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

Due to Liu Zhi's misjudgment, it was not until the 15th Red Army crossed Tianmu Mountain and advanced towards the city of Hangzhou that Liu Zhi realized that the Red Army was really going to attack Hangzhou. He immediately panicked and quickly assembled his troops to go north for rescue and reported to the Military Commission

Asking for help, I hope Nanjing can quickly send troops to rescue the emergency. After all, the Qiantang River Bridge is still under construction. It will not be possible to transport Liu Zhi's 100,000 troops across the river in a day or two with just the few ferries collected urgently.

, not to mention that it took several days for Liu Zhi's army of 100,000 to be assembled. Probably because he was afraid of being beaten last time, Liu Zhi was very cautious this time and did not start crossing the river until the main force was gathered.

But this caused great harm to the national army reinforcements in the north. As a result, Liu Zhi's army received a telegram that Hangzhou had been lost before all of Liu Zhi's army had crossed the Qiantang River...

Since the national army at this time had not yet mastered more accurate radio detection and positioning technology (historically, it was not provided by the Americans until the late Anti-Japanese War), so Long Feibao and other special forces members could safely determine the important military positions in Hangzhou.

The coordinates of the target were telegraphed to the military commander one by one. At the same time, due to the absolute advantage of the 15th Red Army, the attack came so suddenly that the Hangzhou defenders had no time to build fortifications outside the city, and did not dare to go out to meet the attack, so they had to huddle inside the city and defend.

, Hu Weidong suddenly felt confident, knowing that his plan was in sight. However, in order to give full play to the power of the new tactics, Hu Weidong did not order an attack immediately, but waited until dark to let the artillery use the cover of night to advance to the city.

Various artillery positions were designated, and immediately launched a fierce artillery bombardment on many military targets that had been positioned in the city. The 75mm field gun had a range of more than eight kilometers. When it approached the edge of the city and fired, with the scale of the city during the Republic of China,

Enough to hit many targets in Hangzhou...

Under this sudden and violent bombardment, thousands of Nationalist officers and soldiers died in their sleep before they could fully wake up, and the city of Hangzhou fell into unprecedented chaos. In addition, underground parties and special operations forces

The team members' fanning the flames made the situation in the city completely out of control, so that the remaining national troops could not organize themselves at all. At this time, Hangzhou's already dilapidated city walls had long been bombarded by 150mm heavy mortars that had been converted into flat-firing cannons.

It was a mess. Under the guidance of the fire in the city, the special agent group of the 15th Red Army, led by the military political commissar Mao Zetan, took the lead and rushed into the city...

The strong military quality and special equipment configuration of the special agent group showed great power in night street fighting. However, the national army in the city did not have a clear advantage in numbers, and the equipment was even worse. The organization was completely disrupted.

, and when everyone fell into unprecedented panic, the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers quickly collapsed, and they began to surrender to the Red Army in droves. As a result, the 15th Red Army captured Hangzhou without even losing a single battalion.

A big city, the process went so smoothly that even Hu Weidong himself, who formulated the attack plan, was a little surprised...

The indirect artillery tactics, which Hu Weidong calls "artillery blind firing technology" (that is, not through visual inspection by artillery, but based on the data provided by artillery observers on the front line to bombard targets that they cannot see) are actually not particularly advanced.

Tactics, not to mention the European and American powers, even the Japanese artillery has mastered this ability, but the national army with backward tactics generally knows nothing about it (in fact, it is also because the opponent is the Red Army, which has always been uncultured in the impression, if it is with the Japanese army

(You may have taken precautions beforehand.) Not only was the city defense layout very problematic, but there was also no awareness of artillery defense at night, which was why so many people were lost all at once, and they became a mess and the Red Army took advantage of the loophole. To

Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve great results with the limited range and power of the 75mm field gun. In general, if this tactic is to be used effectively in siege battles with limited vision, accurate maps are needed.

For reference, it is probably difficult to find another person like Hu Weidong who can command artillery to accurately hit targets in the city just by relying on the coordinates reported by some observers. It is no wonder that military fans all over the world later gave him a nickname.

——"The God of Guns"......

Regarding national industries such as the match factory in Hangzhou, Hu Weidong strictly ordered his subordinates not to harass or destroy them. Even for some of the equipment and raw materials he needed, he purchased them from these manufacturers at a price not lower than the average market price. Banks and pawn shops and the like purely used money.

Hu Weidong’s attitude towards financial or quasi-financial institutions that generate money is much tougher. The reason why he treats them so differently is that under the semi-colonial and semi-feudal status quo of old China (for a big country like China, only the real economy is developed, and the financial

, especially the privately controlled financial industry, which has more advantages than disadvantages.) These institutions are definitely more harmful than beneficial to the Chinese people. It is not an exaggeration to call them vampires; secondly, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols are the behind-the-scenes support of Chiang Kai-shek.

(But later during the Anti-Japanese War, they were counterattacked by the bureaucratic comprador forces represented by the "Four Big Families". In addition, most of the fixed assets were destroyed by the war. After that, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols failed to recover. There was no way, money was never the opponent of power in China...

...), Hu Weidong would naturally not be polite. As a result, the total value of gold, silver, foreign exchange and other hard currencies was seized in the amount of tens of millions. If all items such as antiques, paintings and calligraphy could be liquidated, it would be an astronomical figure.

.

Looking at this series of figures, and then thinking about the hundreds of millions of people who don't even have enough to eat, and China's national industry is also struggling, Hu Weidong becomes even more resentful towards these plutocrats. It should be noted that in this era, companies that have invested over one million oceans have invested in China.

Even if they are big factories, these Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols have the wealth of the enemy country, but they basically use it to lend money, buy land and other undertakings that are of no benefit to the country and the people, and rely on the blood and sweat of the Chinese people to support themselves day by day.

Feishuo, even if it occasionally sets up industries, they are all light industries that bring in quick money. No one invests in the heavy industries that the country is most in need of now (there are still private heavy industry companies, but none of them have a financial background, but almost all of them have suffered

The losses suffered by financiers caused many bankruptcies.). The government did not support it, and the richest people in the country did not invest. It was only a ghost that the heavy industry of the Republic of China could develop. It is no wonder that during the so-called "Golden Decade"

On the contrary, the heavy industrial production of the Republic of China shrank day by day, so much so that it was even worse than during the Beiyang government...

In addition, after all, Hangzhou is a big city with a population of nearly 600,000, and its economy is enough to rank among the top ten in China today. Even if there are not many troops stationed, the city has sufficient weapons, ammunition and various supplies. Just checking the warehouses is enough.

Let the 15th Red Army make a lot of money...
