Chapter 223
"Here you come!"
While making a sound reminder to Bai Zhizhan, Zhou Yongtao also pointed forward.
Under the night, the destroyer was not particularly conspicuous. It looked like a gray shadow and was easily overlooked.
A light signal has been issued, indicating that it is the destroyer to be picked up.
"Rise the flag."
After Bai Zhizhan's orders, Zhou Yongtao didn't say much, picked up the radio intercom that looked like an oversized brick and gave the order to the flag manager at the top of the bridge.
The official name of this thing is "wireless phone", which is one of the gains from visiting Puzhou this time.
It was originally proposed by the Army that it hoped to develop a radio communication device that was more convenient than a radio station, which would preferably be able to communicate voice so that the armored troops could easily connect with each other when they were advancing rapidly, thereby improving the combat efficiency of the troops.
If possible, it is best to use it to communicate with other troops, such as infantry detachments.
To do this, it must be done small enough to be best held in your hand.
As for the communication distance, there is not much requirement, ten thousand meters is enough. There is really difficulty, and five thousand meters is fine. Anyway, it is better than shouting out loud.
If it is farther away, for example, contacting the artillery in the rear, you can use the on-board radio station on the tank chariot.
After the development, the Navy took the lead.
The reason is also very simple. Without the bond of the telephone line, the commander no longer needs to stay in the bridge and stand next to the telephone.
It is very convenient to give orders with this thing.
Because it is a high-frequency radio device, the signal will attenuate quickly when transmitted, and the working distance is up to 20 kilometers, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.
The Navy has conducted a test and as long as the distance exceeds 100 kilometers, even the most sensitive radio monitoring stations cannot receive the signal. If the weather is not good, such as on a cloudy day, then the signal strength will decay to the point where it cannot be intercepted at about 50 kilometers away.
That is to say, it can still be used even when radio control is controlled.
As a result, the Navy ordered two hundred units first, half of which were captured by Bai Zhizhan, and the other half had not yet decided who to give to.
In addition, wireless phone manufacturers are also cooperating with aircraft manufacturers. Because of the expansion of production scale, the procurement price has been reduced a lot. However, it is not handheld, but airborne, which is the mass-produced model of voice radio stations tested on the "White Swan" patrol aircraft.
The latest batches of carrier-based aircraft are all equipped with airborne radio and voice communication stations.
However, the voice radio station with a working distance of long-wave radio has not been developed, so the reconnaissance aircraft can still report to the flagship by sending reports.
The greatest value of this voice radio station that is small enough to hold in your hand is to improve command efficiency.
Soon, the commander's flag was raised.
That is the general flag of Bai Zhizhan.
Looking up at the flag flying under the moonlight, Bai Zhizhan felt a strange feeling.
Liu Xiangzhen boarded the "Longjiang" and used the "Longjiang" as the flagship of the special mixed group. When he occupied the nest, he definitely did not expect that the "Hengjiang", which was once the flagship of the Second Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, would raise the flag of Bai Zhizhan and become the flagship of Bai Zhizhan.
In order to keep it confidential, the Navy Command did not inform the Special Mixed Group of the expedition of the "Hengjiang" to the expedition.
There are only three people in the Navy Command who know about this matter in total, and others still believe that the "Hengjiang" is still undergoing maintenance at Puzhou Port.
In fact, when I came to Puzhou, I didn’t even think about the battle of Bai Zhi, and would lead the Hengjiang River to fight.
At the beginning, it was proposed to come to Puzhou to be responsible for the maintenance of the "Hengjiang" just to avoid what is about to happen, or to avoid getting caught between the two factions.
Bai Zhizhan thought at that time, and when the storm passed, he found another opportunity to work in another position.
Given the situation at that time, Bai Zhizhan felt that he had to be cooler in the rear for several months.
After the army swept through the Ice Storm Peninsula, whether it is landing on the land of Saiyi or doing something else, it needs to take time to prepare. The Navy will take this opportunity to attack the Volcanic Islands, occupy Liuhuang Island, and then strategically blockade the Saiyi Empire. If you want to set up a forward base, it will also take several months. As long as Liu Xiangzhen and Lian Xusheng do not make big mistakes, there will be nothing to fight in vain.
Resident Fleet?
The information at that time showed that the warships that fled to the Tuk Fortress, especially those battleships, were all damaged in the battle of the Yanhai. Even if they were not severely damaged, it would definitely take a long time to repair it. After all, Tuk Fortress does not have supporting infrastructure.
In addition, Takano has been killed in battle.
After Takano, there were actually only two generals who were ranked in the Navy, Lieutenant General Lan Yun of the mobile fleet, and Lieutenant General Takado of the second main force.
Because the second main force team has been destroyed, even if Takaji follows the Fourth Cruiser Team to the Tuk Fortress, he will not be able to obtain command. Don’t forget that the remaining four fast battleships, that is, the third main force team, have been incorporated into the mobile fleet commanded by Lan Yun before the war.
Lan Yun must have inherited Takano's mantle.
In fact, even Gaosi has no effect.
Lanyun is similar to Takaji in many aspects, such as being cautious generals, who often act timidly when commanding wars.
If the situation goes well, there is not much problem. But whenever the commander decides before the battle, the problem will arise.
The battle in the Flame Sea and the battle west of the Watcher Strait, without exception, proves that the two lieutenant generals have poor decisive abilities in the battle.
The key is that you are not brave enough.
So, do they dare to take the only remaining warships of the Navy to challenge the Imperial Navy to the north?
That's why those warships were not taken into account.
At that time, even Bai Zhizhan believed that when the special group entered the east ocean, Lan Yun might lead the permanent fleet, but would not go north at full speed. When the Imperial Navy conquers the lowly Huangdao and blocks the route to the Saiyi land, he will take the fleet back to the Tuk Fortress.
After ending up, they either surrendered to Liang Xia's Navy or surrendered to Newland Federation.
In Bai Zhizhan's opinion, it is more likely to go to the Newland Federation in the end. After all, no matter how cowardly Lan Yun is, he will have to save face and will not surrender to his old enemy.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
The only thing that has not been calculated is the Army's advancement speed on the Icestorm Peninsula.
It was this difference that allowed Bai Zhizhan to board the Hengjiang River and lead this aircraft carrier, which had not been completely repaired and had hidden dangers all over his body, to the battlefield.
If I had known it earlier, then when I was rock-scissors, Bai Zhizhan would never be polite to Liu Xiangzhen.
But who can "know"?
"Commander White."
Zhou Yongtao once again reminded Bai Zhizhan.
The destroyer had appeared in front of the right side of the aircraft carrier and was turning in a small radius. The hull was tilted very strongly, as if showing his fitness skills to the aircraft carrier.
Can a destroyer with a capacity of more than 1,000 tons be compared with an aircraft carrier with a capacity of more than 30,000 tons?
The Hengjiang River can be demolished and 30 destroyers of that kind can be built!
"Thank you for your hard work at night, I'll come here to change the job tomorrow morning."
"Okay, go and rest."
