Chapter 185 Fight for the shame of everyone on the basis of reason

Lin'an County. Linhe Township. The living room of the front yard of the Fang family compound and the special column headquarters.

Yang Shushan led more than 30 heavily armed soldiers of the original supplementary regiment to suddenly come to the Fangjia compound and the headquarters of the special column. Ignoring the doorman's sentry, a dozen fighters searched the various houses of the headquarters, and a dozen soldiers forcibly broke into the living room of the front yard, raised their rifles and aimed them at Francis who was sitting on the sofa. Yang Shushan said in a tough tone:

"Francis Francis, you immediately notify the company commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting and announce the revocation of the order for military operations tonight. Then the special column was immediately disbanded, and all the fighters were willing to go and leave it to their own choosing. The fighters who stayed behind to resist the Japanese followed me to Shuihe Village to join and reorganize with the supplementary regiment. Fang Jiren, you were born in a family of big landlords and big capitalists, you have been to Japan many times, you have joined the Kuomintang army, you are suspected of being a major enemy, you must also return to Shuihe Village with me, and continue to accept the organization's thorough examination of you. ”

"Except for the suspicion of major enemies, you are right. Commissar Yang, is that all? Anything else? Francis sat on the sofa and said in a relaxed tone.

"Isn't that enough?! Francis, what else are you hiding that you haven't thoroughly explained to the organization?! You said! Yang Shushan asked politely and forcefully.

"Hmph, there are some things that you shouldn't know, and even the regiment commander and political commissar are not qualified to know."

"Humph! We, the Eighth Route Army, are not qualified to know. Are the Wang puppet government, the Chongqing government, and the Japanese army headquarters qualified to know? Francis, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Now, do what I just commanded! ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Political Commissar Yang, listen to me, tonight's military operation must not be canceled, the special column cannot be disbanded, and I can't go back to Shuihe Village with you. Your command is wrong, and it is going to do great things......"

"! Francis, your deployment is the bad thing! I can't watch the replenishment of the regiment suffer heavy losses, and I can't watch the soldiers shed their blood and die in vain for carrying out your risky and wrong orders. ”

"Political Commissar Yang, you are right in your mood and attitude of being responsible for the safety of the supplementary regiment and the lives and safety of the soldiers. However, I would like to point out that it is completely wrong for you to do this with more than 30 fighters. Think about it, since the establishment of the special column to today, which of my orders and deployments have been wrong? On which occasion did we not achieve victory at a very small cost and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army? It is necessary and necessary to organize a review of me, and the regiment commander and political commissar did not let a dozen soldiers hold guns at me. During the current brutal war, I am your comrade and comrade-in-arms who has experienced life and death on the battlefield together, and we are brothers who have left our hometown and parents on weekdays. Francis said earnestly.

Li Mantun, who was standing beside Yang Shushan, listened to Fang Jiren's emotional words and was the first to put down the rifle in his hand. Xiao Zhu, who was standing on the other side of Poplar Mountain, also put down his rifle. The other dozen or so fighters did not put down their rifles, but the muzzles of their guns all moved down two feet to the ground.

"Of course we are comrades, comrades-in-arms and brothers. But, Francis, it is not clear to you now, it will have to be thoroughly examined to determine what you will find. It's useless to say this, let's carry out my orders first. Yang Shushan stubbornly insisted.

Fang Jiren stood up, looked at Yang Shushan and the soldiers, and said solemnly:

"Political Commissar Yang, comrades, comrades-in-arms, tonight's military action cannot be reversed. I have received reliable information that the Japanese army is going to mobilize all the troops and heavy weapons and equipment in Lin'an County, and take advantage of the opportunity of exchanging prisoners on both sides tomorrow morning to wipe out the supplementary regiment in one fell swoop. I have already sent someone to send the regimental commander Yu a map of the Japanese army's military deployment, and our special column has all been dispatched to serve as the main force of this military operation, and closely cooperate with the supplementary regiment to completely smash the sinister conspiracy of the Japanese army. If it is difficult to rely only on the replenishment regiment to resist the well-armed and well-trained Japanese army, the losses may be relatively large, and if the special column is relied on alone, it will probably not be possible to successfully complete the task. Therefore, only by acting together will the certainty of victory be greater. Political Commissar Yang and comrades, now that I revoke the order and the special column withdraws from the operation, isn't this a danger to the supplementary regiment? ”

The warriors nodded silently and frequently, and Yang Shushan frowned in thought.

"Comrades, the special column cannot be disbanded. The supplementary regiment is currently the only regular unit of the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei border area, and it has not withdrawn from the war zone after the May 1 sweep, and has been ordered to be stationed in Shuihe Village, which may be an important strategic deployment of the brigade headquarters or the headquarters. At the same time, it also became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army in the western Hebei region and Lin'an County, and the Japanese army expanded from a brigade to an integrated wing, and also transferred armored troops, artillery, and cavalry, which made the supplementary regiment that had not yet recovered its vitality and combat effectiveness always in danger, and our special column was formed to help the supplementary regiment to fight against the Japanese army in secret, to help the supplementary regiment raise military funds, food, and materials, and to find the comrades-in-arms and the wounded and sick who had been separated in the battle. The composition of the special column is somewhat complicated, but the determination and goal of killing devils and hoeing traitors are always the same, and all the fighters are from poor backgrounds, and all the relatives in their families died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese devils, and they have an uncommon hatred for the devils and traitors, and they all have the belief of dying on the battlefield and defending the country, so why should such an anti-Japanese team be disbanded? ”

All the fighters involuntarily put down their rifles and nodded their heads, and some whispered and agreed with Francis.

"Political Commissar Yang, I can't go back to Shuihe Village with you now, and you are not qualified to force me to go back. As I told you, Regiment Commander Yu ordered me to look for my comrades-in-arms and wounded and sick who had been separated in many battles inside and outside more than 10 villages in the Hebei border area under the nose of the Japanese puppet army, and to treat the wounded and sick in concealment on the spot, and to ensure their safety until they returned to the team after their injuries were healed. Who cares about them when I'm gone? Commissar Yang, are you in charge? Will you heal wounds and heal the sick? Therefore, I will not do the three things you said about revoking the operation, disbanding the special column, and returning to Shuihe Village. Comrades, you should all think about it, can I do the three things that Political Commissar Yang said? If it were you, should you do it or not? ”

The fighters bowed their heads silently, and most of them shook their heads in disapproval.

"Comrades and comrades-in-arms, there are some things that are highly military secrets, and I can't explain them to you clearly and clearly now, but you will all know them in the future. So, now it's normal for you not to know and understand me and some things, and I accept all opinions and opinions about me. But you shouldn't do that. The enemy is currently fighting a vicious war, and this will affect morale, shake the morale of the army, and weaken combat effectiveness. I think so, if anyone wants to leave the special column, we will not stop it. Those who want to go home take off their military uniforms, leave their weapons, take ten oceans, and leave now, go home to buy a few acres of thin fields to cultivate, serve their parents, marry wives and have children. If you want to go back to replenish the regiment, I will equip you with two bases of ammunition, change into new military uniforms, bring weapons, and follow Political Commissar Yang back to Shuihe Village at any time. Think about it now and make your own decisions......"

Francis's words touched the warriors, who all bowed their heads in shame.

"Commander Wang, aren't you trying to drive us away? I can't control who wants to leave, I can't stop it, I resolutely won't go! I'm not leaving the special column, I'm going to take part in the military operation tonight! Li Mantun said loudly with a red face.

"I didn't take revenge, I won't leave. Commander Wang, I will follow you to kill the devil. ”

"Home? How do I explain to my parents? How do you say that? Farming? The devil and the two dogs are swept up at any time, how can there be a peaceful birthday? Now to go home is to be a deserter. I'm not leaving! I want to stay in the special column to kill devils. ”

"Don't go! I don't go home, and I don't go back to Shuihe Village to replenish the group. I'm going to stay in the special column, I'm going to fight on the most dangerous front, killing all the dog mongrels Japanese devils. ”

......

The fighters were full of emotion, fighting and speaking out their decisions one after another.

"Don't make noise, don't talk about it, be quiet! Francis, there is a lot of truth in what you said. However, now you have to do what I say, and when you return to Shuihe Village, you go and tell the regiment commander, and let the regiment leaders decide. Otherwise, you're welcome! Yang Shushan pulled out the shell gun on his waist, stared at Fang Jiren with round eyes, and said angrily.

Fang Jiren looked at Yang Shushan, who was angry, without fear, and smiled lightly and said:

"You're welcome? Hum! What are you going to do? Do you want to use force? Come on. ”

"Someone! Tie up Francis! Yang Shushan shouted.

Two tall, burly warriors with strong physiques walked out from behind Poplar Mountain, hesitated for a moment, walked to Fang Jiren's side, took out hemp ropes the thickness of his little fingers, and tied Fang Jiren to the ground. Francis remained motionless and allowed to be tied up by the warriors......
