Chapter 184
"Damn it, this life is really impossible." Sun Laobao raised his neck and drank the cold water from the kettle into his stomach, but how could the cold stream water be hungry? A pot of water fell into his stomach, and the hunger became even stronger.
It is probably difficult for people who have never been hungry to imagine the feeling of being hungry. That kind of taste can really make people crazy. Sun Laobao felt that he was about to go crazy now, especially not far away from the opposite side, the chefs of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army of Southern Anhui were busy cooking. The smell of rice, vegetable and meat wafted along the wind, drilling straight into his nostrils, and could not even cover them.
"Company Commander, I'm hungry." A new recruit stared at the front with green light, swallowing.
"Company Commander, I'm hungry, I want to eat." Another recruit's eyes were also green, and his Adam's apple was twitching.
"Eat and eat, you know how to eat." Sun Laobao became angry and slapped each of the two recruits.
To be honest, it is really not easy for the national army in the Third War Zone. The National Government has not paid military pay seriously for more than two years. Occasionally, it also issued military pay several times, but it was still legal currency. In southern Anhui and western Zhejiang, the legal currency is not as good as the straw paper for wiping the butt. The mountain people here only recognize the ocean and do not receive legal currency at all. Therefore, sending military pay is equivalent to not being paid.
There is no way, the Third War Zone Institute has all the troops, armies, and divisions can only prepare supplies themselves.
Unfortunately, southern Anhui and Zhejiang are already very poor. The local people are busy drafting the food they dig from the ground all day. Even the whole family cannot support the food they dig from the ground, so how can they provide the army with excess supply? Therefore, the army can only grab it, but even if it grabs it, there will always be a time to grab it. At the beginning of this spring, the officers and soldiers of the Third War Zone found that even if they grab it, it would be difficult to grab food again.
If you don’t have food to eat, you have to dig the bark and eat grass roots, but at this time, you can’t even eat grass roots.
The two new recruits were beaten, but they didn't respond as if they were wood. They still said to Sun Laobao: "Company Commander, Hungry."
That's not all. As soon as these two new recruits shouted, all the brothers in the company were alarmed. They sat up from the ground and looked at the opposite side with green eyes. Sun Laobao was a little worried, worried that something would happen.
If people are hungry, everything will be done. Sun Laobao is afraid that these young young men who are hungry will take action. The southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army on the opposite side is not easy to mess with. If robbing their food, wouldn’t it be like a Tai Sui’s head? Can there be good fruits to eat?
At that moment, Sun Laobao hurriedly found the battalion commander and said, "Battleman, brothers are so hungry, can you get some food?"
"You're relaxed." The battalion commander glared at Sun Laobao coldly and said angrily, "Get some food, where do you want me to get it?"
Sun Laobao looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Baishou, I heard that before the troops were sent, the division sent rations to our regiment based on the head. Each person had five kilograms of food, but until now, I have not seen this rations come down. Are you looking for the regiment?"
"Look for a group post, find a group post, and you need to find it yourself." The battalion commander's face immediately turned dark and he slapped Sun Laobao in the face.
The battalion commander was also angry and had no place to vent his anger. In fact, he had just returned from the regiment headquarters and was scolded by the regiment commander for food rations.
This time, Gu Zhutong actually spent a lot of money to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army. He almost emptied all the strategic reserves in the third war zone, including giving a soldier 50 kilograms of rations of rations of 50 kilograms of rations of rations, although it is not much, if you save some food and add some wild vegetables and make porridge to drink, you can eat them for almost two months.
Unfortunately, once the opening of the army robbery of grain was torn open, the discipline of the army disappeared in an instant.
Once discipline collapses, all kinds of dirty things will emerge, including eating empty salary and drinking soldiers' blood.
The fifty kilograms of rations per person were levied by the commander-in-chief of the group army, commander and division commander, and when they were distributed to each regiment, there was only a little left. Some regiment commanders were kind-hearted and distributed these little rations, but some regiment commanders were so unhappy that they even exploited the only rations, completely ignoring the lives and deaths of the officers and soldiers below.
Sun Laobao and his camp had such a group leader.
"Zhang Zun, how can you hit someone so well?" Sun Laobao was slapped in the face for no reason and was also annoyed.
Speaking of which, Sun Laobao is also a veteran who participated in the Battle of Shanghai and the Nanjing Defense War. He has been a soldier for so many years and has fought for so many years. Except for being beaten by veterans when he first joined the army, he was the only one who beat others. Where can anyone dare to beat him?
"What's wrong with fighting you? You dare to stare at me, and you're against the sky?" The battalion commander was delegated from the chief's office half a month ago. He was originally a staff officer of the chief's office. It is said that he graduated from the Central Military Academy, but he has never fought much.
"Damn, what's wrong with me glaring at you? I'll beat you up." Sun Laobao was furious and overturned the battalion commander.
Any veteran who has been on the battlefield, seen blood and even killed people will definitely not have a good temper. Whenever something happens, they are more willing to speak with their fists than reasoning. Sun Laobao joined the army in the 20th year of the Republic of China and reached the position of company commander with one knife and one shot. It was not because of luck, but because of his real skills. He was not convinced by the battalion commander who had just arrived, so he would not care even more.
The battalion commander was caught off guard and was overturned to the ground by Sun Laobao. When he got up from the ground, his white face was already so angry that he immediately took out a pistol from the holster to kill Sun Laobao. Another company commander and several battalion commanders were present to stop him quickly. After all, he snatched the pistol from the battalion commander. The other company commander also separated Sun Laobao who was still scolding him.
"Sun Laobao, do you dare to beat the commander? Do you have any military rules and regulations in your eyes? Wait, wait for me, I must look good." Although the battalion commander was stopped by several staff officers, he was so angry that he was still storming.
"I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you to clean up, damn it." Sun Laobao spitted disdainfully and said, "Isn't it just that he went to a bullshit Central Military Academy? In the Songhu battlefield, the cadets and soldiers of the teaching corps died in batches. I've seen so many times that I haven't even fought a war, so I dare to fill garlic cloves in front of me. What's your thing?"
Another company commander persuaded Sun Laobao back to the station after much persuasion.
When he returned to the station, he saw more than 100 new recruits in the company sitting there watching the drooling opposite him, and Sun Laobao became more and more upset.
Compared with other company commanders, Sun Laobao is actually a competent commander. At least he has not deducted any rations, nor has he sold ammunition secretly. In the entire army sequence, Sun Laobao's company is definitely the most complete military equipment. Regardless of model, each soldier still has one rifle. Although the ammunition is not sufficient, each person has twenty bullets and four grenades are still sufficient.
Unlike other companies, more than half of the new recruits have wooden guns in their hands. As for ammunition, each soldier can have five bullets and two grenades, which is quite good.
Sun Laobao has always strictly prohibited the officers and soldiers from selling weapons and ammunition.
But now, Sun Laobao has begun to shake, or he should really sell some weapons and ammunition, at least he needs to fill his stomach, right?
Just as Sun Laobao was thinking about whether he would use some weapons and ammunition to exchange some rations with the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army opposite, the battalion commander, who had just been offended by him, suddenly appeared with two guards. The two guards were still escorting a recruit. The recruit had a blue nose and a swollen face. It was obvious that someone had just repaired it. Sun Laobao recognized it at a glance that the recruit was his soldier.
"Little Maonong, what's wrong with you?" Sun Laobao asked the recruits in surprise.
Before the recruit could answer, the battalion commander sternly said: "Sun Laobao, you still have the face to ask, what kind of soldiers are you carrying?"
"What's wrong with my soldier?" Sun Laobao said angrily, "Zhao Liguo, if you don't understand the matter today, I will never finish it with you."
Sun Laobao was so angry that he stopped calling Ying Zuo, but called him the name directly.
Battalion Commander Zhao kicked the recruit and shouted sternly: "Tell me quickly, what good things have you done?"
