I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 39

"Head, there is a lot of wasteland around the village. Do you think we can reclaim the wasteland and grow some crops ourselves?"

"Or we can provide some crop seeds, reclaim the wasteland, and leave the rest to the villagers. When the grain is harvested, we will distribute some of the grain to the villagers? What do you think?" Liu Gen stared at Ding Wei, I want to know what Ding Wei would think.

Without Ding Wei's support, it would be difficult for Liu Gen to lead the soldiers to reclaim the wasteland.Even if Liu Gen doesn't care about his own future, he still needs to think about the soldiers under him, and he must not let such things affect their future.But Liu Gen believes that as long as Ding Wei is not stupid, he will agree to do so.

"Is it open source? It's a good idea." Ding Wei thought for a moment, and then he understood.

Relying on snatching from the devils is naturally not enough for the soldiers. As for buying supplies from the villagers, it is also somewhat difficult.

After all, some villagers don't have so much food in their hands, and they need to enter the town to buy it in large quantities.The devils are quite strict in the management of the towns in the areas they control, and large quantities of grain cannot be transported out at all.There are also certain problems in purchasing from areas controlled by the national army. The national army may not allow the Eighth Route Army to buy a large amount of supplies.

If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary team, it is undoubtedly the best to be self-sufficient.

"You have a good idea, but I need to think about whether this will affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In addition, the devils may attack us again at any time. If we are forced to evacuate, our efforts will be useless." Looking at Liu Gen, Ding Wei said in a deep voice.

Ding Wei's expression was a bit serious, he was sure that the devils would encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army again, as evidenced by the previous confrontation between the Xinyi Regiment and the Sakata Regiment.The devil chose to retreat because he was recuperating, not because he had given up the idea of ​​dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

The national army on the front line has involved a certain amount of energy of the devils. No matter what problems the national army has, it cannot be denied that the national army has played a role.Without the existence of the national army, the devils would definitely be able to spare more experience to deal with the Eighth Route Army active in enemy-occupied areas.In the enemy-occupied areas, the Eighth Route Army involved a lot of the devil's energy, so it also needs to allocate more energy to protect important facilities such as transportation lines and railway networks.

"Regimental Commander, the devils will definitely attack us again, but we can't give up doing such things just because we are worried about the devils' encirclement and suppression."

"The three armies go ahead without using food and grass. If we want to achieve more results in enemy-occupied areas, we need to ensure that we have enough supplies. We can't always rely on supplies from the rear, right? Besides, the ranks of our Eighth Route Army are constantly expanding. Blindly relying on supplies and capture from the rear is far from enough. The combat effectiveness is linked to the physical fitness of the soldiers, and if the physical fitness cannot be improved, it is useless to practice more." Liu Gen thinks very much.

The large-scale production movement that occurred two years later showed that it was very necessary to do this, and we couldn't wait another two years to do this.Two years is enough for many things to happen. If the Eighth Route Army can complete part of its self-supply in two years, then the pressure on the rear will be much less.

"You're right, let's do this. Your artillery company will do this first, and you can decide for yourself whether to cooperate with the villagers. As for whether the soldiers of our whole regiment will do this, I need to report to the headquarters. The decision of the headquarters is good. No matter what to do, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment cannot be affected in any way." Ding Wei thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Ding Wei knew that what Liu Gen said was right, and doing so would greatly supplement the plight of the new regiment's lack of supplies, but it was related to the decision-making of the new regiment, so he needed to ask the headquarters.Compared with Li Yunlong, Ding Wei is more stable, and this matter is not small, and it does need to be reported to the headquarters.In Ding Wei's view, the possibility of this matter passing is still very high, and the heads of the headquarters should also be able to see the benefits of doing so.

Choosing to let the artillery company do this first is also to accumulate experience first. Once the headquarters agrees, all the soldiers of the new regiment will be mobilized.Even if it fails to pass, the soldiers of the artillery company have reclaimed a certain amount of wasteland, which can reduce the material pressure on the new regiment.

"Regimental Commander, our artillery company soldiers can do this first, but we have to keep [-]% of the land we reclaimed and the yield of crops." Liu Gen said.

Ding Wei was slightly taken aback, "Okay, I knew what you were going to say, don't worry, the regiment headquarters will not take advantage of your artillery company. At that time, even if the decision is not passed, the regiment headquarters will not ask you for food for free. Will only buy at market price."

"Genzi, are you relieved?"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! I can't trust you, Commander? Please forgive me, Commander. It's really because the soldiers of our artillery company are in poor physical condition." Liu Gen quickly apologized with a smile.It was also Ding Wei's open-mindedness, otherwise Liu Gen would easily offend others by saying this. Liu Gen was a bit too petty for only caring about his own artillery company.

Liu Gen also had no choice. There were only so many soldiers in the artillery company, and he couldn't let the soldiers keep cultivating the land, which meant that the output of crops was limited.Land reclamation is done by the artillery company, and it cannot be done without the artillery company when the grain is collected. This kind of thing cannot happen.

"Go ahead, let's do this, I hope the headquarters will reply sooner." Ding Wei said.

After leaving the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. He was very satisfied with the support of the regiment leader Ding Wei.He walked quickly towards Xinyituan's warehouse. He needed to borrow some farm tools to reclaim the land. Without farm tools, he couldn't do it.If the soldiers of the new regiment need to reclaim the land, the farm tools of the new regiment will not be enough. If you borrow them early, the artillery company can reclaim more land.

Soon, Liu Gen returned to the artillery company pushing a small cart full of farm tools.There are not many farm tools, only twenty or thirty picks.

Seeing that the fighters in training performed well, they selected some fighters with better training results and gave them pickaxes to reclaim some wasteland first.The rest of the soldiers continued to train, and the training was handed over to the first squad leader to lead the soldiers, while Liu Gen led the other soldiers towards the wasteland around the training ground.

"Company commander, shouldn't our artillery company train with all its strength? What are we doing to reclaim wasteland now?" The second squad leader came to Liu Gen and asked with some doubts.

The other soldiers around also looked at Liu Gen, the company commander, and wanted to know what was going on. Things like reclaiming wasteland were not what they should do.

"It's like this. During the training in the morning, I saw that everyone's physical fitness is not very good. I thought that we can grow some food by ourselves. After harvesting, everyone can eat more to make up their bodies and make them stronger. Now to open up wasteland, that is In order to grow something, everyone needs to work hard to reclaim wasteland if they want to have enough food in the future." Liu Gen explained.

The eyes of the soldiers lit up, as expected of the company commander, such a method can be thought of.The soldiers clenched the pickaxes in their hands, and they had some expectations in their hearts. They were full of motivation when they thought that they would be able to have enough food every day.
