Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

After returning to Xingguo, the Independent Division did not stay too long. Due to the large number of non-combatants accompanying the army, the Independent Division could only attack, attack, and attack again. Once it stopped and was attacked by the enemy, even if it finally won, it would not be possible.

There would be a large number of technicians and educated youths killed or injured or fleeing in chaos, which would be unacceptable to Hu Weidong. Besides, Hu Weidong's goal has always been to cross the river and go north to fight with Japan. What's the point of holding back and fighting a civil war in the south? Of course.

Everything must be based on protecting the revolutionary masses in the Soviet area, but Hu Weidong believes that this is not inconsistent with the independent division going north to fight against Japan...

After these days of understanding, Hu Weidong gradually understood that the National Army was not all crazy villains. There were even a few model troops with military discipline that was no less than that of the Red Army. And when it came to the most serious harm to the people in the Soviet area, the first was the Rangers.

Next came the landlord militia (returning regiment), and then the warlord troops (Note 1). Among them, the Rangers declined rapidly after Kang Ze's death, and the warlord troops that participated in the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign also all declined after the Central Red Army began the Long March.

After leaving the Soviet area, as for the landlord militia, there is no need to be afraid based on the militia system established by Hu Weidong in each county. You must know that each county has an average of several thousand basic militiamen, and Hu Weidong also divided the old rifles that the independent divisions cannot use.

Gave them...

However, if a large force of the National Army invades the Soviet area, the militiamen in the counties will be unable to resist it. The militia can pretend to be powerful and do evil. This is something Hu Weidong never wants to see. But if the independent division insists on defending the counties in the Soviet area, it will undoubtedly commit another crime.

If we forget the mistakes made by the Central Red Army under the command of Li De, it will not only needlessly sacrifice the lives of the vast number of commanders and soldiers, but also cause the villagers to suffer greater suffering. The blood of the Central Soviet Area has been drained, and it will not be as it was before

If the fight continues, these counties where it is now difficult to see young people may really become no man's land...

To break this deadlock, Hu Weidong could only lead an independent division to attack the Kuomintang-controlled area as instructed by Taizu, draw away the main force of the Kuomintang army, and save the people in the Soviet area. Of course, doing so is tantamount to an "East Route"

The "Long March" may not be as difficult as the Long March taken by the Central Red Army, but it is still more dangerous. The areas it passes through are the core areas ruled by Chiang Kai-shek, and the independent division may be completely wiped out as long as it loses once. However,

In any case, for the sake of the millions of revolutionary people in the former Central Soviet Area and to end the civil war as soon as possible, Hu Weidong decided to give it a try. But before going north, Hu Weidong felt that he had to first remove the millions of people in the "occupied areas"

The revolutionary masses were all rescued...

On March 16, 1935, the independent division, whose strength exceeded 50,000, left Xingguo and advanced toward the southeast after a short period of repair. It only took ten days to capture Yudu and Anyuan counties.

Such results are due to the fact that the troops stationed in these two counties are all third-rate troops of the National Army. On the other hand, they benefit from the huge intelligence advantage obtained by the Red Army telegraph operators who deciphered the National Army's code. At the same time, these counties are the territory of the former Soviet area.

The old Red Army soldiers in Hu Weidong's team are local snakes. Even offensive battles are as convenient as internal battles. They are naturally easy to fight. But the most important thing is that Hu Weidong boldly used camouflage tactics continuously and took the risk to personally lead his own vanguard troops to camouflage.

Only by conducting tactical deception deep into enemy territory could the Chengguo army achieve such incredible results...

As early as the battle between Yongfeng and Xingan, the Independent Division captured no less than a hundred vehicles. After Hu Weidong returned from Pingxiang, he found that these hidden goodies were still there, and he immediately came up with the idea of ​​forming a motorized force.

, anyway, there are quite a few among the surrendered troops of the Tax Police Corps who can drive. Together with the descendants of other national army troops, there are still a total of three to five hundred people. The "liberation fighters" are great! Moreover, Hu Weidong seizes every free moment.

It takes time to teach the commanders and fighters of the entire army, especially the special operations team members, how to drive cars, so as to avoid having too many cars seized in the future but unable to drive them, and then being snatched back or blown up by the enemy, which will make you want to cry without tears.

.....

No enemy would have thought that a group of nearly 2,000 men, almost all armed with a submachine gun, were uniformly dressed in neat national army uniforms. Not only were the leather boots polished, but even the buckles were fastened meticulously.

The infantry turned out to be the Red Army? As a result, the main forces of the national army in these two counties were muddleheadedly disarmed in the county seat. Even if there were those who dared to resist, how could the enemies gathered in the empty field withstand the fire of thousands of submachine guns?

What about Metal Storm? This is not a battle at all, it is a massacre in disguise...

After the main force in the county town was wiped out, the independent divisions sent by Hu Weidong in regiments to the villages and towns below, even though they generally lacked excellent military officers to command, were able to easily eliminate small groups of enemies in each township with no more than a few hundred people at most.

In this way, the independent division only consumed tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and a dozen mortar shells, and suffered one or two hundred casualties. It wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops, of which more than 8,000 were captured as prisoners. They were replenished as soon as they were captured.

The complaint movement once again showed great power. Even if the militia is not counted, the independent division now has more than 60,000 troops, more than half of whom are "liberation fighters". Due to the large number of seizures obtained from consecutive victories, their equipment is completely

Not inferior to the elite troops of the national army.

The independent division gained momentum, and local work became easier. Not only did the revolutionary masses gain more support, but many gentry and landlords also began to change their stance. Hu Weidong seized this opportunity to carry out united front work. He implemented "the "Kuomintang" local government and militia groups.

The policy of "attacking the heart first and attacking the bottom" requires the democratic autonomous governments of counties to strengthen their contacts with local enlightened people, and even advocates the establishment of a two-sided regime to prevent the revolutionary masses and innocent people from being brutally retaliated by the national army. Hu Weidong also

The past "resolute fight against local militias" has been changed to "three no strikes", that is to say: if the local militia does not shoot first, then the independent division (and county militia, later.) will not fight; the local militia is willing and independent

If the independent division has not left, the independent division will not fight. If the local militia does not report to the White Army before the independent division leaves, the independent division will not fight. The lives and property of local enlightened people will be protected, even for some local politicians with reactionary ideas.

If you do not make an enemy of the Independent Division and do not harm the revolutionary masses, the Independent Division will not fight or kill; if you provide financial and food assistance to the Independent Division, or provide cover for the wounded and sick, the Independent Division will protect you and keep them confidential.

Note 1: A common saying during the Republic of China was that the Central Army's military discipline was not as good as that of the warlords' troops, but this had a premise - the warlords were local, otherwise these miscellaneous troops would harm the people more severely than most of the Central Army, and there would be no need to make a mess anyway.

They clean up. The most typical example is the Gui Army, which was known for its good military discipline in Guangxi. It committed many burning, killing, raping and looting in the Soviet area. Although the Central Army has mixed good and bad, because of its status as a government army, it can be found everywhere.

The sense of belonging, as long as the general is not a top-notch commander like Commander Tang, is generally okay...
