Chapter Seventy-Five: Yan'an Economic Conference (II)
Ren Chi continued, "I know that some comrades are happy, and some comrades feel insufficient, and feel that we have equipment to be so little in a year, but steelmaking is like this, the investment is large, the effect is slow, and there is an important thing in steelmaking is refractory bricks, fortunately, there is quartz in Yanchang County in our border area, quartz is an important refractory brick raw material, which can be fired silica bricks; It is worth mentioning that the small bauxite mines in Yanchuan County can fire high-alumina bricks, which are also important refractory materials. Only with good refractory bricks, we can smelt good metals. So we had to build these refractory brick factories before we could expand the steel mills and other metal smelters.
As for electricity, it is said that other comrades are in charge, so I will briefly say that it will take about three months for the equipment brought in from the United States to be fully operational, and a small coal-fired power plant of 2,000 kW can be built, which can only support one boiler in a steel plant. It is hoped that the comrades in charge of electric power will increase electricity production as soon as possible.
As we all know, our focus now is on fighting a war, and in addition to steel, we need to make chemicals as explosives. I have inspected, Yanchang, Qingjian, Zichang County is rich in rock salt, can be used as refined salt or chemical raw materials, as long as we have enough electricity, then there is enough hydrochloric acid, the comrades in charge of electricity have a long way to go; There is pyrite in Qingjian County, which can be used as sulfuric acid, and the by-product of copper ore (copper sulfide) in Yanchuan County is also sulfuric acid; As for nitric acid, we also have a way to solve it, my goal is to build these three chemical plants within a year, and our situation is that there is about to fight a big war, in order to conceal it, I propose to set up more small factories and disperse production.
Since we have a new method of making soda and caustic soda, the manufacture of soda ash and caustic soda is not a problem, and at the same time I propose to build an ash factory and a glass factory in Yanchang County, where there are enough raw materials for us to produce.
The other is the production of salt, and we are ready to increase the production volume. Not only to ensure the use of our border areas and the use of industry, but also to export. Within one year, we will ensure that everyone in the border areas will be able to eat special salt, and within three years, we will ensure that it is used by industry and that there is a certain amount of export.
There is also the extension of oil, according to our plan, next year can smoothly produce gasoline, kerosene, paraffin, ink, gun oil, petroleum jelly and other products, but the field is close to exhaustion, according to the materials obtained from special channels, we decided to continue to dig, and strive to expand from the current 1 ton per day to more than 3 tons. And according to the information, the search for oil fields in the border area continues, but this requires new specialists. In particular, the information shows that Yumen oil is still in the hands of the White Party, and I suggest that we think of a way.
The most important military factory. There are many mountains in our border area, we can set up in the valley and engage in closed production, we are about to fight against the Japanese invaders, we must pay attention to the issue of secrecy, and my proposal is that all the workers of the arsenal, the transport team, and their families should be under closed militarized management.
Generally speaking, our goal is to have a series of heavy industrial plants such as ash factories, glass factories, steel plants, petrochemical plants, tri-acid and two-alkali plants, synthetic ammonia plants, and small machinery factories by this time next year. For light industry, our goal is to establish small flour mills, textile mills in various townships. At the same time, I suggest that the establishment of breweries should be banned in the whole border area, and the brewing industry of the common people should also be restricted, because after all, we have to fight a war. These unnecessary acts of wasting food are still forgotten. Within five years, it will reach an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel. ”
After Ren Chi finished speaking, Li Qiang, who was in charge of the military industry, continued, "Our current military industry is very weak, and due to the losses in the past few years, we now have only a hundred military workers. Although according to the central government, we don't need to worry about machine tools, but the number of workers we have is too small. And the fact that there are not many specialists in the development of weapons is the biggest problem we are facing now. ”
When Ren Bi was young, his original ambition was to save the country through industry, so he also knew a little about industry. Nodding his head, he said, "Workers are the most important factor in industrial development. The workforce must be expanded, and this needs to be cultivated, and I propose that we start a workers' training school, combining the incoming workforce of workers and students, and train a workforce that is guaranteed in quantity and quality as soon as possible. ”
Chairman Mao agreed: "I think it's called the Anti-Japanese Workers' School, which mainly trains heavy industry workers, and first puts up the shelves, and I think let He Changgong be in charge of this matter." ”
He Changgong is a well-known educator in later generations, and he is also one of the very few red talents who can plan to start school that year.
He Changgong was one of the leaders of the Anti-Japanese University at this time.
Chairman Mao said about this education, and said: "I think that the rural talents mentioned at the beginning also have to work part-time to eradicate illiteracy. At the same time, we must also do a good job in ideological work and guide them to do basic education and popularize simplified Chinese characters, not only for workers, but also for building military academies and administrative academies. ”
There was a lot of agreement. Li Qiang continued: "If the problem of workers and machinery can be solved, our plan is to ensure the production capacity of rifles, light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and 60 mortars by December next year." The reloading capacity of various bullets and mortar shells, the annual production capacity of rifles is more than 2,000 pieces, and it is guaranteed that there are no problems. Within five years, we will strive to expand the production capacity of rifles to 30,000 pieces, and we will be able to produce 75 mm mountain guns ourselves. ”
Then the more detailed industrial planning and agricultural issues were discussed, and Jiang Cheng kept taking notes, thinking about what he could help do.
After the meeting, Chairman Mao and Jiang Cheng had a secret talk.
Chairman Mao carefully took out a plate from the cabinet with a few biscuits in it, Chairman Mao said, "We don't have much to eat here, that's all, you also saw it at the meeting just now, and many questions have to be asked to you." ”
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Where the chairman says, this is what should be done, I just have some ideas, talk to the chairman, see if it's appropriate." ”
Chairman Mao lit a cigarette and said, "Say it." ”
Jiang Cheng smelled the pungent smell of smoke and said, "First of all, there is the currency problem, according to the records of later generations, Japan will make a large number of counterfeit fiat currencies to aggravate the depreciation of fiat currency, although we can avoid some problems by using vouchers, but it is difficult to guarantee that Japan will not fight a financial war against us in the future, so I suggest using materials from later generations to make currency." ”
Chairman Mao said curiously: "The materials of later generations? What is it? ”
Jiang Cheng said, "I have two choices, one is plastic, which is also available now, but it is rare. We can choose the special plastic that only has in the later generations to make money, such currency is unique in this era, there will be no possibility of imitation, the second is the laser anti-counterfeiting logo, I can pull a large number of disposable laser anti-counterfeiting logos from later generations to paste on our currency, this thing is an effective anti-counterfeiting method in later generations. And it's a one-off. ”
Saying that, Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone, handed the phone case to Chairman Mao and said, "This is the plastic of later generations." ”
Chairman Mao touched and rubbed it, nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I think you can bring some here, let's let the experts take a look, we can't do it behind closed doors, you can take some sample coins." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded in understanding. Wrote it down in the notebook.
Chairman Mao continued: "Now the biggest problem of our industry is electricity, you must pull the power equipment over as soon as possible, without electricity, all our industry is empty talk." ”
Jiang Cheng continued to write it down.
Chairman Mao said again: "You have also heard at the beginning that the production of both gun barrels and bullets in our military industry is still very difficult, do you think we can find a way to solve it from the future generations first?" ”
Jiang Cheng said, "In later generations, the steel mills could easily manufacture gun barrels and barrels in this era, but it was difficult to produce bullets, that is, in the later generations, there were more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and there were many countries that could produce guns and artillery. However, there are less than 30 countries in the world that can produce bullets (copper bullets), and only 13 countries in the world that can produce both bullets and artillery shells (copper shells), and even India, which later has aircraft carriers, has always claimed to be the third in the world (hehe). Its shells and bullets were imported. As far as I know, the only two military factories in Tianjin and Nanjing that can produce bullets in China in later generations will be able to produce bullets. ”
Chairman Mao exhaled and said, "This is not good, this gun has no ammunition, it is better to burn the stick, our Red Army has suffered too much loss without ammunition, and countless Red Army soldiers can only die in hand-to-hand combat because they have no ammunition." This problem must be addressed. ”
Chairman Mao stood up, walked around a few times, and said, "That's it." If you can find a way to get all the process methods for making bullets, if we can't get ready-made ones, we will develop them ourselves. ”
Jiang Cheng smiled, "It's not difficult, I've already put on a line in the next life." This thing should still be available. ”
Chairman Mao continued: "Now that we have oil, do you think we can find a way to build some transportation equipment to strengthen our transportation capacity." ”
Jiang Cheng immediately replied, "I can get a batch of small trucks, it is enough in this era, and I recommend using a pot camel machine in the countryside, this thing is not picky, even wood can also be used, and the power is good, you can plough the land to pull goods." There are certain technical requirements, and I think those students who go to the countryside also have to learn these simple mechanical maintenance. ”
Chairman Mao said happily, "This is good, I don't know if we can make it ourselves, you have to take the manufacturing method of this, all in all, everything must be able to make it yourself." ”
When Jiang Cheng and Chairman Mao determined that the next batch of machinery and equipment were urgently needed, Mr. Zhu smiled like Jasmine with a group of generals at the reorganization site.
When Mr. Zhu came to the generals with a rifle and a machine gun, everyone was stunned.
Mr. Peng, as the vice president, actually knew about these weapons, but when he saw the warehouse that seemed to never be moved, Mr. Peng was still short of breath.
Mr. Peng is like this, not to mention other people, Lin Sanhu is more and more excited, and Luo Ronghuan, who was standing next to him, was almost screamed when he was caught by Lin Sanhu.
Lin Sanhu hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Lao Luo, I'm so excited, look at this machine gun, this cannon, how do I feel that I have seen the heyday of Jinggang Mountain." ”
Luo Ronghuan nodded and said, "Yes, I finally understand why Mr. Zhu has given us so many books that require enough equipment, it turns out that we have so much equipment." ”
On the other side, a short general said, "I don't know where all this equipment comes from." ”
At this time, Mr. Zhu stood on the high platform and said, "Comrades, I know that everyone is very excited to see these equipment, they are very curious, they can be excited, and their curiosity must be put away. And don't get carried away because you are equipped for a while, and do a good job of ideological work below, especially guarding against arrogance and rashness. ”
Soon, the list of army reorganizations began to be published.
As in history, the entire Red Army was reorganized into three divisions.
Commander-in-Chief: Zhu DeDeputy Commander-in-Chief: Peng Dehuai Chief of Staff: Ye JianyingDeputy Chief of Staff: Zuo Quan Chief of Staff: Peng XuefengDirector of the Political Department: Ren Bishi Deputy Director: Deng Xiaoping's subordinate troops: Lin Biao, commander of the 115th Division, Nie Rongzhen, deputy division commander, Zhou Kun, chief of staff, Luo Ronghuan, director of the Political Training Office, and Xiao Hua, deputy director; 120th Division Commander He Long, Deputy Division Commander Xiao Ke, Director of the Political Training Office Guan Xiangying, Deputy Director Gan Siqi, Chief of Staff Zhou Shidi, Chief of Staff Peng Shaohui, 129th Division Commander Liu Bocheng, Deputy Division Commander Xu Xiangqian, Director of the Political Training Office Zhang Hao, Deputy Director Song Renqiang, Chief of Staff Ni Zhiliang, Chief of Staff Li Da; Xiao Jinguang, commander and political commissar of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Left-behind Corps of the General Headquarters Special Service Corps, Cao Lihuai, chief of staff, Mo Wenhua, director of the Political Department, and the intelligence department followed the cadres of each division and unit to quickly arrive in place and began to reorganize the troops. 15,000 in total. In addition, the 115th Division had an ad hoc independent regiment.
In order to average the strength of the army, four regiments under the three divisions, two regiments are German-style ordnance, and two regiments are Soviet weapons (modern weapons), and all the weapons that have been replaced are equipped to the left-behind corps, and the main task of the left-behind corps in the early stage is to suppress bandits and train soldiers, so the equipment that has been redressed can be completely coped, and the special service regiment is all prepared with Soviet weapons (modern weapons).
When everyone got the German weapon, they were already very happy, looking at the brand-new Mauser rifle and a water machine gun, they were all excited, and when they found that the rifle was also equipped with a bayonet, it was simply serious, you know, there are not hundreds of bayonets in a division of the army now. In order to strengthen their hand-to-hand combat ability, many people went to the battlefield with large swords and spears.
Indeed, it is really hand-to-hand combat, broadsword and spear are more convenient, but no one will really only fight with you hand-to-hand, most of them are first shot and then hand-to-hand combat, many people in later generations think that the Japanese will return the bullet when they fight, but in fact, that is just a misinformation, the Japanese army does not have the rules for returning the bullet, but if the intensive hand-to-hand combat, it will indeed be closed insurance, and the action is very similar to the withdrawal of the bullet from a distance, so it is false. In hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese also like to use their accurate shots from a distance, and often hit deadly parts such as the heart and brain.
Now with bayonets, it is much more convenient for everyone, and they can also better cooperate with their comrades to form a battle formation.
Lin Sanhu took the rifle and shot two shots, even said that the gun was good, and then began to issue Su weapons, when Lin Sanhu got the Su weapons, he immediately felt that these two guns had their own benefits, the 98K gun of the German weapon was long, and the firepower of sks was fierce, Lin Sanhu couldn't help but think about some tactics, how to better play the strengths of these weapons.
When the cannon was fired, Lin Sanhu looked at the mortars that were carried to his team one by one, and felt like a rich man, and at this time he was very confident that he would fight head-on with the Japanese. When the ammunition was issued, everyone really felt that they had been fired, and the rifle had forty rounds at its disposal, and there were five special instructions to go back and take them for training, where had they ever been so wide.
For a time, the generals of the Red Army, no, it should be said that the Eighth Route Army discussed new tactics and how to use these equipment. At that time, several regiment commanders quarreled over the ownership of new weapons, which made the people around laugh. (To be continued......)
