Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

God of War…>

As a naval officer who has studied in Europe, before the aircraft carrier has really exerted its power on the battlefield and is really used by all countries.In the eyes of these naval officers, if a navy wants to develop and grow, it wants to rank among the naval powers.There must be a very important factor, that is to have a sufficient number of strong ships and guns.Therefore, in the face of Li Guosheng's inquiry, Sun Haijun directly expressed his idea of ​​developing strong ships and guns, building large-scale or purchasing large cruisers and battleships from abroad.

Using these three gunboats and a gunboat that is about to be decommissioned, in a short period of time, large-scale training of outstanding naval personnel.After the army has a sufficient number of naval personnel, find a way to buy from abroad cruisers, battleships and other large sea ships that have a huge deterrent effect, and are also the dream of the Chinese navy, and gradually expand their naval forces... >

Although the dream is good, it is also very in line with the current development and growth of the navies of many countries.However, in the face of such huge consumption, it is not at all a path of development that I can afford.Li Guosheng didn't hesitate, nor was he afraid of shattering Sun Haijun's dream, so he directly refused.

Stopped Sun Haijun who wanted to continue and explain to himself.Li Guosheng continued to ask directly and meaningfully. [

"Captain Sun, since you have studied in Germany, you should know that Germany was invincible in World War I, and the submarine force that caused huge losses to Britain, France and other countries...>

"According to the cost of medium-sized battleships in European and American countries. The value of a medium-sized battleship can buy at least ten German submarines...>

"How about the two kinds of equipment in terms of the naval crew needed in wartime?" Li Guosheng continued to ask.

"A medium-sized battleship requires at least 200 naval personnel to "manipulate" it. However, a submarine only requires a maximum of [-] naval personnel. Even if ten submarines with the same cost are included, it only needs more than [-] Naval personnel...>

After getting the answer he wanted, he faced the look of doubt on Sun Haijun's face.Li Guosheng stopped hiding and asked the last and most critical question directly: "In this case, Captain Sun, based on your combat experience and understanding. In a naval battle, if ten submarines fight against one medium-sized Battleship, what is the end result?"

Sun Haijun is not a fool.As soon as Li Guosheng's voice fell, he already understood his thoughts.Without the slightest hesitation.He replied directly and decisively: "Of course the submarine force will win. As long as the submarine force adopts the wolf pack tactics that the German Navy submarine force is very good at, it will fan the battleship with torpedoes from the bottom of the sea. No matter how powerful this medium-sized battleship is, There is only the fate of being sunk by dozens of torpedoes... >

After finishing speaking, Sun Haijun was still puzzled just now.His eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.Facing Li Guosheng, he asked thoughtfully.

"Army, what do you mean. Our naval force will be the same as the German Navy. Develop in the direction of the submarine force?"

"Yes...>

Speaking of this, it has been completely discussed, especially when seeing Sun Haijun's face in front of him, Li Guosheng also seemed to show a trace of interest.He no longer had the slightest worries, and directly told the blueprint for the development of the navy that he had already drawn in his heart.

Although Li Guosheng was born in the army, the history of the development of the Chinese navy in history and the future direction of the navy's development in his mind, after his thoughts were told, still severely shocked Sun Haijun, who was completely from the navy, and overturned Sun Haijun The idea of ​​a strong boat and a gun from a young age...>

After sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his mind for as long as 10 minutes, a very clear path for the development of the navy after Li Guosheng instructed him directly appeared in Sun Haijun's mind.

Although it is not clear whether this development path is correct or not.However, under Li Guosheng's explanation, Sun Haijun is fully aware of a fact: as far as China is concerned, even if the whole country is concentrated, under the surveillance and siege of the Japanese navy, it is impossible for a backward China to develop a military force. Powerful naval fleet.

Therefore, Li Guosheng outlined the development path of the navy for himself.It is currently the fastest and least conspicuous development path for China.

After a bit of shock and surprise, Sun Haijun didn't hesitate any more.Waiting for the reverence and admiration for Li Guosheng, he said directly with a confident face: "Thank you for the guidance of the military seat, I know what to do next... >

"I trust you...>

"Yes, Seat...>

Three hundred ex-naval officers and soldiers, or coastal fishermen, under the command of the naval squadron leader Sun Haijun, were training in full swing with three gunboats and one gunboat at Qingdao Naval Port.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who got a 150mm caliber naval gun, was also coordinated by Yu Xiansheng, commander of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.One hundred of the best artillerymen were removed from the whole army, together with hundreds of new recruits, the First Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Army Headquarters, was formally established...>

Conduct large-scale training in the entire army.Under the expectation of artillery brigade commander Yu Xiansheng and others, a [-]-ton German freighter finally docked at Qingdao Seaport.The first transaction between Li Guosheng of the Ninth Army and Germany was also successfully completed with the continuous unloading of equipment at the dock.

Qingdao was formerly the headquarters of the Japanese Navy.Looking at the various large-caliber artillery being sent to the pier continuously, under the reflection of the sun, various large-caliber artillery are emitting a faint blue light.Yu Xiansheng, the brigade commander of the artillery brigade, wished he could rush to the pier immediately and take all the artillery as his own.

Because, the many large-caliber artillery in front of me is definitely the first time I have seen it since I joined the army for ten years.at the same time.The number of artillery in front of him was something he had never seen before.

Thinking of the cannons stacked on the pier, they will immediately be assigned to him and become his weapon in the battlefield.In Yu Xiansheng's heart.It was just a nameless excitement.Facing Li Guosheng, he asked impatiently: "Army seat, with so many artillery pieces, how many pieces can be distributed to the heavy artillery brigade?"

"Hehe, look at our brigade commander Yu's anxiety... >

"Ah... >

In Yu Xiansheng's eyes, the minimum caliber of these artillery pieces is 75mm.Looking at the entire Chinese army, artillery of this caliber is definitely an artillery that can form an independent army.Therefore, from the beginning until now, Yu Xiansheng believed that all the artillery in front of him would be equipped with his heavy artillery brigade, especially those large-caliber howitzers.But now, Army Commander Li Guosheng actually told himself that only one-third of the artillery in front of him would be equipped with his heavy artillery brigade.

Anxious Yu Xiansheng directly thought that Li Guosheng would hide those large-caliber howitzers that make people jealous, and then equip some of the mountain artillery for himself.Therefore, as soon as Li Guosheng's voice fell, he asked back. At the same time, he stared at a pair of expectant eyes, waiting for Li Guosheng's answer.

The shrewd Li Guosheng, of course, saw through Yu Xiansheng's thoughts at a glance, and said, "Old Yu, it's also my fault, I didn't make it clear to you in advance. Among these artillery, those with a caliber of more than [-] mm will be equipped without any accidents. Go to your heavy artillery brigade. As for the remaining mountain artillery, I mean, all of them will be distributed to the division level, and artillery regiments and artillery battalions will be established under each division... >

"Thinking about the few battles we have experienced, the role of artillery fire on the battlefield is undoubtedly getting bigger and bigger. I am sure that on the battlefield, artillery, especially when it is exploded, is a large area of ​​​​large caliber Artillery can definitely be called the 'God of War'. As for the Chinese battlefield we are in, artillery is undoubtedly the most strategically deterrent type of arm."

"On a battlefield, if we do well, an artillery regiment, or even an artillery battalion, can change the situation on the entire battlefield. Therefore, my idea is, in order to increase the independent combat capability of my Ninth Army Division, Also in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is imperative to properly strengthen the divisions and artillery allocation...>

Li Guosheng's answer not only shocked Yu Xiansheng, who was born in artillery, but also shocked Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.

Because, among the millions of Chinese troops, no infantry regiment is really equipped with a battalion of large-caliber artillery.Even in many armies, the regiment-level troops can be equipped with a small-caliber mortar, which is already thankful.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili directly broke the tranquility of the headquarters, and asked excitedly with expectations for the future formation of the troops: "Sir, what do you mean, how do these artillery pieces be allocated to the troops below...>

"Old Yu's heavy artillery brigade has a total of three artillery regiments, one anti-aircraft artillery regiment, which are: a 36-door 105mm caliber howitzer regiment, a 36-door 150mm caliber heavy howitzer regiment, and a 36-door 120mm howitzer regiment. 36mm caliber cannon regiment, a 37mm caliber "anti-aircraft" artillery regiment with 144 guns, and a total of [-] artillery pieces in the whole brigade."

"Boom...>

because.According to what Li Guosheng just said, the configuration of the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Ninth Army is unique even in the whole country.

With such a powerful artillery unit in hand.What else is there to be afraid of?More importantly, the calibers of these artillery are rarely seen in China today.Of course, even against Japan's most elite field divisions, Yu Xiansheng also believed that with the strength of his artillery, he would have the ability to fight against the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.

After quickly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Xiansheng assured directly with a face of confidence: "Please rest assured, the military seat. I, Yu Xiansheng, swear here that I will guard these artillery. At the same time, let these artillery, let our heavy artillery brigade. Form combat power in the shortest possible time. Assist our Seventh Army, fight on the battlefield, and defeat all enemy artillery units...>

"Okay...>

"Yes, Seat...>

It was different from Yu Xiansheng's excitement and excitement.Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, after a short period of excitement.He immediately turned his attention to the hundreds of mountain cannons left at the pier.Facing Li Guosheng, who made him more and more admired, he asked directly. [

"Army, how do you plan to distribute the remaining mountain artillery, and those artillery that were eliminated from the original artillery regiment? Is it true that an artillery regiment is established at the division level, and an artillery battalion is established at the regiment level...>

"No one else can represent me, Li Guosheng can't have it. Chief of Staff, I believe that you, who have a certain understanding of the First World War, should know better than me about the statement that artillery is the god of war. So, as I just said, It is imperative for us to strengthen the configuration of the first-level artillery of the division...>

"More importantly, in my eyes, the future enemy of our Ninth Army will definitely not be any army in the country, but Japan, which is across the sea from us...>

Shocked, facing Li Guosheng's self-confidence, facing Li Guosheng's bluntly spoken opponent in the future war.Jiang Baili's face directly showed a shocked expression.

Of course, he who once studied in Japan is very aware of Japan's wolf ambitions.I am also very sure of one thing, there will be a war between China and Japan in the future.What I didn't expect was that Li Guosheng in front of me looked very young, but he had a more vicious vision than himself.

More importantly, at this moment, whether it is in the navy or the army.Li Guosheng in front of him has already begun to target the future war against Japan, against the terrible opponent of the Japanese army... Jiang Baili inadvertently admired Li Guosheng even more.

After the admiration, it is deep contemplation... >

"Junzuo, what are your specific thoughts?" Jiang Baili asked after a short period of contemplation.

"Among all the field troops under our Ninth Army, each infantry company is equipped with a three-door 60mm caliber light mortar platoon. Each infantry battalion is equipped with a nine-door German 82mm caliber medium mortar platoon. Mortar battery. Each infantry regiment is equipped with a battalion of 18 75mm caliber mountain artillery. Each main division is equipped with a regiment of 36 75mm caliber field artillery. As for the remaining Japanese infantry artillery and 81mm mortar Cannons, in order to avoid confusion in the supply of ammunition to the troops, all were eliminated and equipped to the local garrison troops...>

"According to this ratio of artillery equipment, in future battles against Japan, one of our infantry companies can completely fight against one infantry squadron of the Japanese army...>

"So much...>

After a short period of contemplation, another question came to Jiang Baili's mind, and he asked Li Guosheng: "Sir, according to the ratio of artillery deployment, our entire army needs at least 5000 artillerymen. With so many artillerymen , where do we find...>

"Two directions: First, draw out all the artillerymen and officers and soldiers who have attended school in the army, and hand them over to Lao Yu for intensive training. I believe that using the method of veterans leading recruits, we will be able to bring out some soldiers in a short period of time. Talented gunner."

"Second, try every means, no matter whether you use the ocean to buy it, or dig it elsewhere... Dig as much artillery as possible from other troops into our hands, and expand our own artillery force."

"After our army's artillery is sufficient and has fully formed its combat effectiveness, then according to their respective training results, the old Yu of the artillery brigade will conduct a unified reorganization. Finally, the artillery regiments and artillery battalions that have been organized will be divided into divisions one by one. group...>

"I think it can...>
