Wang Tiancheng, who is no longer human, no matter how much he swears, Bai Yi can't hear it, at this moment he is talking to Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang, listening to the driver about the latest news of the national situation, just during the time they are on the road, the Liaoshen Battle ended victoriously, and the entire Northeast was liberated.

At the same time, Huaye and Zhongye, located in the Central Plains, jointly launched the Huaihai Campaign, which was even more ambitious in scale, and it was precisely for this reason that the central authorities instructed the newly liberated northeastern region to shoulder the role of a large rear and a large granary to support the fraternal troops in other battlefields to achieve victory.
"So, these days, I am even busier than when the Northeast was liberated, rushing to make uniforms, sewing military uniforms, transporting grain, by the way, there are also guns and ammunition produced by ourselves, especially those large-caliber shells, one by one, there is also the thickness of a thigh, all of them are transported to the customs after a trainload, if all of them are smashed on the enemy's head, I dare to guarantee that it will definitely be enough for those guys to drink a pot of ......"
The chatty driver thought about it in pieces, but there was irrepressible joy on his face, Bai Yi and the others were the same, after all, victory is something worth celebrating for every soldier, even if it is thousands of kilometers away, but he can still experience the military glory that spreads out of the bone marrow.
In this way, a few people talked all the way down on the national situation, and time passed quickly, and a few hours passed in a blink of an eye, when a few people were still unsatisfied, the gray-white gate engraved with several traditional characters of the Baiyun Arsenal appeared in front of everyone, so Bai Yi and others said goodbye to the driver, and walked into the arsenal that had just been liberated half a year ago with a cautious and curious gaze.
When starting from the front line, the superiors introduced some information to Bai Yi about the Baiyun Factory, which was built in the Fengzhi Zhang Zuolin period of the arsenal, and was only used as a supplement to the Shencheng Fengtian Ordnance Factory at the beginning, mainly producing some low-end light weapons with rifle bullets; After 918, the Baiyun Factory was occupied by Japan, and at first it was also used as a supplement to the Fengtian Ordnance Factory.
However, with the gradual expansion of Japan's war of aggression against China, especially the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army's demand for munitions increased day by day, and it was far from being able to meet the requirements by relying only on a few large munitions factories in the mainland and northeast China.
At this time, the Baiyun Plant entered the field of vision of the Japanese Military Department, and immediately began a large-scale reconstruction and expansion project in early 1942, adding smelting, forging, machinery, assembly and other production equipment, and the production workshop was also expanded from the original two to eight, and relying on the rich mineral deposits in the central and eastern parts of Northeast China and the abundant power of the Fengman Hydropower Station that had just been put into operation, it formed a complete set of military production industry chain clusters.
By the end of 1943, the Baiyun Factory had grown from a small munitions engineer who could only produce rifle bullets to a large-scale comprehensive arsenal that could independently produce bullets, grenades, mortar shells, firearms, mortars, large-caliber howitzer shells and many other types of weapons.
However, the "gorgeous transformation" of the Baiyun factory was only a flash in the pan after all, with the defeat of Japan in the major battlefields, the original rear was frequently bombed by the Allied forces, especially the military industrial enterprises that supported the army's operations, and it was the key target of the Allied heavy bombers.
The Baiyun Plant was no exception, and since 1944, the U.S. Air Force in China has frequently bombed the Baiyun Plant, destroying a large number of factories and machinery, and only a year later the Soviet Union sent troops to the Northeast to sweep away the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in the Northeast.
The Baiyun factory also fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, and the Soviets had only one policy for the industrial and mining enterprises of the belligerents, that is, they were all empty, so nearly 1,000 sets of intact precision machinery of the Baiyun Factory were loaded by the Soviet Union with a full 200 train wagons, and all the remaining ones were moved back to the Soviet Union, and when the Soviets handed over the Baiyun Factory to the then Nationalist Government, the Baiyun Factory had become a veritable empty shell.
However, at this time, although there was only a pair of shelves left in the Baiyun Factory, a large number of skilled workers were still there, the surrounding mines and hydropower were still in good condition, and the basic hardware of some factories could still be used.
It's a pity that the high-level officials of the Nationalist Government at that time only stared at the civil war, and the bigwigs with their own hearts were all desperately looking at "money" one by one, and the foreign goods that were in demand at that time were the most profitable business, so the bigwigs of the Nationalist Government were too lazy to pay attention to Baiyun Factory, which only spent money and did not make money, and devoted all their energy to the business of buying and selling.
Of course, among the officials in charge of military production in the Nationalist Government, there are not people who do not understand, and the report on the resumption of the Baiyun Factory is also a vigorous upward hand, but what is waiting for is a long import list issued by a certain bigwig's junior, and the price of the quotation is even more smacking.
Clear-eyed people can understand at a glance that this is the bigwigs who want to eat oil and water, if they can't take it out, everything is not to be discussed, and the military industry department of the Republic of China government can maintain the existing basic plate Thank God, how can there be extra money for the bigwigs to eat? So the matter of restoring the Baiyun factory was over.
So it can only barely maintain the minimum operation, and this also makes the Baiyun Factory once again reduced to a low-end factory that can only produce bullets, so that when our army attacked the Baiyun Factory half a year ago, the enemy fled without much resistance, because this vain arsenal has long been a chicken rib for the enemy, and it is not a pity to lose it.
But our army is like a treasure, you must know that although our army at that time also had a considerable scale of arsenal, but if you calculate carefully, at best, it is only a workshop level, like the Baiyun Factory, that is, there is sufficient power supply, and there is a supply of raw materials around it, plus its own foundation is also good, for our army, it is simply a good factory that cannot be found with a lantern.
Because of this, after learning that the Baiyun Factory was liberated, Dongye dispatched a large number of experienced cadres and technicians to the Baiyun Factory, overhauling the remaining machinery and equipment and workshops, and rectifying the original team of workers in the Baiyun Factory.
At the same time, through various channels, Dongye purchased urgently needed machinery and equipment for the resumption of production of the Baiyun Plant, so with the support of Dongye, in less than half a year, the Baiyun Factory has restored half of the production capacity in its heyday, and the bullets, grenades, mortar shells and even large-caliber shells produced directly supported the just-concluded Liaoshen Campaign, becoming the key to our army's victory over the enemy.
It's just that because of the restrictions of the situation between the enemy and us, the Baiyun Factory had to be listed as a secret unit by Dongye, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the commander of the main division of the field army may not know the existence of this factory, and the reason why this is done is also helpless, although our army has an absolute advantage in the northeast, and even liberates the whole northeast.
However, there are still a large number of enemy elements, not to mention anything else, Wang Tiancheng, who has just suffered a big loss in the staring eye, is one of them, not to mention that the enemy's air force has always been eyeing our army's important military industrial targets, so as long as the Baiyun Factory is discovered by the enemy to have the ability to produce on a large scale, it will inevitably be destroyed at all costs.
Therefore, Dongye assigned the Baiyun Factory to the direct subordinate at the same time, but also did a lot of confidentiality measures, Bai Yi and a few of them are no exception, when they are resting in the place, they only inform their XX troops to replace, and do not say the specific location and position, as for the injured can not reach the Baiyun Factory, nor can they use local vehicles, but the Baiyun Factory sent vehicles back to the factory, the so-called is to keep the secret of the large-scale production of the Baiyun Factory.
Because of various reasons, only Bai Yi knew about this, and Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang did not know, so Bai Yi and others did not enter the factory immediately, but passed several checkpoints, and the certificate issued by the Dongye Headquarters was tested again and again before they were able to enter the factory, which also made Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang very unbelievable.
In Lao Ge's words, even if he went to the column headquarters to report the situation, it was not so troublesome, but when he listened to Bai Yi's reason, the two of them suddenly nodded with a sense of excitement, Chen Yaoyang needless to say, he had already raised his hands to agree with the transfer to the arsenal, and now entering a large factory of such a scale is his life's wish.
As for Lao Ge, after learning about the irreplaceable role of Baiyun Factory, he no longer had any regrets about being assigned to the frontier, but was a little eager to try, ready to be better than the addiction of the heroes behind the scenes, in his words, when he saw his former comrades-in-arms in the future, he would be able to pat his chest and pat his chest with his chest and proudly show off: "Your ammunition is all made by Lao Tzu, so your credit for killing the enemy is half of Lao Tzu!" ”
Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang were so blatantly forced to slap their faces by Lao Ge, and their dreams were full of black lines, all of them seemed to not know him, far away from Lao Ge, which made Lao Ge very confused, and chased the butts of the two of them vigorously to ask what the dream was, which made Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang speechless, but fortunately, at this time, a cadre in his thirties walked towards them, and immediately fixed his gaze on Bai Yi, and asked gently: "You are Comrade Bai Yi!" ”
"I'm Bai Yi, who are you?"
"My name is Dong Bin, and Director Lin asked me to come and pick you up, and he is waiting for you in the office now!" Dong Bin stretched out his hand as he spoke, Bai Yi naturally greeted him, shook hands with Dong Bin, and followed Dong Bin all the way to the office of Lin Bo, director of the Military Control Committee of Baiyun Factory......
At this time, in Lin Bo's office, a female soldier with two ponytails reported to Lin Bo sitting behind the desk, and after the female soldier finished speaking, Lin Bo nodded with deep eyes: "Well, it seems that the enemy has been eyeing you, stay in the factory during this time, as for the introduction of machinery and equipment, I will leave it to Lao Zhao and them to do." ”
"If I don't go, I'm afraid of ......"
"There's nothing to be afraid of, the machine is dead, but the person is alive, I don't want to take any more risks, resulting in a small loss, you must know that your Comrade Jinglin is the pillar of our Baiyun Factory, and my old Lin can't afford to lose!"
The female soldier with a ponytail was none other than Li Jinglin, who had been rescued by Bai Yi and others in Staring Eye Ridge, listening to Lin Bo's words, Li Jinglin pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but Lin Bo stretched out her hand to stop her, and immediately changed the topic: "This matter is so decided, oh, by the way, you happen to be there today, just to introduce you to someone!" ”
"Introducing someone?" Li Jinglin looked at Lin Bo with some doubts, but as soon as she said this, the door of the office rang "knock~~knock~~knock~~", Lin Bo suddenly pointed to the door and laughed: "Haha~~ Take a look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" ”
