Chapter 15 The Red Party Navy Not to Be Left Behind

ps: Thank you to the reader for rewarding Heaven 100 Vertical and Horizontal Coins, and the reader for rewarding Heaven 1098 Vertical and Horizontal Coins, haha, thank you for your great support ^_^

In the northwest region of the Yanhuang Continent in the target plane, since Wang Fan appeared, the Red Party has become more and more comfortable day by day, and it can really be said that "there are more and more small rìzi", but among the smiling faces of many senior military officers, there are always two "bitter gourd faces", which are nicknamed "difficult brothers" by their colleagues. They are Liu Yalou, commander-in-chief of the Red Party Air Force, and Xiao Jinguang, commander-in-chief of the Navy.

Mr. Liu is better, although because there is no pilot who can fly the plane, he can only quietly watch the planes stay in the permanent or semi-permanent hangar, so there is still a thought and comfort, when he is depressed, he goes to the air eagle airport to take a turn, while smoking a cigarette while touching the fuselage of the sixth master, or look at the warehouse where the aerial bombs are stored, brush up the sense of existence, and the mood is still quite good. Especially recently, the rescue and return of the xīnjiāng air team has made him return to the mountains and forests like a tiger, and with the strength and arrangement that can be exerted, the mood is one word - cool!

On the other hand, Commander-in-Chief Xiao Jinguang's rì is even more sad, why? Because there is a shortage of water in the northwest! The Loess Plateau, where Yan'an is located, has been a water-scarce place since ancient times. Shaanxi and Shanxi simply have no large-scale lakes for training, so should they cultivate a navy in the creek that will gallop across the ocean in the future?

So Commander Xiao is depressed~~~. Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, Ma Bufang finally let the donkey kick his head, and took the initiative to unite with other Ma Jiajun to attack Shaanxi, which suddenly gave the Red Party the opportunity to recover the three northwestern provinces in advance. After all, considering the strong cavalry mobility of the Ma Jiajun in the northwest and the differences in religious beliefs in the regions, as well as the actual situation of the Red Party's weak mass base in the local area, the original plan of the Red Party army leaders was to first recover the northeast and north China, and then turn around and concentrate their forces to eat the Ma Jiajun and then recover the northwest. Now Ma Bufang has given the Red Party the opportunity to realize its dream in advance, and he is really a "Ma Shanren", how can he not seize it?

Some readers may have a big question, what is the commander-in-chief of the navy, Xiao Zongle, and what does it have to do with him? The answer is that it really does, and it does. Why? Because there is a Qinghai Lake in Qinghai.

Qinghai Lake, located in the northeast of the Qinghai Plateau, northwest of Xining City, the provincial capital of Qinghai Province, is the largest inland lake in Yanhuang, with an area of 4456 square kilometers and a circumference of more than 360 kilometers around the lake, which is more than twice as large as the famous Taihu Lake, with an average depth of about 21 meters and a maximum water depth of 32.8 meters, that is, this water depth can run warships in the lake!!

So when Qinghai recovered, Xiao Jinguang immediately took his subordinates to inspect the surroundings of Qinghai Lake and prepare for training. Of course, at this time, Comrade Wang Fan still needs to go out first and build a berth for warships with cement and concrete on the edge of the lake for docking training ships and missile boats.

In consideration of the Red Party's initial naval development, the shortage of personnel, the actual needs of coastal operations in advance, and the need to protect the natural environment of Qinghai Lake, Wang Fan and Commander-in-Chief Xiao Jinguang decided to invest only one frigate (1,500 tons), two small training ships (several hundred tons), and five missile boats in the early stage for the training of the navy's first batch of seed trainees.

The prototype of the frigate, Wang Fan chose the 053H1 (Jianghu II) frigate built by Yan Huang himself and launched in 1985 - "Dandong".

The standard displacement is 1,565 tons, the full load displacement is 1,960 tons, the length is 103.2 meters, the width is 10.8 meters, and the draft is 3.05 meters. Medium-speed diesel engine power, maximum speed of 25.5 knots, endurance of 4000 nautical miles, placed in Qinghai Lake is enough.

The reason why Wang Fan chose it is because its weapon system is not "too advanced", mainly artillery, supplemented by missiles, easy to use, and equipped with radar, although it is simple in later generations, but in 1943, it is enough to laugh at the naval ships of other countries.

At the same time, its firepower and equipment are very rich and powerful (by 1943 standards): 2 twin-mounted "upstream"-1A (SY-1A) anti-ship missiles, 2 Type 79 100mm twin semi-automatic naval guns, 4 Type 76 37mm twin-linked semi-automatic naval guns, 2 Type 3200 6-tube anti-submarine rocket deep-shell firing devices, 4 deep-firing guns (Type 64), two deep-firing shells, and 2 mine-laying tracks (with a maximum of 24 mines), which are enough to kill the frigates and destroyers of the Japanese in an instant, even if you meet one-on-one with the cruiser of the little devil, the other party will not please you.

At this time, on the Qinghai grassland, in the clear blue sky, there are many white clouds. The earthy meadows exude the fragrance of earth. In the distance, on the dark green peaks, there are several houses scattered bits and pieces. In such a picturesque place, a newly opened highway stretched gracefully, and more than a dozen military vehicles galloped quickly, heading for Qinghai Lake not far away.

"Boss, it's almost there!" Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the Red Party Navy, said as he looked at the blue surface of Qinghai Lake not far away.

"Well, it's finally almost here, we've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Commander-in-Chief Xiao nodded and said.

Yesterday, they were temporarily stationed in Xining City and received a telegram from Wang Fan, informing them that everything was ready and that they could go to Qinghai Lake to receive the warship. Because to train naval soldiers, there will inevitably be thousands of people who will come into contact with the warships, so it is really weird and unreasonable to have a few warships appear on the lake in a daze.

Therefore, Wang Fan and Xiao Jinguang agreed that he arrived at Qinghai Lake a few days in advance, and after ensuring that there was no outsider through the ring map imaging function, he quickly built several docks and maintenance facilities with the machinery and equipment built by Yadea, and added some rì in advance, and the mooring ferries and wharves poured with cement were added in advance, so that the people who saw it at first sight had a subconscious message: the warship was built in the dock here!

Inside a military car.

"Chief, look!" The guard Jǐng, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, suddenly pointed into the distance excitedly.

I saw that following his fingers, on the surface of the lake not far away, a gray and white mooring pier stretched out from the lake to the lake, the berth head was very wide, more than 20 meters wide and nearly 500 meters long, and at the end of it, several large and small ships were docked, the largest of which was a beautiful light white warship: a streamlined hull, with a thick turret at the bow and tail, and two small turrets at the back of each turret. In addition, in the bow and between the chimney, as well as in the rear of the chimney, there are two strange sets of white sè round boxes ("upstream"-1A anti-ship missile, shè range 50 km).

"Mr. Xiao, it should be a hundred meters long, right?" Zhang Aiping asked while squinting and observing.

"There should be, and the muzzle is very thick, and it's a double pack, it's enjoyable!!" Finally seeing the "real guy" belonging to his own navy, Xiao Jinguang was happy like a child, grinning happily.

"I heard that there are depth charges and mine-laying tracks on it, tsk, good thing!!" Zhang Aiping also smiled and narrowed her eyes, and replied.

Historically, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Republic Navy was just established, there were no destroyers at all, and the largest combat ships were only frigates. The most powerful of them is called the "Nanchang", and its hull is only 80.52 meters long, 39.762 meters wide, with a draft of 2.5 meters, and a displacement of 1,350 tons (the "Dandong" has a standard displacement of 1,565 tons, and a full load displacement of 1,960 tons).

In addition, the maximum speed of the "Nanchang" is only 20 knots; It is equipped with 3 119.4mm main guns (front double/rear single) and 8 25mm cannons, but the power and speed of the shells are not comparable to the Type 79 100mm twin semi-automatic naval guns, not to mention that the latter is also equipped with anti-ship missiles.

On the wharf by Qinghai Lake.

"Commander Xiao, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" Wang Fan stretched out his right hand and said while shaking hands with Xiao Jinguang.

"Comrade Wang Fan, thank you for your hard work!!" Mr. Xiao shook his right hand vigorously and said excitedly.

"Where, as it should be, as it should be! Let me show you around the warship! Wang Fan politely paused for a moment, and then suggested.

"Good! Good!! ”

Three minutes later, everyone came to the bow main gun of the "Dandong" (later, after the Red Party counterattacked Northeast China and North China and had its own port, when it actually announced the establishment of the navy, it would call this class of frigates "Songhuajiang-class" frigates).

"This is a 100-mm double-barreled naval gun of the Liberation One, which adopts a fully enclosed structure and an automatic ammunition feeder, which can be aimed fully automatically. The gun has two feed systems with a storage capacity of 52 rounds. Fully automatic and semi-automatic shè strikes can be implemented. Wang Fan pointed to the white turret on the opposite side, which was about one person high, and said.

"What about shè speed? How is the shè process? Zhang Aiping has been learning about ships for a while, and asked with concern about the two indicators that have a decisive role in naval warfare.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, xìng can handle it! The speed is 2×25 rounds per minute, the maximum distance is 22,500 meters, and the maximum height is 15,000 meters! Seeing Deputy Commander Zhang's anxious expression, Wang Fan smiled and hurriedly replied.

"Good, good!!" Hearing the data reported by Wang Fan, comparing some data on the corvettes and destroyers in his head, Xiao Jinguang laughed, and then pointed to the white cylindrical object behind him, and said, "By the way, Wang Fan, that's what anti-ship missile you talked about, right?" ”

"Yes, the 'upstream'-1A anti-ship missile, shè 50 km range!"

"How much? 50 km?! Zhang Aiping, who knew the accuracy of the journey for the first time, the boss with his mouth open, asked in disbelief: "50 kilometers, isn't it 50,000 meters?" Can people still see clearly? ”

"You need to use radar to shine shè and guide the missile to hit the target, it is already difficult for the human eye to judge accurately at that distance, the radar is that, you see!!" Wang Fan explained, while pointing to the radar antenna at the highest point of the "Dandong", and then said: "Don't look at this slender antenna is inconspicuous, but the role is very important, with it, you let the missile hit the west, it will not go east, you let it go north, it will never go south!" ”

"I see!" Zhang Aiping nodded and said.

"By the way, Wang Fan, the missile boat is also equipped with this kind of anti-ship missile, right?" Xiao Jinguang suddenly interjected and asked.

"Yes, the five missile boats are equipped with this type of missiles, mainly considering the logistics maintenance and the general purpose of the naval cadets after they have completed their studies, and after we have a period of time, after the counterattack in the northeast and north China, we will have our own ports and outlets to the sea, and then we will join the new type of ships for training and operations."

"That day is not far away, I look forward to it every day!"

"Then let's go into the wheelhouse, I'll start to introduce the equipment one by one, let's try to get familiar with the ship as soon as possible!"

"Okay, let's go!!"

In this way, in Qinghai Lake, where the waves are not so obvious, the Red Party's first naval training base was completed, although there is still a big difference between here and the sea, but at least the Red Party's naval cadets can feel the feeling of surface navigation, and at the same time be familiar with the equipment in their hands, learn to master the essentials of cāo, grope for actual combat exercises, and wait for 2 or 3 months later, when the Red Party successfully counterattacks the Northeast and North China and recovers the port, Wang Fan will recycle the ships here and transport them directly to the Bohai Sea. Further sea training and seaworthiness will be carried out there, of course, the wharf here will not be wasted, and the development of Qinghai Lake's tourism resources in the future will definitely be used.
