The country is broken

The return of the entire trial rehearsal is equivalent to adding some backbones to the Second Battalion for nothing. The Second Battalion Commander kept nagging about the value of the tickets. He originally thought that those weaker fighters would drag the Second Battalion back in the battle, but now It seems that the piece of wood that determines the water capacity of the entire wooden barrel is much higher than before, and 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 are for All fighters provide valuable reference experience.

The training program of the Second Battalion changed after Li Wei and the others returned. It was no longer a comprehensive and balanced training, but a supplementary training aimed at the weaknesses of the Eighth Route Army and the enemy. The exercise of mental quality.

The captives of the puppet army passed through the second division, directly exchanging people for things, and returned a batch of food and medicine. The puppet army as prisoners had no objection at all, and was simply pulled into the team by the 28th regiment for re-education .

The harvest brought back from the trial operation made the second battalion's logistics platoon leader and boy platoon leader happy to earn a lot of money. These extra income made the second battalion's economy much better immediately.

The melodious sound of the wake-up call in the morning pulled Li Wei out of his dreamland. He opened his eyes and looked at the stone slabs on the roof. [

Whenever in his dreams, Li Wei would suddenly mistakenly think that he would suddenly return to the modern age. There was no running water, no electricity, no TV, no telephone, and the era when even a four-wheeled car was a rarity. This person who grew up in modern society will have a huge psychological gap.

At this time, it has entered the spring of March, the ice and snow have melted, and the warm breath of early spring has made the earth green, and wild vegetables have sprouted on many fields, which also made the soldiers and civilians in the base area breathe a sigh of relief. , as long as there are wild vegetables, the extremely tense food shortage problem in the base area can be slightly alleviated.

Due to the enemy's blockade and raids, the food production in the base areas has become difficult to maintain the needs of the main combat troops.Judging from the effectiveness of the Yan'an Party Central Guard Forces' large-scale land reclamation last year, all base areas have begun to learn from the Party Central Committee, self-reliant, and self-sufficient. The superiors of the Eighth Route Army issued an order for the entire army to participate in agricultural reclamation. .There are always more solutions than difficulties. The troops at all levels were mobilized immediately, and Li Wei's Second Battalion was no exception. Most of the soldiers came from the countryside, and they were almost familiar with farming.

Stepping on the ground that is still frosty in early spring, the soldiers are already busy building terraced fields and cultivating new fields.

The party organization in a district also opened a small blacksmith's shop by itself, using local materials, relying on the enemy's rail steel and local coal, and mobilized the people to produce farm tools with all their strength.To supply this is completely in short supply to the market.Business is booming.

Seeing that, Li Wei was hesitant to import some agricultural tools from the Huangyadong Armory to do wholesale and earn some pocket money.

The Erying circle has more than 3000 mu of land, and there are no farming cattle.A few strong warriors manually pulled the steel plowshares to break through the solid frozen soil. Unfortunately, Li Wei also became one of them. ", but the output power is surprisingly large, which makes the Second Battalion Commander think he can make the best use of it.

"It's really bowing down and willing to be a bully" reduced to a child who can be taught. Li Wei has no experience in going to the fields, all relying on his abnormal brute force, dragging a plowshare all over the ground by himself, and the whole person looks like a human tractor.A group of five soldiers held on to the plow desperately, and if they were negligent, they would overturn the plow.

It's almost fast, but the twisted ridges are really eye-catching.

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

"Squad leader! How about we plow again?" Sun Yuzhi asked tentatively. He felt ashamed to tell others that he was a farmer, and the plow was as if it had been swept by a machine gun from a devil plane. of.

"So-so, it's not embroidery!" Zhuang Dongrong, who came from a nomadic family, didn't care whether the plow was straight or not.

Guo Wei laughed, and rescued the blushing squad leader: "That's it, the key is to loosen the soil and plant it quickly."

The task of land reclamation in the first class is very heavy.Looking at a large open sloping land, the whole group spoke tacitly, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

After two days of trimming, plant ash, river ditch silt and manure were sprinkled, and the whole land was reorganized again, and a field that looked like a ghost had been dug out was barely created. The inspector of the land company, Ding Heyang, frowned head, hum!It seems that Xiao Lizi is not omnipotent, and there are things he doesn't know. This must be noted. This is a big shortcoming, and he must be educated.

Seize the season, sow selected wheat seeds, corn seeds, soybeans, sweet potatoes, rapeseed and other crops. Every day after training, soldiers will carry hoes to the responsibility field assigned by the battalion to clear weeds and water the fields. Fertilize with water and eliminate insects, and the level of care is almost like offering the fields like ancestors.

The war didn't make Li Wei feel tired, but the farm work made Li Wei exhausted. As the saying goes, don't leave the fertile water in the field for outsiders, and you have to urinate in the fat puddle in the camp. Usually, the small roads often leave livestock behind. Feces, because of the accumulation of fertilizer, as soon as they fall on the ground, they will be snatched up by the mopping-up soldiers.

Li Wei was really depressed: "Damn it, what is there to grab land for a piece of shit?" A word that could not be more honest, immediately turned a lot of people into laughter. This kind of ordinary and busy peasant life, only the rural soldiers would regard for enjoyment.

The newly grown crop seedlings slowly showed their heads as the weather warmed up in early spring, and the soldiers took care of these crops more and more. Li Wei and several soldiers brought more than a dozen chickens and ducklings from nearby farms. The small insects, earthworms and weed leftovers that are usually caught from the fields are easy to feed, and they are still chickens. [

If it weren't for the fact that he went out for combat missions from time to time, Li Wei might really be able to think that he was living in a peaceful and peaceful pastoral life.

The extremely regular life continued until the beginning of April, but the sudden natural disaster caught all the troops in the various divisions of the Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area by surprise.

Originally, Li Wei had been worried about the impending Japanese army raid in May. Whether he believed it or not in the battalion headquarters and the regiment, he kept reminding the battalion commander and other leaders every time they had an opportunity. Subtly organized soldiers are actively preparing to resist the May [-]st mopping up campaign launched by Neiji Okamura.

Unexpectedly, the planned man-made disaster did not come, but the natural disaster came ahead of time, so suddenly and violently.

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

Soon everyone could see clearly that there were several small dots flying in the sky, and they swept across the sky above their heads as if covering the sky and covering the earth. It seemed to be exhausted.

There seemed to be some uneasy commotion in several villages in the direction from which the smoke cloud flew, and the people in the villages all ran out.

"Locusts! ~~~~~" Even in the face of the heavy raid by the Japanese invaders, the shrill screams that did not lose their composure suddenly sounded in the second battalion.

The soldier who was the first to see what was flying and falling in the sky pointed at the sky with a human face, pointed at the sky tremblingly and shouted: "It's locusts, my God!~" Turning his head to look outside the camp, it has entered the grouting period The wheat field, with an earthy face.

Farmers who depend on the land for food know what swarms of locusts mean?Terrible creatures that are more thorough than the Japanese devils' sweep, and the ground they pass is collected.

Before the soldiers of the second battalion could react, locusts rained down from the sky. For a while, the camp area was filled with locusts jumping around, jumping around and jumping on the green plants when they saw it.

The farmland outside the camp area suffered disaster immediately. The wheat seedlings that had been stretched out just now were immediately crowded by a bunch of strong locusts, and after a while, only a short bare pole was left.

"Ah! ~~~God!~"

"Quick, quick, kill them"

Suddenly a nest exploded in the second battalion, and orders were needed. All the soldiers immediately picked up the things they had at hand, and killed the flying locusts everywhere. No one could care more about these crops than these soldiers. These are their lifelines. Why? Can tolerate these nasty pests eating them.

Sweeping, branches, as long as they can kill locusts, they were all grabbed by the soldiers and rushed to the field, beating the locusts like crazy.

Li Wei just woke up from his afternoon nap, opened the door of the dormitory, and looked at the big worms romping around in the yard. The chickens and ducks raised in the camp were happily chasing and killing these uninvited guests who fell from the sky, "mygo!" Li Wei Wei is stupid! ~

He was about to faint, and he didn't have any experience in farming, but he could still recognize the locusts. After finally planting some food, the devils didn't come to snatch it, but fed the insects first.

"Fuck your god damn thief! The Eighth Route Army has a grudge against you, fuck!~" Li Wei was almost mad with anger, and raised his middle finger towards the sky.

Swarms of locusts are flying in the sky, hungry for every inch of green on the ground.

No matter how awesome Li Wei was, he couldn't deal with so many locusts. He almost wanted to cry. He didn't want to eat these disgusting locusts, no matter how high the protein was.

"The cadres above the class have a meeting!" The eyes of the second battalion commander Wu Ergou, who was also a farmer, were almost red. [

The squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders quickly assembled on the playground. This was a serious situation that had never happened before. The loud rustling sound of the locusts chewing food seemed to be chewing everyone's hearts. There is no extra nonsense. Wu Ergouying The chief directly entered the topic: "I want to recruit! How can I cure this damn bug? Otherwise, everyone will have to eat this bug."

A bunch of people rolled their eyes. There are so many bugs, it's disgusting to look at, let alone eat them.
