Chapter 2310
Learning from the current command system of the Pacific Fleet, Ouyang Yun is still the commander-in-chief in name, while Chen Shichang is the actual supreme commander.Below Chen Shichang are Qi Minghao and Xu Kai.Then there are the squadron commanders such as Bian Jingdao.Ouyang Yun's evaluation of Chen Shichang in front of Chen Cheng and others was not objective, it belittled Chen Shichang.It is true that Chen Shichang was born in the army, but he has a good cultural foundation, and he has a strong understanding.Today, he has long grown into a qualified senior naval commander.Not only him, Bian Jingdao and others, who are not from the army.In the past, the battleship BJ needed to go on a long voyage, and the French needed to be in command, otherwise there was a danger of going out and not coming back.Now, just like any captain under the Pacific Fleet, as long as he is given a complete team, he is sure to command the BJ back and forth alone.After as many as two years of training and running-in, although the qualifications of the Pacific Fleet are still immature, in fact, they have fully possessed the ability to stand alone.

With reconnaissance planes and radars, it is impossible to achieve a completely sudden sneak attack in a naval battle at this time, similar to World War I or even the Pearl Harbor incident in 41.The advent of aircraft and radar has promoted the progress of navigation technology, and further improved the technical level of naval warfare.These technologies include not only eavesdropping on the enemy's telegrams, or issuing false telegrams to confuse the enemy's audiovisual and many other espionage methods, but also include technological innovations in weapons and equipment that are directly put into actual combat.As far as the latter is concerned, the Xuebing Army is well-deserved to be at the forefront of the world.As Luo Zhuoying and others saw when they visited the Xu Pacific Fleet, the ship-borne rocket launcher is actually not a core technological innovation.Another example is the submarine-launched torpedo technology used by officers and soldiers of the submarine force such as Xu Kai last year in the Green Sea naval battle, and now Japan and the United States also have mastered it.So, what is the technological innovation that the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet are most proud of?Ship-to-ship missiles, air-to-ship missiles.From a technical perspective alone, the technical difficulty of ship-to-ship missiles and air-to-ship missiles is even lower than that of air-to-air missiles.The Golden Eagles of the Xuebing Army are already able to use air-to-air missiles against the enemy. With the unprecedented strength of the Japanese combined fleet, Ouyang Yun will naturally not ignore the design and use of ship-to-ship missiles and air-to-ship missiles.As a result, the Swordfish missile speedboat developed from the Swordfish torpedo boat came into being, and as of now, there are as many as 25 Swordfish missile speedboats serving only in the Pacific Fleet.

For this decisive naval battle that will determine the fate of China and Japan, the high-level officials of both China and Japan attach great importance to it, and almost all of them have poured out their respective naval forces.In terms of the Japanese combined fleet, only three aircraft carriers and several other warships remained in the country. In addition to learning from the Pacific Fleet, the Chinese side also dispatched more than half of the warships from the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet to join this duel.However, the layout of the Chinese and Japanese sides is slightly different in that the Japanese troops are all directly deployed on the front line of the battlefield. On the Chinese side, Ouyang Yun's instructions to Chen Yuanyang are to let them act independently and participate in the battle in the way they are used to.

Among the three major fleets of the Xuebing Army, the Pacific Fleet is considered an ocean-going fleet, while the Haikou and Dongshan Fleets belong to the offshore fleet.It is said to be an offshore fleet, but the headquarters is also equipped with heavy cruisers of more than [-] tons, and has certain high-sea combat capabilities.This is also the reason why the Japanese army had to abandon the South China Sea Channel. The Haikou Fleet and the Dongshan Fleet did not need to use heavy cruisers. They only dispatched Song-class and Ming-class submarines and even Swordfish torpedo boats to attack the Japanese transport fleet.Submarines have good lurking properties, and Swordfish is super fast. Therefore, even if the Japanese army dispatched a large-scale escort fleet, they still could not form a deterrent.As a result, the Japanese simply abandoned the Yellow Sea waterway, switched to the Philippine Sea and then traveled between the mainland and Southeast Asia via the Pacific Ocean, even if it increased the voyage period.

Chen Ce entered the command headquarters, and the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet were all under the command of Chen Yuanyang.Chen Yuanyang is also famous for being brave.The command given to him by the High Command was to act independently, to participate in the war in the way he was accustomed to, and he actually didn't expect much from it.Chen Yuanyang was quite upset about this, thinking that the commander-in-chief underestimated people because he didn't treat Haikou and Dongshan fleet as dishes.On the day when the telegram from the High Command arrived, he convened a teleconference in Haikou with the top executives of the two fleets. At the meeting, after reading out the order, he bluntly stated: We have no aircraft carriers or battleships. Heavy cruisers combined There are only six ships, and it is reasonable that the commander-in-chief is not optimistic about us.However, the commander-in-chief can ignore us, but we must not give up on ourselves!What if there is no big ship?Do you still remember?Wasn't the Canglong captured by us during the battle on the Green Sea?Bros!Affected by the voyage, it is impossible for us to go to the Indian Ocean to participate in the war, but we have to show considerable achievements to declare our existence...

No wonder Chen Yuanyang felt a sense of existential crisis.The naval policy of the Xuebing Army is fully tilted towards the Pacific Fleet. In the past, the Haikou Fleet and the Dongshan Fleet could still receive heavy cruisers, but now, they have not received large ships for half a year.Fleet Fleet, there are ships to have a team.Although the Haikou and Dongshan fleets have no major combat missions, they are also attrition.This made Chen Yuanyang have to worry that in time, the Haikou and Dongshan fleets would be empty, and then they would be banned directly.Dongshan Fleet has grown to its current scale, and how much effort has been poured into it. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as his child. Being banned is naturally tantamount to licking flesh in his heart, which he absolutely cannot accept.

Ouyang Yun didn't expect this. Although Yamamoto 56 knew the existence of these two fleets and hated them, he didn't pay much attention to them, thinking they were just two lingering flies.In Yamamoto's conception, these two flies must of course be exterminated, but not now, but after annihilating the Pacific Fleet.

In terms of treatment, the officers and men of the Haikou and Dongshan Fleets are no different from those of the Pacific Fleet.However, as Chen Yuanyang emphasized, because the whole country is now paying attention to the Pacific Fleet, and the naval policy of the Xuebing Army is also fully tilted towards the Ministry, the officers and soldiers of the two fleets, especially the officers, really have a sense of existential crisis.As soon as Chen Yuanyang finished speaking, there was an uproar in the Haikou meeting room and Dongshan meeting room: Yes, we must not give up on ourselves!Yes, we are not a big ship that has sunk devils with small ships.What about swordfish?It can also sink an aircraft carrier!
……

What no one expected was that the two Chinese offshore fleets that no one in the world cared about fired the first shot of the Sino-Japanese naval confrontation and achieved impressive results.
