I brought a thousand kilograms of corn flour with me, which should be enough to help you out in an emergency.
When the road is open, I will have to trouble Captain Wang to borrow military trucks to transport grain to the various production teams."
"Haha! Secretary Liu!
If it were any other production brigade, I wouldn’t dare to brag.
But the Linjiagou Production Brigade should not have suffered too much loss at present, and most of the grain should have been saved."
Wang Biao assured with a hearty laugh.
"Oh? Captain Wang, why do you say that? Have you already discussed with the Linjiagou Production Brigade about some solution?"
Secretary Liu asked with a bit of surprise.
"No, it's just that there is a genius in the Linjiagou Production Brigade, named Lin Huowang. He predicted the rat plague before the New Year and borrowed a lot of diesel from my military camp warehouse to deal with the rat plague.
You said that with his brain around, no matter how serious the rat plague is, the losses can be minimized.
The other production team leaders almost all followed his advice and borrowed a lot of diesel from me."
"Oh? It's this Lin Huowang again. The reason why I chose the road to Linjiagou was to see this Lin Huowang.
Captain Wang, it seems that you know a lot about Lin Huowang.
Can you tell me how you got to know Lin Huowang, and what else is worth talking about?"
"Haha! That's true. Lin Huowang is a company-level cadre in our regiment!"
"What? A company-level cadre, Captain Wang, you are right, right? Isn't he a villager from Linjiagou in our Red Star Commune?
How come he joined the army again and became a cadre in your regiment? As far as I know, Lin Huowang is only 18 years old! And he is already a company commander? His administrative level is comparable to that of a commune secretary like me. It’s impossible!”
"How is it impossible? Of course, Lin Huowang has made special contributions to our army, so the commander promoted him to the rank of company-level cadre. Let me tell you..."
The two men started chatting while shoveling snow to clear a path.
Of course, Wang Biao would not say a word when it comes to military secrets.
Including other officers, the information and statements conveyed to the outside world were all that Lin Huowang was a good shooter and was specially invited to serve as a shooting instructor in the army. He was given the rank of company commander as an exception, and there was nothing serious going on.
But even so, Liu Qisheng, the secretary of the Red Star Commune, was already shocked.
He, an old fellow who was about to retire, had only reached the eighteenth administrative level, while Lin Huowang, who had just turned eighteen, had already caught up with his lifetime achievements. It was even possible that his military salary and subsidies would be higher than his, the commune secretary.
"The young are to be feared! The young are truly to be feared!
Captain Wang, after hearing what you said, I become even more interested in Comrade Lin Huowang.
When the road is open, I must take a good look at him to see if he has three heads and six arms and is that powerful. Haha..."
Secretary Liu was very energetic. He wielded a shovel and cleared the snow bit by bit.
However, since the regiment commander Wang Biao knew the situation in Linjiagou where Lin Huowang was located, which must be the best among all the production teams, the number of soldiers accompanying him was the least, only about a hundred people.
The other six routes were led by several deputy regiment commanders and political commissars, and provided access to some production brigades that were farther away.
But now with the help of the militiamen brought by the commune secretary, the strength has been increased, and it is hoped that the road to Linjiagou can be completely opened before and after dark.
…
And in Linjiagou, in front of the production team headquarters.
A pot of wild boar meat porridge was quickly divided up in front of three or four hundred villagers.
But soon after, Lin Shuisheng opened the grain warehouse of the production team, and Lin Huowang also went home to get some wild boar meat, and continued to cook it in the big iron pot in the team headquarters.
Just like the big pot meals in previous years, the deserted production team suddenly became lively.
Everyone held their bowls, smelled the strong aroma of meat coming from the pot, swallowed their saliva and waited to eat.
For the time being, I have put behind me the shock and terror I felt last night due to the rat plague.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, most of the villagers were present, and Lin Huowang announced his plan to everyone.
"The mountain is now blocked by heavy snow and the road is inaccessible to the outside world.
There is not much grain left in our production team's granary.
Although I believe that the outside commune will soon open a road and rescue us.
However, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death, we must start self-rescue.
so……
I discussed it with Uncle Shuisheng and organized a mountain guarding and hunting team in advance.
Any young and strong person in the village who wants to join the hunting team can sign up.
As long as you pass my assessment, you can become a member of the hunting team.
I will start with your preliminary training, including marksmanship training, various things to pay attention to after entering the mountains, the making of some traps, the patterns and characteristics of different prey, etc.
Of course, after you have learned it, it becomes your personal ability.
But the prey hunted belongs to the entire production team.
Our hunting team will be able to obtain more prey allocations according to the size of their contribution.
Those who agree and recognize these can go to the team headquarters to find the women cadres to sign up. Registration is only available today because we must start training tomorrow.
After all, time waits for no one. What if it takes ten days or half a month to dig through the road?"
Although Lin Huowang knew clearly that Captain Wang would lead more than a thousand People's Liberation Army soldiers to help clear the passage.
