Chapter 13: The sudden change in the state of affairs is at a loss

Two figures in their twenties wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army suddenly flashed in the dark corners of the street, and after carefully observing the surroundings, they caught up with Fang Jiren lightly and silently.

Shadow A followed Fang Jiren and said, "Sixth brother, do you really want to leave the Sixth Company and go to the health team?" This, this will be too bad for us in the future, you don't want to go. Can you talk to the regiment commander again, let's stay in the sixth company, so that we have a unit in our hands that we can pull out and put into battle at any time, even if you are a big soldier for the time being, otherwise it will be too inconvenient for us to connect and transmit information in the future. ”

Francis was surprised and said, "Huh? Why are you two here?! It's too risky, and if people see it, we'll be exposed. Come on, let's go over there. ”

The three men quickly dodged into the alley next to the street, and stopped to sit on the ground in a secluded, dark corner.

Fang Jiren: "It's useless, if I go to the head of the regiment again, he will doubt me even more." It seems that I can't stay in the group for the time being, and I may have to leave, which is the worst. ”

Shadow B said anxiously, "That's not going to work. Master, you can't go, what should we do if you leave? I don't even have a backbone, I don't know the bottom of my heart, how can I complete the errand given to us by the boss? Otherwise, let's both go with you. ”

"Nonsense! How can this work? We're all gone, who's going to do the errands the boss gave us? Even if you two die, you have to die for me in the replenishment group, understand? Fang Jiren paused for a moment and comforted: "You two are also old intelligence, don't panic, in fact, I have the advantage and convenience of leaving." If you continue to stay in the regiment, you must first hide yourself and never reveal your true identity, and secondly, collect intelligence. One of you is in the regimental headquarters and the other is in the sixth company, so that you can fully understand and grasp the details of the whole regiment. Then, according to the contact address, contact person and password I agreed on for you, send the information in time, can you not make the slightest mistake, do you remember it? ”

Figures A and B replied, "I remember them all." "Don't worry, young master, you can't be wrong."

"Junsheng, you have to be extra cautious in the regiment headquarters, there may be hidden agents in the regiment headquarters, and you have to find a way to dig out this scourge as soon as possible. Fucai, you are now the acting company commander of the sixth company, you must firmly control the team, and strive to master the second battalion as soon as possible, I estimate that the regiment commander will officially appoint you soon. When I was in the company headquarters just now, in front of the second platoon commander and the third platoon commander, there are some things I can't say, you remember, you must manage the sixth company well. ”

"Me? Sixth brother, can I do it? Ma Fucai said unconfidently.

Francis said with certainty: "Why not? You were the first to infiltrate the supplementary regiment, and I have taught you so much since I came, and now there is a shortage of commanders in the regiment, and it is the time to employ people. Rich, don't be weak-hearted, the head of the regiment will do it if you want to. ”

Deng Junsheng: "Young master, I hope you won't leave, the head of the regiment will definitely be reluctant." ”

Ma Fucai: "Not really. Sixth brother, how convenient and happy it is for us to be together. ”

Francis: "Well, I don't want to go, but I hope I won't." Oh, by the way, there's one more important thing that you both need to do separately and privately. If I leave the health team and the supplementary regiment, you should encourage the soldiers of the Sixth Company to go to the regiment headquarters to make trouble with the regiment commander and political commissar at the appropriate time, so as to boost morale and raise morale, and at the same time stir up the regimental headquarters. Can you both understand? ”

Deng Junsheng: "Wonderful. Master, I understand, I know what to do. Ay? Why wait until you're gone? Now that you've been removed from your post and left the Sixth Company to join the health team, I think in a few days you can start encouraging the soldiers to make trouble. ”

"Yes, I think I can do that, too." Ma Fucai said approvingly.

Francis: "Okay, you can do it." However, you two can't stand out, you can only agitate in private, and on the surface you have to pretend to obstruct it, and you have to do it cleverly. ”

"Sixth brother, I understand." "Young Master, don't worry."

Ma Fucai handed the black leather briefcase in his hand to Fang Jiren and said, "Sixth brother, what do you think of this black leather bag?" Do you want to hand it over to the regimental headquarters? ”

"Where did it come from? What's in it? ”

"This black leather bag was picked up during the day after the battle to stop the devils in the east of the village today, when I was cleaning the battlefield. A man in a suit in the Kuomintang army chased me in vain, but I didn't give it to him. There are two documents in the bag, one is the document of the Nanjing Wang puppet government approving the excavation of coal, iron, and copper mines in the Yufeng Mountain, and the other is the cooperation agreement signed between the Nanjing Wang puppet government and the North China Japanese Army Headquarters to jointly excavate mines and authorize the extermination of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in the western Hebei region. Nothing else. ”

Deng Junsheng: "Hmph! This little devil is really insidious and cunning, they came to China to steal strategic materials, but they pulled the Nanjing government to cover up. It's despicable and shameless! ”

Ma Fucai: "Ouch! This sucks now! Sixth brother, it's clear that the devil is coming for our Fang family. What to do? You have an idea. ”

"Well, let me think about it. You two will take care of this matter, I will report to the health team first, and then go to the regiment headquarters and hand it over to the regiment commander and let him deal with it. ”

Ma Fucai: "Huh! Commander, can he handle it? I don't have an idea about big things, and I am confused about small things. ”

Deng Junsheng: "What if I don't hand it over to the head of the regiment?" That's all I can do. ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Finally, I'll tell you both about the one thing you both have to do for yourselves. After the troops withdraw from Shengcang Village, the devils will definitely enter the village to rest and recuperate. Therefore, before our troops withdrew, the two of you quietly sprinkled croon powder in the nine public wells in the village, so that the Japanese soldiers drank diarrhea and weakened their physical strength and combat effectiveness. ”

Deng Junsheng: "Young master, where can we find croton powder?" ”

"When I went to the health team before, I found that there was a large bag of croton flour in the health team, which was estimated to be about ten catties, which was enough. I'll steal it out tonight and divide it into nine packs, and tomorrow morning you will come to the health team to find me and take it, don't forget? ”

Ma Fucai: "Sixth brother, is this okay?" After the devil left, the villagers of Shengcang Village came back and drank the well water, so don't they have to run away? ”

"It's easy to do. I'll chop some antidiarrheal herbs and divide them into nine packets for you. Fucai, you quietly left a few warriors to change into civilian clothes, take antidiarrheal herbs and hide outside the village, and when the devils withdraw from Morikura Village, immediately return to the village and sprinkle them into the well, and then go after the large army. ”

Deng Junsheng: "Well, this method is good. Not only did it rectify the little devils, but it didn't hurt the villagers. ”

Ma Fucai: "Okay. Sixth brother, listen to you, just do it. ”

Fang Jiren: "Okay, you guys go back quickly, go separately, and drill the alley." ”

Deng Junsheng and Ma Fucai replied: "Young master, there will be a period later." "Sixth brother, take care."

The three of them slowly got up and looked around vigilantly. Then, silently, they disappeared into the thick night.

Late at night. Everyone in the ancestral hall looked anxious. Yu Genshan stood up and said firmly:

"Comrades, now that the little devils have completely surrounded the village of Morikura, it can be said that we are facing unprecedented extreme difficulties. Therefore, before dawn, we must break out from the west of the village and move to the mountains. Chief of Staff, do you have anything to add? ”

Chief of Staff: "No. Commander, I just don't understand, it's been so many days, the devil has been staring at us and fighting to the death, and he seems to know everything about us, making us controlled everywhere and passive all the time. Now the devil has sent more heavy troops to encircle and suppress, why is this? ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Yes, all our actions seem to have been reported to the devils in advance, and the devils immediately made targeted deployments, which caught us off guard and were very passive, and the casualties of the soldiers were relatively large, and this passive situation must be reversed as soon as possible." ”

Yu Genshan: "Yes, this is a very serious real problem. But now we don't have time to dwell on it. The immediate problem is that we must break through as soon as possible. Okay, now let's go back immediately, and prepare according to the deployment just now......"

Two soldiers walked into the ancestral hall with their burdens, and after putting down their burdens, one soldier reported: "Regiment commander, the military region has sent someone to send us something." And a letter to you. ”

Yu Genshan was confused and said, "Did the military region send someone?" The military region is more than a hundred miles away from here, how do you know that we have moved to Shengcang Village? ”

Morikura Village. The health team is stationed.

Fang Jiren came to the regimental health team station, walked to the gate of the courtyard and was stopped by the sentry:

"Stop! Who are you? What are you doing here so late? ”

"I came to report for duty, and the regiment commander sent me to work in the health team, you see this is an order."

The sentry took the order, looked at it, and returned it to Francis. "Oh, that's it, welcome, welcome. Get on in. ”

"Comrade, where is Captain Jiang?"

"Captain Jiang went to the company for a medical inspection, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Yo, Captain Jiang isn't here? So who do I report to? Comrade, who else is the leader of the health team? ”

"Vice Captain Glenland has just come back for a while, you go to find her, it's in the West Wing."

"Good. I'm going to go to her, thank you. ”

When Francis walked into the courtyard and saw a slender and graceful figure swaying from the window of the west wing, he immediately thought that this must be the young and beautiful deputy captain of the health team that he had heard of for a long time. Fang Jiren walked to the door: "Report." ”

"Come in." A crisp and soft voice came from the room.

Franciscan pushed the door in, walked in front of Glenland, stood up and saluted, and said loudly:

"Report to the chief, Francis reports to you, this is an order from the head of the regiment."

Dressed in a tunic white coat, Glenland put down the utensils in his hand, took the order and looked at it before taking it to the kerosene lamp, and then raised his head and looked at Fang Jiren carefully. Glenland put the order on the table, sat down in a chair, and said:

"Comrade Francis, please take a seat."

"Yes! I would like to ask the chief for instructions. With that, Francis sat down on a stool, across the table from Glenland.

Gu Lanlan burst out laughing, and said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade Fang Jiren, don't call me Chief anymore, you can call me Head Nurse Ge or Xiao Ge in the future." ”

Fang Jiren, who was sitting in a precarious position, replied solemnly: "Yes, chief." Ah no, Head Nurse Ge. ”

"Comrade Fang Jiren, the head of the regiment transferred you to the health team, did he say that you were in charge of what aspect of work? It's just such a simple sentence on the appointment, and nothing else is said, how can I arrange your work? ”

"Huh? This? Oh, the regimental commander may mean that I am in charge of the overall work of the health team. You tell me? Nurse Ge. ”

"Responsible for the overall work? Just you? The health team is a place to treat diseases and save lives, and it is related to a person's life and death and health. Comrade Fang Jiren, do you know about medicine and medical treatment? ”

"Yes, I know a little bit, I know a little bit about it."

"Huh? Ooh? You're pretty confident. Comrade Francis, I must tell you solemnly and unequivocally that there must be no negligence or deviation in any work of the health team, otherwise it will be a matter of human life, and meticulousness and accuracy are the most basic requirements for our medical workers. Comrade Francis, you must keep in mind what I said. ”

"Yes, I remember it all, Nurse Ge. Please assign the work. ”

"It's too late today, let's talk about work tomorrow. Comrade Francis, when did you join the army? ”

"No, not too long, just two months."

"Huh? Two months? So you're a recruit, huh? Alas! This sloppy leader, how can he be so sloppy? The health team is not just anyone. ”

"Huh? Nurse Ge, you're not right to say that, right? What happened to the recruits? Can't recruits work in the health team? Who didn't come from the recruits? Veteran......"

"Okay, okay, I don't have time to discuss the problem of recruits and veterans with you. Francis, I ask you, what company are you? ”

"Two battalions and six companies."

"What was your position before you came to the health team?"

"Commander of the Sixth Company."

"What? Captain? Just you? Hey, Francis, you can be a company commander as a recruit who has only been in the army for two months? You really don't need to make a draft. ”

"Really, really. Nurse Ge, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm really the commander of the sixth company, I came all the way from the squad leader, platoon leader, and acting deputy company commander, why do I lie to you when I say nonsense, what I said is true, you should believe me. ”

"Okay, Fang Jiren, don't worry, don't worry, even if what you say is true, I will believe you for the time being."

"What do you mean by believing? Hey, believe it or not, what's the use of believing it or not? What do you know as a woman about this war? ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking back to each other. Fang Jiren, to be serious, we have all heard that the soldiers of the Sixth Company are very witty and brave in fighting devils. ”

"False praise, false praise, not to be believed."

"I've also heard that you have made meritorious contributions many times in the Sixth Company, haven't you?"

"Killing the enemy to serve the country is as it should be, it's insignificant."

"Hey, listen to you, why do you look like an old pedant? It's a bit oily again. ”

"Ahem, you don't believe what I say anyway, what do you care about my tone? Delay the work, don't talk about it. Nurse Ge, it's not early, I'm staying in that house? I'm sleepy right now. With that, Francis stood up and wanted to leave.

"Francis, sit down for me! I'm not done yet. Let me ask you, now that the situation is so harsh, why didn't the regiment commander let you stay in the Sixth Company, but instead transferred you to the health team? What are the considerations of the head of the regiment? ”

"This? How do I know this, Nurse Ge, you should ask the head of the regiment. ”

"Fang Jiren, do you have something to hide from me?"

"No, no. Since you have to ask, then I'll tell you. The troops successfully withdrew into the village of Shengcang, temporarily getting out of danger, and the troops could take a breath and rest. Therefore, the regiment commander thinks that it is more important for me to work in the health team now than for me to stay in the sixth company, so he transferred me. ”

"Oh, that's what happened, it makes sense. Ay? No, no, it's reasonable to hear what you say, but I can't make sense when I think about it again. ”

"Why doesn't it make sense? That makes sense. Head Nurse Ge, that's what happened. ”

"You make sense, but it doesn't make sense to me. Although the troops have temporarily extricated themselves from the predicament, there are many casualties and attrition, and now there is a lack of military commanders in various posts in the regiment, and the devils will launch an attack on Shengcang Village at any time. ”

"Oh, Nurse Ge, you're just worrying, the devil is really attacking again, I'll just go back to the sixth company right away."

"you, you're a three-year-old here? Francis, you have to tell me honestly, why did the regimental commander transfer you from the 6th Company to the health team? Say! ”

"I, I, Nurse Ge, don't let me say it, I'm embarrassed."

"No! You have to say. Francis, speak quickly. ”

"I, I just became a company commander for a day, and I was removed from my post by the regiment commander."

"Removed in one day? And then I'm going to transfer you to the health team? Is it? ”

"Ahh

"Why was it removed? Francis, did you make a mistake? ”

"No, I didn't make any mistakes. Who knows why the head of the regiment would do this? ”

"It's no wonder you didn't make a mistake. Alas! Why is the head of the regiment so confused? How can you assign a person who has made a mistake to the health team? What nonsense. ”

"Distribution? Nurse Ge, how can you say that about me? Speak like a prisoner. Otherwise, Nurse Ge, you should write a letter to the head of the regiment immediately, saying that the health team refuses to accept it and returns me to the Sixth Company, okay? ”

"Alright, Francis, let's talk about it today. You go to live in the guard squad in the south room. Let's go, I still have a lot of work to do. ”

"Huh? Nurse Ge, don't you write to the head of the regiment. Well, it's too late, or write again tomorrow, you can go to bed early. ”

"What do you sleep on? Don't you see I'm busy here? ”

"Oh. Nurse Ge, let me help you. ”

"Can you help me? Hey, what do you know? What will you do? Let's go, Francis, give me a walk right away. Glenland urges impatiently.
