Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 518 Even if Zhao Gang says anything, I will still take this wine back!

At 15: in the evening, Lin Zhenhua arrived on time to meet up with Li Yunlong. After the two sides met up, they did not stop, but quickly left Erlipu and marched towards Panjia Town. Just one hour after leaving Erlipu, they encountered a squadron of Japanese soldiers. Facing the fierce attack of the armored regiment, they did not even hold out for minutes and were all annihilated.

The troops did not stop after the battle, but simply cleaned up the battlefield, buried the bodies of the devils at random, and began to march towards Yangjiagou. According to the retreat route planned by Li Yunlong, they will stay in Yangjiagou for a day and start marching at night, so as to avoid being discovered by the devils to the greatest extent.

After seven hours of rapid march, the troops finally arrived at Yangjiagou at 4:30 in the morning. At this time, the sky was already foggy and it would be dawn in another hour. Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, the soldiers quickly got off the car and used branches and grass to camouflage the car. The kitchen team immediately started to prepare breakfast and specially burned some charcoal so that they could boil some hot water for the soldiers to drink at noon.

The soldiers worked until dawn to build the base, and all the vehicles were camouflaged so that no problems could be found from the air. The kitchen staff also prepared meals at this time. The breakfast was very simple, with two cans of food per person and a piece of compressed biscuit to ensure that everyone was full.

"Old Li, hurry up and come over for dinner. You can have a good rest after dinner. The soldiers have not had a good sleep after several days of rapid march. It's a good opportunity for them to have a good rest. We brought a lot of canned food from Taiyuan city this time, so the soldiers can have a good meal. We also brought a few big fat pigs with us. They were tied up and thrown into the carriage. We will kill them and eat the meat at night. It's a good opportunity to have a good feast." Lin Zhenhua said cheerfully.

Li Yunlong took the two cans and a compressed biscuit handed over by Lin Zhenhua, opened them immediately, put the compressed biscuit into the can, added hot water into it, and started to eat it with the canned beef and fish.

Zhao Gang also rushed over at this time and took the food handed over by Lin Zhenhua. He ate more politely, soaked the compressed biscuits in hot water, and then ate the opened canned beef and fish in small bites.

"College student, I just checked and found that the canned food we seized from Taiyuan Airport and Taiyuan City alone totaled 150,000, which is a huge amount. In order to bring more canned food out of the city, the soldiers really showed their abilities. I was stunned by what they saw."

"But we can't let the soldiers do this. It will have a lot of impact on combat. There are a lot of canned food in the cockpits of our tanks and armored vehicles. That's not enough. They also hang cloth bags on the tanks. Some soldiers even hang cloth bags on the gun barrels. This will greatly affect the use of weapons. We have to solve it as soon as possible."

"I have arranged for people to collect all the canned food. Some of it was sent to the transport battalion to ensure the soldiers' daily meat supply. The rest was eaten directly. Nearly 20,000 canned food was consumed this morning alone. Three meals a day will consume 60,000 canned food. It is estimated that within three days, the extra 150,000 canned food can be consumed."

"Also, there's the beef that Lao Li got. It's been marinated all day last night, so we have to cook it today. The kitchen team wants to roast it, but roasting it will easily produce smoke. I plan to have the kitchen team stew it, so that each soldier can get half a catty of beef and a bowl of beef soup, which will make the compressed biscuits taste better."

"As for the batch of red wine and sake seized by Lao Li, I think there is no need to keep them. We can just discard them. If we transport them, they will take up too much space. The troops cannot drink at this time. Carrying these burdens will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. It is better to destroy them."

Li Yunlong, who was eating, was immediately annoyed when he heard this. He angrily scolded, "Old Zhao, you son of a bitch, are you targeting me on purpose? Everyone in our armored regiment knows that I love to drink, but you want to destroy all the wine that we confiscated with great difficulty. Aren't you deliberately trying to seduce me?"

"I, Li Yunlong, will never agree with you doing this. These things were captured from the devils with great effort. They are real merits and spoils of war. You want to destroy them all. Isn't this denying my victory?"

"Anyway, even if you say anything, I'm going to take these wines back. I promised Zhang Dabiao before that I would give him two bottles of red wine and six bottles of sake. If all these wines are destroyed by you, Old Zhao, where can I get so much wine? You should know that I promised not just one or two people before, but more than a dozen people in total. Thirty percent of this batch of seized wine has been promised to others. I, Li Yunlong, have never broken my promise in front of my brothers. You, Old Zhao, are trying to make me slap myself in the face. I will never allow you to do this!"

Li Yunlong didn't even eat his meal and started to reason with Zhao Gang. He had made up his mind that if Zhao Gang didn't give up this idea, he would have to have a good talk with Zhao Gang. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Zhenhua swallowed the beef he was chewing, coughed lightly and persuaded: "Old Li, don't be anxious, Old Zhao just said that, the matter has not been decided yet, and now it's just a discussion. We have to allow others to express different opinions, and we can't have a one-man show!"

"I know a lot about red wine and steak. The Japanese navy and air force particularly like this tune, but I think we can't learn this. Can we not fight without red wine and steak? I see that our own pilot training is still very successful, and the pilots fighting in the air are also very brave. As for the saying that drinking red wine can improve the flexibility of fingers and make it easier to win air battles, this is complete nonsense."

"As for eating steak to resist the cold at high altitudes, this is completely nonsense. We must not be led astray by the Japanese. On weekdays, pilots eat the same food as other troops. No one in our base has any special treatment, but this still does not affect the combat effectiveness of our air force battalion."

"I don't think you two need to have such a big disagreement on the issue of red wine and sake. If conditions permit, we'll take it. If not, we won't. Don't bring the devils into the story. If we want to learn, we'll learn the good things, and we definitely can't learn the bad things."

Li Yunlong had a sullen look on his face. Last night, he asked Lin Zhenhua why there were so many red wines and steaks at the Japanese airport. At that time, Lin Zhenhua didn't care and just said a few words casually. He didn't expect that it would cause a conflict between Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Li Yunlong felt very wronged. He really didn't want to drink red wine and eat steak. He was just curious about the matter. Especially after learning that the Japanese navy did the same thing, he felt particularly strange. Could there be some secret here?

"College student, you should know what kind of person I, Li Yunlong, am after spending so much time with me. I have never made mistakes on major issues. Drinking red wine and eating steak was not something I came up with. It was that bastard monk who started it all."

"I don't know how this matter got spread, and it became what it is today. In order to calm public opinion, Lao Zhao proposed destroying the red wine and sake at this time. In fact, I think there is no need for us to pay too much attention to this matter. The brothers just took it as a joke and didn't care about it as much as we thought."

"Monk, you son of a bitch, what are you still standing there for? Come over here and tell the truth! I know you like to gossip the most. Did you spread this matter?"

Monk Wei scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a pleading look on his face: "Captain, I was just bragging. Who would have thought that the soldiers below would actually believe it. But not many people knew about this matter, and I didn't know that it became known to everyone after just one night. This time it's my fault. I will go and explain it to my brothers now..."

Li Yunlong interrupted Monk Wei in a bad mood and angrily cursed: "Monk, you son of a bitch, be careful next time, don't be so careless and say whatever you want. You are such a good talker, you even said that the Japanese can grow taller by drinking red wine and eating steak, you are really a talent."

Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua couldn't help laughing. They never thought that Monk Wei was so active in his daily life. It really surprised them.

Lin Zhenhua stepped out at the right time to smooth things over and said, "Old Li, let's cook the steak into beef and eat it all. As for the red wine and sake, it's really hard to handle, mainly because the alcohol content of these things is too low, and you won't get much alcohol after distillation. But it's better to have it than not. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. Let's do it the same way as before, distill these wines once, and keep them for you to satisfy your cravings."

"Old Zhao, let's handle this matter the way I said. There's no need to dwell on it. We need to discuss the future marching route!"
