Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone
Chapter 39: Building a Naval Fleet, Deutschland-class Pocket Battleships
During the Second World War in the original time and space, the Katyusha rocket launcher became famous after it was put into use in the war. It frightened Sandezi and became the nightmare of all armies.
In the face of rocket launchers, there is no such thing as new recruits being afraid of artillery and veterans being afraid of machine guns.
All beings are equal in front of Katyusha.
Because this thing can fire dozens or even hundreds of missiles in one salvo, the accuracy is poor, but the dispersion area is large, and you can't dodge it even if you want to.
Jiang Hua, who came from the modern time and space of the original world, was very clear about the power of the Katyusha rocket launcher.
So he decided to form a brigade-level rocket artillery unit to continue to strengthen the firepower of the troops.
This independent rocket artillery brigade is different from the independent second and third heavy artillery brigades and has four rocket artillery battalions under its command.
Each artillery battalion is equipped with 24 Katyusha rocket launchers.
The entire brigade is equipped with a total of 96 Katyusha rocket launchers.
If fired in unison, 96 Katyusha tanks can deliver 1536 132mm caliber rockets to the enemy at one time.
The power of this thing is no less than that of a 155mm large-caliber grenade. Its destructive ability may not be as good as that of a howitzer, but its lethality is absolutely amazing.
If more than 1500 rockets were dropped on an area at once, one can imagine how spectacular and tragic the scene would be.
Of course, the spectacular scene is for our side, and the tragic scene is for the enemy.
If the Northern Frontier Army launches a large-scale attack, Jiang Hua doesn't mind letting them experience the power of thousands of rocket launchers firing simultaneously.
Anyway, he has more than one million yuan in funds every day, and a rocket only costs a few points.
He didn't mind spending tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy some rockets for the Northern Frontier Army.
However, Jiang Hua did not expect that the Northern Frontier Army did not get to taste the rockets first, but the Fuso Army got the first prize.
As for the independent heavy tank brigade, it is still equipped with three heavy tanks of different systems.
Tiger heavy tank, IS-2 heavy tank and Pershing heavy tank.
The IS-2 and Pershing heavy tanks were both large tanks designed to deal with the Tiger tank.
Relatively speaking, the Tiger tank has no advantage over these three tanks.
At the same time, its reliability is the worst among the three tanks.
But the Tiger tank is so cool, Jiang Hua doesn't mind equipping it on a small scale.
Therefore, the heavy tanks that will be deployed on a large scale by the Renaissance Army in the future will actually be derived from the IS-2 and Pershing models.
Judging from the literal data, the Pershing tank is definitely inferior to the IS-2 heavy tank.
At 46 tons, it is several tons heavier than the Pershing, not to mention that it has a 122mm caliber barrel.
The Pershing tank was only 90mm.
Judging from the actual combat records, Pershing is no match for IS-2.
In a certain battle, the Russian hero Ma Zulin drove his IS-2 heavy tank and destroyed or damaged 21 Tiger tanks of Sandezi in one battle.
In a battle in 44, it encountered the King Tiger and eventually destroyed three King Tiger tanks.
As for Pershing, his combat record was much inferior, but he was able to fight against the Tiger.
In Jiang Hua's opinion, he is more inclined to the IS-2 heavy tank.
Moreover, he has now asked his engineers to remove the optical aiming system of the IS-2 heavy tank and replace it with a full set of German optical aiming system.
If successful, it can further improve the IS-2 heavy tank's medium and long-range hit rate and more efficiently exert the power of the 122mm tank gun.
After all, the TSH-2 sight equipped on the IS-17 is really not that good.
The magnification is similar to that of the German ones, but it only has a fixed five-fold magnification. Sandezi's TZF-9 series scopes have a 2.5-fold magnification.
When facing closer targets, the 2.5x magnification is definitely more useful.
Of course this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the perspective.
IS-2的TSH-17瞄准镜视角很小,比T-34坦克的16°角还要小一半多,只有7.5°。
而三德子的TZF-9系列瞄准镜在2.5倍放大率上有着28°的视角,在5倍放大率上也有着14°的视角。
This also means a wider field of view, allowing for faster target acquisition and more time to aim.
The linked sight combined with the precision calculation provides a reliable distance, and coupled with the inherent high initial velocity and high penetration of the gun, German tanks are often able to fire first and kill first. These combined factors create the power of German tanks.
If the IS-2 can be equipped with this system and matched, its combat effectiveness can be improved to a higher level.
With the organization already determined, the Second Legion was also established.
Gu Zhengyang has arrived at the branch base and become the person in charge here.
Then he would naturally skip the position of army commander and directly take up the position of corps commander.
But this did not make Gu Zhengyang happy. Instead, it made him feel pressure as huge as Mount Tai.
I was just lucky and encountered a temporary military expansion, so I was able to skip two or three levels and serve as the legion commander.
According to the normal promotion process, the next step would be deputy commander of the corps, most likely chief of staff of the corps.
Then comes the deputy commander, and finally the corps commander.
Since the plan to take over Donglai City was temporarily shelved, Jiang Hua built several more naval bases to increase the number of troops.
Although Donglai Bay cannot build large ships, it can still build small and medium-sized ships.
In the future, this place will be used exclusively for the construction of submarines and small and medium-sized ships.
This time he built a total of three naval bases and occupied Donglai Bay.
Basically, the places with the deepest water have been built.
The water depth in the remaining areas is only three or four meters at most, which is not suitable for building a naval base.
Reality and games are different.
You don't have to consider these complicated issues in the game, you can build it as long as it is by the sea.
But in reality, we must take these issues into consideration.
Otherwise, the ship would be stranded as soon as it leaves the naval base.
Jiang Hua also has plans for the three newly built naval bases.
One is used to build destroyers, one is used to build cruisers, and the other is used to build a type of battleship.
Jiang Hua chose American models for both the destroyer and the cruiser.
The reason is very simple. American ships have better radars and generally have very good performance.
The most American destroyer is none other than the Gearing-class destroyer, which entered service at the end of World War II.
Its full load displacement is as high as 3520 tons, the maximum speed is 36.8 knots, and the draft is 4 meters.
The main guns are three twin-mounted MK3 38mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns, which can fire anti-aircraft shells equipped with VT proximity fuses.
防空武器方面装备有2座四联装40毫米博福斯机关炮、2座双联装博福斯机关炮以及11门20毫米厄利孔高炮。
This thing is much more expensive than the Type 21 submarine, costing 200 million per unit.
In the naval shipbuilding plan initially drawn up by Jiang Hua.
将建成驱逐舰6艘、巡洋舰2-3艘、战列舰2艘,至于潜艇的话暂定还是6艘。
He doesn't have that much money now, and it is impossible for the naval base to build six destroyers in a short period of time.
With a shipbuilding capacity of 3000 tons per month, a Gearing-class ship would take 35 days to build.
It will take 6 days, or 210 months, to build 7 ships.
The cruiser chose the 2+1 mode.
That is, two light cruisers mainly used for air defense and anti-submarine operations and one heavy cruiser mainly used for artillery combat.
The navy's biggest rival is the Fuso Navy. This huge navy, the largest in East Asia and among the top five in the world, is also their strongest opponent at present.
If it weren't for the base, this gap would be despairing and there would be no hope of catching up.
Since the Fuso Navy is the biggest opponent, the selected ships are naturally targeted.
Among the light cruisers, there is an outlier called the Cleveland-class light cruiser, which was designed and built specifically to deal with the light cruisers of the Combined Fleet.
The reason why it is called an outlier is that its tonnage is comparable to that of a heavy cruiser.
The later improved model of the Cleveland-class light cruiser has a full load displacement of tons.
The reason why this tonnage is still a light cruiser is because of the standard.
Only those equipped with naval guns of 203 mm or larger are considered heavy cruisers.
The Cleveland-class light cruiser is equipped with four triple-mounted 4mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns as its main guns, and twelve 152mm secondary guns.
This thing has a large tonnage, so the cost is quite high.
A single ship would require 480 million in funding, and two ships would require nearly million.
Only at this moment did Jiang Hua realize his own poverty.
It takes four or five days to build a light cruiser.
One million a day is not enough when it comes to the navy.
It is indeed a gold-devouring beast. Not every country can afford this thing.
This is just a light cruiser of a few tons.
But no matter how difficult it is, the navy must be developed.
What's more, this thing is not a one-time investment.
It takes nearly five months to build a Cleveland-class light cruiser.
He has 3500 million in funds in a month, which means more than 5 million in months.
So when you look at it over a longer timeline, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
As for heavy cruisers, the only option is the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser.
This thing has a full load displacement of tons and is armed with three 203mm main guns. It has strong air defense capabilities and a high speed.
The construction cost is much higher than that of Cleveland, reaching 600 million.
This thing is very good as a battleship escort.
As for battleships, due to the draft depth issue, Jiang Hua can only choose a German battleship, or a battlecruiser is more appropriate.
It is the Deutschland-class pocket battleship built by the former world champion San Dezi in the early 30s.
The draft is 5.8 meters, which is barely enough to sail out of Donglai Bay.
This thing is actually a battle cruiser, with a full load displacement of only a few tons, even less than the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser.
But its gun barrel is thick enough, reaching 280 mm, with a triple-mounted turret at the head and tail, for a total of 6 guns.
The reason why Jiang Hua chose it was to use it to break up raids and fight guerrilla warfare at sea.
Because those who can beat it can't outrun it.
The speed of 28 knots is two or three knots faster than the battleships of the Fuso Navy.
Don’t underestimate these two or three knots of speed. At sea, these two or three knots of speed increase is already a huge advantage in speed.
As for those who can outrun it, they are no match for its six 6mm cannon barrels.
Therefore, the biggest threat to him is the Fuso Navy's aircraft carrier.
This is also the reason why Jiang Hua spent a lot of money to equip it with two Cleveland-class light cruisers. This thing is an anti-aircraft cruiser.
Coupled with the anti-aircraft artillery of the Gearing-class and Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, it is guaranteed that the Fuso Navy's carrier-based aircraft cannot fly in.
You should know that whether it is Keeling, Cleveland or Baltimore's MK-12 127mm dual-purpose guns, they can all fire VT fuse shells, and their air defense efficiency has increased several times more than before.
This fleet was initially built by Jiang Hua to counter the Fuso Navy.
If it is within the combat range of its own shore-based aviation force, it can be guaranteed that the Fuso Navy cannot enter Zhili Bay.
