Chapter Ninety-Four: Hesitation and Dilemma

Yufeng Mountain. Gourd Valley after the valley. Fangjiazhuang Fangxinyuan Intermediate Courtyard. In the living room of Fang Zhenhai's house.

Fang Jiren: "Of course, the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army will be in charge, and they will resolutely fight back at all costs!" But, Uncle Seven, don't you know, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are backward and damaged, the ammunition is insufficient, and the military quality and combat skills are slightly inferior to the devil soldiers with short legs. Seventh Uncle, those young soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are our compatriots. Besides, the Eighth Route Army's supplementary regiment has experienced two months of anti-sweeping battles, and it will not be able to slow down for a while, and they need time to heal their wounds and recuperate and replenish ammunition. But the newly transferred brigade of the devil sent out several small units and continued to harass and encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. ”

Fang Zhenhai asked suspiciously, "Hey? Little Liuzi, how do you know so much about the Eighth Route Army? Do you know so well? ”

Fang Jiren: "Seventh Uncle, let me tell you the truth, I am now the company commander of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment, of course I know everything. ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Hmph! That's right, I said why did you come to me to borrow soldiers? Little Liuzi, why are you so unproductive? How did you get mixed up with the Eighth Route Army? ”

Fang Jiren glared at him and said angrily: "Seventh Uncle, how can I say that I joined the Eighth Route Army? Why is it useless? ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Huh? You're not happy when I say that, aren't you? Do you think I don't know, don't understand? I've seen the Eighth Route Army, all of them are in tattered clothes, with broken knives and guns, and they don't even have a uniform and decent military uniform, how can such an army fight with little devils? ”

Fang Jiren: "Seventh Uncle, you are right, the Eighth Route Army is indeed very difficult now. There is a shortage of equipment, backward weapons, a lack of guns and ammunition, and a lack of medical treatment. But such an army is not afraid in the face of fierce little devils armed to the teeth, and fights bravely to kill the enemy. The victory of Pingxingguan, the battle of the 100 regiments, and the night attack on the Yangmingbao airfield of the Japanese army are not all ...... of our Eighth Route Army."

"Okay, okay, I also know what you said, I admire their Eighth Route Army, right?" Fang Zhenhai said impatiently.

"Uncle Seven, you shouldn't look down on our Eighth Route Army. Our Fang Family Guard is strong, well-equipped, and has sufficient food and ammunition, which is much stronger than the Eighth Route Army, but they don't dare to go out to fight devils, and hide in the deep mountains and old forests as a shrinking turtle. ”

Fang Zhenhai said angrily: "Hey? Do you dare to sarcastically mock me? ”

Hui Xian: "Little Sixth Son, how did you go to the Eighth Route Army?" How dangerous this is! ”

Fang Jiren: "Seventh aunt, look at what you said, if I don't vote for the Eighth Route Army, who should I vote for?" I went to Chongqing to vote for the old Chiang Kuomintang? I went to Nanjing to seek refuge with the traitor Wang Jingwei? Besides, the little devil invaded China, and we are all about to be wiped out, where is it not dangerous? Why isn't it dangerous? Only by resolutely resisting and defeating the little devils can China have a way out. Alas, it's useless for me to say anything, I can't understand how to say it. ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Oh, I understand. According to what you say, I should send troops to fight the little devils for the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, who will pay me the food, ammunition, and military salary? ”

Fang Jiren: "Uncle Seven, what are you talking about?" This is not at all anyone's business for whom, this is the business of all Chinese, it is everyone's business, there is money to contribute power, and someone to contribute to the national disaster to protect the family and defend the country, of course, it is also your business, Uncle Qi. ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Okay, okay, even if it's my business, so I have to go to the army?" Little Liuzi, but how do I think about it, I feel a little wronged and a little lost. ”

Francis: "Really? Seventh uncle, you can completely not send troops, then you just wait for the little devils to send planes to bomb Hulu Valley every day, blow up and blow up all the coal mines, iron mines, salt mines, and small power plants, blow up the coal washing plant, mineral processing plant, and iron-making plant, throw a bunch of incendiary bombs to blow up the crops and all the villages, and then send heavy troops, tanks, and artillery to block the Hulu Valley Pass for a year and a half to attack, and our coal, iron ore, salt, and grain cannot be transported, and then the paratroopers ......."

"Wait, wait!" Fang Zhenhai interrupted Fang's slightly exaggerated description:

"Little Liuzi, when you talk about airplanes, it reminds me. About 20 days ago, for three consecutive days, every day at noon and punctually, two planes of little devils from the southeast flew over Hulu Valley, flying high and low, back and forth for more than half an hour before leaving. I didn't care about it at the time, but now I understand, the little devil is sending a plane to reconnoitre, and he must have taken pictures of the terrain and features of Hulu Valley. It seems that the little devil is really likely to attack the gourd valley. ”

Francis: "What does it mean to be possible?" Seventh Uncle, let me tell you clearly, the little devil will definitely come to attack the Gourd Valley. If you don't believe it, just wait and be beaten. ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Huh?! No, no, this is not good, isn't this going to completely destroy the Fang family's gourd valley? This is our Fang family's industry for decades. ”

Fang Jiren: "Ahem, what industry is not industry, whatever you love, isn't it just that the gourd valley has robbed all the little Japanese?" Our Fang family has a big business, and no one cares about this. Hmph, I said a lot, Uncle Seventh doesn't eat oil and salt, don't talk about it. Aunt Seven, kill a big fat pig for me, I want to eat braised pork, and I'll get out of the way when I'm done. ”

Hui Xian: "Look at you kid, how do you talk?" Aunt Qi had already ordered the kitchen to make it for you, and it would be ready in a while, so that you could eat enough. ”

Fang Jiren: "Hey, I know, it's still the seventh aunt who loves me the most, where is like my seventh uncle, who knows how to bully me, and what about the elders?" Ay? Are you my uncle? ”

Fang Zhenhai: "What's wrong with bullying you?" Who made me your uncle? What braised pork to eat? I'll give you a fart. Little Liuzi, according to what you say, I have to lend you soldiers to fight the little devils? Yes? ”

"Of course, does that need to be said? However, Uncle Seven, if you really don't want to lend me troops, then you can wait for the little devil to attack and occupy Hulu Valley. Uncle Seven, I solemnly remind you that Hulu Valley is an industry that our Fang family has worked hard for generations and created after decades of hardships, and now it is the foundation of the Fang family. The gourd valley belongs to everyone in the Fang family, not yours alone. If it is destroyed and lost in the hands of Uncle Seven, the Fang family will be finished, how can you explain to your grandfather and my father? Seventh uncle, can you afford it? Yes? ”

"Huh? This? This? Alas! ”

Hui Xian held her hands nervously, and after glancing at Fang Jiren with a heavy heart, her eyes turned to her husband who was hesitant and indecisive, and said in a resolute tone:

"Zhenhai, what Xiao Liuzi said is reasonable, our Fang family should send troops."

"Aunt Seven, if you persuade my Seventh Uncle, he won't listen at all. I won't say anything, I'll go home and tell my grandfather and dad to let them rectify Uncle Seven. ”

"Don't, don't, don't mind. Little Liuzi, don't you go home and tell them, are you going to let me be beaten on the board? I, I'll send troops, I'll lend you troops to kill devils, right? ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. Otherwise, Uncle Seven, you just wait to be pumped from the board. ”

"Little Liuzi, let's do it, you first live here for three days and recuperate well. Three days later, you will go out of the mountain with your elite soldiers to fight devils......"

"What?! Three days?! No, no, no! Maybe three days later, the little devil will go into the mountain. Uncle Seven, don't say three days, I can't wait for a day. ”

"Little Liuzi, don't be in such a hurry, three days is not long, you have to give me time to prepare. It will take time to mobilize troops, weapons and equipment, equipment, medicine, food, grass and ammunition, and it will take time to prepare them......"

"No! I had to go out of the mountain with my troops around dark, or it would be bad. ”

"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong with that? What the hell is going on? Little Liuzi, you have to explain it to me. ”

"Seventh uncle, this morning, I went from Shengcang Village to the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment Station in Shuihe Village, on the way, I found the secret signal left by the lurking traitor, and I concluded that the devils would mobilize heavy troops to attack and encircle the Eighth Route Army Station in Shuihe Village at night or in the early hours of tomorrow. Although I informed them of the enemy's situation, judging from the current strength of the supplementary regiment, it is more than lucky, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out. Alas! The people of Shuihe Village will also suffer. ”

Fang Zhenhai: "Huh?! Is it so serious?! If the little brute devil captures and controls Shuihe Village, then, then he will immediately attack Hulu Valley. ”
