Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

I saw the young man carrying the sacks, walking very quickly with a happy smile on his face.

His father also used to work in this hellhole. He was beaten up by the Japanese some time ago and his body was covered with wounds. When he was carried home, his whole family felt as if the sky had fallen.

My father is the main labor force in the family. If he doesn't receive timely treatment after suffering such a serious injury, he will easily become disabled.

But if they wanted to hire a doctor to treat the disease, their family, which could only barely survive, simply did not have the savings.

With no other options, the young man, who had just reached adulthood, took on the responsibility of making money. At the same time, his mother and two sisters also went out to beg to reduce the burden on the family.

Fortunately, that night the Eighth Route Army guerrillas sent their family two dollars and twenty kilograms of rice, which temporarily solved their predicament.

This time, the Eighth Route Army recruited porters in the nearby villages, and the young man was the first to sign up in order to repay his gratitude.

So he quickly picked up a sack and headed towards the designated location.

Kong Hao led everyone to open the second warehouse, which was full of food, and it was the Japanese army rations. The packaging bags were all in Japanese, and they were piled together in large bags.

Although no one can understand it, Japanese itself is derived from Chinese characters. As long as you see the big "米" character on the packaging bag, even a fool can guess what is inside.

After Kong Hao's translation, everyone knew that this was the Japanese army's rations, which were to be transported to the Japanese front-line troops to wage war. Everyone cheered immediately.

The feeling of snatching food from the Japanese made everyone feel extremely refreshed. Adding this together and subtracting that, we could be considered to have picked up a huge bargain.

Then we went to the third warehouse, and the things inside were beyond everyone's expectations, but also reasonable.

At first, everyone thought these things packed in wooden boxes were weapons and ammunition, but when they were opened, they were all canned beef and compressed biscuits from the Japanese, filling up half of the warehouse.

I think it should be matched with the military rations in the second warehouse, and intended to be transported together to the Japanese field troops, but now it has all been taken by the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Hao immediately issued the latest combat order:

"Everyone should prioritize carrying canned food and compressed biscuits, and then give each person two cans and two compressed biscuits. Everyone is doing physical work tonight, and we have to make sure everyone is well fed."

As the saying goes: "An emperor has no need for hungry soldiers."

The big guys don't have much oil in their stomachs, so they must be lacking energy when working and their efficiency is not very high.

After all, no matter how enthusiastic everyone is, their physical fitness is limited. At night, because of moving supplies, they only ate a little rice or pancakes at most, which have been almost digested now.

You may still have enough strength in the first hour or two, but if it goes on for a long time, the carrying efficiency will definitely decrease.

At this time, time is money, and they have to transport supplies as quickly as possible without any delay.

This batch of canned beef and compressed biscuits arrived at the right time. With these good things to fill their stomachs, the material handlers will definitely work with full energy.

After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly took out the canned food and compressed biscuits and distributed them to everyone at the train station.

Even to the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment, Kong Hao sent a transport team to deliver a large amount of canned food and compressed biscuits to them.

Only if the soldiers have enough food can they have more strength to fight the Japanese.

In fact, there are only two taels of meat in one can, and if there are 100 tons of meat, there are almost millions of cans. Looking at it from a broad perspective, there are at least several hundred tons, which is enough for all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to eat several meals.

Compressed biscuits are lighter and more filling.

Kong Hao also asked someone to bring a box of canned food and a box of compressed biscuits, and asked the guards to fetch a few bowls of water.

"My dear leaders, you have been busy for most of the night, come and have something to fill your stomach."

In fact, the troops under the 386th Brigade often seized canned food and compressed biscuits from the Japanese, but Chief of Staff Li and the brigade commander and political commissar rarely ate them.

The main reason is that these good things are basically stored and digested by the front-line combat troops themselves and are rarely handed over. Even if they are handed over to the brigade headquarters, they will basically be sent to the wounded to help them replenish their nutrition.

When Chief of Staff Li saw so many military canned food in front of him, he nodded immediately and said with praise:

"Xiao Kong, I have to say, you are really a lucky star. You can even come across such a rare thing."

"Well, I'll try some foreign food today and try this legendary Japanese canned beef."

In fact, at that time, the Japanese military canned food was quite good. After opening it, there were large chunks of beef inside. It smelled like a unique meaty aroma, and with various seasonings, it was indeed a delicacy.

If you look into it carefully, the Japanese haven't yet broken off relations with the Americans. Most of the beef is imported from the Americans and the ingredients are very solid.

Kong Hao picked up a piece of beef with the dagger he carried with him and put it into his mouth. It had to be said that it tasted quite different.

Although the food in their special forces team is the best in the whole army, it is not common to have the opportunity to eat such large pieces of meat. They just stir-fry a meat dish with bacon during meals.

Kong Hao was young and must have a big appetite. He finished two cans of meat and a piece of compressed biscuit in one go, then stopped with satisfaction.

However, Chief of Staff Li only ate a can of beef and then stopped. It was not because he could not eat more. For some things, it is enough to just taste them without eating until you are full.

It would be a bit of a waste for him to just eat such a good thing. The best way to eat it would be to cook the canned meat with wild vegetables after transporting it back, so that a squad of soldiers could have a good meal.

The same goes for Commander Ma. For such good things, it is enough to just taste them. Eating the meat until you are full is the behavior of a prodigal son.

After everyone finished eating, Kong Hao asked people to collect the empty cans and transport them away later.

In this age of material scarcity, any iron product is precious and cannot be wasted so casually.

Next, everyone checked other things in the warehouse and found surprises everywhere.

A soldier shouted, "Commander, here is sugar, lots of sugar."

Hearing this, everyone gathered around to see what was going on.

In this special period, sugar is a strategic resource and a good thing that cannot be bought even with money.

Now a large amount of white sugar has been found in the warehouse, which can be regarded as an unexpected fortune.

Of course, this was also what Kong Hao secretly exchanged through the system, a total of twenty tons, which would allow the troops to not worry about sugar for a long time, and could also bring a little sweetness to everyone.

Strategic materials such as sugar are definitely given priority for transportation.

When Chief of Staff Li learned that there were 20 tons of sugar here, he was overjoyed. This was an extremely precious material.

He quickly mobilized the transport team of the Third Military Sub-district, and also assigned the First Battalion of the First Regiment as the accompanying escort team, to ensure that this batch of supplies was delivered directly to the military sub-district headquarters.

This kind of thing must be transported in strict secrecy, and vehicles cannot be changed during the journey to prevent any accidents. Once a problem occurs, the Eighth Route Army will suffer heavy losses.
