Chapter 912: Secrets on the Train
On this train departing from Shanghai, the terminal station is Fuzhou, of course, there are more than three intelligence officers from the Intelligence Bureau, they are only part of a large number of intelligence officers, after Yang Yuanzhao led the opening of the Taiwan strategy, Fujian's status has risen, in addition to being responsible for contacting the leaders of the Lin family's underground forces, after the level is upgraded, the Fujian Branch of the Intelligence Bureau and the Fuzhou Division will also have a status upgrade, from the original branch, to a direct intelligence direct jurisdiction, the number of personnel has increased by 3 times, even the materials and equipment have increased a lot.
On the train, in addition to the dozens of personnel of the Intelligence Bureau, there are other people, this is a train with a special task, this is the first condition fulfilled after the agreement with Lin Zumi, if you want to fight, weapons are necessary, there are weapons on this train, and the number is huge.
According to the agreement with Lin Zumi, the Northwest will provide a battalion of weapons, in Lin Zumi's opinion, it may be the same as the previous transaction, it was completed after a few times, but the Northwest gave it generously at one time, and according to the establishment is not the Beiyang Army, or a battalion of the Revolutionary Party, it is according to the standards of the Northwest, or a reinforced battalion of the first class.
In the Northwest Army, a battalion has an average of 1,000 soldiers, but the number of reinforcements has reached about 1,500, and a battalion including officers and soldiers is a total of 1,547 people.
The inside of the luggage cart itself is sealed, and this special luggage cart is even more so, and it is also specially camouflaged. The luggage cart was guarded by at least 60 heavily armed fighters, all of whom were scouts. The level of individual soldiers is much higher than that of ordinary field soldiers.
So be so careful, because that's in the luggage cart. It was loaded with enough ammunition to equip a battalion, including 1,380 Commission 1888 rifles, all new, all produced in the munitions factory, and were raised, 700 pistols, and 120 submachine guns, which were enough to assemble 1,500 basic weapons.
5 million rounds of ammunition, an average of 3,000 rounds per gun. It can definitely support a campaign for a short period of time, 30 heavy machine guns and 94 light machine guns, which are almost comparable to the general Beiyang Army's town or revolutionary party division, although with the support of the northwest, with cheap munitions, the Beiyang Army and the revolutionary party's army building thinking has not changed much, for machine guns, there are only some problems, the current number of machine guns in a town in Beiyang is only 36. Half more than before, the revolutionary party was even worse, barely reaching 24, let's just say these machine guns. It is enough for the revolutionary party and Beiyang to equip two or three towns or divisions, not to mention that the bullets given by the northwest are not round-headed bullets that are common to ordinary bullets. Rather, it is 1.7 million rounds of specially made pointed machine gun bullets, which is enough to take the power of the machine gun to a new level.
The most important thing is not this. In the Northwest Army, the mortar was the first weapon pioneered by Yang Yuanzhao. Because of the ease of carrying, the relationship between providing the front-line infantry support firepower has been greatly developed, and at present, even the company level is equipped with mortars, although it is only the most ordinary 50 or 60 caliber mortars, but it is enough for the same number, or even multiple of the number of Northwest Army, to produce absolute suppressive power against other troops.
As a reinforced battalion of arms, even if it is sold, the northwest is also not discounted, 60 mortars of large and small calibers, of which 50 are 30, which is the most of all, 60 of 18, and 12 of 80 caliber, for infantry support firepower, 120 is the most powerful, but 120 is generally used as a regimental support firepower, at the battalion level is a little excessive, and for Taiwan's operations, guerrilla warfare is the mainstay, 120 artillery is too heavy, inconvenient to carry and transfer, At the beginning, it was listed in the military directory, but it was crossed out by the military staff officer later.
Even so, the vitality of the reinforced battalion composed of 60 guns is strong enough, and in order to ensure the number, the shells are configured according to 30 bases, which is a full 36,000 shells, which can definitely be called a luxury in China, and even in the whole of East Asia. These were the entire armament of a standard battalion in the north-west, which, of course, in some places, was strengthened.
Of course, in addition to munitions, there are other military supplies, such as field meal kits, personal belongings, tents and quilts, sapper shovels, bayonets and other auxiliary items, Northwest supporting munitions, never alone just guns and bullets, in the study of the Northwest Military Academy, similar to sapper shovels, field meal kits, special military uniforms and camouflage uniforms and other non-combat weapons, in the combat to play a role, also began to play a bigger and bigger role, the excavation function and multi-purpose of the sapper shovel, field meal kits ready-to-eat, The concealment of special military uniforms and camouflage, which are all verified in the step-by-step exercises, belong to the enhancer of the army's strength.
A battalion of munitions, almost a dozen tons, plus a variety of non-combat materials, this number is more, almost filled a whole carriage, in order to protect these weapons, the soldiers in the baggage cart, all are fully armed, and even in the special luggage cart, there is a machine gun tower made of Zhuan, similar to the machine gun tower arranged on the battleship, with strong protection, can only accommodate 3 people machine gun tower, on land against a fixed target, is an insoluble existence, 60 soldiers and the necessary arrangement, There is no problem in protecting the safety of these munitions.
Now, the whole of China, except for Shandong, which is at war, is also stable in other places, and the opportunities created by the First World War have made production and export the only choice. In addition to the airtight baggage car hanging at the back of the train, there are also some military personnel on the entire train, more than 20 sections.
In the carriage, 200 soldiers were also distributed, carrying only the necessary weapons and ready to return to the baggage cart to get their equipment. This is already all the personnel of a reinforced company, according to Lin Zumi's requirements, the northwest provides a company of soldiers, but it is not an ordinary soldier, nor an elite field soldier, it is second only to the special forces reconnaissance company in the army.
Not to mention the transfer of a reconnaissance company, even if it is a company of special forces, for the northwest million army, is nothing, after several years of comprehensive training and selection, the number of regular special forces has been quite huge, the army staff is already considering, whether this special force is a separate army, or according to different establishments, distributed in the military region, now there is no conclusion on this point, but the use of separate centralized use has already gained the upper hand.
Soldiers, especially those who have undergone strict training and have been in the army all year round, their sitting posture and actions are still relatively obvious, and almost anyone with a discerning eye can easily see it, fortunately, this is a train that departs in the early morning, and there are not many people on board, even if someone can see it, but it is not about their own high mentality, and it will not affect the affairs of the northwest.
Ventured into the territory of the Revolutionary Party and transported to Fuzhou. The Northwest did this in order to hand over these arms to the Lin family, and since Shandong and the Japanese confronted, the Northwest has not relaxed its purpose, liberating Taiwan, saving the people of Taiwan from fire and water, and liberating Taiwan, and the Lin family is the most important help.
After Taiwan returned to Japan, it was not calm, the struggle on the island was surging, and the uprising in Luo Fuxing gradually subsided under the double oppression of the Japanese army and the revolutionary party, and the huge rebel army in the past was annihilated one by one, leaving only a few backbones such as Luo Fuxing, who fled into the mountains and forests.
The uprising led by the Lin family once again made the already boiling situation in Taiwan violently hot. Starting from Hsinchu in Taichung, Taichung even affected Kaohsiung, it can be said that the entire southern part of Taiwan has become a piece, and the Japanese garrison can be regarded as a quick response. The soldiers of the Lin family, in terms of strength, are still inferior to the regular Japanese army, and the strongest team, after coming into contact with the Japanese army, was immediately defeated.
The Lin family saw the opportunity quickly, found that something was wrong, and immediately scattered and fled, not like Luo Fuxing, chased by the Japanese army to fight, or with the Japanese army, they were familiar with the surrounding environment, they quickly integrated into the mountains, so that only lost less than 200 people, most of the personnel are still preserved, which is also a reason to change Lin Zumi's mind, the gun may not be able to solve all the problems, there must be people, professionally trained, people who can fight hard with the Japanese army, Only in this way can we achieve victory in the confrontation with Japan and liberate the whole of Taiwan.
On the train, in addition to an integrated reconnaissance company, in the entire carriage, there are some people who look little different from ordinary people, and these are also special forces selected under the unified arrangement of the General Staff, a total of 36 people, three groups of special forces.
They are different from ordinary soldiers, although they have also received strict training, but to a certain extent, they are stronger, and they have also undergone more rigorous training of latent and integration, special forces in many cases, the area of activity is behind enemy lines, if they still maintain the unique walking, sitting and lying posture of military personnel, to a certain extent, it is easy to be found, so there is a special subject in the training, about more than 3 months of training time, is to live as an ordinary person, Gradually change some of the characteristics of their own soldiers. Therefore, they sit on the train, just a sturdy ordinary person, not much different from others, but in fact, they are humanoid weapons with amazing lethality.
Now the people sitting next to them don't know that there is such a group of people sitting next to them, in the unique clanging sound of the train, rushing to the destination, at this time, has crossed the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, from Fujian, only a few hundred kilometers.
