Riverside police

It was late at night. Since there was no electricity, they could not watch TV or listen to the radio. Most of the people temporarily placed on the embankment fell asleep.

Some people couldn't sleep, so they gathered together in twos and threes, looking in the direction of their flooded homes, sighing and talking in low voices about where to go from now on.

At this time, a burst of rapid and neat steps came from a distance.

Everyone looked back and saw a troop marching in a hurry, their flashlights dazzling people.

"The third row speeds forward, the second row follows, and the first row stands still!"

"yes!"

"Set up a siege immediately and don't let them escape."

…

Such a big movement naturally cannot be hidden from Xu Mingyuan, Ma Jintao and others.

As soon as Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao walked out of the tent, they found that the entire camp was surrounded. An army captain and an army lieutenant wearing camouflage uniforms came towards them with more than a dozen soldiers.

"Comrade, which army are you from and what are you doing?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

The army captain was on top of the fire. He raised his flashlight to shine on Xu Mingyuan and others, and ordered coldly: "Wen Youming, Chen Hua, Zhang Guobing!"

"arrive!"

"Recognize someone!"

"yes!"

The three soldiers immediately ran up and took photos one after another with flashlights. Without asking, they knew they were here to catch Xiao Yu and Xiao Gu.

Xu Mingyuan did not expect them to be so angry, so he hurriedly signaled Guo Weitao and others to stay calm, and asked again: "Comrade Captain, what are you doing?"

"Find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the person who stole our company's honorary title flag."

"You can find someone, but are you looking for someone like this?"

Xu Mingyuan's face straightened, he stared at him closely and said: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Mingyuan. I am the deputy instructor of the major in the Linghai Reserve Battalion of the Jiangnan Military Region. Now I order you to have your subordinates withdraw from our camp immediately, otherwise don't blame us for not doing so." polite!"

Most of the officers and soldiers in the reserve force are demobilized veterans.

Realizing that he should not go too far, the army captain raised his arm and saluted: "Old squad leader, I am Guan Zhenghao, commander of the 1st company of the 2nd battalion of the 274th regiment of the 902nd division of the 301st army. The soldiers of my company saw with my own eyes that people from your battalion stole us. The military flag! Hand over the military flag and the people, and we will withdraw."

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, this may be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding, haha, old squad leader, I don't want to make things worse. You just need to hand over the people and let them apologize to us, and forget about it."

"if not?"

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

Chen Youren couldn't stand listening anymore and pointed at him and scolded him: "You new recruit, do you think you are superior or inferior? If you have anything to say, you can talk it over. Our teacher Xu is so polite to you, but you are so shameless!"

"Old squad leader, is it okay for your people to steal our military flag? It is said that one of the two people who stole our military flag is a deputy company commander. It's really wrong!"

"How did you talk?"

"That's what I said. I will say the same thing when my superiors come." Guan Zhenghao became more and more angry as he thought about it. He turned around and shouted: "First platoon leader!"

"Here!" A second lieutenant ran over.

"Take two classes in to search. If anyone dares not to cooperate, I will capture it!"

"yes!"

"you dare!"

"I dare to do it. If I want to take action, come here. I can learn from the skills of the old squad leaders."

Xiaoyu gritted his teeth in anger and was about to rush forward, but was held back by Guo Weitao.

Just when the platoon leader of the 1st Company of the 274th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, and about twenty soldiers were preparing to enter the tent to search for military flags, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from behind. The officers and soldiers could not open their eyes.

"What are you doing, want to fight?"

Staff Officer Dai pushed the door open and got out of the car, and walked over with two soldiers wearing picket armed belts, three-corner and one-star picket epaulettes on their shoulders, three-service picket armbands on their arms, and holding blue folders.

There are two types of pickets. One is the picket within the unit, which is usually carried out by soldiers drawn from the guard company or guard platoon. It is equivalent to a business trip, not full-time, and is only for the officers and soldiers of the unit, and will not go outside the camp area. Carry out picket duties.

There is also a tri-service picket in the garrison area, provincial military area and military division.

Any picket is annoying, but compared to the pickets of my own unit, the pickets of the three armed forces are even more annoying!

They are always nitpicking. No matter which army you belong to or how high your rank is, it will be bad if you are targeted by them.

They are "one level above the official level" and their main jobs are "three maintenance, one execution and one assistance".

Maintain military appearance and discipline, maintain order in the operation of military vehicles and traffic safety, safeguard the reputation of the military and the rights and interests of military personnel, perform temporary guard duties, and assist local governments in maintaining social security when necessary.

It has the right to criticize, educate and even control the personal freedom of active-duty soldiers who violate military discipline and disobey advice. As for reporting to superiors or notifying relevant units for processing, that is normal operation.

Just three months ago, a female military doctor from the division health team forgot to wear a hat when she went out. She was carrying a women's Xiaokun bag she had just bought. She was unlucky enough to be spotted by several armed forces pickets. The female military doctor was so frightened that she hid inside. Women's restroom.

As a result, those three-service pickets blocked the women's toilet for two hours. The female military doctor had no choice but to come out and admit her mistake, and was registered by those pickets and reported to the division.

Fortunately, you are a lesbian. If you were a man, they would take you away and notify your leader to pick you up.

In short, when you see a picket, don’t think about anything else and run away!

As long as he doesn't catch up, you'll be fine.

If he catches up with you, everything that was fine will turn into trouble.

…

The tri-service pickets are only found in big cities, and usually only "haunt" places such as train stations, bus stations, and shopping malls. How can there be pickets here!

Guan Zhenghao was stunned when he saw Staff Officer Dai and two pickets from the Binjiang Military Division.

Guan Zhenghao's platoon leader, squad leader and soldiers were all so frightened that they wanted to run but didn't dare.

Xiaoyu reacted suddenly and couldn't help but laugh.

Staff Officer Dai subconsciously looked at Xu Mingyuan, stepped forward and said coldly: "Comrade, please show your ID. We need to register your name, unit and ID number."

Guan Zhenghao said with a bitter face: "Comrade picket, please listen to my explanation..."

"I will listen to your explanation. Show me your ID first."

"yes."

Failure to cooperate will lead to disastrous consequences. Don't say that you are just a company commander, even regiment commanders and division commanders must cooperate. Guan Zhenghao didn't dare to explain anymore and hurriedly took out his military officer's ID card.

Staff Officer Dai took the officer's ID card, looked at it, handed it to the picket next to him for registration, and asked: "Comrade Guan Zhenghao, where is your temporary station?"

"In front, about two and a half kilometers from here."

"If you don't rest at the temporary station at night, what are you doing here?"

"Someone in the Linghai Reserve Battalion stole our military flag. It was not an ordinary military flag. They stole our honorary title flag."

"Are you here to arrest people and look for the military flag?"

"yes!"

"You brought troops to arrest people and look for military flags. Do your superiors know?"

"I...I didn't have time to report."

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, how should we deal with this kind of thing according to the regulations?"

"How to deal with what?"

"What should I do if the military flag is lost?"

Guan Zhenghao was silent for a moment and said anxiously: "I was wrong. I should report it to my superiors first and let the superior security department handle it."

Staff Officer Dai stared at him closely and asked, "Now that you know you were wrong, what did you do earlier?"

"I review."

"Has the instructor come yet?"

"Report, I am the instructor."

"Certificate."

"yes!"

It's over, it's over.

This time it's completely over!

Things that are obviously reasonable are ignored when picketed.

The instructor Chen Zhenhai complained so much that he could only honestly take out his military ID card.

Staff Officer Dai went about business and asked the two picket soldiers to register first, and then went to question Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao.

Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao were very cooperative and quickly showed their IDs.

The officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 274th Regiment noticed that Staff Officer Dai and others were not fake pickets. They were real pickets. Their jeeps had the words "Tri-Service Picket" on them. They all dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so they could only secretly stand in for the company commander and others. The instructor is worried.

After asking Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao, Staff Officer Dai turned around and asked, "Comrade Guan Zhenghao, is your deputy company commander here?"

"coming."

"Get out of the queue."

"Yes!" A lieutenant ran forward and stood at attention, saluting.

"Name."

"Report to the comrade on the picket, my name is Wang Xiaohong."

"The company commander and instructor will stay, and you will lead the team back to the temporary base."

"Comrade picket, please let me stay, our company commander..."

Staff Officer Dai's face straightened, and the deputy company commander did not dare to say anything.

Guan Zhenghao hurriedly and quietly gestured, and the deputy company commander realized that he could not confront the pickets, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone is here, come back with me!"

"Comrade Xu Mingyuan, let all the officers and soldiers of your battalion return to their tents to rest."

"yes!"

To deal with these new recruits, picketing is very useful.

Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that Ge Ju was so powerful that he even thought of forming a picket team.

At the same time, I feel that the deputy platoon leader and three soldiers of the Binjiang Military Division Guard Platoon are very good. Although they can only assist in logistics, as long as they wear the picket armed belt and picket epaulettes, they are the three armed forces that are feared by all active-duty officers and soldiers. picket!

While the veterans of the Linghai Reserve were secretly having fun, Staff Officer Dai pointed to the tent in front of them: "Okay, come in with me. Now we can talk."

"yes!"

The two people in the Linghai Reserve Battalion are Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao.

The 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 274th Regiment was also composed of two people. Guan Zhenghao and Chen Zhenhai sat down opposite Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao uneasily at the instruction of Staff Officer Dai.

Staff Officer Dai was sitting in the middle. Two pickets from the Binjiang Military Division, one standing next to Staff Officer Dai and the other sitting directly opposite him, opened the folder and prepared to take notes.

"Comrade Xu Mingyuan, Comrade Wu Zhenghao said that the officers and soldiers of your battalion stole their red sharp knife company honorary title flag. Please tell me truthfully whether this has happened."

"Yes, but it's not stealing."

"What is it if it's not stealing?"

"Misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding?"

Xu Mingyuan glanced sideways, and Ma Jintao immediately stood up and went out to get two red military flags from the company of sharp knives.

Xu Mingyuan pointed to the military flag and explained the context with a wry smile.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Guan Zhenghao was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that the reserve force in front of him was also the Red Sharp Knife Company.

Staff Officer Dai suppressed a smile and asked: "Since they are all red sharp knife companies, what should we do next?"

"impossible!"

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, what's impossible?"

"They can't be the Red Sharp Saber Company. There is only one Red Sharp Saber Company, and that's our company!"

"It's impossible for you to be the one, only we are!"

"What are you doing? Do you want to quarrel? Can such a quarrel produce any results?"

"Comrade picket, I'm sorry."

"Comrade Xu Mingyuan comes first. You said you are a red sharp knife company. What can you prove?"

Xu Mingyuan immediately talked about the predecessor of the Third Company of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, starting from the Anti-Japanese War, and talked about it with great confidence.

Guan Zhenghao and Chen Zhenhai were stunned for a while. They didn't say with a grimace until they could speak: "Comrade picket, the predecessor of our company was also established in Laixi, Dongshan in 1939. It also participated in the Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Huaihai, etc. Campaign battle 110 times!”

Staff Officer Dai took the record handed over by the picket soldier, looked at it carefully for a while, and then raised his head and said: "If you put it this way, the problem lies in the reorganization in 1985. They are all from the same root, but they were bifurcated due to the reorganization of the troops. , you are equivalent to cousins, as for arguing, are you blushing?"

"Why not? Comrade picket, there can only be one red sharp knife company!"

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, I am not partial to the Linghai Reserve Battalion. I think there is something wrong with your view."

"What is the problem."

"My predecessor is the same as yours, so why can't I inherit the honorary title of the Red Sharp Knife Company? Judging from the information you both just provided, you two are not the only ones who are qualified to inherit this honorary title. According to the principle of honor, one follows the other. , the troops transferred from the Huaye 13th Column during the previous reorganization, including the 903 Mobile Division that was changed to the Armed Police in 1996, are eligible to inherit!"

"This is different."

"What's different?"

"We have proof, we have evidence."

Staff Officer Dai asked: "What evidence?"

Guan Zhenghao said eagerly: "We have the honor room of the Red Sharp Saber Company, and we have the 'Three Treasures' who can prove that we are the Red Sharp Saber Company!"

Staff Officer Dai asked curiously: "Which three treasures?"

"A bayonet bent by our predecessors in the Xiangshan Blockade, a pair of liberation shoes worn out by officers and soldiers practicing their skills in the 1964 Army Competition, and an honorary flag of the 'Red Sharp Knife Company' awarded by the Ministry of National Defense. These three items The items can not only bear witness to the struggle of our company, but also prove that we are the Red Knife Company!"

"Comrade Xu Mingyuan, do you have any items that can prove that you are the Red Sharp Knife Company?"

Tell me the evidence, do you two know what I do? Do you two know where our camp is?

Xu Mingyuan was happy, and said very seriously: "Comrade picket, if you want to say that our company has many relics that can prove that we are the predecessors and even martyrs of the Red Sharp Knife Company, we have many."

"a lot of!"

"I'm not going to lie to you. The evidence provided by the Liaison Officer can only be traced back to the Xiangshan Blockade in the late period of the Liberation War. Our red relics can be traced back to the Anti-Japanese War. We have the bloody clothes worn by the martyrs when they sacrificed their lives. We have the blood-stained clothes worn by our predecessors from Japan. The Type 38 rifle and crooked machine gun captured by the Japanese!"

Xu Mingyuan thought about the exhibits in the exhibition hall of Sanhe Martyrs Cemetery, and then said: "There are telephones used by seniors when commanding operations, radio stations assigned to our company by superiors, and kettles used in the Battle of Crossing the River. The kettles were obtained from the Kuomintang army. Seized..."

Ma Jintao came to his senses and was filled with admiration. He thought, can you even compare the exhibits in the Hall of Honor with the exhibits in the Martyrs Cemetery?

Guan Zhenghao and Chen Zhenhai couldn't believe their ears.

Staff Officer Dai was also shocked and couldn't believe that the "Hong Kong Garrison" had so many "tokens".

"Where is the 'Red Knife Company' honorary flag awarded by the Ministry of National Defense, old squad leader. The 'Red Knife Company' honorary flag awarded by the Ministry of National Defense best proves who is the Red Knife Company. Do you have it?"

"have!"

"Really?"

"It's true. If you don't believe it, you can visit our company's honor room."

Isn't it just a flag of honor?

Not to mention that there is a real side in the honor room of the Binjiang Reserve Corps. Even if there is not one, you can still do it and do it well before doing it again.

The Ministry of Defense at that time was different from the Ministry of Defense now.

Who can tell what kind of fabric the honor flag was made from at that time, and what size it was made in. Am I still afraid that you will use it for forensic appraisal?

Xu Mingyuan put on a posture of saying, "I have everything, and I am more comprehensive than you." Guan Zhenghao was indeed frightened by the former captain of the criminal police team. He hesitated and said, "I want to report to my superiors."

Staff Officer Dai didn't want to be entangled anymore, let alone affect tomorrow's rescue, so he motioned to his subordinates to put away the two red sharp knife company flags, stood up and said: "I can't mediate the conflict between your two families, and I still have to report it to my superiors.

In order to avoid conflicts between your two families over the honorary title, I will keep these two red flags for you until my superiors confirm who is the real Red Sharp Knife Company or complete the immediate flood fighting and rescue mission. "

"Comrade picket, we must take away the military flag!"

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, are you worried that I will embezzle your military flag?"

"We're not worried about your corruption, so we're going to leave. We're going to Jiujiang!"

"You want to leave?"

"Our troops are stationed in Jianfu, and we belong to the Nanjing Military Region. After we received the order, we got on the train. Not only were we on the train, there was also a unit from the Guangzhou Military Region. According to the original plan, we had to change trains midway, but Nanhu There was a breach here, and our superiors ordered us to come to the rescue first with the troops from the Guangzhou Military Region."

Seeing that Staff Dai was thoughtful, Guan Zhenghao thought about it and said, "Our mission here is completed. Our superiors ordered us to go to Jiujiang early tomorrow morning."

"You are affiliated to the Nanjing Military Region, Comrade Xu Mingyuan, you are also affiliated to the Nanjing Military Region. Why did you two come to our Guangzhou Military Region to fight?"

"We didn't do anything, we didn't fight."

"Thankfully you didn't do anything, otherwise none of you would be able to go back!"

Staff Officer Dai snorted coldly and said without any doubt: "Considering that there was a reason, I didn't see you almost fighting tonight. But I have to take away these two military flags. If I don't take them away, who knows what you are waiting for?" Will there be trouble again soon?"

Guan Zhenghao said with a bitter face: "But..."

"Nothing but, I will hand over the military flag to my superior, and our superior will hand over the military flag to your two common superiors. It is difficult for an upright official to settle family affairs. These household matters between your two families will be handled by your two common superiors." deal with."

After speaking, Staff Officer Dai called two of his subordinates, took two military flags and left.

Who dares not to listen to the picket, not to mention the picket tonight is already very embarrassing. If it were a more serious picket, at least two people would be taken away and imprisoned by them tonight.

Guan Zhenghao had no choice but to watch helplessly as the three pickets took away the military flag.
