Chapter 639 The Second Large Steel Factory

In mid-November, the weather has gradually turned cold.

It has been many days since Zhang Yunfei returned to Datong from Chenyang. After the 36th Army recovered Chenyang, Zhang Yunfei ordered that the seven columns of Chenyang, except for the 1st Columns who stayed in Chenyang, the other six columns left Chenyang after a day of rest, they all came out of Chenyang and successively recovered the other major cities in Liaoning.

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

The 4th Column and the ** Division of Siping also attacked everywhere, restoring many nearby counties and towns. Now to the south of Ping, at least one-third of the entire northeastern area has been restored by the 36th Army.

Although during this period, hundreds of thousands of troops of the 36th Army attacked everywhere and restored a lot of territory, not many Japanese devils were annihilated, only 20,000 to 30,000 people.

These Japanese devils are basically second-rate garrison troops in major cities and towns. They have low combat effectiveness and are mostly annihilated by the soldiers on the spot.

There were not many Japanese devils that were annihilated, but there were many members of the Second Japanese and Japanese pioneer regiments who captured them. Nearly 100,000 Japanese devils from the Puppet Manchukuo were captured by the soldiers.

The two Japanese devils in the puppet Manchukuo were not as good as those of the Japanese garrison troops. As soon as they exchanged fire with the soldiers, they were defeated by the soldiers and they all put down their weapons and surrendered.

The Japanese pioneer groups located in the vast rural areas of Liaoning have a large number of people. The Japanese in the three eastern provinces have nearly one million Japanese troops, including at least hundreds of thousands of strong labor force.

This time, the 36th Army almost restored the entire territory of Liaoning, and captured 200,000 members of the Japanese pioneer regiment, of which more than 100,000 were strong laborers.

During this period, in addition to restoring a large amount of territory and capturing a large number of Japanese devils and Japanese, the 36th Army also transported a large amount of military supplies to Chenyang.

Now, the railway from Qinhuangdao to Chenyang has basically been restored, and the train has continuously transported a large amount of supplies to Chenyang.

These days, Zhang Yunfei has a rare leisure time. During this period, Zhang Yunfei spent a lot of time with Lin Yuxin. Even Jiang Xiaoying often took time to accompany Lin Yuxin.

Now, Jiang Xiaoying and Lin Yuxin have a very good relationship and can talk about everything. This makes Zhang Yunfei a little jealous. Many of the two women's whispers are all behind Zhang Yunfei's back.

In addition, Guo Xiang often comes here and is already very familiar with the two girls. At present, Guo Xiang has become a regular visitor to Zhang Yunfei's family. Almost every day, Guo Xiang often comes to see Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying, and of course, he also takes a look at Zhang Yunfei who he likes.

Guo Xiang often comes over, and the relationship between the two girls and Guo Xiang is getting better and better. Two days ago, Lin Yuxin even ordered the servant to clean up a room for Guo Xiang, asking Guo Xiang to come and stay there often and chat with him.

Datong, the 36th Army Command.

Early this morning, Zhang Yunfei walked into the command hall with a refreshing spirit. Zhang Yunfei first read the telegrams sent back by the front-line troops, then looked at the map and learned about 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 restore the vast land in the northeast, which is very smooth. We should also formulate the next combat plan."

"Well! I have this idea too." Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of staff, immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief, we will formulate the next combat plan as soon as possible."

Zhang Yunfei nodded and asked, "Have we sent a message from the special forces members lurking in Changchun, who is the new commander of the Kwantung Army?"

Zuo Qingquan shook his head, "There is no news yet, but I think there should be news soon. The Japanese cannot delay this matter for too long."

At present, the Japanese are preparing to reorganize a new Kanto Army headquarters in Changchun. The current Japanese Kanto Army still has more than 400,000 people, and it is still a huge team. Without the headquarters, the Japanese will lose effective command and it will be difficult to resist the attack of the 36th Army.

In Changchun, several special operations teams were lurking, with their main task being to inquire about intelligence and find out the situation of the Japanese. When the Japanese first formed a new Kwantung Army headquarters in Changchun, the special operations team members knew about it and immediately reported the situation to the 36th Army Command.

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

Comrade Fang Zheng next to him was looking at several reports. Fang Zheng was very happy that the front-line troops captured so many Japanese devils and Japanese.

Now, the entire 36th Army base is increasingly building. Comrade Fang Zheng, who is responsible for the construction of the base, hopes that the more prisoners captured by the soldiers, the better.

After reading the report in his hand, Comrade Fang Zheng said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, we have captured so many Japanese and Japanese in the Northeast this time. How can we deal with these people?"

If it were all strong labor, Comrade Fang Zheng would have dealt with it himself, but among these prisoners, there were many Japanese children and elderly people involved.

These Japanese children and elderly people are all from the Japanese pioneer groups. Members of the Japanese pioneer groups have moved from Japan to Northeast China. Now, with the restoration of large areas of land in the Northeast, many Japanese have become prisoners.

After listening to Fang Zheng's request, Zhang Yunfei pondered. According to the information, the Japanese immigration regiments in Northeast China may have nearly one million. If nothing unexpected happens, with the restoration of the Northeast, these Japanese will basically become prisoners of the 36th Army.

So many prisoners are a good thing for the 36th Army, which means that there are a large amount of free labor. In the future, industrial construction and infrastructure construction will all use a large amount of labor.

Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, then said, "Lao Fang, let's deal with this. The captured Japanese, who are between 16 and 60 years old, are all forced labor regardless of men and women. What remains are some Japanese children and elderly people. All of them are imprisoned and sent back to Japan when we win the War of Resistance Against Japan."

"As for these two Japanese devils, for us, they are all strong labor force and are forced to work for two years. Of course, what should we do if we do evil things in normal times? For ordinary Japanese devils, when forced labor, we also have to send a team to educate them. I hope that in two years, they can become Chinese people again."

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's instructions, Comrade Fang Zheng immediately said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, I will follow your instructions. Now that we have at least two or three hundred thousand laborers."

So much labor force is also a construction army for the 36th Army, and it is necessary to build roads and factories.

Zhang Yunfei nodded and continued: "Lao Fang, this time we have these two, 300,000 free laborers. We need to plan to build a large steel factory in the Northeast. The construction of the steel factory can draw some people from these laborers."

"Yes!" Anyway, I immediately answered respectfully, "Commander-in-Chief, I will send someone to choose a site and build our second large steel plant."

Liaoning has a large amount of iron ore and coal resources, which is very suitable for building large steel plants, such as Anshan and Benxi near Liaoning. Zhang Yunfei knew this.

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

The base area of ​​the 36th Army is becoming increasingly vast, with the construction of railways, bridges, etc., the construction of major factories, and the construction of various infrastructures, and the demand for steel is also increasing.

Although Baotou Steel Plant has now completed the construction of the second phase of the project, its production capacity has expanded several times compared to the original one, and its annual steel production has reached the 800,000 tons mark, making it one of the largest steel plants in Asia, this is far from enough.

The construction of a second large steel plant is imminent. Now, with the restoration of Shenyang, there is a large amount of free labor. In addition, Anshan and Benxi, not far from Shenyang, have rich resources.

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

Zhang Yunfei has a long-term vision and builds a second large steel factory near Shenyang. The high-quality steel produced can be supplied to major factories in Shenyang nearby.

In this way, the major factories in Shenyang will have sufficient steel resources to utilize. In no time, a huge industrial base centered on Shenyang will be formed.

By then, Datong, Taiyuan, and Shenyang will be like three carriages, pulling the 36th Army to develop rapidly.

Sure enough, shortly after Zhang Yunfei instructed Founder to build a second large steel plant, just over a dozen days ago, Founder chose a site to build a large steel plant in Anshan. The first phase of construction was completed, and the annual production capacity would reach 500,000 tons. The second phase of construction was completed, and the production capacity would exceed the one million tons mark.

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 Japanese to serve as free labor to participate in the large-scale construction of the steel plant.

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

In the morning, Zhang Yunfei not only assigned tasks to Comrade Fang Zheng in the command center, but also instructed the Left Chief of Staff to formulate a combat plan for the next stage as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei came to the command center again. Shortly after he arrived at the command center, Zhang Yunfei received important news, which was also a piece of news that Zhang Yunfei was eager to know.
