Chapter 19 The people live on food

Where forest fires. It burns for too long, and it is always accompanied by a heavy rain. Liu Qing thought about it for the past two days, and suddenly figured out why he encountered this incident.

I think it was because these two people were not lost, they saved the time to find the two people, and came to the fire early. And then I encountered this matter as a matter of course. And the eleven mountains that originally needed to be climbed have become seven because of this incident.

Although the last two were almost in danger on the fire, they were saved by Liu Qing, who was alert in advance. Even fires that would have been going to spread were detected and extinguished in advance.

Two days in the car, then two days on the march in the primeval forest, and now another two days on the fire. Each person is responsible for the fire of about 5 meters or so. Basically, the food they were carrying had been depleted.

The whole squadron was split into a long line of defense, which was guarded around the fire field, and the supplies brought by the communicator to the captain and instructor were taken out by the instructor early to divide it for everyone.

Now only the suction and compressed biscuits at the bottom of Liu Qing's pressing box are left, as well as the mustard and instant noodle seasoning packets in his pockets.

Liu Qing knew that there would be a helicopter drop tomorrow, so he didn't want to wait any longer. Everyone hasn't eaten two meals, and it's usually fine, but in the deep mountains, if there is a decrease in resistance due to lack of food and some disease, then Liu Qing will definitely not forgive himself.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still raining, Liu Qing took out the four packets of compressed biscuits that were placed in the sandwich in the backpack. This is what he put in the mezzanine in advance, and this thing is a treasure. Each pack of compressed biscuits has fourteen pieces. Each person can probably get about half a piece. There is no way there is so much for things, even if you eat half a compressed biscuit and drink some water, you can replenish some of your body's energy.

Compressed biscuits have the characteristics of not absorbing water and becoming soft. Because it is sterilized and detoxified by high temperature and high pressure during puffing, it is suitable for long-term storage and transportation, and it is hygienic and convenient to pack in plastic bags, which is very suitable for military use. At the same time, its texture is tight, and it is easier to feel full after eating.

Compared with instant noodles, compressed biscuits are nutritionally balanced and can be eaten in a special environment.

Eating the second half of the compressed biscuit, too long to dare to say, it should be absolutely no problem to carry it until tomorrow.

Liu Qing put down two compressed biscuits and the only bag of mustard for the captain and instructor.

The captain looked at Liu Qing and teased: "You kid has private goods, and he hides them quite deeply." Okay, give you a credit for the kid, and I'll treat you to something delicious when I go back!"

Liu Qing smiled: "I put it in the backpack compartment, I forgot it when I was busy, and I found it when I touched it when I slept at night." It just so happened that I saw that everyone had nothing to eat, so I simply took it out and shared it, they were all brothers together, and they were blessed and enjoyed together. ”

After thinking about it, Liu Qing took out two more bags of instant noodle sauce packets in his pocket and handed them to the captain.

"This is what I picked up on the ground that everyone threw before, and I thought, maybe it will be useful. I didn't think I could really use it, so it's too dry to just eat that thing, so you can eat this. ”

The captain was not polite, and after taking the sauce packet, he said, "Do you kid have any private goods to bring me some more." ”

Liu Qing hurriedly covered his pocket, shook his head and retreated: "It's gone, it's really gone." ”

The captain looked at him and said, "Look at your slamming appearance, I can't rob you, get out..."

"A few bags of broken seasoning, you still think of it as a baby. As he spoke, the captain tore open the spice bag and ate it in one bite, and put the other bag in his pocket, as if he didn't want to give it to the instructor.

Liu Qing returned to the vicinity of his camp, called the person who triggered the trigger, and divided half a biscuit with a pack of spices per person.

There was no water, so we had to go to a nearby spring to fill it.

Because they had to clean up the dark fire around the fire, the amount of water was still relatively large, and Yang Dachao and Liu Qing could only take turns to fetch water.

The salted fish in the backpack had already stinked and let Liu Qing throw it away. It was better to know that it was better to let Ge Lingguang, the leader of the cooking squad, help eat it early.

After eating, about half an hour later, the sky began to rain thinly.

This made everyone's tense mood relax a lot, and if it was big enough, it could even go back early.

At night, everyone lay hungry in the tent. Half of the intense firefighting operation is over, and all that remains is to guard the fires and prevent them from recurring.

This has become the defense zone of their Mordoga brigade, and until there is a new mission order, they can only stand still and guard the fire.

The next morning, the rain did not fall as expected, and white smoke could be seen everywhere in the whole fire field, needless to say, there were dark fires that needed to be extinguished.

Liu Qing: They held a water gun and No. 2 tool and kept looking for a place to smoke on the fire ground. The squad leaders of several squads have been called by the captain and instructor to open up the landing ground.

To put it bluntly, it was to clear a place with a machete so that the helicopter could drop the supplies.

Near noon, four or five people from each squad were sent to the landing ground and waited for the helicopter to drop supplies.

Most of the people who went were veterans, and the non-commissioned officers and recruits stayed there to guard the fire. In a few moments, the roar of the helicopter's propellers could be heard. As you know, this is the supply sent down from above.

Liu Qing and the others were very lucky, they did not starve for too long, I heard that some troops had been hungry for two or three days because of insufficient preparation before the trip. He even began to pick up and eat cooked pine nuts in the forest.

Just kidding, I can't eat enough for two or three hours, and it takes half a day to pick out so much stuff that is not enough to stuff my teeth.

The pine nuts in the Great Xing'an Mountains are very small, unlike the pine nuts of the red pine in the Little Xing'an Mountains, at least a few can be eaten by a few buckles, and the largest pine nuts here are only as big as the nails of the little thumb.

Of course, the taste is really good, but in this environment, if you let him eat these delicious things, it is better to give a steamed bun.

Sure enough, after a while, these veterans began to beckon everyone to move things.

The army was given only a few types of provisions, including some self-heating rice sets, compressed biscuits, mustard and a lot of canned strawberries.

Self-heating rice and compressed biscuits are used to satisfy hunger, and mustard is used to replenish salt. And canned strawberries, I think this should be the favorite thing of all officers and soldiers.

Everyone was given a three-day ration and two cans of strawberries.
