Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 218
A soldier lined up, and the porridge cook gave each soldier a bowl of gruel, followed by a small spoonful of black pickles.

Every soldier's face is sallow and sallow, looking extremely malnourished.

Xiao He looked at the pot of gruel, and couldn't help but think of the allusion in the ancient disaster relief, when chopsticks were inserted into the porridge, if the chopsticks floated, the heads of officials would fall to the ground.

And this pot of porridge can't be inserted into it, and the chopsticks will float. If Li Yunlong was an official in ancient times, in this situation, his head would have to be chopped off three times.

Qian Bojun didn't know what to say for a moment, vegetable leaf porridge was indeed okay, it was much better than pickles and porridge.

Li Yunlong walked up to several people and said, "Let's go back to the meeting room."

"Okay." Qian Bojun nodded immediately, he didn't want to eat this stuff, who knows if he would have diarrhea after eating it.

"Battle Commander Qian, you agreed to eat the same food as the soldiers, so you can't just go back on your word." Xiao He said.

Qian Bojun: "..."

Then the three of them made a bowl of porridge with pickles, and stepped aside, Li Yunlong and deputy head Qian also made a bowl of porridge with pickles.

Xiao He looked at the dark pickles in the bowl, then picked up chopsticks and stuffed one into his mouth. At that moment, a salty taste came, accompanied by an indescribable feeling of stimulation with taste buds.

Very salty and unpalatable.

Turning to look at Qian Bojun and Xiaoliang, both of them also showed disgusted expressions on their faces. If they hadn't taken care of Li Yunlong, they would have vomited out the food long ago.

Is this stuff really for people to eat?
On the other hand, Li Yunlong and those Eighth Route Army soldiers ate with gusto, not pretending at all.

At this moment, [-] Jinsui soldiers approached with curses.

"Battalion Commander, these eight routes are just neglecting us and giving us vegetable leaf porridge. It's okay to eat in the morning, but can't you eat in the evening? Otherwise, how can we be full?" said a Jinsui army.

"That's right, is that how they treat guests?!" The other Jinsui troops also said one after another.

They felt that they were being neglected, and they didn't even care about the food for dinner, and what they ate was vegetable leaf porridge.

"Shut up!" Qian Bojun scolded, "Look at what they are eating!"

Qian Bojun pulled the Jinsui Army soldier to the cauldron and asked him to look at the gruel in the cauldron.

For a while, the Jinsui army no longer complained, and only felt ashamed. He thought that the Eighth Route Army would eat rice, but he didn't expect it to be gruel with pickles, but the vegetable leaf porridge was prepared for them. a lot.

"Go away." Qian Bojun scolded.

The twenty Jinsui troops had no choice but to leave in despair, and the Eighth Route Army ate even worse food, so they dared to complain.

"Captain Li, I'm really sorry, the discipline is not strict, the discipline is not strict." Qian Bojun came to Li Yunlong to express his apology.

"It's okay. It's true that we have neglected you. We should give you food. The porridge is thick, but it's still porridge. It's really not suitable to serve you as dinner." Li Yunlong said.

"What's the matter, it's because we don't know what's good and what's wrong." Qian Bojun said, and he felt a little ashamed in his heart, after all, he still felt that Li Yunlong had neglected him before.

Now it seems that the vegetable leaf porridge is indeed the best thing that Li Yunlong and the others can bring out to entertain them.

"Captain Li, can you take us to your warehouse for a look?" At this time, Xiao He said.

"Of course." Li Yunlong nodded, he wished that these people would go to the warehouse to see.

Soon, Li Yunlong took Xiao He and the others to the warehouse.

"Regimental Commander, Deputy Commander, Staff Officer Zhong!" The two soldiers guarding the warehouse hurriedly saluted Li Yunlong and the others.

"Open the door." Li Yunlong said.

"Yes!" A soldier stepped forward and opened the warehouse door.

Li Yunlong took Xiao He and the others into the warehouse.

There are very few supplies in it, only about a thousand catties of grain, a few boxes of bullets, and a dozen boxes of grenades.

"Is this food your food for a month?!" Xiao He asked.

There are more than 200 people in Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters, and more than 30 catties of food a day, which can last for about a month.

"No, it was more than two months." Li Yunlong said.

"Two months?! No, there are more than 200 people in your regiment, how can you eat a thousand catties of food for two months?!" Xiao He said in a daze.

More than 30 catties of grain a day, boiled into gruel, can barely eat for a month, how to eat for two months? !

"In fact, our soldiers can only eat two meals a day, and they are porridge with pickles, so it's not a big problem to save some food for two months." Li Yunlong said.

As soon as the words came out, Xiao He, Qian Bojun and the others fell silent. The troops of the Eighth Route Army had a more difficult life than they thought.

At present, the Jinsui army can at least guarantee three meals a day, and they can also have a full meal in the evening, so they drink porridge in the morning and at noon.

But on the side of the Eighth Route Army, two meals a day are gruel with pickles, which is a state of not being full every day.

"May I take the liberty to ask, do the other troops of the Eighth Route Army eat the same food as the Xinyi Regiment?!" Xiao He asked.

"Well, this is also the case with the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army." Li Yunlong said, this was indeed the case with the previous Eighth Route Army.

If Li Jin hadn't beaten a few gangs of bandits and a big landlord, and seized a lot of money and handed it over, he would probably still have two meals a day and wouldn't be able to eat every meal.

Of course, it is impossible to tell Xiao He and the others about these things, after all, this time it is for the sake of selling miserably.

"Understood." Xiao He nodded, Xin Yi Tuan had such a hard time, but still boiled a large pot of thick vegetable leaf porridge to entertain them, it was really good.

Then Xiao He asked to take a picture of the tombstone of the sacrificed soldier, and Li Yunlong also took them to the mountain where the sacrificed soldier was buried.

Seeing that there were less than a hundred new graves on the mountain, Xiao He couldn't help asking: "Commander Li, according to the number of victims reported in the Yan'an newspaper, the number of graves here is not enough, right?!"

"There is also a part, in the base areas of the other battalions, you need to pass through the enemy-occupied area, and you may encounter devils at any time, but don't worry, I will definitely let people guarantee your safety." Li Yunlong said.

Hearing this, Qian Bojun became restless, and quickly said: "It's not necessary, I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to take two photos, and cause some of you to sacrifice again, the gain outweighs the loss."

"That's right, it won't happen." The female reporter Xiao Liang also said.

Xiao He was silent for a while, Qian Bojun was obviously afraid of death, but after thinking about it, he also felt that he should not cause casualties in the Xinyi Regiment just because of a few photos.

"Why aren't the numbers of the Xinyi Regiment engraved on these steles?" Xiao Liang asked, since they were soldiers who died in the Xinyi Regiment, why didn't they engrave the numbers on the steles?
