Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Meishan has once again entered a period of rapid development, and all work is progressing in an orderly manner.

The guard platoon went through layers of selection and selected 84 people from nearly 2,000 people. Only then was the Dragon Blood Squad in Li Yan's mind truly complete.

There are some outstanding talents among them

He Peng and Tao Ying were apprentices in porcelain making in Jingdezhen. They are focused, calm, and cultured. They are natural snipers.

Zhao Sanpao, no matter what kind of cannon, as long as he fires three shots, he can use it accurately. He is gifted.

Zhao Long and Zheng Hu were born in Wudang Mountain. They were so powerful and brave, and they were able to move with ease and achieve great results.

Tong Zhong and Tong Yi are from Cangzhou, Hebei Province. They are also from the same school. Their Baguaquan moves are fierce, simple and unpretentious, and they attack with force.

These four people were selected by Li Yan during the selection and were absorbed into the Dragon Blood Team

There are four special talents

Zhang Jing and Song Sheng, whose ancestors were all doctors, had extraordinary medical skills. They collected herbs in Meishan all year round and ran in the mountains as if they were on flat ground.

The little beggar was originally a man of the world, and he found two special talents among his old friends.

Dai Ping, a tomb robber, can see at night and eat dirt to identify his location

Tong Liang, trained as a thief since childhood, has lightning-fast hands and the ability to shrink bones. There is no door he cannot open and no room he cannot enter.

After the second training, Li Yan cancelled the guard squad and officially changed the name to Dragon Blood Team. From then on, the enemy would be terrified whenever they heard the name of Dragon Blood Team.

The Dragon Blood Team is divided into five teams: Sniper Team, Commando Team, Fire Team, Artillery Team, and Logistics Team.

Sniper team, captain Leopard, deputy captain Lao Mao, a total of 32 people

Divided into four sniper teams, with Leopard, Old Cat, He Peng and Tao Ying as team leaders

Each team consists of 4 snipers and 4 observers

They are all selected first-class shooters

The main shooter is equipped with a 98K sniper rifle

The observer carries a rifle, two pistols, three grenades, and some bullets.

Commando team, led by Taoist priest, 21 people in total

Divide into four groups, with Tong Zhong, Tong Yi, Zhao Long and Zheng Hu as group leaders, each leading a group of 5 people

The requirements for the commando team members are very strict, either they have to be physically strong or have a certain level of martial arts skills.

To enhance the strength of the commandos

Li Yan not only taught the family's Baguaquan skills, but also taught the army's grappling and fighting skills to the commandos.

Fire support team, captain is fisherman, total 20 people,

4 main machine gunners and 4 auxiliary machine gunners, responsible for 4 light machine guns

10 submachine gunners, equipped with MP18 submachine guns

2 logistics personnel, 2 mules and horses

Artillery squad, captain Guo Dali, deputy captain Zhao Sanpao, a total of 30 people

Carrying 6 82MM mortars, 2 mules and 12 mules

Logistics team, a total of 6 people, with the little beggar as the leader

Zhang Jing, Song Sheng, Dai Ping, Tong Liang, Xiao Shitou

Because of his young age, Li Yan was reluctant to let Xiao Shitou join the front-line troops.

Li Yan originally asked Xiao Shitou to follow the old squad leader and go hunting in the mountains.

But after following Li Yan for a long time, he also learned Li Yan's competitive spirit.

Besides hunting, Little Stone would hang out in the guard squad when he had nothing to do.

Because he is young and has a sweet mouth, the guards like him and are willing to teach him a few tricks.

Every time Little Stone learns a skill, he practices hard in secret.

This time, he secretly carried out the selection of new recruits behind Li Yan and the old squad leader.

Among thousands of recruits, the overall score ranked second

If he wasn't young and a little weak in fighting, he would definitely be number one.

The purpose of Xiao Shitou doing this is to be able to join the Dragon Blood Team one day

Li Yan originally did not allow it, but after Xiao Shitou's constant nagging and moving people, he finally agreed to let Xiao Shitou become a member of the Dragon Blood Brigade and join the logistics team.

So far, the Dragon Blood Team has a total of 108 people, plus one rear member

With the Dragon Blood Team and the Meishan Guerrilla Brigade, the strength has reached a new height.

The second development and change is that the construction corps in Li Yan’s mind has also been recognized by everyone.

When Li Yan proposed to build a corps last time, everyone still had doubts. The next day, Li Yan went to the logistics platoon to build an earthworm pond.

Fujian is a place with high temperature and humidity. In addition, Meishan has a large amount of virgin forest, no one has developed it, the land is quiet and fertile, which is an ideal place for earthworms to survive.

Chickens and ducklings are omnivores. They eat fat and large natural pollution-free earthworms. They grow rapidly every day. In ten days, they have already weighed more than one kilogram. The growth is gratifying.

In the past, people used grains and feed to feed poultry. In that era when people were not able to eat enough, feeding poultry was a luxury. Who would have thought of feeding poultry with earthworms?

Everyone saw that raising chickens and ducks did not require grain feed, and in the later stage there would be a large number of chicken and duck eggs and meat to eat. This was a business with no capital investment, so everyone was very enthusiastic.

The scale of chicken and duck farming is getting bigger and bigger, from the initial 50 to more than 1000 now.

Li Yan also personally taught the breeding staff how to build chicken houses, hatcheries, seedling rooms, etc., how to modernize management, how to prevent diseases, etc., without any details.

Li Yan did this because he knew that the development of any new thing must have a benchmark.

Li Yan is setting a benchmark

Not only that, Li Yan also suggested raising rabbits and developing fish ponds

Rabbits are also very easy to raise. Wild grass and vegetable leaves are fine. Rabbits have stronger reproductive capacity. They grow up to six months old and reproduce once a month, with about 4-6 rabbits at a time. They can provide a continuous supply of meat. They are simply treasures.

Animal feces can also be used to raise fish and store farm manure

Li Yan told the old squad leader

Pile rice straw, grass, leaves, animal and human feces in a large pit, turn it over regularly, and let it ferment for three months before spreading it into the rice fields. This can increase grain yield per mu by at least 30%.

When the old squad leader heard the figure of 30% increase, his heart trembled.

After some calculation, in this era, one mu of land can produce 120 kilograms of rice a year, which is considered high yield. In Fujian, there are two crops a year, which means 240 kilograms. An increase of 30% means an additional yield of 72 kilograms. If there are 5 mu of land, the extra yield is enough for an adult to eat well.

The old squad leader is incredible

Li Yan suggested that the old squad leader take the logistics platoon to conduct an experiment. They planted two acres of sweet potato on a mountain, one acre for normal cultivation and one acre for composting. The yield would be determined by comparing them.

The old squad leader knew the significance of increasing grain production, so he personally led the logistics platoon to open up several acres of wasteland near the source cave, and planted not only sweet potatoes, but also potatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other vegetables.

Before the sweet potatoes were ripe, the old squad leader was convinced that the fast-growing cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes had already begun to bear fruit. The vegetables sprinkled with compost had big and good fruits.

The average output is 60% higher than before

With these proofs, Li Yan began to try to form a construction corps

The Construction Corps has several subordinate institutions, including the Medical Clinic, Military Industry Institute, Animal Husbandry Institute, Farmers' Association, Absenteeism Relief Team, Infrastructure Team, and Logistics Office.

In addition, literacy classes, night schools, and agricultural schools were established in Meishan to organize local people to learn about culture.

After this change, Meishan suddenly became full of vitality.

The elderly, women and children organized breeding teams, clothing teams, medical teams, etc.

Young and strong people organize pioneering teams, mining teams, infrastructure teams, logging teams, etc.

For other lightly wounded and seriously injured soldiers who were not fit to go to the battlefield after recovery, Li Yan dispersed them to the village and organized local militia and village committee to assist in management.

Later, Li Yan proposed the slogan of "self-sufficiency and hard work" in the army.

More than 2000 young and strong soldiers, with guns in one hand to defend their homes and tools in the other to build their homes, have fully integrated with the people and have already formed the prototype of the Construction Corps.

This also solved the two biggest problems in Li Yan's mind: one was the problem of the survival of the common people, and the other was the problem of the enemy spies.

With the power of the people, the enemy spies had nowhere to hide. In just two months, Meishan captured enough enemy spies to form a reinforced platoon.
