Chapter 424: The Situation Suddenly Changes, and the Great War is coming

Linhe Township, Hebei Border Region, Western Hebei. The weather was sunny. In the afternoon.

Linhe Township. Fang's house, the headquarters of the special column. Outside the main room of the middle courtyard.

Fang Jiren, Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei stood on the steps outside the door of the main house, looking at Da Lao Hei and more than a dozen soldiers kneeling on the ground at the bottom of the steps in confusion.

"Huh? What's going on? Something to stand up and say. Francis asked.

"Commander Wang, I took the lead in violating discipline, I and the big guy both know that we are wrong, we will change it in the future, and we will never commit discipline again. We, we are willing to be punished. However, we will not leave the special column even if we die. Commander Wang, Political Commissar Yang, I beg you, stay with us, don't drive us away. The kneeling elder black pleaded sincerely.

Fang Jiren turned his head to look at the three comrades-in-arms beside him, and asked with his eyes what to do?

Meng Dakui turned his head and looked up at the sky, noncommittal. Yang Shushan and Zhou Qiwei glanced at each other and then nodded at Fang Jiren. Francis also nodded.

"Comrades, don't do this, please all stand up and listen to me."

The big old black and a dozen soldiers stood up and stood solemnly on the ground in unison.

"Listen to me, take a breath! Comrades, we are a team to resist Japan and save the country and protect the common people, and if we want to defeat the Japanese devils, we must have a strong will and iron discipline, and we must also train to have a strong body and excellent ability to kill the enemy. If you dare to violate discipline and not participate in training and sleep soundly, this is a very serious mistake that you have knowingly made, and you must be criticized, educated, and punished. So, after three days of confinement, you must seriously reflect and repent completely, and make a deep examination at the whole team meeting. You still have to train hard, and you can stay after a month when you pass the competition. Now listen to me, stand upright! Goal, dormitory. Turn right! March! Francis commanded loudly.

The big old black led the soldiers out of the headquarters in neat steps.

Fang Jiren, Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei saluted and bid farewell to each other, strode out of the headquarters, got on their horses, and galloped towards Shuihe Village in the south of Linhe Township.

Sunset. On a dirt road on the edge of a cornfield in the west of Shuihe Village.

According to the agreement, every day at this time, Yu Genshan would come here alone and wait for Fang Jiren to secretly come and exchange with him about the situation of both the enemy and the enemy.

There was a slight "bang" in the cornfield. Yu Genshan immediately pulled out his pistol and crouched down, his eyes wide and vigilantly observing the dense cornfield.

"Captain, I'm Fang Jiren, come here." Francis greeted in a low voice.

Yu Genshan put away his pistol with confidence and strode into the dense cornfield.

The two sat on the mound of the irrigation canal raised above the ground and talked cordially.

"Huh? I said Xiaofang, why haven't you been here for a few days? I'm so anxious that I come here every day to grind and ponder. Tell me about you. ”

Fang Jiren solemnly admonished and asked Genshan—

The content of today's conversation cannot be told to anyone, in case it leaks; In the future, don't send anyone to Lin'an County to reconnoiter the enemy situation or buy goods; Secret intelligence routes have been set up to deliver information at any time; The spies lurking in Shuihe Village and the supplementary group have basically been identified, but don't arrest them now, you can use the spies to send false news to the devils; Nakagawa Eiichi has not returned to Lin'an County from Baoding, and should be back soon; The current calm is only temporary, and in a few days the Japanese army is likely to implement a "Mount Fuji Plan", and the first step should be to send heavy troops to attack and encircle Shuihe Village, so as to clear the obstacles for the capture of Yufeng Mountain; The supplementary regiment should be fully prepared in terms of military and materiel, and it is best to prepare for a big war or a vicious battlefield; Food and other supplies are still sent to the north of Shuihe Village every seven days, and they must be received and hidden secretly; For the sake of secrecy and the need for future battles, the wounded soldiers could not be re-established and returned to the supplementary regiment for the time being; The fortifications and anti-artillery holes outside Shuihe Village should be reinforced, and they must withstand several rounds of bombardment by Japanese artillery fire; The tunnels of every household in Shuihe Village must be dug to the west outside the village, and the streets and alleys in the village must also be fortified to prepare for street fighting; All the villagers and troops made all kinds of preparations for evacuating Shuihe Village and crossing the river into the mountains.

"Huh? Xiao Fang, the situation can be so serious. Yu Genshan was taken aback.

"Yes. Commander, maybe it's even more serious than what I'm talking about. ”

"Huh? Oh. Well, then do as you say. Ay? Xiaofang, how is Glenland now? Still in the county? No matter how hard it is, you have to find a way to find her. ”

"What are you looking for? Glenland hasn't run away at all, she's still in the county, and I've placed her in a very safe place, so she can eat and drink. In a few days, I will send her back to Shuihe Village unscathed. Commander, don't worry. ”

"It's so good, it's so good, I'm relieved. Alas, this Huang Zhongde is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Fortunately, a few of them were smart and clever, broke free from the guards of the detective team, and returned to the team safely and smoothly. ”

"What clever and clever? That's not the case at all. The head of the regiment and the deputy captain of the detective team who led the arrest of Huang Zhongde is my brother who grew up with me and is also my apprentice. He is an underground party member who secretly lurks inside the enemy, our comrade and comrade-in-arms. His martial arts and ability are not under Han Dagang, and he can definitely be qualified to let him be the battalion commander in the supplementary regiment. If this matter had been replaced by someone else or the Japanese military police, how could Huang Zhongde and the others return to the team safely and smoothly? Commander, you must watch Huang Zhongde in the future, but don't let him make any trouble. ”

"Huh? It turns out that what is going on, what Huang Zhongde said is full of twists, and now I understand everything. Xiao Fang, thank that comrade for me. ”

"Well, I will. Commander, how is Huang Zhongde now? What for? ”

"I'm locked up, and I'm writing a check. Alas, this man is too much to use. ”

"Regiment leader, Huang Zhongde, the truth about their entry into the city, being arrested and returning to Shuihe Village can't be told to anyone. Commander, tell me about the supplementary regiment. ”

"Well, I understand, I'm not going to say that."

Yu Genshan gave a detailed account of the current situation of the supplementary regiment to Francis.

"Captain! Head! Where are you? There is an emergency! ”

On the dirt road outside the cornfield, several soldiers came and shouted anxiously to find Yugenshan.

"It's not good, something big must have happened again, there must be an emergency, I have to hurry back to the regiment headquarters. Xiao Fang, let's not talk about it for now. If there is any situation, you can send someone to send it to me secretly immediately, and the joint method will remain the same. I'm leaving. ”

"What are you yelling about?! I'm here. Yu Genshan was anxious, but he seemed careless on the surface, and he pretended to wear his belt and walked out of the cornfield slowly.

"Ouch, ouch. Commander, what are you doing in the cornfield alone on this hot day, let us find it in the village and outside the village. The guard grumbled.

"What's wrong? People can't wait if they have three urgencies, and by the way, can't I dung the crops? What's going on again? You guys are yelling and screaming at me. ”

"Report to the regiment commander, the staff officer of the brigade headquarters is here, to convey the urgent tasks of the headquarters and the division headquarters. I'm waiting for the regiment commander at the regiment headquarters. The correspondent immediately reported.

Yu Genshan and several soldiers strode briskly towards the regimental headquarters in the village.

Hearing the correspondent's report, Francis had a premonition that the situation had changed abruptly and that a major war was coming. He walked out of the cornfield quickly, got on his horse, and galloped towards Linhe Township.
