Since China developed its navy in modern times, there has been a naval fleet that has been ignored by people, and that is the navy during the Republic of China. They neither have the large ships and artillery of the Qing government, nor the great development of the New China Navy. The Republic of China Navy has always been fighting for survival. However, they carried forward the past and ushered in the future. They not only ended the humiliation of the Sino-Japanese War during the Qing Dynasty, but also provided many veteran warships and experienced naval generals for the later New China Navy. The Navy of the Republic of China was composed of four departments: Central, Northeast, Guangdong, and Dianlei. Famous figures include veterans such as Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang who experienced the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898, as well as naval leaders with different personalities such as Chen Shaokuan, Chen Jiliang, Shen Honglie, Chen Ce, and Ouyang Ge, the backbone of the Republic of China Navy, as well as rising stars such as Lin Zun.

Therefore, during the anti-Japanese stage, the navy shared the same hatred of the enemy and was united in the fight against Japan. Almost the entire army was annihilated. Therefore, they can also be called the soul of the Chinese sea.

Details of War in the Cold Weapon Era (zhihu Weekly Plus Vol.015)

Wikipedia's "Prehistoric War" entry states that prehistoric humans fought "many times with sticks and stone axes. Later, in order to survive by hunting some large and fast-moving animals, humans invented bows, arrows, spears, slingshots and other weapons with a longer attack range. This brought a new revolution to prehistoric warfare." This passage describes a simple prehistoric war (mainly used to face large beasts), so only improvements in the invention and use of "weapons" can bring about huge changes in warfare. However, as human tribes continue to migrate and their ability to control territory continues to expand, sooner or later they will encounter another tribal group or even another country. The problems they need to face in war will become increasingly complex. Formations, tactics, logistics supplies, and the professionalism of the army will all have an impact on the outcome of the war. The reader does not need to know any historical knowledge in advance, and there are no long paragraphs of document citations. This is a book that allows you to easily understand the historical details of warfare in the cold weapon era. It also involves part of the knowledge of war formations in the early days of hot weapons: why did the nomadic peoples of northern China invade the Central Plains many times in ancient times? In a melee, how to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and prevent accidental injuries? Are stirrups necessary for mounted archery? When did mercenaries first appear?
