"Damn, I can't live this day." Sun Laobao tilted his neck and drank the cold water in the kettle into his stomach, but how could this cold stream water be hungry? A pot of water fell into my stomach, but the hunger was even stronger.

People who have not been hungry are afraid that it is difficult to imagine the taste of hunger, that kind of taste, can really make people crazy, Sun Laobao will feel that he is about to go crazy, especially not far away, the men of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui are busy cooking, the bursts of rice, vegetables and meat fragrance float along the wind, straight into the nostrils, can't cover it.

"Company commander, I'm hungry." A rookie egg's eyes glowed green, staring straight ahead, swallowing.

"Company commander, I'm hungry too, I want to eat." The other recruit's eyes were also glowing green, and his Adam's apple was twitching.

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat." Sun Laobao became angry, and slapped each of the two recruits.

To put it mildly, the national army in the third theater is really not easy, the national government has not paid military salaries for more than two years, and occasionally there are several times to pay military salaries, or legal tender, in southern Anhui, western Zhejiang, the legal tender is not as good as the straw paper that wipes the buttocks, and the mountain people here only recognize the ocean, and do not accept legal tender at all, so the military salary is equivalent to not being paid.

There was no way, and the various armies, armies, and divisions of the Third Theater could only prepare their own supplies.

Unfortunately, the area of southern Anhui and Zhejiang was originally very poor, and the local people were busy all day long, and the food cut from the field could not even feed the whole family, so how could there be extra to supply the army? Therefore, the army can only use its hands to rob it, but even if it does, there will always be a time when the robbery will be finished, and in the spring of this year, the officers and men of the three theaters found that even if they rob, it will be difficult to grab food anymore.

There was no food to eat, so I had to dig up the bark and eat the grass roots, but at this time, I couldn't even eat the bark and grass roots.

The two recruits were beaten, but they didn't react like a piece of wood, and still said to Sun Laobao: "Company commander, hungry." ”

That's not all, as soon as these two recruits yelled, the brothers of the whole company were alarmed, and they all sat up from the ground one by one, looking at the other side with green eyes, Sun Laobao was a little worried, worried that something would happen.

People are hungry, then everything can be done, Sun Laobao is afraid that these stunned young people who are hungry will start to rob it, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the opposite side is not easy to provoke, robbing them of food, isn't that equivalent to Tai Sui's head breaking ground? Can there be good fruit to eat?

At that moment, Sun Laobao hurriedly found the battalion commander and said, "Camp, the brothers are so hungry that they can't do anything, can you get something to eat?" ”

"That's easy." The battalion commander glared at Sun Laobao coldly, and said angrily, "Get some food, where do you let me go?" ”

Sun Laobao looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "Yingzuo, I heard that before this time the troops were dispatched, the division gave rations to our regiment according to the head, and each person had five catties of food, but until now, I haven't seen this ration come down, are you looking for the regimental seat?" ”

"Find the group, find the group, you have to find yourself." The battalion commander's face immediately darkened, and he slapped Sun Laobao.

This battalion commander is also angry and has no place to vent, he actually just came back from the regiment headquarters, and he was scolded by the regiment commander because of the rations.

This time to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army, Gu Zhutong actually made a bloody investment, and almost emptied the only strategic reserves in the Third Theater, including giving a soldier 50 catties of rations and 50 catties of rations, although it is not much, but if you save some food, and add some wild vegetables or other porridge to drink, you can almost eat for nearly two months.

Unfortunately, however, once the opening of the barrage was torn open, the discipline of the troops disappeared in an instant.

Once discipline breaks down, all kinds of dirty things will come out, including eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood.

The 50 catties of rations per person allocated by the theater were stripped down by the commander-in-chief, army commanders, and division commanders of the group army step by step, and when they were distributed to each regiment, there was already only a little bit left.

Sun Laobao, their battalion has such a regiment leader.

"Yingzuo, how do you beat people when you are good?" Sun Laobao was slapped inexplicably and was also annoyed.

Speaking of which, Sun Laobao is also a veteran who participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, he has been a soldier for so many years, and has fought for so many years, except for being beaten by veterans when he first joined the army, and then only he beat others, where does anyone dare to beat him?

"What's wrong with beating you? Do you dare to stare at me? "This battalion commander was sent from the commander's department half a month ago, and he was originally a staff officer of the commander's department, and it is said that he graduated from the Central Military Academy, but he has never fought much.

"Damn, what's wrong with me glaring at you? Lao Tzu still beats you" Sun Laobao was furious and overturned the battalion commander.

But any veteran who has been on the battlefield and has seen blood and killed people will definitely not be good-tempered, but whenever something happens, they are more willing to speak with their fists than reasoning, Sun Laobao enlisted in the Republic of China for 20 years, and only got to the position of company commander with a knife and a gun, relying on his luck, but with his true ability, he was originally not convinced by this newly arrived battalion commander, and he would not care even more.

The battalion commander was caught off guard, and was overturned to the ground by Sun Laobao, and when he got up from the ground again, a white face had become a black face, and he immediately raised a pistol from the holster to kill Sun Laobao.

"Sun Laobao, you dare to beat the chief, do you still have military regulations in your eyes? You wait, you wait for me, I want you to look good" Although the battalion commander was stopped by several staff officers, he was so angry that he still jumped to his feet and scolded.

"I'll wait, I'll be here waiting for you to clean up, damn." Sun Laobao spat disdainfully, and said, "Isn't it just some bullshit Central Military Academy, when I was on the battlefield in Songhu, I taught the cadets of the corps to die in batches, Lao Tzu has seen a lot, and he has never even fought a battle, and he dares to fill garlic cloves in front of Lao Tzu, what are you." ”

The other company commander was so good at talking that he persuaded Sun Laobao to return to the station.

When he returned to the station, he saw more than 100 recruits in the company sitting there drooling at the other side, and Sun Laobao became more and more upset.

Compared with other company commanders, Sun Laobao is actually a competent commander, at least he has not deducted a little ration, let alone smuggled ammunition, in the entire sequence of the first army, Sun Laobao's company is definitely the most fully armed, regardless of the model, at least one rifle per soldier is still available, although the ammunition is not sufficient, twenty rounds of ammunition per person, four grenades are still available.

Unlike other companies, more than half of the recruits have wooden guns in their hands, and as for ammunition, five rounds of ammunition and two grenades per soldier is quite good.

All along, Sun Laobao strictly forbade the officers and men of the company to sell weapons and ammunition.

But now, Sun Laobao is starting to waver, or should he really sell some weapons and ammunition, at least to fill his stomach, right?

Just when Sun Laobao was thinking about whether to take some weapons and ammunition to secretly exchange some rations with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the other side, the battalion commander who had just been severely offended by him suddenly appeared with two guards, and the two guards were also holding a new soldier, the recruit had a blue nose and swollen face, and had obviously just been repaired by someone, but Sun Laobao recognized it at a glance that this recruit was his soldier.

"Little Maonon, what's wrong with you?" Sun Laobao asked the recruit suspiciously.

Without waiting for the recruit to answer, the battalion commander said sharply: "Sun Laobao, you still have the face to ask, look at what kind of soldiers you are bringing?" ”

"What happened to my soldiers?" Sun Laobao said angrily, "Zhao Liguo, if you don't make things clear today, Lao Tzu is not done with you." ”

Sun Lao Leopard was really angry, and no longer called the camp, but directly called his name.

Battalion Commander Zhao kicked the recruit and shouted, "Come on, what good things have happened to you?" ”

The recruit Xiao Maonon was in pain, so he cried and said to Sun Laobao: "Company commander, I am really hungry, so I want to secretly use a grenade to exchange food with the brothers of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, company commander, I am really hungry, I haven't eaten for a long time." ”
