Chapter 122: The situation is chaotic and complicated

Shuihe Village. Village office. Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment. In the conference room of the regiment headquarters.

Reconnaissance squad leader Zhang Dong paused for a moment, thought for a moment and said:

"Regiment commander, our reconnaissance squad of 16 soldiers, in groups of two, went separately to reconnoiter in all the villages and crops in the Hebei border area, and found that the Japanese infantry was also reconnoitring and searching in the Hebei border area with a small detachment of 20 people, and the tactics and purposes used were almost the same as ours. The devils do not camp in the village, but set up tents in the wilderness. ”

Chief of Staff: "What weapons did the devils bring?" ”

Zhang Dong: "Rifles, crooked machine guns, grenades, grenades, no heavy weapons. ”

Political commissar: "Did the devil meet any villagers working in the fields during the search and suppression?" What do you do with the devils? ”

Zhang Dong: "This happens a lot. When encountering villagers and women who work in the fields or go out, the devils do not roar, beat or scold, and ask if there is any Eighth Route Army nearby? After the body search, the person was released, and most of the soldiers in our reconnaissance squad had encountered devils for questioning and body search. When the devil saw the child, he gave two pieces of candy. ”

Yu Genshan: "Well, okay. Is there anything else? ”

Zhang Dong: "Yes, yes." Commander, I also discovered a very suspicious and significant situation. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense again, and everyone's eyes were full of doubts and anxiety as they looked at Zhang Dong, the reconnaissance squad leader.

"Oh?! Suspicious major situation? Tell me what's going on? Yu Genshan urged.

"Yes. Regiment commanders, leaders, we finally went from south to north to Longhe Village, Linhe Township and Yueming Village to reconnoitre. What is strange and suspicious is that when we all walked two miles away from the entrance of the village, we were stopped by two local villagers who were about forty years old with a guy in their hands, and they were very vigilant and did not allow us to enter the village. We said we were going to the village to see our relatives. The villagers said that as soon as they heard the accent, they knew that we were not from the Hebei border area, let alone from the village, and they had never seen each other, so how could there be relatives in the village? I said to go into the village to drink saliva and find something to eat. The villagers of the three villages said that there was a plague in the village, which was very serious and would be contagious, so they told us to leave quickly. When I saw the dust on the edge of the village, I asked what was going on over there. The villagers said they were burying the dead. ”

Chief of Staff: "Zhang Dong, you just said that the villagers are all holding guys in their hands, what kind of weapons are they?" ”

Scout squad leader: "Wood knives, flat poles, wooden sticks, bird guns." ”

Yu Genshan: "What's the situation?" ”

Scout squad leader: "Oh, yes. The most strange and suspicious thing is that seven or eight meters behind the villagers, there are two young men dressed as sturdy and tough peasants, looking at us without speaking. I can see at a glance that they are all martial arts practitioners, but they don't look like detectives, what are they and what are they doing? I don't know. This is true in all three villages. I also asked a few villagers who were working in the fields, and they all said the same. ”

Chief of Staff: "Well, it's very strange and suspicious. Why is this the case in all three villages? Moreover, all three villages are on the east bank of the Tongyu River. ”

Commissar: "Plague? Haven't you heard the villagers of Shuihe Village talk about it? Have you heard anyone say that? ”

Everyone shook their heads together.

Glenland: "Commander, political commissar, the plague is a very contagious and very malignant disease. Once it happens and spreads, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Captain Jiang of the health team: "Yes, Xiaoge is right. We should be prepared in advance for preventive response. ”

Huang Zhongde: "With such a big epidemic, it should spread quickly, why hasn't there been any news from the neighboring villages?" ”

Commissar: "Huh? Camp Commander Han, oh, no. Deputy Head Han, why don't you speak? What do you think? ”

"Let me say? I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that my political stance will be problematic when I say it. Han Dagang turned his head and glanced at Huang Zhongde.

Yu Genshan: "There is a problem here, there is a big problem." In this way, Zhang Dong, you take two scouts to reconnoiter in these three villages tonight, you must find out what is going on? ”

Zhang Dong: "Yes, I guarantee the completion of the task." ”

Yu Genshan: "Political commissar and chief of staff, do you think this is okay?" ”

"Yes. That's it. "The commissar and the chief of staff unanimously agreed.

Yu Genshan: "Zhang Dong, go and rest." Eat a full meal first, and then sleep well, and nourish your spirits. ”

"Yes." Zhang Dong stood up and saluted, and walked out of the conference room quickly.

Yu Genshan: "Let's do this first, and when Zhang Dong comes back from reconnaissance, we will have a meeting to study countermeasures." Yu Genshan took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Huh! It's been more than three hours? If there's nothing else to do, just dismiss the meeting. ”

Everyone got up and saluted, talked with each other and walked towards the door of the conference room, but Han Dagang sat still.

As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Ma Fucai stopped and grabbed Deng Junsheng's arm and asked:

"Officer Deng, how to go to the thatched house."

Deng Junsheng: "I'm about to go too, come with me." ”

Ma Fucai and Deng Junsheng walked out of the courtyard and walked on the crowded streets, greeting passing soldiers and villagers from time to time. At the moment when there were few people, Deng Junsheng moved very quickly and secretly stuffed the paper ball held in his left hand into Ma Fucai's right hand, and whispered:

"Rich wealth, important information, immediately send someone to the Liu family's blacksmith shop in Shengcang Village, and hand it over to Blacksmith Liu. Don't delay. ”

Ma Fucai agreed in a low voice: "Yes." Do it right away, you can't make a mistake. ”

"Ouch! I forgot to bring a paper with me. Company Commander Ma, you go to the thatched house first. After speaking, Deng Junsheng turned around and walked back.

"Ahem, if you don't bring it, you don't bring it, isn't it the same for you to pick up a few clods of soil. Shh Poor and exquisite, really verbose, not too troublesome? Hey?! Director Deng, how do you get to the thatched house? Ma Fucai put the paper ball in his right hand into his pocket and complained loudly at Deng Junsheng's back.

In the conference room, Han Dagang stretched out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of Yu Genshan, who stood up and was about to leave, and shouted loudly:

"Commander, is there any more smoke? Give me a pack. ”

Yu Genshan shook off Han Dagang's hand and unceremoniously and categorically refused:

"A pack for you? Shh Think beautifully. I'm about to stop smoking it, where can I give you the surplus? ”

"Commander, you can't be so picky, if you can't give me half a pack, it's okay."

"Hey, you're right, I'm just picking on the door, you don't just know. Half a pack? I don't follow you, what can you do with me? Huh? ”

Seeing that there were only two people in the conference room, he and Yu Genshan, Han Dagang walked quickly to the door, closed the door tightly, and then turned around and walked to Yu Genshan's side, and whispered in his ear:

"Captain, do you think I'm really asking you for a cigarette? I have confidential things to tell you separately. ”

"I know, haven't I been cooperating with you? Doesn't it look like it? ”

"Like, really like. The head of the regiment ......" Han Dagang whispered a few words in Genshan's ear.

Yu Genshan took a step back, crossed his hands on his hips, and sighed in surprise:

"Huh?! What's going on? Why? ”

"Shhhhh Commander, this matter is not far from ten, I just estimate it. ”

"Huh? What six or seven is not far from ten? That's called eight or nine is not far from ten, it's really uneducated, and you have to strengthen cultural learning in the future. ”
