The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

The mountains and forests are covered with thick snow, and the snow is as deep as a calf when you step on it, which adds a lot of difficulty to the soldiers of the Santai detachment, who are almost out of ammunition and food, and rely on mobilizing all the soldiers to dig pits and forage all over the mountains......

Maybe the animals in the mountains never imagined that humans would become so terrifying when they were hungry!

With the station of the Santai detachment in the mountains as the center of the circle, a radius of seven or eight miles, not to mention rabbits, wild boars, pheasants or something, even the mice that can be found have been eaten up by the Santai detachment!

Not only that, but the grass roots that can be eaten in the field, and all kinds of bark that can be eaten a little bit, the soldiers of the Santai detachment did not let go!

The bodies of many of the fighters changed from their previous skinny appearance, and they swelled visibly to the naked eye......

It's not fat, it's because of a severe lack of nutrients, and eating too much bark from all kinds of grass roots and trees in the stomach, and the fundamental reason why these things are not in the usual human diet is that they are somewhat toxin......

It's okay to eat less, but if you live on this for a long time, then the problem is serious!

The accumulation of toxins, as well as the severe lack of nutrients, left almost everyone with a puffy body and a blue face......

Looking at the soldiers who couldn't stop shaking when they walked, and their bodies were round, Yang Ming endured the feeling of collapse from the weakness of his stomach, and said to the instructor Lao Qin: "We must find a way, otherwise, we are afraid that we will not be able to survive this winter......

"What can I do?"

Lao Qin smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that a while ago, he and others went down the mountain and begged grandpa to tell grandma, how much could he buy some food at a high price......

But now, even if the villagers at the foot of the mountain are willing to risk being sold food to the detachment by the devils, they have no extra food in their own hands......

All the food is almost in the hands of the little devils and traitors!

If you want to solve the problem of food, you can only go to the trouble of devils and traitors!

But the crux of the matter is that although the detachment now has five hundred people, on average, one person is less than a single bullet, and all the grenades add up to less than fifty......

Not to mention, now all the staff are up and down, and the grass roots and bark are fluttering when they walk, and most people can't even lift their guns!

In this case, go to the trouble of the little devil, that is, send to death!

"Even if it's sent to death, it's much better than starving to death with the big guys!"

Yang Ming gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Pick some among the soldiers who are in a slightly better situation, concentrate all the ammunition, and go to the Qianlouzhuang stronghold at night......"

Lao Qin grinned, and said in his heart that the Qianlouzhuang stronghold, although it did seem to be the weakest stronghold on the periphery of the detachment, there was also a team of more than 70 devils plus nearly a hundred puppet troops, and two machine guns......

The team passed, and it was no different from sending it to death!

But in the end, he didn't say these words, after all, just like Yang Ming said, if you continue to work like this, and if you live for another ten days and eight days, you really can't send it to death......

can only take advantage of the fact that everyone still has a little strength now, and break the net......

If you don't succeed, you become a benevolent.

"Captain, Captain......"

At this moment, there was an excited shout, but it was the cook Lao Cui and several soldiers who ran over with a roll.

"Captain, look at what this is!"

Lao Cui and a few soldiers said excitedly while holding a bunch of things.

"Wooden chestnuts?"

They were all from the countryside, and they had climbed over snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and Yang Ming and Lao Qin, who had experienced extremely difficult situations, immediately recognized the things in Lao Cui's hands, and were excited: "I didn't think that there was such a thing here?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Lao Cui said excitedly: "I didn't expect that there would be this thing here!" ”

"That's great—God has helped me with three detachments!"

Yang Ming was excited, and immediately took all the horses and horses with Lao Qin to the place where Lao Cui and the others found the wooden chestnut, and prepared to clean up the wooden chestnut......

Wooden chestnuts, not chestnuts.

This is a fruit that grows on oak trees, and its scientific name is acorn, acorn.

Under normal circumstances, it is small animals such as squirrels that feed on it, and humans will never eat this thing under normal circumstances, or in other words, most people don't know that this thing can be eaten!

This thing is more bitter than Chinese medicine when bitten, and it is also poisonous!

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Ming, Lao Cui and Lao Qin were all old soldiers who climbed the snowy mountains and crossed the grassland, in the southwest region, when food was the most scarce, they had eaten food made of this wooden chestnut in the villager's house, I am afraid that they would not know that this thing could be eaten!

Wood chestnuts contain a lot of starch and toxins, mainly tannic acid.

As long as the tannic acid component is removed, this thing can be eaten, and it is relatively nutritious - of course, this is more nutritious, naturally compared to grass root bark!

Five hundred men went out together, and soon gathered a lot of wooden chestnuts and piled them up into a hill in the camp.

"Remove the shell first, like this!"

Lao Cui arranged to do a demonstration to let people remove the layer of wooden hard shell on the outer layer of the wooden chestnut, revealing the flesh in it.

Then someone gathered the pulp, smashed it with a mallet that is usually used to process grass roots and bark, then added water, soaked, precipitated, filtered, repeated several times, and then compacted, and then obtained pieces of tofu-like things......

"Wood chestnut tofu, eating this thing is much better than eating grass roots and bark to fight hunger!"

Old Cui laughed, and said while stewing this thing: "There are many more in the mountains, we have to gather them all, let's save it, at least we can eat it for several days......"

Yang Ming Lao Qin also laughed, pretending not to know that eating this thing is indeed anti-hunger, but if you eat too much, it will be easy to pull it out, and the effect is the same as eating Guanyin soil......

If you don't pick it out, I'm afraid you can kill people alive!

Of course, they don't talk about more factors, because they know that eating this thing is also an expedient measure for the detachment - the stronghold of the front gate building must be hit!

Eating this thing can somewhat alleviate the weakness of the soldiers, and when attacking the stronghold of the front gatehouse, you can accumulate a little more physical strength!

The lid of the pot was opened, and bowls of wooden chestnut tofu were served.

For many days, the bowls of the first warriors were so rich that not only were they not grassroots, but they were also dry......

As for the taste......

At this time, who cares about the taste!

That's why Lao Cui, the cook, muttered while eating, if you can put some salt in it, it should taste much better......
