As soon as the sky dawned, a loud rally call sounded at the independent company station.
In less than five minutes, more than two hundred soldiers from the entire company stood in front of Zhao Wen, fully armed.
"Comrades, our independent company has achieved good results in this competition, but in my opinion, our independent company still has many shortcomings. As long as we strengthen our training, we will definitely achieve better results in the next competition!"
"The instructor and I decided to use all the 100-yuan reward we brought back yesterday to buy meat, give everyone extra meals, and supplement nutrition to ensure that everyone eats one meal of meat every day and has enough physical strength to train for the next competition.
Come back with another first place finish!”
"In addition, the squad leader of the second squad of the first platoon was transferred by the battalion headquarters. After discussion with the battalion headquarters, it was decided to appoint Li Zhiyong, deputy squad leader of the second squad, as the squad leader and take office immediately!"
Zhao Wen's initial order made everyone in the company excited.
Eat one meal of pork every day and feel full.
Even the original landlords and rich people may not be able to achieve such a good life, let alone myself.
So everyone's eyes were shining brightly and they couldn't wait to start training now.
However, as Li Zhiyong's appointment order came, the expressions on everyone's faces changed, and surprise turned into shock.
How is it possible that a recruit who has joined the Eighth Route Army for less than a month becomes the squad leader?
Zhao Wen seemed to see everyone's doubts, and then added: "I know everyone must be very surprised by this decision. There are many veterans in the independent company who serve as deputy squad leaders, or even soldiers, why not choose them as squad leaders instead of
Choose Li Zhiyong as a new recruit!"
"I can tell you directly: Comrade Li Zhiyong has the ability and strength to be a good squad leader!"
"Although Comrade Li Zhiyong joined the Eighth Route Army for a short time, he trained very hard. In less than a month, his comprehensive ability has exceeded that of many veterans!"
"In our Eighth Route Army, becoming a cadre is not based on qualifications but on connections. As long as you have the ability, even a new recruit can become a cadre!"
"Right now, Li Zhiyong is just a squad leader. I'm sure that as long as he continues to work hard, he will be promoted to platoon leader before long, and he may even replace me as the commander of an independent company!"
"Not only that, the company headquarters is already considering letting Comrade Li Zhiyong join the party!"
Seeing that almost everyone in the company had their faces stunned by the bomb he had thrown, and their faces were stunned, Zhao Wen continued to order.
"You don't need to look at me in such shock. You are all the same. As long as you train well and improve your abilities, you can be a squad leader or even a platoon leader. As for joining the party, that's not to mention!"
"In addition, many of you must be wondering what the people who were removed from the battalion headquarters are doing!"
"I'm also telling you now that they are all among the top ten in each event in this competition. Next, they will receive personal training from the battalion commander and then supplement the reconnaissance platoon."
"Don't underestimate the reconnaissance platoon. After the reorganization, an ordinary investigator in the reconnaissance platoon will be equivalent to the squad leader of the main force. The squad leader will be equivalent to the platoon leader of the main force. He will definitely be the elite unit of the entire battalion!"
"So, when the training is completed, those soldiers who have been removed will at least become squad leaders, and they may even become platoon-level cadres!"
The reasons for new recruits to join the Eighth Route Army vary, but since they have become a member of the Eighth Route Army, no one wants to be an ordinary soldier in the Eighth Route Army for the rest of their life, and they all want to stand out.
Li Zhiyong became squad leader less than a month after joining the Eighth Route Army, which undoubtedly gave them hope.
After the shock, everyone's faces became expectant and hot, and they couldn't wait to get into training now!
Seeing the troops training in full swing on the training ground, Liu Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Company Commander, this decision to promote Li Zhiyong to squad leader is so right. The soldiers are more motivated to train than before!"
Zhao Wen said: "The morale and energy have been boosted by us. The next thing we need to do is to let everyone keep this energy!"
"In this way, we hold a small-scale competition within the independent company every half month, and the recruit with the best overall performance is promoted to deputy squad leader, so that everyone can see the results of their efforts!"
"I agree!" Liu Wenxuan agreed without hesitation.
In the secret camp of Independence Camp, there is a row of simple pig houses made of stones and logs. Not far from the pig house are chicken coops, which are built in rows in the forest, very neatly.
Li Hao heard the crow of roosters from a distance, and then saw a cadre trotting over.
"Platoon Leader Yang!" Li Hao recognized him at a glance.
"Report to the battalion commander, instructor, and the former platoon commander of the third company of the Independent Battalion are ordered to report!" Yang Tiansheng, whose left arm was amputated, ran over and saluted and reported.
"My arm was injured and I couldn't continue to return to the main force to kill the Japanese. I heard from the instructor that we should raise pigs and chickens. I happened to raise these two things in my hometown, so I volunteered to take on this task."
Seeing Yang Tiansheng's high-spirited face and showing no signs of depression due to being unable to return to the army due to a broken arm, Li Hao answered with satisfaction.
"very good!"
"Platoon Leader Yang... No, I should call you Factory Director Yang now. I believe you can also do a great job in the logistics department!"
"Let's talk as we walk and introduce to me the real situation of some pig farms and chicken farms!"
"Yes, battalion commander!" Yang Tiansheng replied quickly.
"The pig farm currently has fifty-four pigs resting, divided into ten pens. There are two sows in one pig house, a total of twelve pig houses!"
"The chicken farm also has twelve chicken houses, each with 100 chicks!"
"At first, dozens of chicks died, but now they are under control and almost no deaths have occurred."
"In addition, the logistics department also allocated 10,000 kilograms of miscellaneous grains to us, mainly sweet potatoes and cereals. Now nearly 1,000 kilograms have been used!"
"There are ten people in the pig farm and chicken farm plus me, three disabled veterans, six prisoners, plus one myself!"
Li Hao thought for a moment and then asked the question he was most concerned about: "When will they be released?"
"The purpose of raising pigs and chickens is to improve the food for the troops and increase some income for the troops. If the cycle is too long, it will definitely not be cost-effective!"
As expected, Yang Tiansheng had raised pigs before. He answered without thinking: "When I raised pigs in my hometown, I could only feed them pig grass and vegetable leaves. It would take a year to be ready for slaughter. But it doesn't take that long here!"
"Although people don't like to eat sweet potatoes and corn, they are good and nutritious for pigs and chickens. Combined with pigweed and vegetable leaves, I am confident that they will be ready for slaughter within half a year!"
"As for the chickens, they will start laying eggs in three months!"
"Very good!" Li Hao's serious face was quickly covered by a smile.
"The pig farm and chicken farm need to be expanded, and we strive to expand to 500 pigs and 5,000 chickens!"
Yang Tiansheng did not answer immediately, but hesitated and reminded: "Batalion Commander, is this quantity too much?"
"With this amount now, nearly two hundred kilograms of grains are used every day. When they grow up, one thousand kilograms a day may not be enough!"
"If the scale continues to expand, at least nearly 10,000 kilograms of grains will be needed a day. Can we afford it?"
Instructor Wang Hong was very happy at first. When he thought that in three months the chicken farm would have a steady stream of eggs, and in half a year the fat pigs would start to be put out, he couldn't help but smile.
But as soon as he heard Li Hao's order and Yang Tiansheng's answer, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
He is the chief steward of the Independence Camp and knows better than anyone else the financial resources and affordability of the Independence Camp.
He immediately shook his head like a rattle and refused: "I don't agree!"
"The troops simply cannot bear such a huge consumption. Even after the autumn harvest, it is impossible to spend more than 10,000 kilograms of grains a day to raise pigs and chickens. The scale can be doubled at most. This is the limit that our independent battalion can bear, and it is also
There is a prerequisite: this year is a good year, and all the public grain can be harvested after the autumn harvest!"
