Chapter 287: Expanding production capacity

Madam, can we open a technical school specifically for the training of these skilled workers?

Whether it is a fertilizer factory or a bicycle factory, there are many skilled workers in need. Zhao Miao suggested.

"Start a technical school? Will it cost too much? And where is the right place to do it? Li Wenyin also doesn't know a little about this.

"It won't cost much, we don't need to be too large, we only need to have 100 people, and then we will decide whether to expand the scale according to the specific situation." Hu Mingcheng has some research on this, and he is a mechanical major, and he knows the importance of technical schools for factories.

And at this time, there was also a lack of technical schools in China.

It can be seen from the majors set up by the university that the scale of liberal arts majors and the number of students occupy an absolute advantage, which is also the Republic of China has produced many literary masters, but there are not many science talents.

In the last years of the Republic of China, there were more talents in science, but the number was still not much, and they did not grow.

"Where?" Li Wenyin asked.

"I think Hechuan is good, it's closer to where we are now, but far from the city. Actually, I think our factories should find a way to disperse and stay away from the city, and now the Japanese bombardment of Chongqing is becoming more and more frequent, and a shell fell near our factory a few days ago. Speaking of the bombing, Zhao Miao was really worried.

"There's no way we're going to move all the factories, right?" Li Wenyin knows that if the factory is relocated now, the impact will be great, and the market that he has just grabbed may be lost.

"We can open new factories in other places with new equipment, and there is no need to expand the scale here in Chongqing.

You can take advantage of the Jialing River or Qujiang River to open factories to Guang'an, Quxian, Nanchong and other places, which have the convenience of shipping, and are also far away from Chongqing, so you don't have to worry about bombing. Hu Mingcheng suggested.

"I think the establishment of the new factory needs to be approved by the chief." Zhao Miao insisted.

Unlike Hu Mingcheng, who was hired by Leng Jie, Zhao Miao was Leng Jie's subordinate, so he naturally respected Leng Jie more.

"This must be discussed with him." Li Wenyin nodded.

It's just a matter of one or two telegrams, which is very convenient.

The establishment of match factories in Chengdu and Dazhu was Leng Jie's suggestion.

Chengdu is the capital city of Sichuan, the market is very large, if you want to transport matches from Chongqing, and a little far, it is the best choice to open a branch factory.

As for the branch of Dazhu, the scale is very small, even if it is fully completed, the daily output of matches is up to 10,000 boxes.

This is Leng Jie's selfishness, plus Dazhu is the seat of the Tenth Administrative Supervision District of Sichuan, otherwise with the inconvenient transportation here, Quxian and Guang'an are undoubtedly more suitable.

Li Wenyin quickly sent a telegram to Leng Jie, and Leng Jie also put forward his opinions.

At this time, the conditions of Chengdu are indeed not very suitable for the development of heavy industry, transportation is the biggest drawback, there is no railway, the highway is not sound, only through the Tuojiang River and the Minjiang River, but the shipping capacity of the two rivers is not strong, the advantage is not as good as the Jialing River and its tributary Qujiang.

Therefore, Leng Jie decided that in addition to the match factory, the new factory would not be placed in Chengdu, but along the two main rivers of the Jialing River and the Qujiang River.

Due to the large reserves of rock salt in Nanchong, Leng Jie set up a new fertilizer plant in Nanchong; The new bicycle factory was set up in Guang'an County.

When the new machinery and equipment arrive, the two local governments will open new factories.

The specific factory site can only be inspected by Li Wenyin, Zhao Miao and others, and he has no time to ask about these, so he can only be a shopkeeper.

Of course, the main reason is that the Japanese army has made a big move, and the Ninth Theater has begun to prepare for battle.

Since the beginning of September, the Japanese army has been secretly mobilizing, and military supplies have also been transported to Wuhan and Jiujiang and other places by boat, and they were soon detected by the military commanders, and the news reached Changsha and Chongqing, which made the Nationalist Government begin to take it seriously.

"How many Japanese military numbers have been found so far?"

In Changsha, in the headquarters of the commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, Xue Laohu rarely showed a dignified look, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to plan to attack Changsha.

"At present, the numbers of the Japanese army found are the numbers of the 6th, 13th, 33rd, 101st and 106th divisions, and several independent mixed brigades, the number is unknown." Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the Ninth Theater of Operations, said.

"It means that there will be five divisions attacking Changsha?" Xue Laohu frowned.

According to our intelligence, the 101st Division and the 106th Division are in Jiujiang, Wuning and other places, and they should want to contain our forces in Jiangxi, so that the 1st, 19th, and 30th Group Armies will not be able to rush to the battlefield on this side of Hunan." Wu Yizhi analyzed.

"How do you think that the focus of the Japanese offensive is in the Hunan direction? And not in the direction of Jiangxi? Xue Laohu asked.

"Because the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is in Linxiang and Xianning, and the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army is in Tongcheng, Chongyang and other places.

After the first battle of Nanchang, the 101st Division was basically wiped out, and although it was reorganized, its strength was greatly reduced, and its combat strength may not be as good as a three-unit garrison division, and it was impossible for Okamura Ninji to use the 101st Division as the main force. Wu Yizhi analyzed.

Xue Laohu nodded, the 6th Division, as the most capable division of the Japanese 11th Army, must be used as the main force, so there is no problem at this glance.

"So what do you think should be done?" Xue Laohu asked.

"We may be able to learn from the fighting style of the Battle of Nanchang and lure the Japanese army to the north of Changsha to encircle and annihilate it.

If the Japanese army attacked Changsha, it could only follow the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway. However, the area along this route is crisscrossed by mountains and has complex terrain.

Most of the northern Hunan region north of Changsha is also mountainous and hilly, and there is a lot of water. If the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway is used as the boundary to draw a straight line from north to south, there are Dongting Lake and the three major rivers of Lishui, Yuanshui and Xiangjiang on the left flank, and Xinqiang River, Miluo River, Laodao River and Liuyang River on the right flank, thus forming a natural defense line.

Such terrain is undoubtedly very unfavorable for the mechanized troops of the Japanese army.

We can rely on the Xinqiang River, Miluo River and other rivers to arrange defense lines, block them step by step, and then lure the enemy into the depths, and then gather superior forces in the area north of Changsha to annihilate the Japanese army. ”

Wu Yizhi's suggestion was based on the Battle of Nanchang, which had a great impact on the Chinese army, especially for generals like Xue Laohu and Wu Yizhi.

Whether it's street fighting, or luring the enemy deep, it's a good tactic.

Wu Yizhi and other staff officers were naturally greatly affected, and the topographical situation in Changsha was also very close to that of Nanchang.

The east side of the Nanxun Railway is Poyang Lake, and the west side is a mountainous area, with many rivers along the line; However, the northern Hunan section of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway is Dongting Lake on the west side, and the mountainous area is on the east side, and there are many rivers along the way, so we can learn from the experience of the victory in the Battle of Nanchang.
