However, no matter how Tang Dao complained in his heart, he still had to eat the potato banquet.

Didn’t you see that the three lieutenant generals of the mainland army ate half of a potato in one bite and made it smell like?

This is because I have become accustomed to eating potatoes! Tang Dao picked up a slice of potato slices fried in horse oil and put them in his mouth, but his eyes were more solemn.

The taste of potato chips is of course very ordinary. The craftsmanship of the Army Lieutenant General, who rarely works in kitchens, is secondary. All kinds of flavors are salty first. Even a dish has a light salty taste. How can the taste be good?

This shows that the military supplies are already scarce.

But this was indeed a bit beyond Tang Dao's expectations. He remembered that when he evacuated from Songjiang, because considering the raging war, the people along the way had to flee with their families, and it was difficult for the army to collect food on the spot, so he used many methods to take away the food stored in the former Songjiang City.

Songjiang City is originally rich, with a large amount of rice, white flour and salt storage. The army has more than 20,000 people, except for carrying ammunition and food. It has only been more than ten days since then, so why is the supplies so scarce?

"Sir, this..." Tang Dao thought about it and then, but he couldn't help it. He stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked.

The three army lieutenant generals who were happily eating potatoes all smiled bitterly on their faces.

"You doll, this is a celebration banquet for you. Why do you think that this potato is not good! The whole army has been eating for several days. In this era, it would be great if you can eat it." The bearded uncle glared at first, expressing his dissatisfaction with Tang Dao, the guest who stopped chopsticks.

However, what Tang Dao saw in the eyes of this "Tiehan Han" was obviously not angry, but apology, and a strong apology.

Because that was not only an apology to Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue, two young people who were considered guests.

That's for the entire Songjiang Army.

"Oh!" General Wu also put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Tang Dao with a puzzled look, and sighed.

"Forget it, I won't hide it from you. The military supplies are indeed not enough. The number of refugees I encountered on the way is beyond our imagination! Even if I don't care about it because of the military emergency, it's my Chinese people after all!"

"I am in charge of logistics distribution, Commander Wu, please let me tell me!" Lieutenant General Guo also had a bitter face and said, "However, reporter Dan Tai, you can't write these in your battlefield diary. It's not because military secrets are not military secrets, but because of the sufferings of the people caused by the war. I really can't bear to witness them!"

"Before the Battle of Shanghai, millions of refugees migrated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and after the Battle of Pingjin, there were as many as millions of refugees who moved from the north to Shanghai capital. Some of them poured into the concession before the war, but more of them had to choose to leave. Japanese military aircraft bombed the two most important railway stations in the Shanghai market. The refugees could only rely on their feet to migrate south, but how fast could they go if they were short of clothes and food? There were only two roads to the south, one from Kunshan to Jinling, and the other naturally came from here." Lieutenant General Guo said this, his eyes were already shining with luster.

"When our army arrived here, there were still tens of thousands of people carrying the elderly and helping the young in Jiashan County, all of which were people who had already exhausted their money and food. When our army arrived, countless people were watching us, and they didn't even have the strength to beg. The weak elderly, weak women and children were even more angry.

Tang Dao, do you know that when a woman who is over 20 years old is unable to produce milk for her March child who has not eaten for a long time, she is forced to kneel on the road and can give her a bite of food and take her away. I, a general in the army who claims to be able to command tens of thousands of troops, is also a father with several children. What was the feeling in my heart at that time?

You are not a general, and you are not a father, you may not understand. But my heart really hurts at that moment, it hurts so much. If it weren't for this war initiated by the Japanese, she should have teased the children under the shade of the trees, waiting for her husband to return when she was working outside, and then helped her husband brush off the ashes on his shoulders and wiped the sweat on his forehead and face for her husband. The family of three was in a happy mood!

But all this was gone! The child in her arms had no strength to cry, she was so hungry that she was pale and thin, and her husband didn't know where he went. I didn't even dare to ask if her husband was a soldier, whether he was in the north or in the southeast battlefield, if he knew that his wife and children were only seeking a mouthful of rice to survive on the way of the army, what kind of mood would he feel like!"

This may be a rare moment of emotion for Lieutenant General Guo, who has always been calm and profound, and he is already choked and unable to say this.

Although Dan Tai Mingyue is not inferior to a man's heroic spirit, she is actually an extremely emotional person. Otherwise, she would not have such touching words in her writing. When she heard these, she would naturally burst into tears.

Why is her country, her people, no, their country, their people, so miserable!

War belongs to men.

But women and children have never been allowed to walk away.

The country and the country have always been one and closely related!

The two lieutenant generals Wu and Gu also had dim eyes, even dim than hearing the Japanese army attack. When the Japanese army attacked, they could still pick up the guns in their hands and fight to the death, but just a death. But what can these generals do when facing such suffering people?

"Hey! Brother Guo is compassionate and has taken out nearly 150,000 kilograms of rice and flour to relieve the danger of refugees stranded in Jiashan. However, the entire army is in such a food shortage situation. I blame my 128th Division for dragging everyone down!" Uncle Beard couldn't help but speak.

It turned out that 150,000 kilograms of rice and flour were given to nearly 30,000 refugees. On average, 5 kilograms per person could allow these refugees to walk at least 300 kilometers with wild vegetables. When they arrived at the big city behind, they could still get some relief and not starved to death on the way. Lieutenant General Guo, who had carefully calculated, still left enough food for the 20,000 troops in Songjiang for half a month.

However, unexpectedly, there was still an infantry division waiting for him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The 128th Division of the Hunan Army has not received the supplies sent by the War Zone Command for almost a month. These days, they have been dependent on the potatoes prepared when they set out from Jinling to feed.

If you want a horse to run, how can you not eat grass? Suddenly, Xiao Yiwan has a mouth that needs to be eaten. After these two tricks, the Songjiang Army had enough supplies, how dare you give the whole army either bakes or dried meat, and also match horse broth like before?

As soon as they entered the defense line, the entire army began to enter the saving mode. Essential food such as white flour and rice will only be provided to officers and soldiers entering the front-line trenches. The remaining armies, including commands at all levels and the front-line highest command, only provide potatoes to maintain basic survival needs.

If that is not the case, I am afraid that the war will not be over and this person will have no food. The 30,000 army can die on the battlefield, but must not starve to death in the trenches.

"Brother Gu, you and my army will fight against Japan side by side, how can you say that there is a drag? Also, Brother Guo, it is not your only idea to take out a military posture to provide refugees with a retreat in the south. Don't feel guilty anymore. What's wrong with potatoes? This thing is quite hungry, and I can eat a bowl of rice. I feel comfortable." General Wu glanced at the two colleagues who were guilty and said disapprovingly, then looked at Tang Dao with his eyes and knocked on the table with chopsticks:

"Don't blame me for being stingy, you kid, just make the first contribution and have a face for us. Otherwise, there are a few dishes of potatoes for you. It would be good to give you one more potato. Just this jar of wine, I will go to the medical team to exchange it for two taels of jerky that my guards have collected. Do you like to drink it?"

"Sir, I heard that you are addicted to eating potatoes? Is he just liked it?" Tang Dao looked at the hard-working first commander with some amusement.

"What, I like it!" General Wu Zhong ate half of the roasted potato in his hand with a mouthful of pounding, his cheeks were bulging.

It means that it is really fragrant.

"Well, it's raining heavily! Come in." Tang Dao shouted outside.

Xia Dayu trotted in.

"Go and bring in the gift I prepared for the sir!"

"yes!"

"You kid has learned bad things and started to learn to give gifts! I won't eat that!" The Army Lieutenant General, who was stuffed with half a potato, waved his hand.

"Not money!"

"Please come in, Jun Wu doesn't want it, I want it!" Lieutenant General Guo's head was definitely enough, and his eyes were shining.

"Brother Guo, you..." Uncle Bearded looked full of regret.

Where did the army leader who looked so compassionate just now go? Why are he so greedy! He even needs to be so calm when he asks for gifts.

After 30 seconds!

"Hey! Good thing!" Uncle bearded was a cheetah.
