The Republic of Heroes

Chapter 228 Giant Ship Cannon

And it is a super naval gun with a caliber of more than 300 mm. The two (0 mm caliber naval guns in the Highland Fortress are incomparable in terms of sound and vibration. Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoliang's face turns green, because if so There is only one possibility for large-caliber naval guns. There are dreadnought battleships cruising in the bay outside Vladivostok, and there is only one country with such battleships in the entire Far East, and that is Japan!

The Soviet Russian siege army obviously noticed Wu Xiaoliang's men and horses, and immediately sent scout cavalry to watch from a distance. Wu Xiaoliang didn't intend to meet with him face to face, so he ordered the troops to move closer to the seaside. Come, let him feel more heavy.

When he came to the seaside, Wu Xiaoliang saw giant steel ships cruising on the sea from a distance, the Japanese Navy Sun Army flag fluttered in the wind, extremely arrogant, the towering chimneys billowed thick black smoke, and the double-mounted former master The turret turned slowly, reached the predetermined position and stopped, the huge muzzle suddenly ejected flames more than 20 meters away, illuminating the entire foggy coast, and the deafening rumbling sound rolled clearly again, and then There was a powerful shock wave on the surface of the sea, and the waves piled up and rushed towards the reefs on the shore, rolling back onto the beach.

The shells pierced through the air and exploded near the Soviet military camp several kilometers away. The earth trembled violently following the explosion, and then there were successive explosions and tremors one after another. The earth seemed to be shaken to pieces. The shell exploded, thinking it was an earthquake.

Almost all the soldiers of the Suidong Army were shocked by the power of this giant steel ship. In their impression, the cannon was only a few rings to scare people. What they saw now completely overturned their new impression of the cannon.They all secretly rejoiced that those shells did not fall on their heads, otherwise there would be no bones left.

What shocked me the most was Wu Xiaoliang. He came from that world, so he naturally knew that in the next 20 years, the navy would enter the era of giant cannon ships, and the ocean would be dominated by these steel monsters.And the super-large-caliber naval gun is a terrifying existence. In the later stage of development, the caliber of the main gun has reached an unprecedented 460mm. The firing range covers more than [-] kilometers.

Therefore, in addition to naval artillery battles, this kind of super battleship also has a greater role to provide powerful artillery support for landing operations. It can destroy almost all land fortifications and destroy the defending soldiers.During the Anti-Japanese War, the reason why the Chinese defenders suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle of Songhu was largely because they were covered by the powerful Japanese naval artillery firepower, causing heavy casualties, and it was impossible to launch an effective defense at all.

If, at this time, China also had its own powerful navy, the Japanese, Russians, Germans... maybe they would not be so rampant, but building warships requires the support of a country's huge industrial base. The civil war was almost over. Every time he attacked the south, he had to borrow from Japan. Duan Qirui borrowed again and again, and fell into the pit dug by the Japanese step by step.

After the initial shock, Wu Xiaoliang began to wonder, how did the Japanese fleet appear in Vladivostok?What is their purpose?If he aimed his naval guns at the city of Vladivostok, then half a day later, the city of Vladivostok would probably cease to exist.However, the Japanese did not seem to be in a hurry to bombard and land. More than a dozen ships were floating in the sea, only occasionally firing a few symbolic shells as a deterrent.

As a result, such a strange situation appeared in Vladivostok. The Japanese fleet cruised in the port of Vladivostok. Although they were extremely arrogant, they still maintained great restraint, and the city was dead, neither attacking nor retreating.

In the north, Malinovsky, who came all the way south, led more than [-] troops. He wanted to win the Shuangchengzi in one fell swoop, and then conquer Vladivostok. By then, the entire situation in the Far East will be firmly in his hands. He must be the first secretary of the Bolsheviks.

But God seems to be joking with the general who abandoned him. Shuangchengzi attacked the city for half a month, but he couldn’t attack for a long time. Where did the morale fall again and again? After arriving in Vladivostok, he found that the situation was more complicated. Without heavy fire support Under such circumstances, it has almost become an impossible task to capture and keep Vladivostok under the Japanese artillery.

Tantai Jize secretly helped his already weak legs, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, what should we do? Should we fight or retreat?"

"Of course it's a fight, so just a few iron lumps. Have you scared the bear?" Zhang Ergou continued the glorious tradition of fighting against Tantai Jize.

Wu Xiaoliang glanced at Zhang Ergou dissatisfied, and he was still bickering.

"We must fight, but we must first figure out who to fight and how to fight." Wu Xiaoliang paused and continued: "In my opinion, the first thing to do is to fight Malinovsky, and the only way to beat him is to defeat him first." Only then will we be able to deal with the Japanese with all our strength."

……

Malinovsky was extremely annoyed. Looking at his subordinates whom he had high hopes for, he felt a sense of hatred for iron and steel. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Charbanov, but withdrew his hand and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Charbanov made up his mind and insisted, "Comrade General, that Wu Xiaoliang brought 8 horses. We, we really can't resist it!"

The iron kettle hit Charbanov's head with a "slap", and a big bump immediately swelled up. He didn't dare to raise his hand to rub it, but he still stood there respectfully, then stood at attention, and begged, "Please, General!" Comrade, give me a chance to wash away my shame!"

Malinovsky sneered: "They have an army of [-]. If I hand them all over to you, what chance do you have of winning?"

"This..." Charbanov was speechless for a while.

Malinovsky calculated that Wu Xiaoliang would not have many people, so he decided to eat this group of people first and then think about future countermeasures. If they avoid the city, it will be a golden opportunity, saving the need to do it himself , as long as the Japanese wait impatiently, bombard him again, even if he is God or Satan, there will be no hair left, let alone a living person?

"Comrade Charbanov, on behalf of the Bolsheviks, I will once again entrust you with an honorable and difficult task..."

As soon as I said this, a violent explosion exploded in the camp, and the whole ground trembled accordingly. Some people even fell to the ground because of their unsteady standing. Before they got up, the second explosion sounded again... …

Malinovsky was furious: "Who? Who fired the cannon?"
