Chapter 9 desperately rescues uncle and nephew to reunite

Unaware, Franciscan wiped the blood and sweat on his face with his sleeve, picked up the water bowl on the table, drank a few big sips, and said happily:

"Regiment commander, chief of staff, this battle is really happy, our two companies are advancing from north to south, front and back, hey! All of a sudden, the devil was stunned, and the national army was stupid. As soon as the devil heard the charge, he quickly withdrew due east. Alas, the Kuomintang soldiers were also too sloppy, they were simply vulnerable, and they threw away weapons, ammunition, and food supplies and ran away, all over the ground, and the radio station was no longer needed. I've pulled it all back, and the harvest is not small, enough to equip two platoons. There were not a single casualty among our troops. The strange thing is that there are three people in suits in their national army, all of them with mysterious expressions, is it possible that it has something to do with the special mission they just mentioned? ”

"Well played, well played." The crowd began to talk about it with joy.

Yu Genshan was puzzled and said, "Why did we fight and the devil withdrew?" Why was there no counter-offensive pursuit? The devil's strength and weapons and equipment are obviously stronger than our army, which is known to both the enemy and us, but why did the devil withdraw? Why did a Kuomintang unit suddenly appear in this place at this time? Where did they come from? Where are you going? What special tasks do you perform? ”

"Commander, I think there must be something wrong here. The devils have already surrounded Shengcang Village, and the east of the village has gathered a large army of devils, why didn't these two groups of devils act in unison? It seems that the devils in the east of the village should be attacking tentatively, and there should be a bigger sinister plot behind. However, how did the devil get involved with the Kuomintang army? Didn't they wear crotch pants behind their backs? It's puzzling. Said the chief of staff.

The crowd was puzzled and nervously discussed.

Inside the front hall and behind the house. The political commissar and Zhou Qiwei sat face to face on both sides of the square table.

The political commissar asked in a gentle tone, "Battalion Commander Zhou, do you know our Company Commander Fang?" How did you meet? Just now you said that you participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang with Company Commander Fang, please tell me in detail. ”

Zhou Qiwei asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" What rank? ”

"I am the regimental commissar of this regiment. Do you still have any questions? ”

Zhou Qiwei politely refused: "Sir, do you want to investigate Company Commander Fang?" You should go to him, why are you looking for me to investigate the company commander? Do you believe what I say? ”

"Yes, I will go to Company Commander Fang to inquire about the investigation. But I also want to investigate and understand from you, so that it may be more comprehensive and true. Camp Commander Zhou, don't you have any concerns? You say, "Why don't I believe you?" ”

Zhou Qiwei asked vigilantly, "Sir, what are you going to do with the company commander of the investigation party?" Are you going to take credit for him? Or is there some other purpose? ”

The political commissar smiled slightly: "Please merit?" It's entirely possible. Battalion Commander Zhou, the Battle of Taierzhuang was a successful example of the Chinese army's defeat of the Japanese army, and the Yunnan and Sichuan armies played the prestige and backbone of the Chinese army, although the casualties were nearly 20,000, but it also annihilated more than 10,000 people of the main force of the Japanese Isogu Division. I want to understand the strategy and tactics of this battle, and the performance and role of Company Commander Fang in this battle. How? Isn't it convenient for Camp Chief Zhou to say? ”

Zhou Qiwei was relieved: "Oh, that's the case, there's nothing inconvenient to say." Sir, when I fought the Battle of Taierzhuang, I was only a platoon commander of the regimental reconnaissance company, and I didn't know much about the detailed and specific strategies and tactics. Speaking of Company Commander Fang's performance and role in this battle, in fact, I don't know much about it at all, I just followed him on a reconnaissance mission, and I really can't say anything else. ”

The political commissar asked puzzledly: "Battalion Commander Zhou, during the Battle of Taierzhuang, Company Commander Fang was in his early twenties, why is he a major in your national army?" ”

"Ahem, you don't know. Sir, Fang Daxin, the second uncle of Company Commander Fang, is our regiment commander, not to mention that he is a major, it is not strange to give him a lieutenant colonel or colonel. ”

"Oh, that's right. Battalion Commander Zhou, could you please tell me about your reconnaissance mission, what did Company Commander Fang do with you? How did he do it? ”

"Ahem, which is Company Commander Fang following us, it was completely a few of us who followed him, it can be said that he completed the reconnaissance mission alone. It was Company Commander Fang who led us through the war zone, went deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and accidentally captured a Japanese combat staff officer and captured an important piece of information. Company Commander Fang is extraordinary, clean, and very beautiful, and we are only responsible for guarding him at the place he designated. Sir, Company Commander Fang looked down on our reconnaissance company at all, but we respected and admired him very much. ”

"Oh, let's not talk about Company Commander Fang for now. Battalion Commander Zhou, could you please introduce me to your Commander Fang, what kind of soldier is he? May I? ”

Zhou Qiwei said sadly: "Speaking of Regiment Commander Fang, there is not a single officer and soldier in our regiment who does not admire him. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, he led our regiment to fight desperately against the devils, not giving up an inch of land, the fight was too miserable, and the last regiment commander was martyred. ”

Political Commissar: "Commander Fang is really admirable." What happened to Company Commander Fang? ”

Zhou Qiwei: "After the end of the Battle of Taierzhuang, I never saw the company commander again, and only a few dozen people in our regiment were reorganized into other units and evacuated. Unexpectedly, a few years later, I saw Company Commander Fang again in the Eighth Route Army, and he was more brave and fierce than before. ”

Political Commissar: "Battalion Commander Zhou, do you know so much about Company Commander Fang?" ”

Zhou Qiwei: "Yes, sir, I know that. ”

"Battalion Commander Zhou, what special mission are you performing?"

"This, this, sir, this is a military secret, please forgive me for being inconvenient to say."

"It's okay, don't say it if it's inconvenient. Thank you, Camp Commander Zhou. Today we will talk about this, if you want to think of anything else about Company Commander Fang, you can come to me at any time. Now you go back to rest and organize your troops. ”

Zhou Qiwei stood up and saluted. "Yes. Thank you, sir. ”

The antechamber of the ancestral hall. Yu Genshan asked suspiciously: "Company Commander Fang, just now Battalion Commander Zhou said that you are the major staff officer of the regimental headquarters of the National Army, is this true?" He also said that he participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang with you, what is going on? ”

Francis hesitated and said, "What do I say about this? Alas......"

Horn, horn, horn, and there were dense gunshots and explosions outside the village, and everyone was shocked. Fang Jiren got up and asked for battle: "There is a situation, regiment commander, I'll go!" After speaking, he quickly ran out of the ancestral hall.

Everyone looked nervous and discussed. Yu Genshan looked at the map and pondered.

Outside the village of Shengcang, the sound of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing rang out in one place, and the battle was fierce.

Inside the ancestral hall of Morikura Village. Yu Genshan walked around anxiously. The gunfire faded away.

A soldier walked into the ancestral hall and saluted and reported: "Commander, someone asks to see you." ”

From outside the ancestral hall, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe and gold-rimmed glasses walked in, followed by several male and female students aged 17 or 8 in school uniforms. The middle-aged man walked up to Yu Genshan and said solemnly: "Regiment leader, the contempt is Zhu Shiyao, the principal of Lin'an County Model Middle School, these are my students, they want to join the Eighth Route Army, please accept them." ”

Yu Genshan held Zhu Shiyao's hand and said sincerely: "Hello, President Zhu, I have heard about it a long time ago, you are a famous patriotic democrat, and you should have visited you a long time ago, but you have been busy with the war and have not succeeded. Sit down and drink your saliva. ”

After sitting down, Zhu Shiyao said humbly: "The head of the regiment has won the award, please don't be polite." I admire your army very much, but I can't devote myself to participating in the war for the country due to my ability, and I can't make suggestions, so I'm very ashamed. That's why I sent the student to you, and it can be regarded as one or two to serve the country. When the country is in danger and the nation is in danger, killing the enemy and serving the country is the first priority of today's youth, and I implore the head of the regiment to cultivate talents, shoulder the responsibility of saving the people from fire and water, saving the nation from hanging upside down, and supporting China in the general, and also live up to the hard work of the contemptible people for many years of education. ”

Yu Genshan said sincerely and emotionally: "Thank you, Principal Zhu has a good education, when the country is in danger and the nation is dying, they can make such a choice, it is too precious, accept it, I will accept it, they will definitely become excellent soldiers of the Eighth Route Army." Staff Officer Wu, you can arrange the four boys, and the two girls will be sent to the regimental health team first. ”

"Come on, classmates, come with me." Staff Officer Wu got up and walked out of the ancestral hall with the students.

Yu Genshan asked solemnly: "Principal Zhu, let me ask you about a person, who is from Lin'an County, should be twenty-five or six years old, called Fang Jiren, have you heard of this person?" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Shiyao asked puzzledly: "Fang Jiren?!" He used to be my student, I know him and their family very well, what's wrong with him? Why did the regimental commander ask about him? ”

Yu Genshan: "Fang Jiren is now the company commander of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment. ”

Zhu Shiyao was even more surprised: "What? Fang Jiren is now the company commander of the Eighth Route Army? W-How is this possible? A few years ago, he went to the Kuomintang army, and when he left, he came to me for advice, and I immediately expressed my firm support for him to go to the battlefield for the country and the people, resist Japan and save the country, and defend the country......"

"Huh?!" Yu Genshan exclaimed. "Principal Zhu, do you know anything else about Francis? Can you tell me a little bit more, it's important to us. ”

Zhu Shiyao thought for a while and said, "Oh, I remembered, I don't know if this matter is useful to you?" During his time at Fu Jen University in Peiping, Francis spent a month in Japan every summer to visit various parts of the country. ”

"What?! Has Francis ever been to Japan? The political commissar was shocked when he heard this. President Zhu, did Fang Jiren tell you about his impressions and perceptions of Japan? ”

"Of course. Every time he came back from Japan, Francis would have a long talk with me. He was very envious of Japan's powerful modern industry and rapid economic development, and believed that China should also introduce the democratic system of Western countries and learn advanced science and technology like Japan. ”

"President Zhu, what is Francis' view on Sino-Japanese relations?" The commissar asked again.

Zhu Shiyao: "Well, Fang Jiren also talked about his own views on Sino-Japanese relations, and he advocated that efforts should be made to avoid war, and he asked Western powers to mediate and mediate peace negotiations, and urged Japan to return Taiwan and the three eastern provinces occupied by them, and fully withdraw its troops from China. ”

Zhu Shiyao's words were like a heavy punch, hitting Yu Genshan and the political commissar hard, they felt that what President Zhu said was more true and credible than what Zhou Qiwei said, and at the same time thought that it was certain that both of them had said that Fang Jiren had joined the Kuomintang army. The two of them frowned in unison, feeling the seriousness of the situation and full of remorse.

Huang Zhongde asked suspiciously: "Principal Zhu, do you think Fang Jiren will be a Japanese spy who infiltrated my Eighth Route Army?" ”

The crowd was shocked and discussed. The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly became tense and solemn.

A farmhouse deep in the mountains. Eighth Route Army Divisional Headquarters. The division commander took the phone and asked loudly, "Old Chen?" Where is the 259 regiment now? Did you find it? The chief is losing his temper, you have to hurry up and find it. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain. ”

Eighth Route Army Brigade Headquarters. The brigade commander took the phone and said, "I have sent a few people to look for it." Division commander, you know, Yu Genshan, this kid didn't care about the fight, he hit and rushed to death, and when I saw him, I had to clean him up fiercely. Commander, don't worry, I will definitely find them in a day or two. ”

It was dark. More than 500 meters east of the ancestral hall of Shengcang Village, there is a deep house compound facing south in the north of the road, and there is a stone lion that is more than half a person high and mighty on both sides of the door. There were several carriages parked in front of the door, and the doors of the two tall brown courtyards were open, and Uncle Lao Gen was instructing the men and women to move boxes and unload the carts. On the west side of the gate stood two men and two women, four middle-aged maids, bowing their heads to greet them.

Ding Ruxuan helped a middle-aged man to walk up the front steps of the courtyard gate:

"Third uncle, be slow and anxious, you have to be careful."

Ding Wenqian, who was a little fat, shook off his nephew's hand unhappily and said as he walked:

"I'm not that old, long-winded. Hurry up and think about how to get out of the current predicament and solve the thorny problem, otherwise, I think you will deal with it? ”

Ding Ruxuan was shocked when he heard this, and sighed again: "Alas! We've been back from hundreds of miles away these days, and the situation here is not clear at all, so what do I think? ”

"Alas! It's a suspense. The devils are heavily surrounding the village, and if we are one step too late, we will not be able to enter the village, so we will have to spend the night in the wilderness. Ding Wenqian said to himself happily.

Ding Wenqian, Ding Ruxuan's uncle and nephew walked into the courtyard with sad faces and heavy hearts.

It's all dark, and the ancestral hall of Shengcang Village. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters.

Zhu Shiyao shook hands with Yu Genshan and said goodbye, and the chief of staff sent Zhu Shiyao out of the ancestral hall. There are a few oil lamps lit in the ancestral hall, and the light is dim. Yu Genshan and the political commissar talked in a whisper.

"Let me in! I want to see you in office! With a loud noise, seven men and four women entered, and two warriors followed to stop them. The men were all disheveled and frightened, some carrying machine guns, some carrying large knives, some carrying rifles, and each with a grenade and a shell gun in their waists. The four women were well-dressed and frightened, some carrying small suitcases and some carrying bags on their arms. The group was in their twenties. Led by a young strong man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, two twenty-round shell guns stuck in his waist, stood in the center of the ancestral hall and shouted in a rough voice: "Which of you is an official?!" I'll talk to him! Stand up for me! ”

Yu Genshan walked over, looked at the strong man in front of him, and asked majestically, "Who are you?" What for? Is there anything you want me to do?! ”

The strong man rushed to Yu Genshan with both hands and fists and reported to his home: "I am Fang Lusheng, the owner of Feiyun Village in Yufeng Mountain, known as Master Long." Some of them are my brothers, and those women are my wives. The little devils robbed me of my money, killed my people, and took dozens of my brothers and six women. You're in charge, aren't you? Hurry up and send troops with me to rescue people, and I will give you all the money I have snatched. ”

Yu Genshan couldn't cry or laugh, disgusted, and said as he turned around and walked away:

"Shit! What is it! Come on, take them out, arrange to stay first......"

Fang Lusheng chased after Yu Genshan and said, "Hey, be an official, hurry up and send me troops, you can't see death without help." I'll give you money, and I won't let you do it for nothing. ”

The two warriors came over and pulled Fang Lusheng out, and Fang Lusheng shook off the warriors and walked quickly towards Yugen Mountain. The two warriors came over again and pulled Fang Lusheng out, pushing and tearing each other. Fang Lusheng was annoyed, punched down the two fighters, pulled out his two guns and shouted: "Looking for death?!" Dare to stop Lao Tzu?! I see if any of you dare to come again! The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly became tense, but Yu Genshan sat aside as if nothing had happened, watching coldly.

At this time, Fang Jiren walked into the ancestral hall, seeing this scene, he walked in front of Fang Lusheng with arrows, used his grappling hand, his movements were agile and clean, and he handed over Fang Lusheng's double guns in two or three strokes, and then threw him to the ground, stepped on his back, and shouted angrily: "Who dares to go wild here?!" Looking for death?! Open your dog's eyes and see what this is! ”

The other six strong men and four young women in Feiyun Village had never seen the owner of the village with a martial arts body being disarmed and thrown to the ground so easily by a person who looked thinner and younger than him, and they were so stunned that they wanted to step forward to help but did not dare to move.

Fang Lusheng, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, was embarrassed and indignant, and said wildly: "Fuck, let go of Lao Tzu, I'm Master Long, if there is a kind of let's go out and fight alone to fight for life and death!" ”

Fang Jiren bent down and squatted, holding two guns in his right hand, took off his military hat with his left hand, wiped his face and sneered: "Dare to go wild here, do you know what kind of place this is?" It's really looking for death and not waiting for dawn. What kind of bullshit are you, aren't you just a dog? ”

"Fuck! Who are you?! Fang Lusheng stood up from the ground with a bone, glaring angrily at Fang Jiren, who was standing up at the same time, when he saw the other party clearly, he suddenly lost his arrogance, like a frosted eggplant, and said in surprise and respectfully: "Yo! It's you? Uncle, why are you here? Aren't you a major principal officer of the national army? Ay? You didn't die in the Taierzhuang battle? When did you switch to the Eighth Road again? ”
