At around 5:30 in the afternoon, the soldiers of the third platoon returned to the camp after training. They came outside the shed where they were cooking, but they did not find anyone from the cooking class there, which made them all stunned.
"No, usually at this time, isn't it dinner time? Why is it late today?" said a soldier.
Usually they can eat as soon as they finish training, and they are on time every day, but today they saw no one.
"It's not like we're out of food, right?"
"The porridge has become thinner in the past two days, so it's obvious that there's not much food left."
"No, you won't be hungry tonight, will you?"
A group of soldiers were talking about it.
Xu Qingfeng also frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."
As he said that, he planned to walk to the kitchen not far away. I would like to see what the cooking team is doing. There is obviously enough food to last for a few days. Are they being lazy?
Before he went to the kitchen, Li Jin walked out.
"Old Xu, the training is over." Li Jin glanced at the group of soldiers not far away.
"Well, what's going on now? Isn't the food ready yet?" Xu Qingfeng nodded and asked.
"Tell the soldiers not to worry. There will be meat tonight and let them wait for half an hour." Li Jin said with a smile. He knew that the soldiers were very hungry now, but the pigs had not been taken care of yet. , haven’t stewed it in the pot yet.
"Where did the meat come from?" Xu Qingfeng was stunned. Did the platoon leader really get game?
"I was lucky today. I shot a wild boar weighing more than a hundred pounds." Li Jin said.
"Real or fake" Xu Qingfeng was very doubtful that the platoon leader was lying to him.
"Really, I never lie." Li Jin replied, "Okay, let the soldiers wait, there will be meat to eat soon."
< p> "Yes." When Xu Qingfeng heard that it was true, he was a little bit tongue-tied. After all, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time. He hurriedly went to tell the soldiers.When the soldiers learned the news, they all burst into cheers.
"Great, there is meat to eat tonight"
"I thought I was going to be hungry"
""
The soldiers were very happy when they heard that there was meat to eat.
Li Jin felt sad to see that the Eighth Route Army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War was indeed very difficult, but in the later stages, the Eighth Route Army was able to be self-sufficient and would not be as difficult as the early days, when they could not even have enough to eat. .
In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army grew its own food and raised its own meat. The food was even better than that of the National Army troops.
After all, within the national army, there are too many officials who drink the blood of soldiers, and corruption is serious. Except for the direct troops who can get three meals a day, other troops are not enough to eat.
Even those soldiers’ salaries were deducted by their superiors. This was not the case with the Eighth Route Army. Officials ate whatever the soldiers ate. We shared the blessings and shared the hardships.
Soon, wild boar was stewed in a pot, as well as pig liver and pig heart., and also mixed with some green vegetables to make soup. The aroma of meat floated in the air. All the soldiers were swallowing saliva and staring at the kitchen from time to time.
They are all in a hurry and want to eat meat quickly.
After waiting anxiously for half an hour, the members of the cooking team came to the shed carrying broth and stewed pork, and all the soldiers immediately lined up.
A member of the cooking class stirred the pork liver soup with a spoon and said, "The fact that you can eat meat tonight is all thanks to the platoon leader. The platoon leader went into the mountains to hunt down a hundred pounds of meat." The heavy wild boar came back, and now we have this meal of meat."
"The platoon leader is mighty"
A group of soldiers shouted.
"After finishing the soup, we will continue to make the soup. There will be enough soup tonight and the meat tube will be full." The cook began to make porridge for the soldiers, along with stewed pork and a bowl of pork liver soup.
The soldiers were given food, and each of them devoured it as if they had not eaten meat for a year.
After eating the meat and drinking the soup, they took the empty bowls to get soup.
They really haven’t felt this kind of fullness for a long time, especially meat. They basically haven’t eaten it a few times except during the Chinese New Year.
Li Jin also went to eat. The cook wanted to give Li Jin some more pieces of meat, but Li Jin refused. He wanted to eat whatever the soldiers ate, and even had to eat less. It is the tradition of the Eighth Route Army.
Xu Qingfeng came to Li Jin with a bowl and squatted down to eat. Soon he had finished the porridge and meat. He wanted to make a bowl of soup, but Xu Qingfeng held back.
In contrast, it would be better to let these half-year-old children eat more. When they come here to join the army, they don’t have enough food to eat, and they don’t drink the broth, which is also a hardship for them.
"Platoon leader, can we still get wild boars tomorrow?" Xu Qingfeng said.
"You think I raised the wild boar. You can have it if you want." Li Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was extremely lucky to be able to catch a wild boar this time, but it would have been difficult to do so if he thought about it.
"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded. If they had wild boar to eat every day, the soldiers' training would be enhanced and their combat effectiveness would also be improved.
"I know you are annoyed, and I am annoyed too. I want to take the soldiers to fight the Japanese, but I am worried that they will suffer heavy casualties. The puppet soldiers are hiding in the city and cannot come out, and there is no chance to find them." Li Jin said.
He knew very well what Xu Qingfeng was thinking.
"In fact, many villagers wanted to donate materials to us, but they all refused. It was really not possible." Xu Qingfeng fell silent after speaking.
"Absolutely not. The villagers are also having a hard time. They have helped us a lot by allowing us to establish a base in the village. If we still want their things, it will be hard to explain," Li Jin said directly.
The villagers are now living without enough to eat, so he has the nerve to ask for things from the villagers.
Xu Qingfeng nodded.
"Are there any bandits or landlords around here who prey on the common people?" Li Jin said. He was thinking about relying on these people to feed Sanqiu.
“There is a place in Xiaowang Village about fifteen miles away from us.The Lord often oppressed the people. "Xu Qingfeng said quickly.
"Okay, that's him," Li Jin said. Many of today's landlords are not good people. They rely on money to recruit ruffians and oppress the people. They all deserve to die.
"Moreover, there is a group of bandits in the mountains about twenty miles away from Xiaowang Village, but there are two to three hundred bandits there. It is very difficult to defeat them," Xu Qingfeng said.< /p>
“Keep the bandits first, and use them later to build courage for the soldiers. "Li Jin said.
Training soldiers with bandits can not only eliminate harm to the people, but also improve the courage of the soldiers and increase their combat effectiveness. It is an excellent whetstone. It is not used in vain.
< p>"Well, when are we going to fight the landlord?" Xu Qingfeng said"Tomorrow I will go to Xiaowang Village to see if the landlord is really bullying the people. Once confirmed. , destroy him directly," Li Jin said.
Although most landowners are not good people, he still has to understand that killing the wrong person is not good.
After all, A small number of landowners also support the war of resistance. If the killing is wrong, he will feel bad.
"Yes. "Xu Qingfeng nodded. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website can be read for free without anti-theft
