Chapter 5 Model Counties
As soon as Hu Weidong said this, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and suddenly understood, "I have forgotten about the blockade, salt is also one of the embargoed materials, it seems that this point in "Shining Red Star" is very realistic"
"Auntie, isn't there some salt in the seizure? weishenme didn't add it? Hu Weidong asked Liu Hai's wife.
"The days to come will be long, and we have to save some salt to eat." , Liu Hai's wife's words were unanimously approved by everyone, but Hu Weidong disagreed, "Add it, how can you have the strength to train and fight without salt?" Our strength has come up, naturally we can seize more salt, only by developing rapidly and breaking the enemy's blockade line as soon as possible, everyone will have a good life! Now they are only concerned about saving, but as a result, everyone has no strength to fight, and can only watch the enemy do whatever he wants, and everyone has been living a hard life and cannot turn over"
"The commissioner has seen the world, we listen to you, old woman, add salt to it, and everyone has also passed the foreign meat." , Liu Hai took out the style of the head of the family, but his wife was still willing to carefully add a small half spoon to the pot, which made Hu Weidong sigh with emotion, it seems that Lao Jiang's blockade policy may be more harmful to the people in the base area than to kill by force
In the evening, Hu Weidong wanted to open a night school so that the young people in the village, especially the militia, could learn some cultural knowledge, but he was surprised to find that everyone could read some words, but he was despised because he did not know how to write traditional Chinese characters, and could only prevaricate that he only learned to write Chinese characters after returning to China, so many times he had to use homophones instead, and everyone expressed their understanding for this.
According to Liu Hai, the literacy rate of several villages in Changgang Township is higher, and the young people in the age group of 12-18 have basically reached 100 percent, and their literacy rate here is already on the low side. However, in the most prosperous years of the Soviet region of Jiangxi, with the exception of the marginal counties and guerrilla areas, the school enrollment rate of young people in the Soviet area was quite high, which was not achieved by the pilot areas in the Kuomintang region that had received foreign funding. In this matter, Xu Teli, the "people's educator" who is still on the way to the Long March, has made great contributions
In any case, it must have been a good thing that most of the young people in the village were literate, and Hu Weidong was expecting more and more from them, and even taught them a foreign language at an early age (Note 1) in preparation for the future war of resistance. What is even more gratifying is that Liu Hai also told Hu Weidong a secret, it turned out that when the Red Army left, most of the equipment of the arsenal and a "heavy artillery" could not be taken away, and the upper part was to be blown up by the arsenal, but the whole arsenal was reluctant to do anything, and in addition, they did not want to waste the limited explosives, so they secretly buried the more valuable part of it, and told Liu Hai, the old man who had left, so that they could use it after the Red Army returned to the Soviet area in the future.
Although Hu Weidong considered that there is a shortage of manpower now, and is not in a hurry to get those treasures out, but in any case, after knowing this, Hu Weidong began to secretly pay attention to the militia, in order to find out some military talents worthy of training, as a top military industry expert, he knows very well that although the people's army in history mainly relied on the way of seizure to obtain weapons and ammunition, but the Red Party's military industrial system is also absolutely indispensable, and with its own development and growth and the continuous development of the revolutionary situation, its contribution is getting bigger and bigger. A major battle with more than one million troops on both sides, such as the Three Great Battles, could not be fought without the support of ammunition produced by the arsenal, relying on capture alone
The next day, Hu Weidong led some militiamen out of the village to get in touch with several other villages in the township, and after discovering that only two of the villages had been destroyed by the white bandits, everyone was somewhat relieved, and in the face of the cruel reality, all the villages agreed to join the joint defense system advocated by Hu Weidong, and the youngsters enthusiastically signed up for the militia. This made Hu Weidong quite emotional, "A model county is a model county, and you don't have to wait until the knife is on your neck to know how to resist (even some people will not resist when your knife is on your neck), but I still need to take the lead first." As long as the Chinese have someone to take the lead, they are more courageous and fearless than any ethnic group on Shijie, but once no one takes the lead, the Chinese will immediately become the 'lamb' in the eyes of foreigners, no wonder they have been promoting the 'sense of ownership'" in those years"...,
Considering that the enemy may have hit Liujia Village just when the main force of the militia team came out, Hu Weidong made corresponding arrangements before leaving the village, that is, preparing three message trees, and if the number of enemies is less than 50, one will be brought down, Hu Weidong will immediately return to the village to rescue when he sees it, and the second one will be brought down when the enemy has approached the village, and the militia must speed up and march back to the village in a hurry, and if the three message trees are all put down, it means that the enemy is numerous or well-armed, and the villagers will dig into the ravine to avoid by themselves. The militia team should not go back to the village to die, but send people to find out the situation before deciding what to do next
It is precisely because of this simple and convenient way of long-distance communication that Hu Weidong and his family dared to go all the way out, walking dozens of miles away, only to find a village that had been attacked, this time everyone was a step late, the village had been completely destroyed, and the villagers who were dead could be seen, hundreds of women and children were strung into dozens of meters long by the group like cattle, probably ready to be taken to other places to be sold, and there were probably no survivors in the village. Seeing this tragic scene, the militiamen were all filled with righteous indignation, but Hu Weidong immediately signaled everyone to calm down, so as not to be seen by the enemy. The strength of this repatriation regiment is much stronger than the last one, not only is there forty or fifty people, but there are also two light machine guns, and if it is forced, even if the number of militia increases tenfold, it may not be the opponent of others.
Note 1: In Japanese, everyone has to say "surrender the gun and don't kill" to make it easier to capture prisoners in the future, as for a higher level, as long as he is willing to learn, Hu Weidong is willing to teach, and if he does not want to learn, he does not force it, after all, foreign languages are important, and everyone does not need to be a translator. In addition to Japanese, Hu Weidong also taught English and Russian, and because he was too busy alone, he had to let the militiamen who had learned half a bucket of water learn from each other, and this learning method, especially when teachers were scarce, also sprouted and matured in long-term practice, making outstanding contributions to China's industrialization and modernization.
