Kaohsiung Port is by far the second largest port in Taiwan, and the first largest port is Keelung Port, because Keelung is closer to the Japanese mainland and more convenient for transportation, and the lack of steel by the Japanese is not something that can be solved in a while, and the Japanese demand for steel is almost crazy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to spend huge energy and invest huge materials to build a railway linking the north and south for Taiwan, but Taiwan is indeed something that the Japanese cannot give up, and relying on land transportation alone has a great impact on manpower, material resources, or timeliness.

If you put it in a landlocked country, then the impact will be fatal, and if you look at the development of coastal cities and the development of inland cities, you can easily see that the impact of transportation on a region is fatal.

At the same time, the Japanese could only rely on Taiwan's own advantages to solve this problem, and although it was equally troublesome to build a port compared to the construction of a railway, it would save a lot in terms of resources.

In addition, Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, and there are many places that are natural harbors, which only need to be treated a little and then build a dock. As a result, the Japanese mainly built Keelung Port, and then rebuilt it on the basis of Kaohsiung Port built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Keelung Port at this time had a 10,000-ton dock and could even dock battleships. Kaohsiung Port also has a 10,000-ton dock, but in terms of scale, Kaohsiung has not been fully developed due to its geographical location, so it can only be relegated to second.

Once the Kaohsiung Port is lost, it will be a devastating blow to the Japanese, this problem is too serious, when a steady stream of troops and supplies are sent to the Kaohsiung Port, with the dense trucks of the Chinese Army, basically the entire western part of Taiwan, densely populated areas, they can send supplies to any place within three days, and they can also send troops to any place.

In this case, how can the Japanese fight? And what do you take to fight people?

So, at the moment when he knew that he could no longer prevent the Chinese Army from landing on Taiwan, there was despair and feeling unjust about his fate, but so what? After despair, we still have to face this matter. Underground subconsciously thought of the Kaohsiung Wharf, the largest wharf in southern Taiwan, on which a lot of various resources collected by the Japanese army in Taiwan were hoarded.

These resources were originally planned to be shipped back to the mainland directly after the local fleet sent the three divisions to support, because the other side had already set up a posture to attack, and the Japanese did not know if they would have the opportunity to transport the materials here in the future, so the dock was full of various materials at the moment.

There is no way, there are many small-scale docks nearby, but there are not many ships in those docks at all, and the transport ships do not dare to be too dispersed at this time, once they leave the protection of the fleet, who knows what will happen? Under this premise, Kaohsiung Port is particularly important.

The loss was not just the loss of a dock, but also the loss of a large number of materials that the Japanese had worked so hard to collect, as well as strategic failures.

Blowing up the dock seems to be the only option, and only by blowing up the dock and making this decision that is almost the same as the end of the battle can Japan be ensured that it will not be so passive in the next war.

But now the right side of the mine is once again encountering a more serious problem, that is, there is not enough explosives.

There are a lot of resources and materials hoarded on the wharf, so there will never be any ammunition depot here, and the nearest ammunition depot is in Kaohsiung County, where it is the lair of a Japanese brigade to ensure the safety of the ammunition depot. Similarly, it was the location of the ammunition depot of the 71st Wing.

The right side of the well had brought out the explosives from the ammunition depot before, but due to the limited manpower, everyone could not bring much explosives, and in a hurry, they did not have time to find a way to carry more explosives out. On the other hand, there are not many explosives in the ammunition depot, mainly ammunition and mortar shells.

Looking at the empty wharf, there were only some Japanese troops patrolling listlessly, in order to cope with the landing operation, the right side of the mine took away two squadrons of troops originally stationed here, and there are only one and a half squadrons on the wharf.

"Let's go and blow up that 10,000-ton dock first." The right side of the well pointed to the largest dock with some headaches.

"Hey!" The leader of the devil squadron behind him agreed, and immediately led the people to quickly run to the dock.

The wharf is not easy to bomb, far from as easy as imagined, and the current wharf is not the previous wharf, the previous wharf is wooden, and it is horizontally designed, the advantage of that wharf is that it greatly reduces the construction time and construction difficulty.

But the disadvantage is that the site utilization rate is not high, and the new design layout is compared with the old layout, where one ship is parked, it can accommodate two or four ships under the new layout.

But both have their own advantages, the old-fashioned pier is relatively easy to build, after detecting enough depth, it is made of wood, and then vertically pierced into the seabed, the water behind this wooden wall is drained, and then filled, compacted, in order to prevent soil loss, you can use a bag to throw some stones into it, or directly build a wall two or three meters wide next to the wooden row, so that the pier becomes.

The new wharf needs to use a large number of cement steel bars, and the 10,000-ton wharf does not use a trestle, but a solid cement pier, which cannot be completely destroyed by the main guns of the battleship.

Compared to this pier, the other berths are much easier, those are all trestle bridges, and only need to blow up the piers. Intellectually speaking, at this time, the underground right should choose to blow up all the other trestles first, so that only one 10,000-ton dock will be left here, and the impact will not be great, at best, it will only allow four ships to dock at the same time.

Similarly, if the 10,000-ton wharf is blown up with great effort, while the other trestles remain, then it is a small loss, because there are six six-meter-wide trestle bridges, which can accommodate 12 3,000-ton cargo ships to dock and unload at the same time.

'......Boom'

The sound of violent explosions came from the 10,000-ton wharf, and it was only a little more than a minute before the order was given to the right side of the mine, and the speed of the Japanese army was far beyond everyone's imagination.

And the sound of the explosion also reached the rear of the first battalion that closely followed the Japanese army, after hearing the explosion, the first battalion had to speed up the foot again, damn the Japanese have already begun to bomb the dock, if they are not happy, the dock will be gone, and then it will really be over.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you can't blow it up at all." The Japanese second lieutenant who had taken people to bomb the dock ran back again with a sad face and reported.

"Baga, how can you not blow it up?" Inoshito couldn't help but be a little irritable.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, we have placed two ten-kilogram explosive packets and a mortar shell, and after the explosion, only a small crater of less than ten centimeters appeared on the pier, and according to this process, these explosives and shells we carry will only blow up a tenth of the pier at most." The Japanese second lieutenant said with a confused expression.

The previous explosion was a test explosion organized by the Japanese second lieutenant, because there was not much ammunition, and it could not be wasted at will, so it was necessary to test the explosion to understand the hardness of the dock and the amount of explosives placed to ensure that the explosives in their hands could maximize their effects.

"A tenth? Tenth! "The right side of the well is spinning rapidly, it is not possible to blow up only one-tenth of the dock, so it will not have any effect at all, if it can only blow up one-tenth, then it is better not to blow it up, why bother with this?

As soon as I saw the 10,000-ton wharf, I couldn't help but want to scold my mother in my right heart, who built the wharf in the fuck? Why are you repairing so hard? Can't you cut corners? Yes?

"Captain Downhole, our crew sees an enemy coming towards the harbor, so we must get out of here, please allow us to leave the harbor." The captain of the Shimamaru cargo ship was depressed and found the well right.

His ship arrived in Kaohsiung a week ago, and after unloading a shipment of cargo in Kaohsiung, it was expected to leave the port of Kaohsiung two days ago, but at that time, Taiwan's defense was urgent, and all ships in the port were prohibited from leaving the port for fear of being sunk by the enemy fleet outside.

So the Shimamaru stayed, but in the past few days, the enemy fleet outside did not see it, but waited for the enemy's infantry, and the Shimamaru couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't wait any longer, because if they waited any longer, they might never be able to leave.

"Departure?" Jing Xia frowned tightly, and immediately clapped his hands violently, and said that he was cool in his heart: "Yes, why didn't I think of this trick?" ”

Inoshita subconsciously glanced at the Shimamaru, the body is not big, but it is not small, and it has a displacement of almost 5,000 tons when fully loaded, which is considered large among civilian cargo ships.

"Your ship has been requisitioned, and now, all but the people who can get the ship moving, the rest of the crew is disembarked." Inoshita Right ordered to the captain of the Shimamaru, yes, the fate of the Shimamaru was decided by one of Inoshita's thoughts.

Then he turned to the Japanese second lieutenant and ordered: "Tera Yijun, take people to the bottom of the ship to plant explosives, and open all the water compartments, and then drive the ship to the port to blow up and sink, blocking the channel." ”

Since you can't blow up the dock, then don't bomb it, Lao Tzu, let's go, the waterway is blocked, okay? And from the actual situation, it is better to block the channel than to blow up the wharf, the wharf is gone, they can still build a temporary one, the channel is blocked, then it can only be cleaned up little by little, and the Shimamaru full of goods, how can it be so easy to clean up? In less than half a year and three months, all large ships do not want to enter the port of Kaohsiung. (To be continued.) )
