887. Subvert tradition

The loss of the Korean Peninsula by the little devils can be described as the most painful defeat in the past 60 years. Bai Shujie believes that the little devil will definitely take revenge.

Although the threat was made in the form of an "ultimatum", it is not known what the little devil will do.

The fortress of Rajin was lost, and the connection between the main island of the little devil and the Kwantung Army was completely cut off. The little devil's reliance on the resources of the three eastern provinces to develop the domestic economy has now become a fantasy.

In fact, an "ultimatum" concocted by Bai Shujie really played a huge deterrent role.

Earlier, when I heard the news that the "Korean People's Liberation Army" had launched a full-scale offensive, the little devil's staff headquarters was completely stunned: Who is Xian Yu Tongwu? Why is there such a big guts?

The little devil's staff couldn't find the answer, and there was no time for them to find it. Because both divisions are urgently calling for help. Therefore, the main attention of the Cabinet and the General Staff Headquarters was originally focused on "how to reinforce the 19th and 20th divisions".

Later, the 19th Division discovered that the "Korean People's Liberation Army had robbed" the Soviets of four super warships, and the base camp of the little devils became even more nervous.

Because after the Soviets drove the battleship to the Kraskinno pier, the Japanese foreign minister lodged a strong protest.

The explanation given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR was: "It is only for the purpose of using the waves and tides to verify the balance of the new battleship, so the battleship is not equipped with operators at all, and there is no intention of taking hostile actions against friendly countries, and I hope that there will be no misunderstanding." ”

The North Korean "traitors" actually snatched away the four super battleships of the Soviets, and if they were used to bomb the fortresses of Rojin and Ronan, the 460mm naval guns on the battleships would bombard the fortresses for a long time, and the people inside would eventually be shocked to death.

Once the fortress is lost, the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Army can drive straight in, and then it will be in the Japanese Inland Sea, and the entire Japanese archipelago will be under the attack of the Soviet Red Army.

The matter is urgent, and it is too late to send infantry to the Korean Peninsula by ship. Therefore, Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe was in a hurry and instructed the Navy to quickly dispatch a strike force to contain the further deterioration of the situation.

The USS Kaga, the Empire's naval training base, has the world's top sailors and naval aviation. In addition, the Kaga had just completed modernization and was replaced with a new carrier-based attack aircraft, and it needed adaptive training, so Yamamoto Isoroku sent it out.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I hope that the Kaga aircraft carrier will come with the news of the victory of sinking the enemy battleship. But the little devils up and down did not expect that four hours after the departure of the aircraft carrier Kaga, contact would suddenly be lost, and then they would get an "ultimatum" issued by the command of the Korean People's Liberation Army!

Whether Admiral Minamijiro and Admiral Kotaro Nakamura have been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor can be investigated slowly.

The worst thing is that for the mysterious cannon mentioned in the "ultimatum", the effective range can sink an aircraft carrier from a distance of 280 kilometers, which is simply unheard of.

However, after checking the calculations, the relevant military technical experts on the island of Little Devils actually thought that "there is such a possibility as zĂ i in theory"!

If there really is a mysterious cannon in the world that can hit 280 kilometers away, it will definitely be invincible at this stage. This is a big problem and must be thoroughly investigated.

In a hurry until the afternoon of the next day, the little devil finally sent an aviation unit to search the nearby waters, but only saw a wrecked plane floating on the water, and the Kaga aircraft carrier did not even find half a hair, but got the bad news that the two divisions were completely annihilated.

There is no clear conclusion about the matter, "the mysterious cannon that can sink an aircraft carrier from a distance of 280 kilometers", now no one dares to say that there is, no one dares to say that there is none! There are no wonders in the world, and no one can completely disbelieve in evil.

In order to confirm the probability of the appearance of the "mysterious cannon", His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an edict: "Instruct the cabinet to form an expert research group to come up with practical conclusions as the basis for future military and technical decisions of the empire." ”

The little ghost was busy calculating the possible ultimate range of the cannon, and Bai Shujie had long forgotten about the ultimatum, because he was now entangled in a lot of things, and he didn't have time to think about how the little devil would act.

First of all, passive radar has already been developed. Because there is no need for a frequency transmitter, this radar is very simple, with only one receiver and processor. Therefore, the first batch of 1,200 "shore-based passive radars" has been produced, and now it is necessary to deploy them to play a role.

Under Bai Shujie's order, the Korean Peninsula was divided into three rows from north to south, and "planted" all the way, and the three-layer early warning radar network began to take shape. The radar officers of the militia command were then instructed to conduct the interception. In order to facilitate the transmission of information by radar troops, telephone lines covering the Korean Peninsula were connected.

In order to make use of these telephone lines, telephone offices in villages and towns were set up one after another, which completely changed the way of communication on the Korean Peninsula. It not only facilitates the daily life of the common people, but also provides convenience for strengthening the rule of the whole island and implementing the practice of all-soldier recruitment.

With such a group of silent sentinels, Bai Shujie thought that it was impossible for the little devil to launch a surprise attack and learn to engage in blitzkrieg by himself.

The second is naturally the issue of warship modification and construction.

The four warships built by the Soviets were originally implemented in accordance with Bai Shujie's design parameters, and the power system only needed to replace the newly developed turbine units of the Comprehensive Research Institute, and the boilers did not need to be adjusted. The biggest task is to outfit the radar, fire control system, and update the weapon system.

What Bai Shujie personally supervised was to transfer the Jewish shipbuilding predator Besa Schwartz, transfer all his capable forces, take over the three shipyards of the Japanese in Wonsan Port, and then repair the Kaga aircraft carrier and two Akizuki-class destroyers.

The people inside the Kaga aircraft carrier, including the captain Yoshitomi said that the three major sa, had all suffocated to death.

The 90 97 carrier-based attack planes, 36 of which were on the upper deck ready to take off for battle, all fell into the sea. Although the 1st Division of the DPRK People's Liberation Army salvaged 17 aircraft, they are no longer of use for the time being, and they are currently being modified at the aircraft factory.

At present, only 36 fighters in the second hangar are left, and the other is the 18 spare fighters in the bottom hangar of ZĂ i, a total of 54.

Although the attack performance of the 97 ship is not good, it can be dealt with at present, so Bai Shujie ordered all the aviation troops to fly to the Jiufeng Mountain airfield, so that the Mengen team could continue to use it after a comprehensive inspection.

As for the issue of carrier-based aircraft on the Kaga aircraft carrier, Bai Shujie had other considerations, so he did not increase the number of attack planes, and used these 54 97 ships to attack and deal with them for a period of time. However, in order to realize the predetermined vision in mind, the Kaga aircraft carrier still has big problems to solve.

There are two biggest problems with the Kaga aircraft carrier:

First, there is a problem with the power system, 8 boilers, 4 steam turbines, 4 shaft power is only 127,400 horsepower, and the speed can only reach 28 knots.

Even Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the Navy, thought it was a "veteran ship" and did not want it to participate in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor back then, if it were not for the fact that the aviation on it was very powerful.

For this kind of slow, small-footed old woman-like speed, Bai Shujie is naturally even less interested. So all four steam turbines were pulled out and thrown aside, and they were replaced with their own new ones. The power of the 4-axle reached 192,000 horsepower, and the speed was increased to 35 knots.

The second area that needs to be overhauled is that the island bridge of the Kaga aircraft carrier has been completely destroyed and needs to be reinstalled.

This problem is not big, anyway, Bai Shujie needs to reinstall 6 sets of early warning radar systems, 4 sets of sonar systems, 3 sets of ranging systems, and then form a central command system. It turned out that a lot of things of the little devil were useless, and now falling into the sea saves time.

Bai Shujie was more happy that the two destroyers that almost sank turned out to be the Qiuyue just produced by the little devils, and it seemed that they were ready to be finalized through this actual combat test.

The Qiuyue-class destroyer has a total length of 134.26 meters, a maximum width of 11.58 meters, a draft of 4.15 meters, 6 steam turbines, a twin-shaft propulsion power of 52,000 horsepower, a speed of 33 knots, and a range of 9,000 nautical miles/18 knots. The design standard displacement is 2700 tons, the full load displacement is 4377 tons, and the weight of its armament is 334.3 tons.

Take the long-bow ship type, which is the standard modern warship model. Not only is it seaworthy, but it is also easy to arrange with plenty of space.

The disadvantage is that the stability is inferior to that of flat-deck ships, so Bai Shujie invited the shipbuilding predator Besa Schwartz to completely solve the balance and stability of the two Qiuyue destroyers.

The destroyers of this class have a single-chimney design, and since the three boilers use one chimney, the flue confluence, so the chimney base appears particularly large. This design was successful, greatly facilitating the setup of armament and equipment, and making the hull superstructure appear simple and lean.

Bai Shujie's positioning of the destroyer is to assist the cruiser in air defense. So the adjustment was to replace the steam turbine, which required a twin-shaft propulsion power of 72,000 horsepower and a speed increase to 39 knots, 7,500 nautical miles/25 knots, and 12,000 nautical miles/15 knots.

The most successful part of the Qiuyue-class destroyer is the installation of the latest Type 98 100mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun, with a projectile of 13 kg and a medicine pack of 27.15 kg, 65 times the caliber, muzzle velocity of 1,000 m/s, a maximum firing range of 14,000 meters, and a maximum firing height of 11,000 meters. The angle of elevation was from +90 to -10 degrees, the rate of fire was 18 rounds / min.

In order to control the total weight of the deck weapon system within 350 tons, Bai Shujie only retained one Type 98 100mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft gun, and then installed eight 40mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns and 12 30mm six-barreled phalanxes.

Bai Shujie remodeled the Qiuyue-class destroyers this time and invited the shipbuilding predator Besa Schwartz over, and another important consideration was that he should refer to the advantages and disadvantages of the Qiuyue-class and start building 12 "enlarged" Qiuyue-class cruisers.

It is 199m long, 18.7m wide, 6.9m draft, standard displacement of 12,000 tons, full load displacement of 14,600 tons, four-axle propulsion power of 160,000 horsepower, speed not less than 39 knots, range of not less than 8,000 nautical miles/25 knots, 14,000 nautical miles/18 knots. The weight of the armor laying is 7500 tons, and the total tonnage of deck weapons is more than 1400 tons.

It is estimated that 4 twin 380mm main guns, 4 twin 88mm high-level dual-purpose guns, and 12 quadruple DW40mm anti-aircraft guns will be installed; 24 DW30mm six-barreled Phalanx turrets, 2 5-pack 533mm torpedoes, 1 helicopter hangar, and a fixed number of 1,184 people.

In short, Bai Shujie captured all the original crew of shipbuilding predator Besa Schwartz, and the basic requirements were: "The speed of the destroyer, the firepower of the cruiser." ”

Bai Shujie's basic guiding ideology, shipbuilding predator Besa Schwartz is very clear: this arrogant commander-in-chief is simply preparing to cancel destroyers and develop cruisers as the last aircraft carrier fleet formation model.

Therefore, this shipbuilding predator thinks: This is to subvert the guiding ideology of naval warfare and a huge adventure!

This adventure is not only military, but also a huge one at the long-term strategic level.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
