Chapter 37 U.S. Army Rations
"Fuck, this is the C ration that the U.S. military provided during World War II. I only learned about it in books when I was in military academy, but this is the first time I have seen it. Now, the third company of our Volunteer Army not only Solving the problem of food shortage has also increased my knowledge.”

Sun Lei, who squatted down, saw the English words "C-ration" written on the wooden box on the snow in front of him, and immediately made him secretly happy. Under the extremely excited mood, he He muttered in his mouth.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Sun Lei felt that he should open the wooden box in front of him to see if it contained the C rations used by the U.S. military during World War II.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Sun Lei used the [-]th rifle with the bayonet in his hand without saying a word, and easily pried it open three times and five times.

Taking the top cover of the wooden box aside, Sun Lei squatted down again, lowered his head, and took a closer look.

The wooden box contained the C ration, which was the standard equipment of the U.S. Army during World War II. It contained the C ration package for three people, which contained biscuits, luncheon meat, beans, dehydrated vegetables, fruit hard candies, Coffee grounds, juice, chewing gum, but also cigarettes, matches, sewing kits and razor blades!
Although Sun Lei was very excited at this time, he did not show any act of ecstasy.On the contrary, at this time he was very calm, as if nothing had happened just now, and without being noticed, he pressed the removed cover back on the wooden box.

Because the three companies and one row of volunteer soldiers who came to clean up the battlefield with him, from the platoon leader Liu Sanshun to the ordinary volunteer soldiers, hardly paid attention to the dozen or so wooden boxes near Sun Lei. He just focused on picking up weapons and equipment, guns and ammunition scattered all over the place.

Because in the eyes of these people, what their third company of the Volunteer Army is most short of is weapons and ammunition. Taking advantage of the retreat of the Korean army, they must collect these discarded weapons and ammunition in the shortest possible time.

Anyway, each soldier of the third company of the Volunteer Army still has three days of rations left. Although they are all fried noodles, they can only eat fried noodles with a bite of snow when they can’t smoke during the day and can’t make fire at night. Just fill your stomach.

But if the guns and ammunition are exhausted, even if they are given a meal of delicacies from mountains and seas, they will find it difficult to swallow.In this ever-changing Korean battlefield, the most practical thing is to have sufficient weapons and equipment, guns and ammunition.

Of course, except for Sun Lei, the three companies and one row of volunteer soldiers who were in charge of cleaning the battlefield turned a blind eye to the dozen or so wooden boxes placed on the snow around Sun Lei. The main reason was that Because they couldn't understand the English written on the outside of these wooden boxes, they naturally swarmed towards the scattered weapons, equipment, guns and ammunition on the snow.

The reason why Sun Lei chose to hide his discovery of the C rations of the U.S. military for the time being so that the soldiers in the third company and the first row who cleaned the battlefield with him would know is because he considered that once he made the matter public In other words, he was afraid that he would be looted by the soldiers scrambling for the first place. This was not the scene he wanted to see, so he chose to keep it secret.

What made Sun Lei even more pleasantly surprised was that after he discovered that the wooden box in front of him contained C rations for three people of the US Army, he also found five wooden boxes next to it. The English is also "C-ration".

Needless to say, the five wooden boxes that he found in addition contained the C rations of the U.S. Army for three people. It is no less than Columbus discovering the New World.

In addition, the English written on the outer packaging of the other eight wooden boxes was "Repudlic of Korea", which immediately shocked Sun Lei again.

He had seen this English phrase in a book when he was a soldier in the special forces and went to the military academy to study. It was a kind of "ROK ration" made by the US military in accordance with the "K ration" standard. Equipped with the South Korean army, which was called the "South Korean puppet army" at that time.

据孙磊曾经在书本上了解到的有关“ROK陆军口粮”(Repudlic of Korea“大韩民国“)的相关知识,可以知道每份“ROK陆军口粮”包含1.75磅大米、0.6磅沙丁鱼罐头、1/3包饼干、盐和辣椒,以及装在防水袋中的500韩元纸币。

It is worth mentioning that the 500 won was equivalent to about 1/12 of the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate at the time, and was used to purchase non-staple food in combat areas—of course, what we can buy is not within the scope of our consideration.

Sun Lei still kept this matter a secret. He wanted to transport the [-] wooden boxes to the southern high ground guarded by the third company of the Volunteer Army as soon as possible, so that the soldiers from other battalions and companies in the regiment would not take the lead. .

Sun Lei, who was so enthusiastic at this time, didn't bother to ask for instructions from the squad leader Niu Tiezhu and the platoon leader Liu Sanshui, so he divided the [-] small wooden boxes into two rows and stacked them up.

After the stack was finished, Sun Lei didn't say anything, didn't even say hello, he put his bayonet-mounted [-] rifle on his back behind his back, and put the stacked two rows with a total of [-] Hugging the wooden box to his chest, he ran wildly on the snow like flying.

In just one minute, Sun Lei brought the fourteen wooden boxes intact to the high ground on the south side by himself.

The soldiers in the third company and the first row who were in charge of cleaning the battlefield, at first, saw Sun Lei running back desperately holding fourteen wooden boxes. He went with them to pick up guns and ammunition scattered on the snow, but he was holding two stacks of wooden boxes. What the hell was he doing.

Looking at Sun Lei's back that was drifting away, the soldiers in three companies and one row who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield on the snow ground only paused for a few seconds, looked up at Sun Lei's back, and they all shook their heads. After shaking his head, he continued to pick up guns and ammunition around him.

Not to mention the three companies and one row of soldiers who cleaned the battlefield with Sun Lei, they all expressed their puzzlement after seeing his abnormal behavior. It was Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company, and Wang Wenju, the instructor, who saw Sun Lei's chest. He appeared in front of the two of them holding two stacks of wooden boxes, with the same puzzled expression on his cheeks.
