Chapter 1300 The Yellow River Shipyard
There were no imaginary ships in the military port, only some sporadic ships were moored, and none of the aircraft carriers were seen.
Everyone knew that Jiang Haoran was pragmatic, and even if they knew that Jiang Haoran was coming, the troops did not carry out any review and welcome ceremonies, and all the fleets were cruising and practicing in the nearby waters at this time.
In order to quickly form combat effectiveness of a brand-new navy, it must pay more training than others and be more cruel than others, and not waste any training time, which makes Jiang Haoran particularly satisfied.
The safety of the military port lies in whether these shore-based firepower are strong and reasonably arranged.
However, Jiang Haoran now has ground-to-surface missiles, ground-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, and whaling fork anti-ship missiles, and it is necessary to arrange a shore-based firepower network, so it can be said that at this stage, no enemy ship or plane will want to get close to each other, and he can even say unashamedly that it is impossible for a military port in the whole world to have a stronger protective capability than Chittagong.
After going around the narrow coastline, Jiang Haoran inspected the shipyard again. The new shipyard is named "Yellow River Shipyard", which echoes the Yangtze River Shipyard in the United States.
After more than a year of hard work, most of the equipment and technical personnel of the Yangtze River Shipyard have entered the Yellow River Shipyard, and have already entered the production stage, various supporting facilities and supporting factories have also entered the production stage, and various raw materials have been continuously transported in.
The Yellow River Shipyard has more than 12,000 technicians and skilled workers, 250 tons of cranes, slipways and floating docks are the most advanced at present, and they are also relatively large, and it is expected that after all enter the production state, the annual production capacity will reach about 600,000 tons, although there is still a gap with the world-class shipyard, but there will not be too many that can surpass the Yellow River Shipyard at present.
Of course, these have to count the later improvements, more than a year is too short for a large-scale shipyard, even with sufficient equipment and personnel, the construction is a great project, far from a year or two of work. However, with these foundations, the real rise of the Chinese Navy is just around the corner.
Chen Shaokuan is worthy of the title of "China's first aircraft carrier", and has a persistent and crazy enthusiasm for building China's aircraft carrier, Jiang Haoran provided him with this good platform, he did not waste it at all, it is no exaggeration to say that except for him Chen Shaokuan, I am afraid that no one in China can build Chittagong into a first-class military port in just over a year, and even Jiang Haoran, a rather critical person, is full of praise.
After lunch, Jiang Haoran immediately convened a high-level military meeting, which was attended by people who were not above the commander of the fleet.
Sitting down in the conference room, Jiang Haoran first offered to learn about the battle of the Mi army on Sumatra.
Because the Chinese Navy has always cooperated closely with the Mi Navy, it is relatively familiar with the actions of the Mi Army, and at the same time, the commander-in-chief of this campaign is Admiral Nimitz, and it is not difficult to understand the whole process with the relationship between Nimitz and them.
Chen Shaokuan personally introduced that in the past six months, the United States Navy has made great achievements in the battle for the Pacific islands by using the island-hopping tactics proposed by Jiang Haoran, and once caused the island army to lose its armor.
It has conquered many islands such as the Solomon Islands, the New Guinea Islands, and East Timor, and two months ago, the front of the army has been directed at the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia).
Because this place is located between the two continents of Asia and Australia, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, it is the choke point to control the maritime traffic of the two continents and the two oceans.
Most of the natural resources needed by the island army in the war of aggression came from here, especially the oil they desperately needed here.
Therefore, the Dutch East Indies were of great significance to the island army, and there was no room for error, and after realizing the intentions of the Mi army, the island army increased its troops several times, intending to fight to the death with the Mi army.
Nimitz still decided to forcibly cut the island army through leapfrog tactics, destroying the most important material supply chain in the war, isolating the island troops stationed on the islands in a small area, striking at their arrogant momentum, disintegrating their psychological defenses, and avoiding a large number of casualties when capturing a large number of islands.
However, this time, the consistent tactic of jumping the island was not successful, and the island army had already taken precautions, built a complete group of fortifications on the major important islands, and then cooperated with the aircraft carrier fleet to successfully attack the Mi army several times, resulting in heavy casualties for the Mi army, and no progress was made in the campaign.
Under this premise, Nimitz decided to revise his battle plan and put the main direction of attack on the island of Sumatra, intending to capture Sumatra, British Borneo, Celebes and other islands successively, form an east-west flank with the eastern troops, and then turn back to attack the Dutch East Indies.
In the early morning of 10 days ago, Nimitz ordered more than 14,000 airborne troops of the 1st Marine Division of the United States to suddenly land in Palembang, and immediately the landing force made a beach-rushing landing on Bengkulu Beach behind Palembang.
It is hoped that through the airborne troops' surprise attack on the airfield, they will occupy their oil fields, destroy their army bases, and then open up Sumatra Island from east to west, and further occupy the whole island.
Who knows, although the airborne troops landed as scheduled, they immediately discovered that the situation was completely inconsistent with the situation reported by the reconnaissance planes, the planes in the airfield were all made of models and trees, and there was not a single plane at all, and the entire perimeter of the airfield was surrounded by ambushes of the island army into iron barrels.
All kinds of firepower points were everywhere, and after a strafing fire, the airborne troops of the Mi army suffered heavy casualties, and the air force failed to tear through the encirclement of the island army after several supports, and more than 10,000 soldiers were in a dilemma.
The beach-grabbing landing in Bengkulu was also blocked, the island army seemed to have calculated the landing site of the Mi army, the beach was full of mines, rows of bunker firepower points were densely woven like a net, and the first batch of landing troops of the Mi army almost all fell on the beach, but in view of the trapping of the airborne troops, Nimitz quickly organized the second and third groups, and attacked frantically with the support of intensive aviation fire and naval artillery fire, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
In fact, it is very dangerous to seize the beach under the premise that the enemy's navy and army aviation bases are strong, and no matter how many carrier-based aircraft there are, it is impossible to outnumber the army fighters; in particular, the take-off and landing of army aviation planes is far faster and more flexible than that of carrier-based aircraft, and there are no constraints in logistical support, so once the sneak attack is unsuccessful, we can only choose to give up.
The enemy is on guard, no matter what landing point you choose, the enemy can always be the first to know, and then mobilize strong troops to block, so the Mi army can only give up the plan to continue the landing, but in this way, more than 10,000 airborne troops will be extremely dangerous.
After listening to Chen Shaokuan's report, Jiang Haoran stood by the map and looked at it for a few minutes, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "There is no problem with Nimitz's tactics, the biggest failure is that the news leaked, so that the island army set up a bureau to trap him, and the location of the landing point he chose is too positive, and the most suitable place for landing must also be the most guarded place for the island army, so a complete fortification group and dark fort have already been set up, this guy rushed up, and it was strange that he could break through quickly." ”
