In the next few days, Chen Feng took Chen Shaokuan and others to visit the Port Moresby Naval Base and all the naval ships that had been built, and after visiting these, Chen Shaokuan was shocked by the strength of the navy under Chen Feng, especially after watching Chen Feng personally operate the missile cruiser launched by the missile, Chen Shaokuan was not only extremely shocked, but the expression on his face was more solemn.

There were too many surprises for this navy, especially the advanced ships. When Chen Feng controlled the "Saibei" missile cruiser to launch live ammunition, a target ship 3 kilometers away was instantly hit, and the power of the shipborne artillery called missiles was so great that only one shell destroyed the bridge of the destroyer that served as a target ship. According to Chen Shaokuan's many years of experience, the 2600-strong destroyer would sink after withstanding up to 3 shells.

As a senior admiral, Chen Shaokuan is extremely familiar with the performance of naval ships, even if some warships cannot be said very accurately, but they can also say eight or nine without leaving ten. However, now Chen Shaokuan has no bottom about the performance of these new warships under Chen Feng's department.

This bottomless is not that there is no lower limit for the performance of the battleship, but there is no upper limit for the performance of this new type of warship, which is too advanced, and the hit rate of that kind of missile is too high, and it is almost a hit must.

Regardless of the displacement of those warships, they are all small and medium-sized warships of less than 10,000 tons, except for aircraft carriers and battleships, but Chen Shaokuan predicts that if the officers and men of the navy can understand the performance of these new warships, these warships alone will be enough to deal with the Japanese Navy. It's all about beating primitives with muskets. Those battleships of the Japanese army were completely incomparable with them.

After learning about the performance of this new warship, Chen Shaokuan is more confident in the next work. On June 4, with the support of Chen Feng, Chen Shaokuan was inaugurated as the commander of China's Nanyang Navy, responsible for all matters of the navy and coordinating the overall situation.

Subsequently, the first batch of the Nanyang Naval Officer Training Course was put in place, and 76 officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel, including Chen Shaokuan and others, received all-round training from Chen Feng, focusing on the foundation of naval technology and tactics.

The first week of the course was mainly theoretical, that is, to tell the senior officers of the Navy what the weapons and electronic systems of the new warship do. As for how to use Chen Feng, it's just a passing pass. Chen Feng also knew that it was too early to tell them how to use it, and they couldn't remember it if they didn't say much about wasting time.

How to use it is best to teach it on a warship, so that the effect will be better. For a whole week, Chen Feng explained the aircraft carrier, missile cruiser, destroyer, and frigate one by one. In addition to the lectures, he also wrote some lecture notes. After each lesson, give the notes to someone to copy. Distribute it so that each student can re-study it against the notes and deepen the image.

After a week of studying. These middle- and high-ranking officers have an understanding of the basic performance of the new warship, and they know what the weapon system and electronic equipment are all about.

The second week was the real practical teaching, which was carried out on the warship, and the two most important systems, electronic equipment and weapon systems, were taught by Chen Feng to these middle and senior officers.

Perhaps due to the high quality, the two-week course of practical teaching was completed in only ten days. After the practical teaching is completed, the next time is a short sea trial, which is also part of the practical teaching.

On June 21, the Chinese Navy's Heilongjiang Fleet made its first ocean-going voyage after its new warships were put into service, and the destination of this voyage was Samoa, 2,600 nautical miles east of Australia, and the fleet departed from Port Arthur, circled the south and east of Australia, and then directly arrived in Samoa, with a round-trip voyage of 12,000 nautical miles.

On the same day, the Yangtze River Fleet also departed from Port Moresby, sailed westward, and went straight to the Dutch East Indies, this time the purpose was to open up a safe passage between Port Moresby and Java Island, because there were ordinary merchant ships attacked by pirates on the way to the South Sea Territory, and pirates were even more rampant during this time, if there was no naval fleet to escort them, ordinary merchant ships would not dare to go to sea at all, so the purpose of the Yangtze River Fleet this time was to solve the problem of piracy.

Two days later, the Yellow River Fleet set off from Lae and began to carry out daily patrols around the Nanyang Territory, especially sailing on the Brahman Islands, Aru Islands and other islands, and erecting boundary monuments is also a way to declare sovereignty!

After the navy's three major fleets went to sea, Chen Feng and Chen Shaokuan trained the second and third batches of officers on the one hand, and supervised the production of all caliber of living artillery and carrier-based aircraft ammunition on the other.

On the 25th, the Heilongjiang fleet sent a telegram saying that they had arrived in Samoa. After the New Zealand-controlled port has been rereplenished, the fleet has now begun to return to Port Arthur and is expected to return to Port Arthur in five days.

The news from the Yangtze River Fleet was not very good, they wandered around the sea for five days, but they could not find the pirates' lair, and now the fleet was heading for the island of Java.

But no matter whether the fleet comes back with good news or bad news, at least in Chen Feng's opinion, this is good news, which shows that the naval fleet under his command has initially mastered these new ships, and it is no longer like some time ago, even bumping into ships.

Just when Chen Feng was going to personally lead the fleet to a great voyage south and conduct actual combat exercises, a news from China made Chen Feng have to dispel this idea.

After more than half a year of preparation, Okamura Ningji finally gained a firm foothold in North China, taking advantage of the opportunity of Chen Feng's headquarters and the Kwantung Army to the death, Okamura Ningji frequently used troops in the defense area, and successively inflicted heavy losses on the units of the Eighth Route Army, resulting in heavy casualties among the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and eastern Hebei, not only the troops were reduced a lot, but even the population under control was reduced by about half.

On June 10, 1941, the North China Front gathered four infantry divisions and one chariot division, and launched a large-scale attack on eastern Henan with the cooperation of artillery, cavalry, engineers and aviation.

At the same time, Okamura Ningji also stationed heavy troops at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, apparently to strictly prevent Chen Feng's troops from advancing eastward and supporting the first theater of operations on the flank.

In the face of the Japanese attack, Jiang Dingwen, commander of the First Theater of the Nationalist Government, had an army of more than 200,000 and hurriedly dropped four divisions to eastern Henan, and transferred another three divisions to defend Zhengzhou.

However, Okamura Ningji did not engage in a gut-fighting battle with Jiang Dingwen's subordinates, and the army did not move after the Lanfeng line was set up, waiting for the four divisions of the first theater to arrive on the battlefield.

On June 15, a Japanese paratrooper brigade took advantage of the night to parachute in Zhongmu County and quickly occupied this strategic point, while a large number of Japanese airborne troops gathered in the Zhongmu area, and then turned around to besiege the defenders of the first theater of operations on the Lanfeng line.

Under the attack of the Japanese army from east to west, most of the defenders were annihilated in a bloody battle for 3 days and nights, and a small part broke through to Fengqiu, only less than 8 days, the first theater of the Nationalist Government in eastern Henan, 8 divisions, 6 brigades, 3 independent regiments, a total of 110,000 defenders suffered heavy casualties, except for more than 30,000 people who broke through, the rest were all consumed, the door of Zhengzhou was wide open, and the Japanese army was advancing to Zhengzhou in a big way.

After receiving the news, Chen Feng was angry, this old Jiang was kicked in the head by a donkey? Wei Lihuang, who is so good, doesn't need it, how did he send Jiang Dingwen, a thousand-year-old bastard, over, isn't this nonsense?

This Jiang Dingwen is not a good thing, this person is famous for gambling, after the Central Plains War, Jiang Dingwen and the other two army commanders Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yun met in Zhengzhou, gathering and gambling. Jiang Dingwen lost three months' salaries of the officers and men of the division overnight.

After the outbreak of the "77" Lugou Bridge Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Dingwen served as the commander-in-chief of the 4th Group Army, defended Fujian, and then appointed the chairman of the Military Commission to the director of the Xi'an camp, and in June 1938, he served as the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government and the chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department of the Chinese Kuomintang, and the commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Security.

During Jiang Dingwen's reign in the northwest, he abused his power to make a fortune. He was well aware of Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "only allowing corruption and not deterioration" towards his subordinates, bending the law for personal gain, being corrupt, and gambling wildly, thus becoming a well-known "corrupt general." The amount of private property that Jiang Dingwen has accumulated through corruption, bribery, speculation and business is huge, and even the property of Mao Yuqin and Gu Fengxiang, the largest capitalists in the northwest, is only a fraction of Jiang Dingwen's.

In addition to gambling and greedy for money, this person is also lustful. Although he has a wife and two concubines, he also forcibly occupied the famous peony of Xi'an Peking Opera. Long-term fornication caused him to contract serious venereal diseases, and Yang Huaitang, an expert in flower willow disease, served as a personal doctor to treat him for venereal diseases, and Yang Huaitang was also favored because of this, and has been following Jiang Dingwen to become the director of the military medical department, and became a laughing stock in the army at that time. It is really ridiculous for such a person to sit in the Central Plains, and the old Jiang can think of it.

Historically, Jiang Dingwen replaced Wei Lihuang, who resigned due to the defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, as the commander of the First Theater and the commander-in-chief of the Jicha Theater on January 12, 1942. But now because the Eighth War Zone has recovered the entire territory of Shanxi, and the Battle of Tojo Mountain is gone, Chen Feng doesn't pay much attention to this guy, but he didn't expect that this guy jumped out without paying attention, and suddenly stabbed a big hole in the sky.

There are only a few troops in the first theater, and when Wei Lihuang was there, there were only more than 100,000 regular troops plus more than 100,000 newly formed recruit troops, and the full battle was 250,000, and about half of it was lost at once, and the next battle would be difficult to fight. If one is not good, Wei Lihuang's achievements will be ruined. Moreover, in history, even Wei Lihuang himself failed to defend Henan, let alone a general of wine and meat, and it seems that he must immediately return to Saibei to deal with the chaos.
