Chapter 1069: The Restoration of Taiwan
From the beginning, the Northwest did not look down on him, and almost placed him on the same position as the South. From the beginning, after using the Lin family's relationship to transport the first batch of arms and personnel to Taiwan, a stable channel was established.
The submarines in the northwest were obtained from Germany, but with the addition of the black technology in the northwest, the size of the submarines was expanding wildly. From the middle and late stages of World War I, it gradually moved towards the ocean-going submarines in World War II. The larger tonnage, faster speed, and longer range made the transport submarines practical.
This was originally something that could be used to replenish the capacity. As soon as the submarine force supplemented Taiwan's military strength, it developed rapidly. The northwest allocated about half of the ships to make transport submarines. This thing is good, whether it is troop transport or cargo transport, and it is also very safe when it encounters problems.
With the continuous increase in transportation capacity and continuous transportation, in just a few months, more than 8,000 regular soldiers have been added to Taiwan, including 2,000 lower-level non-commissioned officers and grassroots officers, and 1,500 technical troops.
This is the tradition of the Northwest, and it is also the most important part of a unit. These lower-level non-commissioned officers and technical arms. Since the Northwest Army was established, the Northwest has always attached great importance to this. After the establishment of the military academy, it has focused on cultivating lower-level officers. Until now, it has basically developed to each province with several non-commissioned training schools. As for technical arms, under the premise that all guns and ammunition are produced by themselves, the training costs are almost negligible.
At any time, practice makes perfect, it can be used. For technical troops, the Northwest is rich and powerful. Even the 155 artillery can make the training troops a base, and the huge Northwest Army has emerged with a large number of technical troops. These personnel, coupled with the personnel from the Taiwan base, eventually integrated an army of about 60,000. Compared with the regular divisions in the Northwest, there is still a certain gap between them and the second-line troops. In addition, the flexibility of technical equipment and tactics is far above the ordinary Japanese army. Therefore, Taiwan's troops have changed from strategic defense to strategic offensive.
Happiness Valley has completely changed its appearance a few months ago. A large number of tents occupy the entire valley, and a large number of soldiers are training on one side.
Liu Ye was born in the formal Northwest Army, and a large number of officers and non-commissioned officers were added to it. The continuous training took several months. The Wufeng Army had a trace of the Northwest Army, especially when all the personnel and equipment were in place, the Wufeng Army was immediately reborn.
Strength determines everything. When there were only a few hundred people on hand, even if they killed a Japanese corps, the Wufeng Army could only choose to transfer strategically and transfer most of the people by the way. Those who were unwilling to follow or elsewhere had no choice.
In fact, the surrounding Wu Peak was finally protected, but in the next three months, the Chinese in other places were very miserable by the Japanese and lost a large amount of troops, which made the Japanese very angry. The suppression of all aspects inevitably became enormous. A lot of things have happened everywhere these days.
Liu Ye knew very well that these things were inevitable. There were too few special forces and it was impossible to cover everything. Sometimes, when you watch your compatriots suffer, you can only use your energy to train. The sooner the Wufeng Army formed combat power and the stronger the strength, the faster it could help the compatriots. They just sulked there and could not solve any problems.
Seeing the Wufeng Army under his command, it took shape little by little. At this time, a large number of weapons and equipment from the mainland, as well as technical troops and lower-level non-commissioned officers, the Wufeng Army finally took shape. It almost integrated the forces of three divisions. Under the command of outstanding generals, it launched a strategic attack on the Japanese army in Taiwan.
The Japanese attached great importance to the situation in Taiwan and invested considerable forces. For example, the newly built divisions were not all placed in China. In order to ensure the security of the colonies, five were placed in North Korea and Taiwan respectively. This may be the largest number of Japanese regular troops stationed in Taiwan. Unfortunately, the main divisions were sent to Shandong, China. The remaining ones were not the main divisions, with only less than 20,000 personnel, 100,000 troops and combat effectiveness, which was not as good as the original Taiwan army.
Before they could completely settle down, they were attacked by a counterattack from the Wufeng Army and could not find the north. The two divisions of 40,000 were concentrated by the Wufeng Army and completely surrounded the Taichung area. After three days of fierce fighting, the Wufeng Army lost 1,700 people, wiped out 40,000 people, occupied Taichung, and the entire Taiwan was shocked.
The terrain of Taiwan is gentle in the west and towering in the east. The central mountain range originally divided Taiwan into two ends. Taichung is an important node connecting the southern and northern Taiwan. A large number of living forces were annihilated, which is nothing. However, once Taichung was occupied, it divided Taiwan into two halves in one fell swoop. The whole south was excited, and the resistance movement rose again under the promotion of the Wufeng Army and was no longer controlled by the Japanese.
The Wufeng Army also took advantage of the situation and sent a large number of liaison teams and working groups to comprehensively promote the resistance movement in southern Taiwan. A large number of guns, ammunition and even personnel support continued to enter the south. The Japanese army in the south was eliminated at the fastest speed, and the sky in the south changed.
The Japanese army could watch Taiwan fall into the hands of the revolutionary party in vain, without any way to deal with it. Japan also mobilized all the troops from Taiwan at present, pieced together almost 80,000 people to fight the Wufeng Army.
In this case, the Wufeng Army is willing to see. Taiwan’s mountainous and complex central mountains will gradually lead to the war into a protracted war. In 20 years, Japan has laid a foundation in Taiwan, which cannot be reversed in a short period of time. In this case, if it really hides and uses guerrilla methods to deal with the northwest, the northwest will be very uncomfortable, even if it is the originator of guerrilla.
Fortunately, the other party did not make such a choice, but chose to fight to the decisive battle. The decisive battle was almost the day before April. The two sides launched a decisive battle on the plains in the southern part of Taipei. The Wufeng Army had a total of 155 artillery pieces, which played a crucial role in this battle. The Japanese second-line troops were equipped with at most 108 and only 12. This was the result that only after the United States supported it and Japan obtained a large number of artillery more than 100 mm. If it were before, it was 75, which was far from the same level.
In itself, the caliber is more than 40 mm apart, plus the range and as an example, the deficit in this strategic battle, and unfortunately, it was not followed by the Japanese script. In just four hours, Japan lost three divisions, eventually lost a large number of personnel, and eventually lost more than 90% of its mobile forces. The remaining troops retreated to Taipei dyingly, which means that most parts of Taiwan are occupied by the Wufeng Army or the Chinese forces supporting the Wufeng Army. Japan's rule in Taiwan is essentially disintegrated.
The situation in Taiwan will become like this. As expected by the Japanese, after the joint team was annihilated, the Japanese had lost jurisdiction and control over Taiwan on their index fingers. In a sense, how much power the Chinese have invested in Taiwan directly determines the pace of Taiwan's return.
After losing the navy, Japan's control over Taiwan has greatly decreased. Without the joint fleet, it is already the limit to being able to use the previous effort to send 100,000 troops to Taiwan. Now, it is obvious that the Northwest is working hard in Taiwan. If it rashly goes in, it will form a protracted war like Shandong, and it may be even more affected.
No matter how bad it was, Japan did not expect it to be defeated so quickly. The generals of the Japanese Taiwanese Army did not realize that Taiwan is different from before. In two battles, all the manpower was lost. Now, Taiwan is irreversible.
The Japanese were also helpless and withdrew a large number of troops from China, of which 500,000 were needed to go to North Korea to consolidate Japan's rule in North Korea. Even in the Army Department, there is a saying that the Northeast cannot be defended, and whether to give up is the issue that needs to be considered.
Japan was also in a dilemma. If you fight, you can't beat it. The combat effectiveness and strength shown by the Northwest Army and Japan after two battles in Shandong were amazed by the Japanese. At least on land, the Japanese are not opponents. If you don't fight, no one will be willing to do so. Japan has been operating the three northeastern provinces for many years. In 1906, it was only in the Russo-Japanese War that I took fat from the hands of the Russians. Facing the strong Northwest, it is really impossible to save its strength. Instead of being driven out by others, it is better to preserve its strength. However, the entire north of North Korea can be defended step by step, enough to withstand the offensive of the Northwest.
This is the meaning of the northwest. The northeast is vast and sparsely populated. Whether it is products, resources, or even the foundation of heavy industry, it is not comparable to the original undeveloped northwest. In addition to the dense industrial belt of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the northwest attaches the most importance to and is one of the places with the most development in the future. As for North Korea, perhaps one or two years later, after the northwest stabilizes the entire China situation, and will take care of it when it automatically expands, it is still early now?
The war between China and Japan seemed to have come to an end after the Japanese retreated. Japan, which had suffered huge losses and had no morale at all, had to retreat quietly and lick its wounds, perhaps for one or two months, or two months. However, spring returned to the earth, due to the severe winter, there was not much large-scale battle situation on the European continent, and it was interrupted under the footsteps of spring. The smoke of war once again permeated the sky above the European continent, and the war rekindled. (To be continued.)
