Chapter 226: Eat dumplings!
At noon.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came to the old place to receive the goods as requested.
What arrived today is 210 tons of grain.
Chen Feng is still in charge of delivery.
"Haha, Brother Chen."
It was still Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang who arrived first with the two guards.
"Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work and delivering the goods yourself." Zhao Gang got off his horse and said in a grateful tone.
Li Yunlong's eyes glanced behind Chen Feng, and his eyes instantly became hot. Food, this is fucking food.
Behind Chen Feng, food was airdropped all over the place, almost covering the entire mountain col.
"Brother Zhao, you're welcome."
Chen Feng smiled and took out the list and handed it to Li Yunlong: "There are 210 tons of grain in total. The staple food is rice and white flour. Every 10 tons of grain contains 9 tons of staple food and 1 ton of canned meat."
"Canned meat?" Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both stunned. Before that, Brother Chen didn't say that there was still canned meat.
"I didn't say it before, I just wanted to give the two brothers a surprise."
Chen Feng smiled slightly and continued: "Canned meat is divided into large canned meat and small canned meat."
"Each barrel of large meat cans weighs 100 kilograms. The meat is made from Iberian black pigs purchased at a high price. The taste and meat quality are top-notch."
"The small can is pure beef canned imported from a beautiful country."
"The canned Iberian black pig is suitable for daily consumption, and the small canned food is suitable for rationing to soldiers during combat."
Zhao Gang quickly took the list from Li Yunlong and took a look.
Sure enough, we saw 94.5 tons of rice and white flour each, 50,000 cans of beef, and 265 barrels of canned Iberian black pig.
Each canned beef is about 150 grams, 50,000 canned beef is about 7.5 tons, each barrel of canned black pig weighs 100 kilograms, and 265 barrels is 13.25 tons.
The total is almost 210 tons of grain.
"Thank you so much." Zhao Gang, who is in charge of Xinyi Tuan's life, was filled with gratitude after seeing the list. 10 tons of grain contains 21 tons of meat!
When the New Regiment of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was completely annihilated, more than 200,000 kilograms of horse meat were obtained, which greatly improved the life of the New Regiment within a few months.
The made horse meat jerky also greatly solved the problem of traveling long distances to replenish battalion commanders and salt.
However, the more than 200,000 kilograms of horse meat had been eaten up long ago, and even the horses dragged back from the battle at Niangziguan were not much left.
Nowadays, ordinary officers and soldiers have one meal of meat every six days in two days. In a few days at most, the soldiers of the new regiment will have no meat to eat.
Because the New Regiment currently has 7,000 people, even if we exclude the more than 2,000 people in the county brigade who often engage in side jobs, there are still more than 5,000 people.
There is no meat to eat, and even if it is difficult at most, you can get through it by gritting your teeth.
But the training and combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be affected.
"Brother, your 21 tons of meat are a real help in times of need." Li Yunlong also expressed his gratitude with some excitement.
At the beginning, Li Yunlong robbed the supply convoy of the Japanese raiding force and said in front of his old comrades, "I can hardly walk with the canned beef serving me every day."
This is half true and half false, I did eat canned beef, but having canned beef served every day is just bragging.
A lot of cans were indeed seized in that robbery. Each soldier was assigned 1 to 3 boxes of cans according to their combat merit. Later, the remaining cans were sent to the field hospital.
It was shortly after the Hundred Regiment War ended, and the wounded in the hospital needed nutrition more than the soldiers of the new regiment.
Chen Feng said in a surprised tone: "Brother Li is pretty good. He speaks in precise words and uses idioms."
"I testify." Zhao Gang said, "Brother Li, you have been studying very hard during this period. You often burn the midnight oil and stay up late to study."
"Really?" Chen Feng pretended to be doubtful. Even Zhao Gang said this, so it must be true.
"Of course."
Li Yunlong sounded confident: "Haha... Now you, Brother Li, and I are cultural people and true intellectuals."
The three of them laughed.
After a pause, Chen Feng said again: "Brother Li, the basic military textbooks you asked me to prepare last time are also here this time."
"Yes, yes," Li Yunlong said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. How many military textbooks are there?"
"There are only a few." Chen Feng said, "But 300 copies of each were printed. You should be able to find them among the grain piles."
"Thank you very much, brother." Li Yunlong gratefully handed over his hand.
Next, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang invited Chen Feng to Yangcun, but Chen Feng declined, and then Chen Feng said goodbye and returned to the base.
After watching Chen Feng and his bodyguards walk far away, Li Yunlong and Zhao just looked away.
By this time, the cavalry battalion and transportation team had arrived.
Li Yunlong immediately ordered all the grain and canned meat to be transported back to Yangcun.
Looking at the mountains of food, the commanders and soldiers were very motivated and everyone started to work.
Zhao Gang took a look and saw that each bag of rice or flour was packed with 100 kilograms. The grain bags were very delicate. The list said that the bags were called urea bags. In terms of quality, the sacks were completely incomparable. Moreover, there was a layer of waterproof inside. Moisture-proof plastic film.
"189 tons of staple food, 21 tons of imported pork and beef, Brother Chen is really wealthy..."
Zhao Gang muttered.
These are all staple foods and meat. After eating the staple food, you will be very hungry. After eating the meat, you will not feel weak.
Then, Zhao Gang turned around and looked for Li Yunlong, and saw Li Yunlong asking the guard to dig out a large stack of books bundled together.
He walked over and saw Li Yunlong holding a book with "How to Masturbate" written on the cover.
As the name suggests, this is a military textbook that teaches soldiers how to masturbate.
Zhao Gang read several other books, including "Reverse Slope Fortifications and Three-Three System Tactics", "Militia Training Manual", and "Fundamentals of Military Science".
He also picked up a "Militia Training Manual" and flipped through it casually. There was a bookish smell, indicating that the textbook was very new.
Pure white paper, the quality of this paper shows high craftsmanship, and the straw paper they usually use is completely incomparable.
"Now everyone has learned something." Li Yunlong looked at these military textbooks with a satisfied expression.
Textbooks like these may not even be available at the Anti-Japanese University, let alone the 129th Division Camp School.
Of course, these books are just crude military textbooks. In addition to teaching tactics and combat skills, the Eighth Route Army's military schools also have ideological and political courses.
Li Yunlong turned around and said: "Huzi, take all these books back and give one copy of each textbook to each class. Our new group must create a learning atmosphere."
"Our new regiment is ace in fighting, and our new regiment must also be ace in learning."
Xinyi Tuan currently has more than 200 classes, and each textbook has 300 copies, which is enough for every class to receive textbooks, and there is still a surplus.
Let the squad leader learn it first, and then teach it to the soldiers after the squad leader has learned it.
Moreover, using this learning method, soldiers will be able to read faster.
"Yes, leader!" Huang Erhu responded loudly after taking the order.
"With you as the leader taking the lead in learning," Zhao Gang said with a smile, "the learning atmosphere of our new regiment will definitely be the same." The weight of 10 tons, converted into kilograms, is 420,000 kilograms.
Each military horse can carry 500 kilograms per trip, and 600 military horses can transport 300,000 kilograms per trip.
Coupled with the more than 140 mule carts of the logistics transportation team, each mule cart can transport 1,000 kilograms, and one trip can transport 140,000 kilograms.
The 420,000 kilograms of grain was transported back to Yangcun by the cavalry battalion and transportation team in one trip.
…
The first thing Li Yunlong did when he led his troops was to transport grain back to Yangcun.
Just ask a few soldiers to deliver a bag of grain, a bag of white flour, a barrel of canned Iberian black pig, and two cans of beef imported from Beautiful China to the regiment headquarters.
In the outer room of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong took a pair of scissors, cut open the rice bag, and then grabbed a handful of rice from the bag, exclaiming in a tone of voice: "This is so attractive, tsk tsk tsk!"
Li Yunlong, who comes from a poor peasant family, looked at the crystal white rice in front of him with almost no broken rice or foreign matter, and let out a long tut-tsk sound of praise.
“It’s hard to find rice with this appearance and quality in the market.”
Zhao Gang, who was in charge of daily life, also grabbed a handful of rice and commented with wide eyes.
Even the millet that little devils usually eat is completely incomparable to this.
Zhao Gang quickly calculated in his mind, excluding 21 tons of canned meat, the total of rice and white flour was 189 tons, which is 378,000 kilograms.
Based on the calculation that Xinyi Tuan consumes 13,000 kilograms of grain every day, this food is enough for Xinyi Tuan to last for one month.
Of course, this does not include whole grains and miscellaneous grains, and there is also a lot of meat now. With this batch of grains and the usual coarse grains and miscellaneous grains, the soldiers can eat it for 2 months without any problem.
Coupled with the original food reserves of more than 2 months, it is enough to feed the soldiers for more than 4 months.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong used scissors to cut open the bag containing the white flour. When the two of them saw it, they knew that it was flour ground from high-quality wheat.
"Let's eat rice first and mix it with whole grains." Zhao Gang said, "Save the white flour. When the war comes, let the cooking team make white flour into white flour cakes. It is much better than fried noodles."
"I think it will work!" Li Yunlong nodded happily, "When making the cake, you can also add meat sauce. It is not only delicious but also very hungry."
Li Yunlong took another bayonet and pried open the can of Iberian black pig. In addition to pork and lard, the meat looked very fresh.
There is also a note on the list that the canned black pig has been specially treated and has a shelf life of half a year.
As for the canned beef imported from the beautiful country, because it is cooked food, its shelf life is longer, and the shelf life is as long as several years.
Even if it is stored well, the shelf life can be as long as ten or decades, but no one dares to eat beef from decades ago.
Pork and beef are kept in iron cans.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang opened the canned beef and took a bite of the beautiful Chinese beef. It tasted really good.
The new group also seized canned tuna from the Japs. It tasted really unpleasant, which means the Japs liked to eat that stuff.
"Old Li, why don't all the commanders and soldiers in the regiment have a meal of dumplings with meat stuffing tonight?"
Zhao Gang said: "Just think of it as a celebration for the Sword Squadron's successful completion of the mission, heavy damage to the Japanese army, and the collective special merit. Comrade Lu Yingjun was awarded the honorary title of first-class combat hero."
"You manage your life, you have the final say."
Li Yunlong had no objection to this.
How long has it been since we, Lao Li, had meat-filled dumplings?
"Then it's settled," Zhao Gang said, "I will immediately arrange for companies directly under each battalion to come and collect canned meat and white flour."
