Chapter 736 Reborn?
The Longfengxi Water and Land Hub Prisoner Camp is located on the bank of the Jialing River, covering a total area of about 3 square meters. It is a centralized detention camp built based on the facilities of the former 2nd Security Brigade.
Considering the arrangements made by the Ye Province Military Region for the surrendered soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Guard Brigades, they will continue to be incorporated into the armed sequence in the future, so Lu Chong did not deliberately abuse them in terms of basic treatment.
The camp has basically been equipped with all the necessary facilities, and the surrendered soldiers will be organized to build whatever is missing.
They are idle anyway, so why not let them do more construction? This can not only use up their excess energy, but also improve the comfort of their living environment. They will definitely be able to use it later, so it's really a three-pronged approach.
After all, Lu Chong didn't expect that no one in Yucheng would make mistakes in the future. It would be quite good to use it as a labor camp at that time. You can't just shoot people for making mistakes, right?
Too rude, he doesn't like it!
On the contrary, treating prisoners in this kind of military-quality labor camp environment can be considered an excellent humanitarian measure.
The Longfengxi prisoner-of-war camp was equipped with living facilities, medical facilities, sanitary facilities, food supply facilities, exercise areas, etc. that could accommodate 10,000 people.
The living facilities mainly consist of concrete barracks and emergency tents, which are divided into bunk beds and large dormitories; the medical facilities include a medical room with 20 beds, and a small supply of daily cold and fever medicines; the sanitary facilities have 50 toilets/showers for every 200 people, and are equipped with a simple sewage system, which discharges into the nearby Jialing River.
The food supply department has built 10 large tempered greenhouses that can accommodate a thousand people for dining together. The food ration for one person is implemented according to the standard for non-combat personnel, which is just the right balance between not starving to death and not being full. A lot of physical labor is also required every day to ensure maximum physical and mental consumption.
A 4-meter-high wall was built around the entire Longfengxi prisoner-of-war camp, with barbed wire on the top. It was powered by electricity (diesel generators provide 24-hour power). There was a watchtower every 200 meters, equipped with searchlights and cameras to cover blind spots. There was also a 10-meter-wide isolation zone on the periphery.
In order to guard these nearly 1 prisoners, the well-equipped 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Airborne Assault Brigade is deployed here. The battalion has nearly 700 people and works in three shifts to achieve 24-hour monitoring.
According to the nature of the mission, the 3rd Infantry Battalion was temporarily divided into patrol teams, outposts, monitoring centers, search teams, and rapid response forces.
The rapid reaction force is composed of the 1st Company of the 150rd Infantry Battalion, with a total of about 10 people, equipped with 3 Mengshi 4 armored assault vehicles and Lynx all-terrain weapon platforms. It is mainly responsible for peripheral patrols and emergency support.
In addition to these regular garrisons, there is even an intelligence analysis team that is specifically responsible for monitoring the movements of prisoners and preventing riots or escape plans.
It can be said that under such tight protection, even if the number of prisoners in the Longfengxi prisoner camp was dozens of times more than the defenders, there was no possibility of escape!
So after quickly recognizing the reality, the surrendered soldiers detained in the Longfengxi prisoner camp also quickly accepted the reality and became prisoners obediently, moving wherever they were needed and not daring to act rashly.
Seeing how cooperative the prisoners were, Xiang Zhi, the commander of the Third Infantry Battalion in charge of the area, applied to his superiors and organized an event to relax the prisoners - the first prisoner camp sports meeting.
The sports events are divided into two categories: running and gymnastics equipment.
跑步细分为400米、800米、1500米、3000米、武装3000米、武装5000米、重装5000米；器械则分为单双杠，单项是一到八练习。
每个项目奖励档次划分：第一名第一档、2~3名第二档、4~10名第三档、10~20名第4档、20~30名第5档。
The basic benefits of the above five levels are normal soldier meals, in simple terms, being able to eat enough every day.
The first three levels allow people to regularly receive some extra enjoyment after eating, such as extra beef and mutton, reward cigarettes, a small amount of wine, etc.
As the first in the first tier, you will get the privilege of not having to work. As long as you don’t violate the camp regulations or run away, you can do whatever you want!
With this regulation, and without allowing overlap in participating events, out of the entire prisoner camp of more than 9000 people, a maximum of 7200 people can enter the top five tiers and enjoy basic treatment of having enough food. As long as everyone works hard, there is hope!
Therefore, as soon as the news of the first sports meeting in the prisoner camp came out, it quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of prisoners to participate, and they directly switched from the state of lying like zombies to the state of king of the roll.
After work, they would find time to do a few push-ups, and would spontaneously run around the camp. Even after lights out and before the wake-up bell rang, a large number of prisoners would secretly open their books.
After all, no one knows how long they will live as captives like this, and who would want to starve when they can have a full stomach?
More than 9000 people selected the first 7200!
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the motivation. As a result, during this period, the physical condition of many prisoners was even better than when they were in the 1st and 2nd Guard Brigades!
...
"Please come in, Team Leader Jia! This is the newly built sports field in our prisoner camp!"
Jia Daiquan looked in the direction pointed by the battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, Xiang Zhi, and saw a large sports field in front of him, with a 400-meter standard running track, dozens of neatly arranged parallel and parallel bars, and a 400-meter obstacle course under construction.
Apart from the fact that the ground is simply compacted earth and not covered with concrete or plastic, the entire sports field looks really good.
This made Jia Daiquan secretly sigh that Xiang Zhi is really a talented person!
Not to mention his military command ability, just his ability to cooperate with his superiors' intentions is enough to make him a thumbs up!
It was ostensibly a sports meet, but in reality it was a training exercise to select the best soldiers from among these prisoners!
...
At this moment, the simple sports field was bustling with activity. Dozens of people were jumping up and down on the parallel bars like motor rotors, and voices of encouragement were heard all around.
"Old Tan, be aggressive! Pull two more!"
"Lao Xu, are you okay? Do you still want to have a full meal?"
...
"Fuck, Glasses, what have you been doing?!!!"
"Are you coming back??!"
As the screams were heard, Jia Daiquan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a prisoner who was doing the muscle-up exercise on the horizontal bar. When he used inertia to swing back and push forward to get on the bar, he lost his grip and launched himself out, at least 3 or 4 meters away.
However, because the ground was newly turned soil, which was relatively fluffy and soft, the captive who was thrown out struggled on the ground for a while before getting up and quickly returning to the horizontal bar of the competition.
Due to the great distance between them, Jia Daiquan could not hear what the other party was saying to the examiner, a soldier from the Airborne Assault Brigade. However, seeing that he quickly got back to the argument, he guessed that he was probably asking the examiner for another chance or something like that.
This scene aroused Jia Daiquan's great interest. When the Airborne Assault Brigade was dealing with the 1st and 2nd Security Brigades, these soldiers did not surrender at the first sight of the enemy, but they were almost there. Their fighting spirit could be said to be extremely poor.
This also made Jia Daiquan have a preconceived notion and he did not have a good impression of this group of surrendered soldiers. Selecting them to join the Yucheng Correctional Team was a helpless move. One reason was that the commander had given the order, and the other was that there were no other people available.
After all, it is impossible to let the elite soldiers of the Airborne Brigade go directly!
But the scene just now showed him another side of these surrendered soldiers. They actually had such bloodiness? !
Can the environment really change people and forge scrap iron into fine steel?
"Come on, Captain Xiang, let's go in and take a look!"
After saying that, Jia Daiquan couldn't wait to walk into the sports field. Seeing this, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion also followed with a happy look on his face.
The third battalion commander Xiang Zhi was quite familiar with Jia Daiquan. He was the commander of the last infantry battalion of the Airborne Assault Brigade. He was disabled in the Zhanjiang defense battle and was about to retire. He came here this time to select soldiers.
At the same time, what is more important is that the other party came here on behalf of the commander. Seeing that the other party is satisfied, Xiang Zhi is naturally very happy, because it means that the commander will also know!
