"What? Is there anything I can't see?" Liu Gen asked with a smile.
After receiving the dry food from Battalion Commander Zhang, Liu Gen directly broke off some of it with force. It was very hard. It was Liu Gen who was strong enough to break off a piece of the dry food.
Liu Gen put the dry food in his mouth and chewed it hard. It hurt his teeth. After eating a piece of dry food, he felt his cheeks hurt. Liu Gen lowered his head and looked at the dry food in his hand. It was what Camp Commander Zhang and others were eating.
It's a bit too hard to eat such hard dry food.
"Captain Zhang, don't you have hot dry food? Why don't you eat hot food?" Liu Gen couldn't help but ask.
Before Battalion Commander Zhang could speak, a company commander explained: "Comrade Liu Gen, you don't know that the tools in our hands are limited, and we need to heat dry food several times."
"The battalion commander was worried that the Japanese would attack, so he decided to eat dry food directly. This way, when the Japanese came, we would have a certain fighting capacity,"
Liu Gen nodded. He understood what Camp Commander Zhang was thinking. He looked up at Camp Commander Zhang and the others. He was a little moved and a little ashamed.
After Battalion Commander Zhang and others fought such a cruel battle yesterday, he was unable to give Battalion Commander Zhang and others a hot meal. How could he not feel ashamed?
"Battle Commander Zhang, please don't eat these dry rations for the time being."
"The soldiers on guard have not noticed the incoming Japanese troops yet, and there is still enough time for the comrades to have a hot meal." Liu Gen said very seriously.
Battalion Commander Zhang quickly said: "Comrade Liu Gen, most of the comrades can eat hot meals. There is no need to prepare other meals. The comrades have long been accustomed to it."
The other extremely company commanders and platoon commanders did not say anything, but they did not want Liu Gen to do other things. It was just a meal, a simple meal. Besides, in such a war era, being able to have just one meal was enough.
It's a very good thing.
Liu Gen was a little helpless. He wanted to give the soldiers a hot meal. He thought it was very simple, but Battalion Commander Zhang and others did not want him to do this. In this regard, Liu Gen didn't know what to do.
Only by doing this can you convince Zhang Yingchang and others.
"Okay, since you don't want to eat hot food, then I will eat dry food with you!"
"Forget it this morning. At noon, I guarantee that all the comrades will have a hot meal and will not let the soldiers fight on an empty stomach!" Liu Gen took a hard bite of dry food, his expression particularly determined.
Battalion Commander Zhang smiled and nodded. He did not refuse this time. It was also what he wanted to see so that the soldiers could have a hot meal and a full meal. Battalion Commander Zhang didn't know what Liu Gen would do, but he believed that with Liu Gen's
Ability, definitely able to see this target.
After having breakfast with Camp Commander Zhang and others, Liu Gen felt that his teeth seemed to have become sharper, which were tempered by dry food. If Liu Gen were allowed to eat such dry food again, he would definitely not be relaxed.
Well, after this experience, Liu Gen feels that he can eat any dry food.
"Batalion Commander Zhang, continue to let the comrades of the infantry battalion rest and pay close attention to the treatment of the seriously injured."
"Comrades in the infantry battalion are all talented people. We must reduce our casualties as much as possible, otherwise Commander He will definitely punish us severely when we return to the division headquarters." Before leaving, Liu Gen explained again.
Liu Gen knew that even if he did not confess, Battalion Commander Zhang would attach great importance to the treatment of seriously wounded soldiers. But now Liu Gen confessed again, hoping that Battalion Commander Zhang would understand that for the infantry battalion, the most important thing now is to treat seriously injured soldiers.
wounded, rather than ready to fight.
Before the Japanese troops arrive, the infantry battalion will not have any chance to participate in the battle. According to Liu Gen's idea, he wants to make the infantry battalion his biggest trump card. He also hopes that the infantry battalion can surprise the Japanese troops.
!
Battalion Commander Zhang didn't quite understand what Liu Gen meant. He just felt that Liu Gen attached great importance to the treatment of the wounded. As for more things, he was not aware of it at all.
After leaving the infantry battalion, Liu Gen did not return to the front line immediately. He approached the mayor of Nuanquan Town, hoping to pay for some food and vegetables, and hired a chef from Nuanquan Town to cook for the injured soldiers.
some nutritious meals.
At the same time, Liu Gen also hopes that Nuanquan Town can provide enough hot meals and dishes for the soldiers, for which he will pay a corresponding amount of money.
During the capture of the battle, Liu Gen got a lot of oceans. Originally, these oceans should be sent back to the 120th Division Headquarters, and then the division headquarters would uniformly distribute these oceans. But after seeing that the soldiers could not eat enough,
After hot meals, Liu Gen felt that he needed to make use of these oceans.
Keeping these oceans in your hands will not create any value at all. Instead of doing this, it is better to use these oceans in exchange for hot meals and dishes that are enough for the soldiers. In this way, the people of Nuanquan Town can make some money, and the soldiers can also
Can be in a better state to deal with the enemy's attack.
The mayor is still very cooperative, especially after knowing that Liu Gen will pay Dayang, there is no problem. The mayor knows that even if the Eighth Route Army does not need Dayang, everyone is willing to do their best to help the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese.
It's just that the Eighth Route Army has always followed the principle of not taking advantage of the masses, so the townspeople of Nuanquan Town don't know how to help this Eighth Route Army unit.
Now that Liu Gen has come to seek help, the mayor is naturally very welcoming. He also hopes that the Eighth Route Army can guard Nuanquan instead of being recaptured by the Japanese. Only areas that have been truly ruled by the Japanese will have a clear understanding of the Japanese's intentions.
Brutal and inhumane.
It can be said that Nuanquan Town has been suffering from the Japanese for a long time, and the arrival of Liu Gen and others has completely helped Nuanquan Town escape from the volcanic sea of suffering.
After solving the problem of the soldiers' next meal, Liu Gencai went to the defensive position on the front line of Nuanquan Town again. During this period, the soldiers of the artillery battalion who took over the defense were not idle. They once again strengthened the defense on the position in order to
Guaranteed to be able to survive the enemy's attack for longer.
"Captain Wang, let your comrades take a rest. There is no need to reinforce the defensive positions all the time."
"Don't forget, the Japs still have fighter planes. Although the possibility of the Japs using fighter planes when attacking Nuanquan Town is very small, we cannot deny the possibility. Once the Japs fighter planes are dispatched, our defensive positions will inevitably become the enemy's fighter planes.
Target."
"Besides, the Japs' vanguard should be arriving soon. Let the soldiers take the time to rest and be ready to fight at any time." Liu Gen's expression was a little solemn. At this time, the Japs' troops should be arriving soon.
Battalion Commander Wang nodded, waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers of the artillery battalion to stop and rest.
Less than half an hour after the artillery battalion soldiers rested, alert soldiers reported that they had discovered traces of the Japs’ vanguard troops. The Japs were coming!
