Chapter 923: Cleaning Up the Results

The battle of Nantou ended like this, this is only the beginning of the victory of the war, the next work is more, the work of the prisoners alone consumes a lot of time, and also screens, clean up the property, then Taiwan will be more difficult, the northwest will fully support, the focus is on personnel and weapons and equipment, the rest need to be raised locally, it is easy to take a county seat, or a complete county, stationed a brigade of county seats, the receipt is absolutely huge.

Nantou County is not as rich as Taipei, Kaohsiung, Keelung, but it is also close to Yushan, the mineral deposits and some raw materials on the mountain, especially the muddy water stream in Nantou County, is a place to bury treasures, bloodstone, sapphire, foolish stone, black gallstone, tortoiseshell stone, etc., Japan plundered raw materials and grain in Taiwan, these gems are also among them, most of them were occupied by the Japanese at the same time, a small number of them are enough to have a large number of rich people, these people are in Nantou.

In a short period of time, it is impossible to sort out all the harvest, and now only a part of the harvest has been captured, this kind of work has been busy for most of the night, and after dawn, it is considered a higher paragraph, Liu Ye finally has the opportunity to do the most important thing now, inspect and clean up the arsenal.

Relative to property, weapons and equipment, is the top priority, this is related to the Northwest Army's continuous combat capability here, for the time being, bringing weapons from the mainland is just a foundation, at most to support 2-3 high-intensity battles, before the support in the northwest is not in place, what Liu Ye has to do, on the one hand, save ammunition as much as possible, on the other hand, need to capture, to fight to support the war, this is the only way for the weak.

The Japanese still used 30 rifles in this era, and only a small number of elites were reequipped with the 38 type. This is not the 38 big cover during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, it is an improved type in the later period. The reconnaissance company is not only familiar with the Northwest's own weapons. Japanese equipment is also very familiar, even before coming. With this preparation, it may be that in a considerable period of time, they need to use Japanese-made weapons and do adaptive training in advance.

When the special combat team captured the arsenal, they had already done a simple cleanup, and the Japanese wing, so to speak, left almost all the artillery here in order to suppress the bandits, which was a very good capture. There were also quite a few rifles and other miscellaneous supplies.

When the materials were counted, Lin Long came to Nantou County with a large number of laborers, and they set off at 2 o'clock in the morning, that is, when the battle of Nantou was almost completed. The news of the defeat here will not be leaked, Lin Long sent at least 5,000 laborers, plus the prisoners captured in the county seat, and various tools. It should be possible to get things back in a short period of time.

When Lin Long arrived, he was quite surprised, and the person who reported the news hurried back overnight. When he told them that the county seat of Nantou had been defeated, he thought it was fake. Because all the military personnel were taken away, the radio was unused. He could not inform the rear at the first time, and it was not until the second person who came to report that he believed that he would send out all the men who had already been prepared.

5,000 people, this is the largest number of people who have searched all over the country, in the scope of the influence of the Lin family, thanks to Lin Long's organizational ability, plus a large number of wishes, the price of 3 yuan at a time, although it is a yen, but Taiwan's current mainstream currency is the yen, one yen is equivalent to a piece of the ocean, so making a wish, is the expenditure of 15,000 oceans. This money, compared with the things shipped back from Nantou, can not be compared, think about the wealth after the next county, Lin Long knows how much, but the only thing to consider is how long it will take, in case I find out, it is impossible for them to transport all the things.

Lin Long handed over the labor to Lin Hu, and then together with some civilian personnel, he devoted himself to the inventory work, even if it was a temporary scraping of the land, land, houses and other biggest things could not be taken away, but there was a lot of floating wealth, the Japanese because of the relationship between Nantou minerals, and even set up a branch of Zhengjin Bank in Nantou, just the harvest in the bank, it blinded Lin Long's eyes, 102 kilograms of gold, 2.7 tons of silver, as well as almost 10 million yen in cash, and a small number of foreign currencies, such as US dollars, pounds, German marks, francs, etc., are not very many, but there are tens of thousands, plus other harvests, just in gold, silver, precious metals and cash, cash has reached about 50 million yen.

According to the price at which Japan sold Taiwan before, it is equivalent to half of Taiwan's return, you can't think like this, this part is very valuable, but it can't be spent directly, at least on the island of Taiwan, it is impossible to spend it directly, the militarized management of the Japanese is not a joke, let alone the Chinese, even if it is the Japanese, it is impossible to freely take cash and buy materials on a large scale, if you want to spend it, I am afraid that it will have to be shipped back to China, or other countries, where the Japanese-funded banks are exchanged for other currencies.

This is equivalent to an extra layer of hands, although there is a lot of cash gains, it is not particularly important for Liu Ye, he values other aspects more, in the arsenal, there are not many guns, there are 1000, most of them are spare guns and replaced old guns or bad, clean it up, it can be used. There are a lot of bullets, 12 million rounds of bullets, all of which are Japanese-style bullets, but fortunately, when attacking the police station, as well as when the sneak attack brigade, almost 2,500 were seized, which together are enough to arm more than 3,000 people, and the materials can be said to be very abundant.

There are not many heavy machine guns, 24, including the arsenal and the county's inventory, but there are a lot of artillery, almost 70 large and small artillery, the most important is 30 artillery pieces of the infantry wing, that is the standard configuration, and there are some old guns, accumulated in decades of history, there are breech guns, the central part of Taiwan, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, they almost do not carry any heavy firepower, most of them are left in this arms warehouse, and they are cheap for the Wufeng Army.

These can enhance the strength and sustained combat capability of the Wufeng Army in Taiwan, and are the biggest harvest in Nantou County, but in addition to weapons, the harvest is all kinds of grain and military supplies, and the materials are about 60 tons, including military uniforms and military items, as well as a large amount of grain and meat. In the county seat of Nantou, a large amount of grain was also seized from wealthy families, Japanese companies and expatriates, backed by the Yushan Mountains, rich in products, not only a large number of raw materials, but also a lot of various kinds of grain and meat.

The county has been attacked, how much is harvested, these harvests are finally confirmed, and it depends on the next thing to transport back, dozens of tons of materials in the arsenal, plus supplies and seizures from the county, a total of 500 tons, this is not a small number, if in the northwest, a large truck with a load of 10 tons, come 50 cars, or if there is a railway, a wagon of 60 tons, but a wagon. Tens of kilometers away, the car does not take 2 hours, the train is simply an hour, you can empty the things in it, but in Taiwan, everything needs manpower, the only thing that can help is those wheelbarrows and two-wheeled carriages, there are 30 wheelbarrows, most of them are transported from the mainland, there are a little more carriages, there are about 40 carriages, some of them are obtained from the arsenal, and the other part is from the big families in the county.

The carpentry of the entire Nantou County, plus some of the Wufeng carpenters, the emergency modification of the carriage, the Japanese army is the horse wing, near the arsenal, there is also a horse farm, the mountain is not suitable for riding horses and carriages, there are about 220 horses here, in addition to 80 for 40 carriages, the rest, is enough to equip 70.

Compared with manpower, the load capacity of 800 kilograms of carriage will make transportation a little faster, even Lin Long knows that Nantou County cannot be occupied forever, surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops, no more than 50 kilometers away, at least more than 2,000 regular army, as well as almost 4,000 armed personnel and a large number of Japanese expatriates, when these people fight back, no matter how much supplies are empty.

Lin Long's coordination ability is good, about 9 o'clock in the morning, the first batch of things on the road, including 40 carriages, 30 wheelbarrows, and almost 5,000 manpower, carriages and wheelbarrows, almost loaded with 50 tons of materials, manpower is also almost 100 tons, a person 20 kilograms of weight, for the prime of life, is nothing.

Because it was the first batch, precious metals and cash were all transported back in the first batch, with a high value, even if it was Liu Ye's, he didn't dare to slack off, and specially transferred half a platoon of soldiers, plus 150 escorts from the Wufeng Army, and also gave some weapons and equipment to the strong men, among these people, some of them participated in the Central Uprising, although they were brushed down in the training of the Northwest Army, no matter what, they also participated in the battle, and there were many of them, and the maximum number of people in the Central Uprising reached more than 3,500 people, and most of them were brushed down, But with weapons, you can still be strong, almost 700 people, plus nearly 200 regular soldiers, even if you run into a squadron of regular troops in Japan, it is enough to confront it head-on, not to mention that this road is relatively safe.

The two Japanese brigades, both walking in the northeast and southeast directions, and the location of the fog peak, to the northwest of Nantou, where there are not many mountains, and it is impossible to search.

This batch was brought back with almost a third of what was missing, and then, after the completion of 20 wagons and more wagons, at most two, the transport could be completed, but in this case, it would take at least a day's time, and the carriages would have reduced the distance between them, but a round trip would take at least three hours, or even more. We have to guard against it, at present, the closest to Nantou are the Japanese troops in the other two directions. (To be continued......)
