The recruit corps is stationed around Leling County, and while training troops, it undertakes the task of defending Leling County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among the company and platoon cadres during the independent battalion period, Deng Wenli, the former captain of the recruit team, and Zhang Zhengren, the deputy captain of the regiment, were the first to become regiment commanders and regimental political commissars, and they were directly appointed after the Ningjin joint meeting.

In Deng Wenli's words, when luck came, he couldn't stop it, and he followed the troops all the way from Yuxian City to become the regiment commander.

Deng Wenli is burning buns, if he hadn't performed well in Shouyang County to assist Mo Shan in commanding and capturing Baijiazhuang, I'm afraid he would only be a recruit battalion commander now, and if he wants to be a regiment commander, there is no door!

Xiao Siming has high expectations for the first batch of recruits trained by the new corps, because among these recruits, there are 100 recruits recruited in Jingshang Town, 1,324 recruits recruited in Shouyang County, 500 recruits recruited when Liu Motou was eliminated, and 300 recruits reorganized by Liu Mo's head, and now there are only 200 left after being selected by various units, as well as nearly 500 puppet soldiers who were captured and reformed when Ningjin was captured, and 200 puppet soldiers who were captured and reformed by Qingyun. With the addition of the 300 puppet troops brought back from the capture of Yanshan City, the total number is as high as 3,100.

If this batch of recruits completes the whole training and is fully supplemented into the battalions, the total strength of the advance detachment to be established will be as high as 6,000 people, and it can be organized into three real main regiments.

The most important thing is that the vast majority of these recruits are innocent and dedicated to resisting the Japanese.

Wang Lushui asked Xiao Siming to go to the new corps to have a look, Xiao Siming himself was even more anxious, and took Zheng Xiuchuan, deputy chief of staff and chief of staff, out of the headquarters, and rode to the new corps to inspect the troops.

Without greeting the recruit regiment in advance, Xiao Siming and Zheng Xiuchuan first arrived at a village called Weiwan Gaojia in the north of the city, where three companies of the recruit regiment lived.

The recruit companies of the new regiment are all led by deputy cadres drawn from each company of the advance brigade, so there is no battalion-level organization, and the regimental level and below are directly companies.

As soon as Xiao Siming and Zheng Xiuchuan arrived at the entrance of Gaojia Village in Weiwan, two eleven or twelve-year-old children armed with red tassel guns stopped them and stretched out their hands to ask for a road.

The Jilu Border Military and Political Committee lives in Leling City, and the propaganda and mobilization work in the villages around the county seat is certainly better than that of other places. Looking at this posture, the work of Gaojia Village in Weiwan is very solid, and even the children's regiment has begun to stand guard, and the anti-Japanese village chief, militia captain, director of the Women's Rescue Association, peasant associations, etc., must already have them.

Xiao Siming wanted to check if he would put up a flower shelf, so he deliberately said that there was no road, and he forgot to bring it when he came out.

The two children's league members were very serious, and when they heard that Xiao Siming and Zheng Xiuchuan had no roads, they stopped them with red tassel guns and did not allow them to enter the village.

Xiao Siming smiled and said that he was the Eighth Route Army, so he didn't need a road.

The two children's members looked at Xiao Siming and Zheng Xiuchuan's Eighth Route Army uniforms and horses, their eyes rolled slightly, and one of them actually said that if there is no road, they are not allowed to enter the village, what if it is a devil and a traitor disguised as the Eighth Route Army?

Xiao Siming was overjoyed, and praised the two children's league members for being serious and responsible, and said that we must strictly prevent devils and traitors from pretending to be our army, and we can't put an enemy into the village!

Zheng Xiuchuan took out the road strip and asked the two children's members to check it, and then they entered the village with Xiao Siming.

At the entrance of the village, there are open posts and secret sentinels, as well as machine gun crews on duty.

Xiao Siming was relieved at once, knowing that after the whole training in Yuxian County, the cadres had grasped the vigilance during the camp very well.

After entering the village, Xiao Siming did not go to visit the troops who were training on several threshing floors, but knocked on the door from door to door, and entered the courtyards of several villagers to check whether the water tank was full, whether the yard was cleaned, and whether the toilet was padded soil.

After looking around, he was quite satisfied, and Xiao Siming was relieved to know that the new regiment was trained in strict accordance with the traditions of our army!

The villagers didn't know that this eighteen-year-old doll was the chief of the Eighth Route Army, and they thought he was an ordinary soldier, and there was no restraint when talking to him.

Xiao Siming not only wanted to see the training of the recruit company, but also wanted to see the implementation of several things he proposed at the Ningjin joint meeting, so he asked the villagers if they were planting corn in the wheat field?

A man in his forties said angrily: "Planted!" I've planted it all in my field! Not only corn, but also sweet potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, and cabbage! Those cadres of the Eighth Route Army said that this is a task, and if it is planted, it will support the resistance against Japan, and if it is not planted, it will not support the resistance against Japan! I can't figure it out, whether to plant corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, radishes and cabbage has anything to do with whether or not to support the anti-Japanese resistance! Pure jurisdiction! ”

Sowing corn in the wheat field is an agricultural technology of later generations, and the promotion at this time is a new thing for the farmers who are accustomed to a year of cropping, and it is normal for many people to accept it!

Xiao Siming patiently said to the fellow: "Uncle, the purpose of sowing corn in the wheat field is to achieve two crops a year and increase grain production. If you look at this day, the drought is terrible, maybe it will be dry next spring. Corn and sweet potatoes are both high-yield and drought-tolerant crops, and a little more can make up for the loss of summer grain production. The same is true for planting pumpkins, radishes, and cabbage, just to let the villagers have a little harvest in the famine year, so that they can not only make a living, fill their stomachs, but also sell for money, how good! ”

The fellow said angrily: "We are all jujube forests here, and the big and small jujubes are not afraid of drought and do not delay the sale of money!" ”

It seems that the cadres did not speak properly in the propaganda, and this fellow has resistance!

Xiao Siming didn't leave, the fellow sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to the fellow, lit one himself, and pulled away with the fellow while smoking.

Zheng Xiuchuan was surprised when he listened to it, and he couldn't imagine that Xiao Siming could talk about going with this fellow, starting from how much wheat sells for a catty and how much jujube sells for a catty, and talked about how many people there are in the villager's family, whether there are big animals, and how life is.

The fellow said that he didn't have an opinion about the Eighth Route Army, how many times older people were, where had he seen such a benevolent and righteous team as the Eighth Route Army! He thinks that interplanting corn in the wheat field is a blind toss, and the wheat harvest will be delayed when the wheat is ripe! Moreover, the villagers are accustomed to growing wheat, sorghum, and beans, and not many grow corn. Originally, the households of the village planted wheat or sorghum and beans a year, and they were all ripe, and people lived like this for many generations. Now the Eighth Route Army wants to do double cropping a year, not only to sow corn in the wheat field, but also to let the beans be planted after harvesting the wheat, so can it grow ripe? It is likely that in the future, they will all grow bean seedlings!

After harvesting wheat and planting late corn or beans, the harvest will definitely be very good, and there is no problem of growing or not ripening in such a good land as the Jilu Border Plain. The point is that the common people have not farmed like this, and they don't believe it!

Xiao Siming smoked a cigarette and chatted with the fellow for an hour, talking about the planting time, fertilization, weeding, and insect control of winter wheat, early corn, late corn, beans, sorghum, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, radish, and cabbage, fertilization, weeding, and insect control, and the fellow left happily!

Zheng Xiuchuan's eyes glanced at Xiao Siming's face, and he asked for a long time: "You went to school with your parents in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai at a young age, and became a popular ghost at the age of 14, where did you learn the ability to grow crops?" Strange! ”

Xiao Siming said that he didn't know how to grow crops at all, and he hadn't done a single farm job since he was a child, and he couldn't recognize all the crop seedlings.

Zheng Xiuchuan didn't believe it, and said that Xiao Siming lied to him!

What Xiao Siming said is true, not to mention the red ghost Xiao Siming, it is Xiao Siming who has crossed the soul, and he has never planted crops in his previous life, he just knows the truth of two crops a year!

Zheng Xiuchuan saw that Xiao Siming was serious, and it didn't seem to be lying to him, so he hurriedly whispered: "You haven't planted crops or done farm work, why don't you let the villagers sow corn in the wheat field?" What if it doesn't grow up? Isn't that a pit man? How could the Eighth Route Army pit the common people? Don't make a mistake! ”

Xiao Siming laughed out loud, saying that Zheng Xiuchuan is an elm pimple brain, not enlightened at all, has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run, and he can't sleep if he gives a girl! Needless to say? The common people grow once a year, and the early corn planted is also planted in the spring, and the wheat field interplanting is just planting the early corn in the wheat field, how can it not be ripe?

Zheng Xiuchuan is not an elm pimple head, he is smart!

Listening to what Xiao Siming said, Zheng Xiuchuan thought that it was indeed that truth, and sighed: "The rivers and lakes have a little trick, it's not worth it!" Now that it is good, as long as the corn harvest is good in the autumn, and we do not need to mobilize, the people in Jilu will adopt the two-cropping method next year. We will no longer have to worry about our rations! ”

Xiao Siming was very busy, he didn't have time to listen to Zheng Xiuchuan's emotion, turned around and left, he wanted to go to the field to see if there was any interplanting corn in the wheat field!

In mid-to-late April, the Jilu Border Plain was green. Standing on the top of the field, the Great Plains is simply a sea of green. When the wind blows, the fragrance of grass, flowers, and earth comes to my nose!

For a while, Xiao Siming actually had a feeling of relaxation!

Zheng Xiuchuan said on the side, it would be great if there was no devil invasion, the great plain with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, just sprinkle a handful of seeds can take root and sprout. In the summer, the golden ears of wheat swaying in the wind, what a spectacle! Damn little devil, when will you die cleanly!

Xiao Siming didn't say anything, squatted down, checked the growth of the wheat seedlings, and silently calculated in his heart, trying to figure out how much the yield would be reduced this year.

It's a pity that Xiao Siming has no experience in agricultural production, so it can be said that he doesn't know anything, and he can't figure out why!

Zheng Xiuchuan is seven or eight years older than Xiao Siming, and he worked as a farm worker at home before joining the army. Seeing Xiao Siming squatting down to check the growth of wheat, he was amused in his heart, and also squatted down, the divine beast played with the wheat seedlings, looked at it for a while, and said to Xiao Siming: "Leader, this is the Great Plains, and the land is good." It stands to reason that it is no problem to make 400 catties per acre. But looking at the growth of this wheat seedling, it is not very good. It's too dry, so it's good to have a rainy day! ”

Xiao Siming was silent, and involuntarily remembered the fact that Xiao Hua led his troops to turn to Lu Xi in history. He remembered clearly that one of the main reasons that prompted Xiao Hua to lead the main force of Hebei and Lubian to move to Luxi and Lunan was that the food was too tight!

Now it depends on whether the wheat fields that you have interplanted corn and vigorously promoted the planting of sweet potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, and cabbage can achieve the desired goals! (To be continued.) )
