Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The comrades of the Second Brigade were working hard outside, and the comrades who stayed in the Beishan base didn't seem to be affected. Everyone collected taxes, trained, and patrolled, and the entire Beishan base was a peaceful and tranquil environment.

It is October in the Gregorian calendar. The autumn harvest and planting are all done. Some of the wheat seedlings that started early have even sprouted tender little buds, which look very delicate on the yellow-brown soil. But in the eyes of ordinary people, these tender green wheat seedlings are so lovely! The tender wheat seedlings will grow taller and taller, then tiller and survive the winter, and next year there will be a full season of wheat!
In fact, in the eyes of northern farmers, no matter corn or millet, rice or sweet potatoes, none of these crops are as precious as wheat! Even though millet is rich in nutrition, even though corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes have high yields, even though soybeans can be used to extract oil, make tofu and feed horses, even though rice can be threshed and pounded into white, tender and crystal rice, none of them are as good as wheat!
Tell a joke that is not funny. No matter how unfunny CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is, they will make dumplings on New Year's Eve to make people laugh. Even if it is turned into a joke, it is still funny! Well, no matter how you laugh, even if it is ridiculed, you are still grinning, right? So you see, dumplings are so important, and making dumplings is inseparable from white flour!
Right? Haven't you heard CCTV's Spring Festival Gala say that people make pancakes, steam rice, cook millet porridge, roast sweet potatoes, and stew potatoes during the Spring Festival? Even radishes are higher in status than these, like a gathering of heroes!
Question: How much does a cup of Palace Jade Liquor + a big hammer for a day + a small hammer for a day equal?

In the autumn fields, besides wheat, you can also see green places, that is the vegetable fields! Carrots, water radishes, white radishes...all kinds of radishes have tender green cherries on top, contributing large areas of green to the vegetable fields, a real gathering of heroes (cherries). After these radishes are dug out and transported back to the village, what is left in the vegetable fields is cabbage!

Especially the military farms at the garrisons of each brigade, near the river and water source, there are large vegetable fields, which are where the comrades are provided with vegetables! For example, these radishes can be stored in the cellar for a whole winter, so there will be vegetables to eat this winter! And the cherries of carrots have a strong smell, so they are usually used to feed pigs and sheep.

The cherries of the radish and water radish, which have a bland smell and slightly spicy taste, are chopped up, added to ground soybeans, and cooked in a large pot to make the delicacy commonly known as dregs tofu!

There are also radishes. Cut them into pieces and dry them in the sun. Then marinate them with five-spice flour, soy sauce and salt. They become five-spice radish cubes, which is also a common dish for comrades.

The growth period of cabbage is longer, or the harvest time is ten days later than that of radish, because cabbage is more frost-resistant and can continue to grow before the frost. When the cabbage is harvested from the field, there will be no green in the whole field. Maybe in the peanut field, you can find some peanuts that have escaped the net this year and grow seedlings regardless of the season?
Well, it’s the slack season during the farming season. Farmers really don’t have much free time. Maybe they have some free time in the winter, but they still have to take care of the large livestock at home.

Of course, without having to work in the fields, the people would have more time, so it would be easier to recruit strong laborers to strengthen the city defense construction, build water conservancy facilities, and even dig some terraces on the barren hills around that lack trees to increase the harvest! Of course, if the barren hills are full of jujube trees, forget it, just graft the jujube trees with jujube branches!
For example, this year, when the autumn harvest was completed, the comrades hurried to work in and outside the village and the mountains to harvest the jujube trees that had not been well managed after the grafting. Then, the drying yard was bright red again, with all kinds of red dates. Of course, there were also people who collected honey, but not much wild honey was collected at this time of year.

As for the beehives we keep at home, we won’t collect a lot at this time because of the cold weather and the absence of nectar-producing plants. We only collect a small portion to leave enough food for the bees.

Don't be too cruel. Even if bees live like cattle and horses, you can't kill them all. You have to leave them some life capital. Well, this sentence seems a bit wrong, because cattle and horses, such large animals, don't really work much. They only work in the fields during spring and autumn ploughing. In normal times, apart from pulling carts, they just stay in the shed and enjoy good food and drinks...

Soldiers are not beasts of burden, they need to be trained every day, so after the Second Battalion left, the militiamen under the Beishan Detachment had another training session, but this time it was a dispersed training session. The training location was a militia company gathered from several surrounding villages, and then various trainings were carried out around these villages.

There are many benefits to such training, but the key is to select the location! Some strategically important villages are basically the key areas for training. Then, with these villages as nodes and the surrounding villages as radiation, the militiamen are concentrated in these villages for intensive training. The purpose is self-evident. Once the enemy goes deep, the militiamen can easily gather at these nodes to fight.

Therefore, when the Second Battalion's battle record in the south was reported back to the Beishan Detachment, Zhao Danian and his team discussed it and asked people to pass the good news to the militiamen who were training. The militiamen knew about it, and the people also knew about it. In addition to the harvest, the entire base area welcomed another exciting good news. Of course, the news was good, and the training still had to go on.

At the 772nd Regiment of the Second Division of Taiyue, the comrades of the Second Battalion took ten hours to get here from the First Division. It was not that the comrades walked slowly, but it was more than 80 miles from Guodao Town to here, and they had to go around the besieged Qinyuan in the middle, so it took some time.

Fortunately, the comrades of the First Division did not ignore everything. They sent a team of more than 300 people to accompany them along the way and help bring the "gifts" for the 386th Brigade. Of course, they did not bring all the gifts. The First Division also left some behind. They did not care about Guo Liandong's specific affairs.

When they arrived at the 772nd Regiment's base, the comrades of the Second Battalion could feel that their captain's mood had become enthusiastic! There was no way, the First Division was at most a brother unit, and the 772nd Regiment was truly an old unit, that was the mother's family! Therefore, when Guo Liandong saw the comrades of the 772nd Regiment, he felt like a daughter-in-law returning to her mother's home.

Since the "married daughter" had returned to her parents' home, the 772nd Regiment also entertained her well. Even though it was late, the comrades had hot meals. As for the battle? Wait, we'll talk about it tomorrow... (End of this chapter)
