    Before the July 7th Incident, Shanxi's industry was one of the most developed regions in mainland China. Its industrial scale was second only to that of Southern Manchuria before the September 18th Incident. Its industrial base has always been based on heavy industry, and it also cooperated with Japanese capital.  Compared with South Manchuria, which accounts for a large part, the entire industry in Shanxi is entirely Chinese.

    There are hundreds of factories and large heavy industrial enterprises in and around Taiyuan City alone. Around Taiyuan City, there are Northwest Steel Plant, Northwest Locomotive Factory, Taiyuan Arsenal, Northwest Yucai Steel Machinery Factory, Northwest Chemical Plant,  Northwest Power Plant, Northwest Woolen Mill, Northwest Cement Factory and other large factories and mines.

    The entire northern suburbs of Taiyuan are densely covered with factories, and there are huge factory chimneys everywhere. Its industrial scale is definitely first-rate in the country. Even compared with Shanghai, which mainly focuses on light textiles and building materials, in addition to the shipbuilding industry, in  The complete set of heavy industry industries is also slightly inferior.

    Before the September 18th Incident, the Taiyuan Arsenal, together with the Shenyang Arsenal and the Hanyang Arsenal, were among the three major arsenals in the country. Its heavy weapons production capacity was even higher than that of the Hanyang Arsenal. The Jinsui Army relied on these arsenals to not only equip itself with equipment that ranked among the warlords in the country.  First of all, there is even room for large-scale external sales.

    The Taiyuan Arsenal can produce more than four million rounds of bullets in just one month. It once produced up to 35 artillery pieces per month. In addition to the Shenyang Arsenal, it ranks first among all the arsenals in the pass. Although the quality is limited by raw materials and workmanship.  In terms of performance, it also seems a bit inferior, but after all, under the circumstances of limited financial resources, the problem of whether or not is solved first.

    In addition, Shanxi relied on a large number of private enterprises built by Shanxi merchants who were known as the richest in the world and had strong private capital. Before the Anti-Japanese War, Shanxi was actually the most developed province in domestic industry, especially heavy industry, except Northeast China.  , it is definitely ranked among the best in the country.

    Although during the Japanese occupation, a large number of machinery and equipment in the Japanese-occupied areas of Taiyuan and Shanxi were plundered to Japan and Northeast China, and several factories that originally produced weapons and equipment were basically evacuated. The military manufacturing capacity of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was  In fact, it started from the Taiyuan Arsenal machinery and equipment captured by Japanese troops and transported to the Northeast as reserves, but the scale of the remaining industry is still very objective.

    The total number of equipment that needs to be demolished in the Northwest Machinery Plant and Machinery Repair Shop alone reaches more than 540 pieces. The scale and tonnage of the equipment in the Northwest Steel Plant and Chemical Plant are even larger. Not to mention dismantling, it is  Transportation is a headache.

    The train problem was easy to solve. When the Anti-Japanese Alliance captured Taiyuan Railway Station, they captured six freight trains and more than 170 freight trains. After the Zhengtai Railway was interrupted, the trains were trapped in Shanxi.  Almost all of them are concentrated in several surrounding stations such as Taiyuan City and Yangquan.

    After capturing Taiyuan Railway Station, the train trapped in Taiyuan fell into the hands of Yang Jicai. The number of carriages in his hands was enough to transport all the machinery and equipment. However, the availability of transportation means did not mean that the problem had been completely solved. From Taiyuan to  Most of Datong's Beitong-Pu Railway is still in the hands of the Japanese army.

    Looking at the equipment that needs to be dismantled statistically, Yang Jicai is also overwhelmed. Although the orders from his superiors are only to dismantle the equipment of the Northwest Steel Plant, the Northwest Machinery Plant, and the old and new plants of the Northwest Chemical Plant, the total number is in the factories in Taiyuan City.  Among them, it is not the most.

    But at the moment, the amount of usable equipment that has been compiled is far more than what I originally judged, and it also exceeds the amount given to me by the Enemy Industry Department of the Jinsui Military Region. Not counting anything else, just these equipments, from disassembly to shipment, are three  Days of time, to hell with it, three days is enough to complete the demolition of the Northwest Machinery Factory.

    As for the number of workers who are willing to leave, it is less than the number originally planned. Leaving the place where they grew up and wandering around during this war-torn period is obviously difficult for a large number of workers who already have families to support and need to support their families.  It was very reluctant. Although life in the occupied areas was more difficult, at least the security was better.

    Although the little devils who plundered those factory equipment were a little more ferocious and the pay was a little low, they were still more miserable than before. It was better to be in a base area where they had to be wary of being raided by the Japanese all day long. Therefore, it was unexpected that the Enemy Industry Department of the Jinsui Military Region  It was judged that the number of workers willing to leave was not as high as originally expected.

    Moreover, when they heard that they were going to the Northeast, many workers themselves also gave up. Although people in Shanxi did not have the habit of traveling to Guandong, people in northern Shanxi always had the habit of taking the west exit. In the eyes of local Shanxi people, they would not be able to survive.  Only talented people would do it. In the eyes of Shanxi people, this is a very shameful thing.

    Some of them who had already agreed to leave also backed down under the pressure of their family members, but this was not a big problem for Yang Jicai. The superiors of Northwest Steel Plant, Northwest Machinery Plant, and Northwest Chemical Plant  ClickIf he can mobilize these workers from an important factory, he will have completed the task.

    As for those workers in iron factories, cigarette factories, match factories, woolen mills, and paper mills who are willing to leave, he is naturally happy. If they don't want to leave, Yang Jicai will not force him. However, the previous mobilization of the Enemy Industry Department of the Jinsui Military Region is still  It was very impressive. Even though the number of workers willing to leave was lower than originally expected, there were still more than 20,000 workers willing to evacuate. However, compared with the number of workers mobilized, the real headaches for him were those from the three factories named by his superiors.  Removal and installation of equipment.

    According to his own plan, all the dismantled equipment will be transported by railway, and the Japanese and puppet troops at various stations along the North Tongpu Railway will not think that they will be bold, regardless of the fact that most of the routes of the North Tongpu Railway are still in their hands.  Adopting the mentality of forcibly passing through the railway, and taking advantage of the opportunity that Datong Railway Station was already controlled by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the North-Tongpu Railway was used to use trains to forcibly pass through various Japanese strongholds along the line at maximum speed.

    But this kind of railway transportation can only be done once. I want to do it the second time. The Japanese army is on guard. As long as they remove a section of the railway, they will be trapped on the railway line with no choice. The Datong battlefield has now become the entire North China Front of the Japanese army.  Everyone is paying attention. If he is trapped along the railway, the further north he goes, the more dangerous he will be.

    What makes Yang Jicai even more troublesome is that not only Taiyuan's 20,000 workers and tens of thousands of family members, but also doubled the number of prisoners of war have to retreat. After the Anti-Japanese Alliance entered the city, the only remaining Japanese and puppet establishment in Taiyuan City is  Taiyuan Normal School, Taiyuan Women's Normal School, Taiyuan Industrial Vocational School, Taiyuan Commercial Xinmin School, Taiyuan Junior Agricultural Vocational School.

    As well as the Litongxu Medical College just established by the Japanese and puppets, more than 200 newly recruited students and Chinese teachers, plus thousands of teachers and students from the puppet provincial Taiyuan Middle School and Taiyuan No. 2 Middle School in Taiyuan City,  They also clamored to retreat together, not to mention going to the Northeast, even to places no matter how desolate they were.

    Yang Jicai, who had no way to decide whether to take these students with him, could only ask his superiors for instructions. But after receiving Yang Jicai's request telegram, Yang Zhen wrote on his brother's report and directly asked him to transfer the students in Taiyuan City.  The people should take away as much as possible. Looking at the instructions from the headquarters, Yang Jicai felt even more pressured.

    With so many people and a large amount of machinery and equipment, it would be difficult to evacuate in three days or even thirty days. He was not aware of the current situation of the base area. The insufficient population has become the biggest difficulty in the development and growth of the base area.  , but what should he do with so many students? The surrounding areas of Taiyuan are still enemy-occupied areas.

    After several discussions with the commander of the Eighth Division, the two men worked together to divide the work and decided that except for the workers and prisoners of war who stayed to dismantle the factory, the remaining evacuated workers and students, together with all their families, would first gather 150 trucks.  Carry out rush transportation to the location of the Gujiao Eighth Division Headquarters.

    As for equipment disassembly, we will first focus on dismantling a total of 894 pieces of equipment in the Northwest Machinery Factory, Northwest Machinery Repair Shop, Northwest Chemical Plant, and Automobile Repair Shop. These equipment are relatively light and can be disassembled very quickly. As for  For the equipment in the northwest steelmaking plant, all the workers, plus some prisoners of war, were gathered to dismantle the blast furnace accessories and the relatively lighter electric furnaces.

    Especially the German-made 1.5-ton electric arc furnace that was requested by the headquarters from the original Yucai Steelmaking Machinery Factory and merged into the Northwest Steelmaking Plant. After the Yucai Steelmaking Machinery Factory was completely plundered by the Japanese army, it was the only remaining blast furnace.  As well as the 40-ton open-hearth furnace, power generation equipment, 650 medium-sized rolling steel, 5,000-horsepower electric motors, and seven blast furnaces.

    The entire personnel evacuation, equipment disassembly and shipment, as well as personnel evacuation issues are handled by the Eighth Division. The Eighth Division has been active around Taiyuan. All the enemy situations here are under their control. It is better for them to do this.  suitable.

    Yang Jicai is responsible for commanding the entire operations around Taiyuan, especially preparing to fight against Japanese reinforcements, and weakening the remaining Japanese forces in Taiyuan City as much as possible. All troops in Taiyuan City are under the unified command of Yang Jicai. As for the enemy situation along Beitongpu Road  , the Jinsui Military Region will be responsible for finding out in the shortest possible time.

    In fact, it doesn¡¯t take much effort for the Jinsui Military Region to figure out the enemy situation on this line. The entire enemy situation on the Beitong-Pu Railway is in the head of the Intelligence Department of the Jinsui Military Region. What needs to be figured out is that after the start of the Datong direction, the Beitong-Pu Railway  Some changes occurred in the enemy situation along the route.

    Considering that it is still unclear how long the Taiyue troops can hold off the Japanese army, in order to be on the safe side, Yang Jicai deployed two companies, plus two battalions from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Division, to strengthen two cannons, and quickly seize the two units south of Taiyuan.  A line of defense was established in the south of Taiyuan City along the lines of Pagoda Temple, Laojun Camp and Di Village.

    Yang Jicai will collect a large number of weapons and equipment seized at Taiyuan Station and Wusu Airport.It was handed over to the Jinsui and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops. As for the large amount of gasoline and other materials seized, in addition to keeping it as a backup, all was also transported to Gujiao.

    In order to enhance the relatively weak firepower of the internal troops, Yang Jicai specially sent people to dismantle all the machine guns from the broken planes that the Japanese army left at Wusu Airport, and handed them over to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Division troops. He only needed  of gasoline stored at the airport.
