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

Thanks to book friend Dancing Three Armies for your generous reward, here is today’s third update ^_^

Although even with the addition of more than 5,000 people from the 15th Red Army, the 28th Red Army barely reached 8,000 troops, which is not at the same level as the 15th Red Army with more than 100,000 troops, but with Hu Weidong's "

After the promise that "new recruits from the Red Army will be replenished first to the 28th Army", the strength of the 28th Red Army suddenly expanded to more than 30,000 people in just one month, and there were also more than 50,000 basic militiamen as reserve troops.

, Gao Jingting's ability to pull troops is evident. Of course, this is also because with the full help of the 15th Red Army, most of the former Hubei, Henan, and Anhui Soviet Areas have been recovered. Otherwise, even if Gao Jingting has the ability, he will be a skillful woman who cannot make a meal without straw.

The reason why the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base areas were rebuilt so quickly was actually precisely because of the atrocities committed by the White Army during their occupation. In the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, which has a population of only over 2 million (at most 3.5 million), almost every citizen

Relatives have been massacred, and the hatred has been engraved in their hearts (in fact, many atrocities were committed by individuals, but ordinary people don't care so much.), as long as someone leads them to resist, they are not afraid of anything.

Hu Weidong was initially opposed to recruiting so many new soldiers in the base area, but the local revolutionary masses expressed that as long as the Red Army could avenge the villagers, they would send young men and women to the Red Army even if only the old, weak, women and children were left to farm.

, Hu Weidong couldn't help but secretly lamented that it was rare in the world for a government to make its own people hate it like this...

As he thought about it, Hu Weidong's eyes couldn't help but get a little moist. Although this was not the base in his mind, he had to protect the people here no matter what, even if the Party Central Committee decided to abandon this land for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance in the future (in fact, the great man

He has always been opposed to abandoning the Dabie Mountain base area, but the Yangtze River Bureau was still controlled by Wang Ming at that time.), he will also argue for it, at least to transfer the local people to other base areas. The Red Party started by relying on the people, no matter what

No matter how difficult it is, we must never abandon the people...

However, although the support of the people is important, the Red Army was able to regain more than a dozen counties within a month because the Kuomintang had just failed in its last large-scale encirclement and suppression of the 28th Red Army, and the regular army had basically withdrawn.

Beyond the scope of the Dabie Mountains, how difficult is it for Hu Weidong's 100,000-strong army to deal with the Rangers and militia, which total only 20,000 to 30,000 people? Instead, it is the prisoners who can be transformed (the Rangers are reactionary and stubborn, so it is very difficult to transform, while the militiamen are very difficult to transform)

Most of them were of poor quality, and Hu Weidong looked down upon them.) The team was limited, which made Hu Weidong feel a little regretful, but he thought that the evil Einsatzgruppe finally became insignificant after that (it only numbered more than 10,000 people at most, and the original Central Soviet Area had killed more than 4,000 people.

More than 5,000 more people were killed in the Dabie Mountains. Basically all the die-hard reactionaries were killed. In addition, its leader Kang Ze had long been killed. Even if it was replenished and rebuilt in the future, it would be difficult for the Rangers to return to their peak strength.) However, Hu Weidong

Feeling more gratified...

During this period of more than a month, in addition to restoring the base area and expanding the Red Army, Hu Weidong also asked Gao Jingting to mobilize the local people to build a barely usable field airport as quickly as possible. Hu Weidong was not planning to use the Dabie Mountains as a base in the future.

The fundamental reason is that he learned the hard way after eight thousand elite soldiers fought bloody battles in the Yangtze River, and believed that if his own air force had participated in the war, at least the losses would have been reduced a lot. Due to the outstanding political work of the party organizations in the Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Anhui Soviet areas, the captured national troops

There are already more and more military pilots and flight students who are willing to stand on the side of the people and fight against the National Army. However, since Nanchang between the crossing point and the Soviet area has been "recaptured" by the National Army, if they had driven

Aircraft support would inevitably be intercepted by the National Army Air Force and anti-aircraft firepower, so Hu Weidong ultimately did not let them dispatch. But if there was a field airport in the Dabie Mountains, Soviet aircraft could be transferred here to avoid Nanchang, which is now

Two flying brigades have already been stationed, so they can freely go out to support the Eighth Red Army in the battle. In addition, with the poor range of those aircraft, if you want to fly to the base area that Hu Weidong has chosen in his heart, you need to have someone on the way.

airport as a transfer point......

Although the Fourth Front Army had had one aircraft before, Gao Jingting was still greatly shocked when he saw the fleet. He originally felt that the achievements of the Red Fifteenth Army were bragging, and he was completely convinced. He has never been easily convinced.

For the first time, the general of the Red Army was in awe of Hu Weidong, a young junior.

When the plane transferred, it also brought over the pilots and scientific and technological experts who had stayed in the Soviet areas of Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Anhui. For this reason, Hu Weidong had already made arrangements when he left the Soviet areas. He believed that with the Red Army's financial resources, bombers would be very useful.

It is a luxury thing. It is better to use it as a reduced version of a transport aircraft. In this way, elite talents such as experts and pilots can quickly move across the Kuomintang-controlled areas and between various Soviet areas. Although it exists due to the poor reliability of the aircraft.

There is a certain danger, but it is much more convenient and safer than taking the land route. Most of the aerial bombs that were originally transported to the Soviet area were dismantled and used as materials for making bullets. This suddenly improved the cost-effectiveness a lot. After all, even the Red Fifteenth

The army currently relies mainly on capture and maintenance, and has no confidence to engage in extravagant "air-ground coordination". Of course, bomber pilots, bombardiers and other crews still need to be trained, but only as a technical reserve...

On August 25, 1935, after learning that He Yingqin had re-appointed Gu Zhutong and assembled 300,000 troops to eliminate the Eighth Red Army and the Dabie Mountain Soviet Area in one fell swoop, Hu Weidong finally decided to march towards the goal he had chosen long ago.

The Thousand Miles Transfer for more than half a year has come in. This is because although Gu Zhutong is not a first-rate general, he is very stable in using troops. It is very difficult to find a loophole. However, he still has an army of 300,000 in Dabie Mountain.

It is also located between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, so it is very convenient for troops from neighboring countries to rush for reinforcements. Even if the strength of the Eighth Red Army has soared to 150,000, it will definitely not get any benefits if it fights hard, so it is undoubtedly the best choice to mobilize the enemy outside.

, and the Dabie Mountains are only a few hundred miles away from the ideal base in Hu Weidong's mind, so he is naturally happy to solve the two problems together. For this reason, Hu Weidong had already begun to prepare for a rainy day when he first entered the Dabie Mountains, and the report of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China was even more

To his surprise, more than one underground party had penetrated into one of the most important arsenals of the Kuomintang. Hu Weidong could no longer complain about the Kuomintang's poor counterintelligence capabilities...
