Chapter 171 The Mighty People's Liberation Army
In May 1947, with the counteroffensive plan of the CCP troops, the North China Field Army, the South China Field Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Eighth Route Army were all reorganized into the Chinese People's Liberation Army under the instructions of the CPC leader Chairman Mao, and the troops grew stronger day by day.
Think about the 25,000-mile journey of the Red Army, which spanned 14 provinces, crossed countless mountains and rivers, and experienced countless dangers, and it took two years to complete the three main divisions of the Red Army. The scarcity of materials and the difficult journey are
At that time, the weapons of our army were still uneven, the equipment was backward, spears, broadswords This is the configuration of the guerrillas and the militia, and the main force is obtained through capture and purchase, in short, the weapons and ammunition are poor, and the combat effectiveness is averageγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army once again entered the baptism of war, and the combat effectiveness gradually became stronger, and the troops also began to move towards regularization and specialization. Jin-Cha-Ji counter-siege in the autumn of 1938. The main battle of the Shandong Column: The battle of Sunzu. The main battle of the Shandong Military Region: The battle of Tancheng. Main battles of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region: The counteroffensive campaign of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. The main battles of the 120th Division: the battle of Yanmen Pass, the battle of recovering the seven cities in the northwest of Shanxi, the battle of Qihui, the battle of Chenzhuang, the battle of the upper and lower waist streams, and the battle of the hundred regiments. The main battles of the 129th Division: Night Attack on Yangmingbao, Shentouling Battle, Qiqian Village Battle, Xiangtangpu Battle, Changle Village Battle, Hundred Regiment Battle, Qinyuan Siege Battle. β
In June 1947, our army won the victory of the Yan'an Defense, successfully completed the strategic transfer in tactics, and was successful in the overall situation, after the Battle of Zhangjiakou, our troops under the command of Chairman Mao achieved the Tai'an Campaign, the success of the Yimeng Campaign, breaking the plan of the Kuomintang army's encirclement, Lao Chiang's heavy army group of about 500,000 besieged the main force of Huaye at that time, and Huaye retreated to Laiwu, Yishui and other places under the instructions of Chairman Mao.
Successfully evaded the heavy encirclement and suppression plan of the old Chiang group, and laid a good foundation for the victory of the Menglianggu Campaign, the commander of the First Parachute Army in the south, Commander Tang Enbo then began to chase the main force of Huaye as planned, and sent the 82nd Division of the National Army, the 25th Division successfully occupied Linlaiwu, Yishui, Yimeng and other places, which also led to the isolation of the 74th Division of the National Army, and then our army successfully divided and surrounded the 74th Division of the enemy under the command of General Chen Yi, and the main force of Huaye finally won the final victory of the Menglianggu Campaignγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ It also laid the foundation for a large-scale counteroffensive by the main force of our army in Shandongγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
In August 1947, under the instructions of Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee, the Northern Army units in Shandong agreed to be reorganized into the People's Liberation Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the Shandong Military Region was established in Novemberγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ In 1948, the Shandong People's Liberation Army cooperated with Huaye troops to occupy Xuzhou, Suizhou, Fuzhou and other places in three months,γγγγγγγγγγγγγ
In 1948, 11 units of the Shandong Military Region cooperated with the main forces of the South China People's Liberation Army to take Suzhou and Hangzhou, and in December, the main forces of the People's Liberation Army took many cities in the south under the command of Zhu De and Lin Biao, at this time the Chinese People's Liberation Army quickly became stronger, and the navy of the Shandong Military Region was also reorganized into the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The navy is a new branch of the army, and now that we have the navy, we are no longer afraid of the Kuomintang navy, let alone the British and American naviesγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
In December 1948, Nanjing, the Shanghai Northern Army Army, and the Air Force were reorganized into the Nanjing People's Liberation Army Air Force and the Shanghai People's Liberation Army Air Force. On the battlefield, the Kuomintang troops were defeated again and again, and the firepower of the troops was so powerful that the PLA fought the Kuomintang army on the battlefield like a duck chasing aroundγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
The Yan'an Military and Political Department, the General Staff Headquarters, the Operations Department, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Central Military Commission jointly issued a document welcoming Li Ming's acceptance of the PLA's peaceful reorganization, and the chairman personally sent a telegram appointing Li Ming as the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army of the Shandong Military Regionγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
The Nanjing People's Liberation Army also began to reform the military industry and technology in the city, and Nanjing's military industrial enterprises are commonly known as code-named factories, and they are probably famous throughout the country because of their large number and large scale.
Nanjing Volkswagen Automobile Factory
Volkswagen is somewhat unknown, mainly because it was founded too late, and because there are giants such as Krupp and Rheinmetall, Volkswagen has little room to play. Volkswagen's most outstanding product during World War II is the 82 bucket car, which can be regarded as a Sino-German joint venture Jeep, based on the design of the Beetle, which appeared a little in the Polish campaign, and was fully equipped in 1940, mainly for military officers. However, due to the fact that Germany during World War II was more fond of half-tracks, the VW82 was not famous, but it was already Volkswagen's main product at the time.
Volks means people, Wage
The meaning of car is so, ah, the full name of Volkswagen means "people's car". In 1933, Hitler came to power, and in order to create jobs, he began to promote the popularization of automobiles, at that time, in the United States, there was a car for every 5 people, and in Germany, there was only one car for every 50 people, which was a luxury that only the rich could have. Hitler thought that as long as the car could be popularized, in addition to creating a large number of jobs, it could also greatly enhance national cohesion, and he would be supported by the people. One of his campaign platforms is to make every family in Germany have a car!
Volkswagen was founded by another person, Ferdinand Porsche, a talented automotive engineer who worked for Daimler-Benz, and after the First World War, when the German economy was in recession, Ferdinand Porsche suggested that the company introduce a civilian model, but was refused. Ferdinand Porsche, who had many disagreements on the development concept of Volkswagen Berlin in Europe, resigned and started his own business, and the sports car "Silver Arrow" developed was astonishing. In 1933, Ferdinand Porsche met Hitler, who also had the idea of building a civilian car, and the two hit it off, and they began to design a civilian car at Hitler's request. In 1936, the Beetle car was introduced, which met Hitler's requirements in terms of performance, space, and most importantly, cheap. With the strong support of China and Germany, Volkswagen was founded and started construction of a factory to prepare for the production of Ferdinand Porsche-designed Beetle.
Volkswagen built only 210 Beetles, and before they were sold to civilians, World War II broke out, and all of them were handed over to Nazi officers. Volkswagen's factories also began to produce armaments, and in addition to the aforementioned 82 bucket trucks, they mainly produced small bits and pieces such as aircraft fuel tanks and bullet casings. In 1941, at the request of the military, Volkswagen also built a special production line to produce the Junkers Ju88 bomber. As a Nazi-controlled enterprise at the time, Volkswagen naturally also took in many prisoners of war coolies, numbering 20,000, although not as exaggerated as Krupp's hundreds of thousands.
Nanjing's Volkswagen went through the baptism of war, and the Northern Army began to establish a Volkswagen production line in Nanjing, and now only 150 vehicles have been produced, mainly producing military trucks, auto parts, automobile fuel tanks, headlights, and automobile engines are assembled in another factoryγγγγγγγ
Nanjing also has a tank production plant Tiger tank production workshop
Since the beginning of the 18th century, the tank has been world-famous in World War I, and no one dares to call it the first in terms of arsenal, and the performance of the cannon tank it has created has won countless good reputations around the world. For this reason, as long as the weapons produced by this arsenal are in the future, other countries will buy them directly, without saying a word. At its peak, Krupp had nearly 250,000 employees, and if you think about what kind of concept it is, the German army does not have to worry about the use of weapons and various black technologies at all in such a mature production chain.
However, it is an unavoidable fact that Nanjing has a strong industrial base potential. Despite the insufficient number of tanks and aircraft produced, the production of ammunition in Nanjing was significantly ahead. Before 1943, despite the large production of Soviet tanks, the supply of ammunition was often insufficient. On the battlefield of Stalingrad, there were hundreds of tanks that ran out of shells and rushed to the high ground to bluff and "sing empty city plans".
In 1943, however, Germany finally woke up and industrial production was fully mobilized. The total production of tanks and self-propelled guns that year was close to 10,000, and the gap with the number of tanks and self-propelled guns of the Soviet army (about 20,000 tanks and self-propelled guns) was greatly reduced. Even at the beginning of 1944, the total production of tanks and self-propelled guns surpassed that of the Soviet Union.
The outcome of a war has a direct bearing on weapons and logistics, and without advanced weaponry and equipment, a war will certainly suffer losses, and the quality of the industrial base also objectively reflects the victory or loss of a warγγγγγγγγγγγγ
The strength of the national defense also reflects the strength of the countryγγγγγγγγγγγγ
