"Don't mess around! Everyone line up! One bowl per person, everything is available!" the bearded cook shouted in a low voice.//Welcome to reading//
Zhao Gan was lined up in the middle of the queue. His back was covered with sweat, and he was chilled by the north wind. He also imitated the soldiers lined up in front and behind, jumping in place to keep warm.
Zhao Gan surrendered to the Runing Army in Xuzhou this time. This time he was incorporated into the temporary auxiliary corps and acted with the main force of the Runing Army. However, when he was in Yingzhou, the auxiliary corps was dismantled and the cavalry was assigned.
After arriving at the cavalry corps, the remaining auxiliary troops were also dispersed among the various units of the Runing Army.
Within a few days of staying in Yingzhou, the entire Runing army moved towards Huainan. On the first day, it was okay. The entire army marched at a normal speed for more than 30 miles during the day. But on the second day today, except during the day,
In addition to the march, the Runing army suddenly marched at night after nightfall, rushing towards the Huaihe River section of Huainan.
Now is the break time for the rapid march, and every soldier of the Runing Army can drink a bowl of hot ginger soup.
While jumping, Zhao Gan looked curiously at the cart behind the cooking soldiers. The cart was blocked by wooden boards on three sides, and there was a long flue extending from the side. It looked weird.
"What are you looking at?" Cheng Niu, who was behind him, nudged Zhao Gan with his elbow, "Are you looking at this car with a big tail?"
Cheng Niu is a veteran of the Runing Army. This time, his company commander asked him to take these auxiliary soldiers. However, Cheng Niu also had a cheerful temper. In just a few days, he and Zhao Gan and the others
All are familiar.
Zhao Gan nodded and asked with a smile: "Brother Cheng, this car looks quite strange. What is it used for?"
"What else can it be used for? Follow those cooking soldiers. Of course it is used to boil water for cooking." Cheng Niu was a little proud when he mentioned the equipment of the Runing Army, "Don't underestimate this car, build such a
The price of one car is equivalent to ten large cars."
"Of course!" Seeing Zhao Gan's reaction, Cheng Niu also started chatting proudly, "When I first joined the Runing Army, I didn't have the good life you have now. When I usually train for night marches, I only
I can eat some cold rice and cold water. Later, our adults cared about me and asked the workshop to build a batch of cooking carts for us."
"But the cooking cart is not easy to build, and we can't let the enemy soldiers in the distance notice that we are lighting a fire, and we also need to allow the cooking soldiers to boil water for cooking on the marching cooking cart. So there was a lot of trouble at the beginning.
What a joke!”
"Look at the big voice who made ginger soup today. His hair was burned off several times, and his eyebrows were not even saved once. His face was so smoked that he looked like Mr. Bao. He even burned the cooking cart several times."
"Later, all the masters from the workshop joined our army and lived with our soldiers for several months. They kept changing and making. Finally, it became what it looked like."
When he saw Zhao Gan, he couldn't close his mouth. Cheng Niu pushed him and said, "It's your turn!"
Zhao Gan quickly turned around and took a bowl of ginger soup. When Cheng Niu was about to take it, the bearded cooking soldier said: "Big Niupi! What are you talking bad about me again? You don't deserve the ginger soup today!"
The words made the team laugh.
The company commander who maintained order quickly reprimanded: "Keep your voices down! Do you want to be scolded?"
A group of people shrunk and hid aside to drink ginger soup. Zhao Gan covered the bowl with both hands while sipping the ginger soup. At this time, he saw several soldiers pushing fodder and bean cakes, and black beans passed by.
The horses were fed. Zhao Gan thought about the days before the rebellion when he couldn't even eat bean cakes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's so rich here!" When he thought of this, Zhao Gan couldn't help but growl in his stomach.
.
Cheng Niu heard the movement in Zhao Gan's stomach. He smiled and said: "That's for the horses. We can't eat too much when we are marching. We will have food for us after the march. In fact, they also have big voices."
It's quite tiring, they have to be busy all the way. Don't drink like a little wife. Drink quickly, there is still some pot left in the big voice, and others will rob it all if we get there late."
…
When the march started again, Zhao Gan indeed discovered that the cooking soldiers were busy on the cooking cart. And what was amazing was that, if not for careful observation, even the people nearby could not see the light of the cooking cart.
"How are you feeling these days?" Cheng Niu asked from the side.
"It's not bad. It's just that I'm tired from traveling!" Zhao Gan told the truth. Zhao Gan, who had just joined the Runing Army, had not yet accumulated fat on his body, so the forced march for several consecutive days was indeed a bit too much.
"It's okay! They are all strong young men, and they will be fine after a few months." Cheng Niu explained with a smile, "Actually, our Runing army is not the most tiring when fighting, it is hard during training! I want to eat hot food.
Soup and hot food? There is no way! Every night there are those brats from the cavalry team who make us sick, and we can’t sleep well all night. Then in the morning we have to march quickly and practice tactics, so tired that our eyelids will droop!"
"Really?" Zhao Gan asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true!" Cheng Niu nodded and said, "We adults have said that you sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. But when it comes to training, I would really rather go through the bloody days. That's what I said.
But don’t tell me, the company commander! Did you hear that?”
Zhao Gan nodded quickly and said, "Brother Cheng! I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"It's best if you're not afraid of hardship! You will definitely become a good soldier. Remember! You have not been trained to hide behind me during this battle. You are easily injured. Be smart and hide!"
"Um!"
In the middle of the night, the Runing Army marched for more than thirty miles and set up camp on the spot. Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers immediately formed large and small vehicle formations on the periphery, and then dug trenches outside the vehicle formations.
A tent was set up inside the car array.
After the camp was set up, the cooks brought each soldier a hot steamed bun, a meat stick and a bowl of broth. After everyone had finished eating, each soldier received a pair of clean underwear.
Working in small groups, the soldiers went to the cooking cart one by one to get hot water. After wiping themselves clean, they put on clean underwear to prevent typhoid fever.
Then it was time to wash the feet. Veterans like Cheng Niu checked the soles of the soldiers' feet while washing their feet. If there were blisters on their feet, they immediately used horsehair to remove the blisters to prevent someone from being unable to walk the next day because of the blisters.
After all this was done, the soldiers who were not on guard duty went into the tent to sleep. Before falling asleep, Zhao Gan thought drowsily: "I finally live a good life!" (To be continued. If you like this
