Chapter 292: The Rebuilt Combined Fleet


s: Asking for votes at the end of the month The Fifth Cruiser Detachment accelerated its speed and soon approached a position 500 meters away from the Japanese column, and began to "check" carefully.

At the same time, several seaplanes also ejected.

They passed over the Japanese ships at low altitude and inspected them calmly.

Chinese officers and soldiers carefully checked each Japanese ship according to the list of ships submitted by Japan and the illustrations of ships from various countries in their hands.

At this time, the composition of the combined fleet is: two Fuso-class battleships, two Ise-class battleships, four Kongou-class battlecruisers, and one Hosho-class aircraft carrier.

Two Aoba-class heavy cruisers, two Furutaka-class heavy cruisers, two Tianlong-class light cruisers, and five Kuma-class light cruisers.

Four Urakaze-class destroyers, four Isokaze-class destroyers, four Ekaze-class destroyers, and fifteen Minekaze-class destroyers.

In addition to the above combat ships, there are also the Notoro seaplane carrier and 13 oil ships, coal ships, supply ships, minesweepers and other auxiliary ships.

At this time, Huangshan's intelligence staff also reported to Li Ang: "Reporting to the detachment leader, after verification, the fleet's actual ships are completely consistent with those on the list."

Li Ang said: "Okay, I understand.

We will continue to follow them until we leave the National Defense Security Zone."

Lu Yishan, the political commissar of the detachment, said somewhat depressedly: "I didn't expect that the Japanese navy was completely wiped out by us two years ago, and now there are so many of them."

Li Ang replied: "This is not surprising.

When the war started with us, two King Kong-class battlecruisers had been built, and the other two were almost completed.

The construction of the four battleships had also started."

"But other aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and auxiliary ships were all started after the war.

Although the construction of these ships is less difficult, it is not easy to complete them in three years."

Li Ang smiled and said: "Haha, they are working at a wartime pace.

They work three shifts plus holidays.

I heard that dozens of people in their shipyard died of exhaustion in order to rush the work."

Qin Wenbin, chief of staff of the detachment, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, those Japanese people are really suffering enough.

I heard that once those workers collapse from exhaustion, they are kicked out without treatment at all.

Even if they are not exhausted, their wages are low It’s so pitiful that I can’t even get enough to eat.”

Domestic radio, television and newspapers have reported a lot about the lives of Japanese civilians and the luxury of the upper class.

On the one hand, it is of course to blacken Japan, and on the other hand, it is of course to give the people of this country an image to contrast.

If you don't occupy this kind of propaganda yourself, it will be occupied by others.

In this regard, Mr.

Wen has deeply learned the painful lessons of a certain dynasty, so he has been holding on tightly.

China’s propaganda is not fabricated out of thin air.

These things are real events that happened in Japan.

Because they are dark enough in the first place, there is no need for any artistic processing at all.

As long as they are reported according to the facts, it is shocking enough.

"However, I don't understand what they think when they have such a hard life and still work so hard."

Li Ang shrugged, saying that he could not understand the Japanese's thoughts.

Everyone also expressed their inability to understand.

They don't know that the so-called Japanese workers who were exhausted to death actually didn't want to work so hard at all.

This was all because the Japanese capitalists used a large number of "dali pills", "energy potions", "strengthening spirits" and "courage pills".

Sugar”, “Superman Syrup” and various other stimulants.

In later generations, these things were drugs that were absolutely prohibited by law, but at this time they were legal drugs and supplements.

They were widely used not only in Japan, but also in European and American countries.

In the fierce battles on the Western and Eastern Front battlefields, both armies were using these items, and they were even listed as important munitions by both sides.

As for the origin of these things, haha, you know.

China exports large quantities of these "special drugs for export only" every year.

Of course, only a small part of the products are sold directly in China, and more are sold through many foreign vest companies and in their names.

However, although they also use these things, other countries are not as ruthless as Japan.

They only use them in frontline armies.

They have never used them for workers like Japan.

After all, it is not easy to train a skilled worker, and it is not cost-effective to be a disposable product.

Except for situations like Japan where people are crazy and anxious, ordinary people really can't do it.

But the Japanese seem to be indifferent to this kind of thing.

In the history of the original time and space, Japan used a large number of this kind of things in the army during World War II.

In the past, the old Japanese army was generally considered to be very brave and not afraid of death.

This was the so-called "militarist brainwashing" It's just part of the reason, more of these things are at play.

After the war, Japan was still using it among civilians, resulting in frequent so-called "deaths from overwork", many of which were due to overdose.

After President Wen learned about this situation, he laughed at the short-sightedness of the Japanese government.

Everyone talked for a while, and then turned the topic to those Japanese warships.

Of course, these officers and soldiers didn't know that most of the Japanese ships in front of them were launched several years earlier than the original time and space.

This is also normal, because their original fleet has been emptied by China, so they naturally put all their energy on new ships.

Coupled with the strong support of Britain and France, the performance of their warships that qualified in advance is not only no worse than the original version, but even better.

There are no changes to the four King Kong-class ships.

Even if you want to change them, it's too late.

In addition to being built earlier, the Fuso-class and Ise-class seem to have little difference from the original version of the original time and space.

They are both "quasi-holy objects" with six twin-mounted 356mm 45 times caliber main guns, but their quality has improved.

A lot.

The Fuso-class is an improved and enlarged version of the six-turret Orion class of the New Kawachi-class.

The New Kawachi-class is an emergency product with many design flaws.

These flaws have been corrected on the Fuso-class.

The improvement of the Ise class went even further.

In the Sino-Japanese East China Sea Battle, the Japanese combined fleet was blown away by China's long-range artillery shells and torpedoes.

After that, their Ise class learned the lessons from the Sino-Japanese War and greatly strengthened the horizontal deck defense and underwater defense.

The damage protection against heavy artillery shells falling vertically from high altitude and underwater torpedoes was greatly increased.

In addition, the power system has been improved, from the original kerosene mixed-fired boiler to a heavy oil-fired boiler.

The power has been greatly increased, and the speed has been increased from 23 knots in the original version to 25 knots in this version.

As for cruisers, well, Japan currently does not have a division between "heavy cruisers" and "light cruisers".

According to their own standards, they should be "first-class" and "second-class" cruisers.

The former is equivalent to the Chinese standard heavy cruiser, and the latter is equivalent to the Chinese standard light cruiser.

For the convenience of this book, they are defined according to Chinese standards. .

The Aoba-class and Furutaka-class heavy cruisers are completely different from the ships of the same name in the original time and space.

First of all, the tonnage has increased.

The Furutaka-class standard has reached 11,000 tons, and the Aoba-class has reached 12,500 tons.

The armament has also changed to a four-seat twin-mounted 203mm 50-caliber main gun of British technology, instead of the original Japanese-made 200mm gun.

Although the difference between the two guns is only 3mm, the performance difference is extremely different.

There are also many changes to the Tianlong-class and Kuma-class light cruisers.

The displacement of the Tianlong-class has been increased to 4,000 tons, and the displacement of the Kuma-class has been increased to 6,000 tons.

The main gun was replaced with a 152mm main gun of British technology.

The original version was a 140mm main gun.

In addition, a depth charge delivery device was added.

Japan is a nation that likes to go to extremes.

In the original time and space, their navy has gone from victory to victory again and again since the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891.

They have never suffered any losses at all, especially from submarines.

Therefore, they are very concerned about submarines and anti-submarine warfare.

Extremely disrespectful.

The construction time of their submarines is generally about three years.

Yes, you read that right.

It takes Japan three years to build a submarine with a displacement of 1,000 tons, which is the same as a battleship.

Not to mention anti-submarine weapons.

Until World War II, the Japanese Navy's anti-submarine weapons became a joke.

Most of their light ships were not equipped with even one anti-submarine weapon.

Therefore, they were defeated by American submarines in World War II, but their own submarines performed mediocrely and were generally good.

After World War II, Japan's navy went to another extreme and turned into an anti-submarine fleet.

Japan's performance in this area is similar.

Because it has suffered enough from Chinese submarines, coupled with the wonderful performance of German submarines after the war, this re-established joint fleet also has a tendency to go to extreme anti-submarine warfare.

Since the Sino-Japanese War, their naval technical department has devoted a lot of energy to the research of anti-submarine weapons, and has achieved great results.

Not only did they take the lead in inventing the depth bomb projector, but also the "hedgehog bomb" Weapons that were only available in World War II in the original time and space were actually developed by them more than 20 years in advance.

Of course, things like "hedgehog bombs" are not high-tech, it is just a matter of thinking.

However, it was quite surprising that it could be invented by Japan, which had always ignored anti-submarine warfare.

At least Wen Desi was embarrassed when he got the news.

Of course, "hedgehog bombs" are what China calls them, and the Japanese themselves call this weapon "Taisho Four-Year Type 32-mounted Thunder Cannon."

That's right, their Hedgehog bombs come in 32-gun packages, which is a bit more than the original 24-gun cartridges.

Japan now has almost all its ships equipped with anti-submarine weapons.

Not only the light ships below the heavy cruiser level, but also capital ships such as battleships, battlecruisers and aircraft carriers, and even supply ships and coal ships.

Auxiliary ships such as these have also installed a few hedgehog projectile launchers wherever possible.

Anyway, this thing is light and does not take up space.

There is no need to make holes in the hull or make major modifications.

It is very convenient to install.

The changes in their destroyers are not big, but the displacement is larger than the original ones.

The smallest Urakaze class is also a thousand tons, and then they are equipped with a large number of anti-submarine weapons, from depth bomb slides, depth bomb projectors to hedgehog bombs.

It's all there.

Of course, this is also related to their current main mission being escort.

As for the Chinese Navy, which has vigorously promoted submarine technology in this dimension, it is certainly impossible to pull off such things as anti-submarine weapons.

The Chinese Navy is not equipped with depth charge projectors and hedgehog bombs because Mr.

Wen despises these things.

With the support of later generations' data, Mr.

Wen would naturally not take such a detour, but directly use anti-submarine rocket depth bombs.

This kind of thing can not only anti-submarine, but also anti-torpedo.

The "Yu 3" anti-submarine torpedo was developed last year.

On the contrary, the most primitive anti-submarine device such as the depth bomb slide rail has been retained.

One is because it is considered that some crowded times are not suitable for using rocket depth bombs, and the other is that it is used to drop mines.

Yes, the depth charge slide on Chinese warships is basically completely crooked.

Its main purpose is to drop mines.

At this time, the heavy cruiser Huangshan passed by the Japanese Hosho.

When he saw the Japanese aircraft carrier, Li Ang's face suddenly became embarrassed: "Made, these Japanese have completely copied our Yu Chao.

If it weren't for the different flags and different parked planes, I would definitely do it."

It is unreasonable to treat it as our own Yu Chao.

Look, the appearance of the entire warship is almost exactly the same, and even the position of the antenna has not changed."

Political Commissar Lu twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "I don't find it strange at all, because they have been copying our stuff since ancient times.

Even their former capital was named Luoyang.

I heard that they When we were designing the aircraft carrier, we bought several large-scale models of the Yu Chao from China.”

Yes, among the Japanese warships, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier is also one of the ships that has changed the most compared to the ship of the same name in the original time and space.

It almost completely copied the Chinese Yuchao, at least in appearance.

Political Commissar Lu was right.

The things they mainly used for reference were indeed models sold by Chinese toy companies, as well as some photos, videos and other materials published in various media.

Although the appearance looks good, the internal structure and subsystems cannot be copied.

A model is a model after all.

Because the power system is not as good as the Yuchao, the Fengxiang's maximum speed is only 28 knots.

Putting aside everything else, the carrier-based aircraft, the most important subsystem on the aircraft carrier, is something they have absolutely nothing to do about.

Because it was not until this year that China lifted its arms sales ban to Japan, and it was limited to army weapons.

It was only willing to sell them transport aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.

So the Japanese had to rely on their own efforts.

There were three types of carrier-based aircraft on the Fengxiang: Type 74 ship combat, Type 75 ship attack, and Type 76 ship explosion.

The Type 74 Ship Battle is the carrier-based version of the imported British "Puppy" fighter.

The Type 75 Ship Attack and the Type 76 Ship Explosion were both developed by them, but the engines were imported from the UK.

It is worth mentioning that the Type 75 Ship Attack is a three-winged aircraft with a very eye-catching shape.

The performance of these types of aircraft is not very good, at least from the perspective of China, it is very mediocre, but when it comes to the world, it is still pretty good.

However, these aircraft have a big disadvantage, that is, their wings cannot be folded.

However, the Japanese also had a way.

In order to increase the aircraft capacity, they added an additional hangar below the original hangar.

In this way, the aircraft capacity was actually more than the 36 aircraft of the Yu Chao, reaching 46 aircraft.

The Japanese are quite satisfied with their idea.

Look, without changing the dimensions of the original version, they just added an extra layer of hangar.

Look how smart I am.

However, they also do not want to think about the fact that China's Yu Chao is a test aircraft carrier and a training aircraft carrier, so there is a lot of space designed to be used as living quarters for sailors.

It is not impossible to build a double-layer hangar like the Japanese, but it is not necessary.

However, after the Japanese made such changes, the living space of the Fengxiang was greatly reduced.

Even if they did not install as many people as the Yuchao, the habitability of this aircraft carrier was very difficult.

Although the Japanese copycat behavior makes Chinese naval officers and soldiers a little uncomfortable, there is nothing they can do about it, because there are no patent restrictions on the appearance of weapons.

However, Mr.

Wen doesn't care much.

If you want to copy the appearance, just copy it.

Since we won't give you the drawings and core technology, no matter how awesome you are, you can only copy the cat.

Next, Japan's rebuilt joint fleet continued to move forward accompanied, or escorted, by the Chinese navy.

It was not until they passed the Wansheng Islands, formerly the Natuna Islands, at the southernmost tip of China's territory, and determined that they were far away, that the Chinese Navy took the team back home
