Chapter 63: Failed Encirclement and Suppression
Thank you for the reward of the book friend Qianjiang Moon Shadow, the following is today's second update ^_^
At this time, Hu Weidong suddenly bowed deeply to the audience and said seriously, "Here I want to say to everyone for my previous rudeness, but I don't regret feeling guilty, and I will never be." Because without the participation of outstanding talents like you, it would be difficult for our industrialization to start, and without empirical evidence, even if we talk about it, few people will believe it, so we have to wronged you, and I hope you will forgive me."
The audience was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into deafening applause, and Shu Xingbei, an electrical expert who had been frowning at Hu Weidong before, took the initiative to come to the front desk and bowed to Hu Weidong and said, "(For the country) it is easy for the victims to die, and it is difficult for those who have been wronged, please forgive me for my previous rudeness."
"What's the use of daoqian?" , Hu Weidong deliberately put his face on the face and said, "With this kind of work, it is better to put those items (radar, walkie-talkie, airborne radio and radio proximity fuse) as soon as possible. If it's successful, I'll be willing to shine your shoes every day. ”
Everyone in the audience knew that Hu Weidong was joking, and they immediately laughed, but Shu Xingbei replied seriously, "Don't worry, even if I live ten or twenty years less, I will get them out!" ”
Hu Weidong saw that the laughter gradually stopped, and then continued to speak, "Although our industrial construction has made certain achievements, but compared with the advanced countries on Shijie, we are still far behind, if we can't fight bravely, we will be pulled farther away by the powers, for this we need more scientific and technological talents here, so please also write to your teachers, classmates and disciples, and ask them to come here and work hard for China's industrialization!" We Chinese are the most industrious and intelligent people in Shijie, as long as we work hard in the right direction and generation by generation, one day in the future, we can build what foreigners can make, and what they can't build, we can also build! ”
The audience once again erupted in warm applause, and later these experts wrote letters one after another, recruiting a large number of outstanding talents for the industrialization of the Soviet area. Hu Weidong is no longer as domineering as before, after all, now that the empirical evidence has been obtained, people with lofty ideals who are really willing to devote themselves to China's industrialization will naturally flock to them as long as they learn the news, and those who are not on this will not force him (the urgently needed in the industrial zone, and those shijie-level experts are another matter, Hu Weidong has never been a person who does not know how to be flexible). After all, the twisted melon is not sweet.
After arriving in Gongxian County, Hu Weidong was finally able to arrange suitable scientific research projects for most of the experts, such as the four major scientific research projects of Shu Xingbei, the ballistic computer and automatic decoder cooperated by Su Buqing and Chen Jiangong (the electronic computer cannot be done for the time being, and the terrifying electricity consumption of the tube computer alone cannot be satisfied by the current Soviet area, so it can only be developed with a mechanical computer first. ), Wang Guosong's generator and motor project, Li Shouheng's penicillin separation and purification project, Pei Shizhang's penicillium strain ultraviolet mutagenesis and optimization topics, etc., in addition, Hu Weidong also asked psychologist Huang Yi to teach psychology to political workers and propagandists.
After coming to Henan, the most unpopular province of the Kuomintang regime, what she saw and heard along the way gave Wu Chien-shiung, a girl who has been living in an ivory tower, a great shock, and she finally realized that what she admired the most Mr. Hu Shi said was not all correct, but Hu Weidong's words unconsciously got her approval, "Freedom is very precious, but there is never absolute freedom on shijie, Mr. Hu said that the Kuomintang was freer than our Soviet districts, because he only took into account the rich, and if these poor people who did not have enough to eat but had to endure heavy taxes were also included, the situation would be completely reversed, and under the rule of Chairman Chiang, these Chinese living at the bottom of society only had the freedom to flee famine and starve to death"...,
Hu Weidong could rely on the surprise attack of the special operations brigade to occupy the Gongxian Arsenal, but it was impossible for him to rely on such a small number of people to defend it, but fortunately, the large army quickly cleared all the obstacles along the way and rushed to Gongxian to rendezvous, and under the command of Su Yu, he successively captured several counties and further expanded the Soviet area. Although Lao Jiang was shocked when he learned that Gongxian had fallen, he had no way to take the Red 15th Army for a while, because the Dabie Mountain base area was in the middle, and if this nail was not pulled out first, the large army of the national army entering western Henan would be in danger of being cut off from the supply line. In addition, the Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Anhui Soviet regions with tens of thousands of troops occupy a considerable part of Jiangxi's tungsten mineral area, making it difficult for the government to fulfill the agreement to supply sufficient amount of net tungsten sand to Germany, and the Soviet area is too close to the core ruling area of Lao Chiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and it is the birthplace of the former Zhu Mao Red Army, the strategic significance is very important, and Lao Chiang attaches more importance to it, so although the Gongxian Arsenal is also very important, it can only be slowed down for the time being, anyway, the weapons and ammunition of the Central Army mainly rely on external purchases, And Lao Jiang has three other large arsenals in his hands.
At the beginning of September 1935, Lao Jiang personally went to Nanchang to sit in the town, mobilized 400,000 troops to encircle and suppress Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Anhui Soviet District, with Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army, responsible for the main attack, Chen Cheng as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, Wei Lihuang as the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, the main task is to prevent the Red Army from breaking through the blockade line and jumping to the outside line to attack large and medium-sized cities on the southeast coast
At about the same time, He Yingqin also received an order to attack, but although he had more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, his subordinates only had Gu Zhutong, a second-rate general who was not enterprising and conservative, and He Yingqin's own level was even worse
In terms of military talent, Ye Fei, who stayed in the Jiangnan Soviet District, is still very set, but compared with Xue Yue, the first-class handsome talent in China, there is still a clear gap, and the strength of the army is several times worse, although the weapons and equipment have the help of the arsenal, there is no advantage, and at first glance, the Red Army has no chance of winning at all. However, the Red Army fought on the inside line, and it was very united internally, unlike the various departments of the Nationalist Army, which often did not rescue each other because of selfishness, and in addition, the old Jiang of the Nationalist Army, who was sitting in Nanchang, made the old mistake of overstepping the command of the Nationalist Army, and frequently crossed Xue Yue to give orders to the generals at the army, division, and even regimental levels, which made Xue Yue have a hard time, while Hu Weidong had to be much more self-aware, he understood that the old Soviet area was too far away from him, and it was very difficult to control it remotely, under the direct command of the central government, Taizu is not only a genius military strategist that he has not met for hundreds of years, but also dares to delegate power and will delegate power, which is in stark contrast to Lao Jiang, who is unwilling to delegate power and will not delegate power. It took several months, tens of thousands of casualties and thousands of tons of ammunition, but only captured a few marginal counties in the Jiangnan Soviet region, and was still a cut away from the predetermined goal
