New Warlords 1909

Li Hongzhang?Hua Fei smiled, Gao Guangzheng has an impulsive personality, young and passionate, Hua Fei has long understood this.Although this is not a good character for a commander, the navy under him has a very strong will to fight.Since the establishment of the navy, although he has not achieved great results, every time he fights, the fierce style is often frightening. Hua Fei knows all about this!

However, Hua Fei's refusal to allow the navy to fight may be somewhat similar to Li Hongzhang's mentality back then.The difference is that the Beiyang Fleet back then was fully capable of fighting the Japanese army, but today's autonomous region navy is far from being an opponent of the Japanese navy.Hua Fei couldn't kill the nascent navy in its cradle just because of a moment of courage.

The navy is different from the army. This completely high-tech arm cannot turn the tide of battle just because of the morale or fighting will of the soldiers.The gap in strength cannot be made up by the fighting spirit of the soldiers.Moreover, the main warships of the First Fleet had already retreated to Neijiang, and now they had lost the excitement of the sea. Under the main artillery fire of the enemy's United Fleet, it was difficult to get many fighters.

So at the end of Gao Guangzheng's speech, not only his companions were dumbfounded, but even he himself felt that what he said seemed a bit exaggerated.If you say that any soldier in the country today is timid and afraid of fighting, some people may still believe it.Commander Hua, who has risen all the way through war, has a tough style of acting and a ruthless iron fist. He is recognized abroad as a representative of the iron-blooded hawks.You said that such a character would be a cowardly and fearful person, would anyone believe it?Besides, do the cowardly and timid people dare to declare war on Japan with the strength of one person when the Japanese army invaded Shandong and when the central government did not express its position?

"Commander..." Gao Guangzheng came to his senses, and said, "Commander, I didn't mean that, I meant... Hey, Commander, let us go to war. I, Gao Guangzheng, are willing to issue a military order with the head of my head, so that we will not be defeated. Japanese Navy, I will kill myself to thank the commander for his kindness!"

"Okay!" Hua Fei waved his hand, stood up and looked at the navy generals and said seriously, "It's very good that you have such a strong will to fight, and I'm very happy. But we not only have the will to fight, but we also have to fight Wisdom and strategy. We not only want to win the immediate battle, we also want to win the war in the future.”

"I hope you will remember one sentence, our war has just begun, our Chinese nation

The battle has just begun.In the future, you will be required to fight a lot more, so don't be in a hurry for this momentary excitement!Think about it, even if you go to war, you will completely repel the Japanese navy!But who of you can guarantee that you can bring me back all the six main battleships of the First Fleet intact and intact?Um? "

Not only were the other captains silent, but Gao Guangzheng was also silent.In fact, when he came to ask for a fight, he had the determination to die.Completely repel the Japanese Navy, and still unscathed?It's not a dream anymore, it's a brain burnt out.

"Okay, no one is sure! Then here comes the problem." Hua Fei walked to the map, pointed to the vast eastern sea area and said, "Our First Fleet is gone. What do we use to cruise our vast land? Sea area? What do we use to block the enemy's waterway and transportation line? This is Ryukyu, which used to be our vassal country. What do we use to recover? This is Taiwan, which is now occupied by Japan. Everyone knows whose territory it belongs to. Without your navy , what shall we use to recover our land?"

"Look here again, everyone. This is Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, and a large area of ​​land in the northeast. Since 858, Russia has occupied more than 150 million square kilometers of our land. More than 150 million, my comrades, who do you remember? Maybe none of you know it, but I can't forget it!"

"And here, here..." Hua Fei's fingers slid across the national border one by one, his tone was low, and his face concealed unspeakable grief.An oriental empire has brought a glorious civilized land into such an ignorant situation because it is immersed in slavery rule.Sadly, under the education of foolish people, few people know about the land cut off by Russia today.

Everyone opened their mouths, and the surprise in their eyes was enough for them to go back and digest for a few days.They always thought that they couldn't understand the commander, but at that moment just now, many people present seemed to understand the commander.The staff officers looked away from the topographic map, and all eyes were fixed on the big map hanging in the center of the war room, and everyone was silent.

"The navy has a long way to go. I hope you will remember my words and share your ambitions!"

Hua Fei's last words echoed in the ears of everyone present for a long time.

I don't know when, these captains left the combat staff headquarters without saying a word.Many people turned on the lamp to turn over the books when they returned home. Unfortunately, there are few historical records in the country, but few relevant records can be found.In the end, someone turned up a map of the Qing Dynasty before the Opium War, and everyone stared at the map in a daze.The navy has a long way to go. Only now did everyone understand how much expectation Hua Fei's words contained.

The adjutants present quietly wrote down what Hua Fei said just now. The next day, these few words were sorted out and published in the Jagged Military News, which once again aroused huge repercussions in the army and society.Some scholars began to study related materials. After a large number of Opium Wars, historical facts deliberately concealed by the Qing court were published in newspapers one after another, which aroused a larger wave of patriotic demonstrations to avenge shame.

Not only has the entire autonomous region declared war on Japan to a new height, but other places have also been affected by this propaganda, and public opinion is boiling.Use war to avenge shame, use war to wash away all unequal treaties left by the great powers, and become the burning impulse of passionate young people.

Public opinion is a double-edged sword. Hot blood can greatly arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, and it can also make this impulse slide to the brink of getting out of control.Seeing the intensification of hatred towards foreigners in some places, there is a vague trend of chaos.Hua Fei immediately supervised most of the media and controlled the publication of related radical remarks.At the same time, it released some crimes committed by the Japanese army in Liaodong during the Sino-Japanese War, including photos related to the Lushun massacre, diverting this hatred.

In addition, it also ordered the News and Propaganda Department of the autonomous government to organize propaganda forces, improve the people's openness and development mentality, and publicize the tolerance of a big country.He has repeatedly promoted legal awareness, and severely cracked down on all illegal acts, no matter what their motives are.Although this matter was criticized by many freedom of the press people, and some people criticized Hua Feidi's corruption, but the situation did not finally get out of control, and the national consciousness of the society was unprecedentedly improved.Whether it is ordinary people or soldiers, there are too many conversations with each other. When to take back the Ryukyu Island and when to take back the land in the far north has become a hot topic.These are all things to say, a brief summary.

It was night, and the second regiment of the first heavy artillery regiment of the first army quickly drove to the predetermined position after receiving the order.Heber and other military chiefs felt itchy and went to the front line to direct the shelling.

Xia Song, head of the First Artillery Regiment of the First Division, originally graduated from the Anqing School of Surveying and Mapping, and later entered the Jagged Military Academy, where he studied artillery.It turned out that in the first regiment of the New Army, the artillery at that time was poor. There were only a dozen 57mm and 75mm small guns purchased from the United States.Now it's really a shotgun change, and his heavy artillery regiment is all heavy artillery with calibers of 25m, 52mmm, and 00mmm.Artillery with a caliber of less than [-]mm is not eligible to enter the equipment sequence of the heavy artillery regiment.

This time, because the target was a warship on the sea, the dozens of towed cannons pulled out were all towed by 5T trucks produced by Thunder Motor Company, and used armor-piercing shells produced by Jiangnan Plant itself.

"How is it? Is the target easy to target?" Li Qianyu, the commander of the First Division, was obviously more nervous than the army commander Heber, looking at Xia Song who was constantly calculating relevant data, and asked nervously.

"It's a bit difficult!" Xia Song quickly put down the ruler, and said after a little consideration, "We can only judge the position based on the firelight of the enemy's guns. Fortunately, we are very familiar with the terrain here. After one to three rounds of corrections, we can put the Half of the impact points are concentrated near the warship!"

"Three rounds? No, it's too long!" Heber replied immediately.Although the rate of fire of the new 52mm cannon can reach 6 rounds per minute, the speed of calibration is not as fast.After three rounds of corrections, the enemy ship may have launched a counterattack.However, in a temporary position without any defensive facilities, after being counterattacked, it would undoubtedly be disastrous for the artillery. "Only one round of calibration fire at most, and then hit two shells. After 30 seconds, immediately evacuate the current position at high speed, and move to the next position to continue shooting!"

Once the commander speaks, it is an order.Don't look at Heber as a German, but he has rich combat experience, and his command of operations is spotless, and he is deeply trusted by generals at all levels in the army.This is also an important reason why he, as a foreigner, eventually served as the commander of the First Army.

Xia Song quickly calculated on paper, including the retreat time after shooting. In this way, it is possible to withdraw from the position one minute after the shooting, and withdraw from the existing positions within 1 minutes.At that time, even if the Japanese army reacted and covered this area with vague artillery fire, they would not suffer losses!

"Yes, execute the order immediately!"

184 Armistice negotiations?No talking!

There are three artillery battalions under the First Heavy Artillery Regiment, with a total of nine artillery companies. /first/two 25mm guns and two 52mm guns each, for a total of 36 heavy guns.The Heavy Artillery Regiment of the First Army is considered to be the army with the strongest firepower in the entire National Defense Army. Only the First Heavy Artillery Regiment is fully equipped with such equipment, and the second and third regiments are not fully equipped.Not to mention the second and third armies that are fighting on the Shandong frontline. Most of them are equipped with mortars and 57mm and 75mm field guns. As for the heavy artillery regiment similar to the first army, they have not yet been formed.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Staff and Operations Department allocated a batch of 54m cannons that were originally prepared to be distributed to the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Second Army and the Third Army by the Equipment and Military Supplies Department. .In this way, the standard one-time firepower of the Heavy Artillery Regiment under the First Army reached 05 artillery pieces.Such a powerful firepower output is extremely rare even in the current European war.You must know that at the beginning of World War I, the French army had only 300 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber above [-]mm.

It was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and Shanghai in mid-December had already entered the deep winter season.Although it is sunny tonight, the sky is pitch black, coupled with the knife-like cold wind, it makes people feel uncomfortable.But the Japanese army on the sea seemed to be addicted to it. Seeing that the Changxing Island Fort seemed to be silent, and the Wu Fort couldn't reach them, the shells hit them more violently, as if those shells were made of clay and cost no money.

Although the cold wind is like a knife outside, the artillerymen under the coastal defense turret of Changxing Island are not feeling well. Although they have solid bunker protection, under the intensive bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery, the vibration brought by the shock wave still makes people's internal organs dance. , People are also nauseated and want to vomit.As for the ears, they have been buzzing for a long time, and they can't hear what the person on the other side is saying.

Following Xia Song's series of shooting orders, fifty or forty artillery pieces were lined up, the shells were loaded, and aimed at the Japanese warships on the river.

"One company, three companies, six companies, even the flares are ready, let's go! The fifth company is based on the four cannons, let's go!"

As Xia Song gave the password continuously, multiple flares were fired quickly.The flare opened the parachute in the air, swayed and fell down, illuminating the entire river as if it were daytime, and all the enemy ships had a panoramic view.

The benchmark test gun was then fired, blasting several high-rising water columns on the river.

"Armor-piercing trigger delay fuze, No. charge, table, reference shot 2

"Calibration, scale [-], shoot to the right, five bursts!"

"Five: rapid ejaculation..."

"!"

"put!"

"fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

After the flare illuminates the river.The commanders of each artillery company quickly made adjustments to shooting elements based on visual inspection.After the reference bomb is dropped.A series of shots and various metadata adjustment orders were issued quickly.Then the launch orders were issued one after another independently.Time is tight.Just can't pursue accurate shooting calculation method.

Dozens of cannons fired almost at the same time, and the flames from the cannonballs made the entire river bank instantly feel like daylight.The continuous bombardment of the combined Japanese fleet fully exposed their position, but it greatly facilitated the position measurement and calculation of Xia Song and others in advance.After launching several rounds of measuring bombs, the accuracy can be improved as quickly as possible.

Because this bombardment was fired at night, most of the targets were battleships and battlecruisers with huge displacement.When the flares lit up in the sky, the observers on the Japanese warship discovered the situation here.Their reaction was considered quick, and the siren sounded quickly.However, before their captain issued an order to counterattack, the first round of bombardment covered strikes had already arrived.

boom!boom!boom!

Although it was shooting indistinctly at night, because the Yangtze River Estuary is such a large area, several main battleships of the enemy have gathered.Dozens of shells were fired, but a few armor-piercing high-explosive shells hit the enemy, and the explosion occurred instantly, igniting a raging fire on the enemy ship.

With the help of the flames ignited on the enemy warships, it can be seen that countless sailors are fighting the fire with all their strength.And with the firelight as the target, the subsequent shooting will be more accurate.Another round of artillery fire coverage, violent shelling and bombing, even the artillerymen hiding under the cover of the coastal defense turret were aware of it.Because the artillery fire outside seems to be more violent, but I can't feel the disgusting vibration wave anymore.

At this time, many Shanghai citizens who were already restless and unable to sleep opened their windows in surprise and looked towards the Yangtze River Estuary.Those who are used to the sound of the Japanese navy's artillery can hear the difference between these artillery sounds.Some people were so excited that they wanted to go out and find a high ground to see what was going on. However, the military was under martial law outside, and the inspections were even stricter.At that moment, he had no choice but to go back to bed excitedly, hold his wife in his arms and make out fiercely, and suppressed his impulse to shout, "Our artillery has counterattacked, and finally started to fire, let's fight more fiercely!"

There were also reporters from various newspaper offices who stayed up all night, holding cameras in their arms, hesitating.Some people still can't make up their minds to risk their lives to go to the front line to take pictures.Some people gritted their teeth after seeing the artillery regiment start to fight back, and quickly braved the cold wind and sank into the night.

"Put! Let go! Let go!"

Even though the sound of the artillery was deafening, the voice of the commander's command seemed to penetrate the noise and reach the ears of every gunner again.

Bang bang bang...!

This winter night was destined not to be peaceful, and the Japanese navy quickly retreated while turning its guns and began to fight back.However, by the time they turned around the muzzle, the shells were loaded and the artillery fire began to retaliate, the artillery positions there had already been withdrawn seven or eight times.
