When they first left Sichuan, they brought some dried chili peppers with them. However, after so many years, even if they were frugal, those dried chili peppers would eventually be eaten up. The chili pepper production here is originally small and the price is very expensive. The Sichuan Army's limited funds are basically used to buy weapons and ammunition, or at least to buy food to fill their stomachs, and they are reluctant to buy chili peppers.

Moreover, if chili peppers are added to the dishes, they will definitely taste much better and more delicious, so the soldiers will eat more. The general army cannot supply enough food, so it is better to make the food a little less tasty, which will save supplies.

At this time, Captain Fan no longer cared about what the Sichuanese said. He just kept putting food into his mouth, even the spicy dried chili peppers were not spared. For those who like spicy food, anything with chili peppers is delicious.

After finishing two large bowls of rice, he felt a little full, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then said a little embarrassedly:

"Commander Yun Yuan, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit. The main reason is that the food today was so delicious, and there was so much chili in the meal, it was really extravagant."

"To be honest, we've never had such delicious food since our group left Sichuan. You actually put so much lard in the stir-fried vegetables. It's simply too extravagant. You know, we basically don't eat this kind of vegetables. We have to buy them. We usually eat wild vegetables from the fields, and we rarely use chili peppers."

"Today's meal is the most delicious meal I've had in recent years. It's worth remembering for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Commander Yun politely said, "This is the standard rations our Eighth Route Army receives during battle. Since our goal this time is to encircle the enemy, the standards have been lowered accordingly. If the enemy and I engage in a head-on battle of positional attack and defense, and the rear forces can't get hot meals delivered, we'll only be able to eat canned meat and compressed biscuits. Those bites of meat and compressed biscuits are incredibly delicious."

Hearing this, Captain Fan felt hungry again. Such treatment was something they could not even imagine in their Sichuan Army Corps.

Commander Yun continued, "I heard you Sichuanese love to eat rabbit meat. It's a pity our troops don't have canned rabbit meat in stock. It's okay to eat on a daily basis, but it's not as nutritious as canned pork or chicken on the battlefield."

"But I've already sent a telegram to my superiors. They'll be sending a batch of canned rabbit meat in about two or three days. If you stir-fry it with chili peppers, it'll taste really good."

Hearing that he would be able to taste the flavors of his hometown in a few days, Captain Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. For a soldier who has been fighting outside for many years and has made the world his home, this may be the best reward.

Then, Captain Fan specifically asked, "Commander Yun, there's a question in my mind that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Now is the perfect time to ask you. I hope you can fulfill my wish."

"Don't be so polite, we are friendly forces, feel free to ask any questions you have."

"Then I won't be polite. I often hear people say that various animals often appear in your Eighth Route Army base area at regular intervals. I wonder if there is any pattern to this?"

In fact, regarding this issue, many people want to find the pattern in it, and even want to plan ahead to gain some benefits from it. After all, this involves hundreds of millions of kilograms of meat, and it happens frequently.

It's a pity that in this situation, many forces and everyone has spent a huge price, and the results obtained are also varied. Although they have some reference value, they are really not much.

The only thing that everyone can confirm at the moment is that there is no pattern in this matter at all, and as long as we resolutely fight against the invaders, there will be opportunities to appear.

In addition to the Eighth Route Army bases where they appeared more frequently, they also occurred from time to time in the territories of the Sichuan Army, Guangxi Army, Yunnan Army, Shaanxi Army and even the Central Army.

This is where Kong Hao's brilliance lies. He can take care of his own people and provide certain material support to the troops that actually fight the Japanese devils, without causing dissatisfaction among other forces.

After all, everyone has a share in this kind of good thing. If you get less, it only proves that you are always thinking about preserving your strength and dare not take the initiative to attack the enemy.

Commander Yun could only smile and answer truthfully, "Captain Fan, to be honest, I don't know how to answer your question. After all, no one from our military sub-district has ever appeared. It's just that when I was at a meeting at the military sub-district, the leaders took the opportunity to inform me about it."

"The strange thing about this kind of thing is that it appears randomly, but once it appears once, it will continue to appear, it's just a matter of how long it will last."

"For example, Lao Zhang from our Fifth Military Division had a great opportunity right after his unit was redeployed. He immediately secured over 500 fat rabbits, 20 wild boars, and 30 sheep. These fed Lao Zhang's 4,000-plus men for a week straight, and the soldiers were incredibly happy."

"The most bizarre thing about this kind of thing is that once it happens within the jurisdiction, even if the troops are stationed elsewhere, this kind of good luck will follow. It's as if there is a divine will in the dark, and the ancient sages of China are secretly rewarding those heroes who sincerely fight against the Japanese."

"If that were all, I wouldn't have anything to say, but my troops fought the Japs without hesitation, yet it seems as if our ancestors didn't see them. They just didn't appear near our military sub-district."

Regarding this matter, the Sichuan Army has actually conducted similar tests. At first, everyone thought that this good thing happened because the geographical location of that place was better.

So, with the approval of the superiors, the troops where a large number of animals appeared were transferred out of the defense zone, and moved far away, and then a new troop was transferred from other places in an attempt to get a share of the pie.

After all, this kind of good thing is so rare. Getting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of meat in one night is an extremely terrifying harvest for an army.

Not only the Sichuan Army, but also the Shaanxi Army, Guangxi Army, Guangdong Army, etc. have conducted similar tests. Even Commander Yan's favorite general, Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade was not immune. Almost everyone wanted to solve this unsolved mystery.

Once someone seizes the initiative, not only will they be able to obtain massive amounts of supplies in a short period of time, but their external influence will also increase rapidly. This is what the people now recognize.

The final result was that this great thing was only linked to the corresponding army. The troops in the replacement jurisdiction waited foolishly in their original place for more than half a month, and nothing happened.

On the contrary, no matter how far the troops were transferred, even to other provinces, as long as the time came, a large number of animals would still emerge, making it impossible for people to refuse even if they wanted to.

The next thing will be easy. Since this matter is done to the wrong person and the wrong place, it means that even if someone wants to claim the credit, they cannot do it. Everything depends on strength. What belongs to you is yours and no one can take it away from you.

If you want to get this kind of reward, then go and beat the Japanese devils as hard as you can, the harder the better. As for other crooked ways, don't even think about it.
