Chapter 390 Weapons of Poor Countries
Mines and submarines!
Feng Quan’s suggestions on how to develop the Navy of the Republic of China are very scientific. Although China is much more abundant in its journey through Billys, it will be donated to hundreds of millions of oceans, but for China, which is poor and has a poor foundation, even if
It's not a drop in the bucket, at most it's just a timely help.
Although 1933 was the 22nd year of the Republic of China and Jiang Gong was the number one person in China for several years, there was still a rhythm that government orders did not go beyond the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
The Nanjing National Government was unable to accept various taxes from places outside Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and all departments even reached out to Mr. Chiang.
In recent times, although the Japanese have been much quieter than before, the money for raising soldiers is almost like a bottomless pit.
When people usually describe the various expenses of raising soldiers, they often say that raising soldiers for a thousand days is to use soldiers for a while. Even in peacetime, so many soldiers' food, drink, defecation, urination, and sleep will cost a lot of money.
Even if it is a simple training, a unit will cost a lot of money to travel from one place to another.
Not to mention the distance, just take the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War as an example. The 17th Army of the Central Army had to travel from various places to the Great Wall front, but the order was over for so long, and the troops had not moved. The reason was that they were very confused about the various expenses along the way.
!!
It’s a bit tired to raise a unit in peacetime, and the various expenses during the war are even more shocking. The cannon fires, and the gold is ten thousand taels!
Without Feng Quanjiang, it would be really difficult to maintain a force without Feng Quanjiang's wealth. This is still for the Republic of China, which has almost no navy and air force.
Now the navy only has small gunboats and patrol boats that cannot be placed on the table. If you really encounter battleships and heavy cruisers from island countries, it will be a rhythm of a mantis armed mantis chariot.
There is an idiom that describes battleships, that is, ships are strong and cannons are sharp. Ship is strong, which means that the armor thickness of battleships is particularly amazing. Even if they are bombarded continuously by cannons or bombers with a caliber of hundreds of millimeters for a whole day, they may not be attacked.
Sink!
Not to mention the cannon, a naval gun with a caliber of about 400 mm is not a joke. If you shoot one shot, the shells will definitely have no bones within the killing radius.
Calculated based on the kill distance of absolutely deadly shrapnel, the kill radius of 105mm is mostly about 10 meters to meters; the kill radius of 122mm is about 15 meters to 25 meters; the kill radius of 152mm and 155mm is mostly about 30 meters; the new 155mm
The killing radius reaches 30 meters to 60 meters.
The killing radius of 3mm reaches 30 meters to more than 60 meters
; The killing radius of 240mm should be more than 60 meters...
The above is just the killing radius. If you want to talk about the flight distance of shrapnel, some can even reach 0-300 meters! This is what I usually say about a football field with one shot and half a football field.
The main guns of battleships, which are often converted into shore cannons or fortress cannons, are even more powerful. It is difficult for Chinese small boats to hold a shell they fire.
......
The ten-year Air Force and the hundred-year Navy are about a country with sufficient financial resources. They buy or build aircraft and warships themselves, but they also have enough training time to form combat effectiveness.
Whether it is an aircraft or a warship, just the usual training and maintenance, the Republic of China that has just developed is absolutely unable to bear it.
Mr. Jiang accidentally mentioned the Navy to his most admired subordinate Feng Quan. He did not expect Feng Quan's answer to be so scientific. Thinking of the above, Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up and he nodded constantly.
"Hahaha, Zigong, as far as I know, your Zhongtiaoshan Security Corps has neither an air force nor a navy. But you have made suggestions to me to let the Party and the country consider mines and submarines more and be specific
What should I tell you?"
At this moment, Feng Quan, who was familiar with the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, remembered the very tragic battle of Jiangyin during the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance.
The Battle of Jiangyin is part of the defense of Jiangyin. From the beginning of the Jiangyin War on August 16, 1937 to the loss of the Jiangyin defense line on December 2, 1937, it took a total of 108 days, making it a rare three-dimensional amphibious land, sea and air in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The only naval battle during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Some of the fleets that have been terrifying the borders of China for many years have sunk in Yantai, while all the main forces have sunk in Jiangyin, which is the biggest loss since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
Although the Battle of Jiangyin failed, the battle to defend the Jiangyin blockade stopped the Japanese army's attempt to advance west along the Yangtze River, shattered the arrogant Japanese army's dream of destroying China for three months, protected all the party, government and military organs in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and industrial and mining enterprises went to Sichuan.
The safe transfer of the rear made outstanding contributions to the final victory of the National Government in the war of resistance with space for time!
The main force of the Chinese Kuomintang Navy suffered almost complete losses in this battle. Since then, the Chinese Navy, which was in name only, could no longer organize a fleet to fight against the island country, and retreat to the mainland to carry out mine-laying and other consumption operations.
These also lead to the vast majority of related works or comments directly claiming that during World War II, there was no such thing as the Chinese Navy!
The Battle of Jiangyin and the resistance of the Chinese Navy was not uncommon, but also caused considerable losses to the Japanese army. For a long time, the smooth flow of the Yangtze River channel was ensured, making Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Wuhan and other places.
A large number of factories, enterprises and personnel were able to retreat to the mainland, creating favorable conditions for the long-term war of resistance.
However, the navy was defeated, and it was defeated so miserably: it could not stop the Japanese army from landing on the coastal ports of China and attacking the imperial capital of Nanjing along the Yangtze River, but it also suffered heavy losses. It is often sighing.
Summarizing the experiences and lessons learned not only helps to analyze the combat experience of the Kuomintang naval in the War of Resistance, but also undoubtedly has great practical significance for naval construction during the Republic of China.
Most of the reason why China's navy failed was its weak national strength. The second reason was the betrayal of the traitor Huang Jun. If he hadn't revealed the military committee's combat plan to the island country, perhaps the weak China's navy could not turn defeat into victory.
, but with the right time, place, people and other things, it can also severely damage the island country once.
The third reason is that the combat plan of the Jiangyin Naval Battle is not very scientific. For various reasons, for example, a small group of naval generals whose interests in the motherland are lower than their own power, they ignore the overall situation and fight for power and profit in various ways, and do not choose the cheap and affordable Shuimue Fengjiang.
!!
"Principal, the students feel that our Chinese navy is still too weak to compete with island countries' battleships or aircraft carriers.
In this case, why not choose to settle for the second best? When the island country is in full swing with the Chinese war, it is better to arrange a large number of mines in various strategic locations. If the arrangement of the Jiangzi can not only preserve its strength, but also bring great trouble to the island country.
Therefore, the students boldly suggest that the principal should make or buy a large amount of mines, and order the relevant departments to learn more about how to build mines!"
At the end, Feng Quan stood up excitedly, his face flushed red. Mr. Jiang waved his hand and signaled him to sit down.
"Well! Zigong, your proposal is very good and very constructive. I will hold a national defense and military meeting in a few days to discuss this matter. By the way, didn't you suggest me to buy a submarine just now? Are you swollen?
Think about it, talk about your thoughts.”
In fact, Feng Quan had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Chiang Gong about the achievements of the German submarines that were very handy in the use of submarines during World War II.
Tigers are also afraid of wolves. There are many lethal beasts in nature, but they will shudder when they encounter bloodthirsty wolves. Under the repeated siege of wolves, even the tigers of the king of beasts
Or lions or something can't stand it.
The reason why the German naval general, General Denitz, was called "wolf head" by the outside world during World War II was because he pioneered the "wolf pack tactics" of naval battles, which made the German Navy's achievements in the early stages of World War II extremely brilliant.
The "Wolf Pack Tactics" and General Guderian's "blitzkrieg" are also known as the two major "magic weapons" of the Nazi German team.
The so-called wolves tactic is to form a small team of multiple submarines and launch various underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships like wolves.
When using the "Wolf Pack Tactics", concentrate several submarine forces to attack a maritime target, and use the attack power of several submarines to destroy heavy ships.
The German Navy used the "wolf pack tactic" to organize groups of submarines to attack the Allied's maritime ships, destroying the Allied's maritime transportation lines, causing the Allied forces to suffer significant losses.
Specific methods of wolf pack tactics:
During the operation, a "wolf-headed" ship is used to direct the unified operation of the "pack of wolves". Generally, several ships are sent to hunt at sea. When the target is discovered, underwater tracking is carried out immediately.
Wolves generally choose to attack at night. Each submarine in the wolf pack approaches secretly from the gap or flanks of the opponent's frigate, and then these submarines launch attacks on the same target at the same time.
In this way, the hit rate will be improved, and even several torpedoes can hit the same target at the same time.
Therefore, "wolf pack tactics" can achieve great combat effects, and "wolf pack tactics" is named. But later, because the Allies adopted a timely escort system, coupled with the increasing skill of the Allies' anti-submarine technology, the wolf was made
Group tactics are gradually eliminated.
......
"Principal, submarines can be said to be the self-defense dagger for weak countries and also the deterrent weapon for strong countries!
For weak countries, submarines have extremely strong concealment, can save themselves to the greatest extent, and can also increase their survival time in war.
Our China also has many surface ships, but compared with the island countries, it is still too small in all aspects. To put it bluntly, it has a vulnerable rhythm.
Once the war breaks out in full swing, the possibility of these warships survival is extremely low, so students believe that the only force that can be used to counterattack the island country's navy is submarines.
Of course, the submarine will definitely not be able to strike the powerful warship formation head-on, but because the enemy is difficult to detect, students believe that its impact is even greater than that of the popular aircraft carriers nowadays!”
