Chapter 59: Quarrels and plots to seize power

Morikura Village. Liu's blacksmith shop. Under the grape trellis in the precincts.

Yang Shushan retorted disapprovingly: "You, although what you said is very reasonable, but you can't just pull the team, we are a revolutionary army, there are disciplines and rules, can't you just do what the regiment commander asks you to do?" It's always wrong for you to do that, right? After all, the regiment commander didn't approve you to form any special columns. ”

"What's wrong? The task given to me by the head of the regiment is tantamount to approval. ”

"No, no, without the official order of the regiment commander, the special column you formed is just your personal private behavior, which is completely wrong."

"Wrong? So what do you think I should do? Platoon Commander Yang, why don't we change the two of us, I'll go back to the regiment, how about you take over this task? ”

"What's this? As long as the regimental commander gives an order, I will accept it and guarantee that it will be completed. ”

"Huh? Just you? Look how easy and easy you say. Platoon Commander Yang, I'm afraid you don't have the heart or the strength. You say, how do you accomplish this task? ”

"Me? I? Of course I'll have a way. Do you have a solution? ”

"Platoon Commander Yang, hundreds of scattered and wounded soldiers, militiamen, and people are likely to be scattered, hiding in more than a dozen villages or in the wilderness. Right now, we are in the Japanese-occupied area, and we have to go village by village to find the soldiers, the wounded, the militia, and the masses who were separated in the battle. After finding it, hide it on the spot and heal the wounds and diseases. It can be said that there are many dangers and great difficulties. In order to avoid the constant sweep and search of many small units of the devils, and in order to be ready to move at any time, I had to organize the soldiers I found and the comrades who had or had basically recovered their combat effectiveness, and formed a team that could be ready to fight and win the battle. So, I had to do it. Platoon Commander Yang, am I at fault? Just now, you said that you have a way, so let me ask you, are you familiar with the terrain and roads in this area? Are you familiar with the specifics of so many villages? How many villagers do you know here? Will they believe you? Will they willingly, risking their lives, help you find someone? Will they hand over to you the fighters and wounded they find? More importantly, can you infiltrate the county seat to find out the enemy's situation? And I can do it all. ”

Yang Shushan was said by Fang Jiren to be reasonable, and he had no words to argue, so he looked for his steps and said:

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, who knows if what you said is true or false? Let's go back with me, let's not hang around with him here, and delay the work. Yang Shushan looked unconvinced, and led the soldiers to turn around and walk out of the courtyard.

The county seat of Lin'an County. The front gate of the Ding family's compound. Entrance of the Japanese army headquarters. It is heavily guarded and guarded. "Yes, yes." Changgui came over with a carriage.

Two Japanese soldiers pounced on them with bayonets, and brutally stopped the carriage and shouted:

"Yaga! Open the road, open the road fast! ”

"Phew! "Changgui took hold of the reins. Ding Ruxuan jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of the Japanese soldiers with a bayonet shining with cold light, and said in proficient Japanese without humility or arrogance: "I am a friend of your commander Eiichi Nakagawa, and he asked me to come, so hurry up and go in and report it." ”

The Japanese soldiers looked at Ding Ruxuan suspiciously, and one of the Japanese soldiers turned around and ran into the gate. Another Japanese soldier with a bayonet stopped Ding Ruxuan and the carriage. It didn't take much effort, and the Japanese soldiers followed a Japanese soldier Cao Cao who was carrying a gun and a knife.

The Japanese military Cao looked at Fang Jiren: "Yours is Ding Ruxuan, I have seen you." Search. ”

The Japanese soldiers carefully searched Ding Ruxuan's body. Shaking his head at Juncao.

Japanese military Cao: "Mr. Ding, please come with me, Commander Nakagawa is waiting for you, please." ”

Ding Ruxuan cranked the folding fan in his hand and walked into the door of his original house with square steps.

In the living room of the west courtyard of the Ding family's compound. Ding Wenqian walked over restlessly.

Fusheng hurriedly pushed the door in a panic and came in, panting and saying:

"Third master, it's not good. The young master and Changgui are back, and they also brought back a living person. I asked the young master to go home through the back door, but he had to go to the devil officer in the middle courtyard first, that, that one called Nakagawa Eiichi. I can't stop him. Master, what can I do about this? Why don't you go over there and take a look? ”

Ding Wenqian couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, his brows furrowed, but then he was relieved and relaxed:

"Oh, I see. It's okay, Fusheng, I'm in a hurry, I met that Nakagawa Eiichi when the young master and I were in Shengcang Village, he won't do anything to Ruxuan, and he will be back in a while. You hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner and hot water for them. Go for it. ”

"Hey, I'll go." Fusheng agreed and turned to walk out of the living room.

Uncle Gen asked uneasily: "Master, young master, are they really okay?" That devil is a human animal, what if there is a good one? Why is my heart always fluttering, fluttering, or I should quietly go over from the tunnel to listen and listen? ”

Ding Wenqian thought for a while and said, "Well, Lao Gen, you have to be careful when you go to investigate." ”

Morikura Village. Inside a farmhouse. Yang Shushan sat at the stone table, fanning his fan irritably. The courtyard door was gently pushed open, and a soldier flashed in, and walked quickly to Poplar Hill and sat down.

"Little Sun, why are you here? Is there something wrong with me? Yang Shushan asked suspiciously.

Xiao Sun looked nervous and whispered, "Platoon Commander Yang, is the situation wrong?" ”

A soldier limped over outside the courtyard gate, and he stopped when he heard someone talking in the courtyard, and saw platoon leader Yang and a soldier with his back to the courtyard gate talking through the crack in the door. He was about to push the door open but didn't, and he wanted to hear what they had to say.

Xiao Sun: "I saw the people in the special column when I was at the regiment headquarters. That Commander Wang Xingbang turned out to be Fang Jiren, the company commander of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion, I don't know why he has changed his name and surname now? In the past, he was a major officer in the Kuomintang Army, and he was also a reconnaissance staff officer, and his family was a well-known large landowner in the Lin'an County area. The regiment commander suspected that he was a sleeper agent sent by the devils, so he was removed from his position as company commander and was being examined. ”

Yang Shushan's eyes widened in surprise, "Huh?!" This? What's going on? Ay? Xiao Sun, didn't you read the wrong person? This isn't a joke. ”

"Platoon Commander Yang, how could I see the wrong person? I am the clerk of the regiment headquarters, work, food and accommodation are all in the regiment headquarters, and I am with the leaders of the regiment every day, and I can often see Fang Jiren coming to the regiment headquarters, and I will never be mistaken, it is true. Also, that strong man is Fang Lusheng, the bandit leader of Feiyun Village, and Fang Jiren is a relative, and the other two people are Zhou Qiwei, the battalion commander of the Kuomintang army, and Yao Jian, the company commander. On the way back to Nanjing, they were suddenly attacked by the Japanese army and almost wiped out, but it was Fang Jiren who led the Sixth Company to attack in time to relieve the siege and save them. ”

"Huh?! Bad, bad, bad! The problem is serious, very serious. The composition of this special column is complex, and it is very likely that it will pose a serious threat to our supplementary regiment in the future. Little Sun, the situation of our wounded is too dangerous. Then why did the regimental commander let Francis leave the regiment to find the lost soldiers and wounded? Is this true? ”

"Yes, it's true. After the troops broke out of Shengcang Village, it was the regiment commander who asked Staff Officer Wu to go to Fang Jiren to convey his verbal orders. ”

"How can this be? Xiao Sun, isn't the regimental headquarters reviewing Fang Jiren? How can you still let him go out on a mission? I can't figure it out. ”

"I don't understand either. Platoon Commander Yang, what should we do? ”

"Little Sun, let me ask you, who among us wounded knows about the identity and affairs of Francis? Are there any fighters from the 6th company of the 2nd battalion among the wounded? ”

"There are two battalions, but there are no six companies, I'm sure. I estimate that there is no third person other than you who knows the identity and affairs of Francis. Platoon Commander Yang, why are you asking? ”

"Good. Xiao Sun, don't tell anyone about Fang Jiren's identity and these things, we won't leave, let's join this so-called special column together, monitor their movements, and then gradually control their team, get rid of Fang Jiren, and finally bring them all back to the supplementary group. ”

"Okay, that's it. Platoon Commander Yang, everything is up to you. ”

"Xiao Sun, you immediately call all the lightly injured people over and follow me to find Fang Jiren."

The soldier eavesdropping outside the courtyard gate was taken aback and gasped. He turned quietly and limped away quietly.

Lin'an County. In the courtyard of the county cleaning office. Ding Wensheng drove the dung truck into the compound.

Ding Wensheng pulled open the baffle and whispered, "Niuzi, come out." Go home with Daddy. ”

Ding Tieniu climbed out of the dark compartment of the dung truck and jumped out of the carriage, and asked puzzledly:

"Dad, why did I hear someone call you old man? Are you that old? ”

"Ahem, if people want to call it that, let him call it that."

"Dad, I don't want others to call you that, and I'm not old enough to call you old."

Ding Wensheng said while unloading the car: "Hey, look at you kid, is your bullish temper coming up again." I don't care what others call me, what are you doing here? Whoever likes to call him, let him call it. ”

"That's not good, I just don't feel comfortable listening to it, and I won't allow others to call you that in the future."

"What's wrong with calling me old man? It's very comfortable and pleasing to my ears. Niuzi, you finally came back for a trip, don't fight with your father for this matter. ”

Ding Wensheng led the thin old horse into the stable, fed the hay, patted the horse's neck and walked out of the stable, and said happily: "Niuzi, go, drink two cups with your father." ”
