Chapter 254

The return of the entire trial platoon is equivalent to adding some backbones to the second battalion for nothing. The second battalion commander nagged about the value of this price. He originally thought that the weaker soldiers would drag the second battalion back in the battle, but now it seems that the wooden board that determines the water capacity of the entire wooden barrel is much higher than before. The direct result is the improvement of the overall combat effectiveness of the second battalion. At the same time, the combat data and records brought back by Li Wei and Fan Guowen provide valuable reference experience for all soldiers.

After Li Wei and his team returned, the second battalion's training program changed. It was no longer a comprehensive and balanced training, but a targeted supplementary training for the current weaknesses of the Eighth Route Army and the enemy's weaknesses, which was a training of psychological quality.

The captives of the puppet army went through the second division and directly exchanged people for goods, and exchanged them for a batch of food and medicine. The puppet army, as the prisoners, had no objection at all, and was simply pulled into the team by the 28th Regiment for re-education.

The harvest brought back by the trial operation made the second battalion's logistics platoon leader, Tong Platoon leader, who was in charge of logistics, enjoyed a lot of money. These additional platoons immediately enriched the economy of the second battalion.

The melodious sound of wake up in the morning pulled Li Wei out of his dreamland, opened his eyes and looked at the stone slabs on the roof. He was stunned for a while before he got up and put on his clothes, preparing for the day's mission.

Whenever in a dream, Li Wei suddenly mistakenly thought that he would suddenly return to modern times. There was no tap water, no electricity, no TV, no telephone, and even a four-wheeled car was a rare thing. This really caused a huge psychological gap, a person who grew up in modern society.

It was already March of spring, and the ice and snow had melted. The slightly warm smell in early spring made the earth look green, and wild vegetable heads appeared on many of the land, which also made the military and civilians in the base area feel relieved. As long as there were wild vegetables, the extremely tense food shortage problem in the base area could be slightly alleviated.

With the enemy's blockade and sweep, it is difficult for the base areas to maintain the demand for the main combat troops. Judging from the effectiveness of the Yan'an Party Central Committee's guards' guards last year, all base areas have begun to learn from the Party Central Committee, reliance and self-sufficiency. The superiors of the Eighth Route Army issued an order to participate in the agricultural reclamation of the entire army. If there is no cattle, use people and build them by themselves without tools. There are always more methods than difficulties. The troops at all levels are mobilized immediately. Li Wei's Second Battalion is no exception. Most of the soldiers come from the countryside, and farming is almost familiar to them.

Stepping on the ground where the frost is still in the early spring, the soldiers are already busy building terraces and reclaiming new fields.

The party organization in the first district also opened a small blacksmith shop, which was built on the spot, relied on the enemy's railway tracks and steel and local coal, and opened up people to produce agricultural tools with all their might to supply this market that was completely in short supply, and the business was extremely booming.

Li Wei was so tickled that he wanted to pour some farm tools from Huangyadong Arsenal to do wholesale and earn some pocket money.

The second battalion circle has more than 3,000 acres of land, without plowing oxen. Several strong soldiers manually pulled the steel plowshare and broke the strong frozen soil. Li Wei unfortunately became one of them. He has always been called "a oxen man", and his output power was surprisingly large, which made the second battalion commander think that he can make the best use of himself.

"I am really willing to be a ox for a child!" Li Wei has no experience in going to the field after becoming a teaching master of children. He relies on his perverted brute force, and he ran around the ground with a plowhead. He was just a human-shaped tractor. Five soldiers from a squad supported the plow desperately. If there was any negligence, the plow would be overturned.

It's almost done, but the twisting ridges are really eye-catching.

"This!~~" Even Li Wei could see that the work he did was simply rough, and the brothers in other classes were much better at meticulous work than him.

"Squad leader! Why don't we plow again?" Sun Yuzhi asked tentatively. He felt embarrassed to tell people that he was a farmer, and the plowing land was like being swept by a machine gun from a Japanese plane.

"It's so careless, it's not embroidery!" Zhuang Dongrong, who came from the nomadic house, didn't care whether the plow was straight or not.

Guo Wei was haha, and relieved the squad leader with a slightly red face and said, "That's it, the key is to loosen the soil! Hurry up and plant it!"

The task of refining land in Class 1 was very heavy. Looking at a large open slope, the class was speechless in tacit understanding. The revolution had not been successful yet, and the comrades still needed to work hard.

After two days of trimming, the ash, silt and manure were sprinkled with the whole piece of land, and then the whole piece was made, barely creating a land that was a bit like a ghost-drawn. The instructor of the inspection company, Ding Heyang, frowned, and hum! It seems that Little Lizi is not omnipotent, and there are things he can't do. Remember this one, this is a big shortcoming, and you need to educate him well.

In the season, we sow selected wheat seeds, corn seeds, soybeans, sweet potatoes, rapeseed and other crops. Every day, soldiers will carry hoes to the responsible fields assigned to the camp to clear weeds, water, fertilize and remove insects, and pay close attention to the fields almost as their ancestors.

The battle did not make Li Wei feel tired, but the farm work made Li Wei exhausted. As the saying goes, the fat water will not be left to the outsiders' fields, and even if you urinate, you have to accumulate it into the fat water puddles in the camp. The poultry and livestock manure that is often left on the road is often accumulated because of the accumulation of fertilizer. As soon as it falls to the ground, it will be snatched away by the sweeping soldiers.

Li Wei was really depressed: "Damn, what's the point of stool that can be stool?!" A word that was so honest that it could not be more honest, and he immediately laughed at a lot of people. Only rural soldiers would consider this kind of plain and busy life as enjoyment.

As the early spring weather warmed up, the first crop seedlings slowly exposed their heads. The soldiers took care of these crops more and more. Li Wei and several soldiers also brought more than a dozen chicks and ducks from nearby farmers' homes. The worms, earthworms, weeds and leftovers that they usually caught from the fields were easy to feed, and they were still the chickens.

If it weren't for going out to work from time to time, Li Wei would have really thought he was living in a quiet and peaceful pastoral life.

The extremely regular life continued until early April, and the sudden natural disaster caught the troops in various sub-districts of the Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area off guard.

Originally, Li Wei was always worried about the upcoming May Japanese army's large-scale mobilization attack. Whether it was the battalion headquarters or the regiment, he kept reminding him when he was caught by the battalion commander and the leader that he would subtly organize soldiers to actively prepare for the May Day mobilization campaign launched by Okamura Yasuji.

Unexpectedly, the man-made disaster was not coming, but the natural disaster came early, and it came so suddenly and violently.

During lunch break, the soldiers on the playground suddenly exclaimed, and at some point a few faint clouds of smoke appeared in the sky, and there was a strange buzzing sound.

Soon everyone saw clearly that there were countless small dots flying in the sky, and they flew directly over the sky above their heads, as if endless. In a blink of an eye, the small dots flying in the sky quickly fell to a large area on the ground.

In the direction where the smoke and clouds came, there seemed to be some uneasy commotion in several villages, and the people in the village ran out.

"Locust!~~~~~" Even in the face of heavy Japanese troops sweeping, the shrill screams suddenly rang in the Second Camp Camp.

The warrior who first saw clearly what was flying in the sky pointed at the sky with no face, pointed at the sky slightly, and shouted: "It's a locust, my god!" He turned to look at the wheat field outside the camp that had entered the grouting period, with a look of earth on his face.

Farmers who rely on the land to make a living know what the large swarm of locusts mean?! It is even more terrible than the Japanese devils' large sweep, and there is no harvest in the area where they pass.

Before the soldiers of the Second Battalion responded, the locusts in the sky fell like rain. For a moment, the camp was filled with locusts jumping around, jumping around and pounced on them when they saw green plants.

The farmland outside the camp was immediately affected. The branches and leaves were stretched just now, and the wheat seedlings covered with ears were immediately filled with a pile of strong locusts. After a while, only a short piece of bare poles were left.

"Ah!~~~Oh my God!"

"Quick, hurry, kill them!"

The nest suddenly exploded in the second battalion. Without orders, all the soldiers immediately picked up the handy things and slaughtered the flying locusts everywhere. No one could feel more distressed about these crops than these soldiers. These are their life roots. How could they tolerate these hateful pests eating them?

When sweeping the branches, as long as the things that could kill the locusts were caught by the soldiers, they rushed into the fields, and they would beat them like crazy when they saw the locusts.

Li Wei just woke up and slept open the dormitory door, looking at the big bugs jumping around in the yard. The chickens and ducks raised in the camp were happily chasing these uninvited guests who fell from the sky, "my god!" Li Wei was stupid! ~

He was almost fainting, and he had no experience in farming, but he still recognized the locusts. He finally planted some food, but the Japanese did not come to grab it, but fed the insects first.

"Fuck you, God! The Eighth Route Army has a grudge against you, fuck!" Li Wei was almost mad and he tightened his middle finger towards the sky.

Swarms of locusts flew in the sky, staring to find every inch of green on the ground.

No matter how arrogant Li Wei is, he can't deal with so many locusts, and he almost cried without tears. He doesn't want to eat these disgusting locusts, no matter how high protein is, it doesn't work.

"Cares above the class hold a meeting!" Wu Ergou, the second battalion commander who was also a farmer, had his eyes almost red.

The squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander quickly gathered in the playground. This was a serious situation that had never happened before. The huge rustling sound of locusts chewing as if they were chewing everyone's hearts. There was no extra nonsense. Battalion Commander Wu Ergou went straight to the topic: "I want to recruit you! How do you treat this damn bug for me? Otherwise, everyone would have to use this bug as food."
