After the naval aviation transitioned, the naval combat forces began to carry out targeted military attack plans against the Chu navy.

As the mid-level combat staff officer of the Navy, Zhang Han proposed specific combat plans.

The middle and lower-level officers of the Navy come from the Naval Academy, and the senior officers come from experienced officers transferred from the Army. Although they are partially transferred from the Army, the combat tasks of the Navy are quite consistent.

Zhang Han first analyzed the favorable situation between the enemy and ourselves. From the current point of view, the two sides have entered a stalemate. The Qin Navy's advantages lie in land and air. After losing all surface ships on the surface, it no longer has new advantages.

Coastal defense artillery on land has played a major role. With the arrival of a large number of new artillery, as well as the laying of telephone lines and telegraph lines, the range of artillery has been significantly improved. The Qin Navy and Marine Corps built coastal defense forts on both sides of the Yangtze River, basically blocking the In that section of water, especially during the day, the actions of the Chu Navy were basically effectively contained, and the Chu Navy no longer freely entered and exited the Yangtze River waters.

But then, the Chu navy adopted a night sneak attack. They used small boats to carry soldiers with good water ability to land quietly at night, and then sneak attacked the Qin army's shore defense artillery. This special operation similar to that of frogmen played a certain combat effectiveness. .

They successfully attacked two Qin army coastal defense batteries, but the opponent also paid a heavy price. When they attacked a Marine Corps artillery position, they stepped on a mine, and then under the attack of carefully arranged machine gun fire, the three The fifteen-man sneak attack force was all killed. After that, the naval coastal defense artillery and the Marine Corps strengthened their vigilance and laid a large number of warning mines. The sneak attacks gradually became less frequent, but night landings occurred from time to time, and they began to sneak attack the Qin Navy Shipyard .

In order to contain it, the Qin Army had to use searchlights and flares with parachutes for key protection at night. With such specific protection measures, the Qin Army initially stabilized the situation.

However, this also taught the Qin Army a lesson, which was beneficial to the Qin Navy, which had no experience in water warfare.

Domestic attention to the situation in the South has not shifted since the report, especially in terms of futures trading. Raw materials have forced South Korea's investment activities to begin to slow down. A large amount of silk comes from the Chu State in the south, especially the import of non-ferrous metals such as copper. Under the pressure of domestic public opinion, the Navy must quickly resolve the current situation.

If the artillery moves the fort, it will require the intervention of surface troops. In this case, the war may expand. The navy has been clearly informed that it cannot expand surface warfare to land. Then the navy has only one card to play, and that is the newly formed naval aviation force. .

"The Navy taught us a lesson last time, and we will go back this time," Zhang Han told the staff.

The staff analyzed the current situation and found that the Chu Navy had an absolute advantage in surface ships. They had more than a thousand ships of various types, especially the Qin Navy Base, where there were 300 ships of various types within a hundred miles.

But the navy of Chu State had an absolute shortcoming, which was also the fatal flaw of all previous naval armies. That is, the materials for building ships were all made of wood. The last time the Qin army was burned down because they were made of wood, this directly led to The Qin Army directly upgraded the ship's materials.

The naval aviation will take advantage of its high speed to conduct a mobile sneak attack. The naval aviation has conducted continuous photo reconnaissance of the dock where the Chu navy is parked. The naval staff are drawing all the dock information and then making a specific combat map. Then make a new battle plan.

The combat radius of the twin-engine fighter jets equipped by the naval aviation can just cover this area. This is due to the improvement of Qin's gasoline technology. The use of leaded gasoline improves the combustion effect of gasoline and increases the power a lot. In addition, the number of engine cylinders has increased. Rapid improvement is also an important reason.

Twin-engine fighter jets have strong survivability. After losing one engine, they can barely rely on the other one to return to base.

The load capacity of fighter jets has also undergone a small-scale upgrade. The application of air-cooled machine guns has freed up a lot of space on the aircraft, and the aviation force can have more load capacity for adding fuel and ammunition.

In terms of ammunition, a new type of incendiary bullet has been developed. This type of bullet is equipped with some ignition materials on the warhead, thus achieving the effect of incendiary bombs. This type of ammunition is particularly effective against the use of wood. This type of ammunition was originally It was used on the Eastern Front to attack the food and grass gathering areas of the Qi Army. However, if the Navy wanted to attack the opponent's surface ships, it would be given priority. In addition, the aerial bombs were also replaced with the original ordinary models, using a large number of white phosphorus bombs.

In addition, a napalm bomb weighing only one stone will also be put into use. This kind of napalm does not use rubber and thermite, but uses orange water to freeze and form a solid state.

This kind of napalm bomb was discovered by accident, but the Qin State had a history of using napalm in large quantities in combat. This kind of napalm bomb is very powerful, especially when active metal sodium is added. Even if it enters the water, it will still burn and is extremely powerful. In order to end the war as soon as possible, the Qin State used all available weapons and equipment.

Judging from war experience, naval aviation needs a certain level of technical improvement to enter the historical stage, but now the conditions have changed a lot.

The opponents of naval aviation on the historical stage were large steel ships, but now their opponents have lowered their technical level a lot. Wooden hulls are easier to attack than steel hulls, especially fire attacks.

Although the amount of bombs carried by aviation forces is limited, they can carry more powerful incendiary bombs, which poses a huge threat to wooden hulls.

These two factors directly brought naval aviation to the stage of history, and the lack of surface ships of the Qin Navy directly pushed naval aviation to the stage of history.

The intervention of the naval aviation will temporarily make up for the lack of surface ships of the Qin army, and the naval aviation will temporarily serve as an effective means to proactively attack the Chu navy.

However, naval aviation still has not boarded surface ships, and strictly speaking, naval aviation is only a land-based aviation unit. Only after the aviation unit is carrier-based can it be considered officially independent. Otherwise, naval aviation will still be in an embarrassing situation. , but the navy has just begun, and war is an effective catalyst. Although it is land-based, sooner or later it will be on surface ships.

The Qin Navy is making a detailed combat plan integrating all factors. The dock has become a burial place to concentrate on destroying the opponent's surface forces.
