One day in the Blacksmith Village, everyone involved in the operation was making final preparations because of the fish fry plan. [
"Each soldier carries four grenades and four can bombs. Such a firepower configuration should be sufficient." Yang Mingzhi estimated that if two thousand explosives were thrown into the river, would the firepower density be too high?
Therefore, the troops must be separated and operate in a large area, especially the area near the river bank, where various fish activities occur, including giant catfish.
The location for the fish fry has been determined by the Blacksmith Village. It is a place with a gentle river and is nearly ten kilometers away from the Blacksmith Village.
The swamps in the Pripet River Basin are very large and extend all the way to the Dnieper River. There are also many reeds and aquatic plants around the destination, and the river channel is slightly complicated. Such hydrological characteristics are very suitable for the growth of fish, and there are many green shrimps and river crabs.
According to Yang Mingzhi, the most delicious river food is crab. Later Chinese people ate crabs on a large scale, giving rise to river crab farming. As for Europe, no one is willing to eat such domineering little monsters. I am afraid the biggest reason is-no meat.
.
As expected, Mao Zi and other Europeans still don't know how to eat fish, but they don't know that crab paste and crab roe are the most delicious food. So Yang Mingzhi ordered people to make a temporary net and gave several soldiers tasks. "You don't need to directly participate in the fish frying, every day
I would wear a rubber jacket and sweep among the aquatic plants, collecting whatever I found."
Most people couldn't tell what Yang Mingzhi had planned, but Yang Tao understood immediately. As a Chinese, she knew all kinds of river delicacies. I'm afraid a few soldiers could catch a bunch of river mussels after a sweep. The soup would be very delicious.
The day's intense preparations are over, and on a new day, everyone rushes to the "fish frying" scene with high spirits.
Many soldiers were carrying boats, and others were driving carriages. On them were various fishing tools. Soldiers had to carry explosives and also harpoons. The so-called harpoon was nothing more than a spearhead inserted into a long wooden stick. Yang Mingzhi saw,
Some people even carried iron rakes used by farmers to rake grass, and some had tridents, which were specially used for inserting fish.
Yang Tao was sitting curled up on the carriage, wearing a woolen cloak. Yang Mingzhi himself was also carrying a spear with a newly manufactured spearhead specially used for catching big fish.
At this moment, the entire army is carrying a variety of weapons, so that this mighty team does not look like a modern army. Everyone has returned to hundreds of years ago, which is reminiscent of the era of Kievan Rus.
Everyone moved forward in the mud, and the team was well-trained so it was orderly. More than a hundred people were dispatched to Kavitsky's side, most of them had fishing experience. The troops moved toward the southeast. After a few miles, a large river blocked the people.
place to go.
Yang Mingzhi rushed to Kavitsky, who was in the team, raised his telescope and looked into the distance.
"I'm afraid this is the Dnieper River. This river is really wide."
"Yes." Kavitsky affirmed, "Because it is wide, the river flows slowly, and the water is not very deep. Due to the rain before, the current water level of the river is the highest point of the year."
There is a lot of food hidden in this river. After a fishing spree, the food problem can be greatly improved. Yang Mingzhi stretched himself and ordered the troops to set up camp immediately and start taking action immediately after lunch.
They set out early in the morning and started taking action in the afternoon. The troops moved very quickly. Yang Mingzhi didn't want to wait. After all, there was not much time. The sooner he caught the fish, the sooner he could eat fish. And not only for this reason, Yang Mingzhi knew that the first
After the rain ends, there will be another rain after a period of clear weather.
Judging from the experience of the first rain, continuous heavy rain is impossible, but the rain is very heavy in the direction of the German attack. The second round of rain will make the roads muddy, and flood prevention work must be done in the swamp. Wait.
When the new round of rain ends, we have to deal with a sudden cold snap, but it's already the end of November.
The troops immediately began to set up camp, setting up tents one by one among the reeds, and setting up temporary stoves where the soldiers had a picnic.
Ordinary soldiers gnawed on bread and drank vegetable soup. Naturally, Yang Mingzhi brought the noodles made last night. This was made by Carambola, and the delicious food attracted Kavitsky and Balzen.
"You guys should eat some too, Bessika made it." Yang Mingzhi smiled and poured some into their rice bowls, while Yang Guo looked at them happily.
While eating, Kavitsky asked: "Deputy Commander, how long are we going to stay here?"
"It might take a few days. We have to catch a lot of fish. You have to prepare the carriage and have enough salt."
"There is also a big pit, put some fish in it." Kavitsky said.
"Yes, there will be no problem if we follow the plan. Let's eat quickly and take action immediately!"
Lunch was finished quickly, and then the boats were launched one after another. The soldiers carried long hemp ropes to connect the boats together, and soon formed a fleet, demarcating a huge area like a chain.
After an hour, the "combat area" has been demarcated, and the soldiers are in their positions, waiting for Yang Mingzhi to issue combat orders.
"Okay, now it's time to gather the harvest. We are going to blow up this water area!" Yang Mingzhi ordered his wife to stay away for the time being, while he lit a cigarette and held a can bomb in his mouth. He held a can bomb in his right hand.
With a wave of his hand, the orderly soldier fired a shot into the sky, signaling a louder order.
In an instant, more than a hundred people threw explosives at the same time, and each person threw them very far. The cans fell into the water and sank. Then they exploded violently, generating great pressure and causing huge splashes of water.
The catfish hiding in the muddy areas of the river bottom immediately became victims. They were like submarines damaged by depth charges, and were immediately shaken to internal injuries. The unlucky fish began to surface, with their bellies in the air. After only three minutes,
There were many fish floating on the river, and among them was exactly what Yang Mingzhi hoped to get.
He picked up the binoculars and looked at the river surface, and saw three huge white floating objects still trembling slightly. "Great! That must be the large six-bearded catfish! The most ferocious species!" Yang Mingzhi pointed with his finger.
, and soon a small boat was dispatched, and several soldiers stabbed it hard with a harpoon, killing the fish.
The first wave of operations achieved a great victory. All the fish in the area surrounded by boats were caught in one net, and the soldiers had a great time fishing. Three big fish were dragged to the river, and a group of soldiers struggled to drag them ashore.
The onlookers were stunned. As mentioned before, each of the three catfishes was bigger than a human being, even bigger than a cow.
Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and looked at the victory with joy. Yang Tao was a little scared and subconsciously hid behind her husband, holding on to his arm.
"What? A little scared?"
"Yes. This fish must have become a sperm!" Yang Tao said bluntly.
"Don't be afraid, dear, this is what a big fish looks like. There are even bigger ones in the sea. The more you know about them, the less strange they will be. Also, this fish is actually very delicious!"
This was a good start. The soldiers were busy catching fish, and then threw various types of fish, large and small, into the carriage. Then they hurried back to the blacksmith village and started making salted fish on the spot. As for the three big fish, they were slaughtered immediately.
