As he spoke, Lieutenant Zhang instructed the cook to bring up the stewed cabbage and tofu.

Because of the scarcity of supplies, the cook used the only piece of pork skin he had left, along with oil, to simmer it in the pot for a long time before he could barely extract some oil.

Carefully place the cabbage and tofu inside.

The soldiers' eyes widened when they saw these things. "Good heavens, Lao Liu, where did you find these cabbages?"

"These things are hard to find now, aren't they?"

Old Liu chuckled, "I had no idea. I was only focused on cooking. The ingredients for the cooking were all given to me by Lieutenant Zhang."

Upon hearing this, several pairs of eyes turned to look at Zhang, the adjutant.

Lieutenant Zhang's face hardened.

"Stop talking nonsense. Eat if you want, or give it to someone else. I'm not worried about shutting you up!"

Everyone shut up.

Some of the bolder ones chuckled and replied, "I won't ask anymore. These days, we can still eat cabbage stew with tofu, all thanks to the young marshal!"

"I knew following the young marshal would be a good decision!"

"Eat, eat, eat! Don't go hungry. Everyone should get a bowl, so you idiots won't get too craving."

Lieutenant Zhang chuckled.

Old Liu was holding an iron ladle, serving food to the soldiers who were lining up one by one.

Those who got the food didn't care about table manners; they squatted down and wolfed it down, making sounds of praise and satisfaction as they ate.

"good to eat!"

"This cabbage is so sweet."

"This tofu smells so good!"

"You know what, even though this cabbage doesn't have much oil, Old Liu cooked it really well, it smells amazing!"

"Come on, everyone knows what kind of background Old Liu came from. Back in the village, he could only work as a cook or a helper at best. He couldn't even become a head chef."

"It's just that we haven't had vegetables for a long time, so it tastes delicious."

"Don't even mention this plain stew; if I were starved for ten days or half a month, I'd find even steamed buns to be delicacies!"

"You've hit the nail on the head!"

That's not the case at all!

"Hey, when are we finally going to break out of this mountain city? I've been itching to grab a submachine gun and start killing those bastards!"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Zhang's eyes stung slightly, but his words were firm and resolute.

"Keep up the good work! In two or three days, we'll rest and regroup, and soon we'll be able to launch another attack and teach those little devils a lesson!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever Lieutenant Zhang says!"

The young soldier looked at Lieutenant Zhang with bright, admiring eyes.

Lieutenant Zhang felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Thinking of the complex situation in this mountain city, he turned and left.

"Delicious."

Arrive at the deployment room.

I spotted the tall, handsome man standing by the table at a glance.

The man, whose figure was as sturdy as a pine tree, was gazing intently at the supplies pouring out.

"Young Marshal!"

A pair of sharp, piercing eyes turned towards him, making Zhang's adjutant's heart skip a beat.

"The special tutoring has already started?"

"Yes, we used about three thousand catties of cabbage and one thousand catties of tofu."

"The remaining cabbage and tofu were put into the warehouse in the air-raid shelter. The temperature in the warehouse is relatively cold, so they should be able to be stored for a long time without spoiling."

"Ah."

Qin Lizhi responded.

Just then, Zhang, the adjutant, looked behind him and exclaimed in surprise!

"My God! Young Marshal, look what that is!"

Qin Lizhi narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that a military green color was constantly emerging from the location of the shrine!

His heart tightened.

He strode forward with long legs, picked something up from the ground, and saw that what he was holding in his hand was none other than a military overcoat!

He could hardly believe his eyes!

I never expected the goddess to be so thoughtful. She even knew they were short of supplies and sent them military overcoats!

With these military overcoats, his brothers who followed him into battle no longer had to endure the biting cold wind; they could be wrapped up in warm cotton overcoats.

Only when we are well-fed and warmly clothed can we have the strength to fight the Japanese invaders better!

"quick!"

"Lieutenant Zhang!"

Zhang, the adjutant, was even more excited than Qin Lizhi. His eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were sore that he was about to cry!

"Yes, young marshal, I am here!"

"Immediately get these military overcoats out of the country! Issue one to every soldier!"

"Yes, young marshal!"

Lieutenant Zhang was filled with excitement; he had never felt so thrilled before.

He felt the wind beneath his feet and, after leaving the deployment room, quickly grabbed a few soldiers who were about to faint from carrying supplies.

"quick!"

"Come with me immediately to move supplies!"

"what?"

Several people were dumbfounded!

If they were a little excited but exhausted while moving supplies, after nearly a few days of moving, all that was left was exhaustion!

"Lieutenant, please spare us. We may be young, but we're not made of iron. If we were, we'd be serving you every day."

"But we're so exhausted, we really have no strength left. Look at my arms, they're still trembling!"

"Let's get a different team!"

Lieutenant Zhang patted the soldier's arm, but wasn't angry when he was rejected.

He's laughed more times lately than he's ever laughed in his entire life; he's just so happy.

As long as the army has sufficient supplies, defeating the Japanese devils is just around the corner!

"You lazy, greedy, and cunning fellow, all you do is slack off. Fine, I'm not counting on you anymore. You find me a few reliable, tight-lipped people to come with me and help me move the supplies!"

The person Zhang, the adjutant, was speaking to was named Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng knew Zhang's temperament well, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.

"No problem, Lieutenant Zhang, but could you give us a little hint as to what supplies we're moving this time?"

"You want to know, kid?"

Lieutenant Zhang glanced at Zhou Cheng's tattered cotton-padded jacket and smiled even more smugly.

Zhou Cheng: "Of course I want to know."

"Then you'll go along and carry things. If you're not going to, shut up. This is military business, so I won't tell you anything!"

"cut!"

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly, "What's the use of keeping it a secret now? I'll find out soon enough."

"You little brat, you dare to talk back to me?"

Lieutenant Zhang pretended to hit someone.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's expression, he was so angry he laughed.

Zhou Cheng called a few people to help move things. He was too weak to move anything, but he had a gossipy nature. He waited outside the defense room for a short while and soon found out what was going to be moved.

"A military overcoat!"

"Heavens above!"

"We've been trapped in this mountain city for so long, and the young marshal not only has connections to get us food, but he can even get us military overcoats!"

"The feng shui master said that the young marshal was the pillar of our Republic of China, and he was absolutely right!"

"The young marshal is indeed incredibly capable!"

Zhou Cheng was deeply shocked.

That evening, all the soldiers received the news that the young marshal Qin Lizhi was going to distribute military overcoats to everyone!

Good heavens! This is like a godsend!
