Chapter 16 Building a base
Now there are more than 1,400 people in the whole regiment, of which more than 200 are old and weak, and more than 1,000 are strong men, Qin Feng's current regimental establishment adopts the three-three system, a squad of 12 people including one principal and deputy squad leader, a platoon of 38 people including one chief and deputy platoon commander, a company of 116 people including one principal and deputy company commander, a battalion of 344 people including one principal and deputy battalion commander, a mortar platoon, each cannon five people, three guns is 15 people, plus the platoon commander is 16 people. As for the 7 heavy machine guns, because the three company commanders were arguing for the end, Qin Feng didn't give it to anyone, but made up a heavy fire machine gun platoon, with four people per gun, plus the main and deputy platoon commanders were exactly thirty people, and Qin Feng in order to deal with emergencies, but in the special situation now, there is a guard platoon, but this squad is amazing, everyone is a good shooter and fighter in the whole regiment, of course, Qin Feng let each of them be equipped with two shell guns, and the others drooled with envy.
There is no cooking class above, because there is no war now, the main thing is construction, and the more than 200 old and weak are responsible for cooking for everyone, and many people are not only cooking, but also being a person.
After all the people were assigned, it was time for the intense construction to begin.
The security corps now has more than 1,400 people, according to twenty people a room, but also 70 houses to live, of course, for the sake of hygiene, this house must be built big enough, ventilation, the strong, in addition to hunting to hunt, fishing to fish, and the production of bricks and tiles to find a suitable place to open a brick kiln factory, the old and weak which group to do some light work, they are not only responsible for cooking, but also follow Qin Feng to see where is suitable for cultivation and development, and the rest of the people except for a few people to be vigilant, just in case, Everyone else went up the hill and cut down trees to build houses.
All the people were arranged Qin Feng took a few old people with rich experience in farming, in fact, they were almost fifty years old, and this future generation is not old, it may be due to nutrition and other reasons in this era, they are much older than people of the same age in later generations. Qin Feng now wants to see where the surrounding area is more suitable for farming, and it will not affect the future development, after all, this place will soon adhere to the big city, Qin Feng has full confidence.
The others divided their labor and did what they had to do, while Qin Feng had to think about where to build an arsenal and where to build a research institute within the territory he bought.
However, as soon as the Anti-Japanese War broke out, if the foundation was laid here, the devils sent troops in Taiwan during the Anti-Japanese War to attack Fujian, Xianxia Pass was the main way for Fujian to enter Zhejiang, Qin Feng did not have the strength to occupy Zhejiang or Fujian now, so the expectations could not be too high now, so Xianxia Pass, organize the devil Beishan, so Qin Feng needs to think carefully about how to plan well.
These days, Qin Feng's main time is used to investigate the areas that can be controlled at present, and have an understanding of these places, southern Zhejiang is mainly mountainous, and the mountains here are tall and large, endless, no matter the foot of the mountain, the bare visible stones, there is only a thin layer of soil on it, and some vegetation even grows in the cracks of the stones, so the environment here is very fragile.
Qin Feng planned to practice the kind of "ecological recycling agriculture" of the later generations here, but Qin Feng only remembered one of the later generations, and he had seen it.
After some investigation, Qin Feng finally decided to build a poultry factory near the station, and dig a large pond here, and it is convenient to get water here, and the land near the river is also relatively fertile, and the poultry manure can be poured into the pond to feed the fish, and after the fish are harvested every year, the silt of the pond is dug out and picked up into the field, there are so many animal manure and other sediments, which are much better than ordinary fertilizers, and they are also free, and environmentally friendly, and will not destroy the soil like chemical fertilizers. At the same time, the things that come out do not contain harmful substances to the human body, and are absolutely environmentally friendly.
As for poultry, it is still necessary to go to nearby villages to buy, and initially raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, while fish can only be caught in the Yangtze River and put into ponds.
But these will not be able to start until the house where the accommodation is built first, and in the next half month, the men, women and children of the security regiment began an intense, overtime house building project.
On May 20, 1936, after half a month of hard work, the security team and others finally built 80 large wooden houses, and installed two rows of wooden beds, and each row of wooden beds is divided into two floors, just like the upper and lower bunks in the school, but here is a big bunk bed. The wooden house is divided into five rows and 16 houses in each row, which looks like a large rectangle, and except for a few pieces in the middle where grain, agricultural tools, etc., are inhabited.
Don't look at these houses look very simple, but it is indeed very complicated to do, there are too many processes, first of all, the surrounding trees are cut down, which should protect the environment, but the development here is a matter of the past two years, so there is no need, of course, except for Qin Feng's plan to build a park in this place, Qin Feng also made a development plan in advance, with the reference of future generations, everything is much easier.
First of all, it takes a lot of effort to cut down the trees and drag them to the base, which is still a relatively recent result, the second time-consuming thing is to sawn off the trees, and the most difficult thing is to cover the trees into a board It is very difficult, there is no kind of cover machine here in later generations, so only two people can pull the big saw slowly in front of the back. Even if this is the case, in fact, the house is replaced by thatch in many places, if you want to use wooden planks to completely build eighty houses that can block the wind and rain, the amount of work and difficulty are unimaginable, first of all, the trees in this province are not as smooth as the walls of later generations, but some places are big and some places are small, if you want to build a house to be completely tough, you need to process it again, in the era of completely relying on hand, Qin Feng gave up.
Qin Feng's approach is to first nail the skeleton of the house with trees and wooden boards, and tie it with stem plants such as reeds and artemisia grass in other places, and all this is a great difficulty, and Qin Feng does not need to worry about how cold the weather will be when he wants to build a house, but he must take into account the rain whenever he wants.
Thatched house, to prevent rain leakage, in addition to the thatch to cover thick enough, but also to tie compact and strong, must ensure that the rainwater will not penetrate before flowing down the roof, of course, the roof Qin Feng still did a foolproof strategy, after all, the roof is only 45 degrees angle with the horizontal plane, thatch alone is not enough to ensure that there is no rain, so the top can only be covered with wooden boards, but the house is not needed around the house, because it is 90 degrees vertical, so as long as the wind and rain are avoided through the thatch.
Of course, because the roof of the house is thatched, it is not convenient to use glass, so for lighting, there is a distance of half a meter between the roof and the thatched wall, and at the same time, in order to avoid pre-sale from here to enter the room when it rains, the eaves extend outward by one and a half meters.
From a closer look, these houses are indeed not very good, especially Qin Feng and some veterans who have seen the metropolis, but they are not bad compared to the houses of ordinary people seen on the road, which shows how difficult the life of the Chinese people is in this era. These people can be resettled before they can start building roads and building industrial facilities at the base.
