"Okay, I am determined to execute the orders." Zhao Lan nodded and said, "But before turning around, can you give your brothers a full meal?"

Tao Liu and Zhong Guangren looked at each other, and their faces collapsed instantly.

In theory, Zhao Lan’s request is really not an exaggeration, he just wants a full meal.

Brothers, please put your head on your belt and fight and kill the Japanese. Shouldn’t you make a full meal?

However, the problem is that they really can't produce food. Although it is already July, the early rice grains for the first season of this year have not been collected yet.

Even if they collected it, their 10th Army would not be able to distribute much kilogram of military rations.

The military rations assigned to the 62nd Division were even smaller, less than 500,000 kilograms!

Just 500,000 kilograms, more than 9,000 officers and soldiers in the division were evenly divided, and each person only had only 70 kilograms of food!

Moreover, this is still rice, not rice. After the rice is crushed into rice, it will still be at least 40% of the loss. Although the remaining chaff, or bran, can be eaten, it is bran after all.

Just this, it cannot be divided by the head.

Because the funds allocated by the War Zone Chief Officer not only made it difficult for all the military pay for the officers and soldiers of the division to be paid on time, but even the funds used to purchase military supplies were severely short of funds.

Other military supplies can be saved, but shoes and clothing really cannot be saved.

For example, shoes, even straw sandals require money to buy. Now it is difficult to guarantee even one pair of straw sandals per person. How to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops in this situation?

Therefore, we can only pick out some military rations from the officers and soldiers, sell them for money and then use them to buy shoes and clothes.

So now, the military supplies of their 62nd Division really have no food, really no more.

Seeing Tao Liu and Zhong Guangren not saying anything, Zhao Lan said with a bitter face: "Minister seat, deputy teacher seat, can only eat two meals a day. If you stay in the barracks and don't come out, it's okay, but now you have to march and you have to rush back to Ciwu Town before dark. The brothers really can't stand it, really can't stand it!"

Zhong Guangren exchanged his eyes with Tao Zhan and said, "Master, why don't you go and borrow some food from the nearby fellow villagers?"

Tao Liu said angrily: "The officers had to borrow it long ago, but they didn't borrow it at all. The people had already hidden their rations. Unless they were robbed, they would not be able to borrow food at all."

After hearing this, Zhong Guangren's face showed a look of embarrassment.

Since they entered Zhejiang Province in the winter of the 26th year of the Republic of China, countless IOUs have been made to the people of Zhejiang Province, but none of them have been cashed out, so the people now hate them.

For example, this time, their 62nd Division headed south to Zhuji, and there was no smoke coming from the village along the way, for fear that they would see the smoke going to borrow food.

Not only that, the people even hid their food, preventing them from being protected from thieves.

You know, some officers in some units really dare to rob and even kill people. For example, in Henan, Tang Enbo's troops often do this, so the people hate Tang Enbo's troops even more than the Japanese. So in the 44-year Henan-Hunan-Guangxi War, the people in Henan actually helped the Japanese devils fight the national army!

Of course, Tang Enbo's troops rob not only of food, but also of the old man's longevity materials.

What do you do if you snatch it? Of course, it’s selling money and doing business. These woods are worth a lot of money.

Tang Enbo even wrote in his diary proudly that he would make a profit of 200 million yuan this year (1944). These 200 million yuan were all obtained by plundering people's wealth. How can the people not hate him?

As a result, Tang Enbo became one of the four major harms of water, drought, locust soup.

But Tao Liu and Zhong Guangren are not as cold-blooded as Tang Enbo after all.

Therefore, they can't do anything like robbing soldiers and robbing grain.

Just when Tao Liu and Zhong Guangren were speechless, a noise suddenly broke out in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were originally parked on the road sat on the ground one after another.

Zhong Guangren and Tao Liu rushed forward and found that the officers and soldiers had already known that they were about to return to Shiwu on the same route, so they were in an uproar.

I went back and forth without giving me enough food.

Who the hell can bear this? Can't bear it!

"Damn it, I won't leave anymore, I won't leave anymore!"

"That's right, if you don't leave, you'll shoot me if you have sex."

"I'm not going to fight the Japanese on my belt, so why don't I have a full meal?"

"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Is Principal Chang even worse than the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"

"The commander allocates so much funds every year and the people of Zhejiang Province pay so much food every year. I don't believe it. It's not the turn of our soldiers in the national army to have a few full meals!"

The news spread rapidly to the entire group.

After a while, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment stopped doing it.

Not only the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment, but also the chefs and grooms of the division headquarters were no longer doing it.

Looking at the officers and soldiers all over the floor, Zhong Guangren and Liao Liu's eyes were dull and helpless.

Zhao Lan begged: "There are also the deputy master's seats. You can just add some food and let your brothers have a full meal."

Tao Liu's eyes flashed over his and Zhong Guangren's mount, and a decisive look flashed through his eyes and said, "Captain Zhao, kill me and Deputy Commander Zhong's mount, and then ask the brothers to dig some wild vegetables and cook them into a few large pots first, so that the brothers cans can be eaten with full no matter what!"

"Ah, kill the horse?" Zhao Lan was a little stunned.

Horses are precious to the troops.

At this moment, a communications consultant rushed over.

"Teacher!" Running to Tao Liu, the communications officer said, "The General Staff of the Front Enemy of Yinjiang is urgently telegram."

"I don't listen!" Tao Liu was furious and said angrily, "I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I don't have time to listen to the command of the blind Kiba, who is surnamed Zhong, if you have the ability, he will bring me tens of thousands of kilograms of food first!"

The communications officer uttered lightly and said, "Master, what he is talking about is the matter of supplies."

"What? Supply?" Tao Liu's expression moved violently and snatched the telegram.

After reading the telegram in a hurry, a hint of joy appeared between Tao Liu's eyebrows.

Zhong Guangren asked, "The master seems to be very happy. What did my book say?"

"Good thing, good thing." Tao Liu handed the telegram to Zhong Guangren, saying, "Chief Zhong has prepared 500,000 kilograms of cornmeal for our 62nd Division. The convoy for transporting grain has set off from Yinjiang. The first batch of 50,000 kilograms will be delivered tomorrow!"

From Ciwu Town to Yinjiang, it will only take more than 200 miles to go, and you will arrive quickly by bicycle.

"It's so good! It's really raining in time!" Zhong Guangren was also happy and said, "Chief Staff Zhong has really helped us a lot."

Because they were in a good mood, the two of them also became the chief of staff of Zhong Yi.
