1949 I am from the future

()【105】Three Musketeers

The Air Force originally planned to complete the training of one H-20, one H-[-] armored torpedo aircraft, and one H-Reconnaissance-[-] before the end of February. This plan has already completed the preliminary training on January No. [-] in advance. In order to cooperate with the recovery The coastal islands broke the blockade of the Yangtze River Estuary. These three baby eggs, nicknamed the Air Force's "Three Musketeers" by the Air Force, were deployed at Puhai Airport to start actual combat training.

Since the navy's brigade's attack plan is of great importance, there is no room for any mistakes. You must know that the poor navy can't afford to be injured.The Air Force Command resolutely decided to send the three planes that had just completed training, under the protection of our fighter jets, to immediately attack and investigate the KMT's pier on the Zhoushan Islands, and at the same time ordered the Air Force One Regiment and the Air Force Two Regiment to send two The J-[-] squadrons carried aerial bombs and carried out the air strike plan together.

In fact, the Air Force is also trying to catch ducks on the shelves. In order to train fighter jets to fly in formation and flexibly change formations according to the enemy's situation, the Air Force spends all day checking information and reading textbooks.The fighter pilots of various brigades held wooden planes on the ground and simulated it like a house over and over again. It took a whole day to practice. The pilots have been sleeping recently and their minds are full of formations.As for fighter escort, I have never practiced it.Historically, during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our air force also learned how to form formations, how to maintain formation and attack, and how to escort while fighting.It took me half a year to learn it.

Fortunately, there are only three targets to be protected. Other J-[-] fighter jets equipped with bombs can be put into air combat as long as the bombs are dropped.Kong Yituan has already issued a military order, and the "Three Musketeers" must be fully protected.

The order received by the fifth bombing and reconnaissance unit was a bit long. The headquarters asked them to carry out high-altitude reconnaissance, take pictures to find out the distribution of enemy firepower and fortifications, the positions of artillery positions and docks, and the deployment of troops and ships on various islands in the Zhoushan Islands.

As for the Boom Five, its task is relatively simple, that is, once the enemy's dock is found, immediately bomb the warships at anchor. It is best if the large-tonnage ships can be sunk in the port. On the waterway of the pier, no matter what, it can paralyze the enemy's pier for a week.

The order received by the Hongwujia torpedo plane is also to attack, but the destination is different. Under the cover of a squadron of fighter jets, he will look for enemy reinforcement ships on the sea surface and try to damage the enemy ships.Although the order stated damage, these young men who had just completed the training of the torpedo plane did not regard this as the goal. "If you want to blow up, you have to blow up and sink the enemy ship." This is the voice of the captain Lu Peiyuan. In the early training, the H-2 torpedo plane practiced three times of throwing live ammunition to attack the target ship. The crew basically grasped the throwing characteristics of the Yu-[-] fish. .But after thinking about it, although Lu Peiyuan yelled loudly, he still had some doubts in his heart. After all, actual combat is different from training.The leaders of the Air Force also know that the training time for torpedo planes is short, and they don't put too much pressure on them. This is why the Air Force Command only mentions damage and not sinking in the mission objectives. In the view of the Air Force Command, these novices As long as you can hit it, it is considered a victory.

In fact, the New Chinese Air Force has long planned to bomb the Zhoushan Islands, but the premise of the operation is to cooperate with the Army's operations in order to recover the Zhoushan Islands in one fell swoop.Now that the navy has an unexpected situation here, the air force must adjust its plan to cooperate with the navy's actions.

On this side, after receiving the order, the two large warships Xinyang and Yingkou of the Kuomintang First Fleet lit up their boilers and prepared to set sail.About half an hour after receiving the order, they finally gathered their troops and sailed out of Zhoushandao wharf with six gunboats.

To say that these two large ships are still very powerful.The Xinyang was acquired by the Kuomintang when the spoils were distributed according to the lottery after Japan's defeat. This ship was originally a Japanese "Kaisong" destroyer, or "Orange-class" destroyer.At the end of World War II, the Japanese navy suffered heavy losses. In order to make up for the gap in the navy's warships, the two levels of Matsu and Tachibana were created. The guiding ideology is the miniaturization, mass production and simplification of warships.

The Maizuru Shipyard in Kyoto, Japan hastily built this batch of "reformed Matsu-class", or "Tachibana-class" destroyers, which are of worse quality than the already crude Matsuru-class.The whole ship uses ordinary steel plates instead of ship steel!It can be said that there are warships in the sky, but there are no warships in reality. They are said to be destroyers, but they are actually frigates. At the end of the Japanese Navy, the idea of ​​firepower without protection, and the Zero fighter of the Japanese Navy Air Force, as long as they are dexterous and not protected, were born in the same mother's belly.The militaristic Admiralty committed crimes, regardless of the lives of soldiers.

The Xinyang, which was renamed from the orange-class "Chumei", was not completed until June 1945, 18. As a result, it surrendered on August 14th, haha.

To say that Lao Jiang was really lucky, he got this new ship in the lottery after the war, but it was not until 1947 that Lao Jiang found out after getting the ship that the artillery had not been installed yet.As a last resort, I had to pay for the original Japanese naval gun and install it.

Xinyang has a displacement of 1289 tons and a full load of 1580 tons.After Lao Jiang spent the green dollar bills, he was equipped with two 40mm single-tube high-level dual-purpose naval guns with a caliber of 127 times. The shooting speed is 10 rounds per minute, and the maximum range can reach 6000 meters. In addition, there are 63 Three millimeter anti-aircraft guns, two 40mm rapid-fire guns, and four 20mm machine guns.The firepower is indeed very strong, but building a warship is not about cross talk, and it will suffer if the skin is thin and the stuffing is big.

However, the frigate-class destroyer "Xinyang" can already be regarded as the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's first fleet. Facing the small gunboats of the New Chinese Navy in history, Xinyang is indeed a bit of a sloppy stance that no one is afraid of.

The other camp slogan here is not too bad. It is also a new ship launched in 1944 produced by Wuzuru Shipyard, but the model is a coastal defense ship with a displacement of 745 tons and a full load of 810 tons. It is equipped with two guns and the main gun of Xinyang The same ri-style 127mm dual-purpose gun, six 25mm machine guns.Of course, it was also the catchphrase of the rush-built ships of the Wuzuru Shipyard during this period, and the hulls were only made of ordinary steel plates.Pit father ah.

The Xinyang and Yingkouhao swaggered out to sea with six gunboats. Regardless of whether the gunboats could keep up, they rushed towards the formation of nine gunboats led by Paoqi at a cruising speed of 15 knots.

The headquarters of Zhongyang Junwei in the northern capital was not full yet, and received good news. After the sea battle, the 608 ship defeated and captured the enemy Xianning and Pao Wu, and was escorting the captured ships to the dock in Yancheng, Jiangshu with 610. go.

Not long after, a telegram came, 608 and 610 decided and had already attacked again, making up their minds to touch the formation composed of nine gunboats, the mood of everyone in the headquarters suddenly turned from joy to worry.

Commander-in-Chief Zhu lightly tapped the table with his knuckles and said, "Isn't it a little rash to underestimate the enemy? After all, the opponent is nine gunboats."

The chairman looked at Xiaoqiang and said, "Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, tell us your opinion."

Xiaoqiang didn't have much confidence, and said: "I think it's possible to fight, and it's best to break through one by one. If the opponent's formation is neat and they use their numerical advantage to fight us in a concentrated artillery battle, I'm afraid there will be accidents."

Xu Xiang, the former chief of the general staff, said calmly: "It's okay to tell them to touch each other. If they can beat them, they will fight. If they can't, they will run away. According to the data, the speed of the 037 boat is still very fast. In terms of maneuverability, the enemy's gunboat is far away. Not as good as us."

Nie Shuai also agreed with Mr. Xu's opinion. After the discussion, the top commanders of our army unified their views, so they sent a report to Qingdao to convey Zhong Yang's opinion.

The central yang headquarters also generated electricity at the same time, instructing the air force to fully cooperate in this naval battle and seize the sea air supremacy.
