Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 121 Before the Great Contest

The next morning.

Zhou Weihan tidied things up and said, "Old Zhao, I will leave the house to you, and you will work hard."

"I've worked hard all the time, I'm used to it, don't worry!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"The more than [-] puppet prisoners I brought back can be arranged in breeding farms and farms, and let them do logistics and make full use of them." Zhou Weihan ordered.

"Okay, old Zhou, you still said that I am usually a mother-in-law, don't you do the same, I know it well." Zhao Gang said.

Zhou Weihan didn't say any more nonsense, got on his horse and accompanied the guards, and a group of more than a dozen people headed west all the way to Chenjiayu.

Zhao Gang stood on the top of the hill and watched until he could no longer see Zhou Weihan and the others before turning around and leaving.

The words are divided into two ends, Chenjiayu is stationed.

The selection of each company was basically completed under the auspices of Jing Dagang. There were 15 people in the shooting group, 8 people in the first battalion, 5 people in the guard company, 2 people in the reserve battalion, and [-] people in the supplementary battalion.

There are 22 people in the first battalion of the bombing team, 3 people in the guard company, and 5 people in the reserve battalion.

There are 20 people in the first battalion of the bayonet group, 8 people in the guard company, and 2 people in the reserve battalion.

There are 5 places for the mortar team, three for the first battalion, one for the guard company, and one for the reserve battalion.

The group fights bayonets, the first battalion, the second company, the fourth company, the guard company, and the reserve battalion company.

Ten kilometers of cross-country, one battalion, three companies, five companies, six companies, and one supplementary battalion.

It was already afternoon when Zhou Weihan arrived at Chenjiayu.

"Head, the selection of personnel has been completed, and they are all top players." Jing Dagang said, and handed over a list of personnel to participate in the competition.

"Your first battalion has the majority!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

This situation is really normal. After all, the first battalion is the sharp knife battalion of the New Second Regiment. With a large number of people, it is normal for the first battalion to account for the majority.

"Commander, it's really not me bragging. If I hadn't asked the companies of the first battalion to be merciful, except for the guard company, the other companies would really be no match. I specifically stated that the group can only participate in one event of bayonet fighting and ten-kilometer cross-country. , otherwise these quotas will be covered by our battalion." Jing Dagang said proudly.

"Don't talk too much, what is the quality of the first battalion, you can only know after comparing them. The new regiment and the independent regiment are not just for nothing." Zhou Weihan said slowly.

"Leader, just take a look."

"When will the deputy chief of staff and the brigade commander come? Did the superior say so?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"According to the notice from the brigade headquarters, the head of the headquarters should have arrived at the brigade headquarters, and will come with the brigade commander in the evening." Jing Dagang said.

"Let the cooking team buy ten pigs from a fellow villager's house, and reward the fighters participating in the competition tomorrow. In addition, the cooking teams of each company will gather together, set up a few big pots tomorrow morning, cook some millet porridge, and steam steamed buns. Li Yunlong and the others probably wake up early, and let the soldiers have breakfast." Zhou Weihan ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

In the evening, a dozen people from the headquarters and the brigade headed to Chenjiayu, the residence of the New Second Regiment.

"Zhou Weihan, you are making a big show!" The brigade commander said first.

"Hey, brigade commander, it's nothing to do. I wanted to stimulate the training enthusiasm of the soldiers, so I held a big competition." Zhou Weihan said.

"Your idea is good. It's worth promoting in our Eighth Route Army. I specially brought the chief of the training department here, just to visit and learn." The deputy chief of staff said.

Zhou Weihan then invited all the chiefs to the house, and quickly asked Wei Dayong to notify the cooking team to bring up the prepared meals.

"Zhou Weihan, you didn't specialize, did you?" the deputy chief of staff asked looking at the food on the table.

"Chief of Staff, from what you said, our New Second Regiment originally had good food, and we improved the food for the soldiers every now and then. There was no oil and water, and the training of the soldiers couldn't be done." Zhou Weihan explained.

"Chief of Staff, the food of the New Second Regiment has always been very good, so don't be polite to him." The brigade commander said from the side.

"Then start eating and move your chopsticks." The deputy chief of staff took the lead.

After eating, the others went to the residence arranged by Zhou Weihan. Only the deputy chief of staff, the brigade commander, and Zhou Weihan were left in the house.

"It seems that you have something to say on the table, so you can say it." The deputy chief of staff said while sitting on the stool.

"Chief of Staff, I have returned to the base area of ​​the New Second Regiment this time. The agriculture and breeding industry in the base area are developing very well. I specially asked someone to compile a booklet." Zhou Weihan took out three booklets from the bookcase, one was egg breeding Artificial hatching, one is about crop planting and selection of improved varieties, and the other is about large-scale livestock breeding.

These three books were compiled by Mr. Zheng in the past two days, combining his past experience and the current situation of the Eighth Route Army base areas.

The deputy chief of staff and the brigade commander circulated several pamphlets to each other, and after a long time, they said, "Zhou Weihan, originally I just wanted to watch the big competition organized by the three regiments of you this time, but I didn't expect you to give us a big fight this time." Surprise, these three booklets mean a lot."

"Old Chen, what do you think?" the deputy chief of staff asked.

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and said with a solemn face: "This artificial incubation of eggs is a good method. If it can be promoted, it will be of great significance. But what kind of pig is this foreign white pig? I have never seen it in China."

"When I was in the Soviet Union, I went to a farm by chance and saw this breed. Its advantages are just as stated in the brochure, but it is not easy to popularize it. It cannot be done in one or two years.

This large-scale livestock breeding is very practical. There is a set of procedures from the source of feed to the treatment of livestock manure, which is very practical. " said the deputy chief of staff.

Breeding farms have been set up in the base areas long ago, but it is the first time that systematic breeding has been proposed.

"Chief of Staff, the feed for livestock is made of wheat bran, rice bran and other rapeseed cakes, bean cakes, etc., plus a small amount of grain, and the prepared feed is fermented." Zhou Weihan said.

"Not bad, these chaff and the like are not easy to digest even for livestock, but after fermentation, it is much easier to digest and can provide more nutrition for livestock. But relying on this alone, it is fine when the chicken is young, but When it comes time to lay eggs, the nutrition of these feeds may not keep up, right?"

"The secret weapon is earthworms. Feeding chickens with them can not only provide enough nutrition for the chickens, but also prevent the plague to a certain extent. There are instructions on how to raise earthworms artificially in the pamphlet," Zhou Weihan explained.

"The selection of improved varieties is also of far-reaching significance. The current grain output is too low, but the urgent solution is the chemical fertilizer in the brochure. Chemical fertilizer is a sharp tool to increase the yield per mu. The production method has always been a secret of various countries. I did not expect it to be so simple. Nitrate Water is easy to produce, but sulfuric acid may not be easy to produce on a large scale." The deputy chief of staff said with a frown.

There are already good ways to increase production, but large-scale production has become a problem. The common people basically do not have this ability. The output of the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army itself is limited, and it is impossible to produce chemical fertilizers.

"Chief of Staff, Brigadier, that's what I think. Let the technicians produce a batch first, and then see if it can be simplified. Even if the effect of the simplified fertilizer is not as good as the normal production, if it can be produced on a large scale, it is worse than nothing." Good." Zhou Weihan said.

"Well, if you are short of manpower, you can tell me, and I will drop a few people from the headquarters arsenal for you."

"In addition, in the near future, I will send people to visit and study the base of your new second regiment. At that time, I will ask them to bring a few professional comrades back and set up the stall at the headquarters. It is like a farm that can really be set up. I will remember your great contribution ’” said the deputy chief of staff.

"Yes."
