Yan Maosheng, who works in Jincheng Municipal Government, is from 年4年5年4年4年4年4年4年4年4年4年4年4年4期4年4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4年4期4� Recently, taking advantage of the break from a business trip in Taiyuan, he and Liu Jianxiang, director of the Weicheng Village Committee, went to an apartment building on Taoyuan South Road to meet a 91-year-old man. More than 370 years ago, in Weicheng Village, an old revolutionary base in the Taihang Mountains, there was an arsenal with nearly a thousand employees and mainly produced fast-fired fired medicine for mortar shells, providing strong support for the People's Liberation Army to effectively attack the enemy on the front battlefields such as Huaihai and Pingjin. The old man Yan Maosheng, Liu Jianxiang and others visited in Taiyuan was the wife of Li Ruikang, the political commissar of the arsenal and secretary of the party branch, and Chen Guixiang, who had worked in the arsenal in Weicheng Village.
Zhongtiaoshan Chemical Plant moved to Weicheng Village
"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, facing the Kuomintang army armed to the teeth, the Eighth Route Army's "Xiaomi plus rifle" ammunition supply model was at a disadvantage. The large number of positional wars and tough battles have caused the demand for ammunition to rise sharply, and the production of explosives has become a weak link, and the output is far from meeting the needs of war development." Yan Maosheng said: "According to the instructions of the superior's 'factory to migrate to plains and areas with convenient transportation and expanding the production scale', Wang Xiyan, a member of the Eighth Route Army's mobile work group and chemical expert, led the technicians to Jincheng , Yangcheng , Qinshui and other places to inspect.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Weicheng Village was a large village with hundreds of households. It has convenient transportation, abundant water resources, and is surrounded by rich mineral resources such as coal, iron and sulfur. It also has a porcelain kiln. The village is backed by Huayang Mountain and is located in the south of Lingqin Line. It is relatively hidden, easy to maneuver, and meets the combat readiness requirements.
"Since then, Weicheng Village, Aiyukou Village, Zuoquan County, and Neiwang Village, Shangdang District, Changzhi City, became three ignition explosives factories secretly created by the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi. "Yan Maosheng checked historical materials and learned that the predecessor of Weicheng Arsenal was a chemical factory built in Dongzhuang Village, Dongfeng Township, Yangcheng County, in September 1943. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Zhongtiaoshan Chemical Factory, which belongs to the Military Industry Department of the Taiyue Military Region, was relocated as a whole. The Tangdi Temple, Guandi Temple, Guandi Temple, Tianqi Temple, etc. in the village were used as sulfuric acid , nitric acid production workshop, sheet metal maintenance workshop, and finished product warehouse. The arsenal factory department was located in the Sun Family Courtyard next to the Tangdi Temple, and at the same time, some idle houses around the village were used as warehouses. In addition, staff dormitories, banks, schools, and doctors All the courtyards borrow private houses in the village.
For the sake of confidentiality, Weicheng Village Arsenal is called Wynn Commercial Bank externally, the factory director is called manager, the secretary is called supervisor, and the internally, it is called Jincheng Chemical Factory.
The party organization of the arsenal has a general branch committee, the general branch secretary is Li Ruikang, and the members are Wang Xiyu (manager), Lin Musen (deputy manager), Yu Chenglong (chairman of the trade union) and Zhang Feiwo (special commissioner); the party general branch has four party branches; the administrative organization has factory department, factory department and business department (later to adapt to enterprise-oriented operations to factory department, business department, accounting department and personnel department); the factory union has four branch unions.
In the summer of 1946, with the approval of the Taiyue Military Region, 150 recruits from Taiyue District, including Guo Hudan, Fan Zhengxiang, Chai Xianzhong, Yu Linzhong, Feng Zhixin, etc., including Guo Hudan, Fan Zhengxiang, Chai Xianzhong, Yu Linzhong, Feng Zhixin, etc. were enriched at the factory.
The main production plant of arms explosives in North China
Weicheng Arsenal mainly produces fast-fired launch drugs, Judisheng, picric acid and sweetened explosives, and also provides chemical raw materials and intermediates such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, alcohol, nitrified cotton, nitrified glycerin required for gunpowder and explosive products.
Arsenal has four production units: acid production, nitrification, completion and repair. Under the unified leadership of the Party Committee of the Military Industry Department, Weicheng The arsenal launched a meritorious service competition for the "Liu Bocheng Factory" with the goal of increasing ammunition output, improving product quality, carrying out technological transformation, and reducing material consumption. At that time, the workshop had no electricity lights, but the employees were very enthusiastic about production. They took the initiative to work overtime and did not pay for them. They paid for flashlights and batteries themselves, and quietly went to the factory to work over night.
In the meritorious service competition for the "Liu Bocheng Factory" where "everyone has meritorious, everything can be meritorious", many workers in the Weicheng Arsenal received medal awards from the Military Industry Department. Now Yu Guoping, who works in the Changzhi Huifeng Machinery Factory, still treasures the blue medals and certificates obtained by his grandfather Yu Linzhong.During this movement, the Aicho Arsenal was renamed "The Eighth Pharmaceutical Factory of the Arsenal Bureau of the North China Public Enterprise Department" (The Eighth Factory of the Military Industry Department). The Military Industry Department reappointed the factory leadership team.
In 1947, the production of fast-burning ejection drugs in the entire factory more than tripled compared with the previous year, and was praised by the Military Industry Department and won a prize. Weicheng Arsenal quickly became one of the main arms explosives production plants in North China. It has ranked first in the North China by implementing an enterprise-based business operation method.
The fire explosives produced by this factory are extremely powerful and played an important role in the Huaihai Battle, the Pingjin Battle and the Jiefang Yuncheng, Linfen , Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang.
Arson employees formed a deep friendship with the villagers
85-year-old Sun Jiabi returned to the village after retiring from the railway system. He was only 11 years old when the arsenal moved to Weicheng Village.
"This is the mountain gate of Tianqi Temple." In front of a tall bracket-shaped gatehouse in the village, Sun Jiabi said: "I often played in the temple when I was a child." Due to disrepair, all the existing buildings in Tianqi Temple have collapsed. Now, the village is repairing and rebuilding the main hall and east-west side halls of the temple.
At that time, Tianqi Temple was used as a sulfuric acid workshop by the arsenal. When Sun Jiabi was a child, he also liked to play at the Tangdi Temple in the village, and there was a gorgeous glass pavilion in the temple.
is confidential, the roof of the Tangdi Temple is covered with branches and straw curtains, and other workshops are also disguised. At the same time, in addition to production needs, the valuable materials and dangerous goods in the arsenal were moved outside the village for proper preservation, and the employees' families moved to nearby villages to live. A few days later, enemy planes flew over Weicheng Village and several nearby villages, and then flew away. Later, the enemy planes came several times in a row, but the plan to bomb the arsenal was not successful because they could not find the significant target of Liuli Pavilion. After the arsenal was stationed in the village, all the cadres and masses in the village were happy. The villagers donated large ceramic tanks used to store grain to the arsenal, and the village also organized the production of a large number of ceramic products to ensure that the arsenal needs.
At the same time, the villagers also took the initiative to vacate the Sun Family Courtyard, the Zhou Family Old House, the Signal Courtyard, the Juren Courtyard, etc. for the arsenal staff to live in. Among them, the Sun Family Courtyard of the Sun Family became the factory department, and all the important leaders in the factory worked in this courtyard.
93-year-old villager Wang Xiaoguo married to Weicheng Village when she was a teenager. When the arsenal moved to the village, she was only 19 years old. When talking to the old man about the arsenal more than 70 years ago, the old man clearly remembered that her family had vacated a main house and allowed several female staff members of the arsenal to live in. The old man often made military shoes for the employees of the arsenal at that time.
The people support the army, and the army loves the people. The arsenal also brought spiritual food to the villagers.
In 1948, the North China Military Industry Bureau visited the Aicho Arsenal and screened the silent movie "The Couple Talks Back", which caused a sensation within a radius of dozens of miles. Weicheng Village became the first village to watch movies, learn revolutionary songs, and rehearse art programs than the surrounding villages. The village also established a yangko team and a stilt team, which often performed for the troops. In 1949, villagers and arsenal soldiers held a Dangbanyangge friendship event. The arsenal is like a villager's school. The villagers have learned cultural knowledge and broadened their horizons. During busy farming, the arsenal workers take the initiative to help villagers collect and grow grain, and during slack farming, villagers can enter the factory to work. The troops used military funds to help the poor and sent military doctors to diagnose and treat the villagers. After the arsenal was completed, production was booming. The villagers' grain output is also increasing year by year, and Weicheng Village has become a "hometown of high yields".
On June 12, 2009, Professor Huang Weicheng, a researcher at the magazine "Qiushi", came to Jincheng to give lectures. Yan Maosheng was very excited when he heard this news: "Not only because Professor Huang is a party building expert, but more importantly, his name is very special." Huang Weicheng is from Huarong County, Hunan Province. His great-grandfather is Xu Teli, one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an", his father is Huang Mobin, and his mother Xu Zhou is Xu Teli's granddaughter. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Huang Mobin, as a top student in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Yan'an Academy of Natural Sciences, was sent by the party organization to build an arsenal in the base area. On March 16, 1946, Huang Mobin and Xu Zhou got married.
"I'm very happy to come to Jincheng to give such a lecture. Jincheng is my second hometown, and I was born in Weicheng Village, Jincheng.The word "Weicong" is no longer available in other parts of the country. "During the lecture, Huang Weicheng said emotionally. After listening to the report, Yan Maosheng asked Huang Weicheng to sign and take a photo together.
According to the old people in the village, shortly after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army team came to Weicheng Village to build an arsenal. The cadres of the arsenal got along well with the people in the village. The next year, Huang Mobin married a female cadre and gave birth to a son a year later, which was Huang Weicheng. "In 2012 and 2014, Professor Huang came to Jincheng twice to give lectures. "From then on, Yan Maosheng interacted frequently with Huang Weicheng.
The precious history that should be remembered
"Short long after we got married, the Military Industry Department appointed Li Ruikang, who was only 29 years old, as the political commissar of the factory. So, the newly married us came from Changzhi in a carriage to the Arsenal Eighth Pharmaceutical Factory in Weicheng Village, Jincheng. "On May 20, 2017, at the symposium on commemorating the 100th anniversary of Li Ruikang's birth at , , Li Ruikang's wife Chen Guixiang recalled affectionately every detail of her at the Eighth Arsenal Pharmaceutical Factory.
, Li Ruikang, who was once the Party Secretary of the Weicheng Arsenal, was an important inheritor and promoter of the Anti-United Nations and the Taihang Spirit.
In 1938, Li Ruikang entered Yan'an Anti-United Nations University to study and joined the Communist Party of China in May of the same year. After graduating from the Anti-United Nations University, he stayed at the school to serve as a political assistant and teacher of the Anti-United Nations University. In 1940, he served as the instructor of the Cadre Training Team of the Eighth Route Army Military Industry Department. In 1941, he served as deputy instructor and instructor of in . In July 1946, he served as the political commissar of the Eighth Pharmaceutical Factory of the Ministry of Military Industry. Later, he served as the Party Secretary and President of the North China Ordnance Vocational (Industrial) School, the principal of Taiyuan Machinery Manufacturing Industrial School, the Party Secretary and Dean of the Taiyuan Mechanical College (now North China University) and the Party Member of the North China Ordnance Bureau. In 2005, 88-year-old Li Ruikang passed away.
On July 15, Yan Maosheng and others met Chen Guixiang, 91, in Taiyuan. "The old man is smart in his ears and eyes, can play with computers and mobile phones, and can send WeChat messages. ”
Hearing that it was from Weicheng Village, the old man immediately said, “I have worked there. "She took out nine old black and white photos from 1946 to 1948. She could also call many people's names for the arsenal employee in the photo. Yin Haijun, a member of the Weicheng Village Committee who went to Taiyuan with her, liked to take photos, and he remakes these precious black and white photos. Back in the village, he picked out five of the photos with the houses as the background, compared the existing old houses in the village one by one, and confirmed that the soldiers at that time The factory department is located in the Sun Family Courtyard, and the house where Chen Guixiang lived was the old house of Wang Xiaoguo.
"From the construction in 1943 to the reorganization and production reduction in 1949, the North China Arsenal No. 8 Pharmaceutical Factory expanded from a workshop-style chemical factory with 60 people to a comprehensive arsenal with nearly 1,000 employees, a monthly rapid-fired and firing-launched drug and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of explosives, and has experienced a arduous and tortuous development process. "Talking about this red history, Yan Maosheng was filled with emotion: "The historical value of the Weicheng Arsenal not only lies in its important contribution to supporting the Liberation War, but also laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the industrial system of New China. "
It is understood that steel plants such as Tangshan, Tianjin, Shijingshan, some well-known steel enterprises such as Taiyuan, Baotou, and Wuhan, Taihang Industrial School, Taiyuan Mechanical College, etc., all cadres and technical backbones trained by the Weicheng Arsenal participated in the construction. Figures show that the Weicheng Arsenal at that time sent hundreds of cadres and technical backbones to all parts of the country, strongly supported the construction of the talent team in the liberated areas of the country, and contributed to the economic recovery and socialist construction of the New China.
At the same time, as an enterprise with nearly a thousand people, the Weicheng Arsenal explored during the construction of the factory. A set of scientific management systems and experiences including the implementation of economic accounting systems, the implementation of production quota management and quality management, the establishment of a job responsibility system, the strengthening of democratic management, the implementation of a contract system, and the implementation of a new wage system, provide valuable experience reference for the restoration and development of industrial production in New China.
In order to always remember this revolutionary history, Weicheng Village began to collect historical materials from the arsenal. Wang Guoliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Jincheng CPPCC and full-time vice chairman of the Jincheng Municipal Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, pays great attention to the inheritance of red culture, and has submitted proposals for the establishment of the Weicheng Revolutionary Memorial Hall to promote red tourism for four consecutive years.For many years, Zhang Xinchuan, 80, from Weicheng Village, has been calling for the reconstruction and repair of ancient buildings such as Qitian Temple and Tangdi Temple used by the arsenal in the village to promote this unforgettable red history and culture. Liu Jianxiang, director of the Weicheng Village Committee, said that with the continuous enrichment of historical materials, the village committee has begun to prepare for the construction of the Arsenal Revolutionary History Memorial Hall. At present, ancient buildings such as the Tangdi Temple, which were used as the production workshop, and ancient houses such as the Sun Family Courtyard of the Arsenal Department, were basically preserved intact, and the renovation of the Tianqi Temple has begun.
