The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

In Zhu Bin's mind, the overall size and organizational structure of the current ocean-going fleet is still unqualified. It can only be said that it is rushed and barely usable. Of course, compared with other countries in the world, it is simply too powerful.

The two aircraft carriers are all two of the four ships built in a batch with the Taishan-class battleship. After the flight deck was expanded, the full-load displacement reached nearly 45000 tons.The biggest change is the flight deck and electromagnetic catapult device that can withstand the take-off and landing of jet fighters. This is also because of the true flagship of the ocean-going fleet --- two [-]-ton displacement supercarriers built together with the Kunlun-class battleship It hasn't been built yet, and the twin-jet carrier-based aircraft to equip them haven't left the factory.

Therefore, under temporary circumstances, the two "Hero Series" Yue Fei-class aircraft carriers can only make do with Flying Shark-e and F29-B Flying Dragon fighters for the time being.Well, at least in Zhu Bin's eyes, this can only make do.

The entry of four Kunlun-class battleships into service can be regarded as meeting the basic requirements of two aircraft carrier formations in peacetime and dispatching together to form a large formation in wartime. They have a strike capability of more than 300 kilometers, whether against the sea, against the ground or against the air, which can be said to be true. powerful meat shield.

The two Yingzhou-class guided missile cruisers also have a similar ratio and undertake the main daily cruise tasks.After all, compared with super battleships, their operating costs are much lower, and it turns out that they also have the ability to cruise the Pacific with a single ship and single-handedly challenge enemy ships to fight in groups.

The next ones are the latest guided missile destroyers and frigates.On the basis of more than a dozen ships originally used by global defense companies, after major changes, most of the naval guns were dismantled, and only one front 127mm dual-mounted high-level dual-purpose gun was retained, and the sea and air were installed. And the fire control radar system, and according to the focus of combat missions are different.The installation of unified missile launchers, rocket pylons, and near-anti-aircraft guns and other main and auxiliary weapons has qualitatively improved the strike radius, strike means, and attack firepower density.

Most importantly, the power system has been updated for these ships.

At the beginning of construction, most of the diesel engines from German technology were used, or steam turbines.The speed and range are quite fast, but the starting speed is not ideal.

In this transformation, all Tesla gas turbines are updated, combined with diesel engines and high-power battery systems, to ensure that each ship can be started within 10 minutes, even if the gas turbine is damaged or the fuel is exhausted, it can still rely on diesel auxiliary engines Or the battery system can barely maintain the movement, so as not to lie on the sea.

Zhu Bin impatiently engaged in dozens of different types of ships, seven large and eight small. The entire destroyer system has been built since its inception.The shape and displacement tonnage have basically not changed much, which greatly helps to ensure the concealment of strength and mislead the enemy.

Of course, on the other hand, it was also because he started too late and was too weak. There were not a hundred destroyers in total. He was not as rich and powerful as Lao Mei, who built a whole model to death.Now that we are working hard, the destroyers are like dumplings.Starting work on the berth at one time is an exaggeration of hundreds of ways.

Of course, Zhu Bin has something to say, is our single-challenge combat power comparable to them?Kind of pull it out and see if it doesn't knock the shit out of them.

In short, the ocean-going fleet stayed on Ryukyu Island and was always on duty.Most of them are new ships, so there is no need to worry about excessive wear and tear caused by overuse, and they will be mobilized immediately with an order.

Such two huge aircraft carrier formations dispatched together, the momentum is huge.It is by no means weaker than Fletcher's task force, and even worse---in terms of tonnage alone, every ship in it, including submarines, is the best of its kind in the world, the largest!

Although the daily security work of the Ryukyu Islands is solid enough, there is no guarantee that no movement will be leaked, especially when the mighty formation crossed the strait and appeared in the Pacific Ocean, the coalition forces that guarded them day and night were quickly captured. News, the task force stationed in the Philippines responded immediately and dispatched urgently to meet the enemy.

As for the nearest islands of Guam and Saipan, as well as the mainland of Japan, they were all jumping like frightened birds. Almost all reconnaissance planes and submarines were dispatched at the same time, watching closely, for fear of being hit by them and bombarded.

The warning telegram was immediately spread across the Pacific region. Everyone in the military base of the coalition forces was in danger. They stayed at the coalition headquarters in Hokkaido, worried that this huge force might cooperate with the army to besiege them. MacArthur almost asked to transfer to up.

In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Admiral Kimmel ordered all the warships moored in the naval port to leave immediately after receiving the information, and even sent a reconnaissance plane 24 kilometers away to search continuously.Wake Island, which is at the forefront, has simply become an investigation center. All kinds of aircraft are in constant rotation [-] hours a day, and they dare not relax at all.

The Pacific Fleet is very unaccustomed to such a mobilizing method.Chief of Staff George Mason asked Kimmel puzzled: "General, is it a bit of a big deal for us to do this? Although the Chinaman's navy has a strong combat effectiveness, it probably doesn't have the ability to travel long distances to attack us? You know, they don't have any supply stations along the way!"

Comparing the map to the calculation, we know that from the Ryukyu Islands to Hawaii, at least it takes more than 4000 nautical miles (nearly [-] kilometers), which is still a straight line.With the fleet moving, in order to hide their whereabouts and evade attacks, they have to make twists and turns, so they have to travel at least [-] kilometers to get there, so they have to go back?

Such a calculation far exceeds the maximum voyage of ordinary ships. With such a large fleet, they can't afford to supply all kinds of supplies alone!

In the Pacific region, all the places that can be used as supply transfer stations have been occupied by the coalition forces. According to the general thinking, it is most reasonable and appropriate for the Chinese to launch counterattacks against the US military and their Asian colonies first.On the one hand, it severely hits the economic and military territory of various countries, causing political pressure, and on the other hand, it can plunder a large amount of strategic resources.

Southeast Asia, the Indonesian archipelago, the Philippines, and the iron mines, coal mines, oil, rubber, copper mines, etc. that have been built are all necessary strategic materials, and they are also the colonial bridgeheads of the coalition forces. If they are defeated, all countries will lose their forward bases. To launch an attack on China, it will have to travel long distances.

Otherwise, it is necessary to capture the important military sites in the Pacific Ocean one by one.Then the nearby Japanese archipelago, Saipan and Guam, South Bird Island, Wake Island, Marshall Islands, etc., a series of fierce competition is imperative.It is inevitable that it will be costly and protracted.

General Kimmel shook his head seriously: "Don't use common sense to judge the strength of the Chinese navy. Don't forget that they once passed through Japan and our fleet across half of the Pacific Ocean! And don't forget that they can take The ability to send people to the mainland of the United States! We have to be careful, Pearl Harbor, there must be no mistakes. This is the strategic core of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, a defensive gateway!"

George Mason still couldn't agree.Although I feel that the irrefutable facts of the examples mentioned by the Commander-in-Chief exist, I am skeptical: "But after all, it is an individual case, isn't it? Now it is a huge fleet!"

Kimmel sneered: "Didn't the Japanese mention their plan for a sneak attack? If they can do it, why can't the Chinese do it? We don't have any conditions to take risks! Now The situation, we are already very passive!"

George Mason immediately had nothing more to say.

That's right, the Japanese did reveal that they had made a well-planned plan to attack the United States, the core of which was.First kill the main force of the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, so that the United States cannot provide long-distance support to Asia.Then calmly clean up all the colonies in the South Pacific.

At that time, the isolated and helpless colonial army will never be able to stop the overwhelming army.It will take at least a year or two before the U.S. Navy regains its strength and wants to retaliate. At that time, they have already grown a lot after taking care of the huge colony.If they confront each other again, it will be a protracted war, and it is really hard to say who will win the battle.

Think about it, the Japanese are so short of resources.Everyone wants to do this, and they are very sure of success. Can the Chinese not think of it?Don't forget that the Japanese are just a very incompetent apprentice of China.

George Mason gritted his teeth unwillingly: "It's just that, we will be very busy. God knows when the Chinese may come over, or where they will attack!"

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, so where is the reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief?The problem is not just Pearl Harbor, but the entire Asia and Pacific region. All of them are tense because of the change of this fleet. Everyone in Britain, the United States, France and Japan wants to keep their territory without suffering losses. Talking about the key point of defense, you have to quarrel countless times.

At that time, the defense everywhere may be weak everywhere. No matter where Zhu Bin strikes, he may easily break through. The long-term vigilance in other areas will inevitably be terribly tired. When the time comes to fight one by one, it may be like a domino. Chain reaction!

How could Admiral Kimmel not know this truth?It's just that the task force's serious injuries and the failure of the last raid made him dare not take any chances. If his own fleet was blocked in the military port and blown up to scrap iron, then there would be no hope at all!

The wind is roaring, and the grass and trees are all soldiers!

It is impossible for the governments of various countries not to know about such a huge movement.The British guy is far away in Europe, busy with Germany's increasingly powerful air attack, and has no time to take care of it. He also thinks that Zhu Bin is not capable of driving the fleet to the Atlantic Ocean. The Japanese are completely ruined. people.

Roosevelt was annoyed by the piles of telegrams, wrangling decision-making content of various countries, and contradictory intelligence information. When the Pearl Harbor action report came, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said to Hopkins: "You Look, the Chinese just released their navy for a while, and we have already messed up before leaving their defense zone. When did the majestic world powers become so cowardly and cowardly What a disgrace!"

Isn't it?The British Empire, the super pirates and warmongers who claimed that the sun never sets, ruled the world for 200 years, and attacked almost all countries in the world, now have no courage at all.

Not to mention the French, the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops happily lining up to surrender to Hitler, who was beaten to surrender in a month, will be forever engraved on the pillar of shame.

The Japanese are very stubborn, but the problem is that their navy is finished, and the mainland is about to become scum, and there is no hope at all.The United States, now so powerful, unprecedentedly rich, full of vigor and confidence, why does it seem so immature?

Hopkins comforted him: "In extraordinary times, it is also necessary to take extraordinary countermeasures. After all, at present, we have no good way to eliminate the Chinese navy."

Roosevelt sneered: "So. Are we going to put all the cities on the west coast on alert? The Chinese have a sea base very close! God knows if they will suddenly launch a landing operation!"

This is obviously an angry word, even a joke.No matter how powerful the Chinese are, it is impossible for them to travel tens of thousands of kilometers from the mainland to attack the mainland of the United States without telling the truth.But obviously, Roosevelt, who is proud and arrogant, can't bear to deal with such an overly cautious approach.

Um.Perhaps, he has a problem with General Kimmel?After this hard-boned old guy came to power, a series of battles and various situations were frequent, which is really not very glorious!Or, is it time to swap him out and bring Nimitz on board for a change?

Hopkins is not sure. The problems facing the United States are very complicated now, and the pressure on Mr. President is increasing.I'm afraid there will be an uproar in public opinion!

It's troublesome enough now, the matter of redeeming the captured soldiers has not been resolved yet.

Not to mention that the Yankees were so entangled and hesitant, Zhu Bin never thought that his actions would cause such a big change.When the information from Hawaii and the United States was fed back, he was a little dumbfounded by the results of the comprehensive analysis. He couldn't believe it and asked: "It really has such a big impact? The most powerful countries in the world organized a group to beat us up. Lao Tzu They started trembling before they even made a move? This is unreasonable!"

Jiang Baili said in his heart that you are arrogant!Don't even think about it.For a long time, whoever took the initiative to attack China, especially the navy, got good fruit?Killing the mighty Japanese navy and defeating the coalition forces twice, they have proved their strength with their strength, and now this powerful armed forces give up defense and counterattack.Start to take the initiative to attack, who can't weigh it!

After such an analysis, Zhu Bin suddenly felt that he was quite capable, and he said happily: "So, we also have the level of opening our mouths to scare and bully? Not bad. We should do more in the future. If you are not happy, just Go out and harass them!"

Jiang Baili and the others were speechless for a moment, and lamented in their hearts, the God of the foreign devils must have fallen asleep, and accidentally let Zhu Bin, a devil-like guy in the world, take advantage of the loopholes and come to this world to make troubles.If it is really possible to send the fleet to Europe or the United States, the foreign devils will collapse sooner or later after repeated tossing, and this battle does not even need to be fought!

It's impossible not to fight!

Since Zhu Bin decided to take the initiative to attack, he couldn't just put on a show, not only had to attack, but also had to be ruthless!

Soon, the worries of the Americans became a reality. Just two days later, in the middle of the night, dozens of missiles suddenly fell from the sky, blowing up the Guam military port, naval base, air force base, Pacific Fleet sub-base and other facilities into a sea of ​​flames!

The powerful sub-warhead cruise missiles used extremely precise and tricky power to patronize all the destroyers and cruisers parked in the port, military bases, and aircraft factories, and even prioritized destroying the radar stations and antennas erected on them. Dozens of planes were also blown to pieces, and the number of casualties was more than 1000!

Saipan, which is not far away, was also attacked by unprecedented violent missiles, killing the radar and the air force. Even if the planes that took off for reconnaissance and patrol escaped, the airport was full of big holes, and there were still a lot of leftovers. The lack of protection of submunitions has greatly affected the emergency repair work.

The U.S. and Japanese troops stationed on the two islands immediately knew what was going on, and the Chinese were coming!In a hurry, he sent out an emergency report while mobilizing the rest of his manpower for a comprehensive defense.According to the order from above, once attacked, it will never be so simple!

They guessed right!The radar just finished, and in less than 15 minutes, the first batch of fighters swarmed in!

It is a carrier-based jf-2 Skyhawk attack aircraft!These guys with a maximum bomb load of 6 tons flew close to the sea, suddenly rose into the air amidst the boiling explosion fireworks, stuck to the treetops and mountain peaks, and launched indiscriminate bombing around the island.

From fifteen kilometers away, first release a bunch of one-ton glide bombs, and accurately name the key targets that have not been destroyed by the missiles, such as ships, arsenals, airports, military camps, etc., followed by rockets and precise small sparrows. The bombs killed the exposed firepower points, and then the powerful machine guns were used to sweep the scattered infantry and armored forces at low altitude, until all the ammunition was emptied, and then Shi Shiran returned.

This series of combined blows took care of all possible counterattack forces. After dozens of jf-2s were mopped up, they were basically useless.

This is not the end!After confirming the destruction of the vital forces of the two islands and sweeping away all the surviving planes in the airspace, the huge fleet marched forward in a mighty manner, and launched a brutal and indiscriminate bombardment with naval guns [-] kilometers away!At least thousands of one-ton armor-piercing shells, grenades, and rockets were tilted upwards, and it was almost impossible to find a whole place before Shi Shiran left.

After copying Saipan and its subsidiary islands one by one, the fleet turned around and passed through the Ogasawara Islands from the north, heading east. On the afternoon of the third day, it used the same method to destroy the passing Japanese troops. The small island and Nanniao Island were blown to pieces!

At this point, their goal of action is very obvious!General Kimmel pointed out very wisely: "The next target of the Chinese attack must be Wake Island! They want to eliminate all possible threats along the way! Gentlemen, there is no need to doubt, they must be aiming at Pearl. From Hong Kong!" (To be continued...)
