Seeing that Wang Ping had a calm face since he went up the mountain, Xu Ke, who had directly transformed from a prisoner into a platoon leader of the platoon of the independent battalion, was still immersed in excitement, but he was not stupid. He could tell at a glance that the battalion commander was not satisfied with the already strong trench under his feet!

However, in Xu Ke's opinion, it is good to build the trenches like this. As long as the enemy is not equipped with heavy artillery and the defenders have sufficient troops, with this trench, it will definitely block the enemy's attack for a long time and cause a large number of casualties to the enemy.

Xu Ke, who was puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Battery Commander, is there any problem?"

"The problem is very big!" Wang Ping said astonishingly.

"Not to mention whether the enemies attacking us have heavy artillery. As long as they have enough mortars, no matter how many troops we set up in the trenches, they cannot withstand their bombings with shells!"

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

"I am very dissatisfied with this trench. In my opinion, if this trench wants to block the enemy's attack, it must have these characteristics. First, it has a certain number of anti-broken holes. When the enemy shells, the defenders have a place to avoid shelling!"

"Secondly, there must be enough hidden firepower points so that the defenders can constantly change the machine gun positions. The Japanese grenade launchers and mortars are not vegetarians, so they must not be targeted. Only by constantly changing the machine gun positions can this goal be achieved!"

"Third, the entire defense line must have several permanent fire points. 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 is worthy of being an engineer. He answered in less than two minutes: "There is no problem at the first two points. As long as there is enough manpower, it can be completed in up to three days!"

"The third point is difficult to achieve. The permanent fire point must withstand explosions, and can only be repaired with steel and cement!"

"I have cement and steel bars, but there are not many!" Wang Ping answered immediately.

Then he pointed to a raised raised on the mountain not far away and suggested: "Can we directly use the mountain to repair this permanent fire point? Just like digging an anti-aircraft hole, use the anti-aircraft hole as a fire point, and then reinforce the key positions with steel and cement. After that, cover the top with logs and soil, the thicker the better, and finally lay camouflage. Do you see if it is feasible!"

Xu Ke, who had admired Wang Ping, did not expect that the battalion commander would know that such a professional engineer was a battalion commander.

While feeling moved, he immediately affirmed: "Battery Commander, this method is feasible. It's like the command center we are repairing on the scene. As long as the soil and logs on the top are thicker, there will definitely be no problem with resisting the Japanese's mountain artillery shelling. However, if the Japanese bomb with an airplane, at most one air bomb will be reimbursed!"

"I only need to withstand the shelling of mountain cannons. One defense line repairs three firepower points, and each firepower point should be opened as much as possible. The shooting range should be good and cross firepower can be formed in front of the trenches!" Wang Ping immediately made his request.

Xu Ke replied after pondering for a minute: "Please rest assured that the battalion commander, the engineer platoon ensures that the task is completed. But I need manpower. The more manpower, the less time it takes!"

"I will first draw a hundred prisoners who are serving labor from the instructor, and try to give you another one hundred people in a few days. In addition, I need more than this line of defense. Starting from entering the mountain, as long as the terrain is suitable and it is conducive to our attack on the Japanese army, I will prepare fortifications for me. I will prepare a solid fortification group for the Japanese army on the mountain road of more than ten miles, so that they can hit a head and run blood on the attack road, turning this road into a tomb of the Japanese! "

If these fortification groups can really be used to kill the Japanese in large numbers, the newly established engineer platoon will definitely be able to get a lot of military achievements.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke's face became furious and he promised loudly: "Please rest assured, the engineer platoon will definitely not disappoint you!"

Wang Ping also promised at the right time: "When repairing fortifications, don't forget to find more instructors, learn more about our party, and put 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 expand into an engineer company!"

"Battleman 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 resident and considered building the chicken farm that he had promised to instructors.

Wang Ping is not professional when it comes to raising chickens, but he still has some common sense.

In later generations, Wang Ping heard the most about raising chickens in two kinds: earthworms and maggots. It sounds disgusting and a bit incredible, but it is undeniable that using these two things to raise chickens is not only fast, but also very good in meat. It only takes more than three months for hens to lay eggs, which is nearly three months earlier than ordinary people raising chickens today.

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

Because, compared to the disgusting maggots that make people hear, earthworms are more acceptable.

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

Cheng Xiao still looked disbelief at first, but he didn't take it seriously until Wang Ping repeatedly promised it, and asked himself: "Even if the earthworms raise chickens very quickly, where did 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 one time. Calculated based on the number of 500, if there are dozens of kilograms of earthworms a day, it will definitely not be enough for them to eat!"

"Then raise earthworms!" Wang Ping answered with a positive look.

Maybe not anything else, but when it comes to raising earthworms, Wang Ping has no problem. When he was a soldier in his previous life, there were another exercise, and many of them happened to be in an earthworm breeding farm. After that exercise, Wang Ping knew how to use the easiest way to breed earthworms!

He did it as he said, the next day, Wang Ping took more than a dozen people to dig holes in a house at the corner of the station to repair the earthworm breeding trough. Then some people arranged for Wang Ping to collect rotten leaves and weeds in the forest. Of course, some people went to catch earthworms and used as seeds.

In two days, when Cheng Xiao's pair of doubtful eyes were staring, the earthworm breeding trough was established.

"Old Cheng, you don't have to doubt that at most half a month, the first batch of earthworms can grow. After they reproduce for another half a month, there will be a crisis that will grow. However, every time we have to add some rotten leaves to it."

"Don't underestimate these rotten leaves. They are all food for earthworms. Whether earthworms can grow and continue to reproduce depends on them!"

After the instructor Cheng Xiao left with some suspicion on his face, Wang Ping began to consider the chicken seedlings from the chicken farm.

In this chaotic era, it is definitely unrealistic to get so many chickens by purchasing them. The best way is to hatch, but Wang Ping does not understand the incubation technology. Fortunately, many ordinary people in this era know how to hatch chicks. Although the method is very primitive, as long as the eggs can be turned into inside.

After searching for a day, Wang Ping finally found the talents he wanted in a nearby village and bought more than 600 eggs.

In this way, the independent chicken farm was built.
Chapter completed!
