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

Hu Weidong's method of reforming Japanese prisoners of war was much more ruthless than that of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in history. Those who refused to answer questions were beheaded, those who went on a hunger strike (usually wounded soldiers) were beheaded, those who refused to work were beheaded, and those who beat and cursed were beheaded.

For the first time, only those with special expertise can be exempted. Mao Zetan, as the political commissar, pretended that he didn't see it, and it was even harder for others to say anything...

As a result, within a few days, more than half of the Japanese prisoners were lost. Hu Weidong did not regret it. Anyway, he only needed to have prisoners of war, and the number did not matter. After the prisoners were captured, they started to kill them, just to select those who were easier to reform.

, otherwise he would kill only a few but find that they were all stabbed in the head, which would be useless. When the Japanese prisoners knew that they were afraid, Hu Weidong implemented the Red Army's traditional policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners" and achieved twice the result with half the effort. Later,

A considerable number of Japanese prisoners changed their stance under the strong political offensive, and at least were able to accept reeducation through labor with peace of mind.

The soldiers have been successfully transformed, and the Japanese technicians at the Daye Iron Mine are easier to deal with. Except for a few who are unwilling to eat anything and are dragged out to kill chickens and monkeys, the others are working honestly for the 15th Red Army. Among them

Several technical backbones have contributed a lot to China's industrialization, especially the serious work attitude of Japanese workers (which completely disappeared after the rise of otaku culture at the end of the 20th century). Hu Weidong later called on Chinese workers to learn...

..

Perhaps it was the Red Army's two previous battles in conquering Hangzhou and Nanchang that established its reputation. After the fall of the Daye Iron Mine, He Yingqin, who was in charge of commanding all the national troops in Hubei Province, was worried that the Red Army's attack on three towns in Wuhan would lead to twenty

Tens of thousands of troops were concentrated in Wuhan, and although He Yingqin was weak and incompetent, he had always been close to the Japanese and had already heard about the novel tactic of indirect bombardment, so he naturally would not let Hu Weidong take advantage of it again.

Under such circumstances, He Yingqin huddled and defended with superior strength, and the 15th Red Army really couldn't do anything to him.

Hu Weidong's response to this was quite conspiratorial. He arrogantly asked people to collect ships to prepare to cross the river. If He Yingqin sent troops to obstruct them, then destroy them. If they did not come, Hu Weidong would lead his army to cross the river and use the route from Wuhan to Daye.

distance, by the time the Nationalist army, which basically relied on walking, arrived at the crossing point, the 15th Red Army had already reached the other side. After all, the Yangtze River in this area is much narrower than the lower reaches...

A few days later, there was still no movement from He Yingqin. Hu Weidong, who wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this traitor, had to regretfully order to cross the river, but he forgot one thing. Although He Yingqin was incompetent, he had a high status. Not only the Hubei Army

Under his control, the aviation force was also at his disposal...

When almost two-thirds of the Red Army's 15th Army crossed the Yangtze River, a huge fleet of dozens of aircraft flew in from the west, and all the ships on the river were immediately destroyed.

When being bombed on land, you can at least lie down and evade, but on the ship, you can only wait for death in despair. Some soldiers who are not willing to die in vain pick up machine guns or even rifles to shoot in the air, but it is difficult to deal with the hovering sky.

The national army aircraft caused substantial damage. At this time, Hu Weidong, who had arrived in Jiangbei, had miraculous artillery skills, but because he did not have a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun with sufficient range, he could only watch his subordinates being slaughtered without being able to help him.

, his heart felt like a knife was cutting him, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he shouted regardless of the image, "Hurry up, come here quickly!"

Although Hu Weidong was anxious, his mind was still very clear. The flight time and ammunition carrying capacity of aircraft these days are incomparable to those of later generations. It won't be long before they have to return. If the Red Army commanders and fighters on the river and the south bank move faster, even this round

He could only withstand the air raids. At least he could cross the Yangtze River before the next flight of these planes. As long as he kept his feet on the ground, the threat from the planes would not be that great. His rationality prevented the 15th Red Army from suffering greater losses.

, when the national army planes arrived again, they found that all the Red Army had crossed the Yangtze River, so they had to leave angrily. After all, they did not dare to bomb the main force of the 15th Red Army, which was waiting in full formation. After all, it was impossible to shoot if it flew high, but it was easy to shoot if it flew low.

Is it much easier and more pleasant to be shot down by machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, or to bomb ships with much larger targets and poor air defense capabilities...

Even so, the 15th Red Army lost more than 15,000 people while crossing the river, and most of them were killed. Once the ship sank, no matter how good the water was, the soldiers would have a narrow escape if they were swept away by the fast river.

.Perhaps the only thing that Hu Weidong is thankful for is that he allowed experts, technicians, students and other non-combatants and heavy equipment to board the ship first, and luckily did not suffer any losses...

Seeing the shocking number of dead and missing, Hu Weidong cried for the first time since time travel. Those behind him were all elite soldiers. The loss of more than 15,000 people was enough to reduce the combat strength of the 15th Red Army by 30%. Hu Weidong also

From this, I realized that I was still a long way from becoming a qualified general. The most important thing for a commander of a small unit is bravery and ingenuity, while the commander of a large unit needed to be thoughtful, which meant that he had to

Try to make as few mistakes as possible, and in this regard, Hu Weidong is far from qualified. If it were not for his overwhelming intelligence superiority, all the victories he has fought since he started the army would probably have had different results. And in the future, the war against Japan will be unexpected.

Encounters and sudden attacks by the enemy are inevitable. Hu Weidong still has a long way to go before he can become the mainstay of the War of Resistance...

Not only Hu Weidong is still in the growth stage, but the same is true for the other two leading cadres of the 15th Red Army. Perhaps they have richer war experience than Hu Weidong, but that is basically just guerrilla warfare experience. Improving the tactical level, especially

Air defense awareness is urgent. If they could have warned them verbally at that time, how could Hu Weidong, who did not understand the terrible air force, make such a low-level mistake?

Hu Weidong was not someone who just let it go after suffering a loss, but considering the current situation of the 15th Red Army, he decided to lead the troops north first, because that was the former Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army and the 20th Red Army

The hometown of the Fifth Army, and its geographical name is unknown to everyone in later generations - Dabie Mountain...

And He Yingqin, who had taken advantage of him, blew the bullshit to the sky in his telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, "One hundred thousand bandits were killed, and the corpses were floating in the river." After saying this, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, and he immediately appointed him.

He Yingqin was the commander-in-chief of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border area and was fully responsible for hunting down the "remnants" of the 15th Red Army and the "remnant bandits" in the Dabie Mountains. He Yingqin was immediately dumbfounded and asked him to lead troops to fight against the 15th Red Army. That was not the case.

Looking for death? But he couldn't say that he had lied before, so he had to desperately find an excuse to ask for reinforcements from Chiang Kai-shek. However, Chiang Kai-shek was trying to take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining Red Army units in northern Shaanxi and Jiangnan, and there were no spare troops left.

To He Yingqin? So more than a month passed unknowingly. He Yingqin still stayed in Hankou and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, but did not send a single soldier to pursue the Red Army. Hu Weidong got the time he needed most...
