As the saying goes, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first. On the battlefield, the most important things for soldiers are in addition to weapons and ammunition, that is, rations, if they can't eat enough, who has the strength to go into battle and kill the enemy? Of course, the invincible Red Army soldiers are an exception, they eat grass roots and bark, mixed grains and wild vegetables, and exchange countless sacrifices for today's good times, they are real heroes, but this also reflects the importance of military food on the one hand, if there is enough military food, there will be fewer sacrifices of many people.
During World War II, the Nationalist army on the battlefield of China was often hungry, but the invading Japanese were abundantly supplied. Take the food of a Japanese soldier in the ordinary period as an example, rice: 640 grams, wheat 200 grams, canned meat 150 grams, dried vegetables 110 grams, etc., in addition to miso soup, sugar, biscuits, tobacco, alcohol, etc., officers can even enjoy chocolate, coffee and other popular goods. In many anti-war film and television dramas, we often see scenes of the Eighth Route Army capturing Japanese supplies, and the soldiers' favorite is the canned beef of the Japanese Kou.
At that time, there was basically no animal husbandry in Japan, and beef was purchased in large quantities from the United States. In the early days of the invasion of China, canned beef was definitely the best food for the Japanese army, and the American goods at that time were also sincere, and it was indeed a large piece of beef and a little vegetable that was genuine. This stuff is a hot commodity for our army, and the soldiers are generally reluctant to eat it after capture, and they have to wait until there is an important day to share it together. But as the war progressed, the soldiers slowly discovered that the captured canned beef gradually became disgusting and unpalatable.
It turned out that with the continuous growth of Japan's war and the scale of the army, the front line was gradually lengthened, the lack of national strength and resources was far from being able to support the original food level of the Japanese army, coupled with the deterioration of US-Japan relations, the United States no longer supplied beef and other items, and Japan's military supply really entered a difficult situation. The original luxurious canned beef, which has basically nothing to do with beef, is made with a little butter and beef blood mixed with multigrain vegetable leaves.
This kind of mixed canned beef does not have the taste of beef at all, and due to the poor production technology and sealing technology in Japan, the canned beef is spoiled and rotten during transportation, which is even worse than pig food. In a scene in "My Brother's Name is Shun slip", Chen Dalei ate the captured canned beef and directly spit it out, scolding: Little Japanese this beef is so unpalatable, is it a mule matched, right?
Our soldiers can even eat the bark of wild vegetable trees, but the "canned beef" of the Japanese army cannot be eaten, and it should be extremely difficult to eat! In 1943, the Japanese military ordered the Chinese dispatch army to implement the strategy of "feeding the war with war", that is, self-sufficiency, so we often see Japanese soldiers sweeping the village in film and television dramas, always catching chickens to eat first, which is hungry. In "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", Dead La once said a very reasonable sentence:
It's good to fight a war, and it's a poor thing to beat everyone up
！ Japan will be defeated, stay away from war!
