Chapter 137: Everyone was shocked when they got the information

Shuihe Village. Village office. Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment, regimental headquarters war room.

Chief of Staff: "Yes. Regiment commander, I suggest that scouts be sent to infiltrate the county town immediately, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, collect intelligence, and keep abreast of the devil's movements. ”

Yu Genshan: "Yes." Let's do it as soon as possible. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Regiment commander, let me take someone into the city to reconnoitre." ”

Commissar: "No. Staff Officer Wu, you can't go. You are not familiar with the situation in the county, and I think it is most appropriate for Camp Commander Han to go. ”

Chief of Staff: "Yes, it is the most appropriate and convenient for Battalion Commander Han to go. ”

Han Dagang: "No. I'm not the most suitable and convenient. ”

Yu Genshan: "Oh? Then who do you think is the most appropriate person to send into the city to reconnoitre? ”

Han Dagang: "Fang Jiren. ”

Huang Zhongde: "Alas, Camp Commander Han, aren't you the same as if you didn't say it?" We don't know where Francis is now, where can we find him? Besides, the organization is reviewing him, and it is absolutely impossible for him to carry out such an important and confidential mission. Don't mention Francis again. ”

Political commissar: "Battalion Commander Han, you said that it is not appropriate for you to go." Is there a better candidate besides you and Francis? ”

Han Dagang: "No, there is no suitable one in the whole group." In fact, we don't have to go to Fang Jiren at all, and we don't need to give him any tasks, he will consciously take the initiative to do it. ”

Chief of Staff: "Really? Camp Commander Han, why do you say that? ”

Han Dagang: "With my understanding of him. Fang Jiren's concept of hostility, sense of crisis, and ability to analyze and judge are higher than those of ordinary people, and the vigilance, analysis, and judgment of the devil coming to attack Shuihe Village are the best proof of this. At that time, many of our comrades still didn't believe it. So, what we thought of and talked about just now, he should be able to think of it. Moreover, there are coal mines and iron mines in the gourd valley that the Fang family has been operating for decades, can he sit idly by? ”

Political Commissar: "Battalion Commander Han, what you said has some truth. But what if Francis didn't think about it, what if Francis didn't take the initiative to reconnoiter the enemy and collect intelligence for us? ”

Huang Zhongde: "That's it. Also, Fang Jiren went to reconnoitre, which is different from us sending people to reconnoitre, he is for the small family of the Fang family, and we are for the country. ”

Han Dagang: "Director Huang, it's not right for you to say that. Fang Jiren led his troops to successfully block the devils who were going to attack Shuihe Village, you say, is he for the Fang family or the country? ”

Yu Genshan: "Okay, okay, you two don't fight anymore." I think so, whether Francis will do it or not? How? Our supplementary regiment should still send people into the county seat to reconnoitre. ”

Huang Zhongde: "Regiment leader, the party organization, liaison station, and traffic station in Lin'an County have all been destroyed by devils, and they have not yet been rebuilt. ”

Chief of Staff: "Do you do nothing without answering and cooperating?" We can send people to the county seat to rebuild the transportation liaison station, and we still have comrades from the county party committee and the county government here. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Yes. The regiment commander sent me to lead a few scouts and one or two comrades of the county party committee to reconnoiter the county seat and ensure the completion of the task. ”

Chief of Staff: "Regiment commander, I think so, let's first let the reconnaissance company send a few experienced scouts, and send out two groups, each group of two people, from the south gate and the west gate of the county town to reconnoiter the city. ”

Yu Genshan: "Okay. Chief of Staff, you should go to the reconnaissance company for specific tasks, requirements and precautions. Camp Commander Han, do you think this will work? ”

Han Dagang nodded helplessly, and shook his head lightly. Then he muttered:

"It's a big deal."

"Report!" Cao Yong, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, who was sweating profusely, soaked in military uniform, galloped back to the regimental headquarters in Shuihe Village from the county seat of Lin'an County. Panting and raising his hands in salute:

"Chiefs, Cao Yong is back to report."

The crowd stood up. Yu Genshan walked in front, holding Cao Yong's right hand tightly with both hands:

"Hard work, Comrade Cao Yong. Come, sit here, drink saliva, and report the situation quickly. Correspondent, inform the room to cook a meal for one person immediately. ”

Everyone walked to the conference table and sat down. Yu Genshan poured water and handed it to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong stood up and took the water bowl and drank it in one go. Wiping his mouth, he took out two pieces of paper from his jacket pocket and put them in front of Yu Genshan, sat down and gasped and said:

"Regiment Commander, I met with the Supreme Commander Wing Commander Eichi Nakagawa at the Japanese Army Headquarters in the compound of the county town, and the time and place for the exchange of captured personnel on both sides have been agreed, and the whole situation is on this. You take a look at it first, and I'll add if there's anything you don't understand. ”

Yu Genshan finished reading the situation report. It was handed over to the political commissar and the chief of staff for circulation in turn.

Five days later, in the afternoon, there was an exchange of land temples five kilometers south of the county seat. Hmph, this Nakagawa Eiichi is really a ghost, he is very good at choosing places. Yu Genshan thought as if talking to himself.

"Commander, I have the impression of that place, the Land Temple is on the side of the road, surrounded by a flat crop field, unobstructed. The autumn corn is now less than a man tall, and our army's receiving and covering troops are simply unable to conceal and ambush. And the devils rely on tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, and cavalry to carry out rapid maneuvers and outflank and besiege our army. We are too passive, too dangerous. The chief of staff analyzed worriedly.

Commissar: "Yes, the chief of staff analyzed it absolutely correctly. How to deal with it? Let's talk about it. ”

Huang Zhongde: "Does Eiichi Nakagawa really want to do this?" Probably not. ”

Yu Genshan picked up another crumpled piece of paper, looked at it, and asked in shock:

"Platoon Commander Cao, what's going on? Is it true? ”

"Regiment Commander, one day I went to the street to buy something, Nakagawa Eiichi sent a devil officer to follow me inch by inch, attracting a lot of onlookers, I don't know when and who took advantage of the chaos to put it in my pocket, I think it is credible."

Yu Genshan looked at the crooked handwriting and read it out, and everyone was shocked.
