Chapter 292: Maritime Outpost Battle
PS: As for the explanation of the progress of the plot, under the writing of the great author Jun and the strong motivation of the book friends, this book is about to enter the plot of the naval battle and the plot of the Northern Expedition. After the end of the battle for reunification, it is the rhythm of beating the whole world, and the author Jun is indeed ambitious! The most important thing is to write about aircraft carriers hanging battleships, air force thousand machine duels, land tank bombardment, that can only appear in the battle with top powers such as Britain and the United States, think about BF109, Mustang hanging biplanes feel cool! ——
The riot in Yangon has nothing to do with Ma Kui, he can leisurely enjoy the death and fire all over the city, and from time to time he hehehe
The riots in Yangon quickly spread to the British and other white people, and they lived in the upper class communities became the favorite targets of the rioters' favorite harassment, and Kitchener in the barracks could even hear the cries of the white people in the community, they could not continue like this, and they had to mobilize the troops who were blockaded outside to return to the city to quell the rebellion!
"Leave, here's our chance!" The sea snakes, who were the biggest contributors to the Yangon bombing, hid in the grass on the shore, and after seeing the patrol boats on the water leaving one after another, they waited for 30 minutes without finding the enemy continuing to appear.
"I said, we are the elite of the army, the strongest of the strongest, how can we have a bit of a master temperament, this is really not good!" A fisherman's boat was found along the river, and Chen Chi, who was basically safe, continued to complain to his teammates.
"The master of fart, who can bend and stretch is the real master, Xiang Yuniu is not a cow, and in the end he was not destroyed by Liu Bang!" From the departure of the enemy, to the finding of the boat, to the imminent crossing of the river to escape the pursuit of the British army, Shirahoshi was reinvigorating. His smile never left.
"There are still hundreds of kilometers of tropical jungle waiting for us to cross, now I'm happy!" Chen Chi's words made the atmosphere return to gloomy, and Bai Xing was so angry that he wanted to kick the team's think tank into the water, but he was afraid that he would have to use his own brains in the future.
On the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province, the port of Zhanjiang, which is surrounded by land and sea blockades, is bustling with workers' uniforms and naval uniforms. All the main warships of the current Pacific Fleet of China are moored on the wharf, especially the two Wuyue-class battleships "Taishan" and "Huashan", which stand on the pier like small islands. In addition, countless sailors on various cruisers, destroyers, and supply ships are carrying supplies, cleaning decks, and inspecting equipment, and fuel carriers and ammunition carriers on the sea are carefully passing through underwater isolation zones and minefields under the guidance of guide ships.
Twenty-five large-caliber shore guns near the port, a squadron of combat/reconnaissance aircraft and a squadron of bombers on the military airfield, and a mechanized infantry brigade on the land periphery of the port made Zhanjiang Port impregnable.
The bar in the port's living quarters was bustling with people, the large space was so large that it could accommodate hundreds of people without looking crowded, and the sailors on duty carried pallets back and forth, and the middle and lower rank officers and sailors mingled. Under the stimulation of alcohol, they call each other brothers. Several sailors sang the song of the navy, which attracted everyone's loud echo, and the chaotic sound of the sailors' sweat and tobacco made several female medical guards who came to relax and attract attention frown.
All navies have traditions, and this is true of the Western navies that have been inherited for a hundred years, and the same is true of the young Chinese navy. However, the tradition of the bar was learned from the West, and I don't know how much the officers and men of the navy mastered those excellent traditions, but they quickly mastered the pleasure of having fun in the bar. If only Lu Liang, an ultra-nationalist, knew that his naval officers and men were so badly westernized. Maybe it will be angry with Lu Hai.
In a corner of the bar, several officers and soldiers were sitting loosely on the sofa. Enjoy this last leisure time with a glass in hand, as the first batch of naval officers and sailors to attack, they will leave Zhanjiang Port tomorrow morning and enter the South China Sea to carry out a pre-war clean-up mission.
"Lieutenant Shen Lan, has your promotion order come down?" Second Lieutenant Sun Lu, the gunner of the destroyer Hangzhou, asked, the feminine name that made him ridiculed by his comrades on the ship. Named "Lulu", but the first mate Lieutenant Navy never made fun of him, and the two were classmates, so the two became good friends.
Shen Lan smiled and shook his head, as the first graduate of Huifeng Naval Academy. His promotion speed is the fastest among his classmates, and according to the training, assessment, and actual combat evaluation during this time, he is very likely to become the first destroyer captain in the first phase of SITC. Although he has not yet received definite news, as long as he has the recommendation of the captain of the ship, Captain Lu Bei, it will not be a problem for him to become the captain himself, and he is very confident in this.
Second Lieutenant Ma Dong, the chief navigator, raised his glass: "Sooner or later, congratulations to you first, Shen Lan, you are the pride of our first issue!" Everyone raised their glasses together and drank the drink in the glass.
"I really want to drink a few glasses of liquor, these drinks are obviously for female soldiers!" Radar Commander Wang Bin complained that their warship will set sail tomorrow, and according to the regulations, they are not allowed to drink alcohol, and now they are coming to the bar to relax and drink some drinks to feel the atmosphere of the bar, and soon they will return to the destroyer to be busy with the preparations before setting sail.
"Big brother, anyone can drink, but you can't, our reconnaissance and sweeping operations also point to you to discover the enemy's whereabouts, if you are drunk, do you want us to use the naked eye to reconnoiter like those low-level warships? Our lookouts don't eat food every day! Shen Lan was in a good mood and teased. Having graduated from a regular military academy and participated in naval battles against Japan, these officers knew the importance of radar on battleships. Detection of the enemy means that the enemy fires first, which means that the initiative is taken in naval warfare, and it is very difficult to obtain information in naval warfare, and radar plays a role that cannot be played by manpower. In fact, the sweeping operation that will begin tomorrow is also aimed at gaining information superiority on the battlefield and ensuring the transparency of the battlefield before the expeditionary fleet enters the South China Sea, and the naval battle will be half won.
"That is, as long as this second lieutenant plays normally, the defeat of the expeditionary fleet is inevitable, and the technical superiority and equipment superiority are enough to offset the naval heritage of hundreds of British people, so that they can taste the taste of asymmetrical combat!" Second Lieutenant Wang Bin pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and a rare fierce look erupted on his delicate face.
"Lieutenant Shen Lan, Captain Lu Bei, please come over." While chatting, a herald pushed the door in, searched the door, and walked straight to Shen Lan and said.
Everyone smiled, this is about to announce the promotion order, with a little jealousy in envy, Lieutenant Shen Lan nodded to his companions, picked up his military hat and tucked it under his armpit, tidied up his clothes, and then walked out of the bar with the herald.
The navy is more hierarchical than the army, and the officers' club is a meeting place for senior officers, distinguishing them from those who are middle and lower-ranking officers and sailors. In fact, more importantly, those high-ranking officers are basically a group of genetic people, and they can avoid leaking secrets when they stay together to negotiate.
"Report, the first officer of the destroyer Hangzhou, Second Lieutenant Deep Blue, reports for duty." Shen Lan stood straight behind a group of senior officers, I heard that Captain Lu Bei had a deep relationship, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, among the officers at the table there are not only cruiser captains, detachment commanders, battleship captains, and even naval commander Vice Admiral Lu Hai is also among them. Seeing that Captain Lu Bei and the officers were talking and laughing without embarrassment, it proved that the rumors were true.
Three minutes later, Shen Lan walked out of the officers' club in disappointment, his promotion was rejected, to be precise, Captain Lu Bei did not report his promotion at all.
Why, he meets any of his conditions, why does Lu Bei not agree to his promotion, his relationship is so deep, he can climb up all the time, why block his promotion path and can't get along with himself!
Jealousy, yes, is jealousy, Lu Bei must be jealous of his talent. Shen Lan, whose brain was muddy, returned to Hangzhou in a dejected spirit, although he was extremely disappointed, he still did not forget his duty, and Lu Bei ordered himself to organize the final preparations before the warship set sail to ensure that the supplies were complete and the warship was in good condition.
Professional cultivation finally triumphed over personal emotions, and Shen Lan cheered up to carry out the order. At about eleven o'clock that night, the preparations for the Hangzhou were completed, Shen Lan returned to the dormitory, ignored the inquiries of his companions, lay on the bed with his head covered, and set sail at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and then the battle, and now is not the time to indulge in disappointment.
Before falling asleep, Shen Lan heard the whispers of his companions, as if it was related to him, he was so tired that Shen Lan fell into a deep sleep without hearing clearly.
"It seems that Shen Lan's promotion was not successful, it's a pity, he became the captain of the ship, and we also have a light on our faces, even if it is to set up a target for us to catch up, why did he fail?"
"There must be the above considerations, I guess it's Captain Lu Bei's reason, I hope Shen Lan can forget this trouble, after all, we are about to enter the battle state, and this battle is also a very critical part of the personal evaluation, maybe Shen Lan will be promoted after the battle."
Leaving the military academy and entering the melting pot of society, Shen Lan's classmates still did not throw away the simplicity of the year, it can be said that Shen Lan is lucky, or rather, the Chinese Navy is still in rapid expansion, there are many opportunities, the most lacking is talent, there is no need for vicious competition.
