Liang Daya took office, which was what Wang Lantian said.

In a grass hut in the Meiling guerrilla detachment, Wang Lantian and Liang Daya sat opposite each other. Liang Daya was respectful, looking nervous, and peeked at Wang Lantian from time to time.

Wang Lantian said: "Comrade Liang Daya, the organization sent you to Chenbu County, which can be said to be a great trust, and it is to hand over a crucial task to you. ”

Liang Daya said: "I know this, I don't pretend to be a devil, you tell Commander Yang, you can rest assured." ”

Wang Lantian said: "We are relieved of this. But we also have some worries. When you become a captain, you have to be in charge alone, and it is not only a matter of combat, but you have to think about things in your head. ”

Liang Daya scratched his scalp and said, "Of course." The first is to listen to commands. However, I also told Deputy Political Commissar Wang the truth, I will listen to Commander Yang and your commands, and I will not listen to other people's blind commands. ”

Wang Lantian's face sank and said: "There is a problem with this thinking, we must all obey the party's command, and we cannot say which people's command we only obey." ”

Liang Daya said: "I can see that in Bump Mountain, Commander Yang and you are the Communist Party, and only the two of you can really trust me." There is a saying in the big play, a soldier dies for a confidant, and I Liang Daya is a conscience. ”

Wang Lantian said: "There is still a problem with this idea. Our Communist Party does not engage in a cult of personality or a Thanksgiving Virtue. asked you to go to Chenbu County, not to be an official and a master, but to resist Japan. All actions must be left to the organization. ”

Liang Daya stared at Wang Lantian and didn't say anything.

Wang Lantian also said: "Of course, the party organization is also composed of specific people. There are many differences in people's minds and abilities. Your task now is to learn, to learn to discern what is right and what is not. Whoever he says is right, listen to it. Even Comrade Yang Tinghui and I, as long as you are blindly commanding, you can not listen. ”

Liang Daya said: "I don't believe that you will command blindly, if you command blindly, then others will be even more blind." ”

Wang Lantian waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this issue." Let me ask you, do you know what your main task is when you go to Chenbu County this time? ”

Liang Daya said without thinking: "Isn't this obvious? Anti-Japanese? ”

"That's right. Our main task now is to resist Japan. But there is also a question of how to resist the resistance against Japan, we must be armed, we must have strength, we can't hit a stone with an egg, oh, that is, we can't touch an egg on a stone. First of all, it is possible to win the battle by strengthening the team, having people and sophisticated equipment. Our leaders taught us in previous years that we must be prepared to fight a protracted battle to defeat the enemy. If those of us who are commanders want to be a clear commander, it is important to correctly understand the intentions of our superiors. For example, Commander Yang and I give you instructions, for example, when the superior issues a document, sometimes we tend to say a lot of words, because that is a strategy, but our meaning is often just a sentence, and you have to learn to figure out the most important and essential thoughts in many words, which is called understanding the intention. ”

Liang Daya said: "I understand what Deputy Political Commissar Wang means, that is, your superiors sometimes have to beat around the bush when they speak, and we have to put aside the twists and turns below, and guess your thoughts from those nonsense." ”

Wang Lantian paused, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with Liang Daya's words, but after thinking about it again, he felt that Liang Daya's words were a bit reasonable. Wang Lantian finally said: "Liang Daya, you have to remember one thing, you have to rely on the organization, the organization is made up of people, and the revolution is carried out by people. Nothing can be done without people. We must learn to unite people, master people, control people, and use people. Do these things, and the work will be carried out. ”

Liang Daya said: "I remember. ”

In another place, Zhang Pujing was also talking to Dongfang Wenyin.

Originally, Zhang Pujing didn't want to talk about this. However, the special committee and the party committee of the detachment have already made a resolution, and Zhang Pujing is also a person with a strong sense of organization, and although he has personal opinions, he can only keep them, and he has the principle that individuals are subordinate to the organization.

After the meeting on solving the problem of Liang Daya was over, Zhang Pujing was the first to slam the door and left, and later Dou Yuquan and Jiang Gubei followed him to his residence, Zhang Pujing didn't want to pay attention to them at all, he didn't even say hello, and his gloomy face didn't speak. Jiang Gubei's face was sneering, and he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Dou Yuquan was open-minded and generous, and said, "Lao Zhang, you blame us, don't you?" You're right to blame us. But, then again, we agreed at the time, and it was a last resort. ”

Zhang Pujing said angrily: "What do you mean by having to do it? Seeing that the wind makes the rudder and loses your principles, where are you still like communists? I think if you are captured by the enemy, you can become traitors. ”

Dou Yuquan smiled calmly and said, "This is just your opinion, not a fact after all." We should reflect on the fact that on the issue of Liang Daya, the reason why Lao Yang's proposal successfully became a resolution is because we ourselves were not prepared. First, it would be unwise to propose a secret execution of Liang Daya at the meeting, because it was simply impossible. Even if Liang Daya is not a good person, he should not be killed. Since it can't be done, it will be an empty cannon if it is proposed, and if you put it off, you will put yourself in a passive position. Second, vote at such a meeting, and if you don't agree with Lao Yang's opinion, you have to put forward your own opinion. To be honest, I didn't think well of my opinion. Then I can only abstain. Even if Lao Jiang votes for you, it will be two against two. But Lao Zhang, don't forget, in the special committee, Lao Yang is the secretary, and in the detachment, Lao Yang is the commander and political commissar, and the political commissar has the final decision. Third, there is a legend in the army and the local grassroots level, what kind of concave and convex faction Jianghuai faction, if I and Lao Jiang stand on your side, it happens to be the opposition between the concave and convex faction and the Jianghuai faction, isn't this just right to give people a handle? This is not good for unity. Since the general trend is the same, of course I have to raise my hand in favor of it, or at least maintain unity. Why do you say that you have to endure humiliation? It's also a strategy. ”

Zhang Pujing said: "What strategy? Blindly accommodating concessions, not adhering to principles and accommodating mistakes is a strategy? Saying things against your heart is a strategy to protect yourself? In my opinion, your strategy is contrary to the revolutionary attitude of forgetting public and selfishness. Lao Dou, I want to remind you that we are not feudal warlords, not politicians, and even less conspirators and careerists. If we have views and opinions on our comrades, we should put them on the table. What does it mean to endure humiliation? I heard Comrade Jiang Gubei say that if you still persuade him to make a big plan if he can't bear it, I think there is a conspiracy and ambition in this. Comrades can put forward opinions, argue and even struggle among themselves, and the correct ones can be accepted, and the incorrect ones can be opposed. The contradiction between comrades is an internal contradiction, why endure humiliation? What kind of little forbearance? It is not the right attitude to look around and look at the gains and losses. ”

Zhang Pujing's words were eloquent and awe-inspiring, Jiang Gubei didn't dare to say anything, Dou Yuquan looked at Zhang Pujing, just smiled bitterly, and did not refute. But I was thinking in my heart, this old Zhang, this old Zhang, when will you mature up? Do you think you are a complete Bolshevik? But you're so bookish. Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for three years. Revolution is politics, politics is violent action, and being angry with a scholar can't make a big deal, when will you understand this truth?

In view of the disappointment with Jiang Gubei and Dou Yuquan, Zhang Pujing had to reflect on his performance at the meeting last time, maybe he really couldn't keep up with the situation? Maybe it's because I really don't adapt to the special form of struggle in Bump Mountain?

However, after thinking about it, Zhang Pujing will not waver in one thing, that is, he can't believe in Liang Daya. He saw the process of Liang Daya's participation in the Eighth Road with his own eyes, and his motives were extremely improper. He has also been observing Liang Daya's performance in participating in the guerrilla detachment of Bump Mountain, and his bravery is true, but in that bravery, there is a lot of personal heroism, fame and fortune, other non-proletarian ideas, and even personal interests. This man has no clear revolutionary goals, no lofty beliefs, no ideals. And bravery without faith is unreliable.

Dongfang Wenyin also accepted Zhang Pujing's conversation with apprehension. She witnessed first-hand the entire process of the formation of the resolution on the appointment of Liang Daya. She was surprised that Jiang Gubei would put forward an extreme proposal to secretly execute Liang Daya, and even more surprised that Director Zhang Pujing would approve of this suggestion. Although so far, she doesn't know much about Liang Daya and his person, only that he is a little reckless, but she knows that the reckless man is not afraid of death and dares to fight. Her idea is that such a person should not be reused, but she should not be executed - she is still young, she does not know the truth of eliminating evil, and of course, she does not believe in the idea that she is either a comrade or an enemy.

During the conversation, Zhang Pujing didn't speak for a long time, but just looked at Dongfang Wenyin with a strange eye, and she was sincerely frightened. Later, Zhang Pujing finally spoke, but he did not teach her some working methods and struggle experience as she imagined, but only said something that made Dongfang Wenyin quite incomprehensible and uneasy.

Finally, Zhang Pujing said: "Comrade Dongfang, you are about to work in a very difficult and dangerous place, and the organization hopes that you will maintain a high degree of vigilance and firmly control the situation in Chenbu County. If any act of betrayal of the party's interests is discovered, as long as the evidence is conclusive, you can deal with it on behalf of the organization at any time, and I will bear all the responsibility. ”

If these words surprised Dongfang Wenyin, the next scene made her even more frightened - her immediate boss, Director Zhang Pujing, who she had always considered to be an authentic model of the Bolsheviks, actually showed a small seven-tone ****, and handed it to her with this pistol, as well as a serious warning: "The organization trusts you." ”

Dongfang Wenyin's heart trembled suddenly.
