Chapter 312: Someone from the division headquarters urgently ordered to transfer people

Southwest of Lin'an County. Shuihe Village. Muranishi threshing floor.

Yu Genshan felt very incomprehensible after reading the emergency dispatch order of the division headquarters and Fang Jiren to report to the base area immediately, and at the same time started to complain. Political commissars, chiefs of staff, Huang Zhongde, Han Dagang and others were also puzzled.

Since the Supplementary Regiment broke out of the Japanese encirclement and successfully moved to Shuihe Village in a desperate and bloody battle, it has written to the brigade headquarters three times and asked for it to be forwarded to the division headquarters, asking for help in the Supplementary Regiment to comprehensively and thoroughly investigate the true identity of Francis, his family's political tendencies, and his performance from the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the present, so as to determine how to deal with Francis and how to appoint him to his post in the future. The brigade headquarters once wrote back to inform him that he was stepping up a thorough investigation of Francis. Ten days ago, another person sent a letter asking for Fang Jiren to be transferred to the brigade headquarters to serve as an operational staff officer, and at the same time to conduct face-to-face inquiries and investigations, and to verify them one by one. Yu Genshan was very annoyed and puzzled, and he repeatedly asked the brigade headquarters to send military commanders with actual combat experience to Shuihe Village as soon as possible to fill the vacancies of commanders at the company and battalion level of the supplementary regiment, strengthen the military construction of the supplementary regiment, purge new recruits, and improve the combat capability of the whole regiment. However, instead of sending a single military cadre, the brigade headquarters also had to transfer Fang Jiren, who was both civil and military, good at recruiting and fighting, and proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. Now, the division headquarters is going to transfer Fang Jiren again. Yu Genshan was a little confused: What the hell is going on? Why did Francis suddenly become a fragrant glutton? Divisional headquarters and brigade headquarters are vying for important people. No, you can't let him go. The current situation and the replenishment of the regiment need him too much, and it can even be said that it cannot do without him. The demeanor and tone of the two division correspondents showed that the matter was of great importance and was not trivial. What can I do?

Standing in front of Yu Genshan, the division headquarters correspondent with a barge gun on his waist, a horse rifle and a broadsword on his back, and sweat soaked with his military uniform and military hat said solemnly:

"Commander Yu, where is Comrade Fang Jiren now? Please find him immediately and come back to the division headquarters with us. We have to cross several enemy-occupied areas and several blockade lines, and we must rush back to our base tomorrow morning. The stakes are very high, without further ado, please cooperate with the head of the regiment. ”

Yu Genshan, who had a sad face, scratched his head, nodded again, and said with an embarrassed expression:

"I know, I know. You are the platoon commander of the communications company of the division headquarters, I know you. If it weren't for a major mission, the division leader wouldn't have sent you. Comrade platoon commander, the situation is like this, 10 days ago the brigade headquarters came with an order to transfer Comrade Fang Jiren to work at the brigade headquarters, so he cannot go to the division headquarters, please go back and report to the division commander. ”

"Huh? Commander Yu, has Comrade Fang Jiren already gone to work at the brigade headquarters? ”

"Huh? Oh, yet, not yet, I'll report to the brigade headquarters in half a day. ”

"No! Comrade Fang Jiren could not go to the brigade headquarters and had to follow me back to the division headquarters immediately, which was the order of Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng. Commander Yu, please don't waste time and bring Comrade Fang Jiren immediately. The communications platoon commander said resolutely.

"Comrade platoon commander, this? I'm afraid that's not very reasonable, right? You took Fang Jiren away, I, how can I explain to Brigade Commander Chen? Yu Genshan said embarrassedly.

"Commander Yu, you don't have to worry about this, the two leaders Liu Deng will naturally explain to Brigade Commander Chen. Get Comrade Francis. The communications platoon commander urged.

"Looking for it? Alas! Comrade platoon commander, I, I can't find Fang Jiren, now that he is not in the regiment, nor is he in Shuihe Village, where can I go to find him? ”

"Huh? What's going on? Commander Yu, do you want to disobey the orders of the division headquarters? Or is it a point-based rebellion that is reluctant to let people go? The communications platoon commander said in a stern tone.

"No, no, no, neither. Comrade platoon commander, listen to my explanation. The May 1 sweep lasted two months, and our supplementary regiment experienced frequent and fierce battles, losing more than half of its soldiers and many cadres and soldiers. Fang Jiren grew up in the western Hebei region, he was born and raised, and he was familiar with all kinds of conditions in his hometown, so the regiment decided to send him to the area where we had fought to find the wounded and hidden and lost comrades-in-arms, bury the bodies of the martyrs, and at the same time secretly raise money, food, medicine, and daily necessities for the more than 2,000 people in the regiment, and reconnoiter the enemy's situation. Comrade platoon commander, the western Hebei region is so big, now I really don't know where Fang Jiren is? Where are you going to ask me to find him? Yu Genshan said helplessly.

"That's exactly what happened. Comrade Platoon Commander, we have also been looking for Comrade Fang Jiren and asked him to return to the team immediately. There are too many sick and wounded in our replenishment regiment, and they are all waiting for him to come back for surgery, and he is also needed for military training. The commissar said.

Chief of Staff, Huang Zhongde, and Han Dagang also gave explanations and explanations one after another.

"Huh? So, I can't take Comrade Francis with me today? ”

"yes. No. Comrade platoon commander, it's not that you can't take people away, but none of us know where Fang Jiren and the others are? How do you take people away? Yu Genshan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and said, "Ouch, it's time for lunch." Comrade platoon commander, let's do this, the two of you will go back to the regiment headquarters with me for lunch, rest your feet, feed the horses, and then go back to the division headquarters when the sun is west, and report to the two leaders Liu Deng on the situation of our replenishment of the regiment. Do you think this will work? Yu Genshan said with concern.

"Thank you, Captain Yu. We don't have to eat lunch, we bring our own dry food, and we have to leave quickly after drinking saliva, and we can't delay. The communications platoon commander refused.

"It's fine. Come, sit down and have a drink. The commissar greeted.

Everyone sat down at the stone table, and Han Dagang poured water for the two correspondents.

"Comrade platoon commander, I am very familiar with Liu and Deng, and I have been a subordinate of Division Commander Liu since I joined the army, and I have been fighting with him for ten years. Alas! I miss my old chief. Yu Genshan said with emotion.

"I know. Commander Yu, Master Liu also often mentions you. The communications platoon commander said.

"Comrade platoon commander, can you give me a thorough explanation? Why did the two leaders of Liu and Deng also transfer Fang Jiren to the division headquarters? Is there any arrangement? Yu Genshan asked boldly.

The communications platoon commander drank two bowls of water in a row, put down the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said:

"Commander Yu, an operational staff officer at the division headquarters is a fellow villager of mine, and he told me that the situation of Comrade Fang Jiren has been basically investigated, but some things need to be further verified, and he asked Fang Jiren to write written materials, so he was asked to go to the division headquarters. In addition, the division commander had two plans, one was to let Fang Jiren train and lead a main regiment, and the other was to appoint Fang Jiren as the deputy director of the health department of the division headquarters and the director of the second field hospital. The exact one has not yet been finalized, and it will depend on the development of the war situation, and the opinion of Francis himself will be sought. Commander Yu, that's all I know. I can't say anything more to you. ”

"I understand, I understand. Comrade platoon commander, as soon as we find Francis, we will immediately ask him to report to the division headquarters. In addition, please tell the two leaders Liu Deng after you go back that all the officers and men of our supplementary regiment will live up to the trust, overcome all difficulties, and stick here to complete the arduous task entrusted to us by the superiors. However, can the divisional quartermaster department add some weapons, ammunition, and medicine to us? Yu Genshan said pleadingly.

A fast horse galloped from far and near with a roll of dust, and after running to Yu Genshan's side, the scout grabbed the reins and rolled the saddle and dismounted, walked up to Yu Genshan, took out a letter from his jacket pocket, and said profusely and panting:

"Report to the head of the regiment, urgent information!"

Yu Genshan took the letter and opened it, and his face changed in an instant.
