Chapter 36 I don't know what to do

Dead. Shuihe Village is peaceful and quiet. Three wagons laden with supplies drove quietly through the silent, moonlit streets of the village.

Village office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters. The regimental leaders are in a meeting.

Chief of Staff: "According to the reports of the returning scouts, there are now two squads of devils still sweeping around the village of Morikura, and there is no sign of evacuation. From the interrogated devil captive soldiers, it was clear that the Japanese soldiers who had been stalking us for several days were devil soldiers of a full-strength brigade in Lin'an County. The opponent who fought with us in the breakthrough battle of Shengcang Village was a fully equipped brigade transferred from Baoding only a few days ago, the commander was called Nakagawa Eiichi, the rank of Nakasa, it is said that this person is a China expert, who has been in China for five or six years, and is scheming, vicious and cruel, and is our fierce enemy in the future. ”

Yu Genshan nodded: "Well, this situation should be taken seriously and studied carefully." ”

The political commissar asked with concern: "Regiment commander, how is the wound on your head?" Does it still hurt? ”

Yu Genshan said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that the small stones that collapsed when the shell exploded scratched a little skin, and now it's a little itchy." Commissar, how are our wounded now? ”

Political Commissar: "I was about to say this, the wounded soldiers and the masses were treated in time, most of them were the herbs that Francis had found, and they really worked. Not to mention, this Fang Jiren is really a capable person. Regiment Commander, Captain Jiang of the medical team has a big opinion of you, saying that you are irresponsible to the wounded, that you have driven away such a good surgeon, and that after coming to the regiment headquarters, you are still clamoring to come to you for someone, but I stopped you. Captain, are we really a little hasty in our handling of Fang Jiren? The fighters of the sixth company of the second battalion have a big opinion. ”

Yu Genshan: "Special treatment in special circumstances, there is nothing to regret." Staff Officer Wu, you will go to the Sixth Company for a period of time, act as an instructor, and cooperate with Company Commander Ma to lead the Sixth Company to stay in Waterproof River Village. Tomorrow morning, the 1st and 3rd Battalions will pass through Xiaoyu Bridge and withdraw to Dajiao Village and Xiaojiao Village west of the Tongyu River. Also, political commissar, what to do with the prisoners? ”

The political commissar replied: "Most of the Kuomintang soldiers, through our ideological work and political mobilization, are willing to join the Eighth Route Army. Some of the Japanese prisoners were willing to join the anti-war alliance, and some wanted to go home. There is a young man named Sakamoto, who is a member of the Japanese royal family, and I don't know what to do now? Commander, should we report this situation to the superior as soon as possible, and ask for instructions? ”

Yu Genshan said approvingly: "Well, I think this method is feasible. Political commissar, you and Director Huang will study it carefully, and then start arranging. The sooner the better. Do anyone else have any opinions? ”

Everyone else agreed.

The correspondent walked in and reported: "Regiment commander, the supplies you want have been delivered." ”

Yu Genshan frowned and asked puzzledly, "Huh?" Who do I want from me? ”

The correspondent looked at the list in his hand and replied: "1,000 catties of rice, 2,000 catties of white flour, 100 catties of salt, 1,000 pieces of ocean, 30 horses of white cloth, 2 baskets of pickle pimples, and two big fat pigs." Commander, aren't these all you want? Here you go, here's the list. ”

Yu Genshan took the list and looked at it, and said to himself: "This? Who sent this? Yu Genshan raised his head and looked at everyone and asked blankly, "This?" What's going on? I don't even know, which of you contacted and arranged it? ”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, shook their heads together, and said they didn't know.

"Where are these supplies now?" The commissar asked the correspondent.

"Eight or nine of them are unloading the truck outside the gate of the regiment headquarters." said the correspondent.

"Oh? Is it? Let's go out and have a look. Everyone followed Yu Genshan, who lifted the lantern on the table, out of the courtyard of the regiment headquarters and came to the gate.

There was no one outside the gate of the regimental headquarters. In the dim moonlight, there were only food and other materials piled up like a small mountain and two big fat pigs lying on the ground with four hooves tied and humming constantly.

Yu Genshan looked left and right: "Hey? What about people? Why is there no one? ”

Everyone looked around looking for someone, but there was no one on the dark street.

Yu Genshan: "Correspondent, did you see who people came?" ”

Correspondent: "I saw it all, regiment commander, there were nine people in total, all strong young men, driving three carriages, and they said that the regiment commander was anxious to ask for these supplies." ”

One of the two gun-wielding sentries at the gate of the courtyard of the regimental headquarters echoed and said, "Yes, regimental commander, we both saw it, that's what I said." ”

Yu Genshan and the political commissar looked at each other and said in unison: "Ding Ruxuan." ”

Yu Genshan said happily: "This is what we need the most, it is really a charcoal in the snow, but it can help us." In the end, he is a rich man, and he is generous. ”

The political commissar thought for a while and said suspiciously: "Ding Ruxuan? That's not right, Captain. Think about it, how could Ding Ruxuan get so many things in such a short period of time? Where did they get it from? How do I feel like it's been prepared for us in advance. If so, then why are they doing it? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the political commissar's series of questions.

Chief of Staff: "Yes, since you are supporting the Eighth Route Army and supporting the anti-Japanese resistance, why did you send it secretly?" Why don't you dare to meet people? Could this person be Ding Ruxuan? If so, who is he? ”

Qiu Yun and two young women and seven or eight soldiers walked out of the courtyard to carry things inside.

Yu Genshan and the others talked and walked back to the regimental house and sat down again.

Yu Genshan took a puff of his pipe and said, "Well, hearing you say that, I also think this thing is a bit strange. I told Ding Ruxuan that he would help our group raise some money and food, but as far as his oily tone and hippie smile are concerned, who can believe it, I regretted it after saying it, and I didn't take it to heart, and I forgot about it. ”

Chief of Staff: "Let's do the math." Ding Ruxuan and his men only arrived in Shuihe Village this morning, how could the two of them get so many things in this half a day, not to mention two big live pigs. I don't think even if the villagers of Shuihe Village are mobilized, they may not be able to gather these things in one day. Also, I estimated that under the current difficult conditions, this money and food is almost exactly a regiment's monthly supply, how could Ding Ruxuan understand this? I don't think he sent it. ”

Staff Officer Wu echoed and said: "It's definitely not him, Ding Ruxuan is a gentleman and a swinger, it is said that he is idle all day long, idle, he likes to play with birds and sing, he can't do such a feat." ”

"No, it definitely won't be Ding Ruxuan!" Huang Zhongde said categorically.

Staff Officer Wu: "Huh? The head of the regiment and the political commissar, I wonder if there is an underground organization of our party near Shuihe Village, which for some reason is inconvenient to openly contact and interact with us, so they can only help us secretly and quietly. Is this possible? ”

Yu Genshan: "It's entirely possible. Is it Ding Ruxuan? I don't think it's going to be him. ”

Commissar: "Well, I don't think it will be him, but who will it be if it is not him?" Don't look at Ding Ruxuan's oily tone and hippie smile on the surface, but I always feel that there is a pair of eyes behind Ding Ruxuan's eyes, this person is very deep in the city, and it is impossible to guess. ”

"Correspondent!" Yu Genshan seemed to have an understanding and said: "You take a few people to the village to ask whose big fat pig is gone, and then go to Ding Ruxuan to take him to the regiment headquarters." ”

Commissar: "Wait, don't go. Commander, now that it's late at night and everyone is sleeping, don't disturb the villagers. Correspondent, go and call Qiuyun to me. ”

"Yes. Call me right away," the correspondent turned and left.

After a while, Qiu Yun walked in with the white face on his body. Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she said a little nervously:

"Commander, what are you looking for me? I haven't finished moving the things out there yet. ”

Yu Genshan asked with a serious expression: "Qiuyun, come here, let me ask you, did you see the person who came to deliver food just now?" Did you see Ding Ruxuan? ”

Qiu Yun approached Yu Genshan and replied dryly: "I have seen all the people, but I don't know any of them, I have never seen them, and there is no Young Master Ding among these people." ”

The political commissar then asked, "Qiu Yun, do you think these things could be that Ding Ruxuan sent someone to send us here quietly?" ”

Qiuyun was confused and his eyes were blank: "This, how do I know this?" I didn't see Young Master Ding, I don't believe you went to ask others, we didn't see Young Master Ding. ”

The chief of staff looked at Qiu Yun sharply and said: "Then it's strange, so many things are sent at once, and we don't know who to send an IOU to, without handing it over, without taking a photo of our face, and without leaving a name." Oh, by the way, Qiuyun, didn't you propose to the regiment commander in the morning to ask Ding Ruxuan to help our regiment raise food and money? ”

Qiu Yun's face turned red and said aggrievedly, "Why do you all ask me that? It's like I've done something bad, and you don't know who it is, so how can I know. ”

The political commissar dissuaded: "Okay, okay, don't ask again, what can she know as a little girl." Qiuyun, we don't mean anything else, we just want to know who sent these things, and we can pay back the money to thank others in the future. It's okay, you go get busy. ”

"Well, then I'm leaving." Qiuyun turned and walked out. As she walked, she thought: It's so strange, there are so many things in three carts, and who will send the two big fat pigs? It should have been sent by Young Master Ding. If it weren't for him, who would have such great wealth and ability? But why don't I know any of the eight or nine people who came by escort?

Bang, bang, click. Suddenly, gunshots rang out outside the village, breaking the silence of the night.

"Report!" With a shout, a heavily armed warrior with a spear ran in out of breath, almost colliding with Qiuyun. hurriedly reported: "Regiment, regiment commander, the devil has been found in the east of the village, there are probably two squads, which are spreading to the north and south, trying to outflank Shuihe Village in a roundabout way. Commander, how do we fight? ”

Outside the village, the sound of gunfire grew more and more intense, as well as the explosion of grenades.
