Chapter 503: Logistics Reform
Time flies... After more than a month of repairs, several main forces have basically completed their supplies and gradually regained their combat effectiveness, and the front-line teams are also tentatively moving closer to the south and making all pre-war preparations.
Even so, the logistical transport troops did not slacken, and a group of transport planes would land at Nankan Airport in a few hours, and the convoys came and went every day.
If you can see it from the air, you will see that the winding road between the mountains and forests looks like a line of ants marching, and countless wheeled heavy trucks or horse-borne mule carts pass through it.
The drivers who drive the cars are all working in two shifts a day, working overtime to deliver supplies to the front line, and would rather change cars than people to complete the heavy logistics and transportation tasks.
But this also made a large number of logistics soldiers tired enough, and even a saying circulated in several transport regiments: the brothers on the front line beckoned, and the buddies in the back were tired like dogs...
The reconquest of northern Burma and central Burma also liberated many local people and overseas Chinese, and in addition to the 100,000 or so people in the concentration camps, there were at least millions of residents in this vast area.
Compared to the brutal rule of the Japanese army, the arrival of the expeditionary force can be described as a world of difference, and now a large number of local people are called to build bridges and pave roads, and widen the life transportation routes of those troops.
Of course, this was not unpaid coolies, the expeditionary force still provided a certain amount of reward and food, and the wealthy Yankees did not care about that little reward, although it was not much, but at least it was enough for these residents to have food and clothing, and they no longer had to worry about being used as a target by the Japanese, or captured as a test subject.
……
"I said God of Wealth, how is this trip only ten tons of oil? Do you know that our armored brigade lacks this thing if it lacks anything else, and if you don't renew those iron bumps, it will become an ornament. And ammunition ... My God, is this enough to arm a battalion? ”
"Oh, Sir Hong, don't worry, isn't there still one later, you wait for three more days, and the next batch of goods will definitely be replenished for you."
Outside the camp of the Mitiera Armored Brigade, Zhao Gongming, the chief of quartermaster logistics, explained helplessly, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief as he spoke.
And standing in front of him was the chief of staff of the armored brigade, Hong Mu, who was holding a transport list and constantly questioning, and his expression was very dissatisfied.
"What? We will have to march the whole army the day after tomorrow, and you will let me wait for three days, and if Junzuo is to blame, who will bear this responsibility? ”
"Oh, you don't know, that's... That..."
Zhao Gongming wanted to speak and stopped, and after looking at the side to make sure that there was no one, he quietly pulled Hong Mu to the corner and whispered: "Honor the third division over there... The card is relatively dead, and the first batch of supplies was intercepted by Master Long first, so we can't help it. ”
Hong Mu's eyes were stunned, and he scolded angrily: "Damn, damn it, it's dead, you have to take everything first!" It's not a thing anymore! ”
Because Mandalay has a relatively complete transportation line, a road network connecting south to north through east and west, and a railway line connecting Myitkyina, so the materials from India are transported to Mandalay in advance, and then distributed to Lashio, Taunggyi, Myitira and other areas.
And what kind of virtue is the dragon article, the goose plucking is to underestimate him, and the dung truck has to taste the salty people who pass by, can they look at these materials in vain and not be moved?
As a result, the Honorary Third Division stationed there has become a talker, and the supplies along the way must pass through his hands, and the soldiers of the Third Division have also given full play to the characteristics of their division commanders to "eat and take cards", and they must be the first to obtain any good things, not only to feed themselves first, but also to put more in their pockets.
According to the dragon demon, it is called in case of emergency, anyway, the materials behind it are sufficient, and the Yankees' things are as if they don't need money, which is nothing more than a problem of transporting more than a pair of wool. It's a big deal to be scolded by Liao Mingyu over the phone, but after getting the actual benefits, I'm still worried about being scolded.
"I said Lao Zhao, why are you so cowardly? You're the chief logistics officer, don't you have the final say on the logistics and materials? Why don't you dare to fight him? It's against him! Hong Mu, who was in an unhappy mood, suddenly blamed and began to fan the flames and wanted to transfer the contradiction to Long Wenwen.
"I don't have a problem, don't look at my brother, I'm the head of the logistics headquarters, but that's a fart compared to the commanders of the main forces of you." Zhao Gongming, who didn't want to do much, spread his hands and said that he couldn't do anything, and complained about the bitterness while talking.
"Isn't his third division at the forefront, he doesn't panic at all? Holy shit! Hong Mu muttered, grumbling like a chattering resentful woman: "It won't be dead, what good will it do to you, right?" ”
"Huh! Brother can't talk nonsense, now Junzuo strictly grasps logistics, and every transport team must truthfully report the transportation situation of the day, and the above will come to review from time to time, so we don't want to engage in those things. ”
Zhao Gongming's head shook like a rattle, since the re-establishment of the 88th Army, Liao Mingyu has planned the logistics transportation system, each transportation has a task index, if it is not completed on time and in quantity, the person directly responsible will be severely punished.
Every once in a while, members of the gendarmerie and the special service battalion will come to investigate and crack down on such behaviors as "collecting favors for personal gain" and "deducting military supplies." Once discovered, it will be miserable.
The gendarmerie is still only arresting people, but the gloomy spy battalion is different, they are caught and shot as long as the evidence is conclusive and does not need to be reported.
These people are usually mysterious and secretive, and they are iron-faced and selfless to anyone, and they only listen to Liao Mingyu's orders, just like a group of brocade guards who panic when they see it.
Almost everyone in the transport force was afraid of encountering them, especially after a few heads that could not control their hands were broken, and almost no one dared to do anything with logistics and supplies.
In fact, the reason why Liao Mingyu did this is also because of the inflow of a large number of materials today, if it is not strictly controlled by iron-blooded means, the consequences of being corroded by moths will be unimaginable.
In the past, the front-line soldiers fought desperately, but the logistics soldiers were able to sit back and relax and even be corrupt, and in turn, no one dared to offend like an uncle, but now... The situation has completely changed, not only are there task indicators, but supervision is more stringent, and whoever dares to commit crimes against the wind will not be tolerated.
"Alas... Junzuo's requirements for logistics are getting stricter and stricter, and now there are not enough manpower and the transportation task is heavy, do you see that I don't come to escort them in person, let's break one person into two now, and if you don't do it well, you have to lose your head. ”
Zhao Gongming is deeply aware that it is not easy to be a logistics soldier, in the past, there was a lot of oil and water in this industry, and anyone who saw it had to laugh and salute so that three points did not dare to offend, but now... If you send it a little slower or the quantity is wrong, you will have to be cleaned up if you are beaten and reported, and you will have to lose your life.
"Then Lao Tzu reported to Junzuo, saying that the people of his third division had withheld military supplies without authorization, affecting the supply of other troops, and saw if anyone came to treat them!"
Hong Mu was unconvinced and said cruel words, but looking at the confidence, it was obviously a little insufficient.
"Gotcha, sue him! Let that grandson get scared, and it's best to let Junzuo himself clean him up! The shrewd Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and he began to fan the flames.
"Huh?"
Before Hong Mu could speak, Zhao Gongming hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Don't be afraid, brother, I'll prove to you when the time comes, we can't eat this dumb loss, we have to give him some color." ”
Isn't this Nima? Hong Mu reacted, wasn't I encouraging him to do something? Why did it turn the other way around?
