Zhou Weihan finished cleaning up and said, "Old Zhao, I'll leave the house to you. Just work hard."
"I've always worked hard, I'm used to it, don't worry!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.
"The more than 500 puppet army prisoners I brought back can be placed in breeding farms and farms for them to work on logistics and make full use of them." Zhou Weihan instructed.
"Okay, Lao Zhou, you still said that I usually act like a mother-in-law, don't you do the same thing? I know that." Zhao Gang said.
Zhou Weihan didn't talk nonsense anymore, got on his horse and accompanied the guard squad, and a group of more than a dozen people headed west, straight to Chenjiayu.
Zhao Gang stood on the top of the mountain and looked out until Zhou Weihan and others could no longer be seen, then he turned and left.
The words are divided into two parts, Chenjiayu is stationed.
The selection of each company was basically completed under the chairmanship of Jing Dagang. The shooting group consisted of 30 people, the first battalion occupied 15 people, the guard company had 8 people, the reserve battalion had 5 people, and the supplementary battalion had 2 people.
There are 22 people in the first battalion of the bombardment team, 3 people in the guard company, and 5 people in the reserve battalion.
There are 20 men in the first battalion of the bayonet group, 8 men in the guard company, and 2 men in the reserve battalion.
There are 5 places for the mortar team, three in the first battalion, one in the guard company, and one in the reserve battalion.
Group bayonet fighting, one battalion and one company, two companies, four companies, guard companies, and reserve battalion and one company.
Ten kilometers of cross-country, one battalion, three companies, five companies, six companies, and one supplementary battalion.
By the time Zhou Weihan arrived at Chenjiayu, it was already afternoon.
"Captain, the personnel have been selected, and they are all top performers." Jing Dagang said, handing over a list of personnel participating in the competition.
"Your battalion makes up the majority!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
This situation is really normal. After all, the First Battalion is the Sharp Knife Battalion of the New Second Regiment. With so many people, it is only natural that the First Battalion accounts for the majority.
"Captain, I am really not bragging. If I hadn't asked several companies in the first battalion to be merciful, except for the guard company, the other companies would really be no match. I specifically stated that the group bayonet fight and the ten-kilometer cross-country can only participate in one activity.
, otherwise all these places will have to be filled by our battalion." Jing Dagang said with great satisfaction.
"Don't talk too much. What is the quality of the first battalion? Only after comparing it can you know that the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment are not just for free." Zhou Weihan said slowly.
"Captain, just watch."
"When will the deputy chief of staff and brigade commander come? Did the superiors tell them?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"According to the notice from the brigade headquarters, the head of the headquarters should have arrived at the brigade headquarters and will come with the brigade commander in the evening," Jing Dagang said.
"Ask the cooking squad to go to the fellow villagers' houses to buy ten pigs, and reward the warriors participating in the competition tomorrow. In addition, gather the cooking squads from each company, and set up a few big pots tomorrow morning, boil some millet porridge, and steam the steamed buns.
Li Yunlong and the others will probably have to get up early and let the soldiers have breakfast then." Zhou Weihan ordered.
"Yes, leader."
In the evening, a dozen people from the headquarters and brigade arrived at Chenjiayu, where the New Second Regiment was based.
"Zhou Weihan, you kid has created such a grand scene!" the brigade commander said first.
"Hey, brigade commander, I just had nothing to do. I wanted to stimulate the soldiers' enthusiasm for training, so I held a big competition." Zhou Weihan said.
"Your idea is a good one, and it is worth promoting in all departments of our Eighth Route Army. I specially brought the chief of the training section here just to visit and learn." said the deputy chief of staff.
Zhou Weihan then invited the leaders into the house and quickly asked Wei Dayong to notify the cooking team to bring the prepared meals.
"Zhou Weihan, are you not special?" the deputy chief of staff asked, looking at the food on the table.
"Chief of Staff, from what you said, our New Second Regiment has good food to begin with. We improve the food for the soldiers every now and then. Without some oil and water, the training of the soldiers cannot be improved." Zhou Weihan explained.
"Chief of Staff, the food of the New Second Regiment is always very good, so there is no need to be polite to him," the brigade commander said from the side.
"Then start eating and use your chopsticks." The deputy chief of staff took the lead.
After eating, the others went to the residence arranged by Zhou Weihan. Only the deputy chief of staff, the brigade commander, and Zhou Weihan were left in the house.
"Looking at you at the table, you seem to have something to say. Let's talk about it now." The deputy chief of staff said, sitting on the stool.
"Chief of Staff, I am returning to the base area of the New Second Regiment this time. The agriculture and breeding industry in the base area are developing very well. I specially asked someone to compile a pamphlet." Zhou Weihan said and took out three pamphlets from the book box, one of which was about hatching eggs.
Artificial incubation, one is about crop planting and selection of improved seeds briefly, and the other is about large-scale breeding of livestock.
These three books were compiled by Mr. Zheng in the past two days, combining past experience and the current situation of the Eighth Route Army base area, with painstaking efforts.
The deputy chief of staff and the brigade commander circulated several pamphlets to each other. After a long time, they said: "Zhou Weihan, originally I just wanted to see the competition organized by your three regiments this time. I didn't expect you to give us a big competition this time.
Surprisingly, these three booklets are profound."
"Old Chen, what do you think?" asked the deputy chief of staff.
The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and said solemnly: "This method of artificial incubation of eggs is a good method. If it can be promoted, it will be of great significance. But what kind of pig is this white pig? I have never seen it in China."
"When I was in the Soviet Union, I went to a farm by chance and saw this breed of foreign white pig. The advantages are just as mentioned in the brochure, but it is very difficult to popularize them. It cannot be done in a year or two.
This large-scale livestock breeding is very practical. There is a set of procedures from feed sources to livestock manure treatment, which is very practical." said the deputy chief of staff.
Breeding farms have been established in the base area for a long time, but this is the first time that systematic breeding has been proposed.
"Chief of Staff, the feed for livestock is made from wheat bran, rice bran and other rapeseed cakes, bean cakes, etc. plus a small amount of grain, and the prepared feed is fermented," Zhou Weihan said.
"Yes, yes, these grain bran and the like are difficult to digest even for livestock, but after fermentation, they are much easier to digest and can provide more nutrients to livestock. However, relying on this alone, the chickens will be fine, but
When it’s time to lay eggs, I’m afraid the nutrition of these feeds won’t be able to keep up, right?”
"The secret weapon is earthworms. Feeding them to chickens not only provides them with sufficient nutrition, but also prevents plague to a certain extent. The brochure explains how to artificially breed earthworms." Zhou Weihan explained.
"The selection of improved seeds is also of far-reaching significance. Today's grain yield is too low, but what can solve the urgent need is the chemical fertilizer in the brochure. Chemical fertilizer is a sharp tool to increase the yield per mu. The production method has always been a secret of various countries. I didn't expect it to be so simple.
Water is easy to produce, but it may not be easy to produce sulfuric acid on a large scale," the deputy chief of staff said with a frown.
Good methods to increase production already exist, but large-scale production has become a problem. Ordinary people basically do not have this ability. The Eighth Route Army's arsenal itself has limited output, let alone the production of fertilizers.
"Chief of Staff, Brigadier, this is what I think. Let the technicians produce a batch first, and then see if it can be simplified. Even if the effect of simplified fertilizer is not as good as that of normal production, if it can be produced on a large scale, it will be better than nothing."
That's great." Zhou Weihan said.
"Well, if you are short of manpower, you can tell me and I will send you a few people from the headquarters arsenal."
"In addition, in the near future, I will send people to visit and study at the base of your New Second Regiment. Then I will ask them to bring a few professional comrades back to set up a stall at the headquarters. If a breeding farm can really be established, I will remember your great contribution.
