Chapter 953: The Sixth Mobile Fleet in the Persian Gulf II

readx; The establishment of an aircraft carrier battle group is not fixed, and almost every destroyer may be transferred to an aircraft carrier battle group to carry out tasks, so it also increases the training requirements of the Chinese Navy's auxiliary ships.

This time, when the Sixth Mobile Fleet was formed, combat ships were drawn from the Third Fleet and the Second Fleet, and in addition to the three latest cutting-edge Aoyama-class angled deck aircraft carriers, there was also a large cruiser, the Yangtze River, because in the past six months of the war, although the large cruisers of the Chinese Navy had many achievements, their own losses were also very great, except for one that sank in the battle, the other large cruisers participating in the war were all damaged, and the facts once again proved that these large cruisers were powerless in the face of enemy battleships. As a result, the outside world, including the Chinese Navy, has a mixed reputation for large cruisers, and the supporting side says that China's seven large cruisers played a huge role in the Sino-Chinese war, and cooperated with China's four battleships to effectively resist the attack of the battleships, providing favorable protection for their own aircraft carrier battle groups. The opponent naturally said that large cruisers had no role, and when they served as escorts, they could not stop the night attack of the enemy's high-speed battleships, and when they were on air defense missions, they played an effective role that was even equivalent to those 1,000-ton air defense cruisers in the Chinese Navy, and was far inferior to the air defense effectiveness of the Xing'an-class large air defense cruisers built by the Chinese Navy specifically for air defense.

It can be said that by this day in 1945, the specific tactical positioning of the remaining six large cruisers in the Chinese Navy has been embarrassing, but the embarrassment is embarrassing, as the artillery warship second only to the four battleships in the Chinese Navy, the role of large cruisers is still quite huge.

In addition to the Yangtze River, the Sixth Mobile Fleet also has two Fuyan-class air defense cruisers, as well as a large Xing'an-class air defense cruiser that has just been in service for a short time, in addition to two Fuguang-class light cruisers and up to 27 destroyers of various types. It almost covers the main ships of the Chinese Navy and the latest cutting-edge ships.

This lineup is almost the best aircraft carrier battle group lineup that the Chinese Navy can pull out now, and pulling such a lineup out is naturally not for idleness, but for show.

When the Sixth Mobile Fleet passed through Colombo under the banner of a friendly visit, it even invited officers of the British Navy to visit the ship, which naturally showed them some internal secret confidence, just to let them see the huge fleet lineup. Although the British naval officers still proudly believed that the British Navy was the best in the world, Britain was far behind China and the United States in terms of aircraft carriers, and even the fact that it was inferior to the United States had been ruthlessly proved in World War II. A few decades ago, it was the Chinese naval officers who drooled over a large number of British battleships, and now it is the British [***] officers who drool over China's huge aircraft carriers.

After a day in Colombo, the Sixth Mobile Fleet rounded the southernmost tip of the Indian Peninsula and headed straight for the Persian Gulf, where the only naval base controlled by the Chinese Navy in the Persian Gulf region, the Bandar Abbas Military Base, was fully prepared for the arrival of the Sixth Mobile Fleet.

Although the Indian Ocean Convention signed by China and Britain a few years ago limited the maximum number of troops that China can station in Bandar Abbas, such as the total tonnage of the navy cannot exceed 10,000 tons, but everyone knows that this is just a face-saving effort, and when the situation is tense, who cares so much, so in the past two years, the Chinese Navy's construction of Bandar Abbas has been built under the guise of a super-large naval port base, and a large number of deep-water berths are enough to dock a huge aircraft carrier battle group. In addition, a warehouse for the storage of supplies and a warship repair yard were built in Bandar Abbas, which was necessary for a large number of naval bases.

And these preparations in advance are also the best foothold for the Sixth Mobile Fleet, otherwise the Sixth Mobile Fleet will come from afar, and it is estimated that there will not even be a supply port.

It can be seen from this that the control of the Strait of Hormuz is only one of the reasons why Chen Jingyun did not hesitate to threaten to go to war with Britain and even gave up some of the interests of Burma to get Britain to agree to China's construction of such a naval base in Iran, and the other more important reason was to obtain an advance naval base for the Chinese Navy to enter the Arabian Sea. Without this base, the Chinese Navy has a huge aircraft carrier battle group, but it is also unable to directly cruise for a long time and threaten the Arabian Sea region.

To play the navy, you don't have to have aircraft carriers, you have to have naval bases all over the world, otherwise you have a hundred aircraft carriers and can only go around in your own coastal waters, and you can't do anything if you are a little farther away.

In order to build a global navy, in addition to ocean-going warships, it is necessary to have naval bases all over the world, and when the two are combined with each other, it can be regarded as a global navy.

In this regard, the Chinese Navy is still far behind, at most it is active in the Central Plain Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea is very reluctant, as for the Eastern Pacific, that is, the coastal area of the United States east of Pearl Harbor, it is difficult to even go there, and in the Atlantic, there are only a few small boats that go in the name of visits and exchanges, collecting hydrological and climatic data! If a naval commander had suggested that Chen Jingyun send the navy to fight in the Atlantic, Chen Jingyun would have to laugh twice and then scold him for being stupid and kick him twice.

There's not even a supply port, so it's hairy!

Even if there are nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered cruisers can't fight when they come out, and nuclear-powered cruisers can sail around the world, but you don't need aviation gasoline, ammunition, or food to fight a war. According to the experience of the Chinese Navy over the years, it has come to the conclusion that in an operational state, an aircraft carrier battle group must be replenished once every three days, and even if the battle is not fierce, it can support more than ten days at most.

Throughout World War II, what was the most of the countless types of warships built by China and the United States? Not a destroyer, and even less a cruiser and an aircraft carrier, but a transport! This is not to say that those standard freighters, but military standard fast transport ships, the speed is about 20 knots or higher, and the tonnage is not large, only 1,000 tons, but this construction is hundreds of hundreds of ships, without these transport ships, just fight a battle and then return to Hong Kong once every three days, how can you talk about blockade and say, 'Ben Tokyo Bay!'

Of course, the supply ship still belongs to a problem to be solved, but the supply port is an unsolvable problem for the time being, Chen Jingyun can't use a nuclear bomb to intimidate the countries along the Atlantic coast, you have to cede a naval port to me, otherwise I will bomb you with a nuclear bomb!

After the 6th Mobile Fleet made a long journey to Bandar Abbas, the 6th Mobile Fleet also carried out the entrance ceremony of standing on the deck and raising the national flag in accordance with naval tradition. If the Mengshan is to go back to rest and recuperate at a military port in China, the carrier-based aircraft wing on board the ship will take off and leave the ship in advance to arrive at the naval airfield on land for rest and training, while the aircraft carrier will enter the port empty-handed, and when it leaves the port to carry out its mission, the aircraft carrier will be re-admitted to the aircraft of the carrier-based aircraft wing to land and station. But now that Iran is here, the Sixth Mobile Fleet is strictly in a state of operation, and this carrier-based aircraft will naturally not go ashore, so it is directly brought into the port with carrier-based aircraft. However, only the Mongshan entered the port, while the other two aircraft carriers and most of the ships were cruising in the Persian Gulf.

It can't be said that all the fleets have entered the port, and then if Britain and the United States have a hot head and give Bandar Abbas an air raid, then Liao Hui will not have to cry to death.

However, although there was only one such as the Mongshan, it still caused a sensation when it entered the port with a cruiser and several destroyers, and many Iranian people on both sides of the port opened their eyes and let out all kinds of exclamations, and among these ordinary people, spies from various countries were naturally indispensable, and they all began to take pictures with long guns and short guns, although these photos did not seem to have any effect on the surface, but they were of great value in the eyes of the naval generals of various countries and shipbuilding experts, for example, compared with the photos of the Mongshan they had obtained before, to distinguish whether the Mengshan has changed in appearance, and if there is a change, you have to think: why did the Chinese Navy make changes? What does it do? There are also radars and other electronic equipment on the bridge, whether there is a difference, and once there is a difference, it is almost certain that there is a situation, that is, the Chinese Navy has developed a new model of radar, after all, it is naturally impossible to say that the surname can be worse or the same model to be replaced, but it will be replaced with a more advanced model, and at the same time, it will also look at the air defense guns, for example, the 75 mm anti-aircraft guns equipped with a large number of Mengshan have attracted the attention of some British and American naval generals, you must know that in the past and even to the present, The main medium-range air defense forces of the navies of various countries are all 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, but the Chinese Navy is leading the large-scale use of 75-mm anti-aircraft guns on top of 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and outsiders here may not understand, but the US Navy must understand because there is no need to think about it, this must be the stage where the Chinese' 75-mm VT fuse anti-aircraft shells have been fully put into practical use, why do you say this, because the Americans themselves do this.

Just a few photos can give spies from various countries a lot of confidence, but there is no way to leak this kind of information, because the port is so big, when entering the port, it can't be blocked at all, for example, in the port of Shanghai, because of the existence of the Yangtze River waterway, there is no secrecy at all, and this is also the reason why the Chinese Navy has moved its main bases out of Shanghai in recent years, where the secrecy is too poor, and everyone can get a lot of information about the Chinese Navy.

Under the guidance of the tugboat, after the Mengshan docked at the dock, Vice Admiral Liao Hui ushered in the Chinese officers in the base and the military top of the Iranian side who had been waiting for a long time!
