Chapter 528 New Year's Eve (1)
New Year's Eve,
Mulan Arsenal,
Aircraft area,
In the huge steel-structured greenhouse workshop, bright lights illuminate every corner.
Hundreds of workers, dressed in work clothes and wearing helmets, walked hurriedly and steadily. Skilled craftsmen held tools and worked attentively in front of huge metal frames. Sparks flew, electric welders emitted dazzling light, and metal was cut and welded at high temperatures, emitting scorching heat.
The crane on top of the greenhouse hums back and forth, lifting large metal structures here and there!
Fighter jet wings being made here!
After hearing Yin Xinjun's explanation, the heads of the headquarters were all shocked.
Mulan Special Zone changes almost every day, there is good news every day, and I feel refreshed every time I come here!
"Comrade Yin Xinjun, you said there are more than 600 workers in this workshop alone?"
Yin Xinjun showed a resolute look on his face.
"My dear leaders, there are currently 32 workshops in operation in the entire aircraft zone, with a total of 1.1 workers. With the strong support of the headquarters, I have decided to spare no expense, regardless of cost, to build the aircraft before August this year!"
The reason why he chose August was because he knew that the Liaoshen Campaign would start in September, and that would be the time for the air force to officially appear on the stage!
"Now the Northeast Aviation School in Mudanjiang is also actively training pilots. If we have our own air force, the progress of the Liberation War will definitely be greatly accelerated!"
"Over the past year or so, we have not only gained an absolute advantage and compressed the enemy into three isolated cities, Jinzhou, Shenyang, and Changchun, but our military industry has also developed rapidly. Victory is just around the corner!"
"Alas, it has been 1921 years since the founding of the Party in 27. How many comrades have sacrificed their lives to achieve today's achievements! How great it would be if they could see this!"
"Don't worry, tomorrow will be even better!"
After visiting the arsenal, the group took a car to the tank base.
Today, the chief specially sat in a jeep with Yin Xinjun. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about some difficult problem on the way. He didn't say a word for a long time.
After a full ten minutes of silence, he suddenly asked,
"Yin Xinjun, the enemy in Northeast China is now concentrated in Changchun, Shenyang, and Jinzhou. If it were you, how would you respond next?"
Yin Xinjun, who was holding the steering wheel, was stunned and said without thinking,
"Attack Jinzhou!"
He was secretly wondering in his heart. The leader seemed to be in a bad mood when he saw him today, as if he was worried about something. He was also a little puzzled. Wasn't the Liaoshen Campaign in September? Why was he asking this now?
The chief said "oh" and asked,
"Why attack Jinzhou first? Why not attack Changchun which is so close?"
Yin Xinjun thought for a moment and said,
“Although we won the Siping Offensive, the city was basically destroyed and many civilians died in the war. Changchun is a big city with many factories, so it would be a pity to destroy it!
Use one part of the army to attack Jinzhou. If we capture Jinzhou, we can block the passage for the enemy troops in Northeast China to retreat to North China. We may force the enemies in Changchun and Shenyang to move out, and take the opportunity to attack the reinforcements in the field. We may even force the enemy troops to surrender or revolt!"
"Oh, what should we do if the enemy from North China moves north? Our current strength in the East China Field Army is not enough to fight two heavy military groups at the same time!"
When Yin Xinjun heard this, he knew that the leader’s personality was cautious and he would not fight a battle without confidence!
“That’s a difficult question indeed!”
Under the circumstances at that time, no one dared to say that the North China Bandit Suppression Headquarters would not send troops to advance east and west!
The chief then said,
"There is another bigger problem. If we leave North Manchuria, can the food transportation be guaranteed? The enemies in Changchun and Shenyang may cut off our food supply at any time!"
Yin Xinjun was speechless and could only say,
"Commander, why don't we wait until our army is equipped with enough tanks and combat vehicles before we start the operation? This way we will have a better chance of success!"
The chief just nodded.
"In recent battles, the 1st Assault Group and the 1st Combat Group under your command have performed well. We will focus on their development in the next step. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I have discussed the level of these two units with other leaders. In the future, their political treatment will be based on the division-level standard!"
Yin Xinjun couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This time, all his brothers were promoted, and he was in charge of two divisions, which was probably equivalent to a column commander!
"Thank you for your support, Chief!"
The chief said slowly,
"Xiao Yin, the production of the arsenal needs to be accelerated. Not only can the gun production line be stopped, but also the artillery production line. Dalian Jianxin can also supply artillery shells. You can focus on making tanks and planes. How and when to fight next? It all depends on how much support you can provide!"
Yin Xinjun knew about the Dalian Arsenal. Currently, the monthly output can reach 3 rounds of artillery shells. Jianxin Company has taken over a total of three chemical plants, four machinery plants and a canning plant in Dalian. The Northeast Bureau and the East China Bureau have invested a total of 5000 million Northeastern currency. In other words, his artillery shells will be provided to both the East Field Army and the East Field Army! Moreover, due to the limitations of raw materials and technology, this factory can only produce mortars at present!
Yin Xinjun immediately assured,
"Don't worry, leader. My plan is, first, to start manufacturing fighter jets before August to ensure that we can control air superiority in the future! Second, before the end of August, we will strive to provide equipment for 8 tank battalions!"
The chief nodded. He was a man of few words, but today he had said a lot for the first time. At this moment, he kept thinking about the telegram sent by the Central Committee the day before yesterday.
"You said in your last telegram that there is no battle to be fought in the Jinzhou direction. What is the situation in that direction? If our army can completely control the Fu, Yi, Xing, Sui, Yu, Chang, and Luan areas, will it be more advantageous to deal with the retreat of Chiang Kai-shek's army? For our army's strategic interests, it is more advantageous to encircle Chiang Kai-shek's army in the Northeast and annihilate them one by one?"
He closed his eyes and began to ponder!
The carriage was silent, with only the occasional sound coming from the walkie-talkie microphone.
"The crossing ahead is clear! The crossing ahead is clear!"
"Don't let carriages or pedestrians on. The road will be closed for ten minutes!"
Today is a sunny day.
The convoy sped along the newly built cement road. Soldiers and police were on duty at every intersection! They were like enemies and stopped pedestrians from crossing the road!
Since it was a two-way six-lane road with two slow lanes for carriages, the team reached a speed of 6 kilometers! After running for an hour, they arrived at the chariot training ground!
This training ground has now started non-stop training mode, and some troops have even sent a third batch of soldiers for training!
There are currently 21 Type 9 tanks and Type assault guns at the training ground, which are also the main tanks currently produced and equipped!
The heads of the headquarters and their entourage climbed onto the roof of a three-story building next to them, and observed through binoculars, constantly exclaiming in admiration!
