Chapter 687: Du Chongyuan returns to the Northeast
December 17, 1943. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Qinhuangdao.
Xiao Lu finished handling the affairs of Jinzhou and moved the headquarters to Qinhuangdao. This is profound, because Qinhuangdao is already in the Guannei. Now, the Rehe troops, the Yang Jingyu troops of the First Route Army, and the Zhao Shangzhi troops of the Third Route Army have entered the customs, and the headquarters should also enter the museum.
In fact, this battle was commanded by Yan'an, with General Zhu and General Peng and General Ye of the New Fourth Army, plus Xiaolu and others forming the command. Xiaolu is no longer a command here, but a logistics department, a coordination department. The closer you are to the troops, the more advantageous it is for the campaign.
At noon, the convoy arrived in the city of Qinhuangdao.
Traces of the war can be seen everywhere, the positions on the outskirts of the city have almost been flattened, there are scattered cement blocks everywhere, the corpses have been cleaned up, and thousands of migrant workers are clearing the roads and clearing the city.
The convoy entered the city along a road that had just been cleared, and the civilian area was fine, and none of the large buildings in the city center were intact. Passing by the train station, half of the station building was blown up, but the whole station started running, there were some people leaving the exit and there were people queuing at the entrance. There was also an exit for the military, and truckloads of wounded soldiers entered the station, and truckloads of supplies drove out of the station.
There was a dignified person sitting in the car on the road, this person was wearing a suit, his eyes were embarrassed, looking at the situation in Shanhaiguan, very excited.
Xiaolu said: "After the battle, the walls are ruined, and it can be seen that the battle is fierce." ”
The man said, "yes." This was the largest battle to wipe out the Japanese army. ”
Xiaolu said: "Du Gong, what do you think?" ”
This person's name is Du Chongyuan, and he was brought back from Xinjiang by Xiaolu. Xiaolu respected him and called him Du Gong.
Du Chongyuan's ancestral home in Guangdong, born in Huaide, Jilin, studied in Japan in his early years, and later returned to Shenyang to set up an industry, with the help of Zhang Xueliang, and later, entered the Guannai, engaged in industry, during which he engaged in a large number of social activities. Because of the Xi'an incident, he was placed under house arrest by Jiang and later went to Xinjiang.
Du Chongyuan was originally arrested by Sheng Shicai and locked up in prison. Historically, he would have been killed by Sheng Shicai in 1943, and even his body could not be found. One said that it was buried in a park, and no one was sure.
Because the direction of history has changed, he was rescued from prison after being arrested in the prosperous era, and has been cultivating in Dihua. At the beginning, Sheng Shicai was suspicious and killed countless people, the so-called supervision in one year, 100,000 heads. On the pretext of arresting Trotskyists, he arrested more than 3,000 people and imprisoned them. Sheng Shicai fell, and Yan'an took over Xinjiang, and the first thing was to release these people.
This time, Xiaolu passed through Xinjiang and followed Zhou Gong to visit him. His body had been tortured and dying when he was released, and it took so long for him to recover.
During the meeting, he learned about the situation in Northeast China, resolutely asked to return to Northeast China to work, and returned to Yan'an with the delegation. Zhou Gong persuaded him not to come back, because Xinjiang needed talents, but he was homesick and resolutely came back.
He stayed in Yan'an for a few days, took a cargo plane, rushed to Jinzhou, and heard that Xiaolu was just about to leave Jinzhou, so he chased after him. The convoy of Xiaolu stopped on the road and was caught up by Du Chongyuan at Shanhaiguan.
Du Chongyuan said: "A hundred wastes are waiting to be revived." ”
Xiaolu said: "Du Gong, you are learning smelting, right?" ”
Du Chongyuan said: "No, no, I studied pottery in Japan and produced ceramics. ”
Xiaolu said: "I see, what are your own plans?" ”
Du Chongyuan said: "I have been paying attention to the Northeast for a long time to see what I can do. However, in my opinion, the Northeast lacks everything, and everyone is lacking. ”
Xiaolu said: "Yes, if you want to ask you to do the ceramic industry, it is obviously inappropriate: it is overkill." There are three industries that need to be greatly developed now, the first is steel, one is coal, and the other is electricity. Iron and steel, coal both need the development of the power industry. Of course, the light industrialization industry also needs to be vigorously developed, which is not as important as coal, electricity and iron. Previously, we suffered losses, we focused on the military industry, as a result of which there was not enough electricity and equipment was idle. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "I understand, you want me to engage in electricity." ”
Xiaolu said: "Thermal power comes quickly, but there are many shortcomings. Hydropower comes slowly, and there are many advantages. The two comprehensive developments should be one road. The specific ratio is to be given by the experts. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "Okay, I'll engage in electricity." ”
"Thermal power is easy to build, coal prices are not high, and power generation is easy. However, after the thermal power ignition boiler generates electricity, it cannot be stopped. Hydropower is not easy to build, but it is easy to manage and the power quality is high. If you want to start work, you can send out a stable current in a few minutes, and if you want to turn it off, you can turn it off in a few minutes, and the thermal power switch takes 24 hours. Electricity consumption, there are peaks and valleys, and everyone starts work during the day, forming a peak of electricity consumption; At night, everyone does not use electricity, forming a trough of demand. In the power generation industry, demand determines supply, and we will send as much as people want. More is useless, less scolding. The combination of hydropower and thermal power, when the demand for electricity is large, the use of hydropower can optimize the electricity. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "I didn't expect that you have a deep understanding of industry. ”
"To manage society, you need to keep learning. Now, new factories in the NEC are applying for electricity every day. Because of the lack of electricity, a quota system had to be introduced. We need a lot of electricity. Du Gong, you were originally an excellent social activist and educator. However, there is a shortage of industrialists. Therefore, talents with an industrial background like you are very valuable. That's why the central government approved you to come to Northeast China when there was a shortage of people in Xinjiang. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "Okay, social activists and educators don't dare to be them, I just want to do something practical." ”
Xiaolu said: "Don't be modest, the Xi'an incident, without your planning, the situation is out of control." Your educational activities in Xinjiang are also in the eyes of everyone. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "It's a pity that I was under house arrest at that time, and I didn't release my house arrest until a long time later. In the end, he was not tolerated by Jiang, so he had to wander around, and finally ran to Xinjiang. ”
Xiaolu said: "As a result, the warlords of Xinjiang arrested you for promoting progressive ideas. When you were in charge of Xinjiang College, you invited cultural celebrities, introduced culture, and bought books. In addition to propagating progressive ideas and promoting culture, the credit is not small. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "It wasn't until the prosperous era that it fell, and I saw the light of day again." These days, every time I see good news in the Northeast, I want to come back. During this period, I established a stable relationship with Deng Fa and Chen Tanqiu and became a special party member. Don't sigh, let's talk about work. Does the Northeast Bureau have any ideas about electricity? ”
Xiaolu said: "First ensure industry, especially heavy industry. Give you the right to do it. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "The key point for me is Shenyang, Anshan area. There is an industrial area. ”
Xiaolu said: "Not bad, not bad. Wait for the electricity to ease a bit, and then you can do something else. To put it bluntly, I hope you will focus on the civilian industry in the future. Electricity is just the beginning. Of course, the Northeast Bureau hopes that you will use your prestige to recruit some high-level talents. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "To engage in industry, one needs a lot of money, and the other requires a lot of advanced equipment. The most advanced equipment is not available in Europe, only in the United States. Is there a way? ”
Xiaolu said: "Funding is not a problem, we can concentrate on doing big things, mobilize all funds, and quickly do big things." As for the way, we had already reached an agreement when we met with the US delegation. You were in a hurry to go back to the Northeast this time, and you didn't go to Xi'an to see the young marshal. In fact, we have a joint venture with the young marshal in the southwest of the country, and in the United States, and we are making a lot of money. Du Gong, you are familiar with the Northeast, and we will arrange for you to meet the young marshal. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "It turns out that it is true that we are cooperating with the young marshal. That's good, we are also old friends, when my business encountered difficulties, I asked him to solve them. He invested in the shares, and our business was lived. Now it's time to work together again. ”
Xiaolu said: "Now the young marshal is stationed in Xi'an, and his status is more delicate. Although his Northeast Army was directly under the command of Chongqing, part of it was pulled over by Lao Chiang, and part of it was directly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, and less than half of it was strictly under his command. In the previous period of several anti-Japanese battles, the Northeast Army rushed to the front and suffered huge losses. With the support of our companies, these armies are barely sustaining. ”
Du Chongyuan said: "That's good." Look, the war has smashed the city, and we build it. ”
Xiao Lu laughed and said, "Du Gong has confidence, I have confidence." ”
The convoy was guided by a motorbike to a building. Only a few windows in the corner of this building are broken, and the rest is still intact. Xiaolu saw a big man in front of the building, it was Yang Jingyu.
Yang Jingyu brought the situation in Hebei.
Commander Yang's previous battle changed the color of the mountains and rivers and became famous. Yang Jingyu's First Route Army, Zhao Shangzhi's Third Route Army, Li Zhaolin's Rehe Army, plus Hebei's Eighth Route Army's troops of the Pingxi Military Region and the troops of the Eastern Hebei Military Region launched a decisive battle against the Japanese army in the Shanhaiguan area of Qinhuangdao. Commander Yang took the lead in the attack and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army.
In this battle, the Northeast Coalition Army suffered great losses because of the frontal battle with the main force of the Japanese army. On the contrary, other troops fought behind enemy lines, although the recovered land area was large, but there was not much loss, and most of the local garrison troops were puppet troops.
After the war, the Northeast Coalition Army was stationed in Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, Rehe, and Zhao Shangzhi sent out two columns to advance to Tangshan, and at present, Tangshan has been surrounded. Yan'an has instructions that Tangshan is an industrial city, and to protect it as much as possible, we need a complete Tangshan.
Yang Jingyu's troops suffered heavy losses and temporarily withdrew from the Tangshan Campaign for rest. Knowing that the road came to Shanhaiguan, he drove from a small town dozens of miles away.
Xiao Lu said: "Commander Yang, when I got the news of your victory abroad, I knew that this was a difficult battle. How's that, okay? ”
Yang Jingyu: "It's okay. Fortunately, there were sufficient logistical supplies, and the troop losses were still controlled. ”
Xiaolu: "In the future, the troops will attack North China, attack Shandong, return to Korea, and attack Japan." ”
Yang Jingyu: "I'm here to discuss this matter with you." ”
Xiaolu: "Okay. Let's talk about it. At present, the battlefield is chaotic, and the boundaries between friend and foe are staggered. Some coal mills haven't recovered the sea, right? ”
Yang Jingyu: "Yes, for example, Guye, Zhaogezhuang Coal Mine. However, even if it is not recovered, our underground party, local troops are still active. A lot of the action is spontaneous. ”
Xiaolu: "Spontaneous can't do it, there must be guidelines and policies, there must be a plan, and a small force must be sent as a task force to all the places that have not been recovered." ”
