Former site of Huangyadong Arsenal (the sixth batch of national security)

Time: 1939—— 1943

Address: Xiachiyu Village, Huangyadong Town, Licheng County

"Huangyadong" is the name of a mountainous area, which generally refers to the area of about 10 square kilometers in Fiona Fang. At that time, the arsenal was built in Shuiyao Valley, including production area, management area and living area. The residue of the factory and some workshops repaired later exist, leaving only ruins in the family area. From the factory to the north, is Huanglong Cave, which is a natural cave, above the cliff, which was the ammunition depot of that year. General Zuo Quan's office is located at the base of the cliff opposite the cave.

Huang Yadong Arsenal was expanded by Han Zhuang Machinery Repair Institute, 1939. At that time, the annual output of weapons could be equipped with 16 regiment, which was mainly supplied to the battlefield in North China. 1943, the Japanese army invaded the arsenal, and the factory was seriously damaged, so it was evacuated to Pingshun Xi 'an Village.

Huangyadong is located in the middle of the mountain in the west of Shangchiyu Village, Diya Town, northeast of Licheng County, facing a long and narrow valley flat, with an area of about 10 square kilometer. It is named after a natural cave that can accommodate 100 people on the yellow cliff at an altitude of 1600 meters. This is the former site of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal and the battlefield site of the "Huangyadong Defence War". This is a newly opened tourist attraction, surrounded by towering peaks and cliffs, which combines the majesty and grandeur of Taihang Mountain.

1July, 939, the Eighth Route Army Military Department established an arsenal in Shuiyaoshan, Huangyadong, following the instructions of Zuo Quan, commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff. Mainly produces rifles, grenades, ponytails, 50 guns and so on. The weapons produced each year can be equipped with 16 regiments, which was the main ordnance base of the Eighth Route Army at that time.

194 1 year1/month 1 1 day to 19, more than 5,000 people from the 4th and 6th mixed brigades of the 36th Japanese Division landed in the * * * department of Jingguan. More than 900 officers and men of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Secret Service Corps were ordered to defend. With the help of natural disasters, he fought bloody battles with the enemy for eight days and nights, wiped out more than a thousand people, and achieved a brilliant record of 6-0 enemy casualties, "setting an unprecedented record of enemy casualties in the history of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895", which once again shattered the plot of the Japanese army in North China to destroy our army's production. In the book "Comprehensive Research on Campaign", the CMC evaluated this campaign as a "model campaign against" mopping up "since 194 1.

After the founding of New China, the local government has always regarded Huangyadong as the base of revolutionary tradition education and patriotism education. The infrastructure has been gradually improved, some old sites have been restored, tourist attractions have been opened up, Bolong Mountain Villa, which integrates eating, living and entertainment, and the tourism project of "Being the Eighth Route Army for a Day" have been added, which is very popular among tourists.

Visitors start from Bolong Mountain Villa and pass through the white marble glazed archway inscribed by Comrade Huang Yadong, which is the entrance of Wengyi Gallery. The corridor is 0.5 kilometers long, and the cliffs on both sides are close to each other. Looking up, it is as narrow as the sky, facing the Qingquan Waterfall, throwing pearls and splashing jade, and there is a danger that "one person will defend it, and ten thousand people cannot force it". Out of the gallery, there is a stone ramp of 120, and there is a bunker next to it. The situation is very dangerous. Cui, the trumpeter of 17 years old, accidentally wiped out more than 100 Japanese invaders, and finally died heroically. The road ahead is suddenly enlightened, and it is a newly-built alpine park. In the middle, the spring water is blocked into a lake, and a six-way slab bridge is erected to build an "elite pavilion" for tourists to enjoy the scenery and have a rest. Surrounded by strange peaks and rocks, clouds and waterfalls, and decorated with Zhenwo Pagoda, Feihong Bridge and Xiaoshan Pavilion, it forms a vibrant landscape picture. Climbing up the mountain step by step is the martyrs cemetery. The cemetery consists of monuments, tombs of martyrs, inscriptions and memorial halls, standing among pines and cypresses. The cliff mountainside 500 meters northwest of the cemetery is Huangya Cave, and pedestrians can climb sideways along the iron ladder. The cave is trumpet-shaped, with a width of 18m, a depth of 72m and a height of 25m. This used to be the warehouse of an arsenal. There are two yellow dragons lying between the cliffs, which set off the atmosphere. According to legend, Huanglong helps the sky and gives rain to the people. Over time, the yellow smoke of Huanglong makes the cliff wall a mess, so Huangya Cave is also called Huanglong Cave and Huangyan Cave.

Walking down Huangya Cave is the humble room of Zuo Quan, deputy chief of staff. Going southeast along the mountain road is the former site of Shuiyao Arsenal, where the battle of "Blood-stained Shuijiaokou" took place. Today, the old site still exists. When visitors saw the extremely difficult environment and living conditions in those years, the military wives made the greatest sacrifice for the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines, and they were all very excited. So, on the head of Nanshan, there is a square pavilion, in which stands a "monument to the water kiln arsenal", which is eloquent and sonorous, praising the great achievements of the creators of the people's military industry.

Huangya Cave, steep peaks, rushing waterfalls and lush trees constitute a natural park. Therefore, the state recently approved the establishment of Huangyadong National Forest Park, which injected new vitality into the tourism industry of Huangyadong.
