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

In addition to the four historical celebrities, Lai Changzuo, Zhong Desheng, Peng Shengbiao, Hu Rongjia, etc. who joined the team in Ruijin are also good talents. With the training of the military academy and combat experience, the quality of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the 15th Red Army has improved rapidly.

, Hu Weidong could finally stop being a boss and spend more time caring for schools and arsenals. At the same time, taking advantage of the heavy losses suffered by the national army, Hu Weidong ordered the three main brigades to act separately to capture the former Soviet areas that were still in the hands of the enemy.

In the core counties, the special agent group also got the opportunity to fight due to Mao Zetan's repeated invitations. The four armies fought separately, and the efficiency of siege of cities and territories almost quadrupled compared with when they could only go all the way, less than one

Within a month, a total of eleven counties including Shanghang, Yongding, Pinghe, Longyan, Liancheng, Qingliu, Mingxi in Fujian, Ningdu, Shicheng, Guangchang in Jiangxi and Dapu in Guangdong were all returned to the hands of the people.

The Fujian-Jiangxi Soviet Area has since been renamed the Fujian-Jiangxi-Guangdong Soviet Area. During this period, the 15th Red Army eliminated more than 30,000 miscellaneous national army troops, including militia groups, and the total military strength quickly exceeded the 100,000 mark.

During this period, the Nationalist Army's aircraft began to frequently visit the Soviet area. Even the marching 15th Red Army troops were subjected to many air attacks and suffered certain losses. Obviously, Old Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing was very angry. But Old Chiang Kai-shek

But they don’t understand that planes alone cannot destroy a large force. This kind of independent air strike isolated from the army not only has limited effect, but also gives the commanders and fighters of the Red Fifteenth Army a practical teaching lesson in air defense. The effect of the air strike is therefore

It got worse every time, and planes began to be shot down, so that the pilots who cherished their lives but hated the civil war stopped flying for a while. Chiang Kai-shek had to suspend this costly and meaningless venting of anger...

..

In this series of battles, Tan Zhenlin performed best among the four armies, followed by Mao Zetan. Although the other two armies were slightly worse, at least they had no problem fighting the militia. Hu Weidong had to admit that war is indeed the best training for people.

Even those who were engaged in political or even economic work (except for those who took up their positions directly from their student days) were forced to become commanders. Tan Zhenlin, who is versatile in both military and political affairs, is undoubtedly a rare talent. Hu Weidong immediately

He was promoted to division commander and political commissar of the newly-established Second Independent Division and submitted to the Central Committee for approval. However, the person who was promoted the fastest was none other than Mao Zetan. He was suddenly promoted from the head of the secret service regiment to the chief of staff of the army. This was not Hu Weidong's plan to impress a great man.

Shit, but Mao Zetan really made a great contribution that was crucial to the 15th Red Army...

Having not only eliminated the enemy but also expanded its territory, there is no doubt about the victory of the 15th Red Army. However, Hu Weidong's long-standing worries finally became a reality. The 15th Red Army began to suffer from a shortage of ammunition. Although the rubbish enemy troops were eliminated, although their own casualties were relatively high.

Small, but the seizures were also much smaller. Especially this time, the regular National Army troops retreated on their own initiative. Most of the bulk supplies were swept away by them. The 15th Red Army only picked up some leftovers. In addition, the size of the army is getting larger and larger.

, what I originally thought was a lot of seizures is now a drop in the bucket. For example, the 15th Red Army still has more than 5 million rounds of ammunition. Does it seem like a lot? In fact, when it is evenly distributed to each soldier, it is only a mere fifty rounds, not even one.

The base number is not enough. If the consumption of machine guns is included, the situation becomes even more stretched. The biggest problem is pistol ammunition, which is now less than 300,000 rounds. On average, the 15th Red Army has more than 1,200 submachine guns and nearly 4,000 rounds.

On a twenty-gun gun, each can get less than 60 rounds of bullets, which is just two or three magazines. For submachine guns and twenty-gun guns that consume bullets very quickly, this amount of bullets is simply not enough to fight a tough battle.

of.

In addition, other military supplies and even daily necessities are also facing severe shortages. Because of Chiang Kai-shek's military defeat, he naturally resorted to the magic weapon of economic blockade. The salt problem alone was enough to make Hu Weidong very anxious. After all, it is not as good as it was back then.

With a population of more than one million in the Soviet area, the problem cannot be solved by looting alone. Unless we can break the enemy's encirclement in one go and rush to the salt-producing areas to grab enough at once, but that is nothing short of wishful thinking, and the Soviet area is currently in short supply.

It's not just a necessity like salt......

Just when Hu Weidong was about to launch a military adventure regardless of the fatigue of his soldiers, and kill the enemy outside the scope of the original Central Soviet Area to ease the supply shortage in the Soviet Area, Mao Zetan, who had just led a special agent group to surprise attack in Dabu County, Guangdong,

Sent back a good news...

It turns out that long before the Long March of the Central Red Army, the Soviet area government had a large number of economic contacts with the Guangdong warlord Chen Jitang. One of the most important trades was that the Red Army sold tungsten sand produced in the Soviet area to Chen Jitang, and Chen Jitang then worked as a second-tier dealer to export it.

Earn huge profits abroad. Although the Soviet area government only gets a small amount, this income is enough to support most of the expenses of the Soviet area government and the Red Army. It is not an exaggeration to call it the economic pillar of the Soviet area. On the other hand,

Under Chiang Kai-shek's long-term blockade, the Guangdong Province controlled by Chen Jitang was almost the only window for the Soviet government to import bulk supplies from the outside world. After Wang Ming's line gained momentum, the Red Army, which had given up external operations, could no longer obtain supplies from the enemy.

The tug-of-war for positions also caused a sharp increase in ammunition consumption, and the transaction volume between the Soviet District Government and Chen Jitang reached new highs.

The person in charge of this matter at that time was Mao Zetan's second brother - the president of the "State Bank of China" and the director of the "State Administration of Foreign Trade" Mao Zemin. Therefore, after Mao Zetan captured Dabu County, he immediately thought of this line. It happened that Chen Jitang

Now seeing that Chiang Kai-shek's power is getting stronger and stronger, especially after annexing many local warlords during the pursuit of the Long March Red Army, he feels uneasy. The strong rise of the 15th Red Army has undoubtedly become his subconscious desire to grasp

A life-saving straw for living, and the 15th Red Army did have a lot of coveted goods on hand now, so the smell of gunpowder smoke in Dabu County had not completely dissipated, and the two warring parties started doing business there.

...

After intense but friendly negotiations, Mao Zetan sold the unused materials accumulated by the 15th Red Army (such as antiques, jewelry and other traditional commodities such as pure tungsten sand) in Guangdong.

It was much more cost-effective than finding private dealers to sell them locally in Jiangxi (although Chen Jitang was not very generous.) Almost all of them were emptied, and almost all the hard currency accumulated by the 15th Red Army since its inception (the total value was more than 100

Wan Dayang), in exchange for more than 50,000 tons of grain, more than 3,000 tons of salt and other civilian and military supplies, as well as some equipment, instruments and raw materials necessary for Hu Weidong's military development plan. The most significant among them is the 15th Red Army

The 15 million rounds of rifle ammunition (all Mauser 79-point bullets) and 2 million rounds of pistol ammunition that are urgently needed now, coupled with the reloaded bullets from the arsenal, the Red Fifteenth Army, at least in terms of ammunition, will be enough.

Been there for a long time.
