Chapter 404 - Changing Strategies

The county seat of Lin'an County in the western Hebei region. Francis' house. Inside the courtyard bedroom.

Hearing Glenland's muttering in pain*, Francis, who had already walked out of the bedroom, did not know what had happened, and immediately reflexively walked back quickly, he walked to Glenland, who was sitting on the carpet, and squatted down, looking anxious and asking in a concerned tone:

"Lan Lan, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts. Jiren, I have a calf cramp in my right leg, and now my whole body is sore and sore, especially the two arms and feet and necks, all of which are those dog traitors, no, it was Brother Fu who tied me too tightly. ”

"Yes, if Brother Fu doesn't do what they do to be true, then how can you believe that they are detective team traitors?" Fang Jiren smiled and shook his head and persuaded softly: "Lan Lan, come, I'll help you get on the bed and lie down, and give you a few massages." ”

"Well, okay. Jiren, help me up. Glenland said weakly.

Franciscan slowly stood up holding Glenland's left arm.

"Ouch, ouch, sizz— it hurts." Glenlan, who had not yet fully stood up, frowned in pain, bent her legs and bent over, unsteady on her feet, and swayed.

Fang Jiren immediately grabbed Glenland, then picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. Fang Jiren tore open Glenlan's coarse cloth right trouser leg and massaged Glenlan's stiff right calf with both hands. The force is light first and then heavy, slow and then fast, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, and the cycle repeats and alternates back and forth. Massage the calves and ankles first.

After a few moments, Glenland felt that the pain had decreased a lot, and her calves and ankles were much more comfortable.

"Jiren, our soldiers often have cramps after marching and fighting, and I will learn from you to give them massage in the future, is it okay?"

"Absolutely. Tuina massage can quickly relieve pain, eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength. I'll teach you how to do it when I have time. Francis said as he massaged.

"Okay. Jiren, tell me about cramps. ”

"Hey, I'll tell you about it in a simple and layman's terms. Lanlan, the medical name for cramps is muscle spasm, and it is also commonly known as leg and stomach tendons by ordinary people. This is a spontaneous tonic contraction of the sural muscles. Muscle spasms that occur in the calves and toes are the most common. When the attack occurs, the pain is unbearable, the lactic acid accumulates, the blood circulation slows down, the carbon dioxide accumulates, and the painful area becomes stiff. There is no need to take medicine and injections, and the pain can be relieved and expelled through massage and rest. Lan Lan, does it still hurt now? ”

"Well, it's much better, it almost doesn't hurt anymore." Glenland replied in a soft voice.

It's getting dark. Francis massaged Glenland's shoulders, back and arms again. This is not only a treatment, but also a process of emotional communication between the two, although there are no sweet words, but they are better than sweet words; Although there are not many words, they are worth a thousand words. Lying on the bed, Glenlan massaged herself with Francis' hands, and she felt more clearly Francis's care, cherishment, and thoughtfulness for her.

"Lan Lan, get up and get out of bed, take a few steps and try to see if it hurts?"

Glenland rolled over and got out of bed, walked back and forth on the bedroom carpet a few times, and stretched out her arms and kicked her legs a few times: "Well, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anywhere on my body." Jiren, your massage therapy is really effective. ”

"Well, it just works. Lan Lan, let's go take a shower, it's time for dinner. ”

"Well, I'll go. After a day of nervous tossing, my body was dirty. Jiren, let's go take a bath together. Glenland took Francis's hands and said.

"Huh, huh? No, no, no. Lan Lan, I still have urgent matters and must find someone to do it immediately, otherwise it will be a bad thing. Take a hot shower yourself, change into your favorite clothes, and I'll be back in a moment to have dinner with you. Isn't it good? ”

"Not good. It's getting dark, what else do you have to do now? Wouldn't it be the same tomorrow? Glenland looked at Francis and said coquettishly.

"No! I have to do it now! Fang Jiren looked at Gu Lanlan's aggrieved appearance, and said in a gentle tone: "Lanlan, think about it." The seven of you will definitely leave traces all the way from Shuihe Village to the city, and you may be found and seen by someone else. Therefore, I must immediately go and completely remove any traces that may be left behind when you enter the city, and I must also deploy a complete guard in advance in case of any emergency, so as to ensure the absolute safety of this place and Huang Zhongde's side. ”

"Huh? It's going to be so dangerous. I see, Jiren, then you go quickly, you have to be careful, go and come back quickly, I am waiting for you to come back for dinner. ”

"Hey, then I'm leaving. Lan Lan, wait for me to come back. Francis hurried out of the bedroom, out of the middle courtyard, and into the room next to the south gatehouse in the front yard.

Wan Fulai and seven or eight comrades-in-arms, dressed entirely in the outfit of detective agents, sat around the chairs next to the rectangular table, each silently wiping their shell guns and daggers. Seeing Fang Jiren walk in, everyone stood up in unison and stood solemnly.

"Sit down, sit down." Fang Jiren sat on the chair at the head of the rectangular table, looked at Wan Fulai who was sitting next to him and asked, "Brother Fu, did you find any traces left by Huang Zhongde and them after they entered the city?" Are they all clean? ”

"Didn't find it. However, to be on the safe side, I sent more than a dozen brothers from the Guanxiang neighborhood outside the city to the west gate to carefully search and inspect it, but there was no more. I have set up a few covert guard posts here and at the stove shop, and I have also deployed a mobile five-man team to take cover near these two places, until Huang Zhongde and the others leave the city safely tomorrow morning, and then withdraw after leaving the Guanxiang block, just in case to ensure safety. Sixth brother, do you think this deployment will work? What other instructions do you have? ”

"Good, good. In a word, Huang Zhongde and the others must not be injured in the slightest, and they must be ensured to leave the county seat safely and smoothly and return to Shuihe Village. Brother Fu, you must tell your comrades that this is a death order and must be strictly enforced. ”

"Yes. It must be strictly enforced. My brother also discovered that there are six 'nails' and 'eyes' of our family here and around the stove shop, and you deployed them. ”

"Yes. For the sake of our comrades and comrades-in-arms, and to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we can only let the brothers work hard all night. Fortunately, it was a summer night, and everyone didn't suffer too much. Please. Brother Fu, tell me what's new in your detective team recently? ”

"Yes. There are some new circumstances. In accordance with the orders of Commander Eiichi Nakagawa, the number of recruits for the detective team has nearly doubled, with more than 160 people. I was the deputy captain and the captain of the first team, and I had fifty men under me. The second captain is a hardcore traitor Guan Mazi who has done a lot of evil, and there are forty people under him. The third captain is Xu Luozi, a villain and hooligan who dares to do anything bad and immoral when he gives money, and there are also forty people under him. There are more than 20 people in the back-office, room, and warehouse. There are also ten people who are Qian Wanlin's personal guards. Sixth brother, I've been wondering if there must be some sinister conspiracy on the expansion of the detective team by Eiichi Nakagawa, so I watched it and watched it carefully. Wan Fulai took out a list from his jacket pocket and put it in front of Fang Jiren: "Sixth brother, the people above are all hardcore traitors in the detective team, and they are all bastards who should be killed." It is also the most murderous and money-stealing business in the past few days to search and rob Fang's shop. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to start, so you can solve it. ”

"Good. I'll do that. Brother Fu, and a few of you, you must hide your identity, and you must not expose it at all, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions or act rashly without my orders. Your task at the moment is very dangerous and daunting. ”

"Huh? Sixth brother, is there a new mission? ”

"Hmm. There are new tasks. However, there have been relatively big changes in tactics and tactics. ”

"Huh? Sixth brother, how do you say this? Wan Fulai asked puzzled.

"Comrades, in the past, we used to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, collect intelligence, and then look for tactics to deal with it and the opportunity to counterattack before taking action. This kind of method of seeing the trick and dismantling the trick is not good, which keeps us in a passive position all the time. No, it has to change. We should look for fighters, build fighters, take the initiative to attack, and implement the tactics of directly stabbing the heart, so as to divide the Japanese puppet constitution and let the enemy start a mess and fight on its own. ”

"And. We also need to feed our ······ with war."

"Huh? Sixth brother, isn't this the strategy of the war of aggression against China formulated by the little devil? How can we feed our war with war? Wan Fulai interjected and asked puzzled.

"Comrades, we are fighting behind enemy lines, in the heart of the enemy, and there is a great shortage of weapons, ammunition, and medicine. After a battle, the family is almost exhausted, and there is no timely and full replenishment. There is also a shortage of food and military spending. Nearly 2,000 people from the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment in Shuihe Village have still had their winter cotton clothes and quilts on the ground. What to do? Comrades, this depends on our ideas to steal and rob from the enemy's hands skillfully and covertly to arm and strengthen ourselves, and only in this way can we have the strength to defeat the enemy. Finally, we must implement the strategy of hostile enemy and hostile Japan. Let the Japanese puppet constitution in Lin'an County be in chaos and beat themselves up. ”

"Well, it makes sense, the sixth brother is right, that's what happened. If the enemy himself is in chaos, we will have the opportunity to annihilate the enemy in the chaos and seize all military supplies. That's it! Ay? Sixth brother, what should we do? How? ”

"What? How? Good question. Comrades, this is precisely the first very dangerous and arduous important task that I would like to hand over to you today, a task that has a bearing on the success or failure of a series of major operations that will follow, and a task that may affect and reverse the situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak in the entire western Hebei region. Moreover, I ask you to do it within two days, and to leave without a trace or flaw. The specific task is like this······"
