Chapter 156: Exploding
One day in the blacksmith village, all the people involved in the operation were making final preparations because of the implementation of the fish bombing plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Each fighter carries four grenades, and four canning bombs, and such a firepower configuration should already be enough." Yang Mingzhi estimated that if 2,000 explosives were thrown into the river, would the density of firepower be too great?
Therefore, the troops had to be separated and move in a large area, especially near the river bank, where all kinds of fish were active, and even more so where giant catfish were found.
The location of the fish bombing has been determined by the Blacksmith Village, a place where the river is soothing, and it is ten kilometers away from the Blacksmith Village.
The marshlands of the Pripet River basin are very large and stretch all the way to the Dnieper. There are also a lot of reeds and aquatic plants around the destination, and the river course is a little complicated. Such hydrological characteristics are suitable for the growth of fish, and there are many green shrimp and river crabs. In Yang Mingzhi's view, the delicious river fresh is crab, and later generations of Chinese ate crabs on a large scale, giving birth to river crab farming. As for here in Europe, no one wants to eat this kind of rampant and domineering little monster, and I am afraid that the biggest reason is that there is no meat.
Maozi and other Europeans really don't know how to eat it, but they don't know that crab paste and crab roe are delicious. So Yang Mingzhi ordered people to make a temporary net and gave several soldiers tasks. "You don't have to be directly involved in the fish frying, everyone wears rubber clothes and sweeps through the aquatic plants, whatever they catch."
Ordinary people couldn't see what Yang Mingzhi's plan was, and the star fruit immediately understood. As a Chinese, she knows all kinds of river freshness. I'm afraid that a few soldiers can sweep and catch a bunch of river mussels, this soup is very delicious.
The tense preparation of the day is over, and on a new day, everyone rushes to the scene of "fried fish" with high morale.
Many warriors carried small boats, others drove horse-drawn carts, and on them were various fishing tools. Fighters have to carry explosives as well as harpoons, and the so-called harpoons are nothing more than spearheads stuck in long wooden sticks. Yang Mingzhi saw that some people even held iron rakes used by farmers to pick grass, and some were tridents, which were used for fishing.
Star fruit sat curled up in the carriage with a tweed cloak draped over her. Yang Mingzhi also carried a spear himself, the head of which was newly made and was specially used to catch big fish.
At the moment, the entire army is carrying a variety of weapons, so that this huge army does not look like a modern army, and all of them go back hundreds of years, reminiscent of the days of Kievan Rus'.
Everyone was moving forward in the mud, and the team was well-trained so orderly. Kavitsky dispatched more than a hundred people, most of whom had experience in fishing. The troops advanced in a southeasterly direction, and after a few miles, a large river blocked the people's access.
Yang Mingzhi rushed to Kavitsky, who was at the head of the team, and raised his binoculars to look into the distance.
"I'm afraid this is the Dnieper. The river is so wide. ”
"Yes." "Because it's wide, the river flows slowly, and the water isn't very deep. Due to the previous rains, the river is now at the highest level of the year. ”
There is a lot of food hidden in the river, and after a fishing frenzy, the food problem can be greatly improved. Yang Mingzhi stretched his waist and ordered the troops to camp immediately, and immediately launched the operation after lunch.
They set out early in the morning and began to move in the afternoon, and the troops moved quickly. Yang Mingzhi didn't want to wait, after all, there was not much time, and the earlier he caught, the sooner he could eat the fish. And it's not just this reason, Yang Mingzhi knows that after the first rain is over, there will be another rain after the weather is sunny for a while.
Judging by the experience of the first rain, continuous heavy rain was impossible, while in the direction of the German offensive it was quite rainy. The second round of rain will make the roads muddy, and it is still necessary to take care of the flood prevention here in the swamps. When the new round of rain is over, you will have to deal with a sudden cold snap, but it will be the end of November by then.
The troops immediately set up camp, set up tents among the reeds, set up makeshift stoves, and where the soldiers had picnics.
Ordinary soldiers were nibbling on bread and drinking vegetable soup, and Yang Mingzhi naturally brought the noodles he made last night. This is the work of star fruit, and the food attracted Kavitzky and Balzen.
"Eat some of it, Bessica." Yang Mingzhi smiled and poured into their rice bowls, while star fruit looked at them with satisfaction.
After eating, Kavitzky asked, "Deputy division commander, how long are we going to stay here?" ”
"It may take a few days. We've got to catch a lot of fish, you have to have a wagon ready, and there's enough salt. ”
"There's also a big pit where some of the fish are put in." Kavitzky tract.
"That's right, there's no problem with following the plan. Let's eat and act right after! ”
Lunch was quickly served, after which the boats were launched. The warriors carried long twines to tie the ships together, and soon formed a flotilla, which demarcated a huge area like a chain.
After an hour, the "combat area" has been demarcated, and the soldiers are in place, waiting for Yang Mingzhi to give the combat order.
"Alright, now it's time for the harvest to assemble, and we're going to blow this body of water upside down!" Yang Mingzhi ordered his wife to stay away for the time being, while he lit a cigarette in his mouth and held a canned box of bombs in his right hand. With a wave of his hand, the herald fired a gunshot into the sky, and the order was great.
In an instant, more than a hundred people threw explosives at the same time, and everyone threw them far away. The cans fell into the water and sank, then exploded violently, creating great pressure and making a huge splash.
The catfish, which were hiding in the muddy area of the river bottom, immediately became victims, and they were like submarines damaged by depth charges, and they were instantly shocked into internal injuries. The hapless fish began to surface, and after only three minutes, there were many fish floating on the surface of the river, and among them was exactly what Yang Mingzhi had hoped for.
He picked up his binoculars and looked at the river, only to see three large white floaters still shivering slightly. "Great! It's got to be a big six-whisker catfish! The most ferocious breed! Yang Mingzhi pointed to it, and soon a small boat was dispatched, and several fighters poked it with a harpoon, and the fish was killed.
The first wave of the operation was a great victory, and the fish in the area surrounded by the ships were all caught in one net, and the soldiers were very happy. The three large fish were dragged to the riverbank, and the warriors struggled to drag them ashore.
The crowd of onlookers was stunned, as had been said beforehand, each of the three catfish was bigger than a person, even bigger than a cow.
Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and looked at the results of the victory with joy. Star fruit was a little scared, and subconsciously hid behind her husband's back, dragging his arm.
"What? Scared? ”
"Yes. This fish must have become a sperm! Star fruit said bluntly.
"Don't be afraid, dear, this is what this big fish looks like. There are bigger ones in the sea, and the more you know, the more strange it will be, and this fish is actually delicious! ”
It was a good start, as the warriors were busy catching fish, throwing various kinds of fish into the wagons, large and small, and then rushing back to the blacksmith village to start making salted fish on the spot. As for these three big fish, they were slaughtered at once, and they were eaten for dinner. (To be continued.) )
