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

Thanks to book friend highschool for your generous reward^_^

First of all, Hu Weidong himself underestimated the enemy. He only saw the incompetence of the enemy generals, but underestimated the impact of the quality of grassroots officers and soldiers on the combat effectiveness of the army. If the commander of the 88th Division had not just been replaced by the famous general Chen Mingren to "Flying General" Sun Yuanliang, "

"Commander Tang" happened to be on the front line to supervise the battle and was killed by the Red Army's artillery fire. The independent division might even be severely defeated in this battle. Thinking of these things, Hu Weidong couldn't help but feel frightened. For this reason, he even put aside his dignity as a division commander and publicly reviewed the whole division.

Unexpectedly, it actually won a higher prestige among the entire division.

Secondly, the independent division is now too bloated. In addition to the 70,000 to 80,000 combat troops, there are also more than 30,000 technicians, experts and young students from the three major schools. These people are not combatants. They have to provide military protection and obtain cars.

The independent division no longer has to worry about artillery slowing down its march, but the troops can basically only move along the road. As a result, the independent division has lost its original flexibility and mobility, and its advantage of being the first mover has been greatly weakened. These two problems

The exposure also became an important reason why Hu Weidong gave up field artillery and automobiles and greatly streamlined his combat troops soon...

In addition, the special forces that had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in the early days of the army should have been reborn in strength now, but they were increasingly useless in actual combat. Hu Weidong knew that this was due to the rapid increase in the scale of the battle. After all, a regiment was wiped out.

It is still possible for a brigade headquarters to send a small team of troops to take down a military headquarters, which requires incredible luck. As for reconnaissance work, it is enough to train a specialized reconnaissance unit.

The cost is much lower than that of multi-purpose special forces. As for the low-tech harassment work behind enemy lines such as raids, the cost-effectiveness of having guerrillas do it is tens of millions of times higher than that of special forces. But special forces are really important in the field.

Is it useless in a large-scale war? Or is it flashy? Due to emotional factors, Hu Weidong has always been unwilling to admit it, but now he has not thought that it was precisely because of his persistence that the little devils who later fought with him suffered a lot.

...

The artillery in this campaign played a role in turning the tide. After the war, many infantrymen shouted the slogan "Long live the artillery", which made the independent division's tradition of attaching importance to firepower more ingrained, but there were also hidden worries. In addition to affecting the mobility of the entire division,

In addition, because the arsenal has been operating with the army and lacks some necessary equipment, it is currently unable to produce qualified shells for 75mm mountain field guns. Although many were seized in Xunwu County, one less shell was used. In addition, the artillery fire was fierce.

This means fewer seizures. If the Fourth Division of the National Army had not discarded a lot of ammunition, the Independent Division would have definitely suffered a big loss in ammunition, especially artillery shells, in this battle. The weapons that were damaged by the bombing may still be repaired in the arsenal, but the ammunition is once

If you blow it up, there will be nothing left. Hu Weidong now finally understands the pain of the people's army in history. No matter how many enemies are wiped out, if more weapons and ammunition are captured than consumed, then the battle will be the same as losing.

From then on, while advocating the development of firepower, the Independent Division also began to emphasize the importance of saving ammunition. After all, even if the arsenal can build anything in the future, it will still be money. China is still very poor and needs ammunition in all aspects.

Money, there is no extravagant waste of capital...

The Independent Division once again annihilated and defeated three divisions of the Central Army (including the Battle of Ninghua before Tang Enbo), which was a huge blow to Chiang Kai-shek. However, Gu Zhutong was too cautious and was increasingly dissatisfied with the delay in ordering the south.

He finally made up his mind and let Liu Zhi take over Gu Zhutong's position and take over the important task of suppressing bandits in the two provinces. At the same time, he ordered Chen Cheng's Eighteenth Army to leave southwestern Jiangxi and also participate in the encirclement and suppression of the independent division. In Fujian, Chiang Kai-shek was in charge

Under pressure, he finally stopped using nepotism and let Wei Lihuang, a more talented general, take Jiang Dingwen's place. In this way, he thought that nothing would go wrong. There were elite soldiers and generals in three directions, and no matter how powerful the Red Army was, it would not be able to escape.

........

While Lao Jiang was daydreaming, the Party Central Committee during the Long March also learned the good news of another great victory for the Independent Division. In addition, the victory of crossing Chishui four times made Taizu's prestige in the Red Army and the Party unprecedentedly high. He could finally follow his own example.

He wanted to give the independent division due recognition for its achievements. However, Taizu's motion to upgrade the independent division to a legion was still not passed. On the one hand, Hu Weidong was too young, and on the other hand, his achievements were not fully confirmed.

.....

Taizu had no choice but to obey the majority, and temporarily upgraded the independent division to the 15th Red Army. However, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission finally collectively approved Taizu's proposal, which will be Hu Weidong's 15th Red Army and its recovery.

The various Soviet districts and counties in the Soviet area were directly responsible to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. Those Red Army guerrillas that were merged into the independent divisions would also follow the Red Army's 15th Army in their organizational relationships. This directly led to the Red Army's 15th Army having plundered a large number of people who were not yet conspicuous at this time (

Relatively speaking), it has developed rapidly due to the outstanding talents of later generations, and has produced a series of far-reaching impacts...

Among them, the four members of the Red Army guerrillas in Western Fujian directly raised the strength of the 15th Red Army to almost a level. Chen Tanqiu, Deng Zihui, Tan Zhenlin, and Zhang Dingcheng are all famous figures in later generations. Because of this, at least for now, in fact

Hu Weidong, who did not know much about people, easily managed to know people well and appoint them well. He put Chen in charge of mass work, Zhang in charge of organizational work and internal rectification, Deng in charge of rural and logistics work, and Tan in charge of military and political work. They all received

A good effect. In addition, since all of the four except Chen have some ability to lead troops, Hu Weidong naturally will not let them go to waste. He arranged for three people to serve as political commissars of the three main brigades, among which Tan Zhenlin also served as

The outstanding work of the brigade commanders of the Third Brigade of the First Independent Division gave Hu Weidong a lot of help.

In fact, with the talents, achievements and qualifications of the four people, it is somewhat aggrieved to hold such a position. However, Mao Zetan, the great man's younger brother, whose position was no lower than theirs before joining the independent division, is now just a regiment commander, so they have nothing to say.

It is unclear whether Hu Weidong has any complaints in his heart. But no matter what, he must establish the concept of "actual work performance determines the level of position" in the military. Only in this way can he block those who have no ability and rely entirely on the Soviet Union.

It is a gateway to speculation for those internationalists who are gilded and have high qualifications (those with real talent and knowledge are a different matter).

However, the four people are not as small-minded as Hu Weidong thought. Moreover, although their positions may have been demoted on the surface, the scale of the 15th Red Army is beyond the reach of their previous teams. One brigade has more troops than one of their armies.

, the firepower is more than that of a legion, and the living conditions are much better. What else can they be dissatisfied with?
