Chapter 938: Huge Support

According to the order of the General Staff Headquarters, the most important support for Taiwan this time was a batch of weapons. Jiujiang was loaded with 100,000 rifles, 120 million bullets, and about 500 mortars. He was hesitant about the artillery and finally chose to transfer some 108 guns from Wuhan. Although there were only 12, on the island of Taiwan, the 108 guns were a big killer. The northwest integrated new technology. The developed 108 not only far exceeded the German Krupp in terms of range and power, but also had a huge increase in the rate of fire. The semi-automatic loading device and the design of pipe retreat made the 108 fire rate exceed 75 guns in other countries. Combined with the power of this gun, it was almost equivalent to the old Japanese 150 in the evaluation of artillery experts in the Northwest Military Academy.

Japan began to develop from the Meiji Restoration. After following Britain and France, relying on luck, it gradually came to the present step. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 defeated China, which was considered a rise. Relying on China's huge amount of compensation, it turned Japan from an agricultural country to a semi-industrial country. But in the next Russo-Japanese War, it was a win, but the rogue Russia lost without compensation, which almost made Japan's decades of hard work completely in vain. Without the emergence of a war, it would be hard to say that there would be no Japan later.

Therefore, in this era, Japan's various weapons and equipment were either imported or naval equipment. The shipbuilding industry was good and the shipbuilding was successful. The King Kong class was the most obvious example. However, Japan made only the King Kong class hull, and it was imported from the UK in terms of artillery and command systems. The countries that can produce the main guns of the battleships of more than 12 inches are currently the only UK in the world. Germany and the United States have added another China, and as for Japan, it cannot even produce 10 inches.

Japan is a small country. Even after World War I, taking advantage of the opportunity of World War I, they have changed from a debtor country to a creditor country. After earning a lot of money, they can only choose one direction to develop. The choice of later generations was the navy, but the army put it aside. Combined with the entire World War II, Japan's army weapons were always a scumbag. Perhaps in the battle for islands, with Han's unafraid of death, they fought hard with the United States in the Pacific. The United States in the Battle of Iwo Jima were a little scared. However, the real evaluation of the Japanese army was also the standard for World War Iowa, even during World War II, and it was lack of firepower. The lack of automatic weapons, the only thing worth mentioning is hand-to-hand combat and fierceness.

Decades later, World War II, which has made great progress, was still like this. More than 20 years ago, when Japan had just embarked on the road to a strong country, it was already good to have some 108 divisions. The 150 artillery, not the Guards division, could not have a strategic killer such as 150. This is equivalent to the 108 howitzer of Japan's 150 artillery, which is enough to suppress firepower. Cooperating with the special forces will make the Taiwan army lose all its advantages.

Not far from the Jiujiang Wharf area, a large area that looks like a factory building. It is a large warehouse area. Not only did it stockpile a large amount of arms, but it also stockpile a large amount of valuable goods. An army of a division was stationed here. Today, a transfer order came over and a company of elite troops was drawn from the artillery regiment. In terms of selection, it only required military level, but did not require integrity. Almost 300 people were selected on the basis of the entire regiment, each of which was an elite gunner.

Artillery, at any time, even a hundred years later, is technical equipment. Without some strength, you can't even think of it. A new recruit who has never touched it, let alone miss it, even if you shoot it out, it will become a problem. The training of artillery is more difficult and more difficult than ordinary infantry.

In addition to weapons and equipment, there are all kinds of supplies. Although there are many civilians there and they need a lot of food, military compressed biscuits, lunch meat and meal bags are the most suitable food. They have a long shelf life, small size and small weight, which is more important than carrying food.

A load capacity of 6,000 tons is first necessary to remove 1,000 battalions, which is about 800 tons. The remaining weapons and equipment occupy 1,500 tons. This part is actually not enough tonnage, but artillery, especially 108, covers too much land. With them, unless they are filling in it, one tonnage is taken as two, 12 doors and 108, which is almost 25 tons, and there are more than 200 tons of other debris, some are for military purposes, and some are specially requested by Liu Ye. They are filled with almost 6 ships, which is half.

The remaining part is as much as possible to load military food. Fortunately, 3,000 tons, which can be converted into grain, can be about 4 times the weight of grain. In addition, Liu Ye has emptied Nantou and Wufeng, which is basically enough. At least next autumn, there is no need to worry about the grain problem. As long as the grain problem is solved and the situation in Taiwan is restricted, there is only military problem left.

Special loading and unloading tools on the dock, plus 12 submarines are loaded at the same time. Although the submarine is completely closed, when used as a transport submarine, it should be mainly used to facilitate loading and unloading. Compared with ordinary offensive submarines, the doors are open more and a little large. Because they are used for transportation, the depth of the stealth does not need to be too deep. Thirty or forty meters is enough, and there is not much attention to performance.

18 hours later, when the submarine pilots and personnel boarded the submarine again, it was already afternoon. They would count the items and meet the artillery commander. The one who boarded the ship on Jiujiang was a company of strategic artillery units. These gunners who had been in the army for at least three years and fired more than 5,000 artillery shells were fed by the Northwest with shells and sent them to dangerous places like Taiwan, which also showed the Northwest's attention to this operation.

After spending a day, the submarines finally left Jiujiang. The 12 ships were arranged in neat arrays and left when it was just dark and the visibility was not high. After all, in this era, submarines that were faster underwater than on the water have not appeared. With more and more Chinese submarines, the passing of submarines on the Yangtze River also occurred from time to time. But this time, you should be careful. God knows whether there are Japanese spies along the coast. If they are discovered by the Japanese, or guessed that the Northwest would use submarines to provide Taiwan with the most direct support, and send some maritime forces there, it would be more troublesome.

It takes about 700 kilometers from Jiujiang to the estuary of the Yangtze River. It can only sail at night. It takes two days. It will stop in Shanghai for one night and connect the other two companies, almost 700 soldiers, and the boat transport troops will not stop in Shanghai. They will go directly to Taiwan.

A battalion troops, Jiujiang uploaded a company's strategic artillery, the other company was drawn in Shanghai, and the rest was in Qingdao, with more than 300 people, and a sea ship was loaded. They only carried basic armed forces, and the remaining supporting firepower and heavy firepower were handed over to Jiujiang for preparation. It is one of the large bases in the south. Except for the fact that there is no strategic support firepower of more than 120, others are available on the ship.

The ones who went to the island before, considering the confidentiality, did not carry the Northwest's own weapons, and used the Committee 1888. Although it was quite good, compared with AK11, the difference was not a little bit worse. With this, the continuity of firepower increased a lot. Although the bullet consumption per battle would be very large, 10,000 guns and 120 million bullets were at least temporarily enough. Transporting submarines, due to the concealment, could be transported many times before the Japanese completely discovered it.

The number of people is at a disadvantage for a considerable period of time. In the absence of logistical pressure, increasing the projection density per unit area has become a natural choice.

There was no problem along the way. The submarine sank during the day and traveled at night. She rested in the temporary submarine dock in the middle of the Yangtze River for one day. She spent two nights to arrive in Shanghai. Another day. After letting the soldiers board the ship, they were submerged in the waves of the sea. Xia Yu and the others were always paying attention to this matter. When they knew that all the personnel and supplies boarded the ship and left Shanghai, they sent the information to Liu Ye.

The telegram first passed through half of China and came to Taiwan, which made Liu Ye happy. Even if the 700 Northwest Army were not as powerful as theirs, they were far more powerful than regular soldiers. With these, he would counterattack faster.

But then, a problem arose. The eastern part of Taiwan is almost a central mountain range from where they are now. It is the largest mountain range in Taiwan, and it is close to the seaside in the east. There are not many flat grounds, and it is better to them, which makes them welcome it. Fortunately, this is a submarine. According to the information sent by the headquarters, they do not need to greet it here. They will find a suitable place to go ashore along Taiwan, build a relatively stable stronghold, transport the east and west to ashore, and then contact them.

In this case, at least two or three weeks, Liu Ye would not be able to use their power, but because of their appearance, Liu Ye’s combat plan was planned to make a little change. In the next combat plan, the Northwest was originally planning to forcibly hurt the opponent on the periphery, using the powerful power of the special forces and the reconnaissance company to find fighter jets on the periphery, encircle and annihilate a chased Japanese army. After hurting the opponent, the opponent did not dare to go deep into the Central Mountains. Now, it seems that it needs to change this, drag them down, wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and fight with the Japanese with the Central Mountains and the core. Although the entire Taiwan, the Japanese have tens of thousands of armed forces, but except for the regular army and the second-line troops, the remaining military and police will deal with ordinary people without weapons. Those who have picked up weapons can beat them up. (To be continued)
