[127] The coming year will be a good harvest

To say, Cao Xiaoqiang's luck is really good, after Li Mubai called Yuan Kedi, even if this matter was officially made a big fuss, it was directly stabbed above. Considering that this incident is related to the acceptance and handover of tens of billions of military purchases after the year, the above directly issued an instruction: Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, as an exporter of the Ministry of National Defense, his personal safety is extremely important, and the incident of being attacked by gangsters when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives must be thoroughly investigated! Cao Xiaoqiang's identity as a victim in this incident is characterized.

After learning about the situation in the bureau, the comrades of the Nandu Military Region made a record to confirm that this was indeed a legitimate defense after being attacked.

Joke! These two thieves dared to take the initiative to launch a violent attack on the gunmen with the special mission certificate of the Ministry of Defense, and they would not lose 10,000 deaths

So he directly lifted Xiaoqiang out and took him home by car. Now Xiaoqiang's whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiaoqiang comforted his parents, he returned to his room and sat on the chair in a daze and looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. Parents are still as frugal as ever, and they are not even willing to change a wall clock, this clock is still the one hanging on the wall of his room in Xiaoqiang's old house, and there is a spot of rust on the side of the clock at 7 o'clock. Xiaoqiang lit a cigarette and thought about things stupidly.

He just couldn't figure it out, and the old classmates of Weishenme would suddenly become psychologically unbalanced, and they would suddenly turn against each other.

As far as he is concerned, if his friend has a talent, he will bless her, and be proud of him, and even mention himself as a promising classmate in front of people from time to time, and be proud. He really couldn't figure it out, weishenme Zheng Xiaolong was going to call someone to beat him.

"Is this the so-called evil of one thought? Or have I violated his interests? Cao Xiaoqiang shook his head, decided that he didn't want to do so much, and after calling his friends to inform him that he was fine, he was ready to leave his hometown early and return to Beijing.

The Spring Festival of 2011 made Xiaoqiang feel very lost.

In 1950, there were no ups and downs like Cao Xiaoqiang. On the contrary, it is simply busy.

In the northeast, the construction project of the super-large iron and steel complex that fell from the sky is still under construction, and the builders of New China are constantly groping for construction difficulties in the face of severe cold weather, which is really nerve-wracking. More than 700 people in the steel industry were recruited from all over the country to work on this "difficult" project.

Engineer Wang Qian is an old steel, before the liberation in the Northeast, from the Japanese Showa Iron and Steel Plant work until the liberation, in his memory, the predecessor of Anshan Iron and Steel in Japan Showa Iron and Steel The most glorious period was 1943, at that time, Anshan Iron and Steel with an annual output of 1.3 million tons of iron, 840,000 tons of steel, with an annual processing capacity of 490,000 tons of steel.

Wang Qian was deeply shocked by the Japanese steel mills, and deeply felt inferior and sad.

But today, even if he is well-informed, he has never had this kind of five-link blast furnace with a single volume of 1,000 cubic meters, and the appearance of this guy in front of him is really beyond his imagination. In his memory, the largest blast furnace used by the Japanese in Anshan Iron and Steel was only 700 cubic meters, and the four-pack blast furnace of Anshan Iron and Steel was among the best in Asia at that time, but after the Soviets came, they dismantled all the equipment in the factory with a total weight of more than 70,000 tons, regardless of the total, and paralyzed Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

In front of him, the combination of five blast furnaces with a single volume of 1,000 cubic meters and a total volume of 5,000 cubic meters introduced by New China really shocked him. He was no longer afraid, no longer inferior, and Wang Qian swore that in order for this blast furnace to run successfully, even bloodshed and sacrifice would be spared.

If Xiaoqiang is at the construction site, he will definitely tell these lovely people with a smile that a single 1,000 cubic meters is nothing, and the largest blast furnace on Shijie, known as the king of blast furnaces, is a 5,860 cubic blast furnace completed in 2009 in China, and the output of molten iron in a single furnace reaches 13,000 tons a day. The energy consumption ratio is outrageously low.

"Advanced! It's beautiful! Pretty! Wang Qian looked at the blast furnace that was being erected under construction in front of him, and every time he was shocked in his heart, he couldn't think of any other language and vocabulary, the huge volume, and the refined pipeline layout all showed the muscular charm of the steel industry. Wang Qian listened to his colleagues say that this is the latest type of blast furnace secretly imported from the Soviet Union by the state, and it is the most advanced on Shijie. I heard that the Soviet Union is currently building a single 1500 cubic blast furnace, but this kind of monomer 1000 cubic quintus of 5000 cubic meters of integrated furnace, semi-automatic control and operation, Wang Qian has never seen before, it seems that the strength of the Soviet Union's steel industry is really much higher than Japan, this is at least the strength of Jishu leading Japan for twenty or thirty years, the automation level of this set of equipment, should not even be comparable to the most haode American equipment in the world today, right?

In Wang Qian's view, as a steel man, this life to be able to participate in such a big project, and is to complete such a great project for his motherland, is a lifelong glory, after the completion of this blast furnace, marking the leap development of China's iron and steel, to reach the current advanced level of Shijie powers.

"Great, because it is arduous, so great!" Wang Qian's mind remembered the words of the chairman relayed by the lecturer of the ideological and political course sent by the army in the study class held by Angang Iron and Steel every day after work.

Not only did he think so, but all the comrades around him had this idea: Yes, the task is very difficult, after all, what has never been done is the most difficult, but doesn't this just prove the greatness of this work?

"We must build the first blast furnace in New China." This is the call of the central government, and this is the clarion call for a decisive battle for all Angang people from the deepest part of their abdomen.

In Xiaoqiang's view, the 21st century domestic medium-sized steel mills everywhere can be seen popular combined blast furnace is really commonplace, but he did not expect that this thing for the 1950's Chinese iron and steel industry, it is really difficult, although there are installation instructions, including the installation of CD-ROMs and drawings of the guidance, plus advanced construction equipment, but for the 1950 iron and steel people, it is still necessary to feel the stones to cross the river. Every construction action requires the engineers to go into battle shirtless and command the installation after repeated demonstrations without sleep.

Historically, it was not until 1958 that New China established the first super-large iron and steel complex in Wuhan, and the total capacity of the blast furnace was only 1,386 cubic meters when it was completed, and it was only expanded to 2,200 cubic meters in 1978. In 1951, Anshan Iron and Steel introduced a series of single blast furnaces from the Soviet Union, the largest of which was the No. 8 furnace, a single 1,500 cubic blast furnace.

Therefore, in the face of this super combined blast furnace with a total capacity of 5,000 cubic meters, Wang Qian, like all the Jishu personnel, never has Sundays, is either on the construction site or drilled in the jishu drawings all day long, and the meals are sent to the construction site in the canteen.

Under the rule of the Kuomintang, China's steel industry was a joke. At that time, the Kuomintang counted the steel production of the Japanese in Northeast China in its own name and advocated a golden decade, but in fact, from 1938 to 1945, the steel output of the Kuomintang was only 45,000 tons. From 1946 to 1948, the Kuomintang relied on American guns, American artillery, foreign steel, and foreign iron to fight the civil war.

The builders of the People's Republic of China were determined to build this super-large joint iron and steel manufacturing enterprise, which they regarded as an absolute engineering miracle.

Shen Hong, director of the heavy industry department of the Central Finance Commission, and Xu Chi, director of the Jihua Department of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, both came, they had personally created the first small blast furnace in the Yan'an period, Xu Chi was a top student of the German Department and the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tongji University, this time as the chief engineer of the central point general, fully responsible for the construction of this steel super project.

In the design room of Angang, more than a dozen large wooden tables are lined up, piled up with all kinds of drawings and materials, and the engineers are busy burying their heads in the meantime. Repeatedly check and verify each drawing, and study each construction step on the data.

On the wall of the design room is a brief table of practical engineering operations and calligraphy written in simple red letters, which are slogans to cheer everyone up: "Don't be afraid of hardship!" Against all odds! Fight for victory! ”

Shen Hong raised his head from the pile of drawings, and looked worriedly at his old buddy Xu Chi, who was sitting not far away, only to see that his eye sockets had sunken, and the whole person had lost weight, and only two bloodshot eyes were full of energy. Xu Chi's wide dark blue old cotton tunics was wrapped in an equally wide cotton jacket, but it gave people the feeling that as long as he worked hard from above, he could pull the thin bamboo pole-like Xu Chi out of the pile of clothes.

Shen Hong has been frightened by Xu Chi's "ghost appearance" in the past few days, and said worriedly again:

"Lao Xu, you can pay attention to rest, don't drag yourself down before you finish."

"It's okay, my body knows it by itself, and I can hold it. Besides, as long as the 5,000 cubic meters of blast furnace can be raised, we can rely on the gourd to draw a scoop, and use the steel to build more such advanced and magnificent blast furnaces in the newly established equipment factory of Anshan Iron and Steel. As long as there is steel, China will be rich and strong, and it will no longer be bullied by the great powers, right? We iron men are looking forward to this day. ”

Shen Hong pushed a pair of yellow phenolic plastic-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, shut up and stopped talking. He carefully took out a small crumpled yellow paper bag in his pocket, walked to the stove and lifted the boiling water hanger, brewed a cup of brown sugar water and melted it, put it on Xu Chi's table, and went back to bury his head in the pile of drawings.

The brown sugar was rationed to Shen Hong's lover who had just given birth, but his lover was reluctant to drink it, so he secretly stuffed it in his pocket to replenish his body before he went out. He was reluctant to drink it, and every time he took it out, he rushed to the comrades in the design room who abandoned their wives and children and worked overtime day and night.

The snow outside the window continued to howl, and I don't know how many more days it will follow. In Angang's jishu family, the sound of the paper roll and the rustle of the pencil drowned out the sound of the wind and snow with the sonorous sound of gold and stone.

The People's Liberation Army in 1950 was also fighting in the bitter cold, and the common people who farmed the fields had winter breaks, but the troops did not. After the rearmament, several units were assiduously practicing the tactical fighting style under the high-intensity firepower brought by the new equipment, and the sound of guns and artillery continued to sound on the vast loess training ground. According to Jihua, these reequipped troops will be thrown into the liberation campaign of the Zhoushan Islands and Hainan Island as the main attack on Liliang.

Artillery is a jishu class, 54 type 122mm is good to say, in order to play with the 54 type 152mm sent back by Xiaoqiang, the artillery unit is training every day, the shell of the 152mm caliber howitzer is nearly 40 kg per shot, and after a training, the gunners can be tired and sweaty in winter.

However, the most fascinating thing for the commanders and fighters is the 59-1 type 130mm cannon, the maximum artillery bombardment distance of 27 kilometers, which can be described as the heavy weapon of the army, and the commander of the 40th Army, Han Xianchu, has recently been obsessed with this 130mm cannon, and almost every day he comes to ask about artillery training. For the artillerymen, the only thing that confuses everyone on the shells is the numbers like 76 and 79, but I heard that this is the production batch number, which has no practical meaning......

Han Xianchu's army commander was nicknamed "Commander Whirlwind", he commanded the Battle of Weiyuanbao, rushed 150 miles, that is, 75 kilometers, and rushed to the predetermined position at dawn the next day to launch an attack, and since then he has been named "Commander Whirlwind". The Siye Command has already given an order, and the "Whirlwind Commander" is responsible for taking Hainan.

No, "Commander Whirlwind" found a wooden box for shells, and stood on it majestically, a head taller than the big guy, so that everyone could see his face.

"Comrades, the new cannon makes it hard to bring it up!"

"Energetic!"

Han Xianchu grinned with satisfaction, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly:

"I know you're satisfied, but I'm not satisfied with the big guy's shelling results, what's this, why only half of them hit? You must know that this cannonball is expensive, and you can buy a flower goat mile with one shot, don't you comrades who have been crooked feel distressed? ”

Seeing that some artillery soldiers lowered their heads, some soldiers even grinned at that time, afraid that they would shed tears.

Seeing this, Han Xianchu shouted:

"Our 40th Army Artillery Regiment is a good example, and this achievement is not bad compared with other troops, but we don't compare with other troops, we compare with ourselves, and today's self is more competitive with yesterday's self. Shells are expensive, but the lives of our fighters are even more expensive, and the more accurately we fight, the more the imperialists and their lackeys will die, and the safer our fighters will be!

Therefore, comrades should redouble their serious training, aim the cannon at jishu and practice at home, and strive to fight more and more accurately, and when the time comes, I will help you ask for credit! ”

The soldiers who were standing in the limelight around erupted into warm applause when they heard what the commander said.

Han Xianchu became even more energetic, pulled away the crumpled and muttering military cotton jacket on his body, stood in the cold wind with the single clothes inside, grinned and waved his hands and smiled: "The big guys are all good, you continue to practice, I was entangled by your regiment commander and had no choice but to say a few words, in fact, I watched you fight artillery, and the boss in my heart was happy, this was the beginning, if I had such old cannons in my hand, I could be a corps envoy in one division......"

In this way, Commander Han stood in the cold wind and cheered up his comrades, and only after more than half an hour did he leave in the captured American-made Willis jeep.

"I think it is necessary to hold a big competition, mobilize everyone's sense of competition, and speed up the digestion and absorption of new equipment." Commander Han sat in the jeep and said to political commissar Luo Shunchu.

Political Commissar Luo nodded and said solemnly: "The central government's requirements for the main forces have come down, and it has been repeatedly pointed out that the primary task at present is to adapt to the tactical arrangements under the new equipment, and we must indeed grasp it step by step, and we must not fall behind other troops." I heard that there will be another batch of new equipment in the future, and all the miscellaneous rifles currently used by all the troops will be replaced. ”

Commander Han raised his eyebrows and glared: "That's a good dare!" I look at this Spring Festival, our two brothers will spend it in the company! Mobilize all cadres and fighters, thoroughly understand the existing new equipment and new tactics, and do a meticulous and solid job in training. Welcome to the arrival of a new batch of equipment. ”

Political Commissar Luo nodded, smiled and looked at the hibernating earth outside the car with longing, when the next year thaws and the spring breeze rises, this ancient land will definitely be a good harvest.
