Chapter 935: Northwest Response
The telegram sent by Liu Ye passed through the Taiwan Strait at the first time, a total of more than 300 kilometers, and was received by the Fuzhou Intelligence Bureau across the sea almost simultaneously at the speed of light by radio.
This is a special frequency band specially listed for Taiwan, and for this reason, the Fuzhou Intelligence Bureau has set aside four telegraph operators to monitor this frequency band 24 hours a day, waiting for Liu Ye's information.
In this era when radio has just started, for the time being it is only manipulated in the hands of enthusiasts, the radio frequency band is empty, and occasionally there will be some noise of current, but most of the time, it is a calm, waiting in the calm, it is the most boiling, fortunately, the efforts are not in vain, the results have been harvested, when the radio waves came, the two telegraph operators on duty, immediately did it, one carefully listened to the incidental record, and the other also looked intently at the message to prevent errors.
The two intelligence officers worked together, and after a little comparison and comparison, they finally wrote down all the messages, because of the level problem, they did not have a password here, but fortunately, according to the task, they really did not need to write it down, and the untouched messages would be sent to the northwest through the large wireless telegraph station with a total height of 500 meters on the Fuzhou side.
After receiving and confirming several times, there was no error, this was sent out through a large transmitter machine, the tall antenna and the powerful transmission tower, giving the radio waves strong kinetic energy, after the radio waves were strengthened, they took off again, crossed most of China, and finally passed into Baotou and fell to the army staff.
Northwest Army. It is the highest military committee, and Feng Yuxiang serves as the chairman of the military committee. The vice chairmen are Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, one is a famous military god. The other is a military educator who is full of peach and plums, these two came to the northwest late, but with their respective abilities, they successfully stood at the peak of the northwest, that is, Feng Yuxiang, with their qualifications, ability and relationship with Yang Yuanzhao, they overrode them.
The military council is the supreme body, but it generally does not care about things. They are in charge of the overall situation, which has a bearing on the overall military situation of the entire northwest, and what really directs operations on a day-to-day basis is the general staff headquarters in the northwest, and at present, Zhang Xiaohuai and Jiang Baili are concurrently the chief and deputy chiefs of staff of the general staff.
After the start of the European war, the focus of the northwest suddenly increased, Europe became one, and Asia was not idle, with China as the center. The stalls that are almost being fought on all sides and are now spreading out in the northwest are too big, and needless to say, Shandong, the places bordering Beiyang and the revolutionary party are also on guard. Taiwan is one, and Nanyang still has, and it has not yet been completely moved. However, there were necessary contacts, and the British and Dutch already knew about the millions of Chinese in Borneo. Hands-on yes.
Northwest Army Staff, for these four major projects. It is specially divided into four parts, Taiwan is newly established, and it is also the least personnel, but the level is not low at all, led by a chief of the operations department of the General Staff, at least more than 100 staff officers, divided into three squads, all-weather analysis of the situation in Taiwan, which is equivalent to Liu Ye's solid backing.
After Taiwan left the embrace of the motherland in 1895, for 19 years so far, the mainland's understanding of Taiwan is almost equal to zero, and if it were not for the map provided by Yang Yuanzhao, it would not have been possible to even get a topographic map of Taiwan, let alone command the operation in the back. What they got their hands on was nothing more than Taiwan information obtained from Fuzhou, through the Lin family and Lin Zumi, and other channels in the northwest, and there were maps, which they drew according to their own understanding, which was very non-standard.
Fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao has a map of the national highway and railway, which includes Taiwan, although the name is on it, and there is a gap with the present, but after comparing the other gains of the intelligence bureau, some things are still screened out, the map of Taiwan, which was finally enlarged and placed here for them, as the basis of the staff officer's operations and all plans.
Because of the relationship of radio silence, Liu Ye has not contacted them, the northwest does not have high requirements for Taiwan, occupy a stable foothold, and then gradually use the Lin family to form his own stable base, with Liu Ye's previous strength, plus the northwest point, it is not difficult to complete all this.
There is no way to contact, there is no further information, the bored Xia Yuwei took his staff officers to make some preliminary judgments according to the map, in their opinion, if everything goes well, the personnel will successfully climb the fog peak, and integrate the military and civilians of the fog peak, at least it will take a month or two, maybe the war will start after the year, and then a battalion of arms and more than 1,000 troops will be completed by the whole training, which is enough for Liu Ye and them to play a big vote, maybe, a solid base area, or even a port.
Before the war, no matter how optimistic the staff officers were, they didn't expect that Liu Ye gave them a surprise. It was only a long time before the war began, and it won a big result in the first battle.
The translated telegram was placed in front of Xia Yu, the head of the Operations Division, who was a Beiyang officer who first followed Feng Yuxiang to the Northwest and grew up in the Northwest from the early days of the Northwest Army.
"It seems that Liu Ye is very powerful, annihilating a wing of the Japanese army!" Xia Yu said approvingly, a wing of the Japanese army, in Xia Yu's opinion, combat effectiveness is just like that, as long as the soldiers are qualified, a battalion can basically kill a wing.
Liu Ye is different, he only has 300 people, even if there are 3 groups of special forces, but because it is related to the landing operation, there are not many things that were transported for the first time, and the munitions are only about ten tons.
In this case, being able to annihilate a wing is Liu Ye's level on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is even more lucky, only when the Japanese defense is extremely weak or when they are not aware of them, it is possible to succeed.
Next, look at the whole process of the operation, sure enough, the battle of Nantou was basically a reconnaissance battalion and special forces, attacking the unprepared Japanese army on the other side, unless it was like the northwest, which was specially arranged for the special forces, and in the event of this kind of blow, everyone was almost the same.
This battle can basically be put aside, the next is the battle of Wuzhuang, there are a few twists and turns, but the problem is not big, the other side is scattered, even if it is a squadron, they are divided into different squads, and there is no assembly at all, which is the best opportunity for the northwest.
said that it annihilated a wing, but what was really faced was only a brigade, or lost most of its combat strength, or the undefended Japanese army, these two battles were not much difficult, if any of them had the same army as Liu Ye, they had the possibility of victory, and the real difficulty was the battle of the special forces, and because the other party was not familiar with the methods of special operations, they missed the best opportunity to escape, and the special forces could not keep them.
36 people against 1,800 people, a huge disparity of 50:1, still achieved the results of annihilating the vast majority, which is already an unmistakable indication of the combat effectiveness of the special forces, in this sense, the special forces are really worth investing.
It can be said unceremoniously that if there were no special forces, Liu Ye's actions would not only be risky, but also suicidal, and once it failed, the entire foundation of Taiwan would also be destroyed.
Seeing the seizure of Nantou County, Xia Yu didn't say anything, these are normal things, a county close to the mountains and rich in various minerals, the seizure of more than 10 million is already normal, not to mention that there is also a branch of the Japanese Taisho Bank here, so all added together, only tens of millions, which is not a lot, it is a lot.
"Boss, Liu Yebu should be very dangerous."
"How so?" Xia Yu looked at his subordinates quietly and asked.
"Although Liu Ye's department annihilated almost 1 wing of Japanese troops, the regular army owned by Japan in Taiwan is a division, plus second-line troops, military police, and armed expatriates, together it is almost tens of thousands of people, Liu Ye's department is only 300 regular troops at best, at least between 2-3 months, those armed Wufeng Army, the strength is about the same as the military police, they can't give them too much help, in case the other party does all their best, then Liu Ye will definitely be dangerous." One of his men stood up and said.
With all his might, Xia Yu frowned, what his subordinates could see, of course Xia Yu, as the commander, also saw it, not to mention, this possibility really exists, the Japanese in Taiwan, there is no external threat, they have never suffered such a big loss, they have suffered such a big loss, in this case, what they can choose, I am afraid it is really a heavy pressure.
If Liu Ye gets carried away, there may really be a problem, from victory to defeat.
Continuing to watch, Xia Yu's expression relaxed, Liu Ye's mentality was very peaceful, after achieving such a hearty victory in the woodland, he actually chose to enter the mountainous area.
The mountainous area is not a panacea, but with the materials they carry, a large number of mines and special forces, entering the mountainous area means safety, and even under certain circumstances, with the help of the special geographical advantages of the mountainous area, it is possible to annihilate one or two divisions and regiments, at least it can drag them down.
Especially when he saw that Liu Ye also mobilized almost 60,000 people to enter the mountains with them, Xia Yu's heart was completely put down, and in this way, he was almost invincible.
The next thing is to see how long Liu Ye will stay in the mountains, by the way, how many subordinates he will train, and how many enemies he will finally annihilate in the mountains, this will not be completed overnight, it will take time, I am afraid that after the central mountain range has gained a foothold, a telegram will be sent quickly to report safety, and then, it will be stagnant for a long time.
