851. Changes in the hostile situation
The ocean-going "submarine lifeboat" is progressing smoothly, because the project department directly refers to the overall layout of the "Shenyang 918 Battlecruiser", and the aspect ratio has been limited to about 6.5, and now it is just a matter of adjusting the parameters of the keel.
Bai Shujie's final approved plan, the hull and armor laying are the same as the original. The hull is still composed of 19 watertight compartments, that is, the entire cabin is divided into 19 zones.
Functions are then assigned according to these zones, and the watertight compartments 7, 8 and 9 at the center are the locations of the boilers and engine rooms. The reserved center of gravity shifts the counterweight, which is the conning tower, main turret and loader in the front section.
The only difference is that the future lifeship will be equipped with two fewer auxiliary turrets, freeing up space for six winches with a lifting capacity of more than 50 tons.
Because of this, near the side of the center of the submarine lifeboat, two sets of pulleys must be prepared for installation, so the hull should be reinforced here.
This is a completely new topic.
The original upper deck was mainly designed to resist compression, or vertical impact. And in order to resist the vertical strike force of aerial bombs, the main deck is an upward convex arc, and then a flat deck is laid.
Now it becomes tensile resistance. In this way, the diffusion vector force effect of stress is just the opposite, which has an impact on the balance of the hull and the layout of the entire deck.
Bai Shujie learned that it would take another month to get into the water and outfit, so he didn't continue to waste time here, and ordered Lu Ming to return to his headquarters with a few words.
Because Zhao Jinxi was already looking for him, the enemy situation in front of him had changed, and he needed to discuss a strategy to meet the enemy.
"Big brother, after repeated reconnaissance and confirmation by the First Division of Shi Liancheng, the enemy situation in Seoul in the south has undergone serious changes."
Zhao Jinxi took out a telegram and said: "Shi Liancheng said in the telegram that the twentieth division of the little devil has received additional troops and new equipment. At present, a tank brigade has been added, equipped with 36 new tanks. β
"However, our side is all high mountain areas, and only the left and right coastlines and the railway line in the middle can drive tanks, so the threat to us is not very great."
"The most important thing is that the little devil has formed a North Korean division, which is said to be called the North Korean Second Division. Major General Yutan, commander of the division, Takara Bisa, chief of staff, and Nakayama Ryosuke, chief instructor of the Japanese army. β
"It has two infantry wings, the fifth and sixth, and a mountain artillery wing, a baggage wing, a machine gun brigade, and a search brigade directly under the division and regiment headquarters, with a total strength of about 15,000 people."
"Also, Chen Jie from the north also sent a telegram, now that winter is coming, the little devils on the other side of the Yalu River seem to be adjusting their defenses. After reconnaissance on the Transition River, it was no longer an ordinary garrison stationed on the front line of Andong, but the First Infantry Wing of the 1st Division of the Little Devils. β
Bai Shujie pondered for a moment, and immediately instructed Zhao Jinxi: "Order Chen Jie to continue to reconnoiter the situation on the north bank of the Yalu River, if my estimate is correct, the change of the 1st Division of the Little Devil should be the 1st Field Artillery Wing and the Mountain Artillery Brigade of other infantry wings being transferred." β
"You should know that the little devils are confronting the Soviet Red Army at Nomenkan, and now is the time to increase the number of troops. The heavy equipment at the level of the little devil field division is okay against the Chinese army, but when it is used against the Soviet Red Army, it is too far behind! Therefore, the little devil wants to send artillery from other divisions and regiments to reinforce the front line. β
"Also, are the 240 searchlights equipped for Chen Jie's second division in place? Let them secretly install on the south bank of the Yalu River. As long as the enemy dares to cross the river at night and launch a surprise attack, turn on all the searchlights, and then bombard the river with heavy artillery, sinking all the little devils into the Yalu River! β
"If the little devil usually harasses me with guns and artillery, order Chen Jie to directly fire and bomb the entire county seat of Andong without asking for instructions. Fuck, Lao Tzu doesn't make any big moves now, do they think it's easy to bully? β
"Order the first division of Shi Liancheng in the south, once the second division of Korean nationality is discovered, there is no need to ask for instructions at all, and directly launch an attack, completely erasing the cannon fodder team that the little devil has just established!"
"If the 12th Division comes up directly, then order Liu Zhiliang's 3rd Division to attack, cross Jiangjin and take Jiuhuali and Panmunjom, and assist Shi Liancheng to occupy Kaesong. Advance our line of defense south to the north bank of the Imjin River and directly threaten Seoul! β
After thinking for a while, Bai Shujie said with a wry smile: "Sister, I still need a year to make preliminary preparations, you must keep an eye on the bastards below, don't make trouble and create unnecessary chaos for Lao Tzu!" I know too well the virtues of those bastards, and after holding them back for a year this year, I guess they have been jumping for a long time. β
Zhao Jinxi grinned: "Shi Liancheng, Chen Jie, Liu Zhiliang, and Wei Chong, these four guys, don't dare to be presumptuous in front of me and Gan Tong. They only dare to lose their temper behind their backs, and they definitely dare not take the initiative to stretch out their heads to find themselves uncomfortable. β
"Think about it, Shi Liancheng, Chen Jie, Liu Zhiliang, that is the first batch of little things we cultivated. Wei Chong is the little junior brother in the secret camp of the ancient tomb, don't look at his posture of being the best in the world, he doesn't dare to look up when he sees Gan Tong, the senior sister. β
"Just these four tiger generals, you can rest assured, they know your thoughts, so they restrain the troops very tightly. Now, Shi Liancheng's first division, Liu Zhiliang's third division, and Wei Chong's fourth division, their tunnels have all been connected. At present, the connection between Wei Chong's 4th Division and Chen Jie's 2nd Division is being carried out. β
"As long as the tunnel is fully connected with Chen Jie's second division, our arc-shaped defensive circle will be complete. By that time, all our heavy artillery was in the tunnel, and the defensive forces were divided into two parts: ground and underground, and the little devils usually saw only a quarter of the troops. β
"As long as the little devil dares to move, he will follow your method. Using the ground forces to resist and lure the enemy deeper, the main force attacked from the tunnel, cut off the enemy's rear road, and annihilated it all in one fell swoop! Then wave his army to the south, occupy the entire Korean Peninsula, and directly confront the little devils in the Tsushima Strait. β
"It's good if you know, it's good if you know!" Bai Shujie nodded: "However, to have the ability to confront the little devil in the Tsushima Strait, you must first have a navy, and secondly, you must have an air force." Our foundation is too weak, and it will take time to catch up now. If the bastards below can stalemate with the enemy, Lao Tzu will win! β
"You should not have forgotten that in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the Russian Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated in the Tsushima Strait. The preparation that Lao Tzu has to make now is to avoid repeating the same mistakes. If you don't move, you will have to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai, and the thunder will be so thunderous that the little devils will not dare to peep at the Korean Peninsula at all. β
"The distance between Busan and Fukuoka is only 185 kilometers. Although the current cannon is out of reach, the plane can come in twenty minutes. It is not difficult to defeat the Twentieth Division in front of you, the difficult thing is how to deal with the combined fleet of little devils. β
"Although we have several warships, and around the Shenyang 918 battle cruiser, we are able to form a formation that fights independently, but it takes a long time to train a qualified sailor. Now Zhang Bingyang and Ge Yougui's naval headquarters have been replenished with 7,500 soldiers, all of whom are landlubbers. β
"We're accumulating, and the little devil knows it. However, because the main strategic goal has not yet been achieved, the little devils are temporarily unable to allocate a large number of troops to the Korean Peninsula. β
"To talk about this, we have to thank the Eighth Route Army in North China. Our original layout in North China was not in vain, and their rapid development made it impossible for the troops of the 19th Division to be rebuilt, relieving us of the pressure in the north. β
"The officers and men of the Navy train more than 16 hours a day, and they are operating at full capacity. Everyone knows in their hearts that the enemy is running out of time for us. β
"The naval training school, which has just been established, now has two shifts, divided into day and night shifts, and the training is alternate. The most important thing is to train the technical arms of various positions on the battleship, which is very difficult. β
"The Air Force training school is even more intense, and training pilots is not an overnight thing. We are now able to come up with less than 400 pilots to fight independently. In the event of a large number of casualties, we have no reserves. β
"But we have no way out, we can only grit our teeth and go on. The little devils are not moving now, because they think that we are actually surrounded on all sides and cannot run at all. As long as the situation outside is stabilized, it is not too late to go back and clean up us. β
"If you don't put us to death, the little devil will not be reconciled. As far as we are concerned, is it okay to bow down and catch it? Of course not. Lao Tzu doesn't give the little devil a rising memory, and they don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has. β
After dealing with the principle of the ground forces against the enemy, Bai Shujie drove to Jiufengshan Airport. However, he did not enter the airport, but came to the top of a hill to the south.
It turned out that the 16 Type 96 carrier-based fighters that Bai Shujie got back from the Akagi aircraft carrier had no pilots at first, so they were enclosed in the cave hangar.
With the graduation of the second batch of cadet brigades, 324 pilots stood out, and Bai Shujie ordered 124 pilots to be transferred to form the first flight group of naval aviation.
After disassembling the auxiliary equipment and weapons in the engine room, two two-seat trainer planes were modified and prepared to be handed over to the cadet brigade for use, but later failed, and had to be restored to the appearance of the fΓΉ fighter.
Now, with pilots capable of flying solo, formal flight training has all begun.
No aircraft carriers, it doesn't matter!
Bai Shujie referred to the training methods of the people's naval aviation in later generations, and built three "aircraft carrier platforms" on this mountain beam. The flight deck is 238 meters long and 38.5 meters wide, 41.5 meters and 48 meters wide.
These three dimensions are the flight deck dimensions that Bai Shujie expects his aircraft carrier to do in the future. Now it is necessary to train that fighters will be able to take off from here when there is no catapult.
16 Type 96 carrier-based fighters are all-metal brackets, alloy skinned single-seat lower single-wing structure; The length of the aircraft is 7.55 meters, the wingspan is 11 meters, the height is 3.2 meters, the empty weight is 1216 kg, and the maximum take-off weight is 1822 kg.
A Nakajima Shou 41 air-cooled engine (710 hp), with a maximum speed of 440 km/h, a range of 1,200 km, a ceiling of 9,800 meters, and a climb from flat ground to an altitude of 3,000 meters takes 3 minutes and 35 seconds; Two 7.7mm caliber Type 97 machine guns in the nose.
Bai Shujie did not undergo major changes, but removed the two machine guns and replaced them with his specially designed DW20mm aircraft guns. The weight of the equipment has increased by 68 kg, which means that the fuel carried is reduced by 68 kg and the range is reduced by 40 km.
This change has no specific meaning for Bai Shujie.
Since it is taking off on an aircraft carrier, the range of 1100 kilometers and the combat radius of about 380 kilometers are almost the same. Anyway, this fighter will soon be eliminated, and the main thing is to train pilots.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
