Chapter 639 The Second Large Iron and Steel Plant

By mid-November, the weather was getting colder.

It had been many days since Zhang Yunfei returned to Datong from Shenyang, and after the 36 th Group Army recovered Shenyang, Zhang Yunfei ordered that the seven major columns in Shenyang, except for the first column, stayed in Shenyang, and the remaining six major columns left Shenyang one after another to recover the rest of the major cities in Liaoning.

Up to now, the entire territory of Liaoning has basically been recovered, and the major columns are heading north, preparing to attack Changchun.

Siping's 4th Column and Independent Division also attacked in all directions, recovering many nearby county towns and towns, and at least one-third of the area south of Ping, the entire northeast, has been recovered by the 36th Group Army.

Although, during this period of time, hundreds of thousands of troops of the 36th Group Army attacked everywhere and recovered a lot of territory, but there were not many little devils annihilated, only 20,000 or 30,000.

These little devils are basically second-rate garrisons in major cities and towns, with low combat effectiveness, and most of them are annihilated on the spot by the soldiers.

There are not many little devils annihilated, but there are many captured two devils and members of the Japanese pioneer group, and the two devils of the puppet Manchukuo were captured by the soldiers Nearly 100,000.

The two devils of the puppet Manchukuo, whose combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the garrison of the little devils, were defeated by the soldiers as soon as they exchanged fire with the soldiers, and they laid down their arms and surrendered.

The number of little devils in the vast rural areas of Liaoning is very large, and the small Japan of the little devils in the entire three eastern provinces has reached nearly one million, of which the strong labor force is at least several hundred thousand.

This time, the 36th Group Army recovered almost the entire territory of Liaoning, and captured 200,000 or 300,000 members of the small Japanese pioneer regiment, including more than 100,000 strong laborers.

During this period, in addition to recovering a large amount of territory and capturing a large number of Second Devils and Little Japan, the 36th Group Army also transported a large amount of military supplies to Shenyang.

Now, the railway from Qinhuangdao to Shenyang has basically been repaired, and the train has continuously transported a large number of materials to Shenyang.

In the past few days, Zhang Yunfei has been rare and idle, during this period of time, Zhang Yunfei has spent a lot of time accompanying Lin Yuxin, even Jiang Xiaoying, and often finds time to accompany Lin Yuxin.

Now, Jiang Xiaoying and Lin Yuxin have an excellent relationship, and they have nothing to talk about, which makes Zhang Yunfei a little jealous, and a lot of whispers between the two girls are behind Zhang Yunfei's back.

In addition, Guo Xiang also comes over often, and the two girls are already very familiar, at present, Guo Xiang has become a frequent visitor to Zhang Yunfei's house, almost every day, Guo Xiang has to come over to see Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying, of course, by the way, also take a look at his favorite Zhang Yunfei.

Guo Xiang often comes over, and the relationship between the two daughters and Guo Xiang is getting better and better, two days ago, Lin Yuxin instructed the maid to clean up a room for Guo Xiang, asking Guo Xiang to come and live often, and chat with him by the way.

Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.

Early this morning, Zhang Yunfei walked into the command hall refreshed, and Zhang Yunfei first read a few telegrams sent back by various units on the front line, and then looked at the map to understand the location and movements of each column.

Then, Zhang Yunfei said to Comrade Zuo Qingquan next to him: "Old Zuo! Our columns are following our instructions to recover the vast land in the northeast, and it is very smooth, and it is time for us to formulate the next battle plan. ”

"Hmmm! I also have this idea. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, immediately said: "Commander-in-chief, we will draw up a battle plan for the next step as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded, and then asked: "Did our special combat team members lurking in Changchun send a message, who is the new commander of the Kwantung Army who is the little devil?" ”

Zuo Qingquan shook his head, "There is no news yet, but I think there should be news soon, this matter, the little devil can't delay it for too long." ”

At present, the little devil is preparing to reorganize the new Kwantung Army headquarters in Changchun, and the current Japanese Kwantung Army, which still has more than 400,000 people, is still a huge contingent, and if there is no headquarters, the little devil will lose its effective command, and it will be difficult to resist the attack of the 36th Group Army.

In Changchun, several special operations detachments were lurking, and their main task was to find out the situation of the little devils, and as soon as the little devils set up a new Kwantung Army headquarters in Changchun, the special combat members knew about it and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters of the 36th Group Army.

The little devil quickly formed a new Kwantung Army Command, Zhang Yunfei was not surprised at all, Zhang Yunfei just wanted to know who the little devil would be the commander of the Kwantung Army.

Comrade Fang Zheng next to him was looking at several reports, and Fang Zheng was very happy that the troops on the front line had captured so many two devils and little Japan.

At present, the entire base area of the 36th Group Army is being built on a large scale in more and more places, and Comrade Fang Zheng, who is in charge of the construction of the base area, hopes that the more prisoners will be captured by the fighters, the better.

After reading the reports in his hand, Comrade Fang Zheng said happily: "Commander-in-chief, this time we have captured so many two devils and little Japan in the northeast, how can we deal with these people." ”

If it was all strong laborers, Comrade Fang Zheng would have dealt with it himself a long time ago, but among these captives, there were also many Japanese children and old people.

These Japanese children and old people were all members of the Little Japanese Pioneer Groups, and the members of the Little Japanese Pioneer Groups all migrated from Japan to Northeast China with their families, and now, with the recovery of a large area of land in Northeast China, many Japanese have become prisoners.

After listening to Fang Zheng's instructions, Zhang Yunfei pondered, according to intelligence, there may be nearly one million immigrants from the pioneer group in Northeast China, and if nothing else, with the recovery of Northeast China, these small Japan will basically become prisoners of the 36th Group Army.

The fact that there were so many prisoners was a good thing for the 36th Army, which meant that there was a large amount of free labor, which would be used in the future industrial construction and infrastructure construction.

Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, and then said: "Lao Fang, let's deal with it like this, these captured little Japanese, between the ages of 16 and 60, regardless of men and women, are all subjected to forced labor, and the rest are some Japanese children and old people, all of whom are imprisoned and sent back to Japan after our victory in the Anti-Japanese War." ”

"As for these two devils, for us, they are all strong laborers, all of them have been forced to work for two years, of course, how to deal with those who usually do a lot of evil, how to deal with it or how to deal with it, for ordinary two devils, when they are forced to work, we also have to send a task force to enter the field for education, hoping that after two years, they can be upright and upright to be Chinese."

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's instructions, Comrade Fang Zheng immediately said happily and loudly: "Commander-in-chief, I will carry out your instructions, and now we have at least 200,000 or 300,000 laborers." ”

With so much labor, the 36th Army was also a construction army, which was needed for the construction of roads and factories.

Zhang Yunfei nodded, and then said: "Old Fang, this time we have these two or three hundred thousand free laborers, and we want to plan to build a large steel plant in the northeast, and the construction of the steel plant can draw some people from these laborers." ”

"Yes!" Anyway, he immediately replied respectfully, "Commander-in-chief, I will immediately send someone to select a site to build our second large steel plant." ”

Liaoning has a large number of iron ore resources and coal resources, which are very suitable for the construction of large iron and steel plants, such as Anshan and Benxi near Liaoning, Zhang Yunfei knows this.

In addition, with the armament of a large number of cars, artillery and tanks of the 36th Army, the demand for high-quality steel is also increasing.

The base area of the 36th Group Army is becoming more and more vast, and the construction of railways, bridges, etc., the construction of major factories, and the construction of various infrastructure facilities have also increased the demand for steel.

Although Baotou Iron and Steel Plant has now completed the construction of the second phase of the project, the production capacity has expanded several times compared with the beginning, and the annual steel output has approached the 800,000-ton mark, becoming one of the largest steel mills in Asia, but this is far from enough.

The construction of a second large-scale steel plant is imminent, and now, with the recovery of Shenyang, there is a large number of free labor, in addition, Anshan and Benxi, which are not far from Shenyang, have abundant resources.

The time is fully ripe for the construction of a second large steel plant.

Zhang Yunfei has a long-term vision to build a second large-scale steel plant near Shenyang, producing high-quality steel that can be supplied to major factories in Shenyang nearby.

In this way, Shenyang's major factories will have sufficient steel resources to utilize, and it will not be long before a huge industrial base with Shenyang as the center will be formed.

At that time, the three major industrial bases of Datong, Taiyuan, and Shenyang will be like three carriages, pulling the rapid development of the 36th Group Army.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Yunfei instructed Founder to build a second large-scale steel plant, just a dozen days, Founder chose to build a large-scale steel plant in Anshan, the first phase of construction was completed, the annual production capacity will reach 500,000 tons, and the second phase of the project construction is completed, and the production capacity will exceed one million tons.

In order to ensure the smooth construction of this steel plant, Founder not only dispatched a large number of engineering and technical personnel, but also dispatched tens of thousands of small Japanese to serve as free labor to participate in the construction of the steel plant.

Of course, the large-scale construction of the steel plant is naturally a later story.

In the morning, Zhang Yunfei not only assigned tasks to Comrade Fang Zheng at the headquarters, but also instructed Chief of Staff Zuo to draw up a battle plan for the next stage as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei came to the headquarters again, and not long after arriving at the headquarters, Zhang Yunfei received important news, which was also a news that Zhang Yunfei was eager to know.

Today's three watches, the first one is sent, ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for subscriptions.
