Just in time for dinner, Gu Xun brought the other officers to welcome the visiting officers of the New Second Regiment. They planned to communicate with each other while eating.
Although the conditions were a little simple, Gu Xun still inherited the tradition of discussing things at the dinner table.
Dozens of people were holding rice bowls and digging rice. Pork, cabbage, and vermicelli were cooked in a few makeshift rice pots.
This was the only main course. Gu Xun wasn't that extravagant with a few dishes and soup.
Although red wine and steak were not worth much points compared to weapons, Gu Xun was not that particular. If some differentiated items could not be distributed to the entire army, it was better not to have them.
As the highest commander, Gu Xun was eating pork stewed vermicelli with his legs crossed. The others naturally did not put on airs. They all sat in a circle around the rice pot, looking like old farmers who had just finished farming and were seizing the time to eat.
"Hehe, I, Old Li, came uninvited. I've made Commander Gu spend money!”
Li Jinshan scooped up a piece of pork and noodles from the pot and put them into a bowl. He didn't care about his image at all as he ate the rice in big mouthfuls.
Gu Xun took a sip of water from the water bottle and smiled."
"Regiment Commander Li, what are you talking about? You are the guests invited by Regiment 369. Moreover, our army has meat every day.”
Li Jinshan and the officers of the New 2nd Regiment laughed foolishly, pretending that the officers of the 369th Regiment were bluffing.
Eating meat every day?
Even the island army with poorer conditions did not have such conditions!
Li Jinshan chewed on the plump rice grains in his mouth and asked in confusion,"
"Regiment Commander Gu, the millet you are cooking doesn't seem to be from Jin Province.”
Gu Xun added a piece of meat and said casually,"
"Oh, it's not. This is high-quality northeastern rice. It just arrived recently.”
Li Jinshan froze.
Pork could be used to make a fool of himself, but this rice…
They must have been transported out from the area occupied by the Japanese. What was the background of this 369th Regiment? Why was there so much strange stuff?
The soldiers of the New Second Regiment who were freeloading on food in the 369th Regiment had the same feeling.
Meat! A big piece of pork!
Ever since they were born, they had never eaten meat as happily as they did today.
Even in the past, during the New Year, at most, the whole family would only get two pieces of meat to be dipped in oil.
No wonder these people from Regiment 369 looked so strong. With such food, who wouldn't be strong?
Compared to the soldiers of the New 2nd Regiment who were fighting for the pork in the pot and the cooks who were constantly adding water and meat to the pot, the people of the 369th Regiment performed a little better, but only a little.
Although the 369th Regiment usually had meat every day, there were only a few pieces.
Today was the first time that the 369th Regiment allowed the soldiers to eat as much as they wanted. Moreover, the Regiment Commander had personally said that they would eat as much as they wanted. The soldiers who had just escaped from their usual bitter days for half a year could not stop themselves from eating.
In order to take care of the taste of the soldiers, when Gu Xun used his points to exchange for pork from the system, he specially chose the pork belly that was fat and lean, with a lot of fat!
From the perspective of health and personal taste, Gu Xun himself didn't really eat fat meat, and his picky mouth only liked to eat lean meat.
However, it did not matter what he thought. What the soldiers liked was the only standard of consideration. Gu Xun thought that he had done a good job in putting people first.
The Chinese soldiers were used to living a hard life. It was just a strange thing to preach to people who did not even have enough food that lean meat was healthy and fat meat had high calories. If Gu Xun knew, he would be grounded for a check-up.
The soldiers wanted to be fat, oily, and full of meat, so Gu Xun did everything they wanted!
Since ancient times, the Chinese had liked to discuss matters at the dinner table. The soldiers at the bottom level took the opportunity to chat and exchange feelings while eating meat. The officers were not idle either.
Gu Xun put down his bowl and chopsticks. After eating his fill, he got to the point.
"Regiment Commander Li, I and Regiment 369 have just arrived here and have no idea what to do in Northwest Shanxi. I have many questions to ask Regiment Commander Li.”
Li Jinshan swallowed the pork in his mouth and chuckled.
"Our Old Li and Regiment Commander Gu are friends who fought and ate together. You're treating us as outsiders by calling us Regiment Commander Li.”
Gu Xun nodded and replied,"
"Alright, I'm Gu Xun, also known as Jing Nian. Old Li, you can call me Jing Nian.”
"Hehe, that's fine. Brother Jingnian, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. If it's not military secrets, I, Old Li, will tell you everything I know.”
Gu Xun took out the map from under the rock beside him and unfolded it."
"Old Li, the reason why Battalion Commander Wen went to help today was because we met a county brigade on the way. After helping to kill the Japanese, we learned something from them.”
Pointing at a small section on the map, Gu Xun said,"
"From Wucheng Town to Fenyang, combined with the information we have gathered from all sides, we have about five regiments of troops, which corresponds to the two regiments of the island army that came to encircle and suppress us.”
