Chapter 208: Warning the Navy

Jin Zhao looked at this information about the current strength of the Huaxia Navy, and couldn't help but have a headache! This is also called the navy, the total tonnage of the four fleets combined is only more than 40,000 tons, and a Nagato-class battleship is more than 30,000 tons, not to mention the Yamato-class at the back. It is no wonder that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy had only to sink itself. Jin Zhao estimated that with these small sampans, if this was to dispatch the Nagato-class battleships, one would be able to destroy one of your fleets. Jin Zhao even doubted that if the Nagato stopped there and let the Huaxia Navy bomb it casually, it was a question of whether it could sink others.

"There is no navy after the first noon! That's true! Jin Zhao threw the information in his hand on the table. I think that at the time of the first day of the year, the Beiyang Fleet could still fight a close naval battle with Yuben, although it was defeated in the end, but there were many reasons. The simple comparison of strength between the two navies at that time was not much different, but I did not expect that decades later, the gap between the two sides would become so huge.

It is now 1934, and there are only more than three years left before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, although Jin Zhao has a golden finger in his hand, he cannot fill such a big gap in just three or four years, it seems that the future Anti-Japanese War is still extremely difficult!

Jin Zhao shook his head and regained a trace of consciousness, these words were overworked, Jin Zhao's head was comatose all day long, and he looked a lot older, from a sturdy young man, gradually became a little old man! War is making people grow old!

Jin Zhao, Xie Jinyuan and others came to the forward position by the Wulong River together, looking at the looming warship on the river, Jin Zhao pointed to a relatively large warship on the river and asked, "What kind of warship is that?" ”

"It should be the cruiser Haickey, the capital ship of the First Fleet!" Xu Wenqiang replied softly. At this time, Xu Wenqiang had returned to Jin Zhao's side and continued to serve as Jin Zhao's adjutant.

Wu Jiandao, who was in charge of intelligence work next to him, nodded affirmatively and said, "It's a Hairong-class cruiser, but it's not clear which one it is!" ”

The navy that fought in Fujian was the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, of which two Hairong-class cruisers, Hairong and Haichip, were the main ships of the First Fleet.

"Oh!" Jin Zhao nodded and said, "When we were fighting with the little devils in Shanghai, where were they, and now they actually run to Lao Tzu to show off their might!" Jin Zhao was very dissatisfied with the fact that the navy stood by and watched during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. Although the navy is weak and is not an opponent of the fleet at all, it does not even have the courage to fight, which is a bit too much to say.

Wu Jiandao replied with a serious face, "During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Hai Chip Ship not only stood by and watched, but was indifferent. He also had friendly exchanges with the Chinese army that invaded China, and sent a large amount of grain, vegetables, fish and meat to the army. ”

"Shameless!" Jin Zhao gritted his teeth and said these two words, "Blow it up!" ”

"How do you fry it?" Xie Jinyuan asked with a surprised expression.

Although the Hairong-class cruiser is a classic ship of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, its armament is equipped with 3 150mm 40 times diameter Krupp rapid-fire guns (2 on the left and right sides of the bow and 1 stern), 8 105mm 40 times diameter Krupp rapid-fire guns (distributed on both sides), 6 37mm Haqikais machine guns, 6 8mm Makqin machine guns, and 1 60mm Krupp camp gun. For the 19th Route Army, which was only equipped with 75 mountain guns, there was no way to take it at all,

"Of course it was blown up with a plane! I have already transferred two flying squadrons and twenty-four fighters from Wuyi Mountain! I can't deal with these little sampans yet! Jin Zhao said with a contemptuous face.

Xie Jinyuan asked with a surprised expression, "How many planes are there in Wuyi Mountain?" ”

"Not much? One hundred and eighty crosses! But it's enough to deal with the headmaster's air force and navy! Jin Zhao smiled and said, "Order the air team, immediately dispatch bombers to blow up and sink the Sea Chip!" Then warn Chen Shaokuan to let his naval fleet leave the coast of Fujian, otherwise I will blow them all up! Jin Zhao's later words were said to Xu Wenqiang, and his tone was serious, revealing strong confidence.

More than an hour later, 24 warplanes suddenly appeared over the Wulong River, and a piercing air defense siren sounded, and Chen Jiliang, commander of the First Fleet, was greatly shocked and hurriedly organized officers and men to conduct air defense. But the air defense of the First Fleet is really rotten. Soon the fighters in the air locked onto the cruiser Hai Chip on the river, and the three planes swooped down one after another, throwing three bombs at the Hai Chip, which could not be effectively evaded in the narrow river. "Boom, boom, boom" Three violent explosions sounded, two of which hit the Sea Chip directly, and the other bomb deviated a little and became a near-miss. In the violent explosion, the sea chip ship burst into flames.

Soon three more planes swooped down and dropped three bombs. However, this time only one bomb hit directly, but even so, the sea chip ship broke into two in an instant and quickly sank in the boiling river.

Chen Jiliang saw that the Hai Chip was blown up and sunk in an instant, and his face was suddenly like earth, and cold sweat came out. But at this time, the plane in the sky suddenly flew away from the sky over the Wulong River, and Chen Jiliang, who had survived the disaster, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to sail out of the Wulong River.

Looking at the fleeing naval fleet, Xie Jinyuan asked puzzledly, "Why don't you blow up and sink a few more ships, and just let them run away, it's a pity for him!" ”

Jin Zhao shook his head and said, "After all, this is my Huaxia naval force, wouldn't it be a pity if it was all destroyed in our hands!" Then Jin Zhao ordered someone to send a telegram to Chen Shaokuan, warning Chen Shaokuan's naval fleet to leave the coast of Fujian immediately, otherwise he would bear the consequences! In the telegram, Jin Zhao said very politely, my Huaxia Navy has this little bit of family foundation left, please Fu Gong keep some seeds for our Huaxia Navy! Later, Jin Zhao ordered the spies lurking in Fuzhou City to secretly contact Sa Zhenbing and ask Sa Zhenbing to come forward to persuade Chen Shaokuan.

Chen Shaokuan naturally would not be stupid enough to fight his family for the sake of Lao Jiang, and the sinking of the sea-chip ship already made him feel distressed. Under the persuasion of Sa Zhenbing and the warning of Jin Zhao, Chen Shao and the naval fleet honestly withdrew from the coast of Fujian and retreated to the sea of Zhejiang. Only afterwards did he send a telegram to Lao Jiang to inform him of the incident! He claimed that the navy would never sail into the coastal areas of Fujian unless the Central Army could resolve the air threat of the opposing army, and at the same time refused to send a fleet to escort the 47th Division of the Central Army to land in Xiamen.

"Mother, Xipi! Chen Shaokuan was as timid as a mouse, and he was scared away after losing a warship! "After Lao Jiang received Chen Shaokuan's telegram, he scolded angrily." Chen Cheng, where are your troops? ”

Chen Cheng replied honestly, "I have already left Fuzhou and am on the way to Jinxi, but I was attacked and harassed by ** guerrillas along the way, and my actions were slow!" ”

"Rubbish!" Lao Jiang scolded angrily.

"Yes! The headmaster taught me that lowly duties are useless! Chen Cheng replied honestly.

Old Jiang snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to Chen Cheng, but turned to Qian Dajun and asked, "How is the front line of Yanping, hasn't Wei Lihuang taken Yanping yet?" ”

Qian Dajun shook his head and said, "Commander-in-Chief Wei Lihuang reported that the Yanping bandit army is well-equipped and has the air force to help in the war, and the terrain of Yanping City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to take Yanping in a short time. And the main thing is that after several days of repeated battles, the troops are running out of ammunition and urgently need to be replenished! ”

"Niang Xipi!" Lao Jiang couldn't help but scolded loudly, "How to supplement?" The bandit army occupies the main transportation route in northwest Fujian, how can you let me supplement him! Niang Xipi! I can't even deal with a bunch of bandits, what kind of bullshit is this fighting. ”

At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly walked in with a telegram, and then handed the telegram to Qian Dajun. Qian Dajun's face became even more ugly after seeing it, "Principal, Commander-in-Chief Jiang Dingwen sent a telegram saying that more than 30,000 people from the rebel army Weng Zhaoyuan Department have marched south, and now they have arrived in Tong'an and are rushing to Zhangzhou!" Zhangzhou's troops were thin, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang requested that Zhangzhou be abandoned and retreat to Xiamen with shrinking forces! ”

"Mother, Xipi! Jiang Dingwen is also a rice bucket! What five tiger generals, I think it's five rice buckets! Lao Jiang scolded loudly.

Gu Zhutong next to him looked embarrassed, and secretly slandered himself, "What does this have to do with Lao Tzu?" I'm really getting shot while lying down! "But he is not the most innocent, the most innocent is Liu Zhi who is far away in Henan. Gu Zhutong didn't speak, just because he was afraid of being scolded, but he didn't expect to be scolded if he didn't speak, since this is the case, Gu Zhutong spoke boldly, "Principal, the war situation in Fujian is erosive, and it is not a fault of war!" It's all because Jin Zhao is too cunning! ”

Lao Jiang sighed helplessly and said, "Yes! We all underestimated this person before! "Lao Jiang's words are true, who would have thought that Jin Zhao would start secretly developing his forces as early as a year ago and preparing to rebel against the central government! Who would have thought that Jin Zhao would be able to secretly develop such a powerful army. If nothing else, let's talk about the Air Force! It has been developing for several years with the strength of the whole country, but it has only accumulated two or three hundred fighters, of which more than 100 have combat effectiveness. As for Jin Zhao, in just one year, he has developed a powerful air force with dozens of fighters, and it is said that they are all new aircraft, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. Lao Jiang really didn't believe that the hairy boy who stood trembling in front of him more than a year ago had such a lot of energy, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

What a pity! Such talents cannot be used by me! Lao Jiang sighed helplessly in his heart.

Seeing Lao Jiang's gloomy face, Chen Cheng glanced at Gu Zhutong. Gu Zhu secretly scolded Chen Cheng for being shameless, Nima has something to say, you don't say it, and let Lao Tzu be this wicked person. Despite this, Gu Zhutong still said cautiously, "Principal, at present, Jiangxi's ** is frequently transferred, and there seems to be some big moves, and I think that ** is the henchman of the party-state, and we should eliminate ** first!" ”

"You mean to negotiate peace with the Fujian rebel army?" A trace of anger flashed on Lao Jiang's face, and he said displeasedly. (To be continued.) )
