readx; "Moses Moses, I am the captain of the aircraft carrier Hori-sho: Horie Rokuro Osaku (who served as the captain of the aircraft carrier Hoisho on November 14, 1931, and who participated in the attack on Shanghai twice in the 128 period), Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I must also report to His Excellency Admiral Fushimi Miyahiro King (temporarily acting as Minister of the Navy). Pen & fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Horie Rokuro Osa is not very cold to Itagaki Seishiro, who is higher than his own rank but is not old, and the current commander of the Empire of Japan's Intervention Army in China, the grievances between the Navy and the Army have been a long time, and it is impossible for Itagaki Seishiro, who is only a major general, to command the rank of Osa himself, and there is no door for an army manure to command the Navy!

"Eight Tooth Road!! Now I'm the Commander-in-Chief!! I don't know when I will go after listening to your report, so I will now order you: 'Immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the enemy ground forces in this landing area!!' 'Hear without you salted fish!!' Itagaki Seishiro directly interrupted Horie Rokuro and Da Zorori at the same time, and roared and forcefully assigned Osaku an errand that could not be refused.

"Seishiro Itagaki, you big-headed red deer!!" Faced with the almost roaring roar of Seishiro Itagaki, who used his rank to suppress people, Horie Rokuro Osa was stunned by the roar, and did not react until he hung up the sea communication phone on the other side, and Horie Rokuro Osa stared at the flagship where Itagaki Seishiro was located with a gloomy face.

"Let the reconnaissance team of the first aviation team send two or three reconnaissance planes and tell them not to be too fast and slowly find the enemy's heavy artillery placement point on the ground." In my heart, just now because everyone (the navy for the generals of the army generally secretly take some nicknames that match their image) the big-headed doll nickname that was privately taken by the army Seishiro, the army major general staff officer used the current position to scold himself and felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare not give this order, so in order to take a small revenge on the big-headed doll, he instructed the people below to delay the time appropriately.

"However, the 3rd Division, which has landed on the beach, is now in urgent need of naval artillery fire support...... "A shipboard combat staff officer of the USS Fengxiang reminded.

"We haven't found the enemy's heavy firepower now, so that the army guys can endure it a little longer." The other naval officer could clearly see the captain's expression just now, and he knew that the captain was very unhappy in his heart now, so he said this out of flattery to the officer.

"However, in this case, it is difficult for the army to explain, I see if it is not sending reconnaissance planes to send fighters with strong endurance at the same time." The staff officer was stunned and looked at the big phone call that the naval officer next to him was talking up and down, and because he was worried that there would be very major friction and even resentment between the sea and land because of this matter in the future, the staff officer kindly reminded.

"No need, I've made up my mind." Horie Rokuro Osaku frowned for a moment, and then immediately vetoed the staff officer's opinion, he did not think that the precious fighters of the Imperial Navy were wasted for those cheap cannon fodder on the beach, and he did not want the Navy's excellent naval personnel to die here.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier Fengxiang.

"Nani? Send reconnaissance planes out now? "Iwaki Tao Shaozuo, who temporarily serves as the captain of the first aviation brigade, is very different, and now he actually wants to send a reconnaissance plane, didn't he send a few water reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance earlier, why is it at this time......

"Yes, Your Excellency Iwaki Shosa." Captain Kusamoto, the coordinator in charge of coordinating with the air team, nodded, and gave Iwaki a positive answer.

"I'm afraid, you still have something to say, and your Excellency Captain has any orders to listen to." Miyamoto Iwasaki, who was also a junior next to him as his deputy, squinted his eyes at the coordinator.

"Hay, that's the ......" I know that dealing with the smart man Miyamoto Iwasaki is a very troublesome thing, even so, the coordinator is still 152 The captain's orders and hidden meanings are directly explained to the two people in front of him, as for what will happen in the future, it is not his turn to worry about the captain, as the saying goes, doesn't it mean that the sky is falling, isn't there a tall man to top, so the captain is not worried about this matter, and he will do things honestly.

A few minutes later, three old biplane two-seat reconnaissance planes took off from the straight deck of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier and rushed to their destination at a speed of less than 300 kilometers per hour.

Looking at the reconnaissance plane that had flown away in the sky, Iwaki Shaoza was in a somewhat complicated mood and had some indescribable taste, and Miyamoto Shaosa, who was with him, glanced meaningfully at the naval personnel who were busy running around on the deck.

Take the aircraft carrier Fengxiang under his feet, for example.

The specific start time of the ship was December 16, 1919 (Taisho 8) at the Asano Shipyard in Japan.

On November 13, 1921 (Taisho 10), the Fengxiang was launched.

It was towed to the Yokosuka Naval Yard for instrument installation, and was completed on December 27, 1922 (Taisho 11).

On February 22, 1923 (Taisho 12), the "Fengxiang" conducted a test of carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing in Tokyo Bay. The first test flight was carried out by British Navy captain pilot Jordan in a Type 10 fighter.

On March 5, Captain Shunichi Kira (Japanese: きらしゅんいち) completed the first successful landing on the deck of the Hosho piloted by a Japanese. Captain Kira was honored by the Minister of the Navy, Yuzaburo Kato. Lieutenant Toshinichi Kira piloted the Type 10 fighter and the re-test was also successful, and Marshal Heihachiro Togo personally inspected the landing test. The initial tests provided data for the next modification of the "Fengxiang" and also helped in the construction of aircraft carriers in the future.

Modification work began in 1924. In 1925 (Taisho 14), it was incorporated into the combined fleet.

In 1928, the aircraft carrier "Fengxiang" and the aircraft carrier "Akagi" were incorporated into the First Air Force of the Combined Fleet.

On the night of January 28, 1932, the aircraft carriers "Hosho" and "Kaga" sailed to Chinese waters to support the Imperial Japanese Army in land operations with carrier-based aircraft.

In February, another sortie was launched to attack China's Hangzhou Air Base.

On 6 February, its carrier-based Type 1-3 carrier-based attack plane shot down a Chinese plane, marking the first time that a Japanese navy carrier-based aircraft shot down a plane.

The problem is that this silver-like pewter gun-headed guy (combat, reserve) 15 + 11 a total of 26 fighters is far from meeting the requirements of the Navy and the Navy, the Fengxiang is the world's first warship built specifically as an aircraft carrier, although the construction started later than the British and American aircraft carriers, but the launch was a few months earlier, so the crown of the world's first real aircraft carrier was brought on its head (in order to catch up with the front of Britain and the United States and other major powers, the hasty completion of the construction left some hidden dangers and major defects).

In the twenties, he gained experience in tactical and deck flight training for aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy. It broke the "flat prototype" structure of the first generation of aircraft carriers, and a small island bridge was set on the starboard side of the flight deck. The three chimneys can be tilted outwards so as not to affect aircraft take-off and landing operations. However, after testing, the Japanese Navy found that the island structure of the "Hosho" was not very suitable. Due to the ship's narrow flight deck, the island structure is very obstructive during take-off and landing. In order to ensure the safe take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, the Japanese Navy demolished the island-style building in 1924. As a result, the world's first "thoroughbred aircraft carrier" was restored to a typical "flat prototype" aircraft carrier, which is a step backwards in terms of development.

Judging by the data: it has a standard displacement of 7,470 tons and a maximum full load displacement of 10,600 tons; The total length is 168 meters, the total width is 18 meters (not afraid that the plane will be accidentally thrown off the deck and fall to the sea surface when the ship turns), the power slogan is four heavy oil boilers of the ship's headquarters, four boilers of oil-coal mixed fire, two steam turbines, and two-shaft propulsion; The power is 30,000 knots (the power is a bit weak, not much faster than the European and American aircraft carriers in the same period), the maximum speed is 25 knots (this speed is a bit worrying when running), and the cruising distance is 8000 knots (15 knots, obviously short legs), which is no different from a 10,000-ton tanker. Its crew of 550 people (there are so few people, of which the pilots do not even account for half of them) are too scarce, and the carrier-based aircraft (combat, reserve) 15+11; Armament: 4 x 3-year 14 cm single-mounted guns, 2 x 40x 3-year anti-aircraft guns. Clear-eyed people can see from this data that the carrier-based aircraft is too small, and it is not difficult to bully a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country like China that does not have aircraft carriers, but once it encounters an aircraft carrier with better performance than the European and American powers, it can only be the opening dish in people's mouths.
