Rise from the sword

South, a certain port.

This port has a long history and is directly connected by railway, but the infrastructure is old and cannot meet the berthing of [-]-ton ships and over [-]-ton ships, and complete the loading and unloading of goods, so now it is expanding, and the workers of the construction team are in full swing. Part of it can be put into use.

At this time, a large amount of high-quality heavy oil was flowing from the warehouse through a thick oil pipeline into a large warship moored at the No. [-] berth, and a circle of soldiers formed a cordon to keep vigilant.

The warship was huge, at least [-] tons by visual inspection, but the workers around were not surprised at all, and almost turned a blind eye to the warship.

Even the people nearby were not surprised when they saw it, and only glanced at it occasionally.

It’s different in the past.

Because the railway is directly connected to the core industrial area of ​​the base area, as the first large port in the south to be expanded first, it undertakes the export of goods from the entire base area.

Heavy industry is still far behind, and I can’t satisfy myself, but light industry, clothes, shoes, small commodities, etc., advanced machinery and equipment, perfect production technology and processes, and a large number of workers have already experienced explosive growth.

Although they can still digest it internally, Zhao Gang and others have already begun to find a market for the huge production capacity.

The expanded and reconstructed railway is sufficient to ensure the transportation volume, so at this time, there is a [-]-ton container ship and a [-]-ton bulk ship loading at the port, which are larger than warships.

I am used to seeing giant ships, so naturally I don't have much feeling for this warship.

After all, not long ago, two battleships were refueled here, and their size was much larger than the current one.

"Set off."

After refueling, Wang Gensheng gave the order to set sail inside the large cruiser classified as a super cruiser.

Their goal this time was the Indian Ocean, to intercept and sink the Oshu transport ship that provided supplies for the devils. Considering the possibility of a battle, they specially dispatched this large cruiser.

Accompanied by a 01 destroyer.

It is the second ship of the 01 class.

Due to voyage reasons, the destroyer is currently moored in Malacca, waiting to gather together.

"it's a pity."

When they met, Wang Gensheng felt a little regretful looking at the two warships.

There are actually plenty of warships and troops, and they are all drawn out. They are larger than the peak fleet of the British Empire, but there are too few sailors, and it is not enough to add up to ten capital ships.

So he can only send two warships this time.

Among them, the second 01-class guided missile destroyer will be stationed on Socotra Island, guarding the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean, and attacking surrounding pirates.

"25 verses."

Wang Gensheng continued to order.

Although there are only two warships, if you underestimate this fleet, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

A large cruiser, a 01-level destroyer, and a 01-level guided missile destroyer, a total of twelve six-tube 30mm automatic anti-aircraft guns, and more than [-] medium-range anti-aircraft missiles.

Coupled with more than 30 anti-ship missiles, it is enough to block the attack of a comprehensive fleet.

This is generation difference.

······
the other side.

America, White House.

"How is the situation in Ozhou?"

Mr. President is very worried about the situation in Austria.

Apparently, the previous tough arrest operation led by Chief Li Datuan, the forced trial and conviction in spite of the pressure of the United States afterwards, and the direct sinking of two submarines made Mr. President realize that he was facing a proper ruthless person this time.

Moreover, according to the Aozhou intelligence, the other party seemed to know the route of the transport fleet, and he was a little worried that the other party would directly attack.

Once there is a direct military conflict, he is really difficult to deal with.

If the other party joins forces with Mustache, the army marches northward and causes trouble in the Pacific Ocean, then there will be big troubles.

"The other party lodged a protest, but no further action was taken, and the transport fleet was normal."

The secretary answered.

"Ah."

Mr. President immediately felt relieved.

It seems that although the other side is tough and dares to strike, it does not dare to launch a direct military conflict casually.

Those who transported weapons and supplies for the Japanese were the Oshu Fleet, but they had put on a layer of camouflage. They were civilian supplies in name, and they were dispatched by warships to escort them.

The secretary added:
"Their forces attacking the subcontinent picked up speed."

"However, we have also increased the transportation of materials. This time the weapons and equipment are several times that of last time, including fighter jets."

"Is there any news from Europe?"

Mr. President continued to ask.

It is now the middle of August.

It has been nearly three months since the storming of Cherbourg, but the news that comes back every day is not very good.

"The situation is still not good."

The secretary's answer made Mr. President frown again.

······
The fleet sailing at a speed of 25 knots was extremely fast. In just a few days, it arrived at the predetermined position and approached the transport fleet of Oshu.

Today, the Indian Ocean near the fleet is calm and sunny.

"The distance is [-] kilometers, and the fleet of [-] ships."

Inside the bridge, Wang Gensheng received a message from the radar operator.

At this time, the fleet was only [-] kilometers away from the transport fleet that transported weapons to the devils. The radar on the large cruiser had already scanned the fleet's speed, quantity, and direction.

But let alone the radar of the 60s, even the radar of the 21st century cannot accurately judge the size and type of the target [-] kilometers away.

"Seventeen?"

Wang Gensheng narrowed his eyes.

All the transport fleets in Aozhou to deliver goods to the devils use American Liberty ships.

The maximum full-load transport capacity of this standardized-manufactured freighter is 9000 to [-] tons. However, due to reasons such as the uncertain volume of the cargo, as well as its own fuel consumption, boiler water and other materials, each ship carries about [-] tons of materials on average.

It has to be said that this seemingly low-tech transport ship gave Wang Gensheng a great impact.

The technical level on the Liberty Ship is really not high, the old-fashioned design, the coal-fired piston engine, 7000 horsepower, the standard single-layer hull, has a self-weight of more than 9000 tons, but can only carry [-] or [-] tons, it is simply rubbish .

But the technology to manufacture this ship is extremely advanced.

It is now August of 45. Since the United States entered the war, more than [-] Liberty ships have been manufactured. Especially since October last year, after technical exchanges with the base area, some advanced manufacturing equipment from Boss Chen was purchased at a high price. After the technology, the United States once again accelerated the speed of ship manufacturing.

Wang Gensheng is really envious of this huge shipbuilding and management capabilities.

But this is the huge wealth left over from decades of industrial construction in the United States, and it is the foundation of the world's largest industrial country. Even with the full support of Boss Chen in the base area, it is difficult to realize it in a short time.

Of course, this is not the point now.

According to detailed information, this time, Ozhou dispatched an American Fletcher-class destroyer to escort, and the rest were transport ships, sixteen Liberty ships, and nearly [-] tons of supplies.

"It's really a big deal!"

Wang Gensheng sneered.

One hundred thousand tons of supplies is enough for more than 30 little devils in the subcontinent. Once the weapons and equipment are in hand, they can really cause a lot of trouble for the expeditionary army.

Different from the Hump route and the Burma Road, the materials transported in this batch are all military materials, weapons, equipment, ammunition, even fighter jets, and fuel for aircraft.

"full speed."

Then he ordered:
"Come up."

"The helicopter takes off."

Following Wang Gensheng's order, the large cruiser and 01-class destroyer accelerated to 33 knots and rushed towards the distant transport fleet. At the same time, two helicopters also took off from the tail.

······
more than an hour later.

"Left, warship."

The Aozhou transport fleet finally discovered the Wang Gensheng fleet approaching rapidly.

"Damn."

Inside the Fletcher-class destroyer, an Austrian navy commander's expression changed drastically after seeing the incoming warship clearly.

His Fletcher-class destroyer was only [-] tons fully loaded, and the two warships that attacked from a distance, even the small one, was twice his size, and it was estimated to be ten times his size.

This shit.

If it was normal, he would have already run at full speed, but now, he has no way to leave.

"Maintain formation."

Seeing that the fleet began to distort, he quickly ordered.

"Let's negotiate."

Then he sailed towards the opposing fleet head-on.

Although the high-level government officials thought that the other party would not dare to attack, as a military officer, the captain knew very well that the probability of the other party's attack was very high. This was munitions, [-] tons of munitions!Moreover, it was the ammunition for the mortal enemy of the Republic of China, the Japanese, and the captain of Oshu was not surprised by the opponent's attack.

But the military will always serve the government.

And politicians are never short of brains.

As for running away with the fleet.

This is absolutely impossible.

The transport ship has a speed of eleven or twelve knots, the opposite warship has a speed of 33 knots, and there are planes, even if they run separately, none of them can escape.

"The barrel lay flat."

During the acceleration, the captain did not forget to keep a low profile.

"Report, the other party sent a contact."

At this time, a staff officer reported.

"Connect."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief.

It is the best situation to be able to talk. At the same time, a possibility also emerged in his mind. Could it be that the other party is really afraid to do what the group of idiots said?

"All fleet, follow me back to our port for inspection."

After the channel was connected, Wang Gensheng's tone was domineering and unquestionable.

"Give you 5 minutes, either go back with us, or stay here forever."

Before the captain could speak, Wang Gensheng hung up the phone directly after telling the time limit.

"asshole!"

Hearing the beeping sound in the public frequency microphone, the captain was so angry that he smashed the microphone.

It is absolutely impossible to return to the Republic of China for domestic investigation.

Their goal was the direction of the subcontinent. Apart from the people of the Republic of China, there were only Japanese people there, and the ship was nominally containing civilian supplies and medical supplies, but in fact it was [-] tons of weapons and ammunition. There were devil liaison officers, pilots, and even military officers on board.

Once the actual evidence is left, the trouble will be big.

but.

What should I do?
Will they really do it?

What should he do if they really do it?
"Continue sailing, they dare not do it."

Because it was a public frequency communication, all the transport ships heard the news, and the captain was hesitating while the staff officer warned the transport ships.

In the tangled hesitation, 5 minutes passed in a flash.

At this time, the distance between the two fleets was three kilometers, and Wang Gensheng's super patrol was five kilometers away from the transport ship.

"Fire."

Wang Gensheng didn't talk nonsense at all, leaving the 01-class guided missile destroyer to confront the Aozhou destroyer, while he rushed to the transport fleet.

boom····

The muzzle fireworks of the two twin 305 caliber 55 times main guns burst into flames, and the two transport ships were directly shattered into pieces in the explosion smoke.

This time, the semi-armor-piercing high-explosive shell he used, a shell specially designed for the attack, will delay the explosion slightly to ensure destructiveness. The thin merchant ship armor cannot block the 305 caliber shells at all, let alone the Two, the shells went straight into the ship and exploded.

The two merchant ships began to sink on the spot.

Of course, the two semi-armor-piercing high-explosive bombs only weighed more than 800 kilograms, and the charge was only 7000 kilograms. A merchant ship with a self-weight of more than [-] tons could not be directly blown into pieces.

but.

boom···

Less than 12 seconds later, the muzzles of the super patrol's two turrets erupted again, and two semi-armor-piercing high-explosive shells exploded again in the two sinking merchant ships.

The structure of the merchant ship was not strong, there was no watertight cabin, and there was no damage resistance. Facing the explosion of four 305 shells, this time, the two merchant ships fell apart and became fragments.

"Stop the engine and get on deck, or all will be sunk."

Directly violently destroying two transport ships, Wang Gensheng issued another public warning.

At the same time, his shelling did not stop. After 12 seconds, the front and rear turrets opened fire again. This time, the two transport ships at the front of the transport fleet were hit. At a distance of eight kilometers, four shells hit accurately. A large part of the hull exploded into pieces.

At the same time as the warning, the bombardment continued, without giving the slightest hesitation, and forced to agree immediately.

This time, their main task is to capture the transport ships. They cannot sink all of them. They must capture a few ships and return them to the country to leave evidence for possible future negotiations.

"How dare you!"

In the first round of bombardment, the two transport ships exploded, and the eyes of the commander of the Oshu Navy immediately turned red.

"Cease fire immediately."

The captain roared in public.

"Either fire directly, or just stay where it is cool."

Wang Gensheng sneered and turned his face directly.

The captain was so angry that he almost ordered to fire back, but the large destroyer not far away, and his instinctive reason calmed him down.

The second round of shelling that followed made him completely calm down in an instant, and there was even a faint cold sweat dripping from his back.

The third round of shelling made him break out in cold sweat, thankfully he was not impulsive.

As an officer who participated in the Pacific naval battle, although he was only a destroyer captain, he knew very well that even the latest warship of the United States, the firing rate of the 305 artillery was only three rounds per minute.

This is already the fastest speed.

Because even a battleship cannot achieve full pitch angle loading of 305-level and above artillery. For example, the barrel must be lowered to a certain height or even laid flat to load.

The salvo is only one shot per minute.

On the opposite side, the warship was at a distance of five kilometers at the shortest and eight kilometers at the furthest. The front and rear two double-mounted 305 heavy guns fired at almost all angles, and the firing interval was less than 12 seconds.

What's even more frightening is that all of the two rounds of shelling hit, or the two turrets aimed at different targets.

In the third round, the targets were the two transport ships at the top of the transport fleet. During the period, the artillery turned, adjusted the pitch, re-aimed, reloaded, and fired, and it only took 15 seconds.

And all of them have been hit accurately.

If there is a fight, let alone missiles, these two main guns can send him to the bottom of the sea.

"The gap is really big."

The captain gave a wry smile.

Many people in the navy, including the US Navy, believe that the missile radar on the other side is only a little more advanced, but now it seems that the gap between our own side is not small in terms of artillery.

"Captain, us?"

Inside the bridge, all the officers and staff of the Oshu Navy looked at their captain in unison.

At the beginning of the shelling, they also roared in unison, unwilling to die with the enemy, but now, all of them have calmed down.

"us···"

The captain moved his mouth and sighed:

"Let them surrender."

Although the order of the military department must be kept absolutely confidential, and the transport fleet can be abandoned when necessary, and even the lives of some crew members are sacrificed, but the current situation is no longer possible.

"I don't think so."

The first officer at the side shook his head.

Only then did the captain realize that the engines of the remaining ten transport ships had all been extinguished, and all of them had hoisted white flags.

In less than 2 minutes, six transport ships were sunk.
