Premier Zhou, who used to be the first artillery factory in North China, praised the factory as "a banner of the national small third line"

1964, Hebei national defense industry office began to build a pioneer factory (code 376). In the autumn of the same year, according to the principle of "depending on the mountain, dispersing and hiding", the site of 376 factory was selected in the depths of Taihang Mountain, in a ravine at the junction of Quyang County and Fuping County in Hebei Province. This factory was the largest conventional weapons factory in North China at that time. Since/kloc-0 broke ground on September 26th, 1964, more than 5,000 migrant workers and 376 factory workers have worked together for 56 days to complete the civil works. Then it took 56 days to successfully trial-produce a semi-automatic rifle. At that time, Pioneer Machinery Factory was famous for its rapid construction and rapid production in two 56 days. Pioneer Machinery Factory's double "May 6th" spirit was highly affirmed by the CPC Central Committee at that time and became a legend of that era. At that time, the builders had only one idea: "No matter how hard it is!" ! "There are no roads and weeds in the mountains, so everyone will clear the way; There is no dormitory, and these young people set up tents in those days; Even if there is no bed, use corn straw as the bottom floor; Mountain paving, gravel cleaning, pulling with trolleys, with shoulders behind ... but no one complained. In order to speed up the construction of the factory, no matter the factory workers or migrant workers, everyone picks stones and carries dirt, and cadres set an example, often working overtime at night or even all night. Pioneer Factory is adjacent to Tuling Village, surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, south and west, and flooded by rivers in the north. Crossing the water and crossing Hanjiayu is the only way. No.8 is the seat of the work-study school, located between Shuiman River and Tuling Village. After completion, Pioneer Factory is divided into administrative area, production area and living area. Administrative area No.5 is adjacent to living area No.6, and together with Tuling Village in tool workshops No.3 and No.3 1, it forms the outermost periphery of Pioneer Factory, about four or five miles away from production area1. From Administrative District 5 toNo. 1, it is the only place that passes through No.7 Staff Dormitory. No.7 climbed a big slope, crossed a small ravine, that is, No.32 machine maintenance workshop on No.2, and at the top of the big slope, you could see a huge alarm bell, that is 1 with no gate. The daily schedule is issued by this alarm clock. Further inside, you will reach the production area backed by Nanshan, and many production workshops will be built at the foot of Nanshan. Pioneer factory has no fence, and there is a military garrison in Administrative Region 6, which is responsible for the safety of the factory. It is said that it is a pioneer agricultural machinery factory. In fact, it has never produced an agricultural machine, but it can hear constant voices every day. Even the villagers in Tuling Village are well aware of this phenomenon. It is said that there were some "jokes" at the beginning of the factory. Two strangers broke into No.5 and were found by villagers in Tuling. While chatting with them, the villagers reported to the security department in time. After investigation and verification by the security department, they are indeed lost people. Tuling village is an old district. Although the village is small, it has a good mass base, and with its unique geographical location and natural conditions, it has the necessary conditions for the location of the third-line factory. The first generation of the main technical backbone of Pioneer Factory comes from Sichuan 296 Factory, and the rest of the employees are all qualified personnel selected from many units in Hebei Province. In the words of the time, it was "red and expert". 1966 when I first entered the factory, a dozen people or dozens of people slept on the ground floor, one crowded the other, and came back in the middle of the night, often with no place to sleep. Going to Pioneer Factory in those days may not be our conscious action, but it is our conscious action. Just like the young people in the 1930s, whether staying in Nanjing or going north to Yan 'an, we all chose the pioneer, that is, Yan 'an. The pioneer factory organized by such a group of people, whether it is a team of several people or a workshop of hundreds of people, reveals such momentum, such revolutionary enthusiasm and such desperate spirit. One is not afraid of hardship, the other is not afraid of death, and strive for strength towards the goal. Pioneer factory has shown its uniqueness from the beginning. Yang Guangxi of Workshop 22 is the leader of a group of milling workers, a six-level milling worker. In order to solve the process of chamfering the side of gearbox, a set of fast clamping fixture was designed in only two nights, and the efficiency was improved by nearly ten times. Now it seems that even senior engineers may not be so. In the dormitory, he sat cross-legged on the bed, with a drawing board, a triangular ruler and a pencil on his leg, and drew his thoughts on white paper in the dim light, which is unforgettable so far. At that time, there was no desk in the dormitory, but the more difficult the conditions were, the more talents could be trained. Many technological innovations (not called innovations at that time) were honed in this difficult place. At that time, the unit did not talk about diplomas, and individuals did not talk about taking them, but only about dedication. 1966 national day, pioneer factory achieved an annual output of 25,000 guns in less than three years, and completed the task more than two months ahead of schedule. Now it seems that in such a short time and under such simple conditions, this is a miracle. Premier Zhou Enlai once praised: Pioneer Factory is a banner of the third national line. Pioneer Factory received foreign guests from Mali and Tanzania according to the requirements of its superiors, and was highly praised by the guests. The pioneers of the older generation wrote a few lines of sincere memories for Pioneer Factory: they missed the poetic picture scroll of pioneers, caught slugs on the slope of Nanshan, picked water-absorbing stones on Dongshan, and found the sweetest red dates in the ravine. Nostalgia for pioneers, fragrant jujube rolls; Sweet jujube nectar: rich and long jujube wine. This is a world without a date! I miss the pioneers more, such a fiery age, such a burning age, such an age of heroes. Remember that the taper shank end milling cutter produced by 3 1 tool shop is better than that produced by Harbin Institute of Technology? Do you still remember the "oily meat" that the workers in the canteen of Pioneer Factory said that Baoding could not find? Daqing produced an iron man named Wang (Wang Jinxi) and Pioneer produced an iron man named Jiao (2 1 workshop master). They are the most memorable people, and what is worth remembering is our short two years. People do remember them, otherwise why did 48 years pass, when people gathered again and went back to that place? Look at the stone house where I once lived, the workshop where I worked and the villagers there. The stone house became a building, with no doors, no windows and no people. Some factories collapsed and were dilapidated, while others only left the ground and angle bolts for installing machine tools; Only the villagers there are still so enthusiastic, welcoming us as warmly as relatives reunited after a long separation. The villagers took the initiative to chat with us and reminisce about the past together. You have come and the post office has moved, so you don't have to go to Beishuiyu to post letters. The bank has also moved in, and the deposit withdrawal is in the village; The special school was built and the children went to middle school in the village; The most convenient thing is to see a doctor. If you have a headache and fever, you can go to the health care center on the 5 th. It is really convenient! Every Sunday, the small shop in Tuling will meet crowds of guests. Some of them speak Tianjin dialect, some speak Tangshan dialect, some speak Baoding dialect and even Sichuan dialect. The villagers in Tuling joked that Tuling Village has become Tuling City, which is more lively than Lingshan Town. The office building after Hebei Pioneer Factory moved to Baoding (now bankrupt and demolished) However, at the beginning of the new century, it is a painful period for state-owned enterprises. In that era of change, the collision between system and market made the working class bear great pressure and heavy reform cost. Hebei Pioneer Factory, the largest light weapons manufacturer in North China, went from prosperity to decline until bankruptcy, which brought new and old workers out of work. Spacious and tidy factory equipment has been liquidated and auctioned, and the majestic and tall office building has long since disappeared ... Only a dilapidated family area and factory gate stand in the chilly autumn wind, silently telling the past history ...
