Chapter 576 Chenguanzhuang (1)
At the Chenguanzhuang front, the biting cold wind whistled across the open fields, stirring up snow all over the sky. After many days of haze, the sky finally cleared up!
This winter is unusually cold, as if nature intends to test the will and endurance of the warriors on both sides.
The earth has long been covered with thick snow. Looking around, the silver-white world looks like a fairyland in a fairy tale, but at the same time it also reveals endless coldness and loneliness.
Every step you take will sink you into deep snow pits, making a creaking sound. The trees are dressed in silver, with branches covered with crystal clear icicles, some pointing straight to the sky like sharp swords, and some as round and lovely as jade beads.
The 1st Battle Group Headquarters was indeed very hot.
The cook cooked a mutton hotpot for everyone today.
Ding Shan, Sun Wei, and Wu Feng were feasting on the hot pot.
Sun Wei couldn't help but ask,
"We have been surrounded for more than ten days, and we have not attacked. What does the higher-ups mean now?"
Wu Feng said,
"Who knows? However, the hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang soldiers in Chenguanzhuang are now at a dead end. They are isolated and helpless. They can either surrender or die in battle. There are only these two options!"
Ding Shan ate his mutton and muttered,
"During the last meeting, I heard that this time we are trying to lure him into surrender. Let's starve him for a few days first!"
Guolou Village,
In a military tent,
Orderly soldier Jia Donghui and several of his comrades huddled on the ground, wearing only a thin military blanket.
Starting today, the two meals a day will be changed to one meal, and you can only eat one meal at noon!
But this meal still disappointed Jia Donghui, it was still thin porridge!
He hadn't had a full meal for three days. Now Jia Donghui didn't want to move at all. He felt dizzy as soon as he moved. He felt very uncomfortable!
These Kuomintang soldiers were tightly surrounded in a small area centered on the town of Chenguanzhuang. They had been trapped for a long time, and food was already in short supply. Their cotton clothes were not enough to resist the bone-chilling cold. They were pale and thin, shivering.
Inside the encirclement, there were more than 30 Kuomintang troops crowded together, with tents made of various materials. The air was filled with smoke and strange sights. Those who knew about it said it was a big battlefield, while those who didn't mistakenly thought it was a bustling market.
There were not enough houses here, but stalls were everywhere. On the stalls were all kinds of clothes, food, cigarettes, canned food, watches, all kinds of gold rings and bracelets, as well as pistols, knives and many other military supplies...
The prices are outrageous.
A cigarette costs one dollar, a can of food costs five dollars, and a bottle of wine costs ten dollars!
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air, and several planes flew in from a distance, circling overhead.
On the ground, people setting up stalls and strolling around had a hint of fear in their numb eyes. They subconsciously thought that a bombing was going to happen. However, they soon discovered that what was floating down from the plane were not bombs, but yellow leaflets.
The leaflets fluttered down like snowflakes, swirling in the strong wind, and slowly landed in the camps, trenches, and in front of every soldier.
"Comrades and soldiers of the Chiang Kai-shek Army:
You have 48 hours to surrender! Otherwise, we will launch an unprecedented high-intensity airstrike and artillery bombardment! Please stop resisting in vain! You are surrounded and there is no way out! Put down your weapons and come over for as much meat buns as you can! "The big words on the leaflet stood out against the yellow paper.
Some soldiers picked up the leaflets, their hands shaking from the cold. They looked at the words on the leaflets with complicated expressions in their eyes. Some showed hesitation, as if they were thinking about the contents of the leaflets; some had blank expressions, as if they had lost hope in everything; and some stubborn elements angrily tore up the leaflets and threw them on the ground.
Jia Donghui also saw the leaflets. He really wanted to surrender because he could not bear the hunger any more. After all, he was a soldier and ate food, so it didn't matter who he followed.
But he had nowhere to go. The place where they were stationed was surrounded by tents, and he couldn't see the Communist troops at all!
In the midst of the snow, the surrender leaflets were like seeds of hope, sowing the seeds of doubt in the hearts of the enemy soldiers. Some soldiers began to gather together secretly to discuss the possibility of surrender. They knew that if they continued to resist, they would only die; but if they surrendered, they might still have a glimmer of hope.
Finally, before nightfall, a small group of enemy soldiers holding white flags slowly walked out of the trenches, with tired and relieved looks on their faces, and walked towards the Communist positions.
And this was just the beginning. On this snowy night, more enemy soldiers, influenced by the surrender leaflets, made the right choice, laid down their weapons, and started a new life.
Mulan City Government,
in the office,
Yin Xinjun looked at the bus production line drawings that had already been drawn in the space, and felt a little anxious. Now due to insufficient staff, the bus project could not be launched! After thinking about it, he thought he could do something first and try to prepare in advance!
Yin Xinjun picked up the phone on the table.
The director of the Construction Bureau, Wang Shuigen, was called.
"Shui Gen, are there any general factories left?"
"Mayor, how much area do you want?"
“At least 1 square meters!”
The so-called general factory building has a standard of 6-8 meters in net height, a steel structure greenhouse, water, electricity, heating, and equipped with a crane!
Because most industrial manufacturing companies can place equipment in this type of factory,
This type of factory building can be built quickly and trucks can pass through it.
In order to speed up the progress of the factory, Yin Xinjun asked the Construction Bureau to build a batch of general factory buildings every year. This way, once there is a project that needs to be launched, there is no need to spend time on building houses!
Because we can’t build houses in Northeast China for 4-5 months in winter, the only things that are not affected are indoor factories!
Wang Shuigen couldn't remember clearly, because quite a few factories of this type were built last year and this year. He explained apologetically and went back to the office to get another notebook.
After flipping through the book, he said,
"Yes, Tonghe County also has a general factory building, five of which are over 2,000 square meters each!"
"Well, then, stay with me. It's just right for setting up a car transmission factory. I'll have someone contact you to get the keys later! This year, our Mulan's focus is to develop the automobile industry, especially civilian cars!"
Yin Xinjun has decided to officially start the layout of the automotive industry chain segmentation this year. Due to the high technical difficulty of the transmission, the outsourcing bid failed twice. There is no other choice but to do it himself!
He decided to concentrate all the transmissions for more than ten kinds of military and civilian vehicles into one production! A transmission factory was established. This factory did not need many workers. The more than 9 workers in the No. workshop of the tank area of the Mulan Arsenal were specialized in the production of transmissions. He simply transferred a group of them to specialize in this transmission!
Wang Shuigen said in surprise,
"That's great. Many engineering bosses I know here want to buy cars, jeeps, etc., but they can't buy any. We don't produce cars, and the number of jeeps for sale is too small! Do you know Liu Dazhi? He was so anxious that he asked someone to buy a second-hand car from Shanghai, and he spent 6,000 yuan!"
Yin Xinjun smiled and said,
"I didn't expect that our special zone would develop so fast, and the roads would be built in all directions! Private cars and public transportation are indeed a bit behind the times! This is our highlight this year! By the way, Shuigen, we will continue to build 10 square meters of general-purpose factory buildings this year, in case there is any emergency!"
"Okay, Mayor!"
Yin Xinjun picked up the phone on the table and called Zhao Taihua at the Arsenal.
"Deputy Director Zhao, the Tonghe Transmission Factory in Mulan Special Zone is about to be established. You should select a group of workers from the tank factory to serve as the backbone of the transmission factory! All the personnel must be in place within ten days. I require this factory to be put into production within two months!"
"Director, I'm afraid that the production of tanks will be delayed. You know about the urgent orders from the Military Commission recently. The Northwest Field Army alone urgently ordered 60 Panzer IV tanks, 100 armored vehicles, and 500 trucks! These orders are being urged almost every day!"
"Well, then, how about this? Wait until Xiye finishes this batch of orders, and then select 50 workers and cadres to build the framework of the transmission factory!"
"Okay, don't worry, I understand!"
Zhao Taihua was actually mentally prepared. Yin Xinjun had mentioned to him the idea of converting military vehicles into civilian vehicles many times. It's just that the demand from various troops is too great at present and the production line is too busy!
After all, the war in the whole country has not ended yet, and only the Northeast has temporarily gained peace! Civilian goods can only give way to military goods!
