Learn from the current command system of the Pacific Fleet. Ouyang Yun still serves as the nominal commander-in-chief, but the actual highest commander is Chen Shichang. Below Chen Shichang, there are Qi Minghao and Xu Kai. Then there are squadron commanders such as Bian Jingdao. Ouyang Yun
When Chen Cheng and others commented on Chen Shichang, they were not objective, and they belittled Chen Shichang. It is true that Chen Shichang was born in the army, but he had a good cultural foundation, and he himself had a strong understanding. Today, he has grown up
In order to be a qualified senior naval commander, not only him, but also Bian Jingdao and others, who are not from the army. In the past, the battleship Beijing needed to sail long distances, and the French also needed to be in charge, otherwise there was a risk that it would not be able to come back.
Now, any captain under the Pacific Fleet, as long as he is given a complete team, he will be confident of commanding the Beijing ship back and forth on his own. After more than two years of training and running-in, although the qualifications of the Pacific Fleet are still immature,
, in fact, it is fully capable of taking charge of its own affairs.
With reconnaissance aircraft and radar, in naval warfare at this time, it is no longer possible to achieve a completely sudden sneak attack similar to World War I or even the Pearl Harbor incident in 1941. The advent of aircraft and radar has promoted navigation
The advancement of technology has further improved the technical level of naval warfare. These technologies include eavesdropping on enemy telegrams, or issuing false telegrams to confuse the enemy's audio and video, and many other espionage warfare methods, as well as weapons and equipment directly used in actual combat.
Technical innovation. As for the latter one, 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, ship-borne rocket launchers are not actually a core technological innovation. Another example is
Last year, officers and soldiers of the submarine force such as Xu Kai used the submarine-launched torpedo technology in the Green Sea Battle. Now Japan and the United States have mastered it. So, what is the most worthy of learning from the technological innovation that officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet are proud of? Ship-to-ship missiles
, air-to-ship missiles. From a technical perspective, 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 Eagle of the Xuebing Army has been able to use air-to-air missiles to fight the enemy, and the Japanese combined fleet is unprecedentedly powerful.
Under such circumstances, Ouyang Yun will naturally not ignore the design and application of ship-to-ship missiles and air-to-ship missiles. As a result, the Swordfish missile speedboat developed from the Swordfish torpedo speedboat came into being. So far, it has only served in the school.
The Pacific Fleet has as many as twenty-five Swordfish missile boats.
The high-level leaders of both Japan and Japan attached great importance to this decisive naval battle that determined the fate of the two countries, and almost all deployed their respective naval forces. As for the Japanese combined fleet, only three aircraft carriers and several other warships were left in the country.
On the domestic side, in addition to imitating the Pacific Fleet, the Haikou Fleet and the Dongshan Fleet also dispatched more than half of their warships to participate in this duel. The layout of the Japanese and Japanese sides is slightly different in that all the Japanese troops directly enter the front-line battlefield. On the domestic side, Ouyang Yun
The instructions given to Chen Yuanyang were to let them act independently and participate in the battle in their own accustomed way.
Among the three major fleets of the Xuebing Army, the Pacific Fleet is considered an ocean fleet, and the Haikou and Dongshan Fleets are offshore fleets. They are said to be offshore fleets, but they are also equipped with heavy cruisers of 10,000 tons or more, and have certain high-sea combat capabilities. This
This is also the reason why the Japanese army had to abandon the South China Sea waterway. Neither the Haikou Fleet nor the Dongshan Fleet needed to use heavy cruisers. They could only dispatch Song-class and Ming-class submarines and even Swordfish torpedo speedboats to attack the Japanese transport fleet. Submarines have good lurking capabilities.
Swordfish sailing is super fast, so even if the Japanese army dispatched a large-scale escort fleet, they still could not form a containment, not only wasted fuel, but also hurt morale. Therefore, the Japanese simply gave up the Yellow Sea route and switched to the Philippine Sea.
Traveling between mainland China and Southeast Asia via the Pacific Ocean, even if it increases the duration of the voyage, we will not hesitate.
Chen Ce entered the headquarters, and the Haikou Fleet and Dongshan Fleet were all under the command of Chen Yuanyang. Chen Yuanyang was famous for his boldness. The order given to him by the headquarters was to act independently and in his own accustomed way.
Since joining the war, he actually didn't have high expectations for it. Chen Yuanyang was quite unhappy about this, thinking that the commander-in-chief was looking down on people and that he did not treat the Haikou and Dongshan fleets as a dish. On the day when the telegram from the headquarters arrived, he
He convened a telephone conference with the top leaders of the two fleets in Haikou. At the meeting, after reading this order, he bluntly stated: We have no aircraft carriers or battleships, and there are only six heavy cruisers in total. It is also true that the commander-in-chief is not optimistic about us.
It makes sense. However, the Commander-in-Chief can ignore us, but we ourselves must not give up on ourselves! So what if we don’t have a big ship? Do you still remember? In the Battle of the Green Sea, wasn’t the Canglong captured by us? Brothers! We are subject to the voyage.
It is impossible for us to go to the Indian Ocean to participate in the war, but we must also achieve considerable results to declare our existence...
No wonder Chen Yuanyang feels 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. The fleet fleet
, where there are ships, there is a fleet. Although the Haikou and Dongshan fleets do not have any major combat missions, they are still attrition. This makes Chen Yuanyang have to worry that over time, the Haikou and Dongshan fleets will be left empty-handed, and then they will be directly banned.
Dongshan Fleet has grown to its current size, and he has put a lot of effort into it. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as his child. Being banned is naturally equivalent to carving out the flesh in his heart, which he absolutely cannot accept.
Ouyang Yun didn't expect this. Although Yamamoto Isoroku knew about the existence of these two fleets and hated them deeply, he didn't pay much attention to them. He just thought they were two lingering flies. In Yamamoto's idea, this
Of course the two flies must be exterminated, but not now, but after the Xue Pacific Fleet is annihilated.
In terms of treatment, there is no difference between the officers and soldiers of the Haikou and Dongshan fleets and the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet. However, as Chen Yuanyang emphasized, because the whole country is now paying attention to the Pacific Fleet, the naval policy of the Pacific Fleet has also been influenced by the Ministry.
All tilted, the officers and soldiers of these two fleets, especially the officers, really had a sense of existential crisis. As soon as Chen Yuanyang finished speaking, there was a quarrel in the Haikou conference room and Dongshan conference room: Yes, we must not give up on ourselves! Yes, we
It’s not like I’ve never sunk a large Japanese ship with a small ship. What about the Swordfish? It can also sink an aircraft carrier!
…
What no one expected was that the two offshore fleets of China, which no one in the world cared about, fired the first shot of the great naval showdown between Japan and Japan, and achieved impressive results.
