At the beginning of World War II, the food of the little devils was still quite good, eating polished rice, all kinds of canned meat, dried meat, dried plum vegetables, etc., and the combination of meat and vegetables focused on balanced nutrition.

However, in the later stages of the war, all kinds of supplies were scarce, and the standard of food was greatly reduced, especially on an island like Luzon, which was inconvenient to transport.

The soldiers' staple food consisted of compressed dry food and brown rice balls.

Although it has many advantages of easy preservation, convenient eating, no need to cook again, and high starch content, the biggest advantage is that it is easy to transport, especially suitable for places like Luzon where the supply line is relatively long.

But the fatal disadvantage is that there is no taste at all, and it must be seasoned with various flavorful non-staple foods and sweets before eating, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow even if you pinch your nose and swallow it, and it will be worse than bran. Therefore, in the case of extremely tight supplies, the island army also gritted its teeth and allocated canned beef to the soldiers.

One can is at least three days' rations, so even if it is not a real thing, canned beef becomes the lifeblood of every soldier.

The life-saving can is lost, who can't go crazy?

The little devil who lost the canned food jumped up and down and rummaged through the backpacks of the people around him, but naturally he couldn't find it, and the whole person was about to collapse.

But from beginning to end, the little devil did not suspect these people, who ate the bear-hearted leopard dared to steal the locust army's things?

Everything can only be that there is a villain in them, it can be seen that this kind of thing is also relatively common in the troops of the island army, and the little devil can only stop after tossing, sitting on the side with his head down, taking a sip of water and compressing dry food with a bitter face and frowning and swallowing, the feeling is simply more painful than eating poison.

Seeing this scene, Xiaodao and Xu Yun were happy in their hearts, but they could only hold back desperately and not let the laughter come out.

At this moment, although the future and fate are a black hole that cannot see the light, Xu Yun's heart is happy and happy, and she is not even worried and panicked, because the knife is by her side.

After eating and drinking, the little devil began to urge the people to go on the road, and the convoy marched north along both sides of the road, stretching for several miles, and there was no end in sight.

After going down the mountain, the temperature began to rise continuously, and the sun in the morning was already very hot, and I had to be panting and sweating when I walked without bearing weight, not to mention these people who pushed carts and pulled carts.

From time to time, there are little devils' transport vehicles and motorcycles driving by on the road, sometimes dozens of them in succession, in order not to startle the beasts, but in this case, mule-horse carts and ox carts have to stop and give way, and the speed that was not fast is even slower.

Regardless of these objective reasons, the little devil unceremoniously greeted the people with whips, branches, and *, urging them to speed up.

After walking for less than an hour, the knife had already been beaten three times, and it was a long road, and I didn't know where the end was.

……

It was night, Vientiane, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.

The brightly lit headquarters was full of jubilation, and Jiang Haoran, Huang Jie, Leng Rushuang and other staff officers and generals had happy smiles on their faces.

Just now, Tang Enbo sent a good news, the Western Expeditionary Army won an unprecedented victory, conquered the enemy's Kuhak defense line, captured more than 100,000 enemy troops, and captured countless people.

This is indeed great news, but when the news came, no one believed that it was true, and even Jiang Haoran felt incredible.

The Western Expeditionary Army has just launched a full-scale offensive today, and it has only been less than 12 hours since it achieved such brilliant results, which is really unbelievable to say.

It wasn't until the subsequent war briefing came that everyone suddenly realized.

It all started with the White Tiger's feint attack on the Afghan border last night, and although it did not cause any substantial damage to the enemy, the sheer size of several hundred tanks did shock the enemy on the defensive line.

Therefore, the German army urgently transferred reinforcements, and the only armored division on the Kuhak line was transferred to Afghanistan overnight.

When they arrived in Afghanistan without stopping, carrier-based aircraft and long-range bombers of the national navy began to carpet bomb the Kuhak defense line, and then the national tank group suddenly appeared on the Kuhak defense line at about 10 o'clock in the morning.

Hundreds of tanks roared forward on the ground, the barrels of the guns stood in the forest, the helicopters in mid-air were like black birds, and there were heavy bombers in the rear, and the enemy on the defensive line was immediately frightened.

Before the tank cluster drove to the front, the enemy's defense line was already lined with white flags, and then a jeep with a white flag drove to the front, and a colonel officer brought the commander of the Italian Fifth Army, Rudolph. Graziani Italo. The instrument of surrender of General Ferroletto.

As soon as Bai Hu heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately met with the colonel of the Italian army in person, and he really didn't believe that there was a good thing that he could accept surrender before the battle began.

When I asked, the result was really there.

The Italian colonel informed them that their only armored division had been transferred to the northern front, and that an important bridge over the logistics route had been blown up by the national army, and that there was no hope of retreating, and that the battle could not be fought at all, so their commander decided to surrender, hoping only that the national commander would abide by the Geneva Convention, promise to treat the prisoners well, and the Fifth Army would be disarmed and surrendered.

Bai Hu was really overjoyed, and immediately stated the policy of the national army, as long as it did not harm the Chinese, the national army has always treated prisoners well, and the recent Soviet puppet Eastern Crusade Army is a good example; after they disarmed, not only did they live and eat well one by one, but the national army also paid them travel expenses to return to China.

In this way, an hour later, dozens of tanks of the national army opened the road, and in the rear were two motorized divisions, which entered the city to accept the surrender.

The Italian troops in the city had already set up their weapons and were inspected by the Chinese army after being empty, until the entire surrender was completed in the evening, and the troops of the two divisions could not build a concentration camp capable of holding more than 100,000 people in a short time.

The entire history of World War II is full of many reasons for the surrender of the Italian army, such as the surrender of the crowbar without prying open the ammunition box, the surrender without pasta, the persuasion of 5,000 people by a Mi army pilot, etc., and the battle in front of me may be regarded as a strange among the wonderful.

Countless scholars in later generations believed that the defeat of the Germans was largely due to the fact that Italy dragged them back, and it was precisely because of their low combat effectiveness and the performance of various pit teammates that accelerated the demise of the fascist regime.

Even because of the strangeness of the Italian army, there is an extra proverb for Westerners - the Italians on our side, which means to satirize the Italian army for not being successful enough and more than defeating, which can also be seen mottled.
