Chapter 87: hunting party
Chapter 87 Hunting Team
Zhao Dahai went to the commune in person the next day, and applied again to the commune leaders, asking the higher authorities to distribute guns and ammunition.
The cadres of Xigang Commune expressed their embarrassment, and this matter was not easy to handle.
The main reason is that the Xigang Commune was only established a few years ago.
In the past, Xigang Commune was still a brigade, which was managed by Daying Commune.
A few years ago, the Xigang, Canling, Dongling, Dongfeng, Qingling, Nanling, and Fumin brigades were separated from Daying Commune.
In addition to Liangshan, Jinjiaxiaoshan, Shendingzi, and Nuanshui, Xigang Commune was established.
Xigang Commune has been established for a short time, and has no foundation. It is very poor.
The commune doesn’t have that many guns, so they have to report to their superiors and wait for their reply.
This is reported to the higher level, waiting for the approval of the superior, I don't know what year and month.
But the herd of wild boars can’t wait. Those animals are wandering here and there looking for food. I don’t know which brigade will suffer tomorrow. What should I do?
Recalling Xu Shiyan's proposal, Zhao Dahai suggested calling all the cadres of each brigade to a meeting and gathering the strength of all the brigades to form a hunting team.
Then try to find a way to borrow some equipment from the Jinshan Forest Farm Security Section. No matter what else, let's shoot down the group of wild boars first.
The leaders of the commune made sense when they heard it, so they immediately sent people to various places and called the cadres of several brigades together for a meeting.
The range of activities of wild boars and wolves is in each brigade of Xigang Commune.
This place is remote, with many mountains and forests, a small population, and scattered villages.
Dongling and Nanling brigades are the most populous, with only seven to eight hundred people, and Qingling has about 600 people.
Fumin, Dongjiangyan, and Dongfeng, these brigades have about 400 people, and the rest of them have less than 200 people.
The cadres of several brigades got together and discussed the matter in a hurry. The discussion lasted for a long time.
Finally, it was decided to mobilize young people from various brigades, especially the militiamen, to form a hunting team and go into the mountains to encircle wild boar herds.
"Then it's settled. On January 17th, which is the day after tomorrow, all brigades will send people to the commune to gather.
Let's form a hunting team and go into the mountains to clean up the herd of wild boars. "The leaders of the commune made the final decision.
"All of you, all the brigades, have given away your money, and the commune has also figured out a way to support it as much as possible.
This time, we must destroy the group of wild boars, and we must not let them harm our things again. "
Zhao Dahai rushed back to the brigade after the meeting, and immediately called the young people in the village to the team headquarters for a meeting.
"The commune has decided to mobilize forces from various villages to form hunting teams and go into the mountains to encircle wild boar herds.
Our brigade will pick out twenty young and strong young men to join. "
"Now I'll roll the roll. If I get the roll call, I'll go home and make preparations. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, I'll gather at the commune and discuss specific hunting matters." Zhao Dahai took the list and began to read.
"Xu Shiyan, Yang Chunming, Zhao Jianshe, Zhao Jianguo, Li Erniu, Wang Zhijun, Xu Shian, Xu Shixiang..."
Zhao Dahai read a lot of names, almost all of them are young and strong in the village, and have performed well in militia training. It is estimated that the only exception is Xu Shiyan.
"This time we went hunting in the mountains, the captain of our Dongjiangyan hunting team is Xu Shiyan.
You all remember, everything is arranged by him. "After reading all the names, Zhao Dahai finally said this.
"Huh? Uncle Zhao, how did I become the captain?" Xu Shiyan was stunned when he heard that, why did he become the captain?
"No, no, I don't have the ability." Hunting is nothing else, so it's inappropriate for him to be the captain, right?
"Why can't you do it? This winter, those wild boars and blind men in your family have been sent back like running water. Aren't they all beaten by you?
Ask these young people in the village, who has the ability like you?
Among other things, didn’t you come back after beating four wolves a few days ago? I think you are just right. "
Zhao Dahai blew his beard and stared. After looking around, he seemed to scold anyone who dared to disobey.
"Yes, third brother, why are you being modest at this time?
We big guys, wish we could go hunting with you.
Don't worry, we will definitely listen to your arrangements when the time comes, and we can make any adjustments as you say, and we will not give you any trouble for safekeeping. "
Zhao Jianshe spoke next to him, looking excited.
"Yes, third brother, among our group of people, you are the only one who has serious experience in hunting. If you follow you into the mountains, we will accept it.
If anyone dares not to listen to you when he enters the mountain, we will kick him. "Yang Chunming and the others also expressed their views immediately.
Xu Shiyan saw that there were a total of twenty people, and the Xu family brothers accounted for three.
The remaining ones, most of them have a good relationship with Xu Shiyan, especially Yang Chunming, looking for Jianshe and others, they are all close friends.
As for Chen Deyong, he is not on the list this time.
All right, now that we've talked about this, it's a bit unreasonable for him to refuse.
"Okay, since everyone trusts me, I have the cheek to agree."
"That's right, you don't have to babble so much, just don't say anything, just do it." Zhao Dahai became happy when he heard it.
The hunting crews were settled, and Zhao Dahai asked people to take out all the guns and ammunition in the village and distribute them to everyone.
Dongjiangyan brigade has a total of ten guns, but there is no way to have one of them, and only some people can be kept close.
However, Zhao Dahai promised that the commune will support a batch, and it is estimated that it can be used.
On the 16th, everyone rested separately. On the 17th, in the early morning of the 17th, twenty young men from the Dongjiangyan Brigade went straight to the commune to assemble with guns on their shoulders.
In this kind of big siege, the lack of hunting dogs is useless at all, and it will add to the chaos, so Xu Shiyan didn't bring dogs.
At eight o'clock in the morning, people from various brigades also arrived one after another.
Those with a large population will send more people, and those with a small population can only pick out a few, and there will be hundreds of people together, half of whom have no guns.
Fortunately, the commune still had some reserves, and the secretary of the commune went to Daying Commune overnight to second a group, and with some support from the Jinshan Forest Farm Security Section, everyone was given guns.
There are so many people beating, and the beating is a group of pigs, so you have to be a little bit strategic.
It is not enough for seven people to be the head of the family and eight people to be the head of the family. You have to choose a person who everyone trusts to be the captain.
How to choose? Then you have to choose from among the captains.
Someone suggested that, when it comes to marksmanship, whichever team leader is better at marksmanship, the big guy will listen to him.
Only when one person gives orders and the others cooperate fully can this tough battle be fought well.
Those who can come are all young men in their twenties and full of vigor, just compare them, who is afraid of whom?
So a target was set up in the open space at the west end of the commune, and several captains stepped forward to shoot. There were five rounds in total, and the one with the best score was selected.
After five rounds, Xu Shiyan became the captain with the best score, and everyone in the Dongjiangyan Brigade jumped up excitedly.
People from other brigades, some have heard of Xu Shiyan, and some have not.
But no matter what, since the rules are recognized by everyone, the elected people must also accept them.
"Brother Xu, today's hunt is up to you to command, tell me, how shall we fight?"
