The Discussion Of Qijiang Iron Ore Between 1938 Of 1945

In the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese national power is leanness, even almost none of modern military equipment. During the 8 years, Chinese army campaigned against fully modernized Japanese troops, according to the theory of permanent battle to utilize general weapons. Whereas, in the initial stages of war, the eastern country was occupied rapidly and armories or bases of materials supply were controlled by Japanese, even the supply of general weapons for Chinese army was cut off. Fortunately, before the occupancy of eastern country, the main armories was moved in hinterland with a large-scale way by the Resources Committee of National Government and large quantities of war industry corporations was transited in backland, which impelled the development of military industry in southwest rear area. However, colliery, iron ore and other strategic resources could not be transferred, which only counted on the southwest rear area. Furthermore, along with eruption of several large-scale encounters, the need of military supplies from battlefront was rapidly increasing. Thus, national government needed to cosmically develop the war industry to ensure the military demand, which guarded the permanent battle against Japanese army, sequentially, to actualize strategic intention of vacuum-time.While plentiful arsenals entered into southwest rear area, the strategic materials became a tremendous problem for all the armories, which resulted in the lack of strategic materials for both battlefront and backside. To solve that significant conflict, in the early period of capital-moving in Chongqing, the national government commanded the Iron and Steel Works Committee(ISWC) to launch on preparation for kinds of producing corporations of mine materials. Before the eruption of Anti-Japanese War, Qijiang Iron Ore was a private mining area, although it had been mined from Ming Dynasty, the output was low all the time, moreover, along with the stagnancy of iron ore industry all over the country in 1935, Qijiang Iron Ore had been declined. In 1938, the ISWC prepared to establish Qijiang Iron Ore and Qijiang Iron Ore arrangement department for small-scale tentative mining. In March, 1940, the Qijiang Iron Ore Factory was officially built, which subjected to ISWC and vested in the war industry corporation of government.By adopting the operation mode of modernized company, Qijiang Iron Ore improved the production efficiency swiftly and the quantity of ore was increasing month by month. As the significant mining areas and maximal output regions for Qijiang Iron Ore Factory, Tutai, Baishitang and Daluoba had half output of 300 thousand ton. As an underling corporation of military department, Qijiang Iron Ore was uniformly managed by national government in the Anti-Japanese War. To be a state enterprise, it adopted the system of founding sectional chiefs below director. Qijiang Iron Ore mostly set up engineering section and affair section, both of them worked independently. The engineering section mainly took charge in daily production, such as material, transportation, construction, electro mechanic, assay, mill run, drilling, measure mining, etc. The affair section was responsible for medical affairs, cashier, official documents, purchase, diversified affairs and mine officers and to run the daily factory affairs, which kept the factory in a well-off way. The intestine departmental management of Qijiang Iron Ore mainly centralized in aspects of corporation organization and management, personnel management, material supplies management, financial management and so on.As an underling corporation of military department, most mines produced by Qijiang Iron Ore were officially prepared by the military department and it was distributed to each armory for military industry production. However, if the production was overmuch, it would not be distributed to ensure people’s livelihood. In the old period, it adopted indigenous method to mine and refine, whereas, after the establishment of QIOF, it used new technology and modern exploitation system to improve the output.In the period with internal struggle and foreign invasion situation, Qijiang Iron Ore was uninterrupted to produce iron ore and the output kept increasing in the background of Japanese bombing. The QIOF mostly supplied to inland moved Hanyang Iron Factory, which is named Chongqing Steel Group now. According to the passel of material production bases, Chinese armies were offered abundant logistic supply for persisting in eight years Anti-war and defeated the Japanese imperialism ultimately. On behalf of all the military industry corporations, QIOF made a great contribution.
