Chapter 571 The devil is here
"What? Is there anything I can't see?" Liu Gen asked with a smile.
After taking the dry food handed over by Captain Zhang, Liu Gen directly broke some of it hard. It was very hard. It was because Liu Gen had enough strength to break a piece of the dry food off.
Liu Gen put the dry food in his mouth and chewed it hard, which was a little hurting. After eating a piece of dry food, he felt his cheeks hurt a little. Liu Gen looked down at the dry food in his hand. The hard dry food that Captain Zhang and others ate was such a hard food, which was a bit too hard.
"Capital Commander Zhang, don't you have hot dry food? Why don't you eat hot?" Liu Gen couldn't help but ask.
Before Battalion Commander Zhang could speak, a company commander explained, "Comrade Liu Gen, you don't know that the tools in our hands are limited, and hot dry food needs to be divided into several times."
"The battalion commander is worried that the Japanese will attack, so he thinks to eat dry food directly. In this way, when the Japanese come, we can also have a certain combat power,"
Liu Gen nodded. He understood Battalion Commander Zhang’s thoughts and looked up at Battalion Commander Zhang and others. He was a little moved and ashamed.
After Battalion Commander Zhang and others fought such a cruel battle yesterday, he was unable to let Battalion Commander Zhang and others have a hot meal. How could he not be ashamed?
"Captain Zhang, don't eat these dry food for the time being."
"The soldiers in charge of the alert have not yet noticed that the Japanese troops are attacking, and there is still enough time for the comrades to have a hot meal." Liu Gen said very seriously.
Battalion Commander Zhang hurriedly said, "Comrade Liu Gen, most of the comrades can eat hot meals and don't have to make other meals on purpose. Comrades have long been used to it."
The other extremely company commanders and platoon leaders did not say anything, but they didn't want Liu Gen to do anything else, just a meal, just eat it simply. What's more, in such a war era, it would be a very good thing to be able to have a meal.
Liu Gen was a little helpless and wanted the soldiers to have a hot meal. He thought it was very simple, but Battalion Commander Zhang and others did not want him to do this. In this regard, Liu Gen didn't know what he should do to convince Battalion Commander Zhang and others.
"Okay, since you don't want to have hot meals, then I'll eat dry food with you!"
"Forget it this morning. At noon, I promise that all the comrades can have a hot meal and not let the soldiers fight on their empty stomachs!" Liu Gen bit a bite of dry food with an extremely firm expression.
Captain Zhang smiled and nodded. This time he did not refuse. He could give the soldiers a hot meal, which was what he wanted to see. Captain Zhang didn't know what Liu Gen would do, but he believed that with Liu Gen's ability, he would definitely be able to look at this goal.
After having breakfast with Captain Zhang and others, Liu Gen felt that his teeth seemed to have become sharper, and these were all tempered by dry food. If Liu Gen was asked to eat such dry food again, he would definitely be uneasy. With this experience, Liu Gen felt that he could eat any dry food.
"Bail Commander Zhang, continue to give the comrades in the infantry battalion a rest and hurry up for the treatment of the seriously injured."
"The comrades in the infantry battalion are all talents. We must minimize our casualties as much as possible. Otherwise, when we return to the division headquarters, Commander He will definitely punish us severely." Before leaving, Liu Gen explained again.
Liu Gen knew that even if he did not explain, Battalion Commander Zhang would attach importance to the treatment of seriously injured people. But now Liu Gen explained again, hoping that Battalion Commander Zhang would understand that for the infantry battalion, the most important thing now is to treat the seriously injured people, rather than preparing for battle.
Before the Japanese troops arrived, the infantry battalion would not have any chance to participate in the battle. According to Liu Gen's idea, he wanted to make the infantry battalion the biggest trump card in his hand. He also hoped that the infantry battalion could surprise the Japanese troops!
Captain Zhang didn't understand what Liu Gen meant very much. He just felt that Liu Gen attached great importance to the treatment of the wounded, and as for more things, he didn't notice at all.
After leaving the infantry battalion's garrison, Liu Gen did not return to the front line as soon as possible. He found the mayor of Nuanquan Town, hoping to pay for some food and vegetables, and hired the chef of Nuanquan Town to make some nutritious meals for the injured soldiers.
At the same time, Liu Gen also hopes that Nuanquan Town can provide the soldiers with enough hot rice and hot dishes, and he will pay for the corresponding ocean.
During the battle, Liu Gen obtained a lot of oceans. Originally, these oceans should have been sent back to the 120th Division, and then the division headquarters would uniformly allocate these oceans. But after seeing that the soldiers could not eat enough hot rice and hot dishes, Liu Gen felt that he needed to use these oceans.
Keeping these oceans in your hands can never create any value. Instead of doing so, it is better to use these oceans to exchange for enough hot rice and hot dishes for the soldiers, so that the masses in Nuanquan Town can make some money and the soldiers can also be in a better state to deal with the enemy's attack.
The mayor was very cooperative, especially after knowing that Liu Gen would pay the ocean, there was no problem. The mayor knew that even if the Eighth Route Army did not use the ocean, everyone was willing to do their best to help the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese.
It is only because the Eighth Route Army has always followed the principle of not taking the masses one by one, so the villagers of Nuanquan Town do not know how to help this Eighth Route Army unit.
Now that Liu Gen is coming to seek help, the mayor is naturally very welcome. He also hopes that the Eighth Route Army can guard Nuanquan instead of being retaken by the Japanese. Only in areas that have been truly ruled by the Japanese can they clearly understand the tyranny and inhumanity of the Japanese.
It can be said that the devils in Nuanquan Town have been suffering for a long time. Liu Gen and others arrived, which completely helped Nuanquan Town escape from the volcanic sea of suffering.
After solving the next meal problems of the soldiers, Liu Gen went to the defensive position on the front line of Nuanquan Town again. During this period, the soldiers of the artillery battalion who took over the defense were not idle. They once again strengthened the defense on the positions to ensure that they could persist in the attack of the Japanese.
"Captain Wang, let the comrades rest, don't keep strengthening the defensive positions."
"Don't forget, the Japanese still have fighter planes? Although the possibility of the Japanese using fighter planes when attacking Nuanquan Town is very small, it cannot be denied that there is such a possibility. Once the Japanese fighter planes are deployed, our defensive positions will inevitably become the target of the Japanese fighter planes."
"Besides, the vanguard of the Japanese army should arrive soon. Let the soldiers hurry up and rest and prepare for battle at any time." Liu Gen's expression was a little solemn. At this time, the Japanese army should be about to arrive.
Battalion Commander Wang nodded, waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers of the artillery battalion to stop and rest.
The soldiers in the artillery battalion had less than half an hour to rest, and the alert soldiers reported and found the traces of the vanguard troops. The Japanese were here!
