According to the order of the General Staff Headquarters, this time the support for Taiwan, the most important thing is a batch of weapons, Jiujiang is loaded with 10,000 rifles, 120 million rounds of ammunition, and about 500 mortars, on the artillery, there is some hesitation, and finally chose to transfer a part of the 108 guns from Wuhan, although there are only 12 guns, but on the small island of Taiwan, the 108 guns are big killers, and the northwest has integrated new science and technology, and the 108 developed is not only in terms of range and power, far more than the German Krupp, There is also a huge increase in the rate of fire, the semi-automatic loading device, the design of the tube retreat, so that the rate of fire of the 108 exceeds the 75 guns of other countries, and the power of this artillery is almost equivalent to the old Japanese 150 in the evaluation of artillery experts of the Northwest Military Academy.

Japan began to develop from the Meiji Restoration, following behind Britain and France, relying on luck, and gradually came to the current step, the First Sino-Japanese War defeated China, which is considered to be a rise, relying on China's huge amount of reparations, it is considered to have made Japan from an agricultural country to a semi-industrial country, but the next Russo-Japanese War, the victory is won, but the rogue Russia lost without compensation, almost did not let Japan's decades of hard work completely in vain, or there is no World War I, it is difficult to say that there is no Japan behind.

Therefore, in this era, Japan's various weapons and equipment, either imported or naval equipment, the shipbuilding industry is good, and the shipbuilding is still successful, and the Kongo-class is the most obvious example, but the Japanese-made is only the Kongo-class hull, and in terms of artillery and command system, it is still imported from Britain and can produce the main guns of battleships of more than 12 inches. At present, there are only the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States in the world. Now there is another China, and as for Japan, it can't even produce 10 inches.

Japan was a small country, even after the First World War, and with the help of the opportunity of the First World War, it went from a debtor country to a creditor country and made a lot of money. They could only choose one direction to develop, and the choice of later generations was the navy, but the army was put aside. Throughout World War II, Japan's army weapons have always been scum, perhaps in the battle for the islands. With Han's fighting style of not being afraid of death. The United States fought hard with the United States in the Pacific Ocean, and the United States fought on Iwo Jima in World War I was a little cowardly, but I really evaluated the Japanese army, even during World War II, it was the standard of World War I, the lack of heavy firepower, the lack of automatic weapons, and the only thing worth mentioning was white-knuckle warfare and ferocity.

Decades later. World War II, which made great progress, was still the same more than 20 years ago. When Japan had just embarked on the road to becoming a strong country, it was already good for a division to have some 108, and 150 artillery, and it was not a Guards division, it was impossible to have a strategic weapon of mass destruction like 150, so that the 108 howitzer, which is equivalent to the Japanese 150 artillery, was enough to suppress the firepower and cooperate with the special forces, so that the Taiwan army would lose all its advantages.

Not far from the Jiujiang wharf area, a large area that looks like a factory building, that is a large warehouse area, not only hoarding a large amount of munitions, but also hoarding a large number of valuable goods, where a division of the army is stationed, and today, a paper order came over, from the artillery regiment, a company of elite was transferred, and even in the selection, only military standards are required, and completeness is not required, almost more than 300 people are selected on the basis of the entire regiment, each of which is an elite gunner.

Artillery, at any time, even after a hundred years, is technical equipment, without some strength, do not want to play its full role at all, a recruit who has not even touched it, let alone get it, even if it is hit, it will be a problem, and the training of artillery is more difficult and difficult than ordinary infantry.

In addition to weapons and equipment, it is a variety of materials, although there are many civilians there and need a lot of food, but military compressed biscuits, luncheon meat and meal kits and the like, are the most suitable food, long shelf life, small size, small weight, more important than carrying food.

The loading capacity of 6000 tons, first of all, you need to remove the battalion of 1000 people, which is about 800 tons, equipment, weapons, logistics and weapons, and the remaining weapons and equipment, accounting for 1500 tons, this part is actually not enough tonnage, but artillery, especially 108, occupies too much area, there are them, unless it is to fill it with something, otherwise, one tonnage is regarded as two, 12 doors 108, it is almost 25 tons, and there are more than 200 tons of other sundries, some of which are for military use, Some of them were specially requested by Liu Ye, and they were all loaded with almost 6 ships, that is, half.

The rest of the part is loaded with military food as much as possible, fortunately it is 3,000 tons, which can be equivalent to 4 times the weight of grain when converted into grain, plus Liu Ye emptied Nantou and Wufeng, basically, it is enough, at least in the autumn of next year, the time of grain harvesting, there is no need to worry about the problem of food, as long as the food problem is solved, the situation in Taiwan is restricted, only the military problem remains.

Specially loaded and unloaded tools on the wharf, plus 12 submarine wharves loaded at the same time, although the submarine is fully enclosed, when used as a transport submarine, it should be convenient to load and unload, compared with ordinary attack submarines, the door is opened a little more, some are large, because it is used for transportation, so the depth of sneaking does not need to be too deep, thirty or forty meters is enough, and there is not much attention to performance.

Eighteen hours later, when the pilot and personnel of the submarine re-boarded the submarine, it was already afternoon, they would count the items, and by the way they would meet with the commander of the artillery, on the Jiujiang side of the ship, 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 shells were fed by the northwest with shells, and sending them to a dangerous place like Taiwan also shows the importance that the northwest attaches to this operation.

It took a day, the submarine finally left Jiujiang, 12 lined up in a neat array, taking advantage of the time when it was just dark and the visibility was not high, left, after all, in this era, the submarine that is faster underwater than on the surface has not yet appeared, with more and more Chinese submarines, the matter of passing submarines on the Yangtze River has also appeared from time to time, but this time, we still have to be careful, God knows, there are no Japanese spies along the coast, in case they are discovered by the Japanese, or guessed, the northwest will use submarines to give Taiwan the most direct support, It would be more troublesome to send a part of the sea forces over.

From Jiujiang to the mouth of the Yangtze River, a distance of more than 700 kilometers, which can only sail at night, and it takes two days, it will stop in Shanghai for one night, pick up the other two companies, almost 700 soldiers, and transport troops by boat, and then will not stop in Shanghai, and go directly to Taiwan

A battalion of troops, Jiujiang uploaded a company of strategic artillery, another company was transferred in Shanghai, the rest was in Qingdao, a team of more than 300 people, a sea ship was loaded, they only carried basic armament, the rest of the support firepower and heavy firepower, handed over to Jiujiang for preparation, there is one of the large bases in the south, except for the strategic support firepower of more than 120, everything else is on the ship.

Before the island, for the sake of secrecy, did not carry the Northwest's own weapons, the use of the commission 1888, although it is also quite good, but compared with AK11, the difference is not a little bit, with this, the continuity of firepower has increased a lot, although it is said that the consumption of bullets in each battle will be very large, but 10,000 guns, 120 million bullets, at least temporarily enough, transport submarines, because of the concealment, before the Japanese have not thoroughly discovered, can be transported many times.

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

On this way, there were no problems, the submarine traveled day and night, rested for a day in the temporary submarine dock in the middle of the Yangtze River, and spent two nights to arrive in Shanghai, and another day, after letting the soldiers board the ship, this was not into the waves of the sea, Xia Yu They have been paying attention to this matter, when they knew that all the personnel and materials were on board 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 in his heart, 700 of the same Northwest Army, even if the strength could not be as strong as theirs, was far more than the regular soldiers, with these, he would counterattack faster.

But then, a problem arises, the eastern part of Taiwan, and where they are now, is separated by almost a central mountain range, which is the largest mountain range in Taiwan, and close to the eastern seaside, there are not many, flat land, and their nearest Hualien is a little better, how do they greet it, fortunately, this is the submarine, according to the information sent back by the headquarters, they don't need to meet here, they will look for a suitable place to go ashore along the coast of Taiwan, and after establishing a relatively stable base, they will transport things ashore. Then we will contact them.

In this way, at least two or three weeks, Liu Ye could not rely on their strength, but because of their appearance, Liu Ye's battle plan needs to be changed a little bit, and in the next battle plan, the northwest was originally going to forcibly hurt the other party in the periphery, using the strong strength of the special forces and reconnaissance companies to find fighters in the periphery, encircling and annihilating a Japanese army chasing over, and after hurting the other party, the other party did not dare to go deep into the central mountain range, and now, it seems that it is necessary to change this and drag them down, Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, with the central mountain range and the core, a decisive battle with the Japanese, don't look at the whole Taiwan, the Japanese have tens of thousands of armed forces, but the regular army and second-line troops can be removed, and the remaining military and police will deal with ordinary people who have no weapons, and those who take up arms to resist can beat them.
