Seeing that Wang Ping had a calm face from the beginning of the mountain, and Xu Ke, who had directly changed from a prisoner to the platoon leader of the engineer platoon directly under the independent battalion, although he was still immersed in excitement, he was not stupid. At a glance www.biquge.info, the battalion commander was not satisfied with the already strong trench under his feet!

However, in Xu Ke's opinion, it was already good that the trenches were cultivated like this. As long as the enemy is not equipped with heavy artillery and the defenders are sufficient, with this trench, they will definitely be able to hold off the enemy's attack for a long time and inflict a lot of casualties on the enemy.

With a puzzled face, Xu Ke couldn't help but ask, "Battalion commander, is there any problem?" ”

"It's a big problem!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.

"Let's not talk about whether the enemy attacking us has heavy artillery, as long as they have enough mortars, no matter how many troops we deploy in the trenches, they can't withstand their shells!"

"And once the enemy is equipped with heavy artillery, it will be completely devastating to this trench!"

"I was very dissatisfied with this trench, and in my mind, it had to have these characteristics if it wanted to hold off the enemy's attack. First, with a certain number of anti-holes, the defenders have a place to hide from the shelling when the enemy is shelling! ”

"Second, there must be a sufficient number of concealed firing points to allow the defenders to constantly change their machine-gun positions. The grenadiers and mortars of the devils are not vegetarians, they must not be targeted, and this can only be achieved by constantly shifting the machine gun positions! ”

"Third, there must be several permanent fire points in the entire defense line, even if the trenches are blown up by the enemy with heavy artillery, these hidden permanent fire points can still block the enemy and cause a lot of damage to the enemy!"

Xu Ke was worthy of being an engineer, and after thinking for less than two minutes, he replied: "There is no problem with the first two points." As long as there are enough people, it can be completed in up to three days! ”

"The third point is very difficult to do, the permanent fire point must be able to withstand bombing, and can only be repaired with reinforced concrete!"

"I have cement, and I also have rebar, but there are not many of them!" Wang Ping replied immediately.

Then he pointed to a bulge on the mountain not far away and suggested: "Can we directly use the mountain to build this permanent fire point, just like digging an anti-artillery hole, directly use the anti-artillery hole as a firing point, and then reinforce the key position with reinforced concrete." When you're done, cover it with logs and dirt, the thicker the better, and finally cover it with camouflage, see if it's feasible! ”

Xu Ke, who had admired Wang Ping, didn't expect such a professional thing as an engineer to be known to the battalion commander.

After sighing with emotion, he immediately affirmed: "Battalion commander, this method is feasible, just like the subordinate headquarters we are building on the spot, as long as the soil and logs on the top are thicker, there will definitely be no problem in withstanding the mountain artillery bombardment of the devils." However, if the devils bomb with planes, at most one aerial bomb these firing points will be reimbursed! ”

"I only ask to be able to withstand the shelling of mountain artillery, build three firepower points on a defensive line, open three shooting holes as much as possible at each firepower point, and have a good firing range, so that crossfire can be formed in front of the trenches!" Wang Ping immediately put forward his own request.

Xu Ke pondered for a minute and replied: "Please rest assured that the battalion commander will ensure that the engineer platoon will complete the task." But I need manpower, and the more manpower, the less time it takes! ”

"I'll take a hundred captives from the instructor and give you a hundred more in a few days. In addition, I need more than just this line of defense, starting from entering the mountains, as long as the terrain is suitable for us to resist the Japanese attack, I will repair the fortifications. I will prepare a strong fortification group for the Japanese army on a mountain road of more than ten miles, so that they can hit their heads on the offensive road and break the blood, and turn this road into a devil's grave! ”

If these fortification groups can really be used to kill and injure a large number of devils, then the newly established engineer platoon will definitely be able to share a lot of combat exploits.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke's face became fanatical, and he assured loudly: "Please rest assured, the battalion commander, the engineer platoon will definitely not let you down!" ”

Wang Ping also promised at the right time: "When repairing fortifications, don't forget to find more instructors, learn more about our party, and bring the party in." If you can repair this fortification group and prove your ability to us, it won't take too long for the engineer platoon to be expanded into an engineer company! ”

"Camp Commander Xie, Xu Ke will definitely not let you down!"

After leaving Xu Ke on the battlefield to survey the terrain, Wang Ping returned to the station and considered establishing the chicken farm that he had promised to be an instructor.

Wang Ping is not professional in raising chickens, but he still has some common sense.

In later generations, what Wang Ping heard the most was that there were two kinds of things, earthworms and maggots, to raise chickens. It sounds disgusting and feels a little incredible, but it is undeniable that raising chickens with these two things is not only fast, but also very good in meat quality, and it only takes more than three months for hens to lay eggs, which is nearly three months earlier than ordinary people raising chickens now.

After thinking about it, Wang Ping finally decided to use earthworms to raise chickens.

Because, compared to the disgusting maggots, the earthworm is more acceptable.

When he returned to the station, Wang Ping told his instructor, who was busy recruiting new recruits from the prisoner camp, his thoughts.

Cheng Xiaoxin still had an expression of disbelief at first, and it wasn't until Wang Ping repeatedly assured that he paid attention to it, and asked his own question: "Even if earthworms raise chickens very quickly, where do you get so many earthworms." ”

"Since we are going to set up a chicken farm, we must raise at least a few hundred chickens at a time. According to the number of five hundred, there are not dozens of catties of earthworms a day, and it is definitely not enough for them to eat! ”

"Then raise earthworms!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

Nothing else may not, but when it comes to raising earthworms, Wang Ping has no problem at all. When I was a soldier in my previous life, I had another exercise, and many of them happened to be in an earthworm farm. After that exercise, Wang Ping knew how to breed earthworms in the simplest way!

The next day, Wang Ping took a dozen people to dig a pit in a house in the far corner of the station, repair the earthworm breeding tank, and then some people arranged by Wang Ping to go to the forest to collect rotten leaves, weeds, and of course, some people to catch earthworms and use them as seeds.

In two days, under Cheng Xiao's suspicious gaze, the earthworm breeding tank was completed.

"Lao Cheng, you don't have to doubt that in half a month at most, the first batch of earthworms will be able to grow, and after half a month for them to reproduce, there will be grown earthworms every day that can be taken out of the crisis. However, every once in a while, we have to add some rotten leaves to it. ”

"Don't underestimate these rotten leaves, they're all food for earthworms. Whether earthworms can grow up and continue to reproduce depends on them! ”

After instructor Cheng Xiao left with some suspicions on his face, Wang Ping began to think about the chicken seedlings on the chicken farm.

In today's troubled times, it is definitely unrealistic to want to get so many chicks through purchase. The best way is to incubate, but Wang Ping does not understand incubation technology. Fortunately, in this era, there are many ordinary people who know how to hatch chicks. Although the method is very primitive, as long as you can turn the egg inside, it will work.

After looking for a day, Wang Ping finally found the talent he wanted in a surrounding village, and bought more than 600 eggs by the way.

In this way, the chicken farm, which belonged to the independent battalion, was built.
