The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

In the Baipogou Independent Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie was discussing with Li Wensheng the problem of food shortage in the base area.

"Leader, the people in the base area have given us great support... After mobilization, a total of [-] million catties of grain has been borrowed..." Li Wensheng looked at the statistical data in his hand and reported seriously.

"But the number of disaster victims that the little devils forced into our base area far exceeded the estimate, and it has reached an astonishing [-]!"

"Although they have been dispersed by the local government and the guerrillas, more than a thousand labor-for-relief work teams have been formed to build water conservancy projects, reclaim wasteland, and build roads in the base areas..."

"But the food consumption rate has not slowed down..."

"The military rations plus the borrowed food can last for at most three months!"

"Is there any news from Xiao Huang?" Kong Jie asked with a frown.

There is only so much food in the base area, it is impossible for the local people to go hungry to rescue hundreds of thousands of victims, and it is impossible for him to conjure food out of thin air. Faced with this almost unsolvable problem, Kong Jie is helpless and can only put his hope on Huang Yu, who was once full of confidence to take over the task of making food.

Li Wensheng shook his head: "I haven't received any news yet!"

"No!" Kong Jie shook his head and said!

"Xiao Huang never fights uncertain battles... I think he was very confident when he took on the task, and he should have already had an idea at that time!"

"Almost a month has passed. Whether the idea at that time was successful or not, there should be news no matter what!"

"There is also the matter of the chicken farm. After so long, there should be a result!"

Li Wensheng hesitated to explain: "Comrade Huang Yu is sorry to report whether it will fail!"

Kong Jie shook his head: "Xiao Huang is not the kind of person who cares about face and ignores the overall situation!"

"He knows the importance of food to us... If his idea really fails, he will definitely report it to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible, so that we can think of other ways!"

"Report..." The battalion commander Duan Yong suddenly ran to the door.

"Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff...Wei Dayong, the company commander of the Assault Battalion, came with ten carts of grain and said he had something important to do.

To report to you, we have arrived at the entrance of the village! "

"Ten carts is [-] catties of grain... Where did the assault battalion get so much grain?" Kong Jie was both surprised and puzzled.

"You'll know after you've seen it!" Li Wensheng also wanted to solve this question quickly, so he stood up and rushed out.

When he saw Wei Dayong and glanced at the wheels of the cart, Kong Jie knew that Wei Dayong had sent a solid [-] catties of grain, so he asked directly, "Commander Wei, this can be used for half a month's ration of your assault battalion... how do you save it?" of……"

"Don't starve the soldiers just to save food, it's too much for the gain!"

Wei Dayong said proudly: "Regimental commander, don't worry, not only is no one hungry in the assault battalion, the food is better than before, and the soldiers' physical fitness and health are also better than before!"

"It doesn't make sense?" Li Wensheng was full of doubts.

"The rations are getting less and less, how can the food be better than before... You are lying to me and the leader!"

Wei Dayong quickly explained: "We ate better than before! If I remember correctly, the assault camp ate a whole three thousand catties of fish and three thousand catties of various prey during this period..."

...

"Meat is more filling and more nutritious than grain... The [-] catties of fish and prey alone saved the troops more than [-] catties of grain!"

"We also exchanged [-] catties of prey and fish for [-] catties of grain from the people in the defense area. A total of [-] catties of grain were handed over to the regiment headquarters, and the regiment head will distribute them uniformly!"

"There are so many prey and fish from you!" Another question popped up in Li Wensheng's mind, and he asked anxiously.Wei Dayong continued to report: "The battalion commander gathered all the sharpshooters in the entire battalion to form a hunting team. I was the captain and went deep into the mountains to hunt prey... You can get a lot of meat, and you can also train marksmanship..."

"Commander Zhang of the [-]nd Sudden Company took the lead to select fighters from the entire battalion, form a fishing team, and fish in all rivers in the defense area..."

"In order to prevent prey and fish in the water from being killed by us, the team leader specifically stipulated that all fish caught less than half a catty must be released, and small prey should also be released..."

"Otherwise there will be famine years in the future, and the folks in the defense area will not even have a way to save their lives!"

"This is the fishing and hunting plan summarized by the battalion commander. Let me submit it to the regiment headquarters and strive to promote it to the whole regiment!"

"If each battalion can save [-] catties of food every month, the whole regiment can save more than [-] catties of food a month, and at least it can save a day of hunger for the victims in the base area!"

Wei Dayong handed the two reports to the head of the regiment while reporting.

Kong Jie couldn't wait a long time ago, so he quickly grabbed the report, read ten lines at a glance, read it in only two minutes, and handed it to Li Wensheng: "Although these two methods can't change the overall situation of our food shortage, they can relieve us a lot. pressure!"

"Let's promote it in a while... Each battalion must set up its own fishing team and hunting team!"

"There are so many rivers and mountains in the base area, it will definitely be no problem to catch hundreds of thousands of catties of prey and fish!"

After speaking, he turned his attention to Wei Dayong again: "Commander Wei...do you have anything else to report?"

What Kong Jie wanted to ask most was how the chicken farm was doing, and he swallowed the words.

Now that Huang Yu has agreed to set up a chicken farm, he has to trust him instead of intervening halfway, which is also Kong Jie's usual style.

Wei Dayong seemed to see Kong Jie's thoughts, took out the third report and continued: "There is also the matter of the chicken farm!"

"We have already built a chicken farm...A total of [-] hens, [-] roosters, and more than [-] eggs have been purchased...According to the plan, more than half a month at most, more than [-] eggs will be enough Hatch into a chick!"

"The three hundred and sixty hens are all laying eggs, with an average of about two hundred and forty eggs per day, all supplying the troops..."

"Wait until the number of eggs produced increases in the future, and then sell them to the outside world in exchange for food!"

After listening to the introduction, Kong Jie was not as happy as he imagined, but reminded with a worried face: "There are four hundred chickens, and they lay eggs every day... No matter what happens, they will consume tens of hundreds of catties of food..."

"Will it be too wasteful!"

Wei Dayong blurted out: "Leader, our chicken farm doesn't consume any food..."

"Eat all earthworms and vegetable leaves...the egg production is more than food!"

"Chicken eats earthworms... How is this possible..." Facing this unheard of news, Kong Jie and Li Wensheng both showed expressions of disbelief.

...

Wei Dayong scratched his head and replied: "I didn't believe it at first, but the battalion commander said yes..."

"As a result of the experiment... it really works..."

"Because the amount of earthworms needed by chicken farms is increasing...the earthworms raised by the army alone are definitely not enough...we are mobilizing the common people to help us raise earthworms!"

"There is no cost, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can feed the earthworms. A pound of live earthworms can be exchanged for an egg in the army... The folks are very motivated to raise earthworms..."

"With the support of the army, more than [-] households have signed up!"

"According to this development speed, the Assault Nutrition Chicken Farm will be able to expand to [-] chickens in one month..."

"When they start laying eggs, they can harvest two thousand eggs every day!"

"If eating two eggs saves half a jin of grain, then we can save [-] jin of grain every day!"

Kong Jie and Li Wensheng were dumbfounded, and hurriedly read the report in their hands...

The content of the report was more detailed than what Wei Dayong said, and the expressions of suspicion on the faces of the two were slowly being replaced by shock as they got to know each other better.

I don't know how long it took, Kong Jie raised his head first, looked away from the report, looked at Li Wensheng and said seriously: "Chief of Staff, if what Xiao Huang said in the report is true!"

"The base area not only has an additional channel to save food, but also an additional source of income!"

"Eggs and chicken are both good things...everywhere they put them, they rush to buy them!"

"If earthworms can be used for large-scale breeding, let's find a way to send eggs and chickens out of the base area, and earn a lot of money back as funds!"

Li Wensheng answered, "The content of the report should be true!"

"The Assault Battalion has already built a chicken farm, it must be fine..."

"How about we go directly to the assault battalion station!"

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. After seeing it, you will know whether or not you can feed chickens, and how to feed chickens..."

"If it is confirmed to be true, let's call all the battalion commanders and instructors to the assault battalion to learn, and strive for each battalion to build its own chicken farm!"

"I'm going there!" Kong Jie nodded immediately.

"Stop by to see their hunting team and fishing team...see if it's really as good as Company Commander Wei said!"

Wei Dayong patted his chest and promised: "The head of the regiment and the chief of staff should visit and inspect the assault camp at any time..."

"Although the commando battalion has not yet reached the standard of eating meat every meal, it is still no problem to eat a meal of meat or fish every day. I promise not to disappoint the head of the regiment!"

Seeing Wei Dayong's swearing, Kong Jie became more interested in going to the assault camp, so he said immediately.

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, or we will go in a while..."

"I can see it!"

Li Wensheng was also very itchy by Wei Dayong's words. He wished he could rush to the assault battalion to see what happened, so he nodded immediately.

"Regimental Chief... Chief of Staff...Deputy Chief of Staff Huang urgently calls!" Zhang Xuelin, the communications platoon leader, ran over suddenly, panting heavily, and hurriedly reported.

Wei Dayong became anxious as soon as he heard it, and looked eagerly at the telegram in Kong Jie and Li Wensheng's hands, wanting to ask what's wrong, is something wrong with the battalion commander!
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back!

The battalion commander sent a telegram directly to the regiment headquarters, or an urgent telegram, something big must have happened.

I am just a company commander, no matter how I analyze it, I have no right to know.

Kong Jie also thought that something happened to Huang Yu at first, and immediately frowned into a big Sichuan character.

But the frown quickly relaxed, and there was even a smile on the serious face.

But it didn't last long, the smile on his face was replaced by doubt and bewilderment, and the brows were wrinkled again!
Seeing the constant changes in the face of the regiment leader, Wei Dayong became even more anxious! "
