In 1937, the Japanese army launched a war, and from that time on the Japanese army began a full-scale war of aggression. Do you know what is most important in war? Some people will definitely say that of course soldiers are the most important, how can there be no soldiers to fight? In fact, this statement is also true, but I think that the most important thing in a war is food. If there is no food, the soldiers do not have enough to eat, how to take the gun? How to fight?
In 1938, based on the Japanese army's nearly one-year combat experience in China, the Japanese army issued a guideline, which was actually a new adjustment to the rations of Japanese soldiers at that time. Let's first take a look at the daily food of ordinary Japanese soldiers at that time, although in the era of war, their food was quite rich, not only staple food but also side food, specific seasonings also have very clear regulations.
So to a certain extent, where is the food in the war, it is simply the level of the local tycoons. These foods are obviously several times better than ordinary people. And most importantly they have meat at almost every meal. There are two standards for the rations of ordinary Japanese soldiers. One is to eat when there is no war, the other is to eat when fighting, the two kinds of food are not much different, and some biscuits and canned side foods will be added when fighting. Their daily meals are strictly distributed, and the variety of food is very large.
So we can see that the Japanese army's good food is a mess, in fact, just mentioned, that is, the Japanese army can eat meat almost every day, and this meat is still fresh meat, not jerky or canned, here someone should be very curious, their country is obviously far away, shipped from the country is obviously not very practical, long-term transportation plus limited conditions for value preservation, even if it is transported, it is probably impossible to eat. The Japanese army ate meat all the time, and the children knew where the meat came from, but people just didn't want to believe it.
In fact, the fresh meat they ate was taken from Chinese hands. In some areas controlled by puppet armies, they cannot rob directly because of the principle of common prosperity in East Asia. They thought of buying in a way. They exchange worthless military tickets for some food, which is no different from snatching. However, if it was in other areas, the Japanese army would not be so merciful. They will rob chickens, ducks, pigs and cows for them to eat by way of snatching.
According to some sources, at that time, the Japanese army would carry out a frenzied massacre every time they went to a place, and then they would rob a large amount of food, which was used to improve their food. So at this point, everyone should know why in such a difficult era, the Japanese army can eat meat every day, they are using plunder, and this can be reflected in many of today's anti-war dramas.
