Through the unremitting efforts of the logistics supply department, the individual field rations equipped with our army have long bid farewell to a handful of fried noodles and a mouthful of snow, a difficult and difficult era. After the outbreak of the self-defense counterattack war in 79 years, China's first generation of field dry food with 761 compressed rations played a vital role in the war, of course, all kinds of military canned food as the main source of protein or vitamins also provided sufficient material guarantee for the victory of the war.
According to the different tasks of each combat unit or the special environment of the complex and dense mountain jungle on the Border between China and Vietnam, although the number and type of field rations carried by the soldiers are different, in addition to the necessary compressed dry food, canned food with good taste, filling stomach and replenishing physical strength has naturally become the first choice. The most common and best canned food in the counterattack is braised pork.
Canned braised pork weighing up to one kilogram is packaged in green tinplate and sealed so tightly that in addition to the can opener, it must be opened with a dagger or bayonet, and the top layer of this can is a thick layer of lard, and the bottom is a large piece of pork. If this kind of can is slightly heated, after the lard is dissolved, the taste is more fragrant. But if you eat something directly when you open the can, the greasy lard of the white flower flower is easy to make people greasy.
Over time, experienced warriors have invented various methods to solve the problem of canned braised pork being too greasy, in addition to directly scraping it out with a bayonet and throwing it away, some warriors throw lard on hay and branches and light a fire to heat it, and some rub the can with sand or shoe sole belt to make it heat up and dissolve the pork grease. In short, in the whimsy of the warriors, there are always more ways than difficulties.
In addition to canned pork, canned sour and spicy vegetables are also one of the favorite supplements of officers and soldiers, this kind of canned sour and spicy flavored smorgasbord marinated from cucumbers, snow vegetables, turnips, cabbage, green beans and other vegetables, and canned pork, 761 compressed biscuits together, can not only meet the needs of the body of various nutrients, but also adjust the taste to relieve greasy.
In addition to the necessary field rations, because there is no special field fruit can, such as sugar water pineapple, sugar water orange, sugar water yellow peach and other canned fruit packaged in glass jars has become a very morale-boosting luxury, although this kind of can is more fragile and not easy to transport, but compared to the common food such as braised pork, canned fruit is more popular.
In order to be able to open the can bottle packaging, the warriors have figured out a lot of ways to open the can, daggers and bayonets are nothing, more novel methods such as the magazine of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and even shrapnel, sharp stone pieces, pistol strips, etc., can become a sharp weapon for opening cans. Some warriors even invented the method of opening a hole in the tin lid of the bottle, inserting a straw or reed into the can as a straw, and sucking the soup dry before opening the lid to eat the pulp.
