Chapter 52 Secretly Deploy to Increase Troops and Strengthen the Army

Morikura Village. Liu's blacksmith shop. Inside the hospital.

"Great, thank you, Uncle Liu. I'm sorry for you, and I've been working hard for you in the past two days. ”

Blacksmith Liu smiled innocently: "What's so hard about this." Young Master, don't say that, for so many years, haven't my blacksmith shop and guys relied on your care, Young Master. This time you gave us another fifty oceans, it's too much, we ......"

"Uncle Liu, not much. I'll have to trouble you in the future. ”

"No hassle. If you have anything in the future, young master, just tell me. Ay? Young master, is it okay for you to fight with little devils with big knives, bows, crossbows, and daggers? ”

"It works. Hand-to-hand combat and sneak attacks are inseparable from these guys, and we still have firearms. Uncle Liu, give me some more flying knives, the big knives need to weigh four catties, thirty six-foot spears. A few days later, there was a company commander of the Eighth Route Army named Ma Fucai, who took someone from Shuihe Village to find Uncle Liu to get a spear with my Fangjia tiger head card, and when the time came, you just saw the tiger head card and handed it to them. Also, Uncle Liu, you can build me a few more pairs of anchor hook ropes and soft ladders, which can be used against devils and puppet soldiers. ”

"Okay, we all built it according to the young master's instructions, it's all easy to do. A few days ago, Young Master Ding also approached me and asked us to make a big knife for him, saying that the sooner the better, and the money was given. ”

"Ding Ruxuan? What did he ask you to do to make a big knife? Can he carry it? ”

"Why didn't he tell me, he asked me to make a dozen big knives."

"You have to be careful with Ding Ruxuan. Uncle Liu, I will take away the lightly wounded of the Eighth Route Army in two days, and the seriously wounded will be kept at your home to continue to recuperate. This time I didn't bring many herbs and Western medicines, and I will send someone to send you some herbs to heal your wounds in a few days. This matter cannot be said to anyone in the village, let alone Ding Ruxuan. Also, the tunnel of your house is too shallow, and several exits are not hidden enough, easy to be discovered, only one ventilation hole is not enough, and two more should be added. Uncle Liu, you must transform it as soon as possible according to the drawings I drew for you and the methods I said. ”

Blacksmith Liu nodded and said solemnly: "Well, I have written down all the things you said, and we will do what the young master says, and we will not make a mistake." However, I don't understand why the tunnel you asked us to dig is so big and so deep. ”

"Uncle Liu, I want to build a hidden underground hospital under your yard, with operating rooms, disinfection rooms, treatment rooms, and wards.

"Oh, I see. Okay, let's do what you say, young master. ”

on the highway. Changgui drove the carriage, and Ding Ruxuan sat in the carriage.

Changgui: "Young master, we have been wandering around for two days in these ten miles and eight villages, and we haven't found the person you mentioned, what can we do?" Where else are we looking? ”

"Alas!" Ding Ruxuan said worriedly: "Yes, where to find it?" That's what you have to look for. ”

"Young master, there are two people in front." After speaking, Changgui quickly pulled out the shell gun from his arms, opened the nose and put it beside him.

Lin'an Town. The second floor of Yongan Inn. Boss Xu's office.

Stone: "Uncle, I can't tell you too much and all of it now, but you will understand it all in the future." Hurry up and get me something to eat, I'll have to leave in a moment." ”

Boss Xu: "Do you like to talk about it, I don't want to listen to it yet." Stone, you should come to me less in the future, I don't know what you do, don't bring me any more disasters, so that I can't explain to the owner. ”

Stone: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't do anything that lacks morality and harms people, and I won't cause trouble for you." I'll tell you all in due course, okay? ”

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

Han Dagang: "Of course I'm very familiar. Our family never left after we arrived at Fang's house, Fang Jiren and I grew up together and played together, and he and I were like brothers. The Fang family paid for my schooling until I graduated from high school. My martial arts are also learned in the Fang family martial arts hall, if we talk about our seniority in the martial arts, Fang Jiren, who is only one month older than me, is still my master, his martial arts are much higher than mine, and there is no one in North China, and he is called 'North China Young Heroes' by the martial arts. Alas, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know how he is now? I miss him, I really want to meet him. ”

Political Commissar: "Camp Commander Han, so your whole family is very grateful to each other's family?" ”

Han Dagang: "Yes." You can't forget your roots, and you should be grateful to you. ”

Commissar: "What should you do if he is our enemy?" Camp Commander Han? ”

Han Dagang: "Enemy? Francis? It can't be, I know him too well. Since he was a child, Francis has been kind to his neighbors, helping the poor and the weak, and hating evil. Commissar, why do you say that? Staff Officer Wu, it seems that you are very familiar with Fang Jiren, what is going on? ”

Huang Zhongde: "We are very familiar with Francis, and we can also say that we are not very familiar with each other. ”

Han Dagang: "Huh? Very familiar and very unfamiliar? Director Huang, why can't I understand what you're saying? W, what the hell is going on? ”

Political Commissar: "Battalion Commander Han, you just came, and you still don't know some things. Two months ago, Francis joined the army to the supplementary regiment and took part in all the battles against the sweep, and he showed great resourcefulness and bravery. But since he came, a newly transferred devil unit with strong combat effectiveness from Baoding has been closely chasing after our supplementary regiment, and the intention is very obvious, that is, to defeat and eat us. About ten days ago, we let Francis leave the supplementary regiment, and the large army of devils withdrew, and only a small group of devils continued to attack and disturb us. If you analyze all these things together, don't you think it's strange and suspicious? Could there be a bigger conspiracy behind this? ”

Han Dagang: "Oh, listening to the political commissar say this, this thing is quite strange and suspicious. Maybe it's just a coincidence? ”

Huang Zhongde: "This is not a coincidence, and two words can make sense and make sense. ”

Commissar: "Coincidence? We've thought about it too, but we can't explain it. ”

Han Dagang: "Political commissar, you just said that Fang Jiren once participated in the Eighth Route Army, and now he has left, this is unlikely, when I joined the army, I wanted to take him with me, but he just resolutely refused to do it, and strongly opposed me joining the army, he insisted that I learn Chinese medicine with his grandfather, and the two of us quarreled with red faces over this matter." ”

Political Commissar: "Why did Fang Jiren suddenly join the Eighth Route Army?" We don't know yet, but we know that he had joined the Kuomintang army a few years earlier, left for some unknown reason, and his whereabouts are unknown for two years. Do you know any of this? ”

Han Dagang: "Huh?! Did Fang Jiren join the Kuomintang army? I don't know, and I can't even think of it. Then since he came, why did he leave the replenishment regiment? ”

Political Commissar: "For the sake of the troops and himself, we have to conduct a strict review of Fang Jiren's life and experience through various organizations. Otherwise, there will be trouble. ”

Han Dagang: "Oh, this is how it should be, what is necessary. However, it is really a good thing that Fang Jiren joined the Eighth Route Army, and it will be of great help to replenish the regiment. ”

Commissar: "Really? Camp Commander Han, why do you say that? Is there any basis for this? ”

Han Dagang: "Political commissar, Fang Jiren is both civil and military, and he is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, he is a capable person. If he was still replenishing the regiment, I would rather make him a battalion commander, and I would give him a soldier. ”

Commissar: "Yes, he's a capable man, but he has to be politically reliable." ”

Staff Officer Wu: "What? You served as a soldier for Francis? Do you really think so? ”

On the road, two men dressed as peasants walked tiredly.

Phew, phew. Changgui grabbed the reins and asked, "Fellow, where are you going?" ”

Short man: "I am Anlin Zhuang Er, our family escaped when the devil swept away, and now I have run away from my family, and I haven't found it for a few days, I have to hurry home to take a look, whether they have all returned." ”

Tall man: "I'm a leather merchant in the mountains, and I'm going to the county seat to collect the bills." ”

Ding Ruxuan: "Get in the car, take you for a while, and we will also go to the county seat." ”

Short Man: No. There are two miles east of the intersection in front of me, and I will be home.

Tall man: "Thank you then." Then he got into the carriage and sat down.

Changgui shook the reins: "Drive." Young master, let's go back to the county seat? Not looking for someone? ”

Ding Ruxuan: "Don't look for it, it's not a way to wander around like this, go back to the county seat immediately." ”

The tall man asked alertly, "What are you doing?" Who are you looking for? ”

Ding Ruxuan: "We are from the county town Tonghe opera troupe, and the troupe dispersed when the devils swept away. No, we haven't found it for a few days, how can we sing after we can't get together the manpower, alas! ”

Tall man: "Don't worry, they will find it, maybe they have already returned to the county seat first." ”

Ding Ruxuan: "Brother, when you meet devils and detectives in the county seat, you will say that you are the manager of my theater troupe, and you must not say that you are a leather merchant." Remember. ”

The tall man was puzzled and asked, "Why?" If I don't say so, what will happen? ”

Ding Ruxuan looked at the other party and said, "Brother, you are not a leather merchant, if you say so, the devil and the traitor will arrest you immediately, I am not scaring you." ”

Tall man: "You—you can't talk nonsense, I'm really a fur merchant." Believe it or not, I have a pass here. After speaking, he took out his pass and handed it to Ding Ruxuan.

Ding Ruxuan took the pass and looked at it and said, "This pass is real, no problem." ”

The tall fellow said proudly and confidently: "Now you should believe it." ”

Ding Ruxuan returned the pass to the other party and said, "I won't believe it even more if you take out the pass." ”

The tall man said angrily, "Why do you say that I am not a fur merchant?" So what do you say I'm for? ”

Ding Ruxuan: "Why? I can't tell. I think you look like the Eighth Route Army. ”

The tall man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said disdainfully: "Hey, you are purely guessing nonsense, I still see you like a traitor." What kind of drama troupe, can you deceive me, can you deceive the devil and the traitor detective team? ”
