As soon as it was dark, the militia of the fine willow battalion, as well as the young and middle-aged, put on sheepskin jackets and lit pine torches, and set off happily.

Seeing that Zhuo Han also participated in this big event, the young men in the village were very lively again, firstly, Zhuo Han was righteous and had a good relationship with the big guys, and secondly, he was the first college student in the village.

After Village Chief Zhuo finished arranging the task of lighting a bonfire, Zhuo Han's wine and dinner had already been scheduled for the New Year.

Lighting a bonfire is not complicated, that is, three bonfires are lit at the location of Ping'an Slope to form a triangle pattern, and the pilots of the night voyage will try to throw the materials into the triangle after seeing the bonfire mark in the air.

Inside this triangle is a large area of grass and no human buildings, so that accidental casualties can be avoided and supplies can be collected.

In addition to these young adults who lit bonfires, there were also some curious babies in the village, everyone was calling at each other, and some even held small benches, ready to see what kind of airdropped supplies were going on.

Although it was not so coincidental, Village Chief Zhuo still strictly forbade everyone to enter the triangle area, in case a pie really fell out on the day, it would be terrible to lose the head.

The bonfire was quickly lit, and after the bonfire was lit, the villagers all stood together, looking up at the dark sky, "Why hasn't the plane come yet?" ”

There are strict rules on the departure and return times of aircraft on night missions, and planes will not come until they arrive.

The big guy waited for more than half an hour, and his neck was sore, before the rumbling sound came from the sky, which was the sound of an old transport plane engine.

"This is the Yun-5 transport plane, also known as the Fengshou No. 2, which is an aircraft independently developed by our country," Chu Xingchen stood beside Zhuo Yan and explained to her.

Zhuo Yan just nodded, girls and boys are naturally different, and they are not very interested in these mechanical planes or anything, but after Zhuo Han heard it, he immediately became interested, stuck to Chu Xingchen, and asked him what Yun Wu was.

This kind of plane has a lot of horsepower, and after circling in the air twice, the necks of the villagers in Xiliuying turned sore, and only then did they vaguely see bright spots in the night sky.

"Look at the plane!" The big guys are all shouting like this, and the cheers for a while are like the New Year.

After the pilot set his position, he began to airdrop the supplies, and when the large bag containing the supplies was about to land, the people on the ground saw it.

Village Chief Zhuo hurriedly greeted everyone and asked everyone to stand back.

There were three planes coming, probably throwing hundreds of bales on the ground, and then the three planes circled for a while, and one flew away after the other.

Seeing that the plane had disappeared into the sky, Village Chief Zhuo called the militia and young men to collect supplies.

The outer packaging of some materials was broken, and the whole was scattered on the ground, and it was not easy to clean up when it was dark, so the village chief Zhuo asked people to make signs in this place, plant red flags, and prepare to clean up again at dawn the next day.

Collecting supplies was hard work, and the boys were busy until midnight to pack the big packages, and the villagers who watched the excitement saw the planes fly away and went back early.

Early in the morning of the next day, the leaders of Xilin Town rushed to Ping'anpo with the village chiefs of various villages to prepare to distribute supplies to everyone.

This time, the distribution of materials was completely distributed evenly according to the population of the village, which was fair and just, and no one could say anything.

Of course, there are no nitpickers everywhere, and some people have suggested that the horse farm and the fine willow camp have prepared a large amount of hay in advance, and this time they should take the initiative to withdraw from the distribution.

This statement was unfair and not conducive to unity, and was criticized on the spot by the leaders of Xilin Town.

After distributing the supplies, the Xiliu battalion was replenished with supplies, but this time the supplies were not as much as they imagined.

The three small transport planes had limited transportation capacity, and the supplies that might also support them in the provincial capital were also in a hurry, all in all, the Xiliu Battalion only received almost twenty tons of forage, which was less than what Zhuo Yan helped everyone store.

The villagers did not notice the problem, and after receiving the hay happily, they loaded it into a cart and transported it to their homes.

And Village Chief Zhuo and Chu Xingchen both showed worried looks, "Captain Chu, this forage is not enough, our village already has reserves, it doesn't matter if there is grass or not, other villages have to be short of forage!" ”

Chu Xingchen nodded, "I'll go to the town now and see how the leader solves this problem!" ”

Chu Xingchen followed the leaders of Xilin Town to the town and didn't come back until dark.

This time Chu Xingchen returned, bringing everyone a great news, "Although the provincial capital has airdropped supplies to us, but some villages are still short of forage, the town leaders decided after research that this year, those pregnant with cubs and calves and lambs will be left behind, and the other prime-aged livestock will all be taken by people for winter grazing!" ”

Everyone was stunned by the news.

"What is Winter Pasture? We have never had the habit of winter grazing in Xilin Town? ”

"yes, it's freezing and snowy everywhere, where are you going to graze?"

"We have enough forage in the fine willow camp, so we don't need to participate in winter grazing, right?"

Most people don't know what winter grazing is, and a very few people know what winter grazing is going to do, but when they see the cold wind howling outside, they instinctively don't even want to go out, let alone go to grazing.

"The leaders have long thought of this link, they have planned the route, and they are already applying for a report to the top, if the top is approved, we will start from the Xiliu camp, along the north foot of the North Mountain, all the way to the north, over the North Mountain is the prairie!" Chu Xingchen used the small blackboard in the village to draw a route for everyone.

"There are thousands of cattle and sheep in the Donglin Leguo grassland, and the local herders have a lot of experience in winter grazing, if our plan can be approved by the superiors, we will live in the winter pasture of Donglin Gol after crossing the North Mountain."

"In the next few months, we will graze with the local herdsmen, who have a lot of water and grass and a lot of reserves, and these cattle and sheep will have no problem safely spending the winter in the winter pastures of the prairie," Chu Xingchen put down the chalk and turned his head to look at everyone's reactions.

When I heard that I was going to cross the North Mountain, everyone present was stunned.

After a long while, Village Chief Zhuo said, "We haven't done this yet!" ”

"That's it, you see the ice and snow outside, it's still snowing in the sky, can these cows, horses and livestock pass through the North Mountain?"

"I'm not going, I'll stay at home if I have forage!"

Most of the people at the scene were skeptical and questioning, and to put it bluntly, everyone still refused to leave this comfortable environment, and was unwilling to leave the Xiliu Camp to go to Beishan for an adventure.
