Chapter 21: Fragrant wolf broth
The first thing Hu Fei saw was Zheng Runcheng's face, although he knew that what he was doing was a little inappropriate, but the Einsatzgruppen fought to the death outside all night, killing the wolves and solving the enemy in front of the volunteers! You, Zheng Yuncheng, as the supreme commander of the Volunteer Army, should always have a verbal praise, right?
What do you mean by having a straight face? Do you mean you're not happy that we people will come back alive? Hu Fei was still a little embarrassed in his heart, but when he saw Zheng Runcheng's face, the little embarrassment in his heart completely disappeared!
Next, even if Zheng Runcheng wanted to come over and teach Hu Fei a lesson, he couldn't do it, and Hu Fei, who jumped off the horse, was immediately surrounded by a group of overly enthusiastic generals!
asked Hu Fei to talk about the Einsatzgruppen bravely fighting the wolves; Some asked how many wolves they had brought back; Others panicked to help Hu Fei lead the horse; There are those who pull Hu Fei and let him go to the tent. The scene was chaotic, Zheng Runcheng felt as if his command account had changed owners, no matter what he said, someone agreed, but no one did it.
Everyone's attention was on Hu Fei, and they were all attracted by the hundreds of dead wolves that Hu Fei brought back!
After a night of fighting, Hu Fei was exhausted and could barely cope with the overly enthusiastic generals, and Hu Fei simply divided the dead wolf he brought back on the spot! Isn't it just for these wolf meat that these people are so enthusiastic, if you don't give them for a while, they will keep pestering you! Divide the things, everyone disperses, Hu Fei should hurry up and go back to rest!
For Hu Fei's righteous and thin cloud action, the generals are naturally full of praise! This wolf meat is not something that can be eaten right now, you have to bring it back, peel it and cut it into pieces, add seasoning, and put it on the fire and cook it for a while before it is cooked. It's almost dawn now, and if you start quickly, you can drink a bowl of fragrant wolf broth for breakfast today!
The generals present received different amounts of wolf meat according to the number of troops and went back to stew soup, and Hu Fei of course also left one for Zheng Runcheng. Even if Brigade Commander Zheng didn't say a good word with a straight face, thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Second Brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would still have to eat! One Zheng Runcheng can't represent so many people!
After distributing all the wolf meat he had brought back, Hu Fei took the soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen back to his camp to catch up on sleep. As for their breakfast, they were naturally greeted by the chefs of the troops. There is still a little bit of flour left over in Russia, and now there are a dozen more wolf meats, and if these sub-cooks can't make a delicious breakfast, they should also go to be porters!
I don't know how long I slept, Hu Fei was woken up by a burst of strange incense. When I opened my eyes, I saw a large bowl of ru-white broth and two golden baked dough cakes on the marching table. This fragrance caused Hu Fei to swallow his saliva involuntarily, hurriedly went to wash his face and rinse his mouth, ran back and took a sip of the soup bowl, fragrant, really fragrant!
Eating large pieces of wolf meat, drinking fragrant milky white wolf broth, and then eating crispy dough, Hu Fei had a feeling that life is so wanted.
This morning, the smell of stewed meat wafted over the entire volunteer camp. Fortunately, now that the Soviet troops have withdrawn, if they can smell it, I don't know if those guys with big noses and green eyes will run over and ask for a bowl of soup with a shy face.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that the rich breakfast was over. The soldiers and civilians who ate a nutritious breakfast were all rosy and full of energy, compared with yesterday's listlessness, it was like a different person!
Although Zheng Runcheng was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't stand the stares of a large group of people around him, such as guards, orderlies, clerks, and staff officers. If he doesn't eat it, dozens of people won't be able to eat it! In desperation, Commander-in-Chief Zheng had no choice but to take a sip of wolf broth.
Originally, he thought that he would be nauseous and vomiting after drinking this thing, but he didn't expect that the chef with meat on hand would greatly improve his skills! A bowl of broth is fragrant, moderately salty, and the rotten meat soup is thick, Zheng Runcheng didn't hold it, and actually ate a big bowl of wolf broth with soup and meat at the bottom of the bowl!
As soon as he ate here, the officers and soldiers of the command headquarters cheered and rushed to their respective rice bowls! In an instant, all kinds of chewing, clattering, and snoring soup resounded in every corner of the headquarters.
Fortunately, Commander-in-Chief Zheng is now concentrating on his bowl of soup and has no time to pay attention to his surroundings. If you want to put aside the usual, the indecent appearance of the officers and soldiers of the command will definitely be ruthlessly criticized by Chief Zheng!
Hu Fei's food bribes did not save him from a reprimand in the end. During the daytime march, Zheng Runcheng called Hu Fei over and muttered bitterly all morning. Although Hu Fei was determined to go in and out of his left ear, he was still dizzy and exhausted after all.
The wolf meat turmoil gradually subsided over time. There are too many volunteers, and the hundreds of wolves that Hu Fei hit are only enough to eat for four days, and they are gone before they even eat on the fifth day!
The wolves that had been wandering around the team day and night didn't know if they were wiped out by Hu Fei or scared away, anyway, they hadn't appeared on the way of the volunteers since that morning. It's not just the wolves, even the rats and foxes haven't found a single one!
After dinner that day, Zheng Runcheng called the senior generals of the Volunteer Army to a meeting, and Hu Fei, as the captain of the Einsatzgruppen, also attended the meeting this time.
There was only one item in the content of the military meeting, that is, the commander-in-chief, General Zheng Runcheng, announced: At the current pace of marching, the Chinese anti-Japanese volunteers will enter China's Xinjiang in three days, and we will be able to rest in China after three days!
It's time to return home! This news is so exciting! Some of the generals present hugged each other excitedly and cheered, some were so excited that they burst into tears, and some only knew how to grin with big mouths and smirk. Hu Fei is different among these people, when Zheng Runcheng announced the news, Hu Fei walked up to General Zheng and solemnly saluted!
After such a long military career, Hu Fei has learned to perform standard military salutes, and Zheng Runcheng is probably the first boss to enjoy his military salute. Hu Fei is paying tribute to Zheng Runcheng in this way. If it weren't for General Zheng's tireless day and night maintenance, this volunteer army would not have been able to get to where it is today! A lack of food alone was enough for the team to fall apart.
A team that has been without food for many days can always maintain the most basic appearance of a soldier, and keep advancing towards the national border despite hunger, Zheng Run's success is indispensable!
At this time, the scene was extremely chaotic, and no one else paid attention to what Hu Fei was doing. The only thing that noticed Hu Fei was probably Zheng Runcheng, the object of Hu Fei's salute. General Zheng returned the salute with a solemn face, which was a salute between soldiers and soldiers. Zheng Runcheng understood the meaning of Hu Fei's military salute, and he happily accepted Hu Fei's respect. To be able to come to this day, he deserves this military salute!
"Brothers, please be quiet, although we will be able to cross the border in three days, we still have nearly 200 kilometers to go to reach Tacheng, Xinjiang!"
