Chapter 1186 Military Police Company
On the road south of Ciwu Town, Zhuji County, central Zhejiang.
More than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division Independent Regiment were marching out of breath.
This highway passing through Ciwu Town was built in the so-called golden decade. It sets out from Hangzhou, passes through Zhuji, Shengxian, Xinchang, Tiantai to Wenzhou and even Fujian Province, and is the predecessor of the National Highway 104 later.
However, the specifications of this highway are not high and have not been hardened.
In addition, there was a heavy rain last night, so that the roads became muddy and it was difficult to march.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment were already exhausted, but now they were even more overwhelmed and could not walk.
The regiment commander Zhao Lan found the teacher Tao Liu again and begged: "Mr., brothers really can't walk."
Tao Liu and Zhong Guangren looked at each other and were about to order to rest on the spot when the roar of the engine suddenly came from the front.
When Tao Liu turned around quickly, he saw two shiny headlights shooting from the dark night sky ahead. Then, a side tricycle rushed out of the darkness.
After a while, the side three-wheeler arrived in front of the independent team.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment subconsciously made them to both sides of the road, and the side three-wheeled road went forward and came to Tao Liu.
Tao Liu did not move out of the way, but instead brought the deputy commander Zhong Guangren and the independent regiment commander Zhao Lan to welcome him.
At this time, the people on the tricycle also saw Tao Liu. To be precise, they saw the star on Tao Liu's head. They stopped with a creaking sound, and then jumped up from the car alone.
The officer who got off the tricycle was carrying the rank of captain.
When he walked to Tao Liu, the captain asked, "Is it Commander Tao?"
"I am Tao Liu." Tao Liu nodded and asked again, "Which unit do you belong to?"
The captain officer then stood attentively and replied proudly: "Liu Tianhu, the captain, company commander of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion, 582nd Regiment, 194th Division of the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, has met Commander Tao!"
Tao Liu nodded and said, "Company Commander Liu, what's the matter with me?"
Liu Tianhu replied: "We have followed the order of the division seat to escort a transport team from Yinjiang from Yuyao to Ciwu Town. Now the convoy has successfully arrived at Ciwu Town. Please send someone to accept it as soon as possible."
"The transportation team from Yinjiang?" Tao Liu looked excited and said, "Who is sending food?"
"Yes." Liu Tianhu said, "There are 55 trucks in total, all loaded with cornmeal!"
"Fifty-six car cornmeal?" Zhong Guangren said excitedly, "Is it a Dodge Truck?"
Liu Tianhu nodded and replied, "Yes, fifty-five Dodge trucks, one truck and two tons, a total of one hundred tons!"
"Be good, one hundred and ten tons!" Zhong Guangren almost jumped up with joy, "Then it's 220,000 kilograms, and each of the more than 9,000 brothers in the teacher can get at least twenty kilograms!"
"Damn!" Tao Liu said fiercely, "I don't have to go hungry at last!"
After a pause, Tao Liu said to Zhao Lan again: "Captain Zhao, tell your brothers, grit your teeth and hold on for another five kilometers. When you arrive in Ciwu Town, I will steam cornmeal steamed buns for them to eat, and eat them openly, and you can eat enough!"
"Yes!" Zhao Lan responded, his voice changed and he rushed away suddenly.
A moment later, tsunami cheers burst out from the marching formation of the Independence Regiment.
If Zhong Yi was present, he would definitely sigh, what a good soldier, they actually don’t want much, they just want a full meal and are willing to sell their lives to the superior!
Speaking of Tao Liu, after giving orders to Zhao Lan, he turned around and found that Liu Tianhu did not leave.
Tao Liu said at the moment: "Company Commander Liu, your mission has been completed and you can go back."
However, Liu Tianhu took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Tao Liu and said, "Teacher Tao, Zhong Yi, Chief of Staff of the Front Staff of the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle in the Third War Zone!"
"Zhong Yi's order?" Tao Liu subconsciously reached out to take the telegram.
After watching it in a hurry, Tao Liu's face suddenly became gloomy.
Zhong Guangren found Tao Liu's expression strange and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Tao Liu didn't say much, but handed the telegram in his hand to Zhong Guangren.
After receiving the telegram, Zhong Guangren's face immediately became very embarrassed.
The telegram said that Liu Tianhu's company would stay in the 62nd Division headquarters and become a military police company directly under the division headquarters. This military police company did not undertake combat tasks, and its only responsibility was to supervise the commander of the 62nd Division.
What to supervise? Supervise the distribution of military supplies and supervise the implementation of military orders!
In a word, Zhong Yi could not believe them, such division commanders, brigade commanders, and regiment commanders, and were worried that they would sell the military supplies provided by Yinjiang City for money, and they were even more worried that they would disobey orders and not execute orders. So after thinking about such a detriment, he drew a military police company from the divisions of the 10th Army to conduct cross-supervision.
The military police company of the 194th Division supervises the 62nd Division.
The military police company of the 62nd Division supervises the 192nd Division.
Zhong Yi's move was really hurt because he knew very well that in the sequence of the national army, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is often closer because of personal dependence, but the relationship between the equals is often very bad because of competition for interests. Once the opportunity is caught, he will kill his opponent.
Therefore, after using cross-supervision damage, the phenomenon of reselling military supplies can basically be eliminated.
Of course, if someone really colludes secretly, there are still the eyes and ears of the Jinhua Station of the Military Control Commission staring in secret.
As for the implementation of military orders, Zhong Yi was not actually worried, because with Liu Jianxu's example, I believe no one dared to jump out and provoke him again.
However, Zhong Yi's move made the teacher feel that it was not so good.
Zhong Guangren said hatefully: "Master, Zhong Yi doesn't trust us at all."
"If you don't trust, you don't trust. Your brain is on his own head, we can't control it." Tao Liu groaned and said again, "You are the one who is upright and does not fear the shadow is crooked. As long as we don't have a crooked mind, we care whether he supervises or not."
"What the master said is," said Zhong Guangren, "If the funding is enough, will we sell military rations and bear the infamous?"
Speaking of this, Zhong Guangren said again: "In a word, if Yin Jiang can provide enough supplies to prevent the brothers from hungry and to fight the Japanese with empty hands, we will firmly implement his orders, but if he wants to play with us, he will only give us a little food and ammunition. Sorry, we cannot execute his orders!"
"I won't talk about this." Tao Liu waved his hand and said, "Brother Guangren, you can just pick one company to go to the 192nd Division. Since this is the order of Chief Zhong, we should implement it."
"Yes." Zhong Guangren agreed and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait for a moment." Tao Liu called Zhong Guangren again and said, "Don't worry, wait for the brothers to have dinner before going to the 194th Division, so that they will not be hungry when they arrive at the 194th Division."
