Wan Tiangui hurriedly said: "Being able to be valued by the young master is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes, but our Wan family only has Xiao Shui, so we have to ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law about this matter. The young master must not
Be surprised."
Of course, Zhou Wen just said this, and after hearing that Xiao Shui was the sole heir of the Wan family, he stopped trying to recruit him. In this era, no matter you are born high or low, you all pay attention to the continuity of incense.
”.
Zhou Wen is recruiting people to go to war. Don't lose his only family by then, and he will be embarrassed to see his family in the future.
The caravan hurriedly hit the road again before it was completely dark, heading towards Jianchang Camp under the leadership of Lao Jiangtou.
After Zhou Wen watched the eight carts and a dozen horses disappear from sight, he turned back to Zhang Xiaoping and said, "Let's eat some dry food on the spot and set off in 10 minutes."
This time he only took Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing, Sun Dazhu and two members of the commando team on the small road. He just wanted to conduct a field survey of the road conditions of the following small road, especially the difficulty and feasibility of marching at night.
Since we are going to fight here, we need to examine the terrain clearly. At this time, there are not many roads from inside the pass to outside the pass. Such a small road that ordinary people don't know will come in use at some point, and it will be very important to Zhou Wenlai.
It is said that as long as you go once, you will naturally remember it clearly.
At this time, Wan Tiangui was gobbling down a piece of hard pancake in a few mouthfuls. He raised the water bag on his waist and drank a few mouthfuls before hurriedly saying: "Young Master, before it gets completely dark, let's
Let's go now. There are still many steep cliffs on the road. The young master and a few brothers will have to follow closely when the time comes. It's so dark that if you get lost, it will be troublesome."
You must know that most rural people in this era suffered from night blindness due to poor nutrition. That is to say, when the light intensity is very low at night, others may still be able to distinguish the objects and roads in front of them through the weak moonlight or starlight.
, and people with blindness basically have blurred vision, and in severe cases, they are almost as blind as a blind person at night.
In addition to congenital and genetic factors, night blindness is mainly caused by the lack of animal protein in daily food, resulting in a lack of vitamin A. At this time, the people in the mountainous areas could feed their entire family every day, let alone animal protein, regardless of whether it was whole grains or wild vegetables.
Those with a weak stomach are considered to be living a decent life. Therefore, most of the farmers in rural China suffer from night blindness.
The vast majority of the soldiers in the Republic of China army were farmers. In the army, except for a very small number of elite troops who could always have meat supplements, most of the troops only had steamed buns and brown rice mixed with food and clothing, fish and meat.
It is also difficult to eat at ordinary times, which means that most soldiers in the Chinese army during this period had night blindness.
Although later generations of novels and literature and history show that our army used night fighting as a common tactic during the Anti-Japanese War, it was actually forced to have no choice, because even if it was a night battle, unless it was an unexpected attack, the enemy and our armies would be mixed together.
, in fact, our army suffered more.
Because Japan's national power far exceeds that of China, the Japanese army pays more attention to the nutrition of its soldiers, and also pays attention to night battles. The Japanese army's marching rations are equipped with canned beef and other foods containing animal protein. Moreover, many Japanese are fishermen and have not been exposed to food since childhood.
Lack of animal protein, so although the Japanese army is short in stature, their strength and physical fitness are higher than that of our army, and there are not many soldiers suffering from night blindness. Therefore, when they actually start a night battle with our army, they also occupy a large area.
Advantage.
However, why does our army still use night fighting as a regular tactical method after knowing that the Japanese army is also good at night fighting? In fact, it is because the Japanese army has a greater advantage during the day. At night, it may be able to rely on its numerical advantage to achieve battlefield victory at great sacrifices.
, in the daytime, in front of the powerful Japanese aircraft, tanks and heavy artillery, it is useless no matter how many people you have.
Although these realistic gaps may sound sad, it was under such conditions that the great Patriotic War of the Chinese nation achieved final victory at the tragic cost of 70 million military and civilian lives.
Some people may ask, wasn't it because the Allies joined later that led to Japan's surrender?
In fact, these are all nonsense. We will also ask, how does Japan, an island country with such poor resources that it is impossible to produce even a screw by itself, get the raw materials for its aircraft and cannons? Is it possible?
Wasn't it because Western countries continued to deliver steel raw materials and technology in order to make money that they became the most powerful country in Asia at that time?
At that time, every bomb dropped by Japanese planes on Chinese soil, every bullet used to massacre Chinese civilians, and even the bayonets they brutally stabbed those helpless Chinese children and infants were all made from scrap steel sold to them by the United States.
from.
In the early and middle stages of China's Anti-Japanese War, with almost no foreign aid, China used the unyielding life and flesh of the Chinese nation to nearly bankrupt Japan, and the entire Japanese financial system almost collapsed. As a result, they had to change their strategy.
The focus turned to the extremely wealthy Western colonies in Southeast Asia, which caused them to be forced to fight against the American cowboys by the tenacity and tenacity of the Chinese nation.
In order to make money, Western countries can export a large amount of industrial raw materials to Japan and ignore the life and death of the Chinese people. When they are bitten by Japan and their bodies are dripping with blood, in order to reduce bleeding and pain, they can also provide China with
Provide aircraft and artillery to Chinese soldiers to fight the Japanese devils.
This world is such a reality. There is no morality or ethics between strong countries and weak countries. There are only interests, and only interests.
As for the problem of night blindness, Zhou Wen has already paid attention to it. Not only did he strengthen nutrition for his brothers when he was in Dawangzhuang, but he also never scrupulously provided food for the second team after arriving in Shanxi. He did not hesitate to provide pork, beef, mutton, chicken and fish.
, they also purchase a large amount of animal offal every week to add to the food, which greatly improves the physical fitness of the entire mercenary group. Night blindness does not exist in the mercenary group at all.
As for Wanda Gui, he was born as an Orion and has been eating various animal proteins since he was a child. Naturally, he does not suffer from night blindness, so he agreed to travel at night.
At this time, Zhou Wen said to Wan Tiangui who was in a hurry: "No hurry, let's rest our feet first, and we will go straight to Lengkou in a while. I'm in front. You only need to show me the way when the road conditions are unclear."
That’s fine.”
Wan Tiangui is in a hurry. Are you kidding me? You should go ahead. You probably don't know how dangerous it is to walk on a mountain road in the dark.
