Chapter Seventy-Five: Saving Money and Sending Charcoal in the Snow

On the threshing floor, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were training in full swing. Staff Officer Wu took Fang Jiren, drove the carriage, and led six Oriental war horses to the threshing floor.

Staff Officer Wu shouted loudly: "Regiment commander, political commissar, Fang Jiren, company commander Fang Jiren is back." ”

Yu Genshan strode over after seeing Fang Jiren, and the political commissar, chief of staff, and Han Dagang also followed, taking the initiative to hold Fang Jiren's hand and look it up and down carefully.

Yu Genshan said happily: "Xiao Fang, you have worked hard. It's great that you're back. ”

The political commissar and chief of staff also came over to shake hands with Francis and greet him cordially.

Yu Genshan pulled Han Dagang over and said, "Han Dagang, Camp Commander Han, you are very familiar with it." ”

Han Dagang said timidly: "Young master, master, sixth brother, you have been okay all these years. ”

"Hmm." Fang Jiren glanced at Han Dagang and snorted coldly.

The political commissar smiled and said, "Battalion Commander Han, what are you called?" You can't do this in our Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment. ”

Fang Jiren: "Political commissar, I'm no longer a member of the supplementary regiment, it doesn't matter what you call it, I don't care what you call it, you don't have to take it so seriously." ”

Chief of Staff: "That's not good, our Eighth Route Army is a revolutionary army, and we can't shout nonsense." ”

Yu Genshan: "Come on, come on, everyone sit down and talk slowly." And they sat around the stone table.

Fang Jiren didn't seem to hear what the chief of staff was saying at all, so he took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and said, "Regiment commander, I came to report to you this time, and by the way, I sent a few hundred catties of food." Here you go, here is the list of the sacrificed soldiers who have been found and buried, this is the list of the wounded, and I am still looking for them. Here is the list of supplies, everything is in the wagon, and six horses. This is the intelligence of the deployment of the Japanese puppet army and the armament of weapons in Lin'an Town. I left the captured weapons and ammunition behind to prevent the enemy from sneaking up and sweeping up. ”

Yu Genshan took the list and looked at it carefully, then said with a heavy heart and a little relief: "Very good, Xiao Fang, you did a good job and completed the task excellently." ”

Two members of the special column took a wooden box from the carriage and carried it in front of Francis.

Fang Jiren whispered: "You two hurry up and take all the things off the cart, and then drive the carriage to the east entrance of the village to wait for me." Remember, don't say anything to the sentinels. ”

The two team members whispered together, "Yes." With that, he turned and left.

Fang Jiren opened the box: "Commander, these dozen gold bars, hundreds of oceans and silver tickets were seized by me from the chairman of the Lin'an Town Maintenance Association, the Great Khan traitor Hou Fuping, I left a little to bury my comrades, treat the wounded, and buy food." The rest is turned in. ”

Yu Genshan: "Well, okay, you did the right thing. Xiao Fang, why didn't any of our wounded come back with you today? ”

Fang Jiren: "The injury is not all healed, and it will be a while before I can heal and return to the team." ”

The political commissar said sincerely: "Xiao Fang, you have worked hard during this time. On behalf of the soldiers and the wounded, I would like to thank you. When you come back, stay and don't leave. ”

Francis: "Thank you, Commissar. Is my review finished? Got a conclusion? ”

Political Commissar: "The review of you is not over yet, and the review can also be carried out in the regiment." ”

Fang Jiren: "So, what am I doing when I come back?" ”

Yu Genshan: "You go down to the company first and become a soldier." I see you going to Han Dagang's reinforcement camp. ”

Han Dagang: "No, no, this is not good. Let him be the battalion commander and I will be the soldier. ”

Chief of Staff: "Battalion Commander Han, what are you talking about?" Do you think it's a kid's game? This is the decision of the superior organization, and it can't be messed with. ”

Fang Jiren: "Regiment commander, political commissar, I can't stay now, I have to go back as soon as I finish reporting my work, there are so many wounded people waiting for me." ”

Yu Genshan: "Xiao Fang, do you have any comments on the organization's arrangement?" You can bring it up or talk about your ideas. But orders cannot be disobeyed. ”

Fang Jiren: "Commander, I am not disobeying orders, and I have no opinions or ideas. The task you gave me is not yet complete. Now, there are still more than 100 wounded people scattered in several villages to recuperate in concealment, and if I come back, who will change their dressings and remove stitches, and some of the wounded will need another operation. Regiment commanders, political commissars, chief of staff, which of you can do it? Who can replace me in the supplementary regiment? Also, the devils may send troops to sweep at any time, who will protect them? Who is more familiar with this area than I am? I also have to raise money and food for the regiment and reconnoiter the enemy's situation. Therefore, I asked the regimental commander for permission to go back to continue the treatment and care of these wounded, and after a while I will bring them back when their injuries are all healed. ”

Yu Genshan: "Well, what you said makes sense. What do you think of the commissar and chief of staff? ”

Political commissar: "Yes, except for Xiao Fang, there is no one in the supplementary regiment who can replace him in this work, I think it will be like this." ”

Chief of Staff: "I think that's all I can do now, and I'll talk about it when the wounded are healed and all come back." Commander, Xiao Fang, do you want me to send some people to protect them? ”

Francis: "That's not necessary. Chief of Staff, thank you. Regiment commander, I have organized the lightly wounded and militia in several villages who have recovered their combat effectiveness, distributed weapons, and rebuilt the tunnels, so that they can hide, fight, and run. If the devils dare to come and sweep, we have the ability to carry out effective armed resistance and safe transfer. Now that the replenishment regiment is still in the period of rest and recovery, don't send troops to me. ”

Yu Genshan: "Okay! Do it right, have a vision! Just do as you say. If you need support from the regiment, you can send someone to report it. Xiao Fang, now our replenishment regiment is not what it used to be, the brigade headquarters has transferred the Han battalion commander and the reinforced battalion to the supplementary regiment, and now it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong. You see, you see. Yu Genshan pointed to the soldiers in the courtyard who were practicing assassination with wooden guns and practicing hand-to-hand combat.

Fang Jiren looked up, shook his head with a disdainful smile and said lightly:

"Hey, what's there to see? It's all showmanship, it's useless, where is there such a training force? Waste time. ”

When everyone heard Fang Jiren say this, they all looked at him puzzled and dissatisfied.

Yu Genshan asked with a displeased face: "What?" Showy? So how do you think you should train your troops? I'd like to see how you should train if so? Platoon Commander Zhang! Come here! ”

The tall, burly and sturdy platoon commander Zhang ran over with a wooden gun: "Regiment commander..."

Yu Genshan stood up and said, "Xiao Fang, this is Platoon Commander Zhang under Battalion Commander Han, he is a famous assassination expert, do you dare to have a trick with Platoon Commander Zhang?" ”

Fang Jiren looked up at the tall, burly and sturdy Platoon Commander Zhang and said hesitantly:

"Wow! This big guy is really strong, and he is still an assassin. Commander, I'll forget it, don't let me play tricks with him, it's shameless to lose. ”

"Haha." Yu Genshan laughed twice: "What's wrong? Xiaofang, are you afraid? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just learn from each other. ”

Han Dagang quietly tugged at Yu Genshan's sleeve to stop it, but Yu Genshan shook off Han Dagang's hand.

Fang Jiren stood up and smiled and said lightly: "Okay, since the regiment commander said so, then I will ask the assassin expert Platoon Commander Zhang for a few tricks." ”

Han Dagang turned his head and looked at Fang Jiren with a nervous expression:

"Young master, don't, I'll forget it......"

Fang Jiren glared at Han Dagang and said sharply:

"Don't stop you, hurry up and call a few more warriors to bring the real guys over."

Platoon Commander Zhang looked up and down at Fang Jiren, who was half a head shorter than him and thinner than him, and asked disdainfully: "Regiment commander, you let me compare with him?" Hmph, just him? All right? What am I comparing to him? ”

Yu Genshan: "Platoon Commander Zhang, you can't underestimate other people's small parties." Don't look at your size, you don't have to be his opponent, if you don't believe it, just try, if you lose, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. ”

Platoon Commander Zhang said confidently: "Hmph, whoever loses and who wins will have to wait until the competition is over." ”

Cough! Cough! Han Dagang coughed twice deliberately, and quietly waved his hand to Platoon Commander Zhang to stop it.

A dozen fighters of the reinforced battalion ran over from the other side of the threshing floor with wooden guns, watching with great interest.
