In "Bright Sword", the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao once said that "Japanese canned beef is served every day". In the 2 1 century today, the price of beef is not particularly cheap, so we can see how good the Japanese food was during World War II, which also explains the reasons for the strong fighting capacity of the Japanese army. Canned beef is available, but soldiers below "sergeant" don't want to have it.
As one of the largest port exports, Japan's fishery is extremely developed. Therefore, in this special period of World War II, Japanese soldiers can eat canned beef and canned fish which are cheap, nutritious and rich. In addition, there is "Yamato Boil", that is, in addition to meat, Japanese people like canned vegetables such as carrots and potatoes. Now, it seems that the combination of meat and vegetables is still very good.
American canned food supply is also particularly good, and American soldiers can eat meat almost every meal, which definitely has a profound impact on the victory of World War II. Spam canned lunch meat was the most eaten canned meat in various countries during World War II. This kind of canned food appeared in China's army, but it was unrealistic to ensure that every soldier could eat meat like the United States. I can't eat it, but I'm afraid I'm tired of eating it if I eat three meals a day.
During World War II, there was a country with a high industrial level, and that was Germany. German soldiers have advanced weapons and equipment, and their food is not worse than that of the United States. Rice, milk, vegetables, meat, etc. However, this was before the defeat of Germany. After several defeats, the soldiers' food had to be reduced.
On the other hand, China soldiers eat in two words, simple! Because during World War II, even the canned food that appeared in China's army was seized from the enemy! It's a bit bitter to say, but fortunately, China soldiers rely on mountains to eat, and rely on water to eat! In particular, the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army suffered the most, eating bark and grass roots, even on an empty stomach, but fortunately, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression won in the end!
With the improvement of China's economic development level, China soldiers' combat rations are gradually abundant, with canned food and compressed biscuits. I don't know if you have eaten compressed biscuits. They are dry and astringent. Apart from a strong feeling of fullness, you can't say the second advantage. Foods such as canned food need to be heated before eating, but often in real combat, soldiers will choose compressed biscuits, because heating canned food will undoubtedly expose their position and pose a threat to their own safety.
