For the current abundant number of artillery of the Red Fifteenth Army, Hu Weidong is much more generous, because the range is too close and has always been regarded by him as chicken ribs 18 Meiji 38-year 150mm field howitzers (he left 24 Taisho four-year 150mm field howitzers) and a total of no less than 100 old 75mm mountain artillery field guns were stuffed by him to the First Army, and as long as they can carry as many shells as they can give them, anyway, the Red 15th Army is backed by the Gongxian Arsenal, which is now the first in China. Even if the captured shells run out, they can produce them themselves, and life is much better than for the Red 1st Army, which uses one less round

Although for the Red 15th Army, it was equivalent to eliminating some old-fashioned equipment, but for the Red 1st Army, which had not even been equipped with rifles because of the rapid expansion in the past six months, this assistance was undoubtedly a relief in the snow. But in addition to thanking him again and again, for Mr. Lin, who has always liked heavy artillery, has always watched those 150mm heavy cannons and 240mm heavy howitzers not move away, Hu Weidong naturally quickly understood his thoughts, considering that the Red First Army will have the need to attack fortifications sooner or later in the future, he simply did it to the end, and gave the First Army 2 240mm heavy howitzers and 6 old 150mm heavy cannons. However, when Hu Weidong saw that the commanders and fighters of the First Regiment really came up with a way to pull these eight heavy guns of several tens of tons into the mountains without a special tractor towing them, he was still a little painful in his heart

Although Hu Weidong said that the shells could be moved casually, even if Mr. Lin no longer understands the world, his face is not so thick. In the end, the 1st Army only removed more than 30,000 shells, mainly small-caliber shells, and only about 3,000 rounds of 150mm and 240mm caliber shells were removed. However, even so, the strength of the 1st Red Army and even the entire First Army was greatly enhanced, and in addition to the huge losses suffered by the 15th Red Army in this battle. Although the Red Eighth Army was still the most powerful, it was no longer as strong as all the other Red Army units combined, and this was what Hu Weidong wanted to see, after all, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." As long as the Chinese understand

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Lin also proposed that the two legions join forces to take Pingjin. The reason is that Lao Chiang is currently stumped by the rebellion between the two Guangzhous, but Hu Weidong expressed his resolute opposition, citing the example of the former Central Plains War, believing that Lao Chiang will settle the two Guangxi within 1-3 months. "Although Chairman Chiang in Nanjing is not good at fighting, his old routine of sealing officials and stuffing money against warlord troops is invincible."

In addition, if the 29th Army, whose image as a hero of the Anti-Japanese War was still not shattered, was to turn against the Red Army politically just for the sake of grabbing territory, it would also be politically disadvantageous to the Red Army. Besides, this time the Red Army beat the devils so painfully, it is difficult to guarantee that the Japanese will not be ashamed and angry and increase their troops to enter the customs, and even start a full-scale invasion of China ahead of schedule, if the Red Army has just finished fighting with the 29th Army and the devils have come in, things will be very difficult to do. What's more, the Red 15th Army is now full of wounded soldiers and tired and sick. If you continue to fight endlessly, it will collapse sooner or later, so it is better to withdraw to Yuxi as soon as possible to repair for a few months and recover your vitality. At this time, the central government also sent new instructions. The two armies were also required to return to their respective base areas as soon as possible after the war, and not to be reluctant to leave the city after entering the city. At this time, Mr. Lin had to rest his mind about entering the big city. But he still used the short half month before the evacuation to expand the number of more than 10,000 people in Pingxi and central Hebei, which made Hu Weidong sigh, "If it weren't for the number of recruits, the population of the base area would be limited after all, just looking at such a terrifying speed of army expansion, even if you play crowd tactics, you can drown the devils."

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the instructions sent by the central authorities, the great man also criticized the two major mistakes of the Red 15 th Army in dispersing troops in this campaign and Hu Weidong, the commander of the corps, personally going down to the front line to command, and specifically pointed out that Hu Weidong is now a general who is in charge of his own affairs, and he must no longer always hope that one or two successful military adventures will bring about a victory as before. Hu Weidong was not a stubborn person, and soon realized the good intentions of the great man, "The thicker the capital, the more cautious we must be, when the troops were small and the equipment was poor, even if the whole army was wiped out, it would not have much impact on the entire revolutionary cause, but now it is different"...,

However, criticism is criticism, and the great man still affirmed and praised the great military exploits established by the Red 15 th Army in all the campaigns after it advanced into North China, and this time it was not just a few words of praise, the Central Committee also decided to add Hu Weidong as a member of the "Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee" (the threshold was lower than that of the previous Central Revolutionary Military Commission and the subsequent Central Military Commission), which was absolutely unprecedented trust for him, a young man who had joined the party for less than two years and even had doubts about his origins

Compared with when the Red 15 th Army first entered North China, the current Red 15 th Army has changed its guns and artillery, and this is of course due to good luck, but also due to the bloody struggle of the vast number of commanders and fighters. In this short period of two months, the Red 15th Army (including the troops directly under the corps headquarters) sacrificed more than 20,000 people, plus the number of permanent attrition due to injuries and disability due to illness and more than 30,000, and most of them were veterans of a hundred battles. Compared with before the start of the North China War, the number of veterans in the Red 15th Army was sharply reduced to less than half, and the casualties among grassroots officers and political workers were even greater. After a series of successive victories, the strength of the Red 15th Army weakened, if it was a little unlucky and suffered several defeats? Thinking about the fact that the Japanese army could easily expand to more than one million troops even on the premise of not reducing the quality of officers and men, Hu Weidong had to admit that the great man's "people's war" thinking was far-sighted, and even if he had his own golden finger as a traverser, the existing squadron alone would be far from enough to defeat Japan and regain lost territory

However, it is worth mentioning that although the process and results of the First Battle of the Red 15th Army in North China were not very satisfactory to both the Party Central Committee and Hu Weidong and other leaders of the Red Eighth Army, ordinary Chinese people did not understand so much, they only saw that Hu Weidong led his troops to completely annihilate a permanent division of the devils, so that Hu Weidong's aura of "national hero" became more and more shining, and the domestic anti-Japanese salvation movement was also in full swing (your support is my biggest motivation. )
