Chapter 503 Logistics Reform
Time flies in a flash... After more than a month of renovation, several main forces have basically completed supply and gradually recovered their combat effectiveness. The front-line team is also tentatively moving southward and making all pre-war preparations.
Even so, the logistics and transportation troops did not relax. A group of transport planes would land at Nankan Airport in a few hours, and there were endless convoys coming and going every day.
If you can see from the air, you will find that the winding road in the mountains and forests is like rows of ants marching, countless wheeled heavy trucks or horses and mule carts passing by.
The drivers who drive the car work two shifts throughout the day, working overtime to deliver supplies to the front line. They would rather change cars than change people than complete the heavy logistics transportation tasks.
But this also made the large number of logistics soldiers very tired, and even a rumor circulated among several transportation regiments: the brothers on the front line waved, and the buddies behind them became tired...
The regaining of northern Myanmar and central Myanmar also liberated many local people and Chinese. In addition to the more than 100,000 people in the concentration camp, there were at least millions of residents in this vast area.
Compared with the cruel rule of the Japanese army, the arrival of the expeditionary army is a world of difference. Nowadays, a large number of local people have been called to build bridges and pave roads, and broaden the life transportation lines of those troops.
Of course, this is not a free coolie. The expeditionary force still provides certain returns and food. The wealthy Americans don’t care about that little reward. Although it is not too much, it is at least enough to allow these residents to have food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about being used as targets by the Japanese or being caught as a test subject.

"I said God of Wealth, why did this trip only cost ten tons of oil? Do you know that our armored brigade lacks other things, but this thing is not needed. If you don't add those iron lumps, wouldn't it be a decoration? And ammunition... My God, is this thing enough to arm a battalion?"
"Oh, Chief Hong, don't worry, isn't there any more to come? You can wait for three more days and you will definitely make up for the next batch of goods."
Outside the camp of the Mitela Armored Brigade, Zhao Gongming, the general manager of the military logistics department, explained helplessly, and while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, his fat body nodded and bowed slightly funny.
Standing in front of him was Hong Mu, the chief of staff of the Armored Brigade, who kept questioning with a transportation list, and his expression was very dissatisfied.
"What? We will have to start the whole army the day after tomorrow. You have to wait for three days. Who will be responsible if Jun Zu blames him?"
"Oh, you don't know, that... that..."
Zhao Gongming wanted to speak but stopped. After looking at the side, he made sure there was no one, he quietly pulled Hong Mu to the corner and whispered: "The Third Honor Division is stuck... It's quite deadly. The first batch of supplies was intercepted by Division Long. We have nothing to do about it."
Hong Mu glared at the sight of anger and scolded angrily: "Damn it, I'm so dying, I have to take everything first! It's not a thing!"
Because Mandalay's transportation line is relatively complete, the highway network connects south to north and east, and there is also a railway line connecting Myitkyina. Therefore, the materials coming from India are transported to Mandalay in advance and then distributed to Lashio, Taungchi, Mitela and other areas.
What kind of virtue is Long Wen? He always underestimates him when he passes by the geese. He has to try the salty people when passing by. Can he watch these supplies for nothing?
So the honorary Third Division stationed there has become the person who is in charge, and the supplies of materials must be taken through them. The soldiers of the Third Division have also fully utilized their division commander's "eating and taking chews" and must be the first to obtain any good things. Not only should they feed themselves first, but they also have to put more in their pockets.
According to the Dragon Demon, it is called in case of emergency needs. Anyway, the supplies are sufficient later, and the Americans' things are like they don't need money. They are just a matter of transporting more trips. At worst, Liao Mingyu scolded him through the phone, but he was worried about being scolded by the actual benefits.
"I said Lao Zhao, why are you so cowardly? You are the chief logistics chief. Don't you have the final say in the logistics supplies? Why don't you dare to fight him? If you rebel against him, it's still!" Hong Mu, who was in a displeasure, suddenly blamed him and began to fan the flames and wanted to transfer the conflict to Long Wen.
"I can't help either. Don't look at me as the head of logistics, but compared to the commanders of you main forces, that's nothing." Zhao Gongming, who didn't want to be troublesome, spread his hands and said he was helpless, and he also complained while saying that he was wrong.
"When it's not his third division in front, he is not panicked at all? Damn it!" Hong Mu murmured, complaining like a nagging woman: "Isn't it good for you to die, right?"
"Hey! I can't say this nonsense. Now Junzu is strictly enforcing logistics. Every transport team must report the transportation situation on that day truthfully. The superiors will come to review it from time to time. We are not going to do anything."
Zhao Gongming's head was like a rattle. Since the 88th Army was re-established, Liao Mingyu has planned a logistics transportation system. Each transportation has task indicators. If it is not completed on time and in quantity, the person in charge will be severely punished.
People from the military police and the special agent camp will come to investigate every now and then, cracking down on behaviors such as "private collection of benefits" and "deducting military supplies". Once discovered, it will be miserable.
The military police were just arresting people, but the gloomy spy battalion was different. They were caught by them as long as the evidence was conclusive, they didn't need to report it and they were shot directly.
These people usually don’t meet mysteriously and secretly. They are selfless and ruthless in dealing with anyone. And they only listen to Liao Mingyu’s orders, just like a group of Jinyiwei who is panicked when they see him.
Almost everyone in the transportation army was afraid to meet them, especially after a few heads that could not control their hands, almost no one dared to tamper with the logistics supplies anymore.
In fact, the reason why Liao Mingyu did this is because of the current inflow of large amounts of materials. If he does not use iron-blooded means to strictly control it, the consequences of being corroded by borers will be unimaginable.
In the past, front-line soldiers fought hard, but logistics soldiers could rest assured and even embezzled. On the other hand, no one dared to offend them like an old man. Now... the situation has completely changed. Not only are there task indicators, but the supervision is stricter. Anyone who dares to commit crimes against the wind will never tolerate it.
"Oh... Jun Zuo's requirements for logistics are getting stricter. Now there is not enough manpower and transportation tasks are heavy. Do you think I've come to escort them all in person? We're going to use them alone now. If we don't do it well, we will lose our heads."
Zhao Gongming deeply realized that it was difficult to be a logistics soldier. In the past, there was a lot of oil in this industry, and anyone who saw it would have to smile and be polite and dare not offend him. But now... if you send it a little slower or the number is wrong, you will have to be dealt with if someone reports it. Maybe your life will be lost.
"Then I will report to Junzuo, saying that the people from his third division deducted military supplies without authorization and affected the supplies of other troops. Let's see if anyone comes to deal with them!"
Hong Mu said harshly in dissatisfaction, but he was obviously not confident enough.
"Okay, sue him! Let that grandson be proud, it's better to let Junzuo come to clean up him in person!" The shrewd Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and instead began to fan the flames.
"ah?"
Before Hong Mu could speak, Zhao Gongming quickly added fuel to the fire: "Brother, don't be afraid. I will prove it to you at that time. I can't suffer this mute loss, right? I have to give him some color."
