In the muddy trenches, under the dusk of the night, soldiers were shivering and huddled together to keep warm.
Especially the pair that was thrown into the mud. His legs were almost numb.
The weather was cold, and it was a trench by the river. Once they dug, they would be flooded. Staying in such a place was a real torment.
This was the front line closest to the Japanese. The soldiers of the 67th Division gathered together and only had dirty words. They didn't hear any complaints.
Two cooks carried dinner to the trenches. On the front line of the trenches, a platoon of soldiers had gathered. When the four wooden rice buckets were opened, a steaming fragrance was emitted.
The surrounding warriors were instantly tempted, and they could not help but swallow their saliva.
"There's meat.”A young warrior shouted excitedly.
The few warriors near the barrel also exclaimed,"There's really meat. There's a lot of braised pork, bone soup, white steamed buns, and rice.”
"What happened today?"
"Don't tell me you want us to be a suicide squad at night! Then he had to do it more often later. Even if he died, he couldn't be a hungry ghost.”
"Yes, we have to do it more often. We starve every day during the war. We can't starve when we die.”
All the soldiers were discussing animatedly. There was no soldier in this era who didn't understand the meaning of death squads.
Are you afraid?
It was natural to be afraid of death. The 30-odd soldiers in the platoon all had fear on their faces, but at this moment, no one cowered.
One of the soldiers laughed and said,""What are you guys thinking? The entire army will have extra food tonight. You're not the only one who will have it, the entire army will have it. Rice, flour, and steamed buns will fill your stomachs, bone soup will drink as much as you can, braised pork will eat as much as you can, and later, the supply team will come to distribute bread, canned beef, and soda.”
"No, we don't understand what you're saying. Not only does the Central Army not have such treatment, even the Japanese don't have it.”A warrior who understood asked in confusion.
"These things were sent by the Special Combat Brigade.”The soldier who put down the carrying pole sat cross-legged in the relatively dry mud pit and said,"In the afternoon, the Special Combat Brigade first sent twenty trucks of weapons. There were twenty 155mm howitzers, more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns, and more than a hundred mortars. After that, they sent a large amount of weapons and ammunition, followed by a large amount of pork, rice, and flour.”
"God, the special forces are so rich!”The surrounding warriors all exclaimed when they heard that.
"We finally have someone to love.”A veteran muttered with a melancholic expression.
The soldier shook his head, and the excitement on his face disappeared. He said,"The people from the Special Combat Brigade are all good men. They have stirred up the Japanese. Otherwise, we don't know how many of our people would have died.”
The names of the Special Combat Brigade and Ye Qing had already spread throughout the 67th Division. There were all sorts of rumors.
The surrounding soldiers pricked up their ears when they heard this. The soldier continued,"I just heard from a staff officer that the reason why the Special Combat Brigade sent so much equipment and food is because we are about to face a fierce battle. Other than the 6th division in front of us, the 18th division is coming from the west, and the Guoqi Division is coming from the east. The battle will probably start tonight.”
Hearing the soldier's words, all the soldiers shook their heads. Someone said,""What's the big deal? 20,000 Japanese and 50,000 Japanese are all the same to us.”
At this moment, their platoon leader walked over, followed by some soldiers of the supply camp carrying some big boxes.
The platoon leader shouted,"Give me a few good machine guns."”
The 30-odd fighters looked at each other. Then, eight people walked out. The platoon leader nodded and said,"Eat first. After eating, familiarize yourself with the new machine guns and set up the machine gun position. The others will come to collect bullets and grenades after eating.”
……
In the field command post of the 67th Army in Song Jiang City, he held a telescope and watched the soldiers in the trenches in the distance grab the braised pork and eat it attentively. The corners of his mouth revealed a smile.
"General Ye, it has been a long time since the 67th Division has eaten so much meat. On behalf of the entire army, I thank you again.”Wu Keren looked at the red braised pork on the plate and stood up to salute Ye Qing solemnly.
The red braised pork was cooked one by one, and each one was worth seven to eight taels. It took two hundred pigs to satisfy the appetite of the 67th Army.
Some of the pork was stolen by Ye Qing from the Japanese, and some was dropped by the Japanese. It was considered to be useful.
Ye Qing looked at the soldiers outside with a deep gaze and said,"" They are the most respectable people in this era, and they are also the most lovable people in the Chinese nation. I'm just doing what I should do. Compared to the value of their lives, the so-called help I provided is really too cheap.”
