Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

A few days later, there was a red area in all the villages of the Beishan Detachment, which looked like a green and yellow land dotted with red flowers.

Especially in Liangjia Village, where the detachment headquarters was stationed, the training ground outside the village was occupied by red and yellow. But on the ground of the training ground, there were all kinds of mats, and even large baskets and other things. And in these straw mats, baskets, and baskets, there were dates of different sizes.

As for the yellow color? Those are the corn cobs placed directly on the ground to dry! The round corn cobs were placed side by side to dry in the sun, and the scene was quite spectacular.

At this time, the concentrated picking in the wild mountains has ended. These fresh dates need to be exposed to the sun. They don't need to be dried for 180 days. They just need to dry the bright red and juicy dates into dried dates! These red dried dates will be stored by the logistics officers and soldiers of the detachment as part of the army's rations.

With dates and corn drying here, many small animals will naturally come! Just like what is said in the textbook, little sparrows will come, little hedgehogs will come, little mice will come, cats and dogs will come... Of course, the most are children!
Under the protection of the detachment, the children in the base area were not devastated by the war. Especially the children born after the guerrillas were re-stationed in Liangjia Village, they grew up happily for several years.

Therefore, all the children, big and small, gathered on the training ground, playing and laughing, helping to drive away the birds, catching hedgehogs and playing with them... Occasionally, a few greedy ones would take a few dates and stuff them into their mouths when the sentries were not paying attention.

Of course, the little actions that the children thought were secretive could not be hidden from the sentinels. After all, the sentinels were all local soldiers and grew up as children. However, the detachment headquarters had an order not to care about the children stealing food. They were just greedy. The little guys were at the age when they wanted to taste dog shit! Almost every family in Liangjia Village had a jujube tree. Who didn't have dozens of kilograms of jujubes at home?

Let me explain a little bit. In the beginning, there were many women and children in Liangjia Village, after all, all the adult men had died. But later, the people from Yinjiulang Village lived here, some widows started families, and some men chose to stay in the village, so there were many two or three-year-old children in Liangjia Village.

In this era, it is extremely difficult to have offspring, to have children, and to let them grow up.

The autumn harvest and planting season seemed particularly long, at least much longer than the wheat harvest! During this long period of time, Li Yuexuan ran around and built silage pools at each station of the detachment. He also personally supervised and inspected and filled each pool with silage.

Li Yuexuan was not tired, just a little busy! For example, he would lead people to draw a lot of blueprints by hand, and distribute these blueprints to each garrison, so that the soldiers in the garrison could build the pool according to the blueprints.

Then, after repairing the pond, he would ride a sidecar motorcycle and check each garrison under the protection of the special service team, and then divide the types and proportions of silage feed for the person in charge of the garrison, such as two parts of corn stalks should be matched with one part of bean stalks, or corn stalks with millet stalks. He would personally teach the matching ratio, and only after checking that it was correct would he let the soldiers start working.

The soldiers used a guillotine to chop up the straw, fill it into the pool, and compact it. A pool must be completed within one day, and the covering and sealing must be done. Li Yuexuan would check the results one by one... Li Yuexuan was just busy, but the soldiers were exhausted! For example, the driver of the tank plowing the land seemed to have an easy job, but anyone who did it knew how difficult it was; and the soldiers who drove the cattle and horses to plow the land had to follow as far as the cattle and horses walked, and they had to pay attention to the direction, feeding, and drinking water, so as not to let the animals get sick.

The other soldiers were also tired! The villagers handed in the straw to the village. If there was no need to raise livestock in the village, the soldiers would push it back to the base with a cart and make it into silage. Of course, they would also leave enough straw for raising livestock...

When planting wheat, three soldiers pulled the plow cart in front, and one soldier held the plow cart and ran back and forth in the field. The soft soil left deep footprints, but they had to walk over and over step by step until all the wheat seeds were planted. Then, they watered the field...

Those plots of land near the river, with dams, or with water trucks to draw water were actually better, as they only needed to modify the water inlet of the canal. But the terraced fields were not easy to deal with! The soldiers would carry the water pumps seized from the Japanese to the waterside, connect the rubber water pipes seized from the Japanese, and finally complete the work of diverting water upwards, and then irrigate the fields...

Anyway, during the autumn harvest and planting season, no one can be idle!

Of course, the final result is also very gratifying!

"I did some statistics!" Zhu Xingyu picked up a small notebook and said in the small conference room of Liangjia Village, "First, the 400 mu of irrigated land near the detachment headquarters. I weighed the output of 5 mu of land. On average, one mu of land produced 579 kilograms of corn kernels! 400 mu of land can eventually produce 231600 kilograms of corn. In addition, the beans interplanted with corn also produced more than 4 kilograms!"

"In addition, there are 150 mu of military reclamation fields in the Third Division and 210 mu of military reclamation fields in the First Regiment, which probably also have similar harvests. In addition to irrigated land, there are also dry lands and small plots of land on the mountain. We also have a lot of harvests! For example, our entire detachment harvested a total of 1879 kilograms of sesame, more than 16 kilograms of millet, and more than 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes..."

"These are just the harvests from our own military farms. In the rest of the time, we will collect taxes from the entire base. The specific harvest will definitely be more than our own harvest. We can't calculate the result now. In short, don't worry, we won't be short of food in the next year!"

After hearing what Zhu Xingyu said, the cadres present were all delighted! Sufficient food means that the army can be fed! We can also grow more livestock and poultry to supplement meat! With these, the entire detachment only needs to focus on training and production, and that will be a strong situation!

The troops are strong and the horses are strong. We need to accumulate strength. When the Japanese invaders come to raid us next time, it won’t be as simple as active defense! Everyone has this idea in their mind... (End of this chapter)
