As Chinese people who have spent their lives digging for food in the fields, their love for the land is ingrained in their bones, and this is something that will never be affordable.
Since the land reform was carried out in the Tainan base area, every household has their own land, and they have more hope for a better life.
From before the New Year's Day, ordinary people have been thinking about sowing seeds in their fields as soon as possible.
With the arrival of a spring rain, the entire Tainan base area is filled with a vibrant atmosphere.
On that day, Zhao Gang issued the "Spring Plowing Mobilization Order" on behalf of the Tainan Military Region. All commanders and fighters of the Tainan Military Region stopped daily training and fully cooperated with the regional government to help the people in the base area carry out spring plowing.
According to the plan, the drought-tolerant wheat No. 1 and corn No. 1 varieties cultivated by Mr. Zheng were planted in the fields that the army was responsible for around the Yamawang Mountain area.
The source of these two varieties is the seeds that Mr. Zheng brought from the Yanda Agricultural Research Institute. After arriving at Yamawang Mountain, he selected the best from the best and spent a lot of effort to cultivate them.
Experimental data shows that compared with ordinary grain varieties in the hands of ordinary people, the yield per mu of wheat No. 1 and corn No. 1 varieties has increased by about 10 to 13 percent.
Since food is the foundation of people's livelihood in the base areas, and there are few types of grain, only one experimental field was selected in each of the four base areas of Tainan, Taibei, Taiyue, and Southern Hebei.
If the experimental results this year are excellent, it is expected to be widely promoted in various base areas after the autumn harvest.
The entire Tainan base area is widely planted with grain seeds stored by the people themselves. The main crops include wheat, corn, supplemented by sweet potatoes, sorghum, and rice.
Some of the land with suitable conditions is used by ordinary people to grow cash crops, such as peanuts, soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, and various medicinal materials. During the harvest season, the local government purchases it from the ordinary people at cost price.
There is a village at the foot of Yamawang Mountain.
Because it is close to a mountainous area, the fields in local villages are reclaimed by the villagers themselves. The larger fields are two to three acres, and the smaller fields are four to five acres.
Those close to the river and with low terrain are fine. They rely on canals to bring water to them. However, if they are located on higher terrain, they need to use manpower to carry water to irrigate the fields.
On the ground, the whole village, old and young, were scattered in their own fields.
The head of Lao Wang was the village chief. He was squatting on the ground of his home, smoking a dry cigarette, watching the palm-sized winter wheat becoming more and more juicy under the clear river water, with a smile on his wrinkled face.
meaning.
"Village chief, comrades from the Eighth Route Army are here to help!" A young boy from the village ran over and said.
"Comrades from the Eighth Route Army are here? Where are they?" After hearing this, Lao Wangtou stood up suddenly, hurriedly knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, and then pinned it on his lower waist.
"It's on the slope at the other end!"
When Lao Wangtou arrived, he saw only about twenty people wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms walking in the fields carrying buckets.
Lao Wangtou took a closer look and saw that the person leading the charge was Political Commissar Zhao of the Eighth Route Army.
"Hey, Commissar Zhao, why are you here?"
Zhao Gang, who was busy, saw an old man running towards him and put down the pole on his shoulder: "Village Chief Wang, we know the situation in your village. At least half of it is sloping. It is difficult to irrigate the fields. Our troops have to do it at this time."
Help!"
"Oh, oh, how could this happen!"
Last year, the troops failed to catch up with spring plowing. This year is the first time that the military and civilians have worked together to carry out spring plowing.
Seeing that Zhao Gang had to stay, Old Man Wang said to the young man who was following him: "Sanyazi, ask your mother to call a few women back to the village, prepare some dry food, and deliver it to the fields at noon!"
"Get something good, you hear me!"
"I know!" Sanyazi turned around and ran away.
"Political Commissar Zhao, take a break, take a break!"
"Is there something wrong with Village Chief Wang?" Zhao Gang said and poured water between the two ditches, as if he could tell what the old Wang Tou wanted to say.
"I heard from the villagers that our troops are planting good seeds in their own fields. When will they be popularized in the base area?" What ordinary people care about all year round is the harvest in the fields, and Lao Wangtou is no exception.
"Village Chief Wang, this is an improved variety that has been researched. We are still looking at the effect of the grain seeds. Besides, all the crops grown in the village are winter wheat. The grain type developed is spring wheat. Is it possible?" Zhao Gang said.
"It can be done. As long as we can increase production, it's just a matter of putting more effort and watering more!"
"Okay, spring will start tomorrow, and everyone can use improved grain seeds!"
The words are divided into two parts.
Zhou Weihan has already arrived in Hebei, Shandong and Yu, and the base area in Zhinan is also undergoing spring plowing.
However, the spring plowing organized by the regional government is currently limited to Neihuang, Nanle, and Qingfeng counties. The main force is still stationed in the defense zone, and the new soldiers are sent to help the people with spring plowing.
Within the headquarters.
"By the way, Lao Tan, how is Fushimi Palace?" Zhou Weihan asked.
After hearing this, Tan Lin had a smile on his face: "This guy's mouth is very hard, but his bones are a bit soft. When he got it to us, he refused to eat anything. Later, after being hungry for a few days, he ate three in a row."
Wo Wo Tou!”
Tan Lin did not give special preferential treatment to the prisoner Fushimi Miyami Mingyi. He, the Japanese prince, had to eat whatever the soldiers usually ate.
After a period of time, Fushimi Miya Mingyi was treated docilely.
"Lao Zhou, I think the heat is almost over. During this period, it seems that the Japs have occurred. They have been sending people into the base area in disguise to try to rescue Fushimi Palace with arms. However, because Fushimi Palace is in our hands right now, we don't dare to do anything.
Just attack the base area!"
"If you keep it in your hands, it will be a matter of time before you find yourself in trouble. Just accept it when it's good and sell Fushimi Palace at a good price!" Tan Lin advised.
Seeing Zhou Weihan nod, Tan Lin continued: "After a winter, the recruits' combat effectiveness has improved rapidly, and it's time to start the next plan!"
"After these few days of busy work, the two of us will carefully plan the future development plan of the base area. Now we have four main groups with nearly 10,000 people. Our capital is very strong!" Zhou Weihan smiled
said.
"I saw it. The new group that followed you is not weak. The whole group is like a pile of dry firewood. It can be used at a moment's notice. Such troops are often the most powerful in combat!"
"What a good unit led by comrades Li Yunlong and Luo Benzhong!" Tan Lin said.
"You're right about that, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bring the New Regiment here! You see, the New Regiment will be a sharp knife in rebuilding the Hebei, Shandong and Yu base areas!"
Now Li Yunlong has this ability, and Zhou Weihan is also willing to be this bole and give him a chance to show off his skills.
From then on, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
