Temporary workers in the war

Mines and Submarines!

Feng Quan's suggestion on how to develop the navy of the Republic of China is very scientific. Although China is now a lot richer because of its crossing, it has donated hundreds of millions of oceans back and forth, but for China, which is poor and white, even if It's not a drop in the bucket, at most it's just a helping hand.

Although 1933 has been the 22nd year of the Republic of China, and Jiang Gong has been the No. 1 in China for several years, there is still a rhythm of government orders not leaving Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government was unable to accept various taxes from places other than Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and all departments still reached out to Jiang Gong.

Recently, although the little devils have calmed down a lot compared to before, the money for raising soldiers is almost like a bottomless pit.

When ordinary people describe the various expenses of raising soldiers, they often say that one sentence is to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and to use them for a while.Even in peacetime, it will cost a lot of money for so many soldiers to eat, drink, sleep and so on.

Even a simple zipper, a troop drive from one place to another, costs a lot of money.

Not to mention, take the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War as an example. The 17th Army of the Central Army was going to go to the front line of the Great Wall from various places, but the order has been issued for so long, and the troops have not moved. The reason is that they are very entangled in various expenses along the way. ! !

Raising an army in peacetime is already a little tiring, and the various expenses in wartime are even more jaw-dropping. Once the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold!

Without Feng Quanjiang's wealth and wealth, it would be really difficult to raise an army. This is still for the Republic of China, which has almost no navy and air force.

Now the navy only has some small gunboats and patrol boats that can't be put on the table. If you really encounter battleships and heavy cruisers from island countries, there is really a rhythm of praying.

There is an idiom that is particularly suitable for describing battleships, that is, strong ships and powerful guns.Chuanjian means that the armor thickness of the battleship is particularly amazing. Even if it is continuously bombed by a cannon with a caliber of several hundred millimeters or a bomber for a whole day, it may not necessarily be sunk!

Not to mention the power of the guns, the naval guns with a caliber of about 400 mm are no joke. Once fired, there will be absolutely no bones left within the killing radius of the shells.

以绝对致命弹片的杀伤距离来计算的话，105mm杀伤半径多在10米到 米左右；122mm杀伤半径则有15米到25米左右；152mm和155mm杀伤半径多在 米到30米左右；新型155mm的杀伤半径到达30米到60米。

The killing radius of 3mm reaches 30 meters to more than 60 meters

; The killing radius of 240mm should be able to reach more than 60 meters...

The above is just the killing radius. If you want to talk about the flying distance of shrapnel, some can even reach 0-300 meters!This is what is usually meant by a cannon that covers half a football field.

The main guns of battleships, which are often converted into shore guns or fortress cannons, are even more powerful. It is difficult for a small Chinese ship to hold a single shell fired by it.

......

A ten-year air force and a century-old navy refer to a country with sufficient financial resources to buy or build aircraft and warships by itself, but it must also have enough training time to form combat effectiveness.

Regardless of whether it is an aircraft or a warship, the newly developed Republic of China is absolutely unable to afford the usual training and maintenance.

Jiang Gong inadvertently mentioned the navy to Feng Quan, his most admired subordinate, but he didn't expect Feng Quan's answer to be so scientific. Thinking of the above, Jiang Gong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop nodding.

"Hehehe, my lord, as far as I know, your Zhongtiaoshan security regiment has neither an air force nor a navy. But you gave me a suggestion to let the party and the state think more about mines and submarines. What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Feng Quan, who is familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, remembered the very tragic Jiangyin naval battle during the outbreak of the All-out Anti-Japanese War.

The Jiangyin Naval Battle was part of the Jiangyin Defense War. It lasted 1937 days from the beginning of the Jiangyin War on August 8, 16 to the fall of the Jiangyin Defense Line on December 1937, 12. It was also the only naval battle during the Anti-Japanese War.

Part of the fleet that has been powerful in China's seas for many years sank in Yantai, and the main force sank in Jiangyin.

Although the Jiangyin naval battle failed, the battle to defend the Jiangyin blockade blocked the Japanese army's attempt to advance westward along the Yangtze River, shattered the arrogant Japanese army's three-month dream of destroying China, and protected the party, government, military agencies, industrial and mining enterprises in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to Sichuan. The safe transfer of the rear made an outstanding contribution to the final victory of the national government's long-lasting war of resistance in exchange for space!

The main force of the Huaxia Kuomintang Navy was almost completely lost in this battle.Since then, the Huaxia Navy, which existed in name only, was no longer able to organize a fleet to fight against the island countries, and instead retreated into the interior to carry out attrition operations such as laying mines.

And these have also led to the vast majority of related writings or comments, most of which directly claim that during World War II, there was no such thing as the Chinese Navy!

In the Battle of Jiangyin, the resistance of the Chinese navy was not without heroism and hardship, and it also caused considerable losses to the Japanese army. For a long time, it ensured the smooth flow of the Yangtze River waterway, and made it easier for the people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Wuhan and other places A large number of factories, enterprises, and personnel were able to retreat to the mainland, creating favorable conditions for the long-term war of resistance.

However, the navy was still defeated, and the defeat was so miserable: it could not prevent the Japanese army from landing in the coastal ports of China and from attacking the imperial capital Nanjing along the Yangtze River, and suffered heavy losses.It is always embarrassing.

Summarizing the experience and lessons will not only help the analysis of the combat experience of the Chinese Kuomintang Navy in the War of Resistance, but also undoubtedly have great practical significance for the naval construction during the Republic of China.

Most of the reason why China's navy failed was its weak national power. The second reason was the traitor Huang Jun's betrayal. If he hadn't leaked the military committee's battle plan to the island country, maybe the weak China navy couldn't turn defeat into victory. , But with the right time, place, people and what, it can also hit the island country once.

The third reason is that the battle plan for the Jiangyin naval battle is not very scientific. For various reasons, such as a small group of naval generals who regard the interests of the motherland lower than their own forces, they ignore the overall situation and fight for power in various ways. ! !

"Principal, the students feel that China's navy is still too weak to compete with the battleships or aircraft carriers of the island countries.

That being the case, why not choose the next best thing, and when the island country is in full-scale war with China, you might as well deploy a large number of mines in various strategic locations. If Jiang Zi arranges it, it can not only preserve its strength, but also bring a lot of trouble to the island country.

Therefore, the students boldly suggested that the headmaster be asked to manufacture or buy a large number of mines, and order the relevant departments to learn more about how to mine mines! "

At the end, Feng Quan stood up very excitedly, his face flushed.Jiang Gong waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.

"Well! Zigong, your proposal is very good and very constructive. I plan to hold a national defense and military meeting to discuss this matter in a few days. By the way, didn't you just suggest that I buy a submarine? Are you swollen? Come on, let's talk about your thoughts."

In fact, Feng Quan has always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Jiang Gong about the record of German submarines, which were very handy in using submarines in World War II.

Tigers are also afraid of wolves. There are many destructive beasts in nature, but they will shudder when they encounter bloodthirsty wolves.Under the siege of wolves in turn, even the tiger or lion of the king of beasts can hardly parry.

During the Second World War, the German Admiral General Doenitz was called "Wolf Head" by the outside world because he pioneered the "Wolf Pack Tactics" of naval warfare. This tactic made the German Navy's results in the early days of World War II extremely brilliant.

"Wolf Pack Tactics" and General Guderian's "Blitzkrieg" are also known as the two "magic weapons" of the Nazi German army, land and sea.

The so-called pack of wolves tactics is to use multiple submarines to form a small team, and launch various underwater attacks on enemy warships and transport ships in turn like a pack of wolves.

When using "Wolf Pack Tactics", concentrate the power of several submarines to attack a sea target, and use the attack power of several submarines to destroy heavy ships.

The German navy used "wolf pack tactics" to organize swarms of submarines to attack the ships of the Allies at sea, destroying the sea transportation lines of the Allies and causing heavy losses to the Allies.

Specific method of wolf pack tactics:

During the operation, a "wolf head" ship will command the unified action of the "wolves".Generally, several ships are sent to hunt at sea, and when the target is found, they will immediately conduct underwater tracking.

Wolves generally choose to attack at night, and the submarines in the wolf pack approach stealthily from the gap or flank of the opposing escort fleet, and then these submarines attack the same target at the same time.

In this way, the hit rate is improved, and even several torpedoes can hit the same target at the same time.

Therefore, "wolf pack tactics" can achieve great combat results, and "wolf pack tactics" are named after this.However, due to the timely adoption of the escort system by the Allied forces and the increasing proficiency of the Allied anti-submarine technology, the wolf pack tactics were gradually eliminated.

......

"Principal, submarines can be said to be the self-defense dagger of weak countries, but also the deterrent weapon of strong countries!

For weak countries, submarines have extremely strong concealment, can save themselves to the greatest extent, and can also increase more survival time in wars.

Our Huaxia also has a lot of surface ships, but compared with the island countries, they are still too small in all aspects. To put it bluntly, they have a vulnerable rhythm.

Once the war breaks out, the possibility of these warships surviving is extremely low, so the students believe that the only force that can be used to counter the island navy is the submarine.

Of course, submarines are definitely not able to attack a powerful warship formation head-on, but because the enemy is difficult to detect, the students believe that its strike effect is even greater than the current popular aircraft carrier! "

"En!" Jiang Gong nodded, "Zi Gong, you are right. Is there any specific example of this in history?"
