Chapter Eighty-Eight: History Beyond Recognition
Chapter 88 Granny He stepped down
In October 1932, there were two major events well-known in the world: One was that after negotiations between Hitler and Britain and France, he announced that he would abandon the construction of the No. 3 German-class pocket battleship, and as compensation, Britain and France agreed to build two light cruisers with a tonnage of no more than 6,000 tons. The Deutsche Class II ship under construction was suspended as early as the month when Hitler became chancellor. The designers were ordered to rebuild the power system of the second ship.
The German-class battleships were originally powered by eight MAN diesels. 8 MAN diesel engines drive twin shafts, and every 4 units drive one drive shaft, which rotates to 25or/min. The vibration of the diesel engine is small in the cruising state, and the vibration is very strong when sailing at high power, but after the service, it has been proved that the seaworthiness of the ship of this class is good, but due to the lack of gunwales in the front of the hull, the waves are strict when sailing against the waves. The design voyage of the 'Deutschland' at full load displacement and power output of 54ooohp is 26knts, and in the state of light sea trials, the ship reaches 28knts at 4839ohp.
As a shipbreaker, the German-class battleship was designed with firepower stronger than any 1oooot-class treaty-type heavy cruiser equipped with 2o3mm guns and only light armor protection at the time, and the maximum voyage of 26 knots was faster than that of the battleships of the time, so that it could avoid engaging fire. It meets the needs of the German Navy as coastal defense in the near sea area and the destruction of ocean shipping routes.
This line of thinking was completely correct before 1935, but with the advancement of technology, by the time the war began in 194o, the disadvantages of its inadequacy were severely exposed.
The advantage of the diesel power system is that it is the most economical and long-range in low-altitude sailing, but the disadvantage is that the hull vibration is large and the degree cannot be increased when sailing at high degrees. After 194o, the world's newly built battleships invariably took the route of elevation, and the newly built battleships were all above 29 knots at their maximum.
Obviously. Neither Hannah nor Hitler, nor Field Marshal Raeder, who knew from Hannah the right direction for the next ten years, could no longer allow the German Navy to be equipped with such a ship, which would become obsolete in a few years. It has become an ironclad thing to stop building the No. 2 German-Italian ship, carry out high-tech transformation, and abandon the unbuilt No. 3 ship. The combination of the traverser and the power of the state finally began to seriously influence the course of the German naval exhibition at this time.
At Hannah's request. Half of the second ship, the future 'Admiral Scheer', will be converted to a steam turbine power system. Compared with diesel power, the steam turbine power system has the advantage of having more horsepower and can run higher sailing, and the disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is large. Short range. However, in Hannah's opinion, this is not a problem. From the very beginning, Hannah did not intend to build a battleship of the Broken Friendship type, but positioned Yiqiē on the "decisive battle".
In the coming years, the warships built by the German Navy, whether battleships or aircraft carriers, will be "decisive battle" ships. As a traverser, Hannah is well aware. The biggest problem with Germany's original design idea of "broken battleships" was that every time this kind of broken battleships went to sea, while hunting, they were also the prey of others, and they always had to face a large number of British warships with absolute superiority. Historically, Germany's warships had few successes, but their losses were very huge, and the huge investment in military spending was not cost-effective compared with the actual results. Brilliant achievements compared to camouflaged sneak attack ships and submarines. It's even more unbearable.
Hannah, possessed supernatural abilities and a prophet of history, believed that she could use her own soul to put it into battle, and was confident that she could defeat the Royal Navy on a given battlefield - provided that the German Navy followed her guidelines.
After Hitler became chancellor, Hannah had a long night of talks with Commander Raeder, and now the German Navy fully supports Hannah's naval construction plan.
According to the plan, after the replacement of the new power system of the second ship of Germany, the maximum time will be 3o knots. This will make it possible to fight together with aircraft carriers. In recent years, Hannah has spent a lot of faith in the field of metal research, and one of the results is that according to the recipe and process she provided, the boiler made in Germany is a generation more advanced than similar products in Britain and the United States, with the world's most advanced machine tools. Germany is now able to supply warships with the world's most advanced power systems.
Once the new power equipment is successfully converted on the second ship, as Hannah itself, the first ship Deutschland will also undergo a similar upgrade. Although this kind of renovation is expensive, the Deutsche is the body of Hannah after all, and this cost will not be saved in any case. In addition, in the coming days, the bow of the two pocket battleships will also be modified to adapt to the sea conditions of the Atlantic, so as to cope with the problem of severe waves on the ship when the wind is against the wind, and some details of the bottom of the hull will also be adjusted and transformed when returning to the factory for overhaul to meet the most fluid standards.
As the soul of the Deutschland, Hannah knew very well where her "body" was flawed in design or construction, and she had not privately modified it in order to save the power of faith. Now that she can control the design of the all-German ** ship, of course she will no longer sit idly by and watch those flaws exist.
As for the two light cruisers to replace the third ship, Hannah's plan was to build two anti-aircraft light cruisers to escort aircraft carriers in future naval battles. According to the plan, the guns used by the two light cruisers were not traditional 15o-mm naval guns, but 128-mm high-level dual-purpose guns that were being designed and fired.
As for the 15o mm naval guns on the German ** ships in service, among the six-inch guns, they can almost be crowned with the worst names of World War II, and Hannah has a very bad impression of them. In the second month after Mustache came to power, the military ordered the research department to re-engineer the new artillery based on the design sketches provided by Hannah.
In addition, another weapon that Hannah shot was the SK-C/3O 83-caliber 37-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun, which was under development. Germany began to design it in 193o, and it was successfully developed and finalized in 1934 in history, but this anti-aircraft gun was a rotten product that qualified to compete for the name of the worst anti-aircraft gun in World War II, and was even called "hand-pulled machine anti-aircraft gun" by later generations of World War II military fans.
After Hitler came to power, with his order, the development of this anti-aircraft gun was immediately stopped, and a replacement had already been found, that is, the Swedish company Bofors. The 4O mm anti-aircraft gun under design by the company is recognized as the best anti-aircraft gun of World War II, and it is also a mass-produced and imitated anti-aircraft gun by warring countries, and has the reputation of Wanguo brand anti-aircraft gun.
After the end of World War I, in order to bypass the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German side has always been in close contact with the Swedish Ministry of Military Industry. Especially when it comes to artillery. However, historically, the Germans paid attention to the research of large-caliber artillery, and neglected the item of small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery.
As a traverser, how did Hannah let go of the classic 4o mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, long before the mustache came to power, she paid for it, and the Krupp company came forward to directly participate in the research of this anti-aircraft gun, and shared the technology of this anti-aircraft gun with the Swedes.
Thanks to the addition of funds and technology provided by the Germans. The history of the 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun was smoother, and now the design of this gun has been finalized and will be available in January next year. Privately, the German Navy and the 6th have designated this anti-aircraft gun as the main anti-aircraft gun of the German Navy and the 6th Army in the future.
In order to unify the caliber and reduce the burden of logistics supply and production troubles, the corresponding anti-tank gun developed by the 6th Army. Its caliber was also changed to 4o mm. In World War II, Germany was notorious, and the 37-mm anti-tank gun, nicknamed "knocker", and the caliber of 37 mm, were directly out of the German Navy and the 6th Army before they appeared.
Another small-caliber anti-aircraft gun that was put on the agenda for design was the multi-barreled Gatling gun, which was divided into two caliber types, 20 mm and 30 mm, which was a World War II weapon that had never appeared in this era in history. It was also a short-range anti-aircraft gun prepared by Hannah for the Navy.
As for the development of large-caliber naval guns, Germany is currently constrained by the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty, and cannot openly tear up the treaty and directly develop a new type of naval guns of more than 15 inches. However, the large-scale forging presses, rollers, edge smashing machines, steel rolling mills and other equipment needed to manufacture larger-caliber naval guns, as well as a variety of large-scale equipment such as steel heating troughs for cannon barrels, cannon inlay towers, and barrel stress adjustment towers, were all prepared in order, and research and manufacturing began as soon as Hitler tore up the Versailles Treaty.
Exhibition of Germany's military technology tree. Now it has been completely controlled by Hannah, as for the Air Force, the HE51 biplane fighter that has not yet put forward a plan for opening has also been poisoned, according to the route plan given by Hannah, the rearmament of the Luftwaffe will directly take the route of monoplane fighters from the beginning.
When the traversal and the power of the state are combined, Hannah's influence on history is becoming more and more significant. In World War II, Germany's armaments were rapidly detached from history and headed for "beyond recognition."
When the German military industry exhibition was running in the direction of "unrecognizable", the situation in China in the civil war had long been because of Lin Han's table. It's already in a state of unrecognizable.
On October 20, 1939, He Yingqin, who replaced Chang Kaishen and sat in the position of "chairman" for a year, stepped down from power with "blue nose and swollen eyes" amid internal and external troubles.
Internal worries are Song Ziwen, who is competing with him for power and profit, and always stuck his neck in financial power. hooked up with Song Ziwen, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang faction in the Huangpu department thought that Chen Cheng, Liu Zhi, and Gu Zhu were the same, and they also ignored him in terms of military power, and he wanted to vomit blood.
The external attack is the Jiangxi Red (Crab) Army, the front-line "banditry" war has suffered setbacks one after another, and the Jiangxi war situation is spreading in the direction of rapid erosion. With the support of Lin Han, the Red (Crab) Army, which corrected the mistakes in history, has developed extremely rapidly in the past year.
In less than half a year before being blockaded and cut off by the Nanjing Nationalist Government, Lin Han frantically smuggled a large amount of munitions and equipment into the Soviet area, which greatly improved the equipment of the Red Army, which lacked guns and ammunition, and even had the initial strength to produce its own bullets and mortar shells. Although the Nanjing Nationalist Government and the British and American Yangtze River Fleet later strictly investigated smuggling and blocked this blood vessel, it only cut off the transportation of bulk materials on the surface. The Jiangxi Red (Crab) Army was still able to "move rats" and smuggle small batches to get urgently needed materials that they could not produce themselves.
The rapidly growing Red (Crab) Army, after clearing itself of the bad influence of the nerdy Muscovite faction from within, switched from defense to offensive in June of that year. In less than three months from mid-June to early September, the Red (Crab) Army launched a summer offensive in Jiangxi, fought more than ten battles in three months, and ate a total of ten divisions under He Yingqin, two and a half divisions under Song Ziwen, and countless guns, most of the belongings in He Yingqin's hands were defeated in three months, and the entire territory of Jiangxi, except for several large cities in Jiujiang, Nanchang, and Ganzhou, as well as some areas along the Yangtze River, the rest of the territory was either directly occupied by the Red (Crab) Army, or became what they liked. A go-and-go guerrilla zone.
The reason why Ganzhou, which went deep into the front line of Jiangxi's "suppression of bandits", did not fall was purely a trap dug by the Red (Crab) Army under the leadership of Li Runshi for "Granny He". Today's Ganzhou, surrounded by bandits, is like an isolated island, relying only on a Ganjiang River that will be cut off at any time to transport supplies. About 20,000 "**" were besieged by the Red (Crab) Army in the city of Ganzhou, and they could not advance or retreat.
In the past September, in order to understand the siege of Ganzhou. The hard-working "Granny He" united with his allies, Song Ziwen of the control of the rivers and Zhejiang, and gathered an army of 400,000, known as 500,000, to jointly send troops to the so-called "fourth encirclement and suppression".
Compared with the original historical plane, Granny He's "fourth encirclement and suppression" this time. The 400,000 troops under his command have more water, and their cooperation with each other is a hundred times worse than that of Chang Kaishen's time.
Eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers has always been a common feature of China's warlord forces except for the Red (Crab) Army during the Republic of China. The so-called army of 400,000. After squeezing out those vacancies, there will actually be more than 300,000 people, and if we deduct the landlords' armed forces, militia groups, and hometown return regiments, which are not even five scum in combat effectiveness, the "bandit" troops with acceptable combat effectiveness, that is, about 2.78 million, are still much larger than the Red (crab) army, which has just expanded to 120,000.
It's just that war is not a game of numbers. 120,000 men of the Red (Crab) Army. Although the equipment is almost there, it is twisted into a fist to fight collectively, and the 270,000 field troops in the hands of "Granny He" are scattered and fighting separately, and the idea of preserving their strength and pit teammates between them is even more important than exterminating the Red (Crab) Army. More importantly, their opponent, the Red (Crab) Army, already has the atmosphere of a modern army in spirit and ideology. However, He Yingqin and Song Ziwen's "banditry" army still retains the style of the old-style "private army" and "one-time army".
The actions of hundreds of thousands of troops are far from what ordinary people imagine, leading a big hand. Hundreds of thousands of people are as simple as pressing on the whole line with a single call. The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the supply of the army along the way is the most important and the most headache problem. It is impossible to concentrate the military operations of hundreds of thousands of people on one road and in one direction, and the supply problems along the way alone will overwhelm the army itself. The only way that can be adopted is the same policy of multi-way division and joint encirclement and joint attack as in the previous encirclement and suppression, and this method of operation naturally gives the Red Army a great opportunity to break through in various ways.
Whether it was Granny He or Zheng Sanzi Chang Kaishen, it was not that they did not know that this tactic of dividing and attacking together would be broken by the Red Army, but that the form of his regime at that time, and his supply capacity limited him to this tactic. One of the biggest differences between the old-style army and the new-style modern army is that the old-style army is a "stronghold" army, and its field mobility capability is extremely poor. and the modern army in the true sense of the word, in terms of field combat and capabilities, there is a complete difference between heaven and earth. The old-style army, asking his tens of thousands of troops to move more than ten kilometers a day is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky, and he will collapse first when he takes a big step.
Although there was an example of the Central Army driving 4o kilometers in one day to occupy the capital of the base area in three days, it was a temporary rapid march in wartime, and it was only a special case of the arrogant behavior of "eating in the base area" under the situation of "300,000 beating 30,000 boulders and crushing eggs" at that time, and it could not be regarded as an ordinary field maneuver. In addition to the problem of supply, there is also the problem of organizational strength in terms of its own details, and the problem of organizational strength is more fatal than the problem of supply on the march of the army.
Note: The difficulty of the field march of the old-style army, this is a very detailed military problem, if you are interested, I will get this information and put it in the data area for interested netizens to see) Even after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1946, after receiving a large number of trucks from the Americans, the army of the artillery party still did not solve this drawback. For example: Xue Yue's army is considered to be very strong and excellent in the field mobility of the artillery army, but under normal circumstances in the war, his marching degree can only reach 14 kilometers per day, and the American adviser once asked him to increase the marching degree, but Xue Yue replied that he can't be faster, no matter how fast the supply can't keep up, the army will collapse in the high march.
Compared with the artillery party and bandit army, which was still an old-style stronghold-type army, the Red Army's Su zhì at this time was still a certain gap from the mobile army that was "iron-footed and unable to run to death" in the historical liberation war, but after the tempering of the previous anti-encirclement (crab) suppression, it already had the prototype of a modern army.
Coupled with the artillery army's consistent bird virtue of "friends who die do not die and do not die in poverty" and "friendly troops who are difficult and immobile like mountains", the fourth "suppression of bandits" operation by He Yingqin and Song Ziwen became a tragedy from the very beginning.
At this time, after the first half of the fighting, the area of the Soviet zone had been greatly expanded, and there was even greater room for strategic maneuver in wartime. Under the leadership of Li Runshi, the Jiangxi Red Army adopted the policy of luring the enemy into the depths as usual. Use an east-to-west strike strategy. First concentrated his forces on the Eastern Front to fight three battles in a row, eating Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong each a division, Liu Zhi had the army in his hands, and ran fast when he saw that the situation was not good, but he was still chased by the Red Army and gnawed down half of the division. As for following the main forces of the Central Army to "pick up" the landlords' militia and the like, when the army crossed the border, the Red Army wiped out a lot of them as if they were sweeping garbage.
Only for a week. After the "banditry" army on the eastern front of Jiangxi lost more than 20,000 people, the remaining 100,000 or so people took the initiative to "preserve their strength" and retreated, and all of them retreated to their original places. After receiving a large amount of supplies, the Red Army, which had returned, returned to the Western Front and once again beat the isolated and helpless "Granny He". In 20 days, he fought seven battles in a row, and he swallowed the entire 70,000 people of the ten divisions under He Yingqin's hands in one go. Although most of the ten divisions in He Yingqin's hands are miscellaneous divisions. After all, ten divisions were registered at the Nanjing Nationalist Government with an establishment and could be paid, but they were wiped out within 20 days.
After the war, when a general in the artillery party shirked the responsibility for the defeat and attacked He Yingqin slightly, he said a famous sentence that would later become famous all over the world: "Ten divisions, 70,000 people." In less than twenty days, it was all gone! Even if 70,000 pigs are released and the bandits are caught, they won't be able to catch them all! ”
Under the anger of the masses, in the face of pressure and pressure from all walks of life, Granny He, who had suffered a big defeat, was forced to resign, and Wang Jingwei, the "vice president" of Wannian, united with Hu Hanmin and wanted to come to power under the banner of the prime minister's heir. was kicked down by Song Ziwen, who had money and a gun. After a boiling farce of struggle for power and profit in Nanjing, Song Ziwen replaced He Yingqin and became the new "chairman" as he wished.
After this battle, he copied the "private money" of "Granny He", and "ate a big household" here in the "Song God of Wealth", and the strength of the Red Army, which made up for it, swelled again, and most of the entire Jiangxi Province fell into the hands of the Red Army. Only Jiujiang and Nanchang were temporarily in the hands of the artillery party because of their geographical proximity to the Yangtze River and the fact that He Yingqin had been operating for a long time and had the support of the British Yangtze River Fleet, while Ganzhou was used as a trap, chicken rib, and bait to "trap" the Nanjing Nationalist Government. The Red Army has always deliberately surrounded but not attacked, and even for the convenience of "doing business", even the supply line of the Ganjiang River has not been cut off. The consequences and accidents were cheapened by Ma Kun, the commander of the 12th Division who "defended" Ganzhou (He Yingqin promoted him from brigade commander to division commander in order to win over this person), he was alone and guarded Ganzhou for a year in the "hundreds of thousands of bandit army", and finally got the reputation of "Iron Wall Ma Kun", and later took advantage of this army to be promoted to "lieutenant general".
On the side of the Red Army, after the war, the Jiangxi Red Zone and the Hunan Red Army were united, and the revolutionary form of the Red Army in the south was very good. According to the plan, in the coming days, the Red Army will expand to Fujian, and strive to expand its base area to the sea and obtain an outlet to the sea at an early date, so that Lin Han can avoid the elbow control of the Yangtze River and transport more aircraft and equipment in.
On the other hand, the First World War lost twelve and a half divisions, and the war had reached this point, and the Nanjing Nationalist Government was already in a very dangerous situation under the great loss of vitality. The defeated sinner He Yingqin stepped down, and Song Ziwen, who became the chairman of the committee, also had a hard time.
One of his "allies", He Yingqin, was defeated by the Red Army in a battle, and the only remaining troops in his hands added up to less than 50,000 cats and kittens, including 20,000 in Ganzhou, which was surrounded by the Red Army. In this battle, although Song Ziwen was bitten by the Red Army and injured his muscles and bones, he was not in danger of life, but he had lost the courage to take the initiative to attack the Jiangxi Soviet District.
In the Chinese war, the strategic shape of the Red and White armies has been reversed after September. The issue that the newly appointed "Chairman Soong" should now consider is no longer to take the initiative to "suppress bandits," but to guard his own home to prevent the Red Army from coming to "fight the autumn wind."
In October, Lin Han, who was far away in the United States, received a telegram from the Jiangxi Soviet District that Chairman Song of the People's Congress in Nanjing had secretly asked the Red Army for "peace talks" through his sister Ms. Qingling. After the great victory, the Jiangsu Soviet region also needed time to disappear the previous gains, and the two sides are currently in covert contact, and the fighting on the front line has temporarily subsided.
