In the 1960s, in order to cope with the urgency of the international environment and the needs of national defense construction, in order to protect the foundation of the country's heavy industry, strategic transfers were carried out to hidden areas, and most of the destinations transferred were within the third line of defense, so it was also called three-line construction, and third-line construction was also called third-line factory. Most of the third-line factories are mainly military products, and the third-line factories are also called military factories. Guang'an City is located in the mountainous and semi-mountainous areas of eastern Sichuan, which is suitable for concealment and construction of third-line factories, and many arsenals were also built in Guang'an County at that time. After entering the industrial integration at the beginning of this century, it also went to the empty building with people, leaving behind factories and staff dormitories.
According to the layout of Sichuan's third-line construction in that year, the main highlights were two bases and one line, panzhihua vanadium and titanium steel and chongqing peripheral conventional weapons bases were two bases, and the first line referred to the Chengdu-Chongqing line. From 1965 to 1972, there were 10 third-line factories in HuayingShan District, including Hongguang (Lushi Town), Huaguang (Matou Village, Tianchi Town), Mingguang (Shuanghe Street Water Bamboo Forest), Jinguang (Guanyinxi Town), Xingguang (Lu Town), Yongguang (Solo Township), Jianghua (Qinghua Town), Great Wall (Xikou Town), Liaoyuan (Xikou Town), and Southwest Glass Factory (Longnu Town, Wusheng County). Most of the 10 third-line factories were built in HuayingShan District, and the establishment of Huaying City many years later may be related to these third-line factories.
The construction period of the third line is divided into the third line and the small third line from the first and then the third line, and the construction time of the Original Factory, the Great Wall Factory and the Southwest Glass Factory is also called the small third line. Located in Xikou Town, Huaying City, the Great Wall Factory mainly produces Type 56 submachine guns and Type 63 automatic rifles, and the Original Factory mainly produces bullets, and the Two factories are mutually reinforcing.
The Great Wall Factory was relocated from the Neijiang area to the former Yuechi County Xikou Commune Jue'an Brigade in August 1968, and began construction at the end of 1968 to early 1972, mainly producing a number of military products such as type 56 submachine guns and type 63 automatic rifles. Before the 1980s, the Type 56 submachine gun and the Type 63 automatic rifle were most of the army's light weapons from these two types of firearms.
The Type 56 submachine gun is the Chinese version of the Soviet AK47, officially known as the submachine gun produced in 1956, the Type 56 submachine gun, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, the Type 56 light machine gun and the three major families of guns known as the Type 56. In 1950 with the help of the Soviet Union to establish a military factory, technical data, production equipment are imported from the Soviet Union, in 1956 the finalized formal mass production, the same period 56 gun family officially replaced the Type 53 rifle, 38 large cover and M1903 Springfield rifle to become the continental army standard infantry weapons, the Type 56 submachine gun was finally replaced by the 81 bar 1 in the 80s.
The Type 63 semi-automatic rifle was developed and improved on the basis of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and the Type 63 semi-automatic rifle was put into use and officially announced that the automatic rifle had entered the era of localization. Compared with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, the Type 63 semi-automatic rifle has significantly improved the reliability of continuous fire, the reliability of action in the same environment and climate, and the accuracy and life of shooting. Most of the exports of light weapons come from the Type 63, which is mistakenly known as the Type 68 semi-automatic rifle abroad.
The arrival of the Great Wall Factory and the Liao Original Factory, the small countryside in the mountainous areas is suddenly lively, mainly reflected in the increase in population, coupled with the fact that at this time it is the peak period of military orders, and the Great Wall Factory roars all day long. Workers, students, and villagers are mixed together, and the liveliness at this time is no less than that of the downtown area in the city, and some people call this place a small Hong Kong without a dock.
After entering the 1980s, the country carried out disarmament, military orders gradually decreased, and the Great Wall factory also followed the tide, producing military products and civilian products at the same time. At that time, the civil products such as water pumps and civilian shotguns produced by the Great Wall Factory occupied most of the domestic market in the same industry, and also ushered in another prosperity for the Great Wall Factory, which was almost idle. After entering the 1990s, the international environment eased, coupled with the national industrial adjustment, the third-line factory hidden in the hidden area was transferred to the urban area, the Great Wall Factory and the Liao Original Factory were gradually moved to nanchong city at the end of the 90s, and the two third-line factories in Xikou Town were relocated in 2002, and its historical mission was also completed.
The third-line factory is produced in a specific historical background and international environment, but also disappeared in a specific period and peaceful environment, the biggest reason for its disappearance is that the place is too remote, the production cost is too high and technological innovation can not keep up, and finally the gradual disappearance is inevitable. The once red-hot production workshop and busy production workers are no longer reproduced, and now all that remains is a building that is idle or even gradually collapsing naturally, which seems spectacular but has some unspeakable regrets in the heart.
Xikou Town arose due to the existence of third-line factories, and at the same time, there were not only third-line factories but also many supporting factories in Xikou Town, which also supported this small Hong Kong without a wharf. After entering the beginning of this century, the third-line factory was relocated to other places, many supporting factories also moved out, the factory relocation was accompanied by the departure of workers and the exodus of most of the population, the small Hong Kong population without a dock exceeded 100,000 people at its peak, and today's Xikou Town is not as good as in the past, abandoned factories and idle facades can be seen everywhere, and it is almost unimaginable that Xikou Town was once a military city of more than 100,000 people.
The factory of the Great Wall Factory also attracts foreign investment, and Xikou Town is far from the urban area for the merchants there is not much new gravity, but Xikou Town is located at the foot of Huaying Mountain, the natural scenery comes from the original ecology, streams, waterfalls, caves and other natural attractions, coupled with the former site of the third-line factory, presumably the number of tourists who come to play will gradually increase in the future. I heard that in the future, there will be a railway station in Gaoxing, whether it is really debatable, if there is really a way to come to Xikou Town in the future, it will be more convenient. Friends who like to visit the third-line factory, why not come and walk when you have the opportunity, and wish everyone a pleasant journey.
