Chapter 33: Savage arrogance secretly rejoices

Afternoon. Shuihe Village. Village office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters.

Captain Jiang, who looked solemn, looked at Yu Genshan and said affirmatively:

"That's right! It's that serious! Captain, I don't have the heart to talk and joke with you here. ”

Huang Zhongde walked over with a face full of shame and sincerely apologized to Captain Jiang:

"Captain Jiang, Doctor Jiang, I'm sorry! What I said just now is really inappropriate, very wrong, really I am ignorant and stupid, I was wrong, please accept my apology. ”

"Humph! What's the use of you apologizing to me now? The top priority is to get Francis back for me as soon as possible! ”

Everyone stepped forward one after another, and you comforted and persuaded Captain Jiang who was still angry. Huang Zhongde, who knew that he was wrong, quietly stepped aside.

Captain Jiang looked at the people in front of him one by one, and said in a soothing tone:

"Okay, all the chiefs, don't persuade me anymore, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Let me say a polite and impolite word, you, you have eyes without beads, you have treasures but do not know, Francis, Francis is a rare treasure of the health team and our supplementary group! I've heard about his bravery in battle and his personal deeds, but what about you? How do you do that? You don't know how to love, protect, tolerate and treat him well, and you don't have correct guidance and education, reasonable and adequate arrangements to use him, but you have to detain him for examination, and finally drive him out of the supplementary group. Don't you understand the truth that one more person is more powerful? If you do this, it is unfair, unreasonable, and irresponsible; It was a great loss to our regiment; You are ruthless to the wounded who are dying and need surgery urgently, you, you are committing a crime! ”

Everyone was beaten by Captain Jiang's harsh words and accusations, and his words were unreasonable and speechless. What they never expected was that Francis's departure would have such serious consequences, and that Francis would be so important to the replenishment group. For a time, there was silence in the regiment headquarters, and an atmosphere of solemnity and sadness was enveloped.

"Captain Jiang! Dr. Jiang! Two young female nurses from the health team ran into the regiment headquarters with flushed faces, panting, and anxious expressions, and walked up to Captain Jiang as if no one was around.

The older female nurse was out of breath and said incoherently:

"Captain Jiang, no, it's not good. Dr. Jiang, you, go and have a look. ”

"What's going on? Don't worry, just make it clear. ”

Another female nurse calmed down and said: "Captain Jiang, the knife wound on Lu Ban's thigh of the third company of the first battalion is infected and suppurated in a large area, and necrotic tissue has been found, and it needs to be operated on immediately. ”

"Huh?! So serious! Walk! Go back to the health team immediately and have surgery immediately! ”

Captain Jiang and the two nurses left the regiment headquarters in a hurry. Everyone sat down with their heads bowed and bewildered. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others were stunned.

"Alas!" The political commissar broke the silence first: "Commander, it seems that you shouldn't let Fang Jiren leave the supplementary regiment, it is indeed a bit hasty to do so." After the Great War and the fierce fighting, a large number of wounded and sick people urgently needed surgery and treatment, and the pressure on the health team was very great. You see what to do, right? ”

"Am I sloppy? Commissar, I do not accept your criticism. I still think I made the right decision. Please think about it carefully, and ask Staff Officer Ding to give a comment. In this anti-sweeping battle, our regiment suffered heavy casualties and lost more than half of its personnel, and many wounded needed surgery to treat gunshot wounds and knife wounds. However, there are still medical teams and Captain Jiang in our regiment, and they have been treating and caring for the wounded meticulously and dutifully. But what about the wounded and sick who have not yet returned to the team and who are still in the enemy-occupied areas without food or drink? Who's going to give them treatment? Isn't their situation more dangerous? I sent Francis to find them to hide and heal their wounds and diseases, precisely out of an attitude of loving and protecting them and being responsible for them. Is there anything wrong with that? Staff Officer Ding, do you think this is the reason? ”

Ding Tieniu looked at Yu Genshan and smiled helplessly, without commenting.

Political Commissar: "Commander, I don't deny that what you said makes sense, and at that time a more appropriate way could have been adopted to solve these things." For example, if Francis stayed in the health team and sent other people to find the fighters and the wounded and sick who had not yet returned, wouldn't that be the same? ”

"It's different, it's different. Commissar, if you find the sick and wounded, can you operate on them right away? Can you find medicine for gunshot wounds and knife wounds? Do you know how to evade the devil's strict search, transfer safely and hide it? You are next to each other in the whole group, who can do it? Yes? Only Francis can do it. ”

Yu Genshan and the political commissar fought on their own grounds, and they did not give in to each other.

The chief of staff gently poked Ding Tieniu in the shoulder with his elbow and said:

"Huh? Staff Officer Ding, why don't you just look at it and don't say a word? Tell them to stop arguing like this. ”

Ding Tieniu stood up, raised his arms and waved at Yu Genshan and the political commissar respectively:

"Alright, well, the two chiefs don't quarrel anymore. Let me ask, does Francis know about the difficulties of the current health team and the condition of the wounded and sick? ”

"How could Francis not know? Of course he knew. The commissar said unequivocally.

Ding Tieniu sat down with a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed face:

"Since Francis knows, then it's fine, and everyone doesn't need to worry. What you and Captain Jiang are worried about, Fang Jiren will definitely find a way to solve it. ”

"Huh? Staff Officer Ding, why do you say that? What is your basis? ”

"How do you know that Francis will find a solution?"

"What if Francis doesn't come back?"

The puzzled Yu Genshan, the political commissar, and the chief of staff questioned Ding Tieniu one after another.

Afternoon. The county seat of Lin'an County. In the small banquet hall of Fu'an Restaurant. The food and drinks on the two tables have been removed and replaced with fruit and tea, some people are picking their teeth and some are smoking.

The triumphant and ambitious Nakagawa Eiichi looked around at everyone and took a sip of the teacup, he smiled and looked at Ding Wenqian and said politely and gently:

"Mr. Ding, I just met you when I arrived in Lin'an County, which makes me feel very honored, I want to make friends with you, in order to show Japan-China goodwill, coexistence and common prosperity, I will live in your house in the future, please take care of me."

Ding Wenqian was taken aback when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again with a nervous expression and refused:

"No, no, no! This is absolutely not a no-go! You can't come to my house. ”

Ding Wenqian's refusal made Principal Zhu, Sun Zudong, Qian Wanlin, Song Huaili and other puppet army officers sweat for him, and they looked at Nakagawa Eiichi and Ding Wenqian in horror.

Eiichi Nakagawa, who was rejected, immediately changed his face. He glared at Ding Wenqian and asked very unhappily:

"Why not?! Mr. Ding, don't you welcome the Imperial Army and me? Don't want to be friends with me? How dare you refuse me! Don't you want to think about what the consequences will be?! ”

Ding Wenqian hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhongchuan, don't get me wrong, I don't let you come to live in my house because you are not welcome, I am completely for your personal safety." Now that the Eighth Route Army is elusive, if you have any mistakes, I can't afford it. ”

"Humph!" Nakagawa Eiichi pursed his lips and said arrogantly: "My personal safety? This is not a problem at all, I am not afraid of the eight ways to come, I am afraid that the eight roads will not dare to come. With the Great Japanese Imperial Army here, you don't have to worry. ”

Ding Wenqian said again: "Also, Mr. Zhongchuan, if you come to live in my house, the people of the whole county will have to call me a big traitor, what if the Eighth Route Army sends someone to assassinate me and my family?" ”

Nakagawa glared and said, "Whoever dares to say that you are a traitor is that he is a communist and a follower, and he will be arrested and shot immediately." Mr. Ding, you see, Captain Sun, Captain Qian and Translator Song are all good friends of our imperial army, for the sake of Japan-China goodwill, for the common prosperity and coexistence of Greater East Asia, we have cooperated very happily, they have also received glory and wealth, high-ranking officials, and they will get more in the future, who dares to say that they are traitors? ”

Hearing Nakagawa Eiichi say this, Sun Zudong, Qian Wanlin, Song Huaili and others smiled flatteringly at Nakagawa Eiichi, but they felt that it was not a taste in their hearts.

Ding Wenqian snorted: "They are them, I am me, that is different." Mr. Nakagawa, you'd better not come to live at my house, I beg you! If you come to live, where will my dozens of people live? ”

Nakagawa Eiichi said arrogantly: "If you don't let me go to your house to live, it means that you will pass the Communist Party and the Eighth Road, and now I can shoot you." Mr. Ding, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm ordering you, now that your family's mansion has been requisitioned by the imperial army, it doesn't matter if you want to or not, agree or not. In your Chinese words, you don't toast, you don't eat and drink, you don't give shame. Mr. Ding, tonight, I will move to your house. ”

"Alas! It's over. Ding Wenqian shook his head and sighed on the surface, but secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Afternoon. Lin'an Town. Yongan Inn. Inside Boss Xu's office. Boss Xu saw his brother-in-law bring someone in without saying a word and raised his gun to arrest Fang Jiren, which surprised him and surprised. Xiao Anzi was so frightened that she took a few steps back and looked at everything that was happening in front of her in fear.

Boss Xu immediately got up from the chair he was sitting on, pointed at them angrily and said:

"He Zhongliang, what are you, what are you going to do? He is the young master of my owner's family, you must not hurt him, if you are my brother-in-law, put the gun down for me quickly! ”

He Zhongliang held up the shell gun, glared at Fang Jiren and said affirmatively:

"He is not the young master of your host family at all, he is a spy of the Eighth Route Army, I will arrest him and send him to the Imperial Army Gendarmerie to receive a reward. Big brother, you stay away, it's none of your business here. ”
