Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

In fact, Jiang Haoran did not dislike Chen Shaokuan, on the contrary, he even admired him somewhat.

Chen Shaokuan, whose name is Houfu, was born in Fujian in 1890. His father was a craftsman who made wooden hoops, and later joined the navy as a sailor.Affected by family education and his father, Chen Shaokuan has been very interested in the navy and aircraft carrier career since he was a child. At the age of 17, he entered the Naval Academy to study navigation technology. After graduation, he joined the navy of the Qing Dynasty.After the Revolution of 1926, Chen Shaokuan joined the National Revolutionary Army and served as an adjutant in the Navy. Later, because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to acting captain, and he also got the opportunity to study in Europe.During the First World War, because of his meritorious service in the British Navy, he was accused of participating in the Paris Peace Conference as a representative of the Chinese Navy. After that, he came up with the idea of ​​revitalizing the Chinese Navy.After returning to China, Chen Shaokuan became the commander of the navy. In [-], the Nationalist Government began the Northern Expedition, and Chen Shaokuan took the fleet to join the revolutionary army in Guangzhou.

Afterwards, Chen Shaokuan proposed to the Chairman many times to divide the war zone and build [-] aircraft carriers, but the Chairman didn't want to pay, but wanted to win people's hearts, so he kept procrastinating for five or ten years, with no deadline.

Chen Shaokuan once submitted to the Ministry of the Navy the configuration of the British fleet that he had summarized when he was studying in the navy, and he also discussed with everyone the plan to combine the navy and air force to fight.However, the chairman was not interested in his plan, and just used boasting to appease him.The chairman's mind is all on the air force, and he has always been unwilling to spend enough military expenditure on the navy, making it difficult for Chen Shaokuan's dream of an aircraft carrier to become a reality.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Shaokuan led the naval fleet to fight in Jiangyin.The Japanese army used aircraft carriers and dispatched hundreds of planes. All the main ships of the Chinese navy were wiped out, and all their assets were wiped out. The Chinese navy was also completely reduced to a guerrilla force on the water.After this campaign, Chen Shaokuan became more eager to build an aircraft carrier.

After the war, he once again proposed the establishment of an aircraft carrier group, imagining that the coast of China would be divided into four naval districts. The first district was from Andong, Liaoning to Shandong Peninsula Chengshantou, the second district was from Chengshantou to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the third district was from the mouth of the Yangtze River. To Shantou, Guangdong, the fourth area is from Shantou to the border of China and Vietnam.Each district will set up a coastal defense fleet with five aircraft carriers, and a total of 4 aircraft carriers will be needed along the coast of the country, each costing 18 billion yuan.

Many people, including the chairman, were dumbfounded by this plan.Chen Shaokuan said: "The country cannot save this money."

But the question is, where can the national government get this money?Although Chen Shaokuan's idea was good, it was purely a dream.

The appearance of Jiang Haoran shocked the news that China has a large shipyard in the United States. It not only produces aircraft carriers and ships, but also leases the self-produced aircraft carriers to the United States. This is undoubtedly good news for Chen Shaokuan. The "aircraft carrier dream" revived overnight.

The reason why Jiang Haoran admires him is not because of everything he has done for the Chinese navy, nor is it because of the gimmick that later generations publicized him as "China's aircraft carrier No. 1", but because he only has the navy in his eyes and no Politics, and when the Civil War began, he refused to participate, resigned and went into seclusion.

After all, Jiang Haoran went out to meet the two senior officials. He didn't have to listen to anyone, but he still wanted to listen to Chen Chen's words. It wasn't because Chen Chen was his prospective father-in-law, but because he knew that Chen Chen was really thinking about him. He also believed that Chen Chen must have spent a lot of effort in order to ease the rift between him and the Chairman.

The arrival of the two will not change the situation of the battle. Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the air force, cannot command the air force. In this regard, Jiang Haoran still believes in Ye Zhaofeng, because Zhou Zhirou's methods are completely outdated. Of course, he The more than 100 fighter jets he brought gave Jiang Haoran a lot of confidence.

As for Chen Shaokuan, it is purely soy sauce now, and the expeditionary force does not have a navy.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, what Jiang Haoran was worried about finally happened. The Japanese air force began to frantically march over Burma, and the largest and most tragic air battle over Burma kicked off.

First, the Fifth Flying Regiment and the Second Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army Aviation, with nearly [-] fighter jets and bombers, attacked from multiple routes and multiple points, trying to tear through the air defenses of the Chinese and American coalition forces, but they were all successfully intercepted. Indomitable fighting spirit and fearless spirit blocked the Japanese planes in the sky fifty miles away from the battlefield.

But in the afternoon, the situation took a turn for the worse. The Japanese naval carrier-based aircraft joined the battle, and threw three or four hundred carrier-based aircraft into the battlefield at one time. , More than 100 planes rushed over from Kunming Wujiaba Airport rushed into the air battle, but they still couldn't stop the Japanese offensive.

Jiang Haoran hastily called Stilwell, requesting the U.S. Navy to step up its naval attack to ease the pressure on Burma.But then Stilwell called back. It wasn't that the United States didn't try its best, but that the Japanese army seemed to have prepared for it. The four combined fleets composed of eight aircraft carriers were swimming between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The US Navy didn't dare to get too close, let alone It's such a tall thing to increase the attack power.

Jiang Haoran was a little dumbfounded. He knew that all of this was the result of leaking secrets. The Japanese army not only made preparations for land defense, but also made corresponding adjustments for the navy. After all, it was not the first time Jiang Haoran played this move. , even if the Japanese army is a pig, it will think of this layer.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of Japanese aircraft appeared in the sky above Yingdo and Ruigu. The front positions of the expeditionary force on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suddenly suffered an unprecedented round of catastrophe. Fighters strafed back and forth, and bombers dived and bombed. Moan.

The most tragic thing was on the cable bridge. At this time, the entire cable bridge has been covered with wooden boards, and the new 38th division has already started to cross the river at full speed. Jiang Haoran originally planned to drive all the new 38th divisions to the other side.

But who knows, the enemy plane will come sooner or later, and it will come at this juncture.Aerial bombs rained down on the river, and the huge waves on both sides of the bridge almost put the whole bridge in the flood, appearing and disappearing in the water column, and the bridge shook violently as a result. Rolling down from the bridge and falling into the torrential river, and the Inovady River, which is said to be unable to float the goose feathers, once the soldiers fell into the water, they would be declared dead.

But the biggest threat is not the aerial bombs. The bridge deck is covered with wooden boards. Even if the aerial bombs hit the bridge, they will smash through the wooden boards and fall into the river. Shrapnel damage and shock waves.
