Chapter 166 Armed Intervention (2)
On October 2, 26th year of the Republic (19ll AD), the Western Pacific Ocean, the Truk Islands.
A fleet of "Rich Gold" who was blinding the eyes of dogs was training on the ocean near Truk Island. This fleet not only had a brilliant painting, but also had a great variety. As the core of the fleet are two super-dreadnought ships
This is the newly formed Pacific Special Mixed Fleet by the Chinese Navy. The fleet is directly under the Navy Command and is not affiliated with the Sanhai Fleet. Its level is half a level lower than that of the Sanhai Fleet. Their main base is arranged to the Zhoushan Islands.
The main ships of the Pacific Special Mixed Fleet are: the "Fuxi-class" battleship, the "Qinling-class" large cruiser, the "Qingcheng-class" heavy cruiser, the "Zhuhai-class" destroyer, the "Wuchang-class" frigate, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships.
That's right, all the main battleships returned to China were equipped with the Pacific Special Mixed Fleet. Not only that, eight newly entered service "Zhuhai-class" destroyers were also equipped with them. Even the fuel supply ships, ammunition supply ships, minesweepers, maintenance ships and other auxiliary ships were brand new (some of them were modified with merchant ships, but they were also completed soon). In other words, this is a fleet that has been completely renewed from head to toe.
The most depressing thing is the leaders of the Three Seas Fleet. They fought for the ownership of the six major ships and blushed in the face, but no one got it. According to the Central Military Commission's guidelines of "new ships should be used in a concentrated manner", these new ships were gathered together and a new Pacific special-mix fleet was formed.
The commander, political commissar, and chief of staff were all the original teams of the first column of the East China Sea Fleet. However, in order to balance everyone's psychology, the leadership teams of each main battleship were still elite soldiers and powerful generals drawn from the Three Sea Fleet.
Because the Pacific Special Mixed Fleet is all new ships, this time I went to the Marshall Islands to train, I almost brought out all my belongings. 18 combat ships, 10 auxiliary ships (including fuel supply ships, ammunition supply ships, cow supply ships, H-thunder ships, maintenance ships, hospital ships)
At this time, the fleet was practicing a battle line duel. The four main battleships of Fuxi, Nuwa, Qinling and Taihang were arranged in battle line. Two heavy cruisers in Qingcheng and Emei led eight destroyers to cruise near the battle line, and the four frigates protected the auxiliary ships to land behind as onlookers.
"The secret position 12, the distance is 660 and the wind speed is 2, the wind direction is 210..." With the command from the flagship, the main turrets of the four main battleships rotated at a speed of 6 degrees per second under the action of the motor, and adjusted the firing angle and charge at the same time. After a while, each ship sent a "ready" signal.
"Report to the commander, please instruct the shooting of each ship after the preparation of the shooting," the fire controller reported to Gao Yujie.
Gao Yujie nodded and ordered: "A round of volleys..."
"Boom...Boom boom" The 30mm main guns and 24 280mm main guns of the four main battleships immediately sprayed out dozens of meters of fireworks, making a deafening roar.
On the sea surface more than ten kilometers away, hundreds of conspicuous buoys were originally distributed. These buoys were deliberately surrounded by olive karyo circles to simulate the shape of a warship. There were also more than a dozen buoys with the same shape as ships in the middle and around each circle, which were signal transmitters used to show the hit situation.
In just a moment, these simulated targets were flooded by dozens of water columns... Although the naked eye could not see the target clearly, the signal transmitter on the float and the radar on the ship faithfully passed on the shooting results.
"Report to the commander, the hit situation just now is summarized as follows: 6 hits, 7 rounds are close to missing..." The fire controller said in an excited tone.
Gao Yujie nodded with a constant expression and said, "It's a little better than last time..."
He really wanted to continue to issue orders, and suddenly the translator ran over: "Report to the commander, the headquarters urgently sent a telegram..."
Gao Yujie took it and looked at it. Her face suddenly became gloomy. She said to the messenger: "Immediately order each ship to stop training and change it to a sailing formation..."
"Commander, what's wrong?" Captain Gong Yu asked hurriedly.
Gao Yujie handed the telegram to the political commissar and others for circulating it, and said to everyone in the bridge: "The day before yesterday, an anti-China riot occurred in Hanoi, Vietnam, and hundreds of people have been killed. The headquarters ordered us to go to the Vietnamese waters immediately to arm the protection of overseas Chinese..."
Then, a series of commands began to be issued.
"The route is determined, the target is outside the sea of Cam Ran Bay, north latitude XX east longitude XX…¨"
"The combat ships above the destroyer immediately set sail in cruise queues and their speed increased to 18 knots. The four frigates were responsible for recycling training equipment and protecting auxiliary ships, and then rushed to the coast of Jinlan Bay to meet with the main force..."
With the command from the radio waves, more than ten warships began to move at the same time. They flexibly turned the head of the ship, drew white arcs on the sea surface, and the entire fleet turned left at the same time. Then, according to the predetermined position, they formed a long cruiser queue. The Qingcheng and Emei two heavy cruisers led two destroyers to emerge and form a leading queue, the four main battleships, Qinling, Taihang, Fuxi and Nuwa, lined up in columns in sequence, following behind the leading queue, and the other six destroyers were located on both sides and behind the main fleet.
Immediately, this formation that lasted several kilometers was galloping towards Vietnam at a speed of eighteen knots...
In fact, they can be faster. Although the Fuxi-class battleship is based on the New Mexico-class in the original time and space, it has been modified by magic, adding a bulbous bow, and changing the original cruiser stern to a large square stern. Just these two changes can increase the speed by at least 6-7%. In addition, the underwater line type has also been redesigned. When the Americans designed the original, the fluid mechanics had just sprouted, so how efficient it could be. The Fuxi-class underwater line type has undergone a lot of simulation operations by Xiao Feidong, coupled with the pool model test, so the speed has been improved.
Finally, there is the propeller. This thing is usually in the water and is very inconspicuous, but it has a great impact on speed. The German warships are very poorly designed, and at the same tonnage, the German ships with greater power are more than one junction slower than the British ships. However, compared with the many high-efficiency propellers in later generations, the British design at this time is nothing. After returning to China, six warships including Fuxi class replaced the propeller while they were finally equipped. This propeller also undergoes simulation operations by Xiaofeiou, and its efficiency is at least twice as high as that of the propeller of the same era.
Although the power of the Fuxi class has not increased at all, its real speed far exceeds the designed speed, reaching 2.6 knots. The Qinling class has reached 2 knots, and the fastest Qingcheng class has even reached a high speed of nearly 2 knots. Because these six warships were built by American shipyards, the design speed was calculated according to the convention at the time, and the old-fashioned propellers were used, so there is such a big gap. The Zhuhai-class destroyer is manufactured in China, so its design speed is 3 knots.
In other words, the Pacific Special Mixed Fleet can advance at a height of 2 knots now, and the reason why it doesn't run so fast is to keep it secret. Although the Americans ran a speed of 7 knots during the sea test, it was just a sea test, and there was no propeller replacement. The real speed of Fuxi-level they made themselves is about the way they were, but that's enough. Besides, the Americans are not stupid, nor are they stupid enough to promote the "real speed" of Fuxi-level everywhere. They have already sealed the people who participated in the sea test.
So in the eyes of the uninformed powers, the current Pacific Special Mixed Fleet is already very fast at 18 knots. Although the maximum speed is 2 knots, this maximum speed cannot be maintained for too long, and the crew will not be able to stand it. The speed of about 70% of the long-distance voyage is already quite good.
Chengdu Air Force Base.
"Rookies, listen well." Captain Jinhai was training a team of new pilots: "The superior ordered all of us to transfer to Wenshan Airport and prepare to arm the overseas Chinese. Please note that there may be actual combat this time, so let me be more energetic. If anyone forgets what he usually learns in the battle, you will understand..."
"Don't worry, Instructor Jin. We will kick the monkeys and roosters in the butts," several pilots shouted excitedly.
"Okay, prepare everything for me and set off in twenty minutes. I remind you that this time the transition is long and the flight time is relatively long. Hurry up and get rid of the feces and urine, otherwise you will have to pull it in the diapers...Okay, disband."
At Jin Hai's order, the rookies rushed to the toilet.
"Squadron leader, what are these rookies going to? 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't go..." Jin Hai gave him a blank look.
Another old bird pretended to be a mature person and said, "It is good for rookies to see blood, but you can't practice it alone..."
Jin Hai looked at his watch and ordered, "Okay, don't be nonsense. The 2nd squadron has everything, everyone will prepare to take off." After that, he ran towards his own plane.
Half an hour later, nearly 200 fighter jets took off from Chengdu Air Force Base. They were lined up in squadrons and flew southward in a dozen wedge formations.
Jinhai's squadron flew in front as the leading guide. He turned on the radio and turned the frequency to the whole: "Rookies, please pay attention to the Sichuan-Yunnan Railway below. If you accidentally go to the railway, you will fly along the railway... Even if you can't fly to Kunming, you can still fly back to Chengdu..."
"I know, Instructor Jin"
At this time, an old bird's voice sounded: "Hey, look below, it's our military train... Oh my god, there are train cannons, there are big guys, I saw that this time it was going to be more than one battle."
Jin Hai stretched out his head and saw that there were two military trains driving towards Kunming below. The two military trains were about 6 kilometers apart. The one in front was obviously an armored train, and the one in the back was even more exaggerated, with a large-caliber train cannon.
"Looking at this, it should be the Army's -10mm heavy train cannon... This should be our army's first train cannon regiment..." Jin Hai carefully identified it and said, "Okay, novices, don't just look at the ground, be careful to fall..."
