Chapter 27: Gu Zhutong's misjudgment
Thanks to the book friend Shenmu Fishing Township for rewarding again, and asking for votes and member clicks again, the competition on the newcomer list is too fierce
As early as when he learned that Kang Ze had died, Lao Jiang was already furious, but at this time, the movements of the Central Red Army suddenly became strange and unpredictable, and the national army suffered several small losses in a row, and there was a great tendency to break out of the cage. Gu Zhutong was very concerned about this, especially after the independent division showed the banner of the Red Army, but although this person used the troops steadily, his mind was a little dull, thinking that the independent division was still strong before advancing into western Jiangxi, and seriously underestimated it, especially in terms of troops. As a result, Gu Zhutong, who thought that the independent division did not have many troops, spread out the more than 50,000 troops of the two armies at hand to form an impenetrable network in order to prevent the independent division from wandering around, and asked Lao Jiang for the support of He Jian and Chen Cheng, the former of which was tightly deployed in Hunan to prevent the independent division from flowing into Hunan Province, and the latter ordered Luo Zhuoying, who was on the front line of the "suppression of bandits" in southeastern Jiangxi, to transfer a second-line division to Yongxin County to prevent the independent division from ordering the resurgence of the "banditry" that had already been quelled in the locality.
However, Gu Zhutong's "Heaven and Earth Net" was too scattered, and Hu Weidong easily ate two regiments in a row because the troops were too scattered, and he also trained the 20,000 recruits in the team by the way. In order to avoid any more troops being encircled and annihilated, he asked the front line to shrink its forces as much as possible while tightening the deployment of troops to reinforce the front line, so as not to let the enemy have a chance to take advantage of it, but Hu Weidong had no intention of entanglement with him, and when he saw that the enemy's defense line was shrinking, he immediately ordered the whole army to return to the east quickly, and when Gu Zhutong reacted, the main force of the independent division had calmly crossed the Ganjiang River and returned to Xingguo County, where the troops were raised, and swept away a large number of goods and materials and knowledge of young (young) years, except that there was no burning **, the means were relatively mild, and the behavior was like a rogue in history
But this practice did cause a lot of trouble to Gu Zhutong, just cleaning up the mess and restoring order in those six or seven counties had already made him anxious, where was the spare strength to deal with the independent division? Deeply disappointed with Gu Zhutong, Lao Jiang couldn't help but think of changing generals, and soon he ordered Liu Zhi, the head of the "Five Tiger Generals" (Note 1), to replace Gu Zhutong as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, and took full responsibility for the important task of "suppressing bandits" in Jiangxi.
And since Hu Weidong began to collect knowledge in Pingxiang for a large number of young (young) years, he has not let go of every county he has visited, and even after returning to Xingguo, he has unceremoniously eaten "wobian grass". Poor Xingguo teenagers are already seriously insufficient, and they have been pulled away seventy or eighty percent all of a sudden (the result of too much popularization of education), making them already "old and young." Fortunately, Hu Weidong took into account the local difficulties, and demobilized those guys who obviously did not meet his requirements in terms of intelligence (not everyone who is educated), personality, character, physique and will quality were demobilized on the spot in Xingguo and other central Soviet districts and counties (this is not thinking about the local area at all, it is completely losing the burden), at least the difficulties of marriageable young women in each county to find a partner have been slightly alleviated
But in any case, Hu Weidong's final recruitment of "educated youth" (this historical term appeared in advance because of him) still has a significant decline compared with the beginning, according to later statistics, non-Soviet counties have not been "transformed" by Kangze, generally only 1%-2% of the total population, Soviet counties and Kangze carried out "social transformation" is much higher, most of them are more than 4%, and Xingguo County is incomparable, reaching an astonishing 12%, "model county" deserves to be called "model county". With a population of less than 100,000, Hu Weidong actually singled out more than 10,000 "educated youths" (in fact, it should be said that "knowing less" is right, in the current Xingguo County, young people in the age group of 18-25 are almost invisible)...,
As a result of Hu Weidong's crossing, Xingguo County was not only called "General County" in the future, but also became a well-known "Scientist County" and "Engineer County" throughout the country, but Hu Weidong was given an indecent nickname -- "human trafficker" by the people in the Soviet area who were deeply resentful
In fact, Hu Weidong can't do anything like this, he knows very well that there was a lack of talents during the Republic of China, for the future of China, every young person with a cultural foundation must be well trained, if they are allowed to stay in their hometown, which is now in war and blockade, to fend for themselves, even if they can survive, due to the lack of learning and growth environment, it will not take a few years, they will forget what they have learned, it would be a pity. Of course, Hu Weidong also has a little "selfishness", the arsenal needs to be expanded, and there is a serious shortage of qualified officers, which requires a large number of talents, and the cultivation of educated teenagers is certainly much faster than that of illiterates
With so many students, it was natural to have to educate well, and although the conditions were harsh, Hu Weidong soon built three schools that did not even have a fixed school building, but affected the fate of China and Shijie: the Tactical College (which later became the most important college of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. ), the artillery school (after its establishment, the scope of teaching continued to expand, and later changed its name to the "jishu military college", which trained tens of thousands of jishu soldiers, which greatly made up for the shortcomings of the people's army in this regard. and technical school (Originally, Hu Weidong just wanted to train some skilled workers, but many experts and even Shijie-level masters emerged among the students, and this school also became the predecessor of the later "National University of Defense Technology". )。 On the one hand, he fully excavated the surplus value of the talents in the army and the veterans in the army, and for those good seedlings, he would also take time out as much as possible to open a small stove himself, with Hu Weidong's knowledge and vision beyond the times, in the thirties of the twentieth century, which is now backward in science and technology, at least in artillery, He can be regarded as a Shijie-level expert in the two major majors of ammunition science and more than a dozen related disciplines, although his knowledge and talents are not all available due to the large span of time
Note 1: The so-called "Five Tiger Generals" refers to the five second-level generals of the Central Army under Lao Jiang and He Yingqin before the Anti-Japanese War, namely Liu Zhi, Gu Zhutong, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, and Wei Lihuang. But among the five people, only Wei Lihuang can really be regarded as a famous general, Chen Cheng is good at training troops but not good at commanding, Liu Zhi and Gu Zhutong have great weaknesses, and Jiang Dingwen is even less worth mentioning. But before the Achilles heel was exposed during the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Zhi was the most popular among the five, and he did not taste defeat in the civil war for more than ten years (the War of Resistance was completely reversed after losing a game, and since then he has not tasted a victory in either the Japanese or the People's Liberation Army), if he died before the Anti-Japanese War, the evaluation of later generations may be completely different
