march to victory

"Company Commander Zhang, let me tell you something interesting."

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over seriously, he smiled at Xiaobao: "You think meat is the best, but I think that if you eat too much of anything, you will vomit."

The soldiers passing by couldn't hear the word "meat" now, no, when they heard it, everyone turned their heads to look at it while marching in a hurry.If it weren't for Zhang Qingshan's glaring glaring, they might have to jump over and ask clearly: What do you mean by that?I really don't know the blessing when I am in the blessing.

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask my dad. When Lao Jiang sent troops to arrest us, we hid in the mountains for a month or two. We had nothing to eat, so we could only hunt... barbecue, boil, fry, etc. I ate meat all at once, eating it in different ways. But after eating it, I vomited whenever I saw the meat, even my dad did the same, dad, am I right?"

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?"

"Hey! Hey!" Xiaobao smiled very proudly: "Later, once, my father and I ventured down the mountain and passed a bag of valleys. Our eyes really shined green, and we jumped up to break off a few bags of valleys. , just gnaw it, the taste, tsk! tsk! For the first time in my life, I think that eating raw corn is the best food in the world..."

Hu Yingze teased him cheerfully when he heard it: "Then you haven't eaten corn again since then?"

"Why didn't you eat it? It's just that I can't find that kind of taste anymore. I thought about it carefully, probably because we haven't eaten food for a long time, so we suddenly ate it, so we have this feeling."

After coughing twice to the old man to cover up his embarrassment, he said, "Here we are."

"stop!"

The troops stopped immediately, stood where they were, but turned their heads to look over.

Hu Yingze looked around and saw that there was a big mountain on the right side of the road, and some land on the left side, with some vegetable seedlings planted loosely on it, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Uncle Xiang, can't it be here?"

When you ask this question, it sounds like someone who has never hunted before: Is there any fixed place for hunting?Even if there is, it is a very large area. Is there any reason to designate one side of the valley?

"It's just the beginning of spring, and the animals after winter are very hungry. Many times, they run to the fields to find food." Xiang Dazhu pointed to the land on the left, and said, "This mountain belongs to the stone village in front. Their The village chief came to me the day before yesterday and said that this land was severely disturbed by wild boars, and asked me to hunt wild boars for them... These vegetable seedlings should have just been planted. When I passed by here yesterday morning, I went to check the land. , They were indeed attacked by wild boars, and there are quite a few wild boars... These wild boars have not been beaten for a long time. "

Hu Yingze smiled, turned around and asked loudly, "Who wants to stay here to fight wild boars?"

"I!"

Unexpected, expected!Everyone raised their hands in unison and answered loudly.It made Hu Yingze's bright smile a little bit more awkward: How much does it have to yearn for meat to have such an aura?

"Get out! Why didn't you guys look so neat during training?"

Everyone laughed, with a little embarrassment in their smiles: The Red Army is really tough!I thought that after entering the city, I would be able to get a delicious meal to satisfy my hunger, but based on previous experience, the superior ordered not to 'rob' food from the people. , Whatever you buy, you have to increase the price. In the end, the common people can only buy these things at high prices.Therefore, after the assault company entered the city, they still did not eat the meat they imagined.But the more you don’t let them eat, the more you want to eat, especially now that you think that you will be able to eat it soon, you feel anxious like a cat’s paw. momentum.

Zhang Qingshan understands everyone's excitement, because he hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and he is equally fascinated!He said with a cheerful smile: "Don't be so anxious, everyone. This time, we will definitely be able to catch a lot of game, so that everyone can open their stomachs and eat to their fullest."

Hu Yingze at the side heard this, and asked Xiang Dazhu a little worriedly: "Uncle Xiang, are there many animals in the mountains around here?"

"It wasn't too many at first, but since we hunters left, escaped, and caught, we are the only one left. The animals in the mountains have not been hunted, so they have increased suddenly. Especially wild boars, They are especially able to give birth to cubs, and if they don't hunt for a year, they will be many times more... Especially now, the animals have just passed the winter and are very hungry. At this time, there are many wild boars in the mountains, but there is so little to eat, so, They go to the edge of the mountains and forests in groups to look for food in the fields of the common people."

Speaking of this, he sighed to Uncle Xiang and said: "Wild boars are the most damaging to the fields. They almost eat whatever they see, digging the ground while eating, and can ruin a few acres or even a dozen acres of land in one night. The common people A year's work is often ruined by them overnight. Because of this, some people lost their lives in desperation."

This is the truth. Humans are the greatest natural enemies of all animals, and hunters are the most direct natural enemies of animals in the mountains. Without the suppression of this natural enemy, it would be strange if the animals did not become rampant. In the end, it would become a disaster for the common people. crop disaster.People who are already poor, seeing this, some people get angry and act irrationally, which is normal.

"Then there is no way to drive them away? Or...even if there are fewer hunters around, but there is still the government, have you ever thought of asking them for help?"

In Hu Yingze's imagination: No matter how bastard the Kuomintang government is, they should be happy to come to hunt, relax and get delicious food.But Xiang Dazhu's answer surprised him, and even made him extremely angry.

"Why didn't you report it to the government, but the government's answer is always 'let's have a meeting to study it' and other evasions. In private, they say that bullets are expensive. If you want to invite them to encircle these animals that harm the people, you must first give them Pay the bills..."

Speaking of this, seeing that the people around him were silent, everyone opened their angry eyes, smiled at the old man, changed the subject, and said: "As for the people driving them away by themselves, it is very difficult. First of all, they are not hunters themselves. I don’t know how to hunt very much, and whether it’s an injured wild boar or a black blind man, they will eat people when they get angry. For this reason, there will be several incidents every year that cannot be driven away, but are killed and bitten by injured animals... Besides, wild boars If you don't hurt it, it doesn't remember anything, and it will come again next time, and it will bring more of its kind, then it will really be a disaster..." Speaking of which, Xiang Dazhu His waist straightened slowly, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes, and he said: "So, every year when the autumn harvest comes, it is the busiest time for us hunters, and every village and village will invite us to help them hunt. Because, We don’t need money to hunt, just give us some rice, and then give me half of the prey we catch. Compared with the bullet fees charged by the government, this is almost nothing. Therefore, on weekdays, everyone still compares hunters. Respect..." As he spoke, he slowly bent his waist again, sighed and said, "Unfortunately, now the Orion is gone, and only our father and son are left. This... how can it happen~! "

Otherwise, the instructor's awareness is high, his brain is flexible, and his perspective on problems is wider than that of ordinary people.

Others felt the same and were worried that the results of the people's labor would be destroyed by wild boars and other animals, but Hu Yingze clapped his hands heavily and shouted happily: "Okay!"

Seeing everyone looking over in confusion, he smiled happily: "Look at what I am doing? You are absolutely right to come here this time. It can not only solve the problem of comrades eating meat, but also take the opportunity to solve the problem for the surrounding villagers. , wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

Everyone thought about it one after another, felt that it made sense, and immediately laughed.

"Comrades, this time, no matter how much it costs, we must kill all these animals that dare to harm the people's crops. Do you have confidence?"

What more can I say?The assault company had to find meat for more comrades. Among other things, the medical staff and wounded in the headquarters hospital alone were a bunch of big talkers.

"Have!"

"Okay! A row..." Hu Yingze smiled and was about to give an order, but felt someone gently pull his right arm, and when he looked back, he saw Dazhu winking at him.

"Uncle Xiang, what else do you want to order?"

"Instructor Hu, let me ask you something. Are there any hunters among you? Or has anyone ever hunted?"

Hu Yingze looked at Xiang Dazhu in puzzlement. Before he could speak, Zhang Qingshan slapped his head and blamed himself: "Blame me, blame me, why didn't I think of this?"

Without explaining to Hu Yingze, Zhang Qingshan turned around and asked, "Listen up, comrades of the Assault Company, have any of you ever been hunters? Or hunted in the mountains? If so, come out immediately!"

Needless to say, two-thirds of these carefully selected heroes have hunted, and there are 21 hunters born alone-the reason for so many, to put it bluntly, is because of poverty, so that everyone They are very eager to eat meat, so they are very active in hunting in the mountains, and they have more or less hunting experience.

"Okay, gather around and listen to Comrade Xiang Xiaobao tell you the things you should pay attention to when hunting."

Xiang Xiaobao taught everyone how to hunt, Zhang Qingshan added on the side.Hu Yingze pulled Xiang Dazhu aside and asked for advice while smoking.

Hunting sounds like all you need to do is see it and shoot it, but it's far from it.Especially if you want to help people wipe out all the animals that dare to come out of the mountains to harm crops at once, you must have a strategy, and you must understand the habits of this animal and so on.For example, wild boars, they are usually dispatched in groups of a family, and they like to go the same way, and don’t look at them clumsy, they are extremely timid - they just reversed after being injured, but they have a very sensitive sense of smell .This requires you to check the footprints they left for the first time, do not step on these footprints, otherwise, the wild boars will smell the smell, then they are likely to choose another place and wait for the smell It will come back after disappearing, and that is often a few days later.Make the ambush circle you set up useless, unable to achieve the goal of a one-time total annihilation...

Another example is how to deal with injured large animals.Because no matter how these large animals were before the injury, after the injury, they will basically fight you desperately in a rage.At this time, if you want to escape, you must run according to the pre-planned route, otherwise, in all likelihood, you will be injured if you do not die.For this route, it is best to choose a place with a ridge or a slope with a relatively large slope, because any large animal will chase you from top to bottom on the slope, and when running on all fours, the body leans forward to avoid falling But when they turn into a ball and roll down the mountain, they have to use their forelimbs to stop them. In this way, the speed will definitely be greatly reduced. Therefore, the steeper the slope, the less they can catch up with you in terms of speed...

Hu Yingze and everyone shouted, "Hunting is really a craft!"
