Zhao Ting and the others stayed in the abandoned school building in the south of the city for a night. Although they had a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it could not compare to the warm and comfortable inside the city. This night, the brothers did not sleep well.
The next day, Zhao Ting led the soldiers of the model battalion to clean up the abandoned school buildings. The classrooms were converted into dormitories.
Fortunately, the commanding officer of the theater of operations had allocated enough bedding, clothes, and other materials to them. They were also transported directly by big carts, so Zhao Ting and the others didn't need to look for them themselves.
After the temporary camp of the model camp was cleaned, Zhao Ting arranged for a duty system. Every day, he arranged for a platoon of soldiers to guard and guard the camp.
The platoon on duty did not have to participate in the training and other tasks on that day, but they were responsible for the safety of the entire camp.
"System, exchange for 30 camouflage nets.”
Although there was a large bamboo forest around the school building, the school building was still too conspicuous. Zhao Ting knew that the Japanese had the air superiority now, so he prepared to exchange for a camouflage net.
"The host will exchange for 30 camouflage nets, which will cost 1000 war points. Are you sure you want to exchange?”
"Yes!"
Soon, the 30 camouflage nets were exchanged. They were all field camouflage nets. Unless the Japanese planes were scouting at a low altitude, they would not be discovered.
Under Zhao Ting's orders, Company Commander Liu Gang commanded his men to cover the entire sky above the school building with a camouflage net.
Fortunately, the size of the school building was not large. Thirty camouflage nets were more than enough to cover it. Moreover, the school buildings these days were all made of mud walls and green tiles, instead of the conspicuous white walls of the later generations. Coupled with the cover of the camouflage net, the entire concealment effect was greatly enhanced.
"Set up anti-horse antlers in front of the gate, and set up two light machine gun bunkers on both sides!”
"Not only do sentries have to be open sentries, but they also have to be hidden sentries and mobile sentries. The patrol team also has to be organized. Without our permission, no stranger is allowed to approach the camp within two li.”
After Zhao Ting saw that the camouflage net was set up, he personally led the officers around the camp and confirmed the level of alert.
"Battalion Commander, this is the rear, and there are no devils here. Aren't we being too careful?”
After hearing Zhao Ting's arrangement, Second Company Commander Yang Dashu felt that there was no need for this.
"We are now at war. The enemy is cunning. We must be vigilant to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation.”" We're a model battalion now," Zhao Ting emphasized." The Japanese must hate us to the bone now, so we can't let our guard down."”
"Yes, sir!"
When they thought of the fiendish soldiers on the battlefield, the officers felt their hearts tremble. They knew that Zhao Ting was doing this just in case. It was for their own good.
"Oh right, there are many old and weak soldiers in our team. He thinks that they are not suitable to participate in the battle. Old Wang, organize them and transfer them all to the military supplies department.”Zhao Ting thought for a moment and said.
"Our model battalion doesn't have a military supplies department.”Old Wang was stunned.
"We don't have one in our organization, but we can set up one internally. You'll be in charge of the military supplies department first.”
"The main job of the military supplies department is to manage the weapons, equipment, and materials, clean up the barracks, and distribute the soldiers 'salaries. You have to take care of the three meals a day.”
Zhao Ting knew that the logistics system of the Chinese army could be said to be fragmented, and the situation on the Songhu battlefield could be seen from this.
Food supplies from the rear were piled up in the warehouses, but the soldiers at the front line were often fighting with hungry stomachs. They did not even have bullets and were fighting with the Japanese.
There were even cases where many supplies and food were not delivered to the frontline officers and soldiers. Instead, they flowed into the black market, and some officers took the opportunity to make a fortune from the national disaster.
It could be said that apart from the strength of the Japanese, the logistics of the Chinese army was also a big reason for the unfavorable situation at the front line.
Now that Zhao Ting was experimenting in the model camp, he wanted to make the military supplies independent so that the officers at all levels wouldn't have the chance to get involved.
In this way, the kitchen department under the Quartermaster's Office could directly receive food and vegetables from the Quartermaster's Office to cook, ensuring that the officers and soldiers had enough to eat and not be sold by the officers.
Moreover, if there were any problems with the weapons and equipment, they could directly pursue the person responsible and avoid corruption caused by too many people handling them.
Zhao Ting's prestige was at its peak, and he was a man of his word in the model camp. Although Old Wang felt that doing so would cut off many opportunities for the officers to earn money, he had no choice but to agree.
"From now on, our model battalion will implement a double effect. Other than the military funds allocated by the military and political department, a portion of the funds donated by the local squires and citizens will be used as the second part of the military pay.”
"In addition, soldiers who fight bravely on the battlefield will be rewarded according to their military achievements.”
Zhao Ting put an end to the officers 'chances of taking advantage of the supplies, but he did not cut off their sources of income. As long as they performed well, they could get more money openly.
The reason why Zhao Ting said that was because he had the war system now. It was easy for him to exchange for some money, gold, and other things.
However, Zhao Ting did not want to do this under the circumstances where he had no choice. This was because if the currency was overdistributed, it would cause the value of the goods to depreciate. He had to convert the seized currency into money and make up for it himself. This way, they could avoid as much as possible from the effects of the currency.
