Abstract: There is a saying that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the supply of the Chinese army was more difficult, and many troops did not say meat, and even meals could not be guaranteed to be full. However, in this way, the military strength at that time was greater than that of modern people, is this statement true or false?
There is a saying that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the supply of the Chinese army was more difficult, and many troops could not say meat, and even food could not be guaranteed to be full. However, in this way, the military strength at that time was greater than that of the generation, is this statement true or false?
Although people have individual differences so much that this situation occurs, as far as the general situation is concerned, people who have long-term chronic hunger have greater strength than modern people, and they are much larger, which is obvious nonsense.
Many modern people have been living in the ivory tower for more than ten years, doing mental work, you feel that the long-term lack of exercise, so the strength is very small, but it is a long-term non-exercise crowd, relying on five big and three thick, thick bones, developed muscles and flesh talent on the strength of many people. Among the people of manual labor and heavy physical labor, compared with the soldiers of the Nationalist Army during the War of Resistance, they were bullying people. Modern professional strength athletes, repeatedly breaking world records, for the glory of the country, this is always well documented, right? This kind of athlete, probably a prefectural-level city-level professional sports team, took to the 1940s, saying that they were conservative in every way. There has never been any data or event that can show that the soldiers who did not have enough to eat in that era were more powerful than modern people.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that soldiers eat grain, and there is a saying that the three armies have not moved, and grain and grass have taken the lead. During World War II, China's military was complex, and some warlord forces were even very antiquated organizational structures. However, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, this is the bottom line of all armies, idle in peacetime, do not give enough to eat, you do not expect soldiers to practice; in wartime do not give soldiers enough to eat, do not expect soldiers to fight for you. At that time, yuan shikai was such a powerful figure, not enough to pull out silver, still don't want to let the soldiers below move.
During the war period, the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army were all in a very difficult stage, and the ideological education work was effective, and everyone knew why they were fighting. It is not false that there are many times when there is not enough to eat, and this is not false. However, we cannot ignore the logistical efforts made by the organization to do everything possible, nor can we ignore the selfless support of the ordinary people in the base areas of the Liberated Areas. It was common for warriors to eat almost and more coarse grains. But when fighting, normal can still manage to be full. By the time of the Liberation War, the small carts of grain transported by the former migrant workers could already use millions of troops, from the Liaoshen Campaign to the Jianghuai Campaign.
In ancient history, ancient Roman soldiers were said to eat wheat cakes as a staple food, not meat, and could best maintain physical endurance. From the Middle Ages to the modern Napoleonic period in the Middle East, the Mamluk slave soldiers who had been raised were also castrated from an early age, with their teeth removed, and their meals were eaten by special attendants who fed wheat paste mixed with vegetables and fruits with wooden spoons. Do not eat meat, but also very good at fighting, the Middle East, whether foreign wars or civil wars, in those hundreds of years, basically to see who has the number of Mamluk soldiers under them. People eat vegetarian food, eat less or even no protein, whether it does not affect physical strength, endurance play, these can be left to debate. Whatever you give the soldiers to eat, you have to feed them, that's for sure, biological science has proven that once a person is hungry, he consumes his own fat, without fat consumption, he consumes muscle, followed by organ tissue, and once at this point, it is irreversible physical damage.
In the era of domestic warlord melee, the intensity of the war was not high, and the poor physical fitness of the soldiers was not obvious, and by the War of Resistance Against Japan, many Chinese soldiers had been in a state of chronic hunger for a long time by grasping Zhuang Ding, and they had not eaten a few full meals to feed themselves, so they went to the battlefield. Such a person's health is different from that of a person who can basically eat enough, the battlefield conditions are not allowed, and the logistics cannot be sent up and hungry for three days. The degree of physical weakness is difficult for modern people to imagine - modern people eat until they die, which is called strange, because before it will be uncomfortable, and then vomit, so that they continue to eat, there is a possibility of dying. And long-term chronic hunger people, two pounds of rice, will let him in the comfort of full food to support death, such people eat, if the inexperienced people next to control, a few can eat a few!
On the battlefield, such a person, whether he marches with the wind when he is victorious or flees all the way when he is defeated, often runs and runs not far before he falls to the ground and dies, will freeze to death in the spring and autumn night, and will be easily beaten to death... In short, it is fragile like paper, and any intense internal and external injury will cause death, and there is no tolerance at all. How can it be more powerful than modern people? At that time, the Japanese soldiers were very good at fighting bayonets, and although there was a factor of adequate training; it was also very important because the Nutritional Level of the Japanese at that time was higher than ours, and although they were small, their bodies were also thick and strong.
In the memoirs of many veterans, the Japanese soldiers fight with bayonets fiercely and powerfully, and the strength of people, in the final analysis, is the role of muscles and muscles, without these foundations, there is no strength. No matter how bitter the ancient peasants were, they all knew how to drink a little and save a little, and when they were busy, they had to eat dry rice to have strength. Isn't it a joke to say out of thin air that the hungry soldiers were more powerful than modern people? Yes, now there are young men with the same flowers, but such a young man does not have the same strength as a hundred pounds when he is not artificial, and he may not be able to practice after being beaten by life.
The Red Army has a force that forcibly marched two hundred and fifty miles in three days, which became a legend, but do not think that the Red Army is in difficult conditions, these warriors did this with a hungry stomach. Those were all well-known elite units of the Red Army, and in peacetime everyone should save money, but also ensure that they ate well, try to allocate the best weapons, and ration them with sufficient ammunition. At that time, there was no concept of special forces, but the tasks they did were basically in the field of special operations. The special soldiers in the troops today, if nothing else, have special management of food, scientific and balanced nutrition, and how to eat in any situation, they have begun to rely on the standards of professional athletes' sports diet; it is generally balanced with ordinary troops, and the extensive food that is large and full is not the same.
What work to do, what to eat. What to eat, what to do. What hungry soldier's strength is greater than that of modern people, and it sounds very anti-human.
