Chapter 166: Armed Intervention (II)
On January 2, 1911, the 26th year of the Republic (1911), in the western Pacific Ocean, the waters of the Truk Islands.
A fleet of "local tyrant gold" with flashing blind dog eyes is training in the ocean near Truk Island. Not only is the paint job impressive, but the variety is also quite good, and the core of the fleet is two dreadnoughts
This is the newly formed Pacific Task Force of the Chinese Navy, which is directly under the Navy Command and is not subordinate to the Three Seas Fleet, and is half a rank lower than the Three Seas Fleet, and their main base is arranged to the Zhoushan Islands.
The main ships of the Pacific task force are: "Fuxi-class" battleships, "Qinling-class" large cruisers, "Qingcheng-class" heavy cruisers, "Zhuhai-class" destroyers, "Wuchang-class" frigates, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships.
That's right, all the capital ships that returned home this time were equipped with the Pacific Task Force. Not only that, but they were also equipped with eight "Zhuhai-class" destroyers that had just entered service. Even the auxiliary ships such as fuel supply ships, ammunition supply ships, minesweepers, maintenance ships, etc., are brand new (some of them were converted from merchant ships, but they were also newly completed). That is, this is a fleet that has been refreshed from head to toe.
The most depressed were the captains of the Three Seas Fleet, who were fighting for the ownership of the six big ships, and they were so noisy that they didn't get any. In accordance with the Central Military Commission's guideline that "new ships should be used in a concentrated manner," these new ships were gathered together and a new Pacific task force was formed.
The commander, political commissar, and chief of staff were all members of the original crew of the first column of the East China Sea Fleet, but in order to balance the psychology of the group, the leading groups of each capital ship were still elite and strong generals drawn from the Three Seas Fleet.
Because the Pacific task force is all cutting-edge ships, this training trip to the waters of the Marshall Islands brought almost all of their belongings out. 18 combat ships, 1o auxiliary ships (including fuel supply ships, ammunition supply ships, merging supply ships, H mine ships, maintenance ships, and hospital ships)
At this time, the fleet was practicing the battle line duel, the four capital ships of Fuxi, Nuwa, Qinling, and Taihang lined up in the battle line, the two heavy cruisers Qingcheng and Emei led eight destroyers to cruise near the battle line, and the four frigates protected the auxiliary ships, and the onlookers were left behind.
"Dense position 12, distance 66o wind 2, wind direction 21o ......" With the command from the flagship, the main turrets of the four capital ships rotated at 6 degrees per second under the action of the motors, and adjusted the firing angle and charge at the same time. After a while, the ships gave a signal of "readiness".
"Report to the commander, please instruct the ships to complete their shooting preparations," the fire controller reported to Gao Yujie.
Gao Yujie nodded and ordered: "A salvo ......"
"Boom...... Boom" The 3o-mm guns and 24 28o-mm guns of the four capital ships suddenly erupted fireworks dozens of meters long, and there was a deafening roar.
More than a dozen kilometers away on the sea surface, there were originally hundreds of conspicuous buoys. These buoys are deliberately formed in an olive core-shaped circle to simulate the top-down shape of a warship. In the middle of and around each circle, there are also more than a dozen ship-like pontoons, which are signal emitters used to display hits.
In just an instant, these simulated targets were flooded with dozens of columns of water...... Although the target was no longer visible to the naked eye, the signal launchers on the pontoons and the radar on the ship faithfully transmitted the results of the shooting.
"Report to the commander, the summary of the hits just now is as follows: 6 hits, 7 close misses......" said the fire controller in an excited tone.
Gao Yujie nodded unchanged and said, "It's a little better than last time......
He was really about to continue giving orders, but suddenly the telegraph officer ran over: "Report to the commander, the headquarters has an urgent telegram ......"
Gao Yujie took a look, her face became gloomy, and she said to the herald: "Immediately order all ships to stop training and change to a sailing formation......"
"Commander, what's wrong?" Captain Gong Yu hurriedly asked.
Gao Yujie handed the telegram to the political commissar and others to circulate it, and said to everyone in the bridge: "The day before yesterday, there was a ** riot in Hanoi, Vietnam, and hundreds of people have been killed. The headquarters ordered us to immediately go to the waters of Vietnam to carry out armed protection ......"
Then, a barrage of orders began to be issued.
"The route is determined, the target is the sea off Cam Ranh Bay, north latitude xx east longitude xx... ̈"
"Combat ships above the destroyer immediately set sail in a cruiser queue, and the degree was raised to 18 knots. The four frigates were responsible for recovering the training equipment and protecting the auxiliary vessels, and then rushed to the sea off Cam Ranh Bay to join the main force......"
With the command from the radio waves, more than ten warships began to move at the same time, only to see them flexibly turn around the ship, draw a white arc on the sea, and the entire fleet turned left at the same time. Then, according to the predetermined position, a long cruiser queue was formed, the two heavy cruisers Qingcheng and Emei rushed forward with two destroyers to form a leading queue, the four capital ships of Qinling, Taihang, Fuxi, and Nuwa lined up in a column in turn, following behind the leading queue, and the remaining six destroyers were located on both sides and behind the main fleet column.
Immediately, this formation, which was several kilometers long, galloped away in the direction of Vietnam with an eighteen knots of chopping waves......
In fact, they can be faster. Although the Fuxi-class battleship is based on the New Mexico-class of the original plane, it has undergone magic modifications, adding a bulbous bow, and changing the stern of the original cruiser to a large square stern, just these two changes can increase the spoon by at least 6-7%. In addition, the underwater line type has also been redesigned, and when the Yankees designed the original version, the fluid lì was just budding, and you can imagine how efficient it can be. The underwater line type of the Fuxi class has undergone a large number of simulation calculations of the small door, coupled with the test of the pool model, so that the degree has been improved.
Finally, there is the propeller, which is usually in the water, which is very inconspicuous, but its impact on navigation is very great. The warships of the Germans were very poorly designed with propellers, and at the same tonnage, the more powerful German ships were more than a section slower than the British ships. However, compared to the high-efficiency propellers of later generations, the British's design at this time was nothing. After returning to China, the six warships including the Fuxi class took advantage of the final outfitting to replace the propellers, and this propeller also underwent small simulation calculations, and the efficiency was at least twice as high as that of the propellers of the same era.
Although the current Fuxi class has not increased in the slightest power, its realism is far greater than that of the design voyage, reaching 2. 6 knots. The Qinling level reached 2 knots, and the fastest Qingcheng level even reached a height close to 2 knots. Because these six warships were built by American shipyards, they were calculated according to the conventions of the time when designing their voyages, plus the old-fashioned propellers used, so there was such a big gap. The Zhuhai-class destroyer is made in China, so its design degree of 3 knots is the real number jù.
That is to say, now the Pacific task force can advance at an altitude of 2 knots, and the reason why it does not run so fast is for the sake of secrecy. Although the Yankees ran out during sea trials. 7 knots, but that was only a sea trial, and the propellers were not changed, and the realism of the Fuxi-class they made themselves was about what knots looked like, but that was enough. Besides, the Yankees are not stupid, nor are they stupid enough to preach the "authenticity" of the Fuxi class everywhere, and they have already sealed the personnel participating in the sea trials
Therefore, in the eyes of the unwitting powers, the current Pacific task force is already very fast in 18 knots. Although the maximum degree is 2 knots, it is impossible to maintain this maximum degree for too long, and the crew will not be able to stand it, and the degree of about 7o% for long-distance voyages is already quite good.
Chengdu Air Base.
"Rookies, listen well" Captain Jin Haihai was training a team of new pilots: "The superior ordered us all to transfer to Wenshan Airport and prepare to arm to protect overseas Chinese." You pay attention, there may be actual combat this time, let me be mental, if anyone forgets what they usually learn in battle, you know ......"
"Don't worry, Instructor Kim. We're going to kick the monkeys and the roosters in the ass," several pilots shouted excitedly.
"Alright, I'll get ready for everything, and I'll be out in twenty minutes. I remind you that this time the transition distance is long and the flight time is relatively long, so hurry up and solve the feces and urine in the net, otherwise you will have to pull in the diaper...... Well, disbanded"
Jin Hai gave an order, and the rookies hurriedly rushed to the toilet.
"Squadron Leader, what are these rookies going for? We still have to be nannies...... "An old bird couldn't help but scream.
"You ask the commander to go, if you don't want to go, you can not go......" Jin Hai gave him a blank look.
Another old bird pretended to be old and said: "It's good for rookies to see blood, but they can't be practiced just by practice......"
Jin Hai looked at his watch and ordered, "Okay, don't talk nonsense." The 2nd squadron has all of them, and they are ready to take off" After saying that, they ran towards their own plane.
Half an hour later, nearly 200 fighters took off from the Chengdu Air Base, and they flew south in a squadron formation in more than a dozen wedges.
Gimhae's squadron flew at the forefront as a lead. He turned on the radio and adjusted the frequency to all: "Rookies pay attention to the Sichuan-Yunnan Railway below, if you accidentally get lost, fly along the railway...... Even if you can't fly to Kunming, you can fly back to Chengdu......"
"Got it, Instructor Kim"
At this time, the voice of an old bird sounded: "Hey, look below, it's our military column...... Oh my god, there's a train cannon, there's a big guy, I see that this time it's more than a game."
Jin Hai stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, there were 2 military trains moving in the direction of Kunming, the distance between the two military trains was about 6 kilometers, the one in front was obviously an armored train, and the one in the back was even more exaggerated, hanging 丨 large-caliber train guns.
"Look at it like this, it should be the -1o mm heavy train gun of the 6th Army...... This should be the first train artillery regiment of our army......" Jin Hai carefully identified it, and then said: "Okay, rookies, don't just look at the ground, beware of falling......"
He was now greeted by the officers and men in the ranks below, and the Air Force planes also waved their wings in response.
