Chapter 1452: Mountain-class aircraft carrier

The Chinese aircraft carrier stationed in the Philippines, as China's latest generation of main battle aircraft carrier, can be sure that in the next few years, will become the mainstay of the Chinese fleet, the first batch of six ships to start construction is a beginning, after careful consideration, this new type of aircraft carrier was named the mountain class, named after the major famous mountains in China, which represents the historical tradition, but also symbolizes the same as the mountain, guarding China's security.

At present, the first batch of 6 ships were named, Huangshan, Taishan, Hengshan, Huashan, Songshan and Hengshan, respectively, Wuyue Famous Mountain and Huangshan, after that, the second batch of 8 ships will be named after other famous mountains, in Chinese history, there are countless famous mountains, used to name this classic aircraft carrier, is enough, of course, if it is really like the United States during World War II, dozens of positive voyages, hundreds of escorts, the number of famous mountains is probably not enough.

The appearance of the mountain class, in the first time, became the core warship of China's northern and southern fleets, the previous 45 aircraft aircraft carrier, already has the strength of overwhelming battleships, except in a few special places, as long as the other enters the aircraft carrier's combat procedures, several times the battleships are not opponents, at most can only rely on strong air defense resistance.

45 is actually a critical point, because there must be 20 fighters to escort the escort, plus 5 reconnaissance planes, only 20 can really appear as bombers, China has increased the capacity of bombers as much as possible, but an aircraft carrier can deal with 2 battleships at most, and if there are more, it may suffer heavy losses, and it will only be a heavy loss.

Of course, this is only for China's battleships, after the modification of the battleship, the anti-aircraft firepower is extremely powerful, is the strongest air defense in the world, all over the body, there are no dead ends of the battleship, to break through the firepower network, at least 10 horizontal bombers are needed for non-stop bombing.

Now the number of carrier-based aircraft has increased to 82, it seems, it is only less than half of the fighters, but the combat effectiveness has more than doubled, at least 57 bombers, and even under the limit of transformation, you can take off and land medium bombers, don't look at medium and light, just a grade higher, but this medium bomb load is at least twice as much as the light one, the most important thing for the aircraft carrier is always the performance of the carrier-based aircraft above, not the aircraft carrier itself, unlike the battleship, from the moment it is built, The power of the battleship is fixed, but the aircraft carrier is different, as long as the performance of the aircraft continues to improve, and even in the future, when the heavy bomber can be mounted on the aircraft carrier after weight reduction or the successful development of the catapult, the power of the aircraft carrier will be further expanded.

Conservative estimates, mountain-class aircraft carriers, a minimum of 4 capital ships, this is still fantasy-class, from the moment he was born, there is no longer any debate about the competition for the main ships of the navy, an aircraft carrier, in terms of cost, slightly lower than the battleship, if you add the aircraft, much higher than the battleship, but in the case of the use of almost the same personnel, the air force pilots are not counted, because China has clubs all over the place, so that the air force pilots are very rich, at least more than the navy, which is for China, It can quickly form combat effectiveness, and the battle group of 12 aircraft carriers is almost as difficult as the battle group of 12 battleships, but the power of aircraft carriers is much greater than that of battleships.

The most important thing is that the aircraft carrier can still be sustained, as long as the necessary modifications are carried out, and the steam catapult envisioned by Yang Yuanzhao, even if it is an old aircraft carrier, it can also play a considerable role, it will not be like a battleship, as long as it is technologically advanced and improved, it must be upgraded, which avoids the huge pressure brought by the arms race, as long as the aircraft carrier is not sunk, it will continue to play a role in the days when it has been in service, which is much stronger than the battleship, the two are combined, The concept of the core of the aircraft carrier is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although it is said that among the high-level leaders, the concept of aircraft carriers as the core has been established, and in training and all aspects, they are inclined to aircraft carriers, but for the officers and men of aircraft carriers, in addition to suppression, it is still suppression, and China does not allow aircraft carriers to be exposed for the time being, so all sea trials and training are under secrecy, and the possibility of going abroad to fight is very small.

This point, under the education of instructors and trainers, was okay before, everyone was concentrating on training, practicing hard to kill the enemy, and striving to be able to use it in the war, but when Cheng Biguang led the fantasy level and achieved amazing results, this kind of impatient heart became more active.

Especially under the premise that Cheng Biguang has achieved great results in North America, even more so, in China, although the aircraft carrier is secret, but in the past time, a total of 12 aircraft carrier exercises have been carried out, and the aircraft carrier has completed the task excellently, in the sea attack, ground attack, and even island attack and defense, the aircraft carrier has won with a huge advantage, according to this Cheng Biguang's action to deduce, if it is not 4 fantasy-class, but mountain-class aircraft carriers, it will do more beautifully, on the one hand, The aircraft carrier can launch an attack 200 kilometers away, which may not be comparable to the battleship in terms of the continuity of the attack, but in terms of unit intensity and attack intensity, it is much higher than that of the battleship, after all, an artillery shell, several tons of weight, only a few hundred kilograms of the head position play a role, which also depends on whether it is an armor-piercing bomb or a high-explosive bomb, but for fighters, all are aerial bombs, and aerial bombs are much higher than naval artillery shells in the utilization rate of ammunition, which is also a huge advantage of aerial bombs.

On the side of the headquarters, he has not spit out, Yang Yuanzhao is still a little worried, he wants to expose the aircraft carrier to a more suitable occasion, at least, it is necessary to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, so the aircraft carrier has not been dispatched, and it is best to destroy enough capital ships of the other party to a certain extent, so that it is possible to send the aircraft carrier.

This time, the Pacific War, there are too many uncertainties, in some occasions, even if the aircraft carrier is invested, it is not easy to be exposed, the sea is different from the land, once the island is encircled, or even cut off the cable telegraph network, the island is like a cage blind, between each island, at least hundreds of nautical miles, or even thousands of nautical miles, this distance, with the current radio, can not transmit useful knowledge at all, and the aircraft carrier can be put into it, so as to reduce the pressure of attacking, reduce casualties, and let the aircraft carrier force feel the actual combat, It's a good idea to kill three birds with one stone.

The Pacific War is a matter of great importance, and under the circumstance that the United States does not realize the tremendous role of aircraft, as long as China takes Guam, Hawaii, and a few other islands suitable for large-scale deployment of aircraft, the entire southwest Pacific Ocean, which is densely covered with islands, will become China's biggest barrier.

Wang Guangya, is a lieutenant general officer, he is only 29 years old this year, he has joined the sequence of the Northwest Army for 7 years, from the age of 22 to now, 7 years, almost finished the road that others have taken a lifetime to complete, yes the commander of the aircraft carrier, the captain of the aircraft carrier fleet, he is the same as the acting commander of the navy, he was born in the Air Force, but later joined the aircraft carrier, because of the prominent role of the aircraft carrier carrier, in the Chinese Navy, the captain of the aircraft carrier is generally specified, You must have the qualifications of a pilot, and as for the assistance in naval warfare, there will be a deputy captain who is proficient in naval warfare.

After all, the age of conscription will be expanded to 40 years old, but the navy and the air force must be trained for a long time, at least 3 years, and even next, the long-term training is needed, which is not a little bit of energy, finally, successful, only young people have the value of training, more than 25 years old, unless they are talented, they cannot join the navy and air force.

He was one of the best pilots in China's early days, serving as an air force test pilot for at least one and a half years, and when he entered the navy, he has always been the first fighter group of the aircraft carrier, from the squadron leader to the captain, the flight regiment commander, the division commander, and then directly transferred to the aircraft carrier formation, and then started from the air force command, and successively became the captain of the aircraft carrier fleet.

7 years, step by step, to now, 6 aircraft carriers of the temporary mission, 6 aircraft carriers are commanded by him, the aircraft carrier is not a simple, not only the aircraft carrier itself, an aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier battle group, now it is obvious that the battleship will undertake the main attack mission, once things change, it will be from the aircraft carrier top, in this case, originally belonging to the aircraft carrier battle group, close to the aircraft carrier's battleship escort, was drawn out, there are some other auxiliary ships, At present, there are only 2 heavy cruisers, 4 escort cruisers, and 6 destroyers, which is about half less, but the six aircraft carriers also represent a huge formation of more than 60 ships, which is a huge naval task force with tens of thousands of people.

Although he arrived in the Philippines and entered the sequence, Wang Guangya had no bottom in his heart, whether he could go on or not, it depended on the process of the war, Wang Guangya was more or less depressed in his heart, as a senior admiral, he always hoped that everything would go well, and he could quickly bring the islands in the Pacific Ocean, especially Guam and Hawaii, into the scope of their jurisdiction, but as an aircraft carrier officer, he hoped even more that he could let the aircraft carrier enter the battlefield, raise troops for a thousand days, and use the aircraft carrier for a while. It's not a decoration, he needs to apply him on the battlefield, not hide behind, although as an officer in the navy, he doesn't want the Chinese fleet to fail, but as the commander of the aircraft carrier, he is faintly a little moved, if it fails, it's not impossible, maybe the first appearance of the aircraft carrier will be this time.
