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

When Fang Yongle returned with the Mountain Division, the strength of the 28th Red Army reached more than 80,000, and the quality of the soldiers was further improved. At the same time, because the three current leaders of the 28th Red Army were all together in the

Those who had fought hard in the Dabie Mountains cooperated more tacitly than when Zhang Dingcheng, an outsider, was there. Even though Lao Chiang Kai-shek sent an unprecedented five to six million troops to invade the Dabie Mountains, the "threesome" of the 28th Red Army still failed.

Return...

Hu Weidong did this not only to strengthen the Dabie Mountain base area and make it a solid barrier to the south of the Soviet Area in Western Henan, but also to balance the strength of the two armies within the Eighth Red Army. The Fifteenth Red Army was the army that Hu Weidong started, regardless of military strength.

The combat effectiveness is still much stronger than Gao Jingting's 28th Red Army. In terms of head-to-head strength, the original 28th Red Army is not even as good as any of the three main divisions of the 15th Red Army. Such an extremely unbalanced situation

If it continues for a long time, it is not a good thing. Now that Fang Yongle has brought 30,000 elite troops, the 28th Red Army, which has 3 divisions, has half the strength of the 15th Red Army. Considering Gao Jingting's terrifying pull,

In terms of team skills, the Red Eighth Army should gradually become more balanced?

In fact, due to its short history, the Shantou faction within the Eighth Red Army is not very obvious now. On the contrary, the Eighth Red Army as a whole is more obvious to the outside world. After capturing Taiyuan, Hu Weidong called the Central Committee and asked the front army to go south.

Many cadres were not happy with the rendezvous. They felt that Taiyuan was conquered through hard work. On the one hand, the army had no contribution, so why should they have a share of the pie? It was from this that Hu Weidong noticed for the first time.

The army began to take a series of measures to suppress and resolve the signs of mountain-headism. But having said that, Hu Weidong has never been a person who likes to suffer losses. When the main force of the Red Army moved south into Taiyuan, the machines in the city were confiscated by Hu Weidong.

None of the equipment was gone, and even some unused ones were ordered to be broken down into spare parts for spare parts. He also did not want to hand over the massive wealth seized to the central government, because he felt that he knew the future history, especially the direction of technological development.

Better to use than central...

On May 4, 1936, Taizu personally led the main force of more than 50,000 people of the First Front Army to go south to Taiyuan to join more than 120,000 people of the 15th Red Army (the Mountain Division had already gone south to the Dabie Mountains). The Eighth Red Army Corps Commander Hu Weidong and the Army Political Commissar Mao Zetan

Su Yu, deputy commander of the corps and commander of the 15th Red Army, went out of the city to wait for the arrival of the leaders...

"Are you Comrade Hu Weidong?" Although Taizu had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that Hu Weidong was so young.

"Report to the Chairman, I am already twenty-two years old, but my face is tender..." Hu Weidong defended as always. Fortunately, probably due to his early development, he has basically stopped growing taller now, so this lie

It's not that he was cheating, but he also deeply realized the difficulty of telling a lie, and since then he has become more cautious in his words and deeds.

Because Hu Weidong's temperament is very mature and thick, and his height of over 1.8 meters is considered tall among Chinese people who are generally malnourished today, even Taizu's wisdom could not see the problem, but even if Hu Weidong is 22 years old, he is

The contributions made over the past year are still amazing.

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, I learned that the Eighth Red Army now has 250,000 regular Red Army troops, more than 100,000 standard rifles, more than 12,000 submachine guns, more than 2,000 light and heavy machine guns, more than 1,000 mortars and 300

After many cannons were fired, the central leaders still expressed surprise. Taizu, who was always optimistic, even smiled and praised, "Even I didn't expect that the Red Army, which was almost in despair a year ago, has now developed."

There are 400,000 people, and the equipment is so good. Comrade Hu Weidong, the party and the people will never forget the great contributions you have made for the revolution! By the way, don't be stingy, tell everyone what experience you have.

"….

"Wherever, Comrade Su Yu is relied on to command the war, and Comrade Mao Zetan is relied on for political work. I am just doing the logistics for everyone. And without the old Red Army and party members recruited along the way as the backbone, the Eighth Army would also

It will never develop to the scale it is today. In addition, we have always had good luck. Several gambles that may have led to the annihilation of the army were successful in the end, but luck cannot always favor us, and now our family has a big business.

, we can no longer always 'get riches and wealth in danger' like before..." Hu Weidong said truthfully, "If we talk about experience, it is probably that I only focus on what I am good at and ignore what I am not good at.

Leave things to those who are good at it..."

Hu Weidong's words caused Taizu to think deeply. The Red Party's employment ideas have always been deeply influenced by the Soviet Union. Party members and cadres are regarded as the screws of the revolution and placed wherever they are needed. Loyalty, reliability, and hard work are the first priority. Ability and ability are the first priority.

Expertise has always been put second. This method of employment is sometimes very advantageous, but for some industries and positions with strong professionalism, it is not necessarily true that you can do well just by being loyal to the party. Taizu

Although he is a communist, he is also deeply influenced by traditional Chinese thought (not just Confucianism). Now that Hu Weidong is so focused on it, he has "emphasis on talent according to his ability" in his heart. In troubled times, the concept of "approval based on his ability" is even more important.

Gradually gaining the upper hand, this had a profound impact on his subsequent employment policies...

Hu Weidong, who did not want to be in too much limelight, once again spoke highly of Su Yu in the subsequent conversation. Although Taizu had already been impressed by Su Yu, he was still somewhat surprised after hearing Hu Weidong's high praise, and quickly changed his mind.

Chatting with Su Yu. Hu Weidong did not forget to praise Mao Zetan, and also expressed his goodwill to the political work system, "In fact, Comrade Mao Zetan contributed a lot to the Red Eighth Army's current size. Without the outstanding work of political cadres like them, the Red Army

It would be impossible for the Eighth Army to grow rapidly like a snowball. Without political workers to unify their thinking, mobilize the masses and transform a large number of prisoners of war into our liberation fighters, the Red Army would not be able to fight more and more. Compared with military command, political work is not

It is not very conspicuous, but the contribution of political workers cannot be ignored in any case..."

Hu Weidong's words made all the political cadres present feel good about him, and Taizu turned his attention to his younger brother Mao Zetan for the first time, but he only lightly patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job."

.But just this simple compliment made Mao Zetan almost unable to hold back tears. This shows how difficult it has been for him to get a compliment from his elder brother since he was a child...
