Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

naval outlook

Zhang Xueliang, Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Army, Li Zongren, Commander-in-Chief of the Guangxi Faction, Yan Xishan, Commander-in-Chief of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and even the Sichuan Warlords and the Northwest Local Government all sent telegrams of support to the Central Government...>

Facing the real power figures in the country, although Lao Jiang felt very aggrieved, he wished to kill these people with his own hands.However, for the sake of his own dominance in the country, and also for not being scolded as a traitor by others.The aggrieved Lao Jiang had to agree to Li Guosheng's series of requests...>

The Qingdao military port in Nuoda was completely martial law by a battalion under the Qingdao Security Regiment when it was just dawn.Immediately afterwards, almost thirty military trucks drove into the military port.

All officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army Guard Division, Brigade, Regiment, and Battalion, who are responsible for the travel safety of Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, quickly jumped out of the car and lined up in squads.Then, with a murderous look, he took over all the defenses of the entire military port. [

Time passed by every minute and every second, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the entire naval fleet, except for the necessary naval officers and soldiers who were on patrol outside.The remaining 1300 people, all based on their own military branch, formed a square formation one by one, and slowly drove into the Qingdao Military Port Training Ground, which has been completely martialized.

In less than half an hour, six huge phalanxes of the naval fleet had assembled in Nuoda's training ground.Looking around, the officers and soldiers in white navy uniforms are like sculptures standing on the ground, motionless.

And at this moment, a car whistle sounded very abruptly from the entrance and exit of the training ground.All the middle and senior officers of the Navy Fleet who had been standing in front of the "chairman" platform in the training ground quickly adjusted their uniforms as if they had been injected with chicken blood.then.Under the leadership of the commander, Colonel Sun Haijun, they rushed to the entrance and exit of the training ground.

Three majestic armored combat vehicles lead the way.Two imported cars with original packaging were in the center, followed by more than a dozen domestically-made military trucks full of guards.A huge convoy so heavily guarded.Under the eyes of Sun Haijun and others, "Squeak...>

Officers at all levels of the naval fleet headed by Sun Haijun subconsciously walked to the side of the two cars.

Sun Haijun, the commander of the fleet, walked to the first car in person, opened the door respectfully, and greeted his immediate superior, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, Li Guosheng, out of the car.

Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng got out of the car.Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who was sitting in the last car, followed closely behind, got out of the car, and walked behind Li Guosheng.

Seeing Li Guosheng and Jiang Baili standing in front of him, a group of naval officers headed by Sun Haijun did not dare to neglect in the slightest. They quickly saluted and reported loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the chief of staff. All officers and soldiers of the naval fleet are ordered to Come and meet...>

For such a huge welcoming scene in front of him, in his previous life, Li Guosheng had come up step by step from a grassroots officer.It can be said to be very disgusting.Because he deeply understands a sentence: a word from the leader will cause the subordinates to lose their legs.Deep chill in here.

However, as his status in the Republic of China became higher and higher.There are more and more greetings and sendings that I have experienced.I am slowly getting used to this bad habit of Chinese people who cannot be changed at all.

After quickly glanced at the expectant navy officer in front of him.Li Guosheng didn't want to sweep away everyone's nature, so he nodded with a smile on his face.He opened his mouth and said, "Commander Sun, you did a good job, all the marines are here...>

After the work was confirmed, Navy Commander Sun Haijun said confidently: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, except for a squadron of offshore gunboats patrolling along the coastline. Your arrival."

Li Guosheng nodded, and said approvingly: "Very good...>

Of course, Jiang Baili, the chief of staff who was following behind Li Guosheng, did not have the slightest opinion.He nodded and responded to Sun Haijun: "Commander Sun, let's get started and go to the rostrum right away. Today I will read the report of the General Command of the Ninth Army and the Central Government in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Navy. 』A series of reward commands...>

A burst of warm applause rang out on the training ground. Under the signal of Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, under the gaze of all naval officers, opened the folder in his hand and read aloud.

"Deliberated by the General Headquarters and reported to the central "government" for approval. Decision: Promote Sun Haijun to the rank of major general and continue to serve as the commander of the naval fleet under the Ninth Army...>

"Lieutenant Colonel He Zhongyi was promoted to the rank of colonel and served as the captain of the First Squadron of the Navy Fleet...>

"Promoted the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Qi Yong to Colonel and served as the captain of the Submarine Brigade under the Navy Fleet...>

"Promote Fang Shuyi to the rank of colonel, and serve as the captain of the speedboat brigade under the naval fleet...>

In the entire naval fleet, all officers above the school level, without exception, were publicly promoted and commended at the conference.

Of course, for officers below the school level, there are too many people who need to be commended.Although there was no public promotion and commendation, those whose military rank should be promoted were still promoted.Even the most ordinary naval officers and soldiers, even if they didn't get promoted, won a generous reward in this commendation.

More than 1000 officers and soldiers of the naval fleet left the venue one after another with excitement and joy of harvest.Under Li Guosheng's order, all officers above the rank of squadron captain of the entire naval fleet gathered in the conference room of the naval headquarters.

Seeing in front of him, a dozen officers, big and small, smiling all over their faces because of their military rank promotion.Li Guosheng, who was still smiling a few minutes ago, was now shrouded in seriousness.

Seeing Li Guosheng's sudden change of expression, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became serious.

With a pair of sharp eyes, he quickly scanned around a dozen middle and senior officers representing the size of the entire naval fleet, and Li Guosheng asked back with a half-smile.

"The three consecutive naval battles against the Japanese navy ended in our victory. Do you already think that the naval fleet under our Ninth Army is strong enough to withstand the attack of the entire Japanese combined fleet...>

As a mid-to-high-ranking officer in the navy, he faced the opponents he had to face in the future.That is, the understanding of the Japanese navy is undoubtedly one of their compulsory courses.Hearing Li Guosheng's slightly mocking question.A dozen or so people seemed to have been splashed with cold water.Suddenly woke up from the excitement.

As naval officers who have personally experienced these three naval battles, they are very clear: in the three naval battles that have just ended, the reason why they were able to win, without exception, was the use of the "combination of odd and positive" tactics.Without the secret weapon of submarines, there would be no unexpected participation of Air Force bombers.It is certain that the result of the three naval battles must have ended in his own disastrous defeat.

Faced with Li Guosheng's gaze on himself and the others, more than a dozen officers of the navy fleet, big and small, all looked on.Immediately, he showed a shameful expression.Naval Commander Sun Haijun first said: "Commander-in-Chief, I have requested punishment from the General Command. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, I failed to restrain the soldiers under my command and let the soldiers develop a feeling of underestimating the enemy and being proud...>

As soon as Sun Haijun's voice fell, a dozen or so naval officers with shame on their faces stood up from their seats and said seriously: "Please punish the commander-in-chief...>

Seeing that the commander-in-chief finished beating the naval officer, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said.It sounded very timely: "Commander-in-Chief, since everyone has realized their mistakes, look, are we going directly to the topic of this meeting..."

Li Guosheng nodded. The special teacher read the full text.The serious facial expression also gradually eased down.He opened the mouth and said: "Since the chief of staff is speaking for everyone, then this question will stop here. However, I hope that from now on, within my Ninth Army, I will no longer see anyone thinking of underestimating the enemy. Whether it is a battle What kind of enemy, we must remember one sentence: Despise the enemy strategically. Pay attention to the enemy tactically, are you clear...>

"Yes, Lord Commander...>

After waving his hands and gesturing for everyone to return to their seats, Li Guosheng said again: "Brothers, there is a reason why everyone is called here."

"I believe that many of us present here have had contact with the Japanese, and we are very aware of the character of the Japanese who are vindictive. In this naval battle, our naval fleet, in front of people all over the world, slapped It was a resounding slap from the Japanese "government". I can say with certainty that with the "nature" of the Japanese, they will never let it go."

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Li Guosheng continued to speak: "Since the Japanese 'government' will not let it go, the Japanese 'government' military retaliation against our naval fleet will come to us sooner or later. Therefore, from From now on, our navy must enter a state of readiness for military retaliation that may be launched by the Japanese at any time... >

The faces of more than a dozen naval officers suddenly became serious.

In the naval battle a few days ago, although he won.However, everyone understands that more than half of the credit for this victory was achieved by the Air Force Bomber Battalion.After the naval battle a few days ago, the Japanese navy, which sent troops to retaliate, will definitely learn a lesson and prepare.At that time, air force bombers may not be able to play such a big role.

Without the help of air force bombers, can the navy alone fight against the larger fleet of the Japanese navy?

Without exception, the faces of more than a dozen military officers and officers in the conference room all showed very ugly expressions.Obviously, everyone here is not very optimistic about the Japanese navy's next military retaliation.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said: "What's the matter, this is, I see everyone's expression now, as if a relative has died, and they are not optimistic about our own fleet...>

He saw Sun Haijun sitting directly opposite him, hesitating to speak.Jiang Baili waved his hand directly, and said: "Everyone seriously recall the few naval battles we have experienced. That battle was not carried out when the enemy was strong and we were weak. And the final result: as the weak side, we will not They all won...>

"Here, let me tell you the truth. In the face of a possible new round of military retaliation by the Japanese "government", our Ninth Army will also win the final victory. Of course, there is another crucial factor in this, that It is everyone's morale. As long as everyone has confidence, the final victory will belong to us... >

A dozen large and small officers representing the Ninth Army's naval fleet, with a pair of eyes.A fiery gaze flashed quickly.Keep an eye on Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and wait for the next article.

Jiang Baili did not disappoint everyone.He smiled and said, "Next. This is the topic of our meeting...>

"First of all, the Commander-in-Chief, please announce a new appointment to everyone...>

The gazes of a dozen people quickly focused on Li Guosheng.Li Guosheng, who was sitting on the main seat, directly showed a confident smile, and said: "The naval battle a few days ago, let us all see the importance of the air force in the naval battle. So, the next step The appointment is related to the Air Force...>

"After the research and decision of the Group Army General Command, the Naval Aviation Regiment was established under the Navy Command. Colonel Jia Yuwen, the deputy division commander of the Air Force's First Aviation Division, was appointed as the first head of the Naval Aviation Regiment. After the establishment of the Naval Aviation Regiment, it has a total of one reconnaissance aircraft Squadron, a battalion of dive bombers, a battalion of torpedo attack aircraft...>

"According to the production speed of the military industry group under the group army, all the equipment of the Naval Aviation Regiment will be ready within three months at the latest. As for the members of the Naval Aviation Regiment, they will all be dispatched by the First Aviation Division of the Air Force. After the establishment of the Naval Aviation Regiment, the resident At Qingdao Military Airport…>

"Papa...>

But at this moment, Commander Sun Haijun was puzzled.Immediately afterwards, the conference room sounded: "Commander-in-Chief, what is a dive bomber, and what is a torpedo attack aircraft...>

Li Guosheng waved his hand, motioned Sun Haijun to sit down, and said, "The dive bomber. It was improved based on the various shortcomings exposed by ordinary bombers during this battle. After improvement, the dive bomber The hit rate of the aerial bombs dropped by the bombers has directly reached an astonishing [-]%. In addition, after the dive bombers are equipped with the troops, the armor-piercing aerial bombs produced by the military-industrial group will be used. At that time, as long as these bombs hit the deck of the enemy ship, the weight will An aerial bomb of two hundred kilograms can directly penetrate the deck of a ship and explode inside the ship...>

"A torpedo attack aircraft, as the name suggests, is to use a bomber as a carrier to drop torpedoes from the air to enemy ships on the sea. Use torpedoes to attack enemy ships from underwater...>

Sun Haijun, who witnessed the naval battle a few days ago, can't forget the powerful combat effectiveness of the bomber in the naval battle.But now, he actually heard the commander-in-chief tell himself: In the near future, the naval fleet under his command will also form an aviation unit whose combat effectiveness is stronger than the bomber brigade he has seen.A pair of eyes quickly flashed a fiery look.Facing Li Guosheng, he promised loudly.

"Commander-in-Chief, I can confidently say: As long as these naval aviation units are equipped with the navy, the combat effectiveness of our naval fleet will be directly more than doubled...>

Looking at the excited Sun Haijun and others, Li Guosheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Commander Sun, you are too unprogressive. Double your combat power, you will be so happy. To tell you the truth, today the Chief of Staff and I Come here, but to increase the combat effectiveness of the naval fleet several times.

"Several times the combat power...>

Li Guosheng nodded, and said to everyone: "Yes, it is several times the combat power. As for how to increase it, the chief of staff will give you a detailed introduction...>

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, under everyone's gaze, cleared his throat and said, "Before I give you a detailed introduction, I will announce another appointment to you: After the research and decision of the General Command, the appointment of the former commander of the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy Colonel Ling Xiao is the captain of the Second Squadron of the Naval Fleet under the Ninth Army..."

Sun Haijun immediately came to his senses and subconsciously asked: "Second Squadron, sir, you mean, we will have surface ships again...>

Jiang Baili smiled, agreeing with what Sun Haijun said.Then, under the expectant eyes of all the naval officers and soldiers, he said: "The two heavy cruisers and three destroyers ordered by the Ninth Army in the United States half a year ago are expected to be officially delivered to our naval fleet at the end of next month. By then , each squadron under our naval fleet will have one of the latest heavy cruisers and three of the latest destroyers... >

"Not only that, the second squadron of the submarine brigade, which has been studying and training in Germany, will officially return to Qingdao's home port before the end of this month. At that time, our submarine brigade will also have two submarine combat squadrons...>

"Finally, let me tell you some good news: the commander-in-chief decided to spend a lot of money to import all the equipment and technology of a large shipyard from Germany to build the first large-scale shipyard under our army that integrates civilian and military use in Dalian. Here, I can tell everyone with certainty that once the shipyard is officially in operation, destroyers and light cruisers below the [-]-ton class, our Ninth Army, can completely self-produce."

I saw all the naval officers, without exception, full of expectations for the future of the navy.Jiang Baili changed the subject, and said: "Brothers, the future of our Ninth Army's naval fleet is full of hope. However, there are many difficulties encountered. Everyone knows that whether it is expanding the navy or establishing shipbuilding Factory and talents are necessary...>

"Everyone is from the Navy. I believe that all of you here must have many friends or colleagues from all over the country. For the future of my Ninth Army Navy Fleet, and for the future of my Chinese Navy, I hope everyone can do their best. Do your part. While working hard to train soldiers, help us recruit more talents... >
