Chapter 1601 Something Wrong!

An Yi stayed in the navy for two days, boarded the ships of the Navy's First Fleet (adapted from the former French Navy's Mediterranean Fleet) and submarine formations, and ate and lived with the seamen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The battlecruiser "Honor", the new name of the former battlecruiser "Dunkirk", is now the flagship of the First Fleet of the South China Navy. The ship has a displacement of 26,500 tons, adopts the main gun layout of the British "Nelson" class, two quadruple 330 mm main guns, all of which are attached to the center line of the bow, the barrel length of the main gun is 50.44 times the diameter, the maximum elevation angle is 35 degrees, the maximum muzzle velocity is 850 m / s, the maximum range is 41,700 meters, and the armor-piercing projectile equipped with 19.3 kg of explosives can penetrate 300 mm armor at a distance of 28,000 meters. The main turret moves up to 6 degrees per second on the left and right, 5 degrees on the high and low, and carries a total of 800 rounds of 330 mm shells on the ship.

In terms of protection, the waterline armor belt of the "Honor" was tilted inward 21 degrees, and at a distance of 18,000 yards it was able to withstand the attack of 11.1-inch armor-piercing shells. "Honor" is extremely fast, reaching speeds of up to 32 knots. In terms of air defense, the turret of the "Honor" high-level dual-purpose gun is equipped with a rangefinder, which can deal with several targets at the same time, and the turret's rotating bomb feeding device has 33 anti-aircraft shells and 16 armor-piercing shells on the ready, which can ensure rapid fire for a long time.

Like the battlecruiser that served as the flagship of the Second Fleet and was renamed the Glory from Strasbourg, the Honor carried three L1 seaplanes adapted from French seaplanes to provide the fleet with reconnaissance and simple aerial combat missions.

The large cruiser "Yangtze Alligator", that is, the former large cruiser "Sukuv", is now the flagship of the submarine fleet. The submarine has a surface displacement of 3,304 tons, is armed with a twin 203 mm main gun, two seaplanes, and two triple torpedo tubes under the bow deck in addition to four torpedo tubes in the bow. The ship has a powerful ocean-going combat capability, and after the Anjia Navy has carried out electronic, radar, and sonar modifications, its combat effectiveness has been significantly strengthened, and it is fully capable of ocean-going blockade tasks.

On the morning of 20 July, when the First Fleet was conducting training in the Beibu Gulf sea area, Navy Commander Cheng Guang pointed to the surrounding ships that were changing formations on the bridge of the command module of the battlecruiser "Honor" and explained to An Yi the various formations.

At present, the training of the South China Navy, since aircraft carriers only exist on the design drawings for the time being, can only practice some simple tactics and formations, as well as artillery training. The formation of the navy is divided into columns, horizontal formations and echelons, and fleets and formations are divided into squads in most cases, and the squadrons are the basic combat units, and the formation or fleet adopts which formation depends on what kind of formation the squad adopts.

The column is the squadron and the entire fleet, which follow up in turn according to the course and speed of the lead ship, and maintain a direct distance of 400 yards between the ships, and the multi-line column is that each squad forms a single column, and the whole team takes the squad where the flagship or benchmark ship is located as the benchmark, and moves forward in a unified course and speed. If a squadron of three ships is formed, the horizontal distance between the squadrons shall be 1,200 yards; If the ships of each squad are not tied in sequence, but are staggered in the middle of the two ships in front of and behind the adjacent team, the whole team will be in a gap column. For example, the six ships are divided into two squadrons composed of three ships each, and they are arranged in a gap formation, and the oblique distance between the squadrons is maintained at 400 yards, and the direct distance between the ships in the squadron is maintained at 530 yards. If each squad takes the horn formation and follows it in order, the whole team is a horn column.

The horizontal team is that each squad and the whole team form a single horizontal team to carry out in a single horizontal team, the whole team is subject to the benchmark ship or flagship, with a unified course and speed go hand in hand, the horizontal distance between the ships is maintained at 400 yards, and the multi-stacked horizontal team is that each team is each into a horizontal team, the base team is in front, and the rest of the teams are overlapped in turn, and the rest of the teams are overlapped in turn, and they move forward with a unified course and speed. If a squadron of three ships is formed, the distance between the squadrons is 1,200 yards. If the ships of each squad do not overlap each other in turn, but are staggered in the middle of the two adjacent ships of the front squad to follow up, the whole team will be a horizontal formation. For example, if the six ships are divided into two squadrons composed of three ships each, they will be arranged as a horizontal squadron, and the oblique distance between the squadrons shall be maintained at 400 yards, and the horizontal distance between the ships in the squadron shall be maintained at 530 yards. If the squads advance side by side with each other's horns, the whole team will be in a horn row.

The situation of echelon formation is relatively complex, and there are more than ten kinds of related formations, among which the main ones are the left echelon, the right echelon, the double echelon, the herringbone echelon, the anti-herringbone echelon, the front triangle echelon and the diamond echelon, etc., all of which have their own applications in naval warfare.

Although An Yi doesn't know much about naval warfare, he still knows a little about the situation of the naval formation, and the real ability of the fleet is obviously not good just by looking at the formation, and the naval battle is determined by factors such as weather conditions, commander's on-the-spot performance, speed, hit rate and even luck, so An Yi ordered live firing.

Tesla's radio remote control technology was used in the manufacture of ships, and three 1,000-ton merchant ships were transformed into remote-pilotable targets, which was convenient for the Navy to conduct live-fire simulated target shooting!

"Boom—"

Three muffled thunderous roars rang out.

The First Fleet was led by the flagship "Honor", followed by the battleship "Nanhai" (formerly the "Ocean" dreadnought) and the cruiser "Huo Quai" (formerly "La. The light cruiser "Glorious" of the "Galisonier" class), followed by twelve destroyers, in a column speeding north, and seven kilometers to the right, three target ships flying the blue naval flag, also sailing at high speed to the north.

With the first order to open fire, the fleet began to attack the three blue target ships, and the first to fire was the battlecruiser "Honor". It's a pity that in addition to stirring up rows of skyrocketing water columns, it doesn't seem to hit the target ship.

At this time, the observation ship of the fleet's live-fire target shooting exercise came to report the results: the Honor was 7,000 meters away, the first-class main gun fired, the hit rate was zero, and it failed!

Cheng Guang shook his head slightly, and commanded into the transmitter: "The next battleship will start shelling!" ”

"Yes!"

In the assessment standards of the South China Navy, there is no warm-up shooting. That is, the battleships participating in each round of live firing did not have any preparation, and the shells were loaded directly, and there were only three chances to fire.

The main reason for this arrangement is that the training is not affected by the tense atmosphere of the battlefield in the first place, and the soldiers do not have to worry about the enemy's artillery shells coming at all, and there is no actual combat atmosphere in the exercise and target shooting, and if the soldiers are given sufficient time to warm up, it will be of no practical significance to hit the target ship in that way.

Therefore, the officers and men of the battleships whose turn to shell had only two minutes to shoot at each cannon, and they had to shoot the shells out within two minutes.

For a battleship, the chance that the main gun could hit the enemy ship in the first round of shelling from a distance of 7,000 meters was less than 1 in 5,000, and it was normal for it not to hit, and there was nothing to blame.

Therefore, An Yi, who had already been briefed on the situation, was really expected by this result, but the navy still recorded the officers and men as failing the grade, in order to urge the officers and men of the navy to guard against arrogance and rashness and increase pressure on them.

The next thing was that the other warships were targeting, and by the time all the battleships had finished, one of the target ships was hit by the destroyer "Yokoe" in the fleet, but unfortunately it was not sunk on the spot due to the small caliber of the shells. But even so, the results have been judged to be excellent, and the officers and men of the ship are jubilant.

Subsequently, the fleet entered the second round of shelling, which, of course, was much closer to the target ships.

"Honor: Second Class Main Gun Ready!"

"Target timer begins!"

As the timekeeper lowered the sand bell, the observation staff quickly began to observe the position of the Blue Battleship.

"Boom-"

The Honor's secondary guns opened fire, and the shells whizzed towards the target ship four kilometers away.

Seconds later, a roar is heard in the distance, and observers observe the results of the hit through the telescope, while the recorder records whether it has hit or not.

This was followed by two more shellings, this time a target ship was hit directly and slowly sank into the sea.

After that, the battleship "Nanhai" performed amazingly, with three shells directly sinking the remaining two target ships at a distance of 4,000 meters, and the remaining navy had no targets to hit.

An Yi was very satisfied with the Navy's ingenious training today, and he said to Cheng Guang:

"At present, we are still in the stage of exploring naval warfare, so we can only practice in this way, but in the future, it is best to practice the cooperation between the ship and the reconnaissance plane, and the reconnaissance plane will determine the position of the enemy ship and guide the ship in shelling. Of course, this has higher requirements for future naval battles, which means that we must master air supremacy on the sea surface. Here I just mention an idea, you are professionals, you may be more thoughtful than me, I will not do the axe! ”

"In naval warfare, there are various situations, such as strong winds and waves, and bad weather, when the aircraft cannot be lifted into the air, so the only way to fight is to rely on the ship itself," Lu Guang explained. We have a training subject for sea and air coordination on weekdays, and you can see it next time you come. ”

An Yi grinned, just wanted to speak, when he saw Shen Fengdao's expression coming in a hurry, his hand trembled slightly when he handed over the telegram, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately watched intently.

Something is wrong!

In Svidlovsk, Marshal Blyukher, People's Commissar for the Republic of the Far East and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Bukharin, Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and Propaganda, and Rykov, Chairman of the People's Council for the Far East, were shot and killed by the suddenly rebellious army while inspecting the troops transferred from the Far East to the Eastern European front.

Taking advantage of the lack of reaction of the Svidlovsk garrisons, the rebel army stormed the government building of the Far Eastern Republic, killed more than 100 staff members, seized the radio station, announced that Moscow had executed the three leading elements of the separatist Soviets, Blyukher, Bukharin and Rykov, and called on the people of the Siberian region to rise up and overthrow the "tyranny" of the Far Eastern Republic. Although the rebel army was quickly suppressed by the superior forces of the Far Eastern Army, the bad impact caused was irreversible.

An hour later, a dramatic scene took place in the Eastern Siberian region, when in Irkutsk, the commander of the Primorsky Cluster of the Far Eastern Army, who had been entrusted with the important task of Blyucher, announced his departure from the leadership of the Far Eastern Republic and led the 280,000 Red Army under his command anyway. Later, the Japanese soldiers passed through the Buleya River bloodlessly and marched towards Hailanpao.

Within a few hours after that, more than 100,000 troops rebelled in Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kosnoyarsk and other places, large and small, and the entire eastern front of the Far Eastern Republic was out of control.

Stalin's iron fist began to show great power!
