Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

In the next two days, the cement plant and brick factory built earlier were put into operation.

It can start supplying a large amount of cement and masonry for the infrastructure of the northeast.

During these two days of check-in, I also got some good things.

For example, three fighter groups, a total of 120 Mustang fighters.

Three submarine groups, a total of 18 Type 21 submarines.

There is also a large asphalt factory, a large bicycle factory.

This is also Zhang Xueming's second sign-in to receive a reward for a naval ship.

And this time it was also very powerful, rewarding 18 Type 21 submarines at one time.

Together with the previous 6 Type 21 submarines, a total of 24 are equipped.

Although the Type 21 submarines are advanced, their number is still too small.

During this time, they never stopped attacking, sinking hundreds of Japanese ships of various kinds.

However, with the little devil's navy strengthened the escort force.

At the same time, various anti-submarine weapons were temporarily installed.

So now it is becoming more and more difficult to get it.

But with the entry into service of these 18 Type 21 submarines.

It is completely possible to hunt the merchant ships of the little devils on a large scale in the Yellow Sea.

As an island nation, the country is very dependent on external resources.

The implementation of unrestricted submarine warfare against Japanese warships in the Yellow Sea would have greatly weakened the national strength of the United States.

After arranging these 18 Type 21 submarines, Zhang Xueming took the opportunity to establish the Northeast Navy Submarine Command.

The future is on par with the campaign-class fleet.

At the same time, the 18 submarines behind were also organized into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th boat groups.

Two of the four submarine groups will be deployed to the northern waters of the Yellow Sea.

The main target of the hunt is the passage from the Yin Kingdom to Lushun.

The other two submarine groups were deployed in the northeastern waters of the East China Sea.

Transport ships from Southeast Asia, Taiwan Island and other places need to take this channel.

These 24 Type 21 submarines are enough for the little devils to burn.

Among them, the second submarine group has just arrived in the designated sea area and achieved great results.

Six submarines were separated by more than 10 nautical miles and carried out dragnet inspections of the channel.

If the radar detects the ship's signal, they dive urgently.

Float up when it's safe.

The advantage of this is that communication can be maintained at all times.

When they came to a certain sea area in the north-central part of the Yellow Sea, it was just.

A submarine's radar detected the signal of a large fleet.

The submarine then descended and simultaneously reconnoitred in the direction of the large fleet.

At periscope height, after seeing the fleet after the target, the captain said excitedly: "Come to live." "

The size of this fleet can be described as large.

There are 5 transport ships of the 10,000-ton class alone, and about a dozen transport ships of the 2000-7000 ton class.

And the size of the convoy was not large, only 4 destroyers and 2 light cruisers.

In the captain's opinion, this is completely the result of sending the door.

And this fleet is precisely the flotilla that departs from the homeland to transport combat materiel and food to Lushun.

During this period, the Northeast Air Force bombers continued to bomb Lushun.

At the same time, the 1st Motor Rifle Division was also steadily advancing in the direction of Lushun.

The front has been pushed down in the area of Pulandian.

After the Japanese First Division had learned from the past, it did not dare to take the initiative at all, and could only passively defend.

Of course, they also have no idea of taking the initiative at all.

Instead, they hoped that Zhang Xueming would attack Lushun, and it was better to do his best.

Because the terrain of Lushun is not suitable for the operation of armored forces.

And they had strong fortifications in Lushun.

Even if the Northeast Army had two large-caliber train guns, it was difficult to pose a threat to the Lushun fortress for a while.

So Lushun is actually the Verdun they prepared for the Northeast Army.

The famous Verdun meat grinder caused millions of casualties on both sides.

Therefore, they are not afraid that the Northeast Army will come, they are afraid that the Northeast Army will not come.

Therefore, heavy troops were not deployed in Lushun, but a division was arranged.

This is also fear, because too many troops have been deployed, and the Northeast Army will not come.

"Inform the other submarines to move closer to our boat and strangle this convoy together."

After receiving the information, the other five submarines immediately took action.

Start moving closer to this sea.

After about five hours, six submarines had gathered in this area.

And formed a siege of this fleet.

The submarine No. 1007 is also a brigade submarine.

"Target Japanese escort cruiser, torpedo tubes No. 1 and 3 fire T5 acoustic homing torpedoes, 3 seconds apart, launch!"

The torpedo tube hatch opens, with the injection of pressure.

A huge thrust sent two 533-mm T5 acoustic homing torpedoes into the sea.

In many submarine operations, it has been proved that the T5 acoustic homing torpedo is still the most efficient torpedo.

As for wake guidance or other guidance torpedoes, they are not so useful.

Two torpedoes sailed at a speed of more than 20 knots.

Electric torpedoes have a small trajectory and are easy to detect only at close range.

The first 533-mm torpedo hit the Japanese light cruiser amid the exclamations of the Japanese.

The first shots of this naval battle were also fired.

Five other submarines successively fired torpedoes at their respective targets.

The escort ships were lost by half, and the transports were also sunk by 4, including two 10,000-ton transports.

Suddenly the entire fleet was in chaos.

This includes escort ships.

It was also the first time they had been attacked by submarines of this magnitude.

In general, one or two submarines attack the fleet.

This is the main reason why the First Submarine Group is difficult to obtain.

Soon the second round of torpedoes came.

Three escort ships scurrying around became the primary target.

However, acoustic homing torpedoes are not very reliable, especially when the fleet is dense.

But this round still sank two escort destroyers and two transports.

Two torpedoes each of the third round struck again.

This time the only remaining cruiser did not survive.

More than half of Noda's fleet had sunk after three rounds of 36 T5 heavy torpedoes.

Without escort ships, 6 Type 21 submarines began to strike even more brazenly.

Half an hour later, the large fleet sank in the sea.

During this period, I prepared to run from all directions.

But as a transport ship, the maximum speed will not exceed 15 knots per hour.

And the underwater speed of the Type 21 submarine is 17 knots.

And with radar and sonar, how could they run away.

The news soon spread to the Yan military command.

King Fushimi Michihiro almost passed in front of his eyes. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

This fleet was loaded with not many materials, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 tons of grain alone.

And a huge number of shells, firearms, etc.

If only this was a loss.

The point is that the 6 escort ships were actually completely destroyed.

This time, the Northeast Army actually dispatched more than 4 mysterious submarines.

"Eight Quacks, gentlemen, the threat of submarines must be solved, but the maritime lifeline of the empire will never be peaceful."

This has touched the bottom line of the Navy and even the entire Yin Kingdom.

It also makes them feel a real threat.

"Assemble a combined fleet, blockade the Yellow Sea of China, and carry out large-scale anti-submarine missions in the waters of the Yellow Sea."

This time they were really angry.

It is very rare to assemble an entire combined fleet, such a large sea operation.

After all, this is also a heavy payment for the resource-strapped country.

If there was no way, they would not choose this method.

Zhang Xueming laughed at the good news sent back by the submarine force.

I didn't expect to get such rich results just two days after being sent.

Although it could not cut off the sea lanes of the Yan Kingdom, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

And today, Zhang Xueming finally waited for the Minister of Industry he had in mind.

It can be seen from Qian Zhaochang's tired appearance that he has not rested well these days.

"Mr. Qian, how about you go to rest first, and then come to me when you are rested?"

Qian Zhaochang decisively shook his head and said, "Young Shuai, I want to go to work right away."

These days I have conducted in-depth research on the economy, industry, population, agriculture, etc. of Mukden Province.

I believe that Mukden Province has unique geographical advantages and resources, and should focus on the development of heavy industry.

The Anshan area is rich in iron ore and coal.

I think we should introduce advanced equipment from the West and build a steel plant of more than 100,000 tons.

This is the preliminary outline of the heavy industry development plan of Mukden Province that I wrote these days, please take a look. "

Zhang Xueming looked at the anxious Qian Zhaochang with some ridicule.

It can be seen that the other party has indeed put in some effort.

Even have planning ideas for the future development of industry and agriculture in Liao Province.

But his images and materials about Liao Province are all before.

He should be taken to take a good look and understand it, so that he can have a deep understanding of the current industrial strength of Liao Province.

"I know, but I want to take Governor Qian to a place first, maybe you need to change your development plan."

Hearing this, Qian Zhaochang's face froze, and he silently glanced at Zhang Xueming.

Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "Governor Qian can rest assured, I am not denying this plan of yours.

In the future, if you come to preside over the work of Liao Province, you must first understand here. "

The place Zhang Xueming was referring to was naturally the Jinzhou Industrial Zone, located southwest of Jinzhou City.

This is where most of the factories he received from the system check-in were housed.

As the future Minister of Industry, if you want to lead the industrial development of the entire Northeast, you naturally need to have an in-depth understanding of this place.

Just like Feng Yong at the beginning.

When Zhang Xueming brought Qian Zhaochang to the Jinzhou Steel Base.

The shock in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"This..."

At this moment, Qian Zhaochang was shocked and a little speechless.

Steel mills of this size, he had only seen in the West.

As for China, the largest is the Hanyang Iron Works.

And this Hanyang Iron Works has a very difficult life.

At present, excluding the northeast, the total output of steel is only 20,000 tons, and the output of pig iron is 600,000 tons.

That's right, that's right, the current total steel production of the national government is only 20,000 tons.

Before the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, although steel production was 550,000 tons, more than 500,000 tons were in the case of the puppet Manchukuo.

After the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, steel production was even only a pitiful few hundred tons.

From here, you can see why Qian Zhaochang is so shocked.

"Less... Young marshal, how is the output of this steel plant? "

Qian Zhaochang asked in a somewhat excited tone.

His eyes were still fixed on the white smoking blast furnaces and converters.

Zhang Xueming stretched out his hand and took his arm.

"Iron production is 1.2 million tons, steel production is 1 million tons, steel production is 800,000 tons."

Suddenly, as he expected, his hand felt a sinking.

After Qian Zhaochang heard this data, his legs (De Zhao) unconsciously softened.

If it weren't for Zhang Xueming's support, I'm afraid he would have already fallen.

The main thing is that this data is too exciting.

"One million tons, one million tons, one million tons, that's a million tons."

Qian Zhaochang's eyes were a little lost in thought.

This number seemed to him to be a fantastic astronomical number.

Not to mention the Republic of China, even in the West, such steel plants with a production of millions of tons are very rare.

After reacting, he excitedly grabbed Zhang Xueming's arm.

"Young Shuai, you say it again, is this true? Is there really a million tons? "

Zhang Xueming smiled and said: "My Governor Qian, the Jinzhou Steel Base is like a fake package, I still say conservatively about this output, the annual output is definitely one million tons." "

Qian Zhaochang let go of his hand and laughed for a while.

Then he said, "I finally know why you had to let me come here to take a look."

It is indeed necessary to change, and it is completely overturned and rewritten. "

Zhang Xueming still appreciates his serious work state.

That's what he needs.

So he said: "Governor Qian, in addition to the governor of Liaoning Province, I also want you to take up the post of chief of the Northeast Ministry of Industry and plan the development of the entire Northeast industry from the overall situation."

In my opinion, this position is yours, but don't limit your eyes to Liaoning Province. "

At this moment, Qian Zhaochang had a feeling of tears in his eyes.

He really came to the right place this time and met the biggest Bole in his life.

He was very moved and said: "Please rest assured, young marshal, I have issued a military order here, and this steel factory is here."

I can guarantee that within five years, the total amount of light and heavy industries in the northeast will surely surpass that of Kannai. "。
