At this time, the general headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was originally a compound surnamed Du, and this courtyard was a brick and wood structure courtyard. This yard is not big, after all, there are many people living in it, but it is not small, but it covers a large area.

Mr. Peng and Zuo Quan walked in the front, and the others followed behind. Along the way, there are two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are responsible for standing guard, in fact, there are no soldiers standing guard in normal times, and today they specially arranged it to welcome Wei Lihuang.

These warriors were all in good spirits and stood tall.

Everyone admired the compound as they walked. Mr. Peng was very enthusiastic to introduce everyone to every room he passed by.

In the end, Mr. Peng took Wei Lihuang and others to the living room, and everyone sat down one after another. After Wei Lihuang sat down, the first thing he said asked was, "Why don't you see Brother Yujie", the Brother Jade in Wei Lihuang's mouth is Zhu De, Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

Zuo Quan hurriedly explained to Wei Lihuang, "Commander-in-Chief Zhu went down to the grassroots level to inspect the situation of the divisions and never came back." At this time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route came in from outside, and they put the cups and a pot of tea in their hands on the table, and then distributed the cups to everyone present. Every fighter moves with care.

Mr. Peng took the teapot from the table and poured some tea leaves into everyone's cups.

After pouring the tea, Mr. Peng said, "The conditions of our Eighth Route Army are simple, and these teas are also some very ordinary teas, so I hope you don't mind."

Wei Lihuang immediately agreed, "Mr. Peng has seen the outside, we follow the customs of the villagers, and we follow the customs of the villagers." Then Wei Lihuang went straight to the point: "I think everyone knows the purpose of my trip, right??" That is, we will assist you communists in building hospitals, and Chairman Chiang will allow the contemptible people to take full responsibility. ”

"How are you going to help?" Mr. Peng was afraid that he would be deceived again, and it was better to ask about the details.

"The construction of the hospital was funded by us, the hospital-related equipment and some medical staff. This time, we plan to build three regular large hospitals for you, and in order to implement this plan as soon as possible, I have brought all the relevant personnel here. ”

Wei Lihuang said while Mr. Peng pondered below. Mr. Peng pondered and found that if he really implemented what Wei Lihuang said, there would be no pitfalls. In addition, Wei Lihuang can be regarded as a person who speaks well in the national army, and Mr. Peng couldn't help but think in his heart, "Is it really that I am too careful??" People really want to help us sincerely?? ”

Wei Lihuang on the side noticed Mr. Peng's strangeness, "Mr. Peng, don't worry." This time, as long as the location of the hospital is selected, the necessary funds will be in place immediately, and the construction will start after the funds are in place. The reason why Wei Lihuang said this was to give Mr. Peng a reassurance.

What Wei Lihuang just said did make Mr. Peng a lot more down-to-earth. It's not that Mr. Peng really cares about money, but if the Eighth Route Army is allowed to advance money to build a hospital first, with the current financial situation of the Eighth Route Army, it will not support them to build a well-equipped regular hospital at all. If the Kuomintang cheated and refused to admit it halfway through the construction, then the Eighth Route Army would really be busy in vain.

Subsequently, everyone present had an in-depth discussion on the various details of how to build the hospital.

After everyone had discussed the steps to set up the hospital.

Before leaving, Wei Lihuang handed over the experts and accountants he brought to Mr. Peng, "Mr. Peng, in order to save time, don't toss back and forth, these experts in various fields will live with you from now on." Not only that, but tomorrow we will come again with a very professional delegation to help you choose the most suitable location to set up the hospital. Mr. Peng, you must help me take care of these people, they are all precious and expensive."

Mr. Peng was really surprised, but he didn't expect Wei Lihuang to be so thoughtful, which shows that Wei Lihuang himself sincerely wanted to help the Eighth Route Army. Mr. Peng was a little moved in his heart.

Mr. Peng quickly came back to his senses and swore to Wei Lihuang, "Brother Junru, don't worry, I will definitely take care of these people." What they were like when they came, and what they were when they returned. ”

"Then I'm relieved. It's not too early, and it's time for me to go. ”

"Huh?? This is going to go?? Why don't you stay for lunch and then leave?? Now it's time for dinner. Mr. Peng warmly invited.

Wei Lihuang waved his hand: "I'm really sorry, I also want to have lunch with everyone, but there are indeed many things waiting for me to go back and deal with." "The reason why Wei Lihuang didn't stay for dinner was that on the one hand, he was really busy with official business. On the other hand, Wei Lihuang also knew that if he stayed for dinner, Mr. Peng would definitely take out the best things to entertain him. The living conditions of the Eighth Route Army were already difficult enough, and Wei Lihuang could no longer add burdens to them.

Wei Lihuang took the remaining two senior officials and walked out. Wei Lihuang was a little faster, for fear that he would be stopped by Mr. Peng for lunch.

The experts and accountants brought by Wei Lihuang stayed at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the accountants were left to calculate the actual cost of building the hospital, so as to promote the Kuomintang to allocate funds faster.

In a blink of an eye, Wei Lihuang had already walked into the courtyard, and Mr. Peng couldn't stop him anymore when he saw this.

Mr. Peng had no choice but to hurry out with everyone to see Wei Lihuang.

The news that the Kuomintang was going to help the Eighth Route Army build a hospital spread rapidly within the Eighth Route Army, and almost all the troops of the Eighth Route Army knew about it for a while.

At noon dinner time, the Seventh Company of Xiamengou Village was stationed.

Lao Cai was holding a bowl of thin rice, which was mixed with some wild vegetables. As for how thin the rice is, there are only about 20 rice grains in a bowl of rice.

Lao Cai squatted next to Shen Yunjie and chatted with Shen Yunjie while eating: "Company commander, have you heard??" I heard that the Kuomintang wants to help us build a hospital? ”

Shen Yunjie next to him glanced at Lao Cai with some disdain, "Can I not have heard??" Recently, the news has been going crazy, I don't want to know, I need to know. ”

"Company commander, are you reliable about this??"

"What do I know to go?? Is the Kuomintang doing less shit and not wiping its ass?? It's only a sure thing when the hospital is built."

"Well, that makes sense."

Shen Yunjie and Lao Cai squatted in the courtyard without a pair, chatting while eating.

A soldier of the Eighth Route Army appeared in front of Shen Yunjie and Lao Cai. The soldier of the Eighth Route Army first gave Shen Yunjie and Lao Cai a military salute, and then said to Shen Yunjie: "Company Commander Shen." The battalion commander asked you to go to the battalion headquarters. ”

Shen Yunjie immediately returned a military salute to the soldier, "Little brother, please ask, do you know what the battalion commander asked me to do?" ”

The warrior shook his head.

Shen Yunjie didn't care about finishing the meal, put down the bowl in his hand and followed the soldier to the battalion headquarters.

Lao Cai kindly reminded Shen Yunjie on the side, "Company commander." You'd rather slow down. As soon as Lao Cai finished speaking, Shen Yunjie was gone, and Lao Cai shook his head helplessly and continued to eat his own food.

"Report" A loud report came out of Shen Yunjie's mouth, and Shen Yunjie was standing at the door of the third battalion commander's room at this time.

The third battalion commander looked at the door and found that it was Shen Yunjie, so he hurriedly called Shen Yunjie into the house.

The room where the third battalion commander lived was not large, and there was only one earthen kang in the house, and some toiletries and some personal belongings of the third battalion commander were placed in the corner of the wall next to it.

Because the space in the house was not very large, the third battalion commander was sitting on the earthen kang and Shen Yunjie was standing next to him.

The third battalion commander motioned for Shen Yunjie to sit down, so he didn't have to be so restrained.

Shen Yunjie looked at the third battalion commander and asked cautiously, "Battalion commander, what are you looking for me?" ”

"The Kuomintang wants to help us build a hospital, so you must have heard of it now, right?"

The third battalion commander said, and Shen Yunjie nodded.

"I came to you today for this matter, I just received news from the regiment headquarters. The day after tomorrow, an inspection delegation composed of the Kuomintang and some people from the headquarters will come to our 735th Regiment for on-the-spot inspection. Isn't our 735th Regiment stationed in two villages now?? The above means that both villages will conduct inspections, so I would like to entrust you with the task of receiving the inspection team."

Shen Yunjie had an embarrassed expression on his face after hearing this, if Shen Yunjie was asked to fight devils, then Shen Yunjie would definitely take the lead without saying a word. But Shen Yunjie was completely stumped by letting Shen Yunjie receive the inspection team, and besides, he had never received any other outsiders.

The third battalion commander looked at the expression on Shen Yunjie's face, "Actually, there is nothing difficult about reception, that is, you find some people to accompany people to walk around and help others fight and run errands." Besides, the regiment commander, political commissar and I will be present at that time, and you are just cooperating with us. ”

After the third battalion commander explained, Shen Yunjie breathed a sigh of relief: "Battalion commander, you said it earlier, it scared me." ”

"It's just that we are receiving outsiders this time, you must choose some soldiers from the past who are spiritual, don't look for some crooked melons and cracked dates, let others see them and think we are some bandits and robbers" The third battalion commander pointed Shen Yunjie from the side, which is also the main reason why the third battalion commander found Shen Yunjie to carry out this task.

The third battalion commander reminded Shen Yunjie that he knew everything in his heart, "Okay, battalion commander, rest assured, I will not embarrass our 735th Regiment,"

The commander of the third battalion was very satisfied, "Well, it's good that you know." There's nothing else to do, so you can go back and prepare. Remember to come to the camp headquarters on time at 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Battalion commander, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go first," Shen Yunjie withdrew from the third battalion commander's room with a very light movement.

On the way back, Shen Yunjie kept choosing a suitable object in his heart.

When Shen Yunjie walked to his company, Shen Yunjie, the candidate for the mission this time, had almost already been selected in his heart.

As soon as Shen Yunjie returned to the company, Lao Cai came to Shen Yunjie with Shen Yunjie's remaining half bowl of porridge, and Lao Cai handed the bowl to Shen Yunjie.

Shen Yunjie looked at the half bowl of porridge, originally he didn't want to continue to eat and directly selected the right candidate, but after thinking about it, the food was not easy to come by, and he couldn't waste the food. Shen Yunjie hesitated for a moment and then took the half bowl of porridge.

Shen Yunjie gulped down the porridge, the porridge had been left for a while, it was already cold, and it didn't affect Shen Yunjie at all, and poured it into his mouth in a big gulp.

Lao Cai was afraid that Shen Yunjie would choke on Shen Yunjie like this, and hurriedly reminded Shen Yunjie: "Company commander, slow down, no one will rob you." ”

While Lao Cai was talking, Shen Yunjie had already eaten half a bowl of porridge, Shen Yunjie first put the empty bowl aside in a place that was not in the way, and then said to Lao Cai: "Lao Cai, you go and gather the soldiers of the whole company together, I have a task to give to everyone." ”

Lao Cai's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a task, "Okay, I'll go and notify everyone to gather right away." ”
