Integration,Reorganization and Production of National Government's Relocated Ordnance Factories during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,the National Government organized a large-scale relocation of the ordnance factories,and then started the integration and reorganization of these factories,so as to overcome the difficulties stemming from deficient raw materials and equipment,insufficient technology and talents,inade-quate production system and frequent enemy bombing.After measures were taken such as merger and reconstruction,the number of arsenals increased significantly.Eventually,a weapons industry layout was formed with Chongqing as the center and factories scattered in provinces of Sichuan,Yunnan,Guizhou,Shaanxi and Hunan,and with focus on the manufactur-ing of weapons and raw materials supplemented by equipment repair factories.The ordnance industry developed significant-ly,and the industrial chain became increasingly complete.The integrated arsenal actively raised raw materials,engaged in production and ordnance repairs,and improved technical experience,thus effectively promoting the improvement of ord-nance production capacity and the level of equipment repairs,and making positive contributions to the War of Resistance a-gainst Japanese Aggression.
