivers, not a cruiser for ocean-going use.

The gunboats in the Amur River are not larger than 800 tons, and all of them are 263 tons when fully loaded.

Haha, Ding Wei also took advantage of an opportunity, and the only 800-ton heavy gunboat fell into his hands.

This thing is useless, it is only used for shallow water warfare in inland rivers. Relying on its strong armor, it can be used as a water tank and a mobile coastal defense gun.

The key is that others have what you don't, so you are at a disadvantage in the confrontation. It has sufficient firepower, is armored, and can be maneuvered. Don't you think it's infuriating?

New shallow-water gunboats must be arranged, with a displacement of at least 500 tons.

Is it too late to rebuild now?

With the capabilities of the Far East shipyards, there is no problem in building 500-1000 ton shallow-water heavy gunboats.

The construction period is only half a year to a year, so we can consider rebuilding a few large gunboats.

The Tujiang estuary cannot be given to Longguo, let alone Ding Wei.

Jin Xiaoer is powerless. His strength depends on the support of the Russian bear. The more support he gets, the stronger he is. The less support he gets, the weaker he is.

Ding Wei's Tujiang Fleet continued to cruise, providing sufficient pressure for firepower coverage.

The three parties are allies, but there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.

Besides, allies and friends are meant to be betrayed.

Who would look for allies if they are not used for betrayal?

The Russian bear cannot produce heavy artillery ships for the time being and cannot suppress Ding Wei’s Tujiang Fleet, let alone Jin Xiaoer.

The small boats we have are all given by the Russian bear.

He is the only one who treasures these trivial things.

When Ding Wei builds the missile destroyer, he will be the first one to be dealt with.

Now, of course, we have to talk about the Tujiang Bridge. You built the bridge to be only 7 meters high, which makes it difficult for my gunboats to pass through.

Do you want to tear it down?

If you don't tear it down, I'll help you blow it up.

Blowing up the bridge can bring huge rewards, and this is what Ding Wei is most passionate about.

But I feel a little conflicted inside.

The technical level at hand has not been fully digested, and the military technology is already at the top level. What is lacking is the industrialization steps and the mobilization of resources.

Bombing the Tujiang Bridge at this time would inevitably break off relations with the Russians and Jin Xiaoer, which would be detrimental to Mr. Yumi's provision of industrial assistance after he takes office.

It's almost September now, and the river here will soon freeze over. We can wait for five months until the beginning of next spring before blasting the ice.

Be patient and keep this big gift package.

Take the opportunity to open up the railway from Fangchuan Town to Xinjing to enhance transportation conditions at the seaport.
