.Chapter 219 Navy Fang

It took more than half a month, and on March 2, the capture of Hengyang was finally completed. Li Zongren also completed the strategy of Loudi, which formed a strategic encirclement of Zhuzhou and Changsha, completely shaking the enemy's throat.

Ye Mingtao and the city can be considered heroic. For the unattainable dream of a strong country, there are still admirable brave men in different camps.

The seven missile cruisers were about 9,800 tons, and the bows had two 155mm main guns arranged in front and rear, and 6 of them had 127mm secondary guns. Three of them were ordered from the UK and were modified in the dock after returning to China and equipped with missile launchers with inclined angles.

Xu Jiangwen was actually not worried. According to the pre-war plan, the main combat mission of this First Fleet was to escort the troop transport mobile fleet, suppress the firepower of the opposite shore, deter the enemy destroyer fleet and suppress the firepower of the ship.

The opponent's naval strength is not worth mentioning. Just a dozen old ironclad ships, paired with a few warships built ten years ago, are not enough to pose a threat.

At the beginning of the design, cruisers were mainly used in ocean-going combat and had strong combat capabilities and command functions. Hualian's missile cruiser was a medium-sized surface ship with strong firepower and many uses, and could be used in ocean-going operations.

With a body of 9,800 tons, Henggang is in front of the fleet, and the missile launcher slightly pointed to the sky emits a bitter cold light. This weapon is not intended to be used in this naval battle, mainly because it is afraid of being recognized by the Japanese. After all, the failure of the naval fleet outside Kaohsiung Port is still a big mystery.

It also made Japan a laughing stock among the navy's powerful country. There has never been a precedent in the world that a strong country's navy lost to the armed forces without the navy. Compared with the Italians who lost to the Qing Dynasty who only had wooden ships, the Japanese were disgraced in Kaohsiung.

The snake-class light cruiser is equipped with strong offensive and defensive weapons, has high speed and airworthiness, and can conduct ocean-going operations for a long time in harsh climate conditions.

According to the outline of the Ten-Year Construction Plan of the Hualian Navy, its main task is to escort future aircraft carriers and battleships, or to form a maritime maneuvering formation as a formation flagship to attack enemy surface ships, submarines or shore targets.

In fact, after the signing of the Washington Treaty that restricted naval armament in 1922, the tonnage and number of battleships, aircraft carriers and cruisers were strictly restricted.

In order not to violate the provisions of the treaty, countries began to develop light cruisers. The tonnage of this kind of cruiser is below 10,000 tons and has a very fast speed, reaching 35 knots. The ship is equipped with 6-12 main guns with a caliber of about 127-133 mm. In addition, it is equipped with 8-12 secondary guns below 127-12 small caliber guns and dozens of small caliber guns.

Many light cruisers are equipped with weapons such as torpedoes and mines at the same time. Some ships also carry 2 to 4 seaplanes, mainly used for reconnaissance. Since these light cruisers do not have specific regulations in the treaty, the major naval powers began to play edge balls and made many small moves.

For example, the treaty cruiser built by the UK was designed according to the design of a 190mm large-caliber naval gun, but when equipped with weapons, it used a 152mm caliber naval gun. After the treaty expired, the large-caliber naval gun was replaced immediately. Japan was the same, first equipped with 5 155mm cannons, and then suddenly replaced with 5 203mm large-caliber cannons.

The main functions of heavy patrols and large light patrols are artillery battles, including confronting similar enemy ships and bombarding targets on the shore. Small and medium-sized light patrols are mainly used as the flagship of the destroyer fleet, leading the destroyer fleet to launch an attack on the enemy's large ships, or leading the escort fleet to cover its own non-combat ships, and serving air defense missions.

Because Hualian does not have its own battleships and aircraft carriers, it was originally just a cruiser that commanded combat as a squadron flagship or participated in naval battles under the flagship, but in the first fleet it was the main flagship. On the sea surface of the Fujian Province, the mission was to implement firepower preparation and fire support for the Marine Corps during the landing war.

At the same time, Wang Liwen will also lead the armored division to break through the defense line set up by Jiang Guangnai in Zhangzhou and Longyan. During the battle in Hunan, the defects of the separate use of armored troops have been highlighted in the later stages of the war.

The Armored Army's raid tactics have also officially begun to appear, but due to factors such as the number of tanks and the old product models, Wang Liwen's record cannot reach the glory of the German armored forces in history.

However, considering the time difference and technical difference, Wang Liwen and the Huajun Base Camp both had considerable high expectations for this.

The length of the coastline of mainland Fujian is 3,324 kilometers, ranking second in the country. This is the latest data obtained based on satellite mapping of the watchtower.

Fujian Province is a major marine province, separated from Taiwan. In recent years, with the influence of natural changes in the coastal zone and the influence of marine development and utilization activities such as human reclamation, reclamation, bending, and straightening, how much has the length of Fujian's coastline changed.

Given that Kinmen and Mazu are very close to Taiwan under the jurisdiction of Japan, Hualian has been using the latest satellite remote sensing images, nautical charts, and topographic data to conduct high-precision repair, classification and calculation of its coastline to continuously monitor the coastline status of Kinmen Island and Mazu Island in real time.

The warship in the lead, the all-steel hull reflected a grayish-white brilliance under the sun, like a sharp sword unsheathed, breaking through the shimmering ocean surface, stirring up countless mists.

As the command flagship of the First Fleet, the "Xiang Yao" is naturally the mount of the naval commander Xu Jiangwen. The slender hull is the largest tonnage among the snake-class warships and the most powerful combat power among all missile cruisers.

The three-to-four-mounted missile launchers are arranged at both ends of the hull. They are also the only cruiser currently using mechanized automatic missile loading, and are completely superior to other ships that manually load missiles in terms of efficiency.

The "Xiang Yao" can carry 96 missiles of various types, whether it is ground-to-air or air, or conquering all over the world, and has super combat power.

In the middle of the bridge is the commander's seat, slightly higher than the deck, with a maximum control system, and is the central place where the captain commands the overall situation.

Xu Jiangwen wore a light blue naval uniform with beautiful oriental patterns on it, but also revealed a simple Western style, which was both practical and beautiful, and was deeply loved by naval officers and soldiers.

As the captain, Xu Jiangwen is also equipped with the Longquan Sword, which is a symbol of identity and status, and represents insurmountable power. His face showed the calmness and majesty of a general, tall and thin, and dark skin, because he was exposed to the sun on the sea all year round.

Standing next to him was the Chief of Staff, who was also a naval major who was a student of Xu Jiangwen at the same time. He wore glasses and looked cold: "Commander, what did the United Front Work Department of the Cabinet think? Why don't our army use missiles?"

This order to not use missiles to fight at any time unless necessary has obviously caused dissatisfaction among many naval generals. Having such a powerful weapon in his hands but not being able to use it is equivalent to binding one's own hands and feet. How can we fight with the enemy?

"The cabinet also has the consideration of the cabinet, and the head of state shall not disobey the orders of the head of state." Wearing plain white gloves woven in silk on his hand, Xu Jiangwen dragged his chin and comforted the adjutant's complaints expressionlessly. There was no emotional fluctuation on his handsome face, which made people unable to guess his thoughts.

"The main gun of the warship with the largest caliber is only 155mm, and our army will find it difficult to engage in artillery battles with the enemy's ports. If the missile cannot be used, it must find another landing location." The adjutant just complained, not to question the cabinet's decision. Even if he does not agree, he must act on orders.

Execution of orders is the soul of the army.

The warship was equipped with artillery positioning instruments to help the warship aim and shoot on the shaking sea surface. However, no matter how the ability of the naval gun is strengthened, it is impossible to rely solely on the fleet to strike the military port with complete fortifications.

In the world, there is no fleet that dares to challenge the modern military port, which is no different from suicide.

In the dark eyes, an inexplicable cold light flashed deep in the pupils. Xu Jiangwen seemed confident: "It is not too difficult for us to have the 'Tian Eye' looking down at everything above, finding a landing point. What's more, on the coastline of more than 3,000 kilometers, there is no real navy, and the ** Party cannot defend at all."

This is indeed a fact. No matter how wise and despicable it is a joke to use the army to defend the long coastline. The Marines can choose their own landing point and continue to land and attack along the coast, which makes the ** army exhausted and consumes a lot of morale and physical strength.

Cooperating with the armored division with a rapid and rapid attack style, the entire Fujian Province is simply the item in the pocket of Hualian. Such military achievements are basically given to him, so how unhappy Xu Jiangwen?

The cabinet gradually spread rumors, and it is said that the proposal to receive military merits will be formally proposed in the parliament soon. Once this matter becomes a fact, then you can definitely get a good title by relying on your status as the commander of the navy and the military merits you gained from your combat operations.

This is the dream and pursuit of heroes in troubled times. A real man should make achievements, win his wife and children, and achieve great success. Hualian is a big stage, giving hope to all people in this system.

Only by constantly giving hope and rewards and condensing the inheritance and belief of culture can China have the opportunity to rise. Military merits and titles are just a microcosm. Cultivating a stable interest group will help consolidate the status of the ancient Chinese Society in the Hualian League.

The Hualian Navy, a sea beast, showed its fangs to the world for the first time...
