blood feud

After changing the shotgun to the cannon this time, the Flying Dragon 201 cruiser suddenly took on a new look.Especially after changing the main gun, the little devil's light cruiser has no opponents.

At present, it has been able to form a small fleet with the destroyer Feilong 301 (Furong Maru) and the destroyer Feilong 302 (Chaoyan Maru) to undertake offshore combat missions, easing the defensive pressure on the west coast of Pyongyang.

These three warships hid at the Jiaodao Wharf and did not usually go out on patrol.The Flying Tiger Squadron at Jiangnan Airport in Pyongyang provided them with air cover.

Together with the Shi Liancheng [-]st Air Defense Regiment on the shore, they formed two levels of air defense, and they were also a trump card that could directly threaten Anton and Lushun Dalian.

One's own capital is too small, and it is enough to have a certain deterrence.Before there is no submarine escort, there is no need to go out and hang around.This is Bai Shujie's basic guiding ideology, which is the so-called "asymmetric strategy".

Until mid-March 1938, all the refits of the Feilong 3 cruiser, Feilong 201, and 301 destroyers were completed, and Bai Shujie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the combat effectiveness of the land, sea and air forces of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Army has already been formed, and it has been tested by bloody battles for more than ten years.

The Air Force and Navy have a prototype, like a baby.But with a certain foundation, there will be a platform for experiments, and you can continue to accumulate experience.

For example, Bai Shujie’s core shipyard is a group of carefully selected equipment from Dalian Shipyard and Jinzhou Shipyard, and more than 2400 workers and technicians after strict inspection. They have personally refitted three warships. Dimensions of all components are mapped.There are more than 3 drawings just drawn.

Now at the Cangyunli Military Shipyard, these blueprints are enlarged, and another thing is being done at the same time, which is to dismantle a 1917-ton cargo ship, which is what the little devil was captured in Lushun Port.This is a supply ship, built in 31000, with a full load displacement of [-] tons.

Bai Shujie's meaning is very clear. We have captured two [-]-ton freighters in total. If we can't dismantle one, we will dismantle the other one too!

The English word for China is called "China is demolished". How can progress be made without demolition?

Take it apart, put it back together, and take it apart again.The final goal is to use the steam turbines of two 201-ton freighters to "piece together" an enlarged version of the Feilong [-] light cruiser.

It is required that the standard displacement should reach 15000 tons, the full-load displacement should be 18200 tons, the speed of 30 knots, the endurance of 6500 nautical miles, and the weight of armor laying should not be less than 3600 tons.

Not to mention, the technicians of this era can really work hard, it can be said that they are sleepless, which is really commendable.

Because they have all worked under the compulsory management of the little devil for seven or eight years, and have endured various humiliations.Now I have the opportunity to work hard for the country, so I have aroused great enthusiasm for work.

Of course, Bai Shujie didn't expect to achieve it overnight, nor did he expect that the assembled cruiser could actually go to the battlefield.

The key is that he needs a weapon test platform, which is also an experimental training ship, which can be changed into a mobile supply ship or a hospital in the future.

The current tonnage of a light cruiser and two destroyers is too small, and powerful weapons cannot bear it at all.Without carriers and weapon platforms, many ideas cannot become reality.

Of course, during these processes, Bai Shujie transformed himself into a "shipbuilding expert". He was able to draw four sets of standard drawings, which surprised the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of Cangyunli Shipyard!

For Bai Shujie, it is not to guide these real experts, but to broaden their horizons.These four sets of drawings are actually very simple:

British "Exeter" class heavy cruiser (full load displacement 10550 tons): 175 meters long, 17.4 meters wide, 5 meters draft;

Soviet "Chapayev" class cruiser (full load displacement 14100 tons): 199 meters long, 18.7 meters wide, and 6.9 meters draft;

德国的“沙恩霍斯特号”战列巡洋舰（满载排水量38100吨）：长235米，宽30米，吃水9.93米（37303吨）；

The German "Bismarck" battleship (full load displacement 41700 tons): 248 meters long, 36 meters wide, 15 meters deep, designed with a full load draft of 10.2 meters, a speed of 34 knots, and a fuel load of 7400 tons.

Bai Shujie handed over the blueprints to the technicians, and the basic request he put forward was to hope that they would learn more from other people's innovative spirit and not always fix their eyes on their own toes.

"Masters: My consistent principle is that failure can be forgiven, and those who don't want to make progress cannot be forgiven." Bai Shujie said earnestly: "Why is our country lagging behind, and why is it bullied by a little reptile like a little devil? It is because of greed Enjoyment, caused by not thinking about making progress."

"I don't want you to be a blockbuster. I allow you to fail countless times. However, every time you fail, you must figure out why you failed. It is absolutely not allowed to fail twice on the same problem. If one year fails, we will spend two years If two years fail, we will use ten years. As long as we make progress every day, we will succeed."

"I hope you will let go of your minds and don't think that you are so great. The small peasant consciousness that guards against people is better than preventing Sichuan will never achieve anything. Learning from each other, learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses, is the real development. way."

"I am not a stingy person. As long as you are willing to study hard and continue to improve your shipbuilding level, I can pay all the price. If you think it is necessary, even if you dismantle the Dragon 201 cruiser tomorrow, I will not Any comments."

After arranging a study plan in the shipbuilding industry, Bai Shujie finally left the naval base.Because he needs to calm down and consider too many issues, it is impossible to focus on a certain thing.

For example, the second-generation armor-piercing incendiary bomb that was suddenly used this time, although others seemed to be very powerful, Bai Shujie knew that it was not in place at all.Especially after hearing about the bombing, he thought it was too different from what he thought in his heart.

After coming to Pyongyang, Bai Shujie got a large amount of magnesium powder because he accepted the magnesite mine.Therefore, in the second-generation napalm bomb, in addition to Huang Lin, magnesium powder was also added to increase the instantaneous temperature of the explosion and combustion.

Bai Shujie's territory is too small, and his industrial capacity is too weak. He has no way to produce truly high-tech weapon systems for the time being, so he can only look for "good quality and low price" with "simple production process" and "raw materials can be found everywhere". "Great lethal" weapons and ammunition.

Over the years, Bai Shujie has been thinking about it, but there is not enough manpower.This time I came to Pyongyang and brought over 1 young people from Jinzhou, Yingkou, and Dalian, including more than 1000 middle school students.

The Feilong Institute of Physical Chemistry was finally established on the basis that Bai Shujie was also the director.The Institute currently has three main research projects:

Topic [-]: Research on new gunpowder, improve the performance of propellant, and increase the explosive power of shells, bullets, grenades, mines, and grenades.

Topic [-]: Carry out a large number of experiments to find combustible substances that can generate high temperatures, such as magnesium powder and aluminum powder.There is no need to study magnesium powder and aluminum powder, because Bai Shujie understands it very well.The key is that potassium and sodium need to be studied intensively.

Topic [-]: Research on Liquefied Petroleum Gas.Pyongyang is a place full of coal. If you use the equipment of the gas factory to cool and pressurize the gas into liquid, this is the current focus of research.

A kind of bomb that Bai Shujie worked so hard to develop before other countries is the high-energy "cloud bomb"!

He believes that the existing chemical conditions and levels make it impossible to produce large quantities of gunpowder for aerial bombs.In order to solve this problem, Bai Shujie has been imagining the "cloud bomb" since six years ago.

The main charge of cloud explosion bomb is cloud explosion agent, also known as fuel-air explosive.Cloudburst is a high-energy fuel, not an explosive.So it is also called air bomb, fuel-air explosive, oil-gas bomb, etc.

Explosives rely on their own oxygen supply when detonation reactions occur, while cloud bombs detonate by making full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion zone.Under certain detonation conditions, the cloud explosive agent is thrown away, mixed with air and violently exploded, which is called cloud detonation.

Because the cloud detonation will consume the surrounding oxygen, it can form an anoxic area within the range of effect, causing the creatures to suffocate to death.The energy released by cloud blasting agent is much higher than that of explosives of equal mass, and the explosion shock wave produced can destroy military targets in a large area.

During the Gulf War, when a team of British scouts patrolled the border between Iraq and Kuwait, it happened that the U.S. airdropped a heavy cloud bomb to attack a ground target.What the British soldiers reported to the headquarters at the first time was: a certain theater was discovered to be attacked by a nuclear bomb.

Since then, the cloud bomb has also been called a "sub-nuclear weapon". It is the guy second only to nuclear weapons in human history, but it has no nuclear pollution.

Bai Shujie started from researching napalm bombs, and his ultimate goal is to create "cloud bombs".Because little devils like to waste money and people, building strong fortresses and tunnels everywhere.

For example, to the northeast of Pyongyang after crossing the mountain ridge is the Ronan Fortress of the Little Devil, which is in the same model as the Shengshan Fortress in Sunwu County, Heilongjiang.Don't even think about heavy guns with a caliber above 460mm.

Bai Shujie believes that if he directly attacks the Ronan fortress, he must be prepared to sacrifice at least hundreds of people.This is an unprofitable business, and it cannot be done for the time being, so he ordered Chen Jie's second division to establish a defensive position in the Langlin Mountains.

Just because you can't do it temporarily doesn't mean you can't do it forever.Only by taking the Luonan Fortress, controlling Xingnan Port and Wonsan Port, and then taking the Rajin Fortress in the northeast corner, can we talk about controlling North Korea.

Due to the unique killing and blasting performance of the cloud bomb fuel-air bomb, it can be applied to a variety of combat operations, so it naturally becomes Bai Shujie's key research target.

Such as killing combat personnel at support points, artillery positions, assembly areas, etc.; destroying solid fortifications and command posts; eliminating garrison forces on islands and reefs; destroying large targets such as airports, docks, stations, oil depots, and ammunition depots; attacking ships, radars, etc. stand.

This time, the armor-piercing incendiary bomb that Bai Shujie ordered to use in the sudden attack on the Akagi aircraft carrier was gradually approaching the category of cloud bombs.In the napalm bomb, yellow phosphorus, magnesium powder, aluminum powder, potassium and sodium elements are added, so the power is several times higher than the original one.

However, Bai Shujie still wants to go further, hoping to destroy a destroyer with ten 10-kg third-generation napalm bombs, and destroy an aircraft carrier with 500 50-kg third-generation napalm bombs.

The current research has entered a critical period. The third-generation high-power aerial bombs are divided into two types: armor-piercing napalm bombs and high-pressure gas incendiary bombs!

No matter how powerful, you have to knock these bombs over the enemy's head to have any effect.So after Bai Shujie finished building the air force and navy, he is now thinking about the projection carrier.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
