Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the land of China has been full of smoke, wars and chaos, people's livelihood withered, until after the Northern Expedition, the Nanjing government was established, the country was basically unified, and the war that lasted for nearly 30 years came to an end, after that, the people's livelihood was a little peaceful, and the social economy was restored and developed.

However, only ten years have passed, and the Japanese invaded in an all-out way, and the Chinese nation was once again drawn into the whirlpool of war!

By the end of the Battle of Wuhan, nearly half of the land with better economic development had fallen, and the heavy land of taxes and grain had been lost.

Although there are overseas Chinese who have generously donated, people from all walks of life have enthusiastically donated money and materials...... However, with the land of China being full of flames and millions of soldiers on the front line fighting bloody battles, how great is the consumption of weapons and food? Supply is becoming more and more difficult, and the soldiers are hungry and full with the "national disaster salary...... What supports them to continue to fight is only full of patriotic enthusiasm and the integrity of being a Chinese soldier in their bones!

When Li Siwei hurried to the division headquarters, the other three regiment commanders also came together and entered the conference room together.

When Master Guan saw the four of them, he immediately smiled bitterly, "Are they all here?" Have a seat! ”

As soon as the four of them sat down, Master Guan had already opened his mouth first, "I know why you came!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Siwei, "Siwei, can't your group hold on?" Your situation...... It should be better than the other three regiments! ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, "Commander, the brothers haven't eaten enough for two days, and if you wait any longer, you will run out of food...... You can't let your brothers train hungry! ”

"yes!" As soon as Li Siwei's voice fell, Commander Wang hurriedly complained, "Commander, you haven't seen it!" A new recruit in our regiment...... A lot of them are so hungry that they only have skin and bones left, not to mention fighting with such physical fitness, even daily training can't be done! ”

"yes!" Head Zou and Head Qiu also hurriedly agreed, their faces full of bitterness, "Let people work hard, let people have a full meal!" ”

Hearing this, Li Siwei was stunned, and the 66th Regiment also recruited more than 300 recruits, although some were malnourished, but not many...... Lu Yongnian has picked it!

The reputation of the 66th Regiment spread in the mall, the young and strong enthusiastically signed up, and the 66th Regiment did not have many additional soldiers, so Lu Yongnian naturally had a choice, but the other three regiments were seriously lacking, where could they choose?

"Brothers," Senior Commander Guan's gaze slowly swept over the four of them, his face heavy, "I know your difficulties, and I am trying my best to find a way, but our country is too poor, and all supplies must be on the front line first...... What the theater command meant, let us collect food from the garrison on our own, I have already passed the anger with Commissioner Hou, and he also agreed, hold on for a few more days, will it be successful? ”

"This ......"

Can the crowd still say no?

"But," Li Siwei hesitated, "this Shang County is not a rich place......

He didn't say what he said later, but everyone understood that the terrain of Shangxian County is complex, known as "eight mountains, one water and one field", in this era of low agricultural production, it is difficult for the people to fill their stomachs, how much surplus grain can there be?

"What can I do?" Master Guan sighed, "I can only let the people tighten their belts...... The War of Resistance is the first priority! ”

The crowd was silent!

"Division Commander," Li Siwei gritted his teeth and looked at Division Commander Guan with a solemn face, "It's not enough to do this, we have to be self-reliant!" ”

"Self-reliant?" Master Guan was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Siwei, this thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do!" ”

"Yes," Senior Commander Wang also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You can't let the brothers go to farming, right?" First, we are not permanently stationed here, and we may be on the front line at some point; Second, the team has just pulled up, so we have to get the training up first, right? ”

Head Zou also hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yes! The unit I used to work in also had a military cantonment, but as soon as the war started, it was abandoned! ”

Master Guan waved his hand and stared at Li Siwei tightly, a hint of expectation rose in his eyes, "Siwei, what do you think?" ”

Li Siwei had let him see miracles, so he wanted to see them again!

The others were stunned, and also looked at Li Siwei, with seven points of helplessness, two points of hesitation, and a period of wings.

Li Siwei groaned slightly, and slowly opened his mouth, "The so-called 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water', the mountains in Shang County are undulating, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and there is no shortage of wild animals and fish and shrimp in the mountains and waters......

"You can give this a try," Captain Qiu's expression moved, and he hurriedly echoed, "There are many new brothers in our group, and they have also mentioned ......."

Regiment Commander Zou hurriedly shook his head, "We are soldiers, how can we learn from Orion?" I've all gone hunting, what about training? ”

"No," Li Siwei smiled, "we can combine hunting and training!" ”

"Combine?" Everyone looked moved, and muttered, "This...... You could have given it a try, but can it really work? ”

"It works!" Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, with a determined expression, "When I was in Macheng, our group did it, and the effect was quite good!" ”

"Okay!" When Master Guan heard this, he no longer hesitated, "Siwei, tell me about your experience!" ”

"Done!" Li Siwei nodded and looked around at everyone, "After you go back, you brothers can send someone to our group to have a look...... It's easier to understand by seeing for yourself! ”

"Good!" The three regiment leaders perked up, "After the meeting, let's go and learn in person!" ”

Master Guan nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Li Siwei again, "Siwei, is there anything else?" ”

Everyone also looked at him, and at this time, their faces were already full of expectations!

"There are still some of them," Li Siwei nodded, full of energy, "Although it is unrealistic to cultivate wasteland and cultivate land, it is no problem to open up some wasteland to grow some fast-growing vegetables!" ”

"This ......"

Everyone groaned, "Brothers have been in the army for a long time, it's okay to carry guns and fight, I'm afraid it won't be possible to grow vegetables!" ”

"It's not difficult," Li Siwei smiled, "What did the brothers do before joining the army?" A lot of people don't eat in the ground? Besides, we don't plant the hard ones to serve, we just plant turnips and cabbages, and that guy is not squeamish, and he grows fast! ”

Li Siwei was also a real rural baby in his previous life, and he also helped the family do some farm work since he was a child, and later went to the city to study, so he became unfamiliar, and later, even if he returned to the town, his parents and brothers went to the city, and the family's fields were deserted!

No way, in that era, although farming was full, but hard work could not save a few dollars a year, you know, that era was a money society, no money even a wife can not afford to marry!

However, these times are different! Many of the brothers in the team were farmers before they joined the army, and as long as they let them do it, they will definitely be able to do it well!

"Okay!" Master Guan is naturally not from a crop man, but when he heard Li Siwei say it, he also had a little confidence, "Then do it!" Siwei, this matter will be handed over to you, you can't patronize your group, and the other groups have to go and see it often! ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei naturally had no reason to retreat, and patted his chest hard, "Please rest assured, the teacher will do his best!" ”

Division Commander Guan is authorizing Li Siwei, and the other three regiment commanders can naturally hear it, and hurriedly nodded, "Please also ask Regiment Commander Li for more guidance!" ”

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded with a smile and looked at Division Commander Guan, "Without further ado, I'll go back and arrange it under my post, but I still ask the division commander to ...... about the food problem."

"Go, go!" Master Guan waved his hand and scolded Li Siwei with a smile, "You don't need to worry about the food, Lao Tzu will find a way to get it as soon as possible...... Otherwise, the division will have to run out of food, and Lao Tzu will also be hungry! ”

Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.

After leaving the division headquarters, the other three regiment commanders did not return to their own stations, and directly followed Li Siwei back to the 66th regiment's station.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, everyone heard the shouting and shouting in the camp, and following the reputation, they saw that the brothers were training in full swing on the school field.

"Captain Li is really a good method!" Head Wang was amazed, "How long has it been?" My group of soldiers haven't even been able to hold up the queue yet, so you're going to make a decent appearance! ”

Captain Zou and Captain Qiu also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the momentum of these brothers can catch up with the veterans of a hundred battles!" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "They are veterans...... Our regiment recruited only more than 300 recruits. ”

The three of them were stunned, their faces full of envy, "The veteran is good, the veteran is good...... It's a pity that Lao Tzu didn't get this blessing! ”

Li Siwei had no choice but to smile, took the lead and dismounted, and handed the reins to Miao Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, take the three brothers to the regiment headquarters to sit first, and I will take the three regiment commanders to the camp for a walk." ”

"Yes," Miao Zhenhua agreed, and left with the guards of the three regiment commanders.

Li Siwei took the three regiment commanders to patrol the camp, and after walking around, the three of them were amazed.

"Captain Li," Captain Qiu sighed, "Compared to your camp, Lao Tzu is almost like a kennel!" Holy shit, you must get in order when you go back! ”

"Yes," Head Wang and Head Zou also nodded repeatedly, "Look at how neat and clean this environment is...... No wonder the morale of your regiment is so high! ”

Li Siwei smiled, "Although this environmental sanitation looks like a trivial matter, but the impact on a person is not small, the ancients often said, 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world', which does make some sense!" ”

Captain Wang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "No wonder Brother Li is the head of the regiment at a young age, and his daring is different from me!" It's good to read......"

Commander Qiu also nodded hurriedly, with a look of agreement, "Lao Tzu just doesn't read much, and he has to find a staff officer as long as he writes and paints on weekdays!" ”

Regiment Commander Zou was a little curious, "Commander Li, which military school are you from?" ”

Although Captain Zou is also in his thirties, it is obvious that he is angry with his book!

Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't go to a military school...... My father was a middle school teacher, and he forced me to read a few books since I was a child, but unfortunately I was young and stubborn at that time, and I still read less! ”

The three of them were stunned and a little surprised.

"Let's go, let's go to the regiment headquarters," Li Siwei smiled, turned around and led the way, "Let's talk about self-reliance first!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes," speaking of business, the three of them were in high spirits, and hurriedly followed behind Li Siwei, "It's only right to fill your belly first!" ”

There are six mountain ranges in Shang County: Qinling, Python Ridge, Liuling, Falcon Ridge, Xinkailing and Yunling, which are undulating, standing in the courtyard of the 66th Regiment Headquarters and looking around, all that comes into view are the towering green mountains.

Miao Zhenhua put a low table in the courtyard, poured it on the cool white open, and the four of them sat around.

Li Siwei took a sip of water, put down the water cup, took out a cigarette and spread it out for the three of them, lit it, took two puffs beautifully, and slowly opened his mouth, "Actually, as early as when Macheng was resting, our regiment began to engage in field training, that is, training that combines training with fishing and hunting...... The effect is really good, the brothers have not only practiced their skills, but also improved their food. ”

"But," Regiment Leader Zou frowned slightly, a little worried, "The big rivers and mountains are full of dangers, will it be dangerous to put the brothers in?" ”

"yes!" Commander Wang and Commander Qiu were also a little worried, "You can't cause casualties before you go to the battlefield, right?" ”

"There will definitely be danger," Li Siwei nodded, "So, at the beginning, I lost the trials from the strongest company, and then slowly spread it throughout the regiment...... In the end, there were no major accidents! You can also organize an elite first, let them explore first, and then promote! ”

"Done!" Head Wang and Head Zou nodded hurriedly, "Try it first, and then promote it, this method is feasible!" ”

Regiment Commander Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I won't tell you, except for the officers, my regiment is basically a recruit...... I'm afraid the rest of the veterans won't be able to make up even a company! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, and waved his hand arrogantly, "I'll secondment a company to you first, you pick some brothers with good physical fitness to form a company, and follow them to the mountains to practice for a few days......"

"Then thank you Brother Li!" Head Qiu was desperate.

Head Wang and Head Zou looked moved, "Brother Li, can you ......?"

"No problem," Li Siwei didn't wait for them to finish, he nodded hurriedly, and then added, "However, you have to take care of their food and accommodation!" ”

The three of them were stunned and gritted their teeth, "Cheng!" It's not a loss-making deal anyway! ”

At this time, all regiments are about to be unable to open the pot, and the pressure of raising an extra company is not small, but with them, the training is much smoother, and in the long run, it will definitely be a sure win!

"Okay, that's it," Li Siwei happily made a decision, and then turned his head and shouted to Miao Zhenhua, "Go and bring the "Special Operations Manual", a copy for each regiment commander!" ”

"Okay," Miao Zhenhua had already prepared, agreed, and went happily, and after a while, he came back with three booklets.

Li Siwei took the booklet and handed out a copy to the three regiment commanders, "This was written by our regiment when it was in Macheng, and now although the terrain and climate have changed, many things are still useful." ”

The three of them hurriedly opened the booklet and looked at it, Head Wang and Head Qiu were a little struggling to see it, but Head Zou read it quickly, read it roughly, and closed the booklet, "It's done, with this thing, I have the bottom in my heart!" This field training is done! ”

Hearing what Regiment Leader Zou said, Regiment Leader Wang and Regiment Leader Qiu also simply closed the booklet and nodded again and again, "Brother Li is thoughtful, this matter can't be wrong!" ”

That's it, the matter of field training is finalized!

At noon, the 66th Regiment had a meal of wild vegetable soup, and the three regiment commanders each took a company from the 66th Regiment and went back satisfied!

In the afternoon, Li Siwei summoned officers at all levels, announced the news that the regiment was going to carry out a "self-reliance movement," and then assigned tasks to all departments!

Most of the brothers in the regiment are veterans of the 16th Brigade, and they didn't do much of this when they were in Macheng!

For a while, the brothers were enthusiastic and eager to try...... With such a big mountain and so many rivers, Lao Tzu has meat again!

When the crowd dispersed, Li Siwei sighed secretly: If Lao Tzu had learned more agricultural knowledge in his previous life, wouldn't it be time to show his strength?

At this time, it is late autumn, and greenhouse vegetables and mushrooms are ...... It's just the right time to do it!
