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

This book finally has its first deacon, thank you book friend Dancing Three Armies for another reward ^_^

It turned out that Hu Weidong led the main force of the 15th Red Army to confront the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army in the Zhongtiao Mountains. It was just a trick on his part. Not long ago, more than 8,000 commanders and fighters of the newly formed elite mountain brigade had already been under the command of the Army Chief of Staff Fang Yongle.

Avoiding the enemy's interception on the road, relying on their strong skills and some special equipment specially made by Hu Weidong, they successfully crossed the Zhongtiao Mountains, which is considered a natural danger in the eyes of ordinary people, and suddenly reached the foot of Taiyuan City. However, at this time, Xue Yue was killed by Yan Xishan

After being driven away, Fu Zuoyi suddenly led his troops back north, forcing Yan Xishan to send troops from Taiyuan north to fill the gap, making Taiyuan unprecedentedly empty at this time. What's even more terrible is that Hu Weidong had sent troops to lurk in Taiyuan City a few months ago.

At this time, hundreds of special operations team members suddenly launched an attack and attacked Yan Xishan's favorite Taiyuan Arsenal...

Since guns were not banned during the Republic of China, and shell guns were extremely common, the special forces team members dispersed into Taiyuan City, so they did not attract the attention of the defenders at all. However, with the cooperation of the underground party, they suddenly broke into and took control of the arsenal.

, there were thousands of troops and police in the city, and for a while they were unable to do anything to these plainclothes men who only had pistols. It turned out that Yan Xishan cherished his arsenal very much, and the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army were afraid of accidentally damaging the machinery and equipment of the arsenal, or even detonating it.

There are no ammunition or chemical raw materials stored in the arsenal, so they basically dare not fire on the enemy. Even the use of heavy machine guns is strictly restricted. However, the special operations team members have no such scruples. They even launch cannons directly from the warehouse and use them unscrupulously.

How can we fight this battle when bombarding the Jinsui Army attacking the arsenal? Moreover, even without the use of cannons, the excellent marksmanship and skill of the special forces team members and the strong firepower of twenty shots at close range are enough to fight ten times in street fighting.

To one's own enemy...

"This battle is impossible to fight. In just half a day, the casualties exceeded a thousand people. The Red Bandits even arrogantly used the artillery in the arsenal to bombard our soldiers! Please allow our artillery to participate in the battle!", who is deeply trusted by Yan Xishan.

Artillery commander Zhou Dai pleaded.

"No, there are so many explosives in the arsenal and artillery shells and grenades that have not been transported away in time, why won't all the cannons be blown up when they go off?" Yan Xishan refused.

"Even if it explodes, we can't leave it to the red bandits!" Zhou Dai said anxiously.

"I can't bear to let you go, old man! This is all the hard work of more than five years, how can it be destroyed in our own hands?" Yan Xishan shouted with a grimace, clenched his fists and pounded his thighs.

Yan Xishan's hesitation caused the Taiyuan defenders to suffer greater losses. When the eight thousand elites of the Mountain Brigade appeared at the gates of Taiyuan like magic soldiers descending from the sky, even if Yan Xishan wanted to change his mind and blow up the arsenal, it was too late.

He had no choice but to abandon Taiyuan City, where he had invested a lot of effort over the years, and fled to western Shanxi under the life-saving protection of his subordinates. For a moment, he really felt like "the world is big, but there is no place for it."...

..

At present, there are a large number of Red Army troops entrenched in northern and southern Shanxi, and western Shanxi is close to the Red Army's base camp of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. It is a dead place no matter how you look at it. However, Yan Xishan has his own reasons for making this choice. It is naturally safer to go to Hebei, but he

Once they leave Shanxi, the dispersed subordinates and local militia groups will soon disperse without a backbone. By then, even if Yan Xishan, who has lost his foundation, can fight back to Shanxi with the help of the Central Army, it will be difficult for him to be a leader again.

The local emperor became emperor. Although western Shanxi was surrounded on all sides, Yan Xishan had been in business for many years and had a lot of food and ammunition stored there. As long as he relied on the terrain and defended with all his heart, the Red Army would not easily eat him up. Although Chiang Kai-shek was dedicated to

He wants to eliminate local warlords, but he doesn't want to see the redization of Shanxi. Therefore, the Central Army will definitely enter Shanxi for rescue as soon as possible. Sooner or later, the Red Army will withdraw from Taiyuan and other big cities. By then, Shanxi will still belong to Yan Xishan. Of course, the prerequisite

It was Yan Xishan who wanted to defend western Shanxi and try his best to gather the Shanxi-Sui Army and local militia groups that had been dispersed by the Red Army. With a sufficient number of troops, the two unreliable guys Chiang Kai-shek and Xue Yue did not dare to add insult to injury...

.....

At this time, the 15th Red Army in southern Shanxi had also begun to turn from defense to attack. In more than ten days, they successively eliminated dozens of strongholds of the Shanxi-Sui Army, killing and wounding more than 2,000 enemy troops. This speed cannot be said to be slow.

However, it would be impossible to completely break through the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line within half a year, and the consumption of ammunition, especially artillery shells, was unbearable by the 15th Red Army. However, when the news of Taiyuan's fall reached southern Shanxi, it was impossible to

Although they were ordinary soldiers of the Jinsui Army, even their chief general Yang Aiyuan had no intention of holding on any longer. Hu Weidong seized this favorable opportunity and launched an unprecedented fierce attack. After several days of fierce fighting, the 15th Red Army ten

Ten thousand elite troops successfully broke through the solid Zhongtiao Mountain defense line and entered the fertile Yuncheng Basin, while 780,000 to 80,000 Shanxi-Sui troops retreated to western Shanxi to join Yan Xishan under Yang Aiyuan's efforts. However, due to battle losses and a

They fled on the road, and by the time the two armies joined forces, Yang Aiyuan's troops had less than 30,000 troops, and this was the result of Hu Weidong letting him go and not beating up the drowned dog...

Hu Weidong did this because he believed that even if the Red Army's strength increased greatly due to its own appearance, it would still be able to seize but not defend big cities such as Taiyuan. In the end, it would have to gain a foothold in the mountainous areas first. With the presence of Yan Xishan, a local emperor, it would be difficult for the Central Army to enter the Jin Dynasty.

Controlling Shanxi, this situation of multiple forces checking and balancing each other is more beneficial to the current Red Army, and it is also conducive to the early formation of the anti-Japanese national united front. In addition, since Taiyuan City will have to be abandoned sooner or later, the factory equipment and financial resources in the city should be transferred as soon as possible.

Cargo supplies were the top priority, and Hu Weidong was naturally unwilling to waste too much time just to capture a few more prisoners.

Although Yan Xishan is definitely not a good person, it is undeniable that his achievements in the process of China's industrialization during the Republic of China were among the best, especially in heavy industry, and the Taiyuan Arsenal was the largest arsenal in the country (with the largest variety of products and the most supporting industries).

The whole country has the lowest dependence on foreign countries.). In addition, the wealth of Shanxi merchants is well-known throughout the country, so it is conceivable that the Red Army’s 15th Army gained a lot after capturing Taiyuan. What makes Hu Weidong secretly happy is that although Shanxi

The industry and mining industry are relatively developed, but they are basically bureaucratic capital, and Shanxi merchants are mainly engaged in lending and pawnshops, which does more harm than good in today's China, and is designated as a landlord economy by the Red Party (those who open pawn shops and banks are classified as

To make a living for landlords, and big landlords...), the Eighth Red Army could confiscate them directly without worrying about violating discipline...
