In order to increase the intimidation power of ordinary citizens, the concession painted the whole body of this truck in bright red and gave it a beautiful nickname "Red Maria".
In history, after the public concession was occupied by the Japanese army, these police vehicles continued to be used by the Wang Puppet police, and they fell into the hands of the government after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

He had to be fined at least 300 yuan, and they didn’t know which team would fall into the hands of the lucky patrols.
Fortunately, the guard post at Luqiaokou in Sichuan was equipped with a telephone, and Stevens's armored vehicle unit was not caught off guard by the Japanese. At this time, the heads of the patrol room were all absent. At this time, it was a Chinese-American duty inspector in the central arrest room who gave the alarm.

Finally, the lead inspector Stevens is an experienced veteran. While roaring, he kicked and kicked and stabilized the minds of his men. The lieutenant told his men that they might have crashed into the opponent's roundabout troops. At this time, he has fallen into a predicament, and in this case, only by struggling to win can it be possible to seize the first line of life.
