Chapter 2791 Cannon Defense Island(2/2)
"Oh, I'm afraid others will see it... Okay. I'll leave first!" Xiaoxuan now has something to do with Liu Yihua. She feels a little guilty.
Liu Yihua smiled. She slept in today and didn’t go to the swimming pool. I wonder if Hong Xuanjiao had gone to the swimming pool. If she broke the appointment, she would make up for it later!
Today, Liu Yihua mainly deployed the defense of the Zhoushan Islands.
Since the Zhoushan Islands mainly defended against the attacks of the island's Japanese, Liu Yihua arranged a large number of advanced weapons. This time, the Yanhua system Xueer was particularly generous. Liu Yihua thought that Xueer also hated the island's people.
This time, Liu Yihua mainly increased the intensity of artillery and arranged more than 300 gate-shore defense artillery throughout the Zhoushan Islands. At the same time, there are many various artillery. The main ones are:
Huaxia Type 54 122mm towed howitzer.
This howitzer is a 122mm towing artillery developed and formulated in the early 1950s. It was equipped with troops in the mid-to-late 1950s to replace various old miscellaneous howitzer/mountain cannons. This cannon was improved by the Soviet-style m-1938 type and is a basic artillery of the infantry division and military artillery regiment.
This gun uses a manual screw bolt. The machine is built and retreated, and the machine is arranged on the body and lower part of the gun. The sighting device is composed of a 58-type scope and a 58-type peripheral vision scope.
The gun is equipped with an anti-destructive blasting grenade, incendiary bomb, smoke bomb, and flare. The initial velocity of the shell: 515 meters/sec, and the maximum range: 11,800 meters. This kind of gun is relatively light, and although the caliber of 122 mm is not particularly large, it is enough in this era.
Type 54 152mm howitzer.
This artillery is a 152mm towing artillery developed and formulated in 1955. It is a 152mm howitzer of the former Soviet Union D-1 type. It is a division-level support artillery from the late World War II to the mid-1970s. It was used as an important support artillery of the Chinese Army before the 1980s.
The initial speed of this cannon is 508 meters / yes, the maximum range is 12,400 meters. The bullet weight is 39.9 kg, and it is very powerful!
Type 66 152mm Canon howitzer.
This Canon howitzer was imitated based on the former Soviet Union's D-20 152mm Canon howitzer. It was produced and established in 1966 and was equipped with a large number of troops. It was the main force of the Chinese army.
The cannon uses a cartridge-packed shell, equipped with an anti-destructive blasting grenade and a cigarette cartridge. The initial speed: 655 meters/sec, and the maximum range: 17,230 meters. Canon howitzers are used more often, and this kind of cannon can fire directly or at an angle.
Of course, it is not so easy to train these artillery soldiers, so Liu Yihua can only determine the number of artillery based on the number of artillery soldiers.
The next step is to occupy Tsushima Island.
Seeing that his generals did not have a proper understanding of the importance of occupying the islands, Liu Yihua talked to his subordinates about the importance of each island and the importance of the sea.
Following this opportunity, Liu Yihua dared to say the two islands to be occupied next: Taiwan and Hainan Island.
Taiwan is located on the southeast coast of China, facing the East China Sea to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the South China Sea to the south, and across the Taiwan Strait to the west, facing the mainland of China. Taiwan includes 21 affiliated islands, including Taiwan Island, Lanyu Island, Green Island, Diaoyu Island, and 64 islands in the Penghu Islands.
The total area of Taibang is about 36,000 square kilometers. It is the largest island in China and a sea barrier and important gateway in Southeast China.
Taiwan was called Yizhou and Liuqiu. Penghu belonged to Fujian Road in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was called Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty. It was occupied by the Netherlands and Spanish colonists in the late Ming Dynasty. In 1661, the national hero Zheng Chenggong recovered and developed it.
Taiwanfu was established in 1684 in the Qing Dynasty, which belonged to Fujian Province. It was officially established in 1885. It was stolen by the island country in 1895.
In 1684, the Qing Dynasty set up a sub-schedule of Taisha Bing Path and Taiwan Prefecture, which belonged to Fujian Province. In 1811, the population of Taiwan reached 1.9 million, most of which were immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. The immigrants reclaimed a large amount of wasteland, making Taiwan an emerging agricultural area, and provided a large amount of rice and sugar to the mainland. Daily consumer goods and building materials imported from the mainland made Taiwan's economy develop to a considerable extent. At this time, Taiwan had close contact with Fujian and Guangdong, and Chinese culture was more comprehensively introduced to Taiwan.
Since Britain launched the Opium War invading China in 1840, Western powers forced China to open trade ports. Danshui, Chicken, Anping and Kaohsiung in Taiwan opened ports one after another. Opium was imported as the bulk, and tea, sugar and camphor were mainly exported.
At the same time, the island country embarked on the path of capitalist development through the "Meiji Restoration" and began to "expand territory" from the outside world, and took Ryukyu and Taiwan as their targets for expansion south. In January 1874, the Japanese army invaded Taiwan.
It is now 1855, and Taiwan Island is still under the control of the Qing government. If it were 1874, Taiwan would have been occupied by the island devils. Of course, Liu Yihua would not allow this period of history to happen again. Since he could not take the initiative to attack the island country, Liu Yihua seized the time to occupy Taiwan Island first, which would change the history of Taiwan Island.
Liu Yihua’s idea is to occupy all the large islands around our country! In this way, at least we can defend our country’s coastline, so that those Western powers can’t easily get close to our country’s coastline.
