Chapter 446: On the eve of the Great War, dispel suspicions

Hebei border area in western Hebei. Shuihe Village Village Office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters war room.

After listening to Han Dagang's narration, the political commissar always felt that what he said was not true enough and not comprehensive enough, and it was told selectively and concealedly, and there were obvious elements of favoritism and praise, especially in the end, Han Dagang's qualitative conclusion about Fang Jiren's true identity was even more untrustworthy and questionable. The political commissar believes that what Han Dagang told is obviously emotional, and it is only his personal unilateral and subjective statement, and there is no way to verify and confirm it, which has no reference value and practical significance for the comprehensive investigation, screening and confirmation of Fang Jiren's true identity and final qualitative conclusion. Such a narrative would not be able to ascertain Francis' true identity or decide what to do with him, so it would be better not to listen to such a narrative.

Yu Genshan believes that what Han Dagang said about Fang Jiren is true and credible, even if it is not too much to unconsciously have some personal feelings, it is inevitable, and it is completely understandable and acceptable to human nature. Through Han Dagang's narration, Yu Genshan not only believes that Fang Jiren is completely trustworthy and an indispensable backbone in the current situation of the supplementary regiment, but also should be entrusted with important tasks.

The chief of staff also believed that Francis was trustworthy and should and could prudently arrange for him to do some work that did not involve military secrets within the scope of his control. However, in order to supplement the safety of the regiment and to carry out the major tasks assigned by his superiors, Francis's true identity must also be investigated clearly in order to prevent future troubles.

Seeing the expression and eyes of the political commissar and listening to his tone, Han Dagang's heart was a little creepy and shuddered. At the same time, I was a little annoyed and unconvinced. He also knew that the commissar would not believe what he said, and understood that since the commissar did not believe Francis, he would not believe himself. It's really boring to work with such a leader and stumble together, and it's really unsatisfactory, so it's better to be transferred back to the brigade headquarters, so as not to make everyone unhappy. Hmph, where are you not fighting devils, why put up with this idleness in the supplementary group.

"Okay, okay, Deputy Head Han, you really don't need to pack a ticket for Fang Jiren, and you don't need to use your party membership and life to vouch for him, and you can't guarantee it. Hmph, you are a typical political infantil, and it is very dangerous to go on like this. The political commissar glanced at Han Dagang with dissatisfaction, and said sarcastically with disdain.

"Huh? Commissar, how can I be a political naïve? You can't button your hat indiscriminately, I can't carry it if my head isn't that big. Political commissar, I didn't say you, you are a political paranoia and must be corrected immediately, otherwise you will make mistakes. ”

"Huh? Deputy Head Han, Han Dagang, how dare you say that about me?! ”

"What's wrong? Say you can't? Shouldn't it be said, can't it be said? Don't say that you are a regimental political commissar, even now Brigade Commander Chen Geng, Division Commander Liu, and Political Commissar Deng are here, and I dare to say it. Han Dagang stood up and glared at the political commissar and said loudly.

"Da Gang, sit down. If you have something to say, don't go so far, don't say it again. Although Yu Genshan was whispering to stop Han Dagang, he felt quite happy in his heart. He also thought that the political commissar's views and practices on Fang Jiren were a bit excessive, extreme, and even a little excessive, and that there was no need to always put on a posture of old qualifications and old Red Army in dealing with other comrades and comrades-in-arms. However, because he is a work partner and a comrade-in-arms for many years, he can't and can't say much. Now Han Dagang stood up for him and retorted, but let out a sulk for himself.

"What's the matter? Leader, a word? Captain's will. I didn't go too far, Brigade Commander Chen always encouraged us, no matter what level of cadres or ordinary soldiers, no matter how big or small, we should work together, speak freely, and say everything. Even if there are deviations and mistakes in what you say, you can say it, pick up the missing words, correct and supplement, and finally form a consistent reasonable opinion or a strategy to break the enemy. What's going on? Is there no military democracy in the replenishment regiment? Han Dagang asked angrily after sitting down.

"Deputy Head Han, don't get excited, don't misunderstand. How can our Eighth Route Army, our supplementary regiment, and how can there be no democracy? Let me share my opinion. Comrade Han Dagang, you have always affirmed that there is no problem with Fang Jiren's identity, can you come up with a convincing basis? The chief of staff asked in a gentle tone.

"Of course you can, there are so many convincing grounds. Chief of Staff, do you still want to ask me? You should know more than I do, why are you asking me now?

Chief of Staff: "Of course I do, and now I'm going to ask you." ”

Han Dagang: "I talked about the relationship and things with Fang Jiren before I joined the Eighth Route Army, and I haven't seen Fang Jiren since I joined the army, and we don't have any contact. ”

Political Commissar: "Deputy Head Han, what we want to know clearly is where was Fang Jiren during this time?" What have you done? ”

Han Dagang: "How do I know where and what Fang Jiren has done during this time?" Commissar, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me by asking that? ”

"Da Gang, you and Fang Jiren haven't met for a few years, and you haven't had any contact, so what have you heard and learned about Fang Jiren after you came to the supplementary group?" After feeling the political commissar's boring questioning, Yu Genshan asked implicitly for Han Dagang to relieve the siege.

Han Dagang: "After I came to the supplementary group, I heard a lot about Francis more than once. To put it simply, in every fierce and cruel battle, he rushed to the front first, and when the large army retreated, he served as a cover and fought desperately to the rear; In the battle, Fang Jiren was always a one-ten, heroic killing, fierce, one move to defeat the enemy, merciless, never soft. That ruthlessness, not only the devil soldiers were terrified when they saw Fang Jiren, but also his comrades-in-arms were terrified when they looked at it. He led the Sixth Company, which had only more than 60 people, and other companies with a crippled structure to desperately block the devils who were several times larger than our army, and finally broke through and successfully evacuated to Shuihe Village. Imagine if there had been no Franciscan at that time, would it have been possible for the Replenishment Regiment to be wiped out? I think you must all remember the fierceness and danger of that battle, and what our troops need most at present is a brave and resourceful warrior like my master. Moreover, he is also a doctor with excellent medical skills and is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. After each battle, the soldiers could go to rest and eat, but Francis gave up rest and took the initiative to help the wounded treat gunshot wounds and knife wounds in time. Regiment commanders, chiefs of staff, you have told me about such things more than once. Political commissar, have you ever heard of and seen such sleeper spies and Japanese spies? Do you have evidence of his collaboratorship? Such suspicions of a soldier and grassroots commander who have made outstanding achievements in war are irresponsible, unreasonable, undeserved, and chilling. Okay, okay, I won't go into any more details about things that you all know better than I do. ”

"You're right. After Francis joined the army and came to the supplementary regiment, we know everything much better than you. Deputy Head Han, now we are no longer talking about the family of the exploiting class landlords and capitalists of the exploiting class, nor about where he went if you haven't seen him for a few years? What have you done? Let's just say that when you mobilized him to join the Eighth Route Army, why did he refuse? Why did Fang Jiren go to Taierzhuang to find his second uncle of the Kuomintang army commander? Let's talk about it, why is that? Of course we welcome Francis' participation in the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese and killing of the enemy, but who knows if he has other goals? ? The political commissar looked at Han Dagang sharply and asked.

"This? This? I? Alas······" Han Dagang was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
