Chapter 357: Food Crisis

Meat is naturally available, but it is generally mixed with rice and eaten burned, as for wanting to eat a bowl of pure braised pork, it is basically impossible to drop.

Uncle Song and Xiao Wen on the side also showed helpless expressions on their faces, which made the little fat man secretly think of something in his heart.

"Tell me, when did the food in the troops become so bad?"

Li Feng believed that if it was these black buns that were brought to him, then what was brought to ordinary soldiers would definitely not be much better than this, or even worse.

Uncle Song lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and then sighed and said with emotion:

"Company commander, in fact, this is the thing......

When you left before, there was still enough food in the army, even if it was eaten for half a year, there was no problem, even if our army expanded a lot.

But you don't know what happened later, the devils launched an attack on us, and the commander of the third regiment, Wu, borrowed some food from us.

But later I learned that the third regiment was beaten by the devils and was caught off guard, resulting in more than half of the casualties of the troops, not to mention, and finally forced to withdraw from the station.

Originally, their territory was due east of us, but now without their support, we can't withstand the attack of the devils.

Therefore, at this time, the division headquarters sent us an independent battalion to temporarily block our east side to buy time for the third regiment to recover and recover. ”

Hearing this, the little fat man showed a shocked expression on his face, and then asked weakly:

"Sending such an independent battalion over, didn't the brigade commander make any requests?"

After asking the question, he found that Uncle Song's face was full of bitterness, and Xiao Wen on the side also shook his head.

"Company commander, you are really smart, you actually know that the brigade commander will make demands on us."

"Alright, I should know what the brigade commander is asking for. He's supposed to make us afford to feed that independent battalion, right? ”

No wonder there is not enough food to eat, and it feels like they have to support not only themselves, but also others.

"That's the thing, we have to pay for part of the food and ammunition of the independent battalion, and even send some of the grenades and other things from the ice factory."

Uncle Song's face was full of helplessness, how could this be the same as asking someone to do something, if you don't have some blood, you can't do it!

The little fat man's face was very calm, how could he do it if he wanted people to do things without paying some money? This is also a normal thing.

"Okay, I probably know about this, you tell me, what is the biggest problem in our army now?"

Grabbed a black steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it after dividing it by two, although the taste was not good, but it still had a little salty taste, it was better than nothing.

As soon as Uncle Song heard that the matter was on the topic, he quickly took out a notebook from his body, which recorded the difficulties they had encountered recently.

It's a very boring thing to listen to other people's reports, it's not polite to interrupt others, it's not very good to interrupt others, and it's not very painful in my heart, so what's so uncomfortable!

This report is the time of the hour, and the things in the basin are eaten cleanly, and finally, the little fat man pouted, looked at the second fat who was gnawing on the bamboo, and then said:

"That means our biggest problem right now is food, right?"

"Yes, we don't have enough food to eat now, and although the grain has already begun to be harvested, we are not the only ones who need it.

First of all, the first one is the devil, they sent people to the countryside to collect grain three days ago, and now it is estimated that they have received a lot of food.

The second is the nearby Jin Sui Army, this group of pickpockets, eager to suck a tube of blood from the common people.

As for the Central Army, which is slightly better, our side is not Henan, which has suffered a major drought this year, not to mention the lack of grain harvest, and the most important thing is that the government still has to levy grain.

The Central Army here directly received the grain from Xi'an, and did not exert too much pressure from the people nearby.

In the end, it will be our turn to have food, company commander, look at it, what kind of food is there on our heads.

Even the rations for the lives of the common people have been deducted by others, and we can't buy them even if we have money. ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Song had a distressed look on his face, in fact, he also sympathized with those ordinary people, the three mountains pressed on his body were not talking, but really heavy.

Li Feng felt that things were getting more and more troublesome, because this year's grain harvest was not very good, coupled with the perennial war, there was a serious shortage of labor in the rural areas, and the grain harvest was even worse.

Even so, instead of decreasing, the demand for food has increased.

"How long can our troops' food last?"

This is a very urgent issue, the little fat man must know his strength, otherwise he will not be able to live the next days.

Song Yi thought about it carefully, then sighed and said:

"It can last for a month at most, and even if this is the case, the soldiers have to eat this black bun every day, and the meat on the farm can't be killed anymore, otherwise they won't be able to survive this winter."

Now the farm is particularly miserable, only a few pigs and lambs, chickens and ducks can only be regarded as small things the size of a fist, and it is estimated that killing is not enough to eat.

The adult pigs were almost all killed, otherwise the food of the troops would not be so bad.

"I really didn't expect that I would be so poor that I couldn't even eat!"

Not being able to eat is a problem, and Li Feng feels that if he continues like this, he believes that he will soon be as thin as a monkey.

"I'll bring some money back, let's buy some food from the people nearby first, I can't eat like this anymore, otherwise where will the fighters get their combat effectiveness!"

The black buns made by eating this kind of snow cabbage and rice noodles can only fill the stomach at most, and a lot of unconventional training cannot be carried out, otherwise the human body will not be able to stand it.

"But company commander, where do we buy food? In these years, the grain on the people's bodies has been tightly hidden, and they don't look down on the ocean at all. ”

The common people have been starving, and in recent years, people have often starved to death, compared to the cold ocean, many people still feel that the food is more reliable.

The little fat man looked at Uncle Song, and then shouted to a platoon commander next to him:

"You go to the landlords to buy grain, I believe they should have a lot of grain, and if they don't give it, you can show them how you can marksmanship.

In addition, these landlords must still have colluded with the devils, and if they resist stubbornly, they will simply be arrested. ”

Normal landlords can't get rid of their old wealth, but they have colluded with devils, and even secretly become traitors, if they don't kill them, will they keep their cubs?

The platoon commander showed a strange expression on his face, looked at Song Yi on the side, and didn't know what to do.
