Chapter 311: Quarrels and Urgent Transfers

Southwest of Lin'an County. Shuihe Village. Muranishi threshing floor.

Yu Genshan and Han Dagang formed a resolute opposition faction, and political commissar, chief of staff, and Huang Zhongde formed a firm support faction, and the two factions studied and discussed the urgency, necessity, and importance of establishing a secret intelligence transportation station subordinate to the supplementary regiment in the county seat of Lin'an County in view of the complicated and changeable war situation at the present stage of stalemate and the difficult and dangerous situation of the supplementary regiment's troops stationed in Shuihe Village. The two factions have different propositions, different ideas, and each has its own reasoning, and both have reasonable explanations, but both have incomplete and flawed explanations, and the two sides have strong arguments and fierce quarrels on the basis of reason, and the quarrels are so thick that neither of them can say anything about the other, and they have reached a deadlock for a while.

The political commissar waved his hand to signal everyone to stop arguing, and all five of them fell silent.

The political commissar picked up the porcelain pot and poured water into everyone's bowl, and said in a soothing and resolute tone:

"Comrades, I am the political commissar and secretary of the Party Committee of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment, and I have the final decision. Now, I solemnly announce that an intelligence traffic station will be established in the county seat of Lin'an County as soon as possible. I won't go into the details of why I did this. Comrade Han Dagang, you grew up in the county town, and you should be familiar with all kinds of situations in your hometown, so you should select competent soldiers from the reconnaissance company to set up an intelligence and traffic station, and you will serve as the station commander. ”

"I'm against it. Commissar, your idea won't work. Han Dagang said negatively.

"You're against it? Why? Are there any difficulties? The commissar asked.

"It's not a question of whether there are difficulties or not. Political commissar, I am a native of my hometown who grew up in the county seat, but there are also many natives in the detective team and the puppet army who grew up in the county town or in the surrounding towns and villages, and there are too many people who know me, and there are too many people who know that I joined the Eighth Route Army. I won't be recognized in a day after I enter the county, how can I go out to scout and do activities? Han Dagang explained.

"Well, you have a point, it's really your disadvantage. Comrade Han Dagang, you can completely turn your disadvantage into an advantage, and you can take advantage of the fact that you know the detective team and the puppet army to carry out your work. When you're out and about, you should be able to dress up in disguise. The commissar suggested.

"I'm against it. Political commissar, the establishment of an intelligence traffic station is a military operation, I am the head of the supplementary regiment, the military commander, and I am the only person who can make the final decision on military operations. Leave this matter aside for the time being, don't waste time discussing it. ”

"Can't give up! The information transport station must be built as soon as possible. Said the chief of staff.

"Yes, it must be as soon as possible. Regiment Commander and Deputy Regiment Commander Han, we have all talked about the urgency, necessity, and importance of the establishment of an intelligence transportation station many times just now, and you two also agree with it, so why do you oppose it now? Huang Zhongde asked.

In fact, there was no need for anyone to remind or inform them, and Yu Genshan and Han Dagang were well aware of the urgency, necessity, and importance of the supplementary regiment to establish an intelligence and transportation station in the county town as soon as possible. However, the two of them knew in their hearts that there was no need for the supplementary group to send someone to do it, and naturally someone would do it automatically and consciously, and they had the conditions and ability to do it better. Or it can be said that intelligence transport stations have been established and are playing an increasing role. It is purely superfluous to send people to do it again to supplement the regiment, and if it is not good, it will add to the snake and make extraneous branches. However, Yu Genshan and Han Dagang really cannot say the real reason for resolutely opposing the chief of staff for establishing an intelligence traffic station, and can only use the current lack of financial and material resources as an excuse to say that the time is not yet ripe and the conditions are not yet in place.

"Regiment Commander, Comrade Han Dagang, the establishment of an intelligence and transportation station is not only a military task, but also an urgent and important political task, and the lack of financial and material resources is indeed an objective difficulty. It is in the midst of hardships and hardships that our party and the people's army have grown and developed step by step, from a small number to a large number, and from a weak to a strong one. Have we encountered fewer difficulties? There will be more in the future, and we will all come up with brainstorming and contributing ideas to overcome all difficulties. Therefore, the intelligence traffic station must be set up as soon as possible. The commissar said resolutely.

"No! Can't be built! I am categorically against it! Yu Genshan said resolutely.

"Commander, why are you so stubborn and resolute in your opposition? It's incredible, it's incomprehensible. The regiment commander, the higher-level organization, the division and brigade leaders, why should we supplement the regiment far away from the base area and face the strong enemy, and the lone army is stationed at the forefront of the anti-enemy Shuihe Village? This is certainly a major deployment of overall importance in terms of military strategy, and there will certainly be important and arduous tasks entrusted to us to carry out, but the time has not yet come. At present, our supplementary regiment has expanded to more than 2,000 people. However, we are extremely short of weapons, ammunition, medical and surgical instruments, food, clothing, and other necessary materials, still less do we have a relatively safe and smooth channel for collecting and reconnoitring the enemy's situation and transmitting intelligence in a timely manner. It is no exaggeration to say that the current replenishment regiment lacks guns and ammunition, lacks food and clothing, lacks medical treatment and medicine, and the enemy's situation is unknown. In order to resolve these major problems as soon as possible, it is imperative that we establish our own intelligence transport station as soon as possible. Huang Zhongde analyzed in an orderly manner.

Huang Zhongde's analysis and elaboration was recognized and supported by the political commissar and the chief of staff, and Yu Genshan and Han Dagang agreed very much in their hearts, and they were silent for a while and speechless.

"Director Huang's analysis is incisive and thorough, and his words are realistic. Regiment Commander, Comrade Han Dagang, do you two still oppose it? The commissar asked.

Yu Genshan turned his head to look at Han Dagang, who was thinking with his head down, scratched his head and said:

"Yes, I admit that Director Huang is right in his analysis and in what he said. Isn't that, isn't that the villagers in the plains who have sent us rice, white flour, live pigs, and live chickens? There are also daily necessities such as cloth, and the villagers in the mountains have also sent us grain, cattle and sheep. I guess another batch will be sent in the next two days. Therefore, I don't think there is any need to go through the time-consuming and laborious process of setting up an intelligence traffic station. ”

"Commander, your idea of being rich and being at peace with what happens is the most important, and you don't have any vigilance. We have received several times the much-needed and valuable food and supplies of the troops, which have indeed played a role in alleviating the extreme difficulties of the replenishment regiment, and I am sure that we will receive them again in the future. However, have you thought about it, the regiment commander, that these food and materials were not collected and bought by us through the underground party's organizational system and mobilized the masses, and we do not know the true identities of those who sent us food and materials several times. It is doubtful that during the current frequent and brutal wars, can ordinary people afford to raise pigs, cattle and sheep at home? Dayang will give it away for 1,000 yuan. Commander, don't you think there is something suspicious in this? ”

"This? This? That? Yu Genshan was dumbfounded by the question, and was speechless with embarrassment. He knew very well what was going on, but he couldn't say it.

"Regiment commander, if you don't set up an intelligence traffic station in the county, how can you get intelligence, weapons and ammunition, and medicine from the Japanese puppet army?" The chief of staff asked.

"This? This? Yu Genshan was asked again and had nothing to say.

"Political commissar and chief of staff, if you build an intelligence traffic station in the county town, will you definitely be able to get the intelligence, weapons, ammunition, and medicine of the Japanese puppet army?" Han Dagang asked rhetorically.

"It's not for sure that we can get it, but there's still hope and a lot of possibility. It's better than doing nothing. Huang Zhongde said.

"You're right. Wouldn't it be better for Francis to help us do these things? Why should we do it again by mobilizing the people and working hard for the people and money? Yu Genshan finally couldn't hold his breath and mentioned Fang Jiren inattention.

"Francis? There are too many suspicions about him, except that we know that he is one of the top two big landowners in western Hebei, the son of a big capitalist, and a former Kuomintang major officer, we don't know what his identity is, and his true identity has not yet been investigated. Francis is the suspicious person we focus on monitoring and guarding against. How can you rely on someone like him? Director Huang said angrily.

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, two fast horses galloped and ran to Yu Genshan's side. The two division headquarters correspondents turned over and dismounted, walked up to Yu Genshan, stood upright and saluted, and then took out a letter and handed it to Yu Genshan.

"Commander Yu, the division headquarters has an urgent order." The correspondent gasped.

Yu Genshan opened the letter and looked at it, was taken aback, and said in confusion:

"Huh? Dispatch Fang Jiren immediately to report to the division headquarters? This? This? What's going on? How can the division leader do this? Isn't that digging into my corner? ”

"Commander Yu, where is Francis Jiren? Come back to the division with us immediately! ”

The political commissar, chief of staff, Huang Zhongde, and Han Dagang were all stunned.
