0352 There are many ways to fetch water in the wild

Wang Liang looked left and right, for example: "Let's take the current season as an example, early spring." Look over there, the other branches haven't sprouted yet, and the branches have already sprouted, so there must be groundwater underneath that tree. ”

"In the same way, in autumn, if the branches of other trees in the same place have withered and yellow, but there is one leaf that is not yellow, then there must be groundwater here."

"Also, plants like poplars, sycamores, willows, and cedars only grow where there's water, so there's bound to be groundwater dug underneath them."

The scouts were eagerly taking notes, and even veterans who had served for more than ten or twenty years listened to them with relish.

Due to the geographical location of the service, there are many things that they do not understand.

Wang Liang then goes on to talk about finding surface water through animals and insects: "Where mosquitoes gather and fly into a cylindrical shape, there must be water. There is also water where frogs, large ants, and snails live. ”

"In addition, the routes that swallows fly and the places where they nest in the mud are places where there are water sources and high water tables. Quails fly towards the water in the evening and on their backs in the early morning. Turtle doves fly to the water source in the morning and evening, and these are the basis for judging the water source. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Liang seemed to remember something, and reminded: "In enemy-occupied areas, in tropical jungles, or in complex environments where water flows out of weeds, you must be careful when drinking water. ”

The corporal asked, "Chief, are you afraid that the enemy will poison you?" ”

Wang Liang nodded and said, "Yes, corporal, you are very right. ”

"Everyone knows that the climate in Vietnam is hot and humid, and it is difficult for our fighters to adapt, and they are drenched in sweat and dehydrated at the end of the day."

"The Vietnamese just took a fancy to this weakness of our soldiers, even if they want to waste these water sources, they have to put poison in them to harm our soldiers, so no matter what the circumstances, our soldiers do not dare to drink the river water easily, who can guarantee that there is no poison in it?"

"Many of the soldiers were not killed in battle, but were severely dehydrated and died of thirst."

Hearing this, a veteran couldn't help but ask, "Then we can't help it?" Heads. ”

Wang Liang replied, "No." We can identify if there are live fish in the river by looking at whether it is poisonous or not. Also, when you are not sure whether the water in the river or lake is clean, you can dig a small pit in the sand about two meters from the water's edge, the water seeping out of the pit is cleaner than the water extracted directly from the river or lake, and you can drink it in small quantities to replenish your body's water. ”

"One more thing, if you can, be sure to boil the water before drinking."

You can see that the Scouts have joy on their faces.

They are happy to have learned something practical.

If they go to war one day in the future, they have a better chance of surviving and continuing to fight the enemy.

These are all summed up from the battlefield, and they have benefited immensely.

After talking about surface water, he went on to draw water from plants and gave a demonstration.

"In the wild, there are many plants that can be used to quench thirst, such as the sap of black birch and white birch in the north, the tender strips of mountain grapes, the rhizomes of sweet potatoes, the plantain stems and tantan vines in the south, and so on."

With that, Wang Liang came to a birch tree.

Birch is a common name for the birch genus, which is mainly distributed in the northern temperate zone, and a few species are distributed in the cold zone.

In China, birch is the most widely distributed, from Northeast China, North China to Northwest and Southwest, and is rich in resources.

I saw Wang Liang use a dagger to drill a small hole about three centimeters deep in the birch stem, and then made a thin tube from the bark of the birch.

The sap soon flowed out.

The surprise of the officers and soldiers was not because of the outflow of sap, but because they had been trained in this method of drawing water.

They were surprised by the speed with which Wang Liang completed the process of taking water.

It's too fast, and it's all in one go.

The whole process was completed in more than ten seconds.

This is a veteran who has experienced the baptism of war.

Even if he is over 90 years old, his ability to fight is still there.

Everyone was in awe.

Wang Liang's focus was not on this, his purpose was to teach the scouts something practical and useful on the battlefield in the near future.

Wang Liang summed up the technique: "The sap that flows into the container through this small hole can reach two liters per night, and it should be noted that the sap of birch trees will ferment quickly in the air, so it should be drunk immediately after obtaining the sap. ”

Next, Wang Liang introduced the plants of the north and south of the motherland to the scouts.

Without food, Wang Liang could only collect pictures on the Internet to show them to the officers and soldiers.

In the dense forests of the southwestern frontier, the vines that are usually wound around the trunks of trees can be cut off, and the small tendons can be seen to break and soon flow out of drinking water.

Wang Liang told the officers and soldiers that Dai hunters living in Xishuangbanna generally do not bring water bottles after entering the mountains, and rely on the heat in this natural water bottle to quench their thirst.

There is also a kind of water-storing bamboo in tropical jungles, which usually grows on both sides of ravines, is about ten centimeters in diameter, verdant and straight, and the bamboo nodes are about fifty centimeters long.

"When choosing bamboo to find water, you should first shake the bamboo pole to listen to whether there is a sound of water inside, and there is no need to cut the bamboo without water sound."

"In addition, check the appearance of the bamboo for insect eyes, and the water in the bamboo with insect eyes should not be drunk."

"The water in the bamboo is clean and hygienic and has a faint bamboo fragrance, and you will love the taste after drinking it once." Speaking of which, Wang Liang really misses a little, and he hasn't used bamboo water for a long time.

The faint fragrance of bamboo, refreshing, is really unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Important, never drink the sap of vines or shrubs and trees with emulsion, it is highly poisonous!"

At this point, the whistle for the assembly sounded.

Wang Liang had to pause, but he made a promise to the officers and soldiers to go back and organize these methods and send them to them.

As a consultant, Wang Liang has this obligation.

Not only this reconnaissance brigade in the Northern Theater of Operations, but also fighters from other units can enjoy these materials.

Wang Liang suggested that these subjects should be added to the training syllabus.

Everything is about preparing for tomorrow's war.

"If you find an enemy ahead, pay attention to concealment!" The commander informed the fighters who had urgently assembled about the enemy.

After hearing about the enemy's situation, the soldiers quickly cleared the traces of the picnic in an orderly and clear division of labor, and then carried out concealed camouflage.

Before the scouts had time to catch their breath, the commander immediately issued another order: "Immediately launch reconnaissance and sabotage operations to the predetermined area according to the original plan!" ”
