Chapter 417 Winter Artillery Battle
The shape that does not conform to the aesthetics of mainstream air force fighter jets does not mean that "thunder and lightning" is not popular among soldiers. Excellent protection means that they have better protection when attacking ground targets, and the load capacity of up to six tons also makes this attack aircraft extremely terrifying and diverse attack power.
When designing this kind of aircraft, it was already clear that it must have long-term air stagnation ability to hover and support at the attack site for a long time. Therefore, it can stagnate in the attack area 400 kilometers away from the departure airport for up to two hours. Such long-term air stagnation ability will bring its own side a long and powerful air advantage.
The two main aircraft of the Air Force and the local area have been determined, while the Navy's carrier-based jet fighter and attack aircraft need to be finalized and produced later. The main reason is that the light escort aircraft carrier currently installed by the Navy cannot withstand such take-off and landing of aircraft with a self-weight of more than eight tons. In addition, the aircraft wings required by the Shanghai Army must be able to fold, and these two aircraft are not suitable for the Navy for the time being.
Moreover, although the Navy showed great interest in the powerful protection of "thunder and lightning", after investigation, it gave up the idea of using it as a carrier-based aircraft.
Because the design of "Thunderbolt" is aimed at ground targets, the six-barrel 25mm shellless heavy machine gun on its nose can penetrate the top armor of most tanks at present, and is a real-life tank killer, but lacks effective means to attack ships. Therefore, the Navy's only Marines chose this attack aircraft in the end.
It will take some time for the two jets to be mass-mounted, but the production of traditional propeller fighters has reached a relatively stable production speed. An average of 100 aircraft are produced per month. This speed is enough to consume and reserve.
The intentional slowdown of production is not for another reason, because the production capacity of Yumen Oilfield has not yet formed such a large number of oil-consuming weapons. Several exploration drilling has been established in the Dongying area of Shandong, which has just been under the control of the capital. The corresponding petroleum refining plant equipment has also been brought to the local area for assembly. Large airports and Longkou Naval Base in the construction area of Laiyang will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of defense.
With the expansion of the occupied land, many large-scale heavy industrial zone plans have been carried out. These key construction projects will maximize the oil production and defense work in future operations.
Although some compromise has been reached with Japan, this does not mean that the evil wolf of Japan will give up on China's vast land and the rich resources contained therein. If you want peace, you must prepare for war!
What's more, in Dongying, there are important strategic resources such as oil.
The construction of the navy has always been a weak place that the leadership of Hualian has been concerned about and focused on. Although one hundred submarines have been equipped with, and have also received special new equipment modifications, these submarines can only achieve defense and attack in China's offshore waters and lack the strength of ocean attacks.
However, with the launch of the groundwater and auxiliary ships of three light aircraft carriers built on their own, the fleet has formed initial combat power after more than a year of emergency running-in training. However, this combat power still seems so immature in the face of the old naval power.
However, what makes people feel a little relieved is that these two fleets are very well equipped. Although the fleet is small in size, the fleet has strong firepower and high degree of automation, and has strong air defense firepower. Although the largest cruiser in artillery battles has a caliber of only 203 mm.
Anyway, the Hualian Navy did not intend to play cannon battles with the great powers from the beginning. In naval battles, it is now time for aircraft carriers to determine the fate of the fleet.
The design drawings of a light cruiser with a displacement of 5,500 tons have been completed. The main gun of this light cruiser was replaced with a double 125mm automatic gun on the bow. The space saved after reducing the huge turret is divided into two parts: the bow and stern tower, and the spherical radar antenna on the top of the forecastle is very obvious.
Several coordinate radar antennas are hung on the main mast in the shape of a straw hat; the stern building is a chimney, with a low mast behind it, and multiple anti-aircraft artillery are placed behind it. The most peculiar thing about this warship is that there is a 4-combined and strange huge launch cylinder on both sides of the forecastle. These launch cylinders are tilted up toward the head of the ship at an angle of 23 degrees, and after a live-fire inspection a year later, it will be accepted.
This thing can be announced to the citizens of Hualian: This is a freshly released light missile cruiser!
Unlike the old missile cruisers in the past, this brand new light missile cruiser was designed completely according to the requirements of future naval warfare.
Its full load displacement is 5,500 tons, its maximum speed is about 67 kilometers per hour, and its endurance is 12,500 kilometers. In order to meet the actual needs of future naval warfare, this light cruiser is equipped with two 4-mounted anti-ship missile body launch devices and three dual-mounted air defense missile launch devices.
The anti-submarine weapons are 2 12-bar anti-submarine rocket launchers and 2 3-bar torpedo launchers. The artillery stationed as two 76mm dual-mounted fully automatic flat-height dual-purpose guns and four 30mm tube fully automatic long-range guns.
It can be seen from this that the important function of missile cruiser artillery is to prevent air and not to engage in artillery battles between ships. Therefore, its gun caliber is greatly reduced compared to before.
Among the naval warship families of World War II, cruisers are large surface ships second only to battleships in terms of displacement, firepower, armor protection, etc. Cruisers have the ability to deal with multiple combat targets at the same time.
Historically, cruisers initially referred to warships that could operate, while destroyers in contrast require the help of other ships, such as supply ships. However, Zhong Yang knew that in fifty years, this distinction would inevitably disappear, and cruisers would be replaced by destroyers.
Therefore, the current Hualian Navy did not build cruisers in large quantities as main ships, but only produced appropriate quantities to assist the main fleet in maritime patrols. Hualian's cruisers generally have a displacement of 8,000 tons to 20,000 tons, and are equipped with missiles, artillery, torpedoes and other weapons.
Most cruisers do not exceed 15,000 tons, and because of the diversification of Hualian's aerial weapons, they are designed to carry helicopters, and their power plants mostly use steam turbines.
Various new warships are also being trial-produced. The biggest difference from old warships is that the technical department has upgraded the ship-based command systems and electronic systems of these new ships, allowing Hualian's navy to enter the era of information combat faster.
Since it is impossible to compete with the great powers in quantity, quality becomes the most critical weight on the winning and losing balance.
At the end of 1940, the severe north wind blew against Northeast China, with snowy weather and the cold climate making the earth look clean and white.
With Japan's withdrawal, the Hualian finally recovered the three provinces outside the pass that had fallen to the enemy since the September 18th Incident, but occupied the northern territory of China. Not only Japan, there was also a brutal polar bear.
At night, the snow on the edge of the Greater Khingan Mountains was covered with thick snow, and on this snow, a man in a white camouflage was walking quietly among the forest.
"Captain. It's so cold in the northeast." While taking a nap while walking, a soldier leaned against an uncle and whispered.
"Click your clothes up, don't try to be cool. Do you remember the instructions in the Northeast combat manual issued some time ago? When you put on your clothes on such a cold day, there are ice slags in your clothes." A soldier next to him immediately stopped his actions.
"Although we are all soldiers from the south, we are all elite soldiers in the army. Otherwise, we would not have been able to join the special forces of the army and the local area. The old seniors of the Volunteer Army had been fighting on this land for a long time, and many valuable operations were summarized by them. Don't forget." The captain advised his soldiers after reconnaissing the surrounding areas with a helmet-style shimmer night vision and infrared detector dual-use instruments.
These people belong to the special forces of the Northern Army. Due to the expansion of organization, several army troops have formed their own special forces. The command power is directly under the Army Command.
Although these troops are not as equipped as special forces of the old predecessors, they are also elites in the group army. The commander of the Northern Army also used his own means to apply for some high-tech equipment that belongs to the Shadow Force to be distributed to the place to arm these soldiers.
Like this helmet-style dual-use instrument, although it cannot be used to have one for each squad or squad leader of the special forces, it can improve its combat reconnaissance capabilities.
After taking a break, the soldiers continued to infiltrate forward. Although some of these soldiers were elite soldiers eliminated by the special forces, they were still a certain gap from soldiers like Zhou Zhihao and Mo Xiong. However, they were more powerful soldiers selected from the front-line combat troops.
Good physical strength, accurate marksmanship, excellent skills and tactics, and is also sufficient for front-line combat troops
The team leader walked in front suddenly stood up. Seeing the warning signal, the soldiers behind him stopped and immediately squatted down to guard the surroundings.
"A outpost was found in front! After observing, I found that behind it was a semi-hidden oil supply station. Two kilometers away from the supply station was a small village. About a regiment of troops were stationed inside. Did the oil supply station explode or attack the old men in the village?" The captain returned and reported to the captain.
"Due to weather reasons, the Air Force is unable to provide air support and reconnaissance. Our mission is to infiltrate the enemy's backbone. We will judge important targets to fight by ourselves, disrupt the deployment of the Soviet army and delay the pace of the Soviet army. Now there are still six hours before tomorrow's general attack. How many troops are there in the fuel station?"
"Not many, just a platoon of people are defending. I think the Russians would never have thought that we could penetrate here, so the alert power is very weak."
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Soviet Union annexed a large amount of territory in northern China. Cixi, the old witch of Jiannu, sent the land of the Han people, was really not polite at all.
Just for this matter, the officers and soldiers in the army were all angry. Although they had just finished a tough battle with Japan, after half a year of rest, the major legions have recovered their combat capabilities and are ready to fight against the Soviet Union in the north.
Just now, the Soviet Union is busy carrying out a major purge and has no time to pay attention to the military operations of the China League.
"Send three teams to infiltrate first, try not to alarm the enemy. The remaining people went to the surrounding villages to prepare. We came over more than 100 people. Although this oil station is also very helpful to our troops. It is naturally the best to be able to take it down. As for the Russians in that regiment, hang it first and then fight!"
After a few slight gunshots, with the help of the night and the protective color of the camouflage clothes on his body, the soldiers in charge of infiltration quickly approached the periphery of the oil warehouse. However, they did not expect that due to the fire ban, the oil warehouse was changed for a shorter time and more frequently in cold weather.
Two Russian soldiers who came out to change shifts vaguely saw a white shadow shaking not far away. After calling the command, they were killed by a silencer gun. However, the strong stopping of the bullet caused the soldiers to be knocked down the empty oil barrel behind them, and a huge sound sounded.
"Strong attack!" Seeing that the quietly attack failed, the captain immediately ordered a strong attack.
A soldier kicked open the gate of the barracks with his feet. He swept wildly at the officers and soldiers who were panicking in the room for guns. The 9mm submachine gun made only the sound of the corpse falling to the ground.
A bloody hand was slowly reaching towards the red button on the wall. Unfortunately, when my finger was still a few centimeters away from the button, after a few puffs of the unique sound of the silencer, the hand finally failed to touch the button. It was just left a bloody handprint on the wall under the unwilling despair of the owner.
"These Rakshasa ghosts are really tenacious." The pistol was turned off and put back into the holster. The special soldier who killed him just looked at the bodies in various postures in the room and left the room.
The oil station was successfully taken down, and then the corresponding inspection was also carried out in the dark.
"Translator, here are a few documents!" In the commander's office, a soldier said to the soldier who wanted to unbutton his clothes just now.
"There are all the list of troops that will come to replenish fuel in the near future. Look at the records on it. More than 30 light tanks and some trucks will come to refuel tomorrow night." After reading the documents written in Russian, the soldier reported the contents of the documents to the captain not far away.
"Captain, this oil station seems not that simple. We found more than 100 local people behind. They requisitioned these people to build a semi-buried oil warehouse for them. The Russians really regarded this place as their territory." Another soldier approached the room and reported the latest situation they were searching behind.
"Have the oil warehouse been repaired?" The captain jumped and immediately interrogated the soldier.
"Some of the oil has been repaired, and a lot of oil has been poured into the oil trough. No wonder the oil barrels outside are basically empty."
“How much oil is there?”
"It is estimated that diesel is more than 500 tons, gasoline is more than 800 tons, and there are several tons of various lubricating oil and other oil materials. However, there are still many empty oil troughs placed outside. It is estimated that the construction scale here is a 5,000-ton oil warehouse." The soldiers reported the amount they counted.
"Communication officer, report to the command center, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. It's a pity to explode like this." The captain gave the latest mission.
In the early morning, when the dawn light whitened the earth through the thick clouds, with the roar of tanks and the roar of various engines, the battle against the Soviet army that invaded the Daxinganling area in Heilongjiang, China. The Soviet soldiers were in horror to see many Chinese teams rushing towards them.
"Call for artillery reinforcements and kill these yellow-skinned monkeys!!" On the front line, a Soviet lieutenant colonel observed the battlefield situation ahead through the telescope. Through the telescope, he could clearly see many Chinese soldiers rushing towards their own defensive positions.
Soon, the fire support from the lieutenant colonel called to arrive.
The shells brought out a large number of snow columns in front of the Chinese soldiers, causing huge noises and smoke. But unfortunately, the Chinese soldiers seemed to have suffered little loss. Because before entering the range of the artillery, the Chinese team suddenly turned around and ran backwards. The shells hit the Chinese soldiers.
"These yellow-skinned Chinese monkeys are not only stupid but also cowardly and timid as my father said." Looking at the run away from the Central Team, the Lieutenant Colonel sneered and the contemptuous expression in his eyes was about to emerge.
"Order artillery and extend the shooting, so that these stupid Chinese monkeys can know the power of our Soviet Red Army." The lieutenant colonel issued the latest order to the correspondent around him.
Soviet artillery began to shoot at a distance, but at this time, behind the Chinese team, there were several square plates made of metal that were combined into an arc and stood on an off-road truck with a load of ten tons.
The flat side was facing the Soviet positions, and beside it, several trucks with the same body but vans were parked next to them.
"After the calculation, the Soviet artillery position was in the coordinate area of 76, and the precise position of the six artillery has been analyzed, with an estimated error of 130 meters." In the carriage, a professional sergeant reported the target coordinates to the correspondent around him. He is the calculator of the artillery detection radar.
Soon, the correspondent informed the coordinates he had reconnaissed to the artillery that had been waiting for a long time. Soon, a 155mm howitzer adjusted the direction of his muzzle. Under the command of the commander, one shell was roaring and roaring out of the chamber and flew towards the Soviet artillery position.
The Soviet artillery officer quickly felt that something was wrong. The Chinese artillery opposite were not only powerful but also very accurate. Many hidden artillery were instantly destroyed.
As a last resort, the commander of the Soviet artillery regiment immediately ordered the transfer of the artillery position, because the accuracy of the artillery artillery of the China ** team was judged by the accuracy of the artillery artillery, the position of his artillery deployment was already controlled by the China ** team.
After risking his life and death to move to the new artillery position, before firing a few shells, the commander of the artillery regiment discovered again that the artillery positions he risked his life to lead the troops to transfer were once again accurately destroyed one by one.
Looking at the last remaining artillery, the artillery battlefield called the command center for help, and asked the Soviet ground soldiers to attack the nearby Laoya Mountain because he suspected that there was an artillery reconnaissance unit of the Central Team.
