Chapter 229: Recruits' Nutrition (Three Watches)
It's time to eat! ”
"It's time to eat!"
Hearing the shouts of the food squad, these recruits in the recruit camp lit up their eyes when they heard it, and they ran out with the utensils.
After seeing tonight's food, these soldiers were even more excited, and they all wanted to take the food in front of them and eat it themselves.
If it's a good meal, it's not true.
The food standard set by the Nationalist Government for each soldier was: 1.5 catties of rice, 4 taels of canned meat, 2 taels of dried vegetables, 2 taels of pickles, 3 taels of salt, and 4 taels of soy sauce per person per day.
It seems to be quite rich, but in fact it is far inferior to the Japanese army, and this is the descendant of the Central Army to have this standard, and the normal standard of the 40th Division is slightly worse than this, but it is not much worse.
The food of the 120th Brigade is not bad, mainly because of Leng Jie's request, as for deducting military salaries and supplies, I'm sorry, Leng Jie will shoot people.
Leng Jie has been very strict with regard to military discipline, and has set up a special gendarmerie to be responsible for managing military discipline issues.
If an army is corrupt in discipline, it is difficult to become a strong army.
According to the standard set by Leng Jie, it is three meals a day: breakfast is a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns; Lunch is half a catty of white rice, two vegetarian dishes, a meat dish (1 tael standard) and a bowl of vegetarian soup; In the evening, it is 3 taels of white rice, a vegetarian dish and a bowl of broth.
Although the meat is guaranteed to be eaten every day, the portion is not very large, because the conditions do not allow it.
Of course, this is just the food standard of ordinary soldiers, and the officer's is different, but there are also strict standards, and Leng Jie is no exception, unless he solves it himself.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the two special service companies directly under the regiment and the special combat team directly under the brigade headquarters.
The soldiers of these three units had the same breakfast as ordinary soldiers, but they had meat for lunch and dinner, the standard of half a pound of canned meat every day, and sometimes fresh pork.
The reason why it is different is because Leng Jie wants to build these three forces as special forces.
All of this is certainly unrealistic, and the special service companies directly under the two regiments are only reserve units of the special combat teams directly under the brigade, and the standard of weapons is not much better than that of ordinary companies.
It's just that each squad has one more precision shooter, that is, a reserve member of the sniper, and the platoon is directly subordinate to 3 grenadiers.
The armament of the special service company directly under the regiment is similar to that of a squadron of the Japanese army, and the number of people is also about the same. However, the company is also equipped with two 82mm or 90mm mortars as support weapons, but is not equipped with heavy machine guns.
The special combat team directly under the brigade is different, it is more powerful, and it has four detachments under its jurisdiction, each of which is equivalent to an infantry platoon, with a number of about 50 people.
Each detachment has three squads, and each squad has a formal establishment of 15 people: a one-man grenadier team, a two-man light machine gun team, a two-person sniper team, and three three-person combat teams, plus the squad leader, a total of 15 people.
Each combat group has one submachine gun and two rifles, the soldiers of the machine gun group and the grenadier group are equipped with pistols, and the squad leader has one submachine gun and one pistol.
The entire squad has a total of 4 pistols, 4 submachine guns, and 6 rifles, and the sniper team will use professional sniper rifles when conditions permit.
The strength of the entire special operations team is in the early 200s.
Similarly, the special operations team will not be equipped with heavy machine guns, because that is a burden, and the task of the special operations team is not to attack the fortifications.
The food of the special operations team and the two special service companies naturally made the other soldiers very greedy, but it was all exchanged for the former's life.
Although the 120 Brigade is the Central Army, it is also somewhat difficult to maintain this standard of food, and it is undoubtedly necessary to open source.
Where to drive? You can't rob your own people, right?
Although many vegetables are grown by the 120th Brigade itself, meat and other materials are not good, so they can only rob them, and they are also to rob the Japanese or puppet soldiers, as well as those traitors.
"I have meat today, and it's such a big piece, I want to eat more."
"Ge Laozi, there is actually meat, don't rob me!"
"Leave me some taro and roast pork."
。。。
"Squeeze what? All lined up and came one by one. ”
Leng Jie didn't go to the big pot of rice, but everyone had a standard, and he took the bowl and ate it at the same time.
There are two meat dishes today, which are taro roast pork and tamale.
Taro roast pork is three or four taro and one piece of meat per person, and tamales are two pieces per person.
Don't look at the portions, it's not much, but it makes these recruits excited, because these are all familiar hometown dishes.
Most of these recruits are from Sichuan, and those from Jiangxi can also accept these dishes, and they are naturally a little excited to see these familiar dishes.
"Give me a copy!"
Leng Jie took a bowl and came to the cooking class, planning to taste the recruits' meals as well.
"Brigadier Commander!"
Seeing that it was Leng Jie, the people in the cooking class hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Just put it down, just give me a copy according to the unified standard." Leng Jie said with a smile.
"Brigadier Commander, how can this work? You are the brigade commander ... ”
"Obey orders!" Leng Jie said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
Leng Jie made a meal, and Chen Wei and the others who accompanied him also made a meal, but they hadn't eaten it anyway, and often the recruits' meals didn't matter.
Although it is not realistic to eat with ordinary soldiers, eating every once in a while can also enhance the relationship, and it may be a bit of a show, but the effect is definitely good.
And ordinary soldiers can eat it, why can't the officers eat it?
Leng Jie's request was that the officers of the battalion, company and platoon should have the same standard of breakfast and dinner as ordinary soldiers except for lunch, and they must eat together.
Violators will be demoted, Leng Jie wants to use iron-blooded means to rectify the Central Army and some bad habits that are common in the Chinese army at this time.
"The reaction of these recruits is a little strange, isn't it exciting to be so excited about such a meal? It's like I haven't seen any meat. ”
While eating, Chen Wei looked at the reactions of the recruits in front of him, and was a little puzzled.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Chen, you may not know that these recruits are miserable on the way here. It is said that a quarter of the recruits starved to death on the road. Zhang Tao next to him explained.
"Wouldn't it? What are the men doing at the station? Even if you don't eat well, you won't starve to death. Chen Wei didn't understand.
"Chief Chen, the recruits are on the way, and they eat very little rations, and many of them can't hold on." A new soldier from the brigade headquarters explained.
This soldier is a new recruit from last month, and he naturally knows these things.
"What are those people in the rear doing? Isn't this nonsense? Chen Wei was a little angry.
"Surprise at the front, eat tight at the rear." Leng Jie shook his head, such a thing is widespread, a large number of strong men in history died on the road like this, although the soldiers on the front line fought bloodily, but those moths in the rear were also sucking the blood of these soldiers at the same time.
Although Leng Jie knew, he couldn't change it, because the entire national army was like this, and the lineage of the central army was not much better.
Chen Wei also realized it, his mood was a little heavy, looking at those gobbling up recruits, he couldn't help asking, "Brigade commander, these recruits have such a poor physique, how much food do they need to recover, just with what we have in the hands of one brigade, we can't hold it, and it is impossible for the brigade commander to pay for subsidies." ”
"This is naturally not a long-term solution, so we have to open source." Leng Jie asked Wang Guangming next to him, "Guangming, has there been any movement in the Japanese army recently?" ”
"Yes, the military commander said that there would be a convoy going to Yangxin on the Jiujiang side, as if it was to deliver supplies to the Japanese army in Yangxin." Wang Guangming said.
For some reasons, Leng Jie's relationship with the military commander is not bad, and through some interest exchanges, he obtains some information from the military commander.
Compared with his own reconnaissance, obtaining intelligence from the military commander's side is undoubtedly the most convenient and effective.
"The Japanese supply convoy?" Leng Jie smiled, "How big is it?" ”
"I don't know, the military commander didn't say anything." Wang Guangming replied.
"Let's go and find out the situation in Ruichang County, if it's true, then find a way to intercept this Japanese supply convoy, just to replenish the nutrition of our soldiers." Leng Jie said with a smile.
