Therefore, when the two saw Ding Wei waiting to come out, they were naturally respectful, and deep down, they were full of awe for Ding Wei.

  Ding Wei didn't even look at the two family members. Maybe Ding Wei had long forgotten what happened in the morning. After Ding Wei boarded a black car that had been prepared at the door, he said goodbye to Lin's father and Lin's mother and Lin Yuxin. Take the sedan to the headquarters of the [-]th Army Group.

  The car stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and Ding Wei pushed the door straight down and walked towards the gate of the headquarters.Now Ding Wei is still wearing a suit and leather shoes, with big sunglasses and a black hat, but the beard on his mouth has long been torn off.

  Several guard soldiers at the door saw Ding Wei walking straight towards the door, and couldn't help looking at each other. Everyone's eyes were full of doubts. This figure seemed to be familiar, but a pair of large sunglasses covered almost half of their cheeks. With another hat on, everyone still couldn't recognize Ding Wei right away.

  In order to reduce trouble, Ding Wei took off his glasses case and hat, and smiled kindly at several comrades guards who were standing guard at the door.

  Seeing that it was their own commander-in-chief, several guards immediately stood at attention and saluted, shouting: "." Hello, Chief!"

  Ding Wei casually returned a military salute, smiled at everyone, walked into the gate, and entered the headquarters. The first thing Ding Wei did was to enter his office, put on his military uniform, and then deal with his desk. A few points on the file.

  Ding Wei had just finished processing today's several documents when Fang Zheng, deputy director of the Political Department, came in. Fang Zheng brought a plan for the construction of the Baotou Iron and Steel Plant.

  Fangzheng has a lot of doubts about the construction of Baotou Iron and Steel Plant, because Baotou is located in a remote area, far away from Datong. According to Fangzheng's understanding, if a large-scale steel plant is to be built, it is best to be close to Datong, because Datong has rich coal resources , the smelted steel can be used nearby.

  The automobile factories, armored vehicle factories, aircraft factories, arsenals and other major steel-consuming households in the base area are all in Datong. It is very suitable to build steel factories in Datong, but Datong lacks a lot of iron ore.

  But Ding Wei is going to build a large-scale iron and steel plant in Baotou. The scale of this iron and steel plant is far beyond Fangzheng's expectations. It is many times larger than the iron and steel plant in Xin'an County with an annual output of 30 to [-] tons. According to According to Ding Wei's request, after the steel plant is completed and put into operation, the output should reach [-] tons.

  The steel plant will be built in two phases. After the first phase is completed, the annual output of high-quality steel will reach 10 tons. After the second phase is completed, the total output will reach 30 tons, and the steel plant will have nearly [-] workers.

  Such a large steel plant has never been seen in China. A few years ago, the steel output of Hanyang Steel Plant was only 6 to 7 tons per year, and the steel plant with an annual output of 30 tons of steel was definitely one of the best in Asia. When he heard that such a large steel factory was going to be launched, Fang Zheng was also excited.

  But soon, Fangzheng came to his senses, and became more and more puzzled. He couldn't understand Ding Wei's thoughts. According to Fangzheng's understanding, there was no large iron ore near Baotou. When the steel plant was built, where did the raw materials come from? , Without a large amount of iron ore, how to make steel.

  Although he didn't understand it in his heart, Fangzheng faithfully implemented Ding Wei's instructions, organized a large number of experts and technicians, and took several days to come up with a preliminary plan for building a steel plant, which he hurriedly delivered today. Come over and have a look at Ding Wei. .

Chapter 426

  Seeing Ding Wei in the office, Fangzheng said respectfully: "Commander-in-chief, this is the construction plan of Baotou Steel Plant. I have organized experts and technicians in smelting and civil construction in our base area, and have repeatedly demonstrated that this is preliminary. The general plan, commander-in-chief, you will have a look first."

  Today, the general plan sent by Fangzheng is very simple, with only a dozen or so thin pages. Fangzheng meant to show Ding Wei this preliminary general plan first, and then come up with a detailed plan after seeking Ding Wei's opinion.

  To be honest, there are still a lot of questions in Fangzheng's heart now, and he wants to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask Ding Wei for advice. Maybe only if the doubts in Fangzheng's heart are cleared, he can come up with a detailed plan.

  Ding Wei took Fangzheng's plan and looked at it roughly. Although it was a general plan, it was a bit like an outline, but some important issues and matters were still mentioned. Ding Wei was very satisfied with this plan. In just a few days, Ding Wei was quite satisfied to come up with such a relatively comprehensive general plan.

  After reading it, Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Old Fang, I basically agree with this plan, you can improve it according to this plan, but there are two points I want to explain.

  The first is to ensure the progress of the project. I think we can transfer [-] to [-] people from our tens of thousands of Japanese prisoners to Baotou to participate in the construction of the Baotou Iron and Steel Plant.

  The second point is to set up the Iron and Steel Research Institute in Baotou to organize all the metallurgical experts and technicians in our base area, and everyone concentrates their efforts to provide technical support for Baotou Iron and Steel Plant. "

  Ding Wei set up Baotou Iron and Steel Plant, the purpose is to make high-quality steel, not some crude steel, so it is necessary to concentrate specialized technical force.In the current Datong base, after nearly two years of development, various talents have gathered. William 400's talent company has collected a large number of talents in various fields. Therefore, there is no shortage of talents in steel smelting.

  Secondly, the iron and steel plant in Xin'an County has been put into operation for nearly two years. It not only produced a large amount of high-quality steel, but also accumulated a lot of experience in iron and steel smelting and production.

  Because of this, Ding Wei dared to launch such a large steel plant, with a large number of iron ore in Bayan Obo, strong technical force in the base area, and the participation of [-] to [-] free laborers in the construction. Ding Wei believes that this building in Baotou The steel plant will be successfully completed and put into operation.

  Comrade Fangzheng next to him, seeing that Ding Wei read his plan and was quite satisfied, Fangzheng felt very happy in his heart, thinking to himself, the hard work of these few days was finally in vain.

  Fang Zheng saw that Ding Wei's evaluation of the plan he sent was okay, and Ding Wei was in a good mood, so Fang Zheng took the opportunity to say: "Commander-in-chief, I have always had a question, why should we choose such a large steel plant? In Baotou, there is not enough iron ore there."

  Fangzheng's worry is completely correct. The current Bayan Obo iron ore has not been valued and mined, so even Fangzheng is also full of doubts and has been worried about the problem of this iron ore.

  Hearing this, Ding Wei smiled slightly and said, "Old Fang, the iron ore problem will be solved soon. Do you know about Baiyun Obo, north of Baotou? I heard from some Mongolians that there are a lot of iron ore there, so I checked again. I have obtained some information. As early as more than ten years ago, the Sino-Swiss Northwest Scientific Expedition Group discovered the iron ore of Bayan Obo, but it has not attracted people's attention. I think there is a huge iron ore there. Our Baotou Iron and Steel Plant Iron ore was shipped from there to make steel."

  "Really?" Fang Zheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard that there are a lot of iron ore in Bayan Obo.

  Seeing Fang Zheng's surprised expression, Ding Wei smiled and nodded lightly.

  Fang Zheng was very impressed when he saw Ding Wei's determination. Fang Zheng thought to himself, the commander-in-chief also knew about the fact that there are a lot of iron ore in Bayan Obo, which is really amazing.

  In fact, Ding Wei is not as miraculous as Fangzheng thought. Ding Wei only knew that there was a large iron mine there, a large iron and steel plant in Baotou, and Ding Wei vaguely remembered that in In 1927, a geologist named Ding Daoheng discovered this iron ore, but the prediction of the stock at that time was much smaller than the actual, so it has not attracted people's attention.

  With these memories, Ding Wei dared to set up such a large steel factory in Baotou, and he made up an excuse, saying that he heard some local Mongolians talk about it, and then checked some information himself, and concluded that there are a large number of iron ore in Bayan Obo.

  Ding Wei was also very happy to see Fangzheng, and immediately suggested: "Lao Fang, you have organized a group of geological experts and technicians in the past two days to go to Bayan Obo for a detailed survey. I think it will bring us great surprises. .

  By the way, for safety, we can send a battalion of soldiers to escort these geological experts and technicians, and we can also dispatch some trucks and off-road vehicles for these personnel to use, and report to me as soon as there is any news. "

  "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Fang Zheng followed Ding Wei's words, and he always followed them firmly.

  Watching Fangzheng leave happily, Ding Wei walked to the huge map hanging in his office, looked at the location of Bayan Obo, and remembered a lot of things about Bayan Obo.

  Before the discovery of the Bayan Obo Iron Mine, some local children often played in the mine. The main mine of Bayan Obo is still very high, and there are few people in the mining area, so there are many stone chickens on the mountain, which are shot with slingshots every day. reward.The specific gravity of iron sand is very large, and it is washed into the shape of pebbles by running water in the ditch, which is simply an excellent bullet.Back then, it was this iron sand used by naughty children to beat birds that led a young geologist to discover the Bayan Obo Iron Mine step by step.

  In June 1927, the northern frontier was suffering from the spring cold and sand and dust, and a huge camel caravan had appeared on the horizon of the grassland, winding to the sky.When the locals saw this mighty team with guns and some rare items they had never seen before, they couldn't help but suspect that they would take away the treasures of the town.

  This is indeed a treasure hunt team: the Sino-Swiss Northwest Scientific Expedition.They were stationed at the Bailing Temple, where today's Darhan Maoming'an Joint Banner Political Axe is located, and then prepared to continue westward from the south of Bayan Obo Mountain.

  Among the group of visitors from afar, there was a handsome and handsome young man, Ding Daoheng, 27, who was only a university assistant at that time.He seemed to be attracted by some inexplicable magnetic force, or because of the natural sensitivity of a geologist, he found this dark and mysterious mountain in the distance more than ten kilometers away.

  He found the local residents to inquire, provoked the oil lamp to check the information.After a sleepless night, he decided to get up early in the morning to find out.

  At dawn the next day, while his companions were still sound asleep, he ran to Bayan Obo on foot alone.The closer he got to the bottom of the mountain, the denser the iron sand in the valleys, and the more excited his heart was beating. This is an iron ore, a big iron ore!This day is July 1927, 7.

  Sven on July 7th?Hedin officially received the good news from Ding Daoheng, reporting the discovery of a huge iron ore in Bayinbokettu (ie, Bayan Obo), "Although the minerals have not been analyzed, the whole mountain is made of iron ore. This ore is formed by exchange, the former is Limestone, which is exchanged by those containing iron in diving. It is flushed out by magma, and other impurities are gasified away, so its substance is extremely pure. It is estimated that the composition will be more than eighty or ninety percent. The full amount It's all exposed and easy to mine."

  Another member of the expedition - Swedish geologist Eric?Nalin also said in his letter on July 7: "Sacred Mountain, Bayinboktu, is worthy of the name, the entire southern half of the wall is pure ore, iron and manganese, and the ground of the mining area has been extended to Chahan Obo Temple, which has been established by I'll paint." Sven?After receiving reports from Ding and those two, Hedin responded in his diary: "The discovery of a huge iron ore is the blessing of the Celestial Dynasty."

  A lot of knowledge, a lot of experience and a little luck are the three primary colors of a prospector's success.At that time, Ding Daoheng continued his journey west with the collected specimens, hand drawings and a lot of written materials, but he never forgot this "national treasure".Exactly three years later, he was able to put what he saw and what he saw in the "Suiyuan Bayan Obo Iron Mine Report".

  Standing in front of the map, Ding Wei remembered a lot, and he was also slightly excited. He thought in his heart that if a mining area was established in Bayan Obo, with a little mining, the ore needs of this 30-ton steel plant in Baotou could be fully met.

  With so much high-quality steel, the scale of major factories in Datong can also be expanded, and the Tongpu Railway between Datong and Taiyuan should also be re-expanded. The current Tongpu Railway is all narrow gauge, which is very inconvenient. convenient.

  Because of the narrow gauge, only a limited number of trains can run on this railway, and the transportation capacity is very limited. Now the cement road from Datong to Taiyuan has undertaken a lot of transportation tasks.

  After getting a lot of steel, Ding Wei plans to build the Tongpu Railway into a standard track. After getting a lot of steel, Ding Wei also plans to choose a site to build a train factory.

  With a large amount of steel, the production of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and even planes will also increase substantially.

  Standing in front of the map, Ding Wei was a little lost in thought for a moment. Even Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, knocked on the door and entered, but Ding Wei didn't notice it. .

Chapter 427

  Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, knocked on the door and entered Ding Wei's office. Seeing Ding Wei standing in front of the map, Deng Wenping coughed softly.

  Ding Wei, who came to his senses, saw that Comrade Deng Wenping came in, and said with a slight smile, "Old Deng, do you have anything to do with me?"

  Comrade Deng Wenping smiled lightly: "Commander-in-chief, this is the telegram I just received. The Eighth Route Army invited us to organize a delegation to their Taihang Mountain base to observe and exchange."

  Hearing this, Ding Wei took the telegram and looked serious. He didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would invite him to form a group to observe and exchange.

  So, Ding Wei said happily: "Old Deng, then send a report to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and we will leave for Taihang Mountain tomorrow."

  "Good commander-in-chief, but what about our delegation?"

  Ding Wei thought about it for a while. At present, several high-level officials of the [-]th Army Group must not be able to go all the way. They must stay at home. Like Comrade Fangzheng, who is now undertaking a large number of construction tasks in the Datong base area, he will definitely not be able to leave for a while. Chief of Staff Comrade Zuo Qingquan and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Dazhu are currently in charge of army building and may not be able to go away either.

  Especially Comrade Liu Dazhu, who is now preparing to set up garrison brigades in various places. The task is very heavy. It seems that only himself and Comrade Deng Wenping can walk away.

  So, Ding Wei smiled slightly: "The delegation will be led by the two of us, plus Liu Xing and 20 special forces members of the special team, plus a few staff members of our headquarters, we will bring A guard company will do."

  "Okay, I'll send a report to the Eighth Route Army headquarters as the commander-in-chief said. It's great to have the commander-in-chief lead the team this time. I think the Eighth Route Army will be very happy."

  After finishing speaking, Comrade Deng Wenping was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Ding Wei, who saw Ding Wei sternly say: "Old Deng, I am going to get married on New Year's Day, and I need to report to the Central Committee, you can prepare a telegram for me and send it Give it to Yan'an."

  Hearing this, Comrade Deng Wenping immediately said happily: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief! I'll draw up the telegram later, and I'll send it to you for a look."

  Comrade Deng Wenping was very happy about the "important task" that Ding Wei had entrusted to him to draw up a telegram.Originally, Ding Wei wanted to draw up the telegram himself, but thinking that the political commissar happened to be in charge of life, he gave the surname to Comrade Deng Wenping.

  Sure enough, it didn't take long for Comrade Deng Wenping to show Ding Wei the prepared telegram. After reading it, Ding Wei was very satisfied, completely agreed with the content of the telegram, and asked to send it to Yan'an immediately.

  In the afternoon, the news of Ding Wei's marriage on New Year's Day spread like wildfire in the headquarters. Several high-level officials of the [-]th Army came to Ding Wei's office to congratulate him. Ding Wei also expressed his gratitude.

  Early the next morning, Ding Wei, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Deng Wenping and Liu Xing, took several staff officers, 20 special forces, and soldiers of a guard company, riding several off-road vehicles and ten A large truck, a group of nearly two hundred people, went to Datong Airport, took a flight to Taiyuan, and after arriving in Taiyuan, took a car to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

  There were many people who saw him off, like Zuo Qingquan, Liu Dazhu, Fangzheng, etc., all of them went to the airport to see Ding Wei off. At the airport, everyone said goodbye one by one. Before leaving, Ding Wei also explained to Zuo Qingquan and Liu Dazhu, who were staying in Datong. , Fangzheng and others, must do a good job in the construction of base areas and the construction of the army.

  The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is currently located in Guojiayu, Shanxi Province. The deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army is in charge of the work, and the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, a member of the three-member military team of the Central Committee, is currently mainly in Yan'an.

  Guojiayu, the "Little Yan'an" of the Zhanghe River, currently has the Eighth Route Army Front Headquarters, Field Political Department, Logistics Department, VIA Department, Military Industry Department, [***] Central Northern Bureau, Northern Bureau Party School, and Xinhua News Agency North China Branch , Lu Xun Art School and division headquarters and other institutions.

  Arriving at Taiyuan Airport, the senior commanders of the First Infantry Division stationed in Taiyuan came to pick up the plane, and took the off-road vehicles and trucks prepared by the First Infantry Division in Taiyuan, and declined the retention of the senior commanders of the First Infantry Division. Ding Wei did not stop and left Taiyuan immediately.

  Ding Wei's motorcade first drove along the cement road outside Datong for an hour or two, then turned on a gravel dirt road and drove all the way to the southeast.

  After getting on this rough sandy dirt road, the speed of the car gradually slowed down due to the road conditions. Just now on the cement kilometers, the team maintained a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour. After getting on this dirt road, The speed is only about thirty kilometers.

  Sitting in the cab of the off-road vehicle, Ding Wei is closing his eyes and resting. In the spacious cab, except for Ding Wei, there are only two drivers and one guard. This is still the control area of ​​the [-]th Army Group. Safety, Ding Wei closed his eyes on Suo surname.

  After Ding Wei's off-road vehicle, it was also an off-road vehicle. In this off-road vehicle, Comrade Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, was riding. Comrade Deng Wenping at this time was not as calm as Ding Wei. Comrade Deng Wenping at this time Feeling slightly excited.

  This time, returning to the Taihang Mountains base and heading to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, for Comrade Deng Wenping, means returning to his parents' home.In the past, Comrade Deng Wenping served as the deputy director of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army. Since the establishment of the [-]th Group Army, he was transferred from the Eighth Route Army to the [-]th Army and served as the director of the General Political Department of the [-]th Army.

  Looking at the beautiful off-road vehicle, the ten large army green trucks behind him, the well-equipped soldiers, and the brand-new lieutenant general's uniform on his body, Comrade Deng Wenping suddenly felt a sense of honor of returning home.

  When I was in the Eighth Route Army, the conditions were difficult and the equipment was outdated. Since I came to the [-]th Army Group, I have been surprised by one after another and won several great victories, which made Comrade Deng Wenping feel proud.

  Although, as the director of the General Political Department, his ideological awareness is very high, at this time, Comrade Deng Wenping still had this sense of pride, this sense of honor, and his mood became more and more excited, and he could not calm down for a long time. Comrade Deng Wenping thought to himself, maybe he is still a mortal, a mortal who cannot be exempted from the common world.

  The convoy drove on the gravel and dirt road for two or three hours. It was noon. The convoy had also entered the Taihang Mountains base of the Eighth Route Army. A town with several thousand people appeared in front of the gravel and dirt road.

  At the intersection of the town, there are more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing guard there. It seems that the Eighth Route Army is stationed in this town.In such a big town, there should be restaurants.

  So, Ding Wei ordered the convoy to slow down and enter the town, prepare to eat lunch, and look at the map. There are still dozens of kilometers away from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Since entering the Taihang Mountains, the road has become more rugged, and the speed of the big trucks behind has slowed down again. Down, the current road conditions convoy can only advance at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, at least three or four hours to reach the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

  After receiving Ding Wei's order, the convoy began to slow down slowly, driving forward at a speed of less than 10 kilometers, and then a few hundred meters ahead, and they could start to enter the town.

.... 0 0

  This town is called Dalinkou Town, where a regiment headquarters and a guard company of the Eighth Route Army are stationed. The remaining battalions of the regiment are scattered in several villages around the town.

  The dozen or so soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing guard at the Zhenzi intersection saw a convoy in front of them slowly approaching. In front of them were five or six off-road vehicles painted in camouflage, and ten large trucks in army green behind them. These off-road vehicles, the Eighth Route Army soldiers did not I saw it, just thought it was very nice.

  These Eighth Route Army soldiers do not know which army these convoys belong to. Anyway, everyone thinks that these vehicles are not from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army does not have such good conditions. Even if there are a few trucks, they are the ones that captured the little devils, but it is obvious that the trucks in front of them Much prettier than the kiddie's truck, not to mention the cars in front.

  An Eighth Route Army squad leader who led the team to stand guard saw that the convoy was getting closer, but the convoy was obviously slowing down, and apparently there was no hostility. The eighth Route Army squad leader, who was in a tight mood, calmed down slightly.

  When the car was approaching, less than 47 meters away from him, the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army finally saw the soldiers of the [-]th Army in the car. The soldiers were wearing camouflage uniforms and holding ak-[-] assault rifles. The squad leader of the Eighth Route Army It feels like these outfits have been seen there.

  Suddenly, the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army remembered that in the newspaper he read yesterday, isn't the [-]th Army Group in the same attire? By the way, it must be a comrade from the [-]th Army Group.

  Thinking of this, the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army was a little excited, and immediately said to an Eighth Route Army soldier next to him: "Little plum, hurry up to the regiment headquarters to inform them that the comrades of the [-]th Army are coming to our town."
