"I'll go, this is the C rations that the U.S. military was equipped with during World War II. When I was in military school before, I only learned about it in books, but now it's the first time I've seen it. Now, the Third Company of our Volunteer Army not only solved the problem of food shortage, but also increased my knowledge. ”

Sun Lei, who squatted down, saw the wooden box on the snow in front of him with the English words "C-ration" written on it, and suddenly made him secretly rejoice, and under the excitement, he muttered something in his mouth.

Sun Lei felt that he should open the wooden box in front of him to find out what it was in, and see if it contained C rations that the U.S. military used during World War II.

said that it was too late and that was fast, and without saying a word, Sun Lei used the 38 large cover rifle with the bayonet in his hand in his hand, and divided it by two with three strikes and five to pry it open easily.

took the lid of the wooden box aside, Sun Lei squatted down again, lowered his head, and looked at it, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it.

This wooden box contains the U.S. Army's World War II-era ration - C rations, which contain three-person C ration packages, which contain biscuits, luncheon meat, beans, dehydrated vegetables, fruit hard candy, coffee powder, juice, chewing gum, and cigarettes, matches, sewing kits and razor blades!

At this time, although Sun Lei was very excited, he did not show any action of ecstasy. On the contrary, he behaved very calmly at this time, as if nothing had happened just now, and pressed the removed lid back on the wooden box without being noticed.

Because the volunteer soldiers of the three companies and one platoon who came to clean the battlefield with him, from the platoon commander Liu Sanshun to the ordinary volunteer soldiers, almost did not pay attention to the dozen or so wooden boxes near Sun Lei, but only cared about picking up the weapons and equipment, guns and ammunition scattered all over the place.

Because in the eyes of these people, what the third company of their volunteer army lacks most now is weapons and ammunition, and while these South Korean troops have retreated, they must collect these discarded weapons and ammunition in the shortest possible time.

Anyway, every soldier of the third company of their volunteer army still has three days of rations left, although they are all fried noodles, in the case of no smoke during the day and no fire at night, they can only eat a mouthful of fried noodles with a mouthful of snow, and they can fill their stomachs.

However, if the guns and ammunition are exhausted, even if they are given a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, it will be difficult for them to swallow. In this rapidly changing Korean battlefield, the most practical thing is to have sufficient weapons, equipment, guns and ammunition.

Of course, the main reason why the volunteer soldiers of the three companies and one platoon other than Sun Lei, who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, turned a blind eye to the dozen or so wooden boxes placed on the snow around Sun Lei was because they couldn't read the English written on the outside of these wooden boxes, so they naturally rushed to the weapons, equipment, guns and ammunition scattered around the snow.

And the reason why Sun Lei chose to temporarily hide the fact that he found the US Army's C rations from the soldiers of the three companies and one platoon who cleaned the battlefield with him was because he considered that once he made this matter public, he was afraid that he would be scrambling by the soldiers, which was not the scene he wanted to see, so he chose to keep it a secret.

What made Sun Lei feel even more pleasantly surprised was that after he found that the wooden box in front of him contained the C rations of the U.S. Army for three people, he also found five wooden boxes next to him, and the English packaging was also "C-ration".

Needless to say, the five wooden boxes he found must still contain three U.S. Army C rations, and this major discovery is really of no less significance than Columbus's discovery of the New World for the three companies of the Volunteer Army, who are hungry and cold in the depths and lack of food and clothing.

In addition, the packaging on the outside of the other eight wooden boxes read "Repudlic of Korea" in English, which suddenly shocked Sun Lei.

This English phrase, when he used to be a soldier in the special forces and went to the military academy for further study, he once saw it in books, it is a kind of "ROK ration" made by the US military according to the standard of "K rations", which is specially equipped for the South Korean army, which was called the "South Korean puppet army" at that time.

According to what Sun Lei once learned about the "ROK Army Rations" ("Republic of Korea") in books, it can be known that each "ROK Army Rations" contains 1.75 pounds of rice, 0.6 pounds of canned sardines, 1/3 packet of biscuits, salt and chili, and a 500 won bill in a waterproof bag.

It is worth mentioning that the 500 won was equivalent to about 1/12 of the US dollar at the exchange rate at the time, and was used to purchase non-staple food in the combat area - of course, what exactly could be bought is not in the scope of our consideration.

In order to transport the fourteen wooden boxes to the south high ground guarded by the third company of their volunteer army as soon as possible, Sun Lei still kept it a secret, so as not to be preempted by the soldiers of other battalions and companies in the regiment.

At this time, Sun Lei, who was enthusiastic, didn't care about asking for instructions from the squad leader Niu Tiezhu and platoon leader Liu Sanshui, so he divided the fourteen wooden boxes that were not very big into two rows next to each other and stacked them up.

After stacking it, Sun Lei didn't say a word, he didn't even say hello, he put his 38 big cover rifle with a bayonet behind his back, and held the two rows of fourteen wooden boxes stacked up on his chest with both hands, and ran wildly on the snow as if flying.

That is, in one minute, Sun Lei was alone, and he took the fourteen wooden boxes intact to the high ground on the south side.

The soldiers of the three companies and one platoon who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, at first, when they saw Sun Lei running back desperately with fourteen wooden boxes alone, they all felt a little inexplicable about this, and felt that this Sun Lei was not good at picking up guns and ammunition scattered around the snow with them, but holding two large stacks of wooden boxes, what kind of fame was he doing.

Looking at Sun Lei's back as he walked away, the soldiers of the three companies and one platoon who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield on the snow only paused for a few seconds and looked up at Sun Lei's back twice, and they continued to pick up guns and ammunition around themselves after shaking their heads.

Not to mention the soldiers of the third company and one platoon who cleaned the battlefield with Sun Lei, they all expressed puzzlement after seeing his abnormal behavior, that is, Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company, and Wang Wenju, the instructor, appeared in front of the two of them with two stacks of wooden boxes on their chests, and they also had puzzled expressions on their cheeks.
