Chapter 123 Responses from various forces, ordered to cruise
Zhang Mingbiao commanded 70 troops to encircle the three provinces in southern Xinjiang, which naturally attracted the attention of Jiang Zhiqing and Xue Renming.
"Because Zhang Mingbiao ordered the 50th Brigade and the 108th Brigade to conduct military exercises in Jiming City, so that the imperial court did not dare to send troops."
Zhou Xinghui continued to report the military report to Han Xiyuan.
Jiang Zhiqing was originally waiting for Li Zongxu to send a telegram announcing that the three provinces in southern Xinjiang would submit to the imperial court.
However, it was Li Zongxu who received a telegram, saying that the American Eagle Empire was planning to split the Republic of China, and asked Han Xiyuan to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Under such a turnaround, Jiang Zhiqing was unable to get off the tiger. In addition, the military exercise in Jiming City was actually the 50th brigade and the 108th brigade firing guns at the sky.
Even the First Air Force Brigade dispatched thirteen widow fighter jets to hover over Jianning City.
Jiang Zhiqing immediately dispatched the air force to intercept.
However, the thirteen widow fighter jets, ignoring the air force's interception, swaggered and circled over Jianning City for eight full circles before reluctantly leaving.
Under such tactical intimidation, Jiang Zhiqing could only order the air force to temporarily stop intercepting and withdraw.
Compared with Jiang Zhiqing, Xue Renming received a stronger shock.
Because, over Xue Renming's territory, Liberator bombers from two entire air force brigades flew over. Xue Renming's current fighter jets in the air force, combined, are not as many as these Liberators.
Moreover, these Liberator bombers are equipped with bombs, and these are also claimed to be exercises by the Air Force.
Under such a military threat, Xue Renming also gave up the idea of sending troops.
As for the Fujian waters, the [-] Bismarck dreadnought battleships of the First Fleet are carrying out cruise missions mightily.
King Min has a fleet in his hands, but this fleet is only composed of a cruiser Yixian, two gunboats Xianning, a gunboat Zhongshan, and two escort ships Shanzi.
The gunboat Xianning, the cruiser Yixian, and the gunboat Zhongshan are the most advanced warships that can be manufactured by the Republic of China at present. As for the two escort ships of the Shanzi, they were just sold by the American Eagle Empire to the King of Fujian.
The cruiser Yixian is a light cruiser with a displacement of 1560 tons. It is equipped with a 150mm front main gun and a 140mm rear main gun, as well as four 76mm dual-purpose turrets.
The Xianning gunboat has a 1mm Japanese 120-year-style gun as its main gun, with a range of 3 kilometers. Equipped with a main gun of this caliber, it is the limit of this gunship. The main gun is a 15mm dual-purpose gun later on. There is also a 76mm gun, two French Hotchkiss 76mm cannons and multiple anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides.
中山号炮舰，排水量780吨,航速13.5节。装备105毫米舰炮1座、75毫米舰炮1座、47毫米舰炮4座。
山字号护航舰，标准排水量为1400吨。装备的是4门20mm高射炮，舰桥两侧的平台上加上了2门20mm高射炮，总共6门火炮。
These six warships are obviously not enough to look at in front of the eighteen Bismarck battleships.
However, King Min disapproved and sent these six warships, hoping to expel the eighteen Bismarck battleships.
"Captain, the warship on the opposite side sent us a semaphore, warning us that we have entered their territorial waters, and hoped that we would withdraw immediately."
A naval soldier on the Nanming ship reported to the captain Zhu Hongyu in front of him.
This time, Zhang Mingbiao is also very meaningful in dispatching [-] dreadnought battleships, because the names of these [-] Bismarck dreadnought battleships are all named after [-] cities in Fujian Province.
"Send them a semaphore. We are ordered to carry out patrol missions in the waters of our Dagan Republic of China. If they insist on blocking them, we can bombard them."
Zhu Hongyu smiled contemptuously. He has been instructed to bombard the battleship in front of him.
Fleet Commander Zhang Dahai believes that the deterrent of not firing is meaningless.
"Captain, the fleet on the opposite side sent us a semaphore, declaring that they are on a cruise mission and told us to retreat. Otherwise, they will start shelling us."
A soldier on the cruiser Yixian reported to the captain Yang Junjie in front of him. Yang Junjie watched the battle in front of him and did not fire for a long time.
"Boom~"
"Captain, the opposite warship fired at our flank."
When Yang Junjie was hesitating, a soldier hurried in.
The battleship Bismarck has a standard displacement of 35000 tons, a length of 250 meters, a width of 38 meters, and a draft of 10 meters. It has four double-mounted 381mm main guns, a turbine-electric device, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and a maximum endurance of 8000 nautical miles/19 knots.
This time, Zhu Hongyu only used a 381mm main gun and fired one shell.
"Order the warships to perform cruise missions."
Zhu Hongyu was very straightforward, ordering other warships to carry out cruise missions according to the predetermined plan.
After being deterred by this cannonball, the six warships under King Min no longer dared to stop him, and could only watch [-] Bismarck dreadnoughts bypass him.
"Damn it, I quit."
Yang Junjie slammed his fist on the table. He secretly felt that under such military pressure, they had no chance of winning at all.
