Before and after the Qingming Festival, he planted melons and beans. The last time Qiao Guoqiang appeared in the Independent Regiment's area, he saw Kong Jie carrying a hoe and Li Yunlong carrying a horse to the fields to transport manure.
"Are you two going to become farmers?”Qiao Guoqiang asked.
" What change of profession?!" Li Yunlong said," Do you think everyone is a young master like you?! I, Old Li, am a farmer!"
Kong Jie walked to the front of the car and looked at the tricycle that Qiao Guoqiang was riding. He explained," The snow has melted, and the weather is getting warmer. Isn't this spring plowing?!"
"The people in this village have all joined the army. Some have been sacrificed, and some have been transferred!”Li Yunlong said," As soldiers, of course we have to help our fellow countrymen.”
"Well said!" Qiao Guoqiang clapped his hands." With your style, you will be the ones to rule the world in the future!”
" Hahaha..." Old Li laughed so hard that his two front teeth were showing. He pointed at Qiao Guoqiang and said," Then why don't you join us, profiteer?"”
"According to the United Front, I am also your comrade now.”Qiao Guoqiang said," Besides, I'm a young master. I'm full of decadent petty sentiments. I can't stand the pain of revolution with you bumpkins.”
"Taking a step back, if I were to suffer with you, who would help you find opportunities to do those things that can be enjoyed?”Qiao Guoqiang patted the back of the truck and said," Hurry up and get someone to unload the truck!”
"What did you bring?"
Qiao Guoqiang lifted the canvas and pointed at the inside of the truck."40 plows, 100 hoes, and 200 catties of seeds.”
Li Yun Long and Kong Jie immediately took out a plowshare and looked at the sharp edge of the blade. The steel of the plowshare was almost comparable to that of the bayonet.”
"You can take it and distribute it to the villagers!" Qiao Guoqiang said," With these things, you can also complete the spring ploughing and sowing earlier.”
"Alright!" Li Yunlong immediately called the security platoon to bring the things back to the regiment headquarters.
"Hey, what's in this box?" After taking down two bags of potatoes and corn, Kong Jie pointed at the innermost box and asked.
Qiao Guoqiang glanced at it and said indifferently,"”
" Bayonet?!" "Can you get a bayonet?" Kong Jie asked.
"Yes!" Qiao Guoqiang admitted. "Last time, Brother Zhang had a soldier who had a broken bayonet. When I asked, I found out that many of the soldiers didn't have a full set of bayonet. I left some for you."
"How many?" Kong Jie asked. The arsenal of the Eighth Route Army could now produce grenades and mines, as well as pistols and rifles, but it could not produce bayonet. Not to mention the problem of materials, they couldn't make a single button.
"500!" Qiao Guoqiang found a hardware factory in Deyang and custom-made 500 Japanese 30-year-old bayonet in the name of props and crafts, which cost him nearly 30,000 yuan.
Kong Jie quickly asked,"Can you get a large number of bayonet?"”
"I can!" Qiao Guoqiang said," But I don't really want to do it. I might as well get you a few more sniper rifles!”
"I want a sniper rifle and a bayonet!" Kong Jie said anxiously," Without a bayonet, a soldier would have to carry an extra broadsword. If you can equip everyone with a bayonet, you can save a lot of food! Moreover, the bayonet was much easier to practice than the broadsword, and the recruits were also easier to master.”
So it was like this! As the regiment commander, Kong Jie was more concerned about the consumption of troops. The bayonet was only a few hundred grams, while the broadsword weighed a few kilograms. The movement of the bayonet was to stab, while the broadsword was to swing. The strength consumed was naturally very different.
"Five hundred bayonet blades are enough for you!”Qiao Guoqiang said," I'll only give you the steel and the tenons later. You can handle the rest yourself!”
"Alright!" Kong Jie agreed. You want antiques, right? We'll beat up another traitor landlord later and raid his house. The gold bars and antiques are yours, and the silver and grain are mine. How about it?”
"Sure!"
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie went to arrange the production, while Zhao Gang took the potatoes and corn and carefully studied the " Planting Notes " given to him by Qiao Guoqiang.
"We haven't planted this corn before.”Zhao Gang was a little worried. According to the booklet, the production of this thing was very high, and it could provide a large amount of starch. However, in Shanxi, millet had always been the main food crop. The common people had never grown corn and potato before.
"If you haven't planted it before, you can learn. If the common people don't dare to plant it, then let them watch for a year.”Qiao Guoqiang said," When the autumn harvest comes, everyone will come and beg for the seeds.”
" Mm," Zhao Gang agreed with Qiao Guoqiang, so he said," Why don't we find a place to plant some first?”
"Alright! However, this thing had to germinate and grow seedlings first before transplanting. Let's grow the seedlings first."
After working with Zhao Gang for three days, Qiao Guoqiang planted some seeds of Mexican corn grass and lucerne in the ravine, beside the stream, and near the forest on the mountain.
In the spring, those devils suddenly became more obedient and did not enter the mountains to burn, kill, and rob. They also knew that they were in the middle of spring plowing, so they wouldn't be able to harvest anything even if they entered the mountains. More importantly, their food supply was not enough to support a large-scale battle.
"What did you get by the river and in the mountains?”Li Yunlong asked Qiao Guoqiang. "I've never seen those seeds before.”
"I just planted some grass!"
"Fuck?" Li Yunlong shook his head. Young Master Qiao doesn't seem like someone who would plant grass to harm farmers.”He chuckled." Tell me, what is it?”
Qiao Guoqiang glanced at him and said," Didn't you build a cavalry company? He had to deal with the horse feed, right? Eating weeds every day,
Can the horse keep up? One had to know that the war horses of the Japanese ate bean cakes and sometimes eggs.”
"Then what you planted is horse feed?”
"Yes, I am!" Qiao Guoqiang said to Li Yunlong," If you want to increase your combat strength, it doesn't depend on how many soldiers you recruit or how many weapons you have. Logistics support, soldier training, and weapon maintenance were all factors that affected combat effectiveness.”
"You want to build a cavalry unit?!”
"That's right!" Li Yunlong got angry when he said this." Didn't you participate in that war? It wasn't easy to get a few hundred horses, but in the end, half of them were taken away by the brigade commander, leaving me with a company!”
"Be content!" Qiao Guoqiang once said," A horse's appetite is equivalent to three people, and during a war, it is equivalent to four people. Having a cavalry company was equivalent to having an infantry battalion. Could you afford it?”
