Who knows the food standard of Japanese soldiers?

Japanese food in World War II

Because the meals of the army and navy are very different, we should talk about them separately.

Japanese army

The meals of Japanese army recruits looked good, but in fact they later became extremely irritable. A recruit who worked as a shipyard worker in Yokohama before joining the army said: "On the first day I joined the army, we had a particularly delicious meal, red beans cooked with glutinous rice, but just as we were eating, our boss said,' This is the last good meal you have ever eaten, and everything has become harsh since then. ""Later army and navy recruits usually had cold rice with pickles and a cup of herbal tea for breakfast, and they ate quickly so that they could go back and continue military exercises. Lunch may be rice with a little meat or fish, while dinner is just a bowl of Tonga with a little rice and vegetables. Generally speaking, most of them are rice balls and Zean (that is, yellow radish).

Six-year Food Standard of Japanese Showa:

Male: 640 grams

Mike: 200 grams

Canned meat: 150g (not available most of the time, especially in China war zone).

Dried vegetables:110g (corn)

Pickle: 40 grams

Soy sauce: 20g.

Salt: 12g

Sugar: 15g

Tea: 3g

In Dong's sensational diary, many places say that the Japanese army's battlefield logistics support ability is very poor. A few days before the troops leave, they can still live on the rations brought by the soldiers, and then start dieting to lose weight. If you can't eat one rice a day (one contract is 0. 18 liter), vegetables are pickles or something, and a little milk sugar is very precious, and basically you can't see any animal food. Improving Food Only when the troops rest in the rear can they eat the basic food that can be distributed according to military standards, or the troops "requisition food on the spot is actually robbery." The figures in the materials we are looking at now can only be eaten in the rear or during daily exercise. At that time, Japanese soldiers on the front line were rationed twice a month with candied milk, biscuits, candied beans, bean bags, mutton soup and other sweets. Japanese soldiers during World War II were particularly fond of sweets, which was probably related to poverty. At that time, Japan's logistics system was quite rubbish, especially food rationing (kids are cursing), so after the war began, the army's food rationing was ordered to be self-sufficient on the spot: grab it!

Memories of Japanese junior officers on the battlefield in Southeast Asia: Every time troops are transferred to their posts, they usually only bring rations for about five days. If they can't get to their posts within five days, they will send people into the jungle to hunt or collect wild fruits to satisfy their hunger at four o'clock every afternoon, and start to reduce their rations on the third day; And it also says that if the troops go to the front, they will bring the resident animals to provide meat. In the absence of food, the Japanese often kill prisoners of war, even their own comrades!

The food of the old Japanese army was poor, but there were some exceptions.

Officers on board or above:

breakfast

Dried fish, seaweed, miso soup, pickles, rice (Japanese people only eat porridge when they are sick). If someone wants to eat western food, they can also tell the orderly to prepare English breakfast such as coffee and porridge the night before. Officers who have studied abroad will not reject this western-style breakfast, but most of them still like Japanese breakfast.

Lunch-

The order of western-style dinner is soup, fish and meat. When eating in cold and hot weather, you need to put on your coat and eat according to British table manners.

The commander-in-chief of the joint fleet dines in his private room, accompanied by the orderly, and sometimes in the commander's hall, and at the same time entertains the important personnel of the fleet (according to etiquette, the commander-in-chief sits in the middle of one side of the table, and the chief of staff sits opposite him. Others include senior staff officers, adjutants, fleet translators, fleet meteorologists, fleet chief engineers, fleet controllers, fleet medical officers, fleet judge advocate general and flagship captains. ).

Officers' dining is divided into two levels: officer room and grass-roots officer room. Five minutes before the joint fleet commander dined, the military band gathered on the back deck to play semi-classical or European and American pop music instead of military songs and music. Even in the war, this tradition has been maintained, which can be regarded as the band's daily practice time. Most officers and men finished their lunch as soon as possible and enjoyed music on the back deck. However, this will only be held when the ship breaks down.

Dinner-

Japanese cuisine, including sashimi, kimchi, grilled fish, steamed eggs, miso soup, etc. There will be lobster, soft-shelled turtle and other local dishes when warships are in different places.

Officers who don't have enough to eat after meals will ask the orderly for leftovers. In fact, the kitchen specially cooked an extra pot to deal with these officers, and added a few poached eggs, soy sauce and vinegar as the second dinner.

The dishes on the ship vary according to the size of the warship. The bigger the dishes, the better. In the navy, the food in "Yamato Hotel" is the best, but Yamaguchi complains that there are too few dishes (he is a famous big stomach king).

Officers must pay for their own meals. Young officers often spend money like water. Secret service personnel with families (officers promoted from non-commissioned officers) know how to save.

Ordinary soldiers:

I don't have to eat a full set of western food like an officer, and the dishes are also foreign, such as cream stewed chicken, curry beef and other foreign dishes, miso soup, fish, kimchi and other Japanese dishes. The staple food is rice mixed with barley. Breakfast is mainly rice and pickles. Breakfast is served at 7: 30, but when you want to get up before the wake-up call, in order to fill your stomach first, you will go to the kitchen and order something to eat first. Usually, the kitchen gives them barley, oil tofu, soy sauce, pickles and miscellaneous rice.

Influenced by the traditional diet, Japan's military logistics department has been trying to improve the pilots' meals. Take the pilots who bombed Chongqing as an example. Their staple foods were sandwiches and sushi, good tea and wine, and the most advanced lactic acid drinks at that time.

In addition, each pilot also distributed extra chocolates and high-quality candy.
