No matter how much Wang Tiancheng cursed and swore, Bai Yi could not hear it. At this moment, he, Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang were listening to the driver telling them the latest news about the national situation. While they were on the road, Liao Shen The battle ended victoriously and the entire Northeast was liberated.

At the same time, Huaye and Zhongye, located in the Central Plains region, jointly launched the Huaihai Campaign on a larger scale. Because of this, the central government instructed the newly liberated Northeastern region to assume the role of safeguarding the rear area and the large granary. Support brother troops on other battlefields to achieve victory.

"So, these days, we are even busier than when Northeast China was liberated. We are rushing to make quilts, sew military uniforms, transport food, and, by the way, we also produce our own guns and ammunition, especially those large-caliber artillery shells. It’s as thick as a thigh at least, and they’re all transported into the pass one by one. If all of them hit the enemy’s head, I can guarantee that it will be enough for those guys to drink a pot…”

The talkative driver muttered with uncontrollable joy on his face, as did Bai Yi and others. After all, victory is something worth celebrating for every soldier. Even if they are thousands of kilometers apart, they can still win. Feel the military glory spreading from the bone marrow.

Just like this, a few people kept talking about the national situation, and time seemed to fly so fast. A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. When a few people were still unfinished, the gray-white gate engraved with the traditional Chinese characters of Baiyun Arsenal suddenly stood out. Appearing in front of everyone, Bai Yi and others said goodbye to the driver, and walked into the arsenal that had just been liberated half a year ago with cautious and curious eyes.

When setting off from the front line, the superior introduced some information about the Baiyun Factory to Bai Yi. This arsenal was built during the Fengtian period of Zhang Zuolin. At the beginning, it was only used as a supplement to the Shencheng Fengtian Ordnance Factory, mainly producing some low-end light weapons such as rifle bullets; After September 18th, the Baiyun Factory was occupied by the Japanese, and it was initially used as a supplement to the Fengtian Ordnance Factory.

However, with the gradual expansion of Japan's war of aggression against China, especially the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army's demand for arms increased day by day. It was far from being able to meet the demand with just a few large military factories in the mainland and Northeast China, so it chose a few large military factories with good foundations. Small and medium-sized arms factories have been renovated and expanded to increase arms production.

At this time, the Baiyun Factory came into the sight of the Japanese military, and immediately began a large-scale reconstruction and expansion project in early 1942, adding smelting, forging, machinery, assembly and other production equipment, and the production workshop was expanded from the original two to eight and relying on the rich mineral deposits in the central and eastern part of Northeast China and the abundant power of the Fengman Hydropower Station that has just been put into operation to form a complete military production industry chain cluster.

By the end of 1943, the Baiyun Factory had grown from a small-scale ordnance factory that could only produce rifle bullets to a large-scale factory that could independently produce bullets, grenades, mortar shells, firearms, mortars, large-caliber howitzer shells and many other categories of weapons. Comprehensive arsenal.

However, the "gorgeous transformation" of Baiyun Factory was only short-lived after all. As Japan retreated in all major battlefields, the original rear area was frequently bombed by the Allied forces, especially the military industrial enterprises that supported the army's operations, and even the heavy Allied forces. A key target for bombers.

The Baiyun Factory was no exception. Starting in 1944, the U.S. Air Force stationed in China frequently bombed the Baiyun Factory. A large number of factories and machinery were blown up. Just one year later, the Soviet Union sent troops to the Northeast to destroy the enemy in the Northeast.

The Japanese Kwantung Army was swept away.

The Baiyun Factory thus fell into the hands of the Soviet Union. The Soviets had only one policy towards the industrial and mining enterprises of the belligerent countries, which was to leave them empty. Therefore, nearly a thousand sets of intact precision machinery from the Baiyun Factory were installed on two hundred trains by the Soviet Union.

All the rest were moved back to the Soviet Union. When the Soviets handed over the Baiyun Factory to the then National Government, the Baiyun Factory had become a veritable empty shell.

However, although the Baiyun Factory only had a shelf at this time, a large number of skilled workers were still there. The surrounding mines and water and electricity were still in good condition, and the basic hardware of some factories could still be used. In addition, the Soviet Union was under pressure from many parties.

, did not do anything too bad, and even returned some of the machinery and equipment afterwards. As long as the National Government can work hard and operate well, it may not be impossible for Baiyun Factory to rise again.

It's a pity that the top leaders of the National Government at that time were only focused on the civil war, and the big bosses with different agendas were all looking desperately for "money". At that time, foreign goods that were in short supply were the most profitable business, so the National Government

The big bosses are too lazy to pay attention to Baiyun Factory, which only spends money but does not make money, and devote all their energy to the business of buying and selling.

Of course, among the officials in charge of military production in the National Government, there were not all people who understood. The report on the restoration of Baiyun Factory was also sent upwards. But after waiting for a while, what was waiting was a report issued by a junior of a certain big boss.

There is a long import list, and the price quoted is even more staggering.

Anyone with a discerning eye will understand at a glance. This is the money that the big guys want. If they can't get it, there is no need to talk about it. Thank God that the military industry department of the Republic of China government can maintain its current basic base. There is no extra money.

For the bosses to eat? So the matter of restoring the Baiyun Factory was dropped.

As a result, it could only maintain the minimum operation, and this also reduced the Baiyun Factory to a low-end factory that could only produce bullets. So when our army attacked the Baiyun Factory half a year ago, the enemy escaped without much resistance because

This ostentatious arsenal has long been useless to the enemy, so it would not be a pity to throw it away.

But our army felt like a treasure. We must know that although our army also had a considerable scale of arsenal at that time, if we take a closer look, it was only at the level of a workshop at best. Like Baiyun Factory, it had sufficient power supply and

With the surrounding supply of raw materials and its own good foundation, for our army, it is simply a good factory that cannot be found even with a lantern.

Because of this, after learning that the Baiyun Factory was liberated, Dongye dispatched a large number of experienced cadres and technicians to the Baiyun Factory. While inspecting the remaining mechanical equipment and factory buildings, he also reorganized the original team of workers in the Baiyun Factory. Less than one

Within months, the Baiyun Factory, which had almost ceased production, resumed production.

At the same time, Dongye purchased urgently needed machinery and equipment through various channels to resume production at the Baiyun Factory. With Dongye's support, in less than half a year, the Baiyun Factory had restored half of its peak production capacity, including all

The produced bullets, grenades, mortar shells and even large-caliber artillery shells directly supported the just-concluded Liaoshen Campaign and became the key to our army's victory over the enemy.

It's just that due to the limitations of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the Baiyun Factory had to be classified as a confidential unit by Dongye. Let alone ordinary soldiers, even the commander of the main division of the field force may not know the existence of this factory. There is no other way to do this. Although our army

It has an absolute advantage in the Northeast and may even liberate the entire Northeast.

But there are still a large number of enemy agents. Among other things, Wang Tiancheng, who just suffered a big loss at Daoyan Ridge, is one of them. What's more, the enemy's air force has always been eyeing our army's important military industrial targets, so as long as the Baiyun Factory

If the enemy discovers that it has the ability to produce on a large scale, it will inevitably destroy it at all costs.

Therefore, when Dongye placed Baiyun Factory under direct control, it also took a lot of confidentiality measures. Bai Yi and the others were no exception. When they were resting in the local area, they only notified their XX troops to replace them, but did not disclose the specific location and location.

As for his job, he was injured and could not reach Baiyun Factory, nor could he use local vehicles. Instead, Baiyun Factory sent a vehicle to take him back to the factory. The so-called purpose was to keep the secret of Baiyun Factory's mass production.

Due to various reasons, only Bai Yi knew this. Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang were not aware of it. Therefore, Bai Yi and others did not enter the factory immediately, but passed several levels. The certificate issued by Dongye Command was even more

After inspection after inspection, he was allowed to enter the factory, which made Lao Ge and Chen Yaoyang a little unbelievable.

In Lao Ge's words, even if he went to the column headquarters to report the situation, it would not have been so troublesome. But when he heard Bai Yi's reasons, the two of them nodded in realization. Soon, Chen Yaoyang looked excited.

Needless to say, he had always been in favor of being transferred to the arsenal, but now it was his lifelong wish to join a large factory of this size.

As for Lao Ge, after learning about the irreplaceable and huge role of Baiyun Factory, he no longer regretted being sent to the frontier. Instead, he was a little eager to try, ready to live the addiction of the hero behind the scenes. In his words, he would see him again in the future.

Former comrades-in-arms could proudly point to their ammunition pouches, pat their chests and show off: "I made all your ammunition, so your contribution to killing the enemy is half as much as mine!"

Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang were so blatantly pretending to be slapped in the face by Lao Ge that their heads were full of black lines. Each of them acted as if they didn't know him and stayed far away from Lao Ge. This made Lao Ge very confused.

He kept chasing after the butts of the two people and asked

What exactly was this dream like? Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang were speechless. Fortunately, at this moment, a cadre in his thirties walked towards them. He immediately fixed his gaze on Bai Yi and asked gently: "

You must be Comrade Bai Yi!"

"I am Bai Yi, who are you?"

"My name is Dong Bin. Director Lin asked me to pick you up. He is waiting for you in the office now!" Dong Bin said and stretched out his hand. Bai Yi naturally went up to him, shook hands with Dong Bin, and walked all the way.

After exchanging pleasantries, he followed Dong Bin towards the office of Lin Bo, director of the Military Control Committee of Baiyun Factory...

At this time, in Lin Bo's office, a female soldier with two ponytails was making a report to Lin Bo, who was sitting behind the desk. After the female soldier finished speaking, Lin Bo nodded deeply.

Nodding: "Well, it seems that the enemy has targeted you. You will stay in the factory during this period. As for the introduction of machinery and equipment, I will leave it to Lao Zhao and the others."

"If I don't go, I'm afraid..."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Machinery is dead, but people are alive. I don't want to take risks anymore and end up losing a lot for a small amount. You must know that you, Comrade Jing Lin, are the backbone of our Baiyun Factory. I, Old Lin, can't lose much."

Get up!"

The female soldier with a ponytail was none other than Li Jinglin, who had been rescued by Bai Yi and others at the Eyes of Eyes Ridge. After listening to Lin Bo's words, Li Jinglin pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but Lin Bo reached out to stop her.

He immediately changed the subject: "That's it for now. Oh, by the way, you happen to be here today, so I can introduce you to someone!"

"Introduce someone?" Li Jinglin looked at Lin Bo with some confusion, but as soon as she said these words, the door of the office rang with a "dong~~dong~~dong~~", and Lin Bo immediately pointed at the door.
