To be honest, Zhao Gang admired Li Yunlong very much. Although Li Yunlong sometimes seemed a bit rogue, his tricks did work. Many things that Zhao Gang found difficult could be solved by leaving them to Li Yunlong.
"Hahaha," Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Old Zhao, it's up to you."
On this day, Wang Shuhuai received a telegram from Xu Dalong and hurried to the Mawushan Military Division to see Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong told Wang Shuhuai about the current situation in Shanxi, saying that he would try to preserve the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun and leave a way out for them in the future.
Wang Shuhuai came on behalf of Yan Guiwu. They all know Xu Dalong's strength now. Not to mention Huang Xiejun's 4th Division, even the 32nd Garrison Division is hiding far away. Even the entire Japanese army in Shanxi can't do anything to Xu Dalong. They have already regarded Xu Dalong as their backer, saying that they will obey Xu Dalong's arrangements in everything from now on.
Xu Dalong told Wang Shuhuai to tell Yan Guiwu when he returned, asking them to cooperate with the actions of Wei Monk's special operations brigade.
Wang Shuhuai agreed wholeheartedly, and Xu Dalong took out ten large yellow croakers and gave them to Wang Shuhuai to express his gratitude.
Wang Shuhuai refused, but took it over, saying that the special operations team could come to him directly and he would fully cooperate.
Xu Dalong asked Wang Shuhuai to tell Yan Guiwu to find a way to remind Qianye Xunyi, who was guarding the 32nd Division, so that they would not cause trouble.
Wang Shuhuai told Xu Dalong easily that Qianye Xunyi almost obeyed Yan Guiwu's words, and Qianye Xunyi was also very afraid of Xu Dalong, plus the help of Huang Xiejun's 4th Division. The garrison of the 32nd Division will not pose much of a threat to the operations of the special operations group.
Xu Dalong had done everything he should do, and was just waiting for the Japanese army to transport troops from Beiping to Taiyuan.
On this day, Su Xiaoyan came to Xu Dalong to report on the situation in the field hospital. Over the years, with the strong support of Xu Dalong, the field hospital of the Mawushan Military Division has continued to grow and become the largest hospital in Shanxi Province. It has met the needs of the Mawushan Military Division troops and many sick and wounded patients from other units of the Eighth Route Army will also be transferred. Go to the hospital in Mawushan Military Division for treatment. Even so, field hospitals still have excess medical resources.
Su Xiaoyan said: "Captain, the local medical resources in the base area are relatively weak, and it is difficult for the people to see a doctor. People often go to the field hospital to seek help. Can you see if you can open up some medical resources to provide external services."
Xu Dalong also paid attention to this matter. Field hospitals in military divisions give priority to supporting troops, and they also help ordinary people solve some problems. However, because there is no institutionalization, this matter has different levels, and the work is not easy to arrange. In order to solve the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor, local people used their connections to find acquaintances. As a result, the internal management of the hospital was also chaotic.
Zhao Gang has also raised this issue and plans to use part of the medical resources to build a local hospital. But the staff of the field hospital are all soldiers. When they are transferred to the local area, everyone is emotional. Therefore, this matter was temporarily put aside.
Xu Dalong thought for a while and then said: "Dean Su, what are your specific thoughts?"
Su Xiaoyan said: "We have already discussed opening a branch of the field hospital, which will be open to local people. The staff of the branch will still retain military positions, and they will all be open to local people in peacetime. In wartime, they will be converted to military use. They can not only serve the people, but also It can reserve a large number of medical talents for field hospitals, and can also arrange a large number of graduates from health schools for internship."
Xu Dalong said with appreciation: "This method is good. I completely agree."
Su Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Captain Xu, there is another problem here. That is, the field hospitals provide free medical treatment to military officers and soldiers, and there are also dedicated funds. But if you want to treat the common people, there are too many people. A lot of expenses will be incurred. I asked Commissioner Zhao Zheng, and he said that the financial pressure on the logistics department is too great, and the amount of medicine consumed will probably be staggering and unbearable. What do you think about this matter? solve?"
Xu Dalong said: "Ordinary private hospitals are commercial. They can not only support themselves, but also make a certain profit. They can even be said to be very profitable. Of course, our Eighth Route Army opened hospitals to do practical things for the people, not for the purpose of making money. However, we cannot lose money, otherwise we will not be able to operate. My opinion is that we can charge external fees reasonably. The allowances for hospital staff will be borne by the Eighth Route Army. Consumables such as medicines and gauze can be added to the purchase price plus freight, plus other Consumption, set a reasonable price, and achieve break-even."
"Okay." Su Xiaoyan said happily: "Captain, we think so too. With your support, we will definitely run a private hospital open to the outside world."
Xu Dalong said: "Okay, you go back and plan carefully, come up with a feasible plan, and give it to Commissioner Zhao Zheng. I will inform Commissioner Zhao Zheng and use part of the funds as the upfront funding for the private hospital. "
Su Xiaoyan left happily. Xu Dalong's mood was a little heavy. He is absolutely certain that using part of the medical resources of the field hospital to open up to the public and serve the people is definitely a good thing. But some things are not necessarily good if you think they are good. At least some people will be biased. They believe that the Eighth Route Army has discipline and must serve the people wholeheartedly and provide free medical treatment to the people. No one will have any objections. They don’t care whether your hospital can continue to operate normally, even if the hospital completely collapses and there is no way to treat the people. It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you charge people, you are violating discipline and will be criticized by your superiors. If it is serious, you will be considered to be harming the people, and you may even be severely punished.
Xu Dalong concluded that this matter would definitely cause trouble, and one person could not win the hearts of a hundred people. The Eighth Route Army provides free medical treatment to the people. It is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied and complain to their superiors, not to mention charging a fee. There are even people who are looking for trouble and will seize this opportunity to put you on the line, and the consequences will be extremely serious. It can be said that no smart person would bother with this.
The reason why Xu Dalong dared to do this was that, first of all, he really wanted to solve the problem of difficulty in medical treatment for ordinary people. Secondly, he also bet that with so many merits, ordinary people would not be able to defeat him. Of course, Xu Dalong does things with a plan. After careful consideration, he decided to take precautions and get a death-free gold medal in advance.
After Xu Dalong figured it out, he flew to the Taihang Mountain base again and asked to see Commander Si.
Xu Dalong first reported to the commander and chief of staff the preparations for the Mawushan Military Division battle, and then reported on the establishment of a branch of the field hospital open to the outside world.
After listening to this, Commander Siling also frowned slightly. He believed that Xu Dalong's starting point in doing things must be good, but this matter would be more troublesome. He asked Xu Dalong if he insisted on doing this.
Xu Dalong said without hesitation that he just wanted to benefit the people and at the same time reserve medical talents for the army.
Member Si Ling has always supported Xu Dalong and admires Xu Dalong's broadmindedness and approach. He decided to support Xu Dalong, but he is a man of great wisdom, and he must be foresighted and have backup plans.
In order to avoid future troubles, the commander asked Xu Dalong to hold a meeting after he returned and submit a report to the provincial military region in the name of the Mawushan military division organization. The commander would take this report and apply to his superiors. At the same time, Xu Dalong was asked to report the matter to the former head of the Chongqing office in northern Shaanxi and Zhang Wanhe, the logistics minister.
At the same time, it was required that the Mawushan Military Division should not implement this new Zheng policy without authorization from superiors.
Xu Dalong had already thought about this. Before he came, he had drafted an application report in the name of Mawushan Military Division. The report was stamped with the official seal of Mawushan Military Division, but the signature underneath was There was only him, Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong has read the original work of Liang Jian and knows that Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong are both upright people, and the final ending is very disappointing. They are not as smooth as Xu Dalong, and they do not have the influence of Xu Dalong. Xu Dalong didn't want to leave any excuse for them. If he was attacked in the future, Xu Dalong would be responsible for the controversial matters alone.
The commander and chief of staff read the application report of the Mawushan Military Division and saw that only Xu Dalong signed it. They understood his intentions and admired Xu Dalong's character even more. Commander Si and the chief of staff reported to their superiors in the name of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region and elaborated on their support. Zhang Wanhe also reported to his superiors in the name of the Logistics Department.
The former head of the Chongqing office in northern Shaanxi valued Xu Dalong very much. At least he gave strong support to Xu Dalong's practice of storing medical talents for the army and serving the people, and explained his supportive opinions to the underground party superiors. In the end, the superiors of the underground party, the superiors of the Eighth Route Army, the Logistics Department, and the Taiyue Military Region issued formal documents of agreement.
With these Shangfang swords, Xu Dalong no longer worries about getting into trouble.
When the official documents from their superiors were issued, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Limin and others were a little confused because they did not know about this matter and did not understand why Xu Dalong did this without telling them.
They all believed that Xu Dalong was not a credit-seeker and that he must have his purpose in doing so. It's just a part of it that they couldn't figure out for the moment. No one blamed Xu Dalong, but half-jokingly said that it would be best for Xu Dalong to inform them if anything happens in the future.
Xu Dalong didn't defend himself, he just said that it was up to him to decide this matter, and he would not do it next time.
Not long after, one day at noon, when Xu Dalong was about to go home for dinner when he was about to get off work, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Limin, Zhang Dabiao, and Huang Jingzhong came to Xu Dalong's office together.
Xu Dalong looked at everyone curiously and asked, "What are you doing? Do you want to have a meeting?" These people were all organizational members of the Mawushan Military Division. They all arrived at once, which made Xu Dalong feel as if something important had happened. Same.
Li Yunlong stared at Xu Dalong closely, and after a moment he said: "Brother Dalong, you are so dishonest and look down on others. We are all comrades-in-arms and good brothers. We can't have any benefits that belong to everyone." , if something happens, I’ll let you take care of it alone. Do you still think that we are your brothers?”
Zhao Gang also said: "Comrade Xu Dalong, you alone make decisions on behalf of the organization without authorization. This is a violation of organizational disciplines. You must not act on your own like this again in the future."
Zhao Gang's words seemed to be blaming Xu Dalong, but his eyes were already moist.
Wang Limin, Huang Jingzhong and Zhang Dabiao also complained about Xu Dalong, saying that good brothers must share blessings and share hardships.
It turned out that Zhang Wanhe quietly told Li Yunlong about this matter, and Li Yunlong told the leaders of the military division about it. Everyone was very moved, so they came together to find Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You are overthinking. The reason why I signed the report by myself is just because I counted the medals I received yesterday, and one was still one short of 100. I was eager to make merit, so I wanted to take all the credit."
Everyone knew that Xu Dalong was joking. Li Yunlong punched Xu Dalong on the shoulder and said, "Don't say anything. Today at noon, a few of us paid for ourselves and put together a banquet. We brothers will get drunk before resting."
Zhao Gang is a thoughtful and conscientious person. He also did a lot of work in opening the hospital to the outside world, and also conducted in-depth and detailed publicity to the people in the area through the Xingzheng Office.
First of all, it shows that the purpose of the hospital opening to the outside world is to serve the people, and the fees collected are to solve the daily balance of income and expenditure of the field hospital. All expenses of the field hospital, including the purchase price of medicines, gauze and other consumables, freight and other normal expenses of the hospital, will be posted on a list every month for all people to supervise.
It is free for special personnel, including households with five guarantees and military dependents.
People generally support the opening of the field hospital to the outside world, but some people have opinions and believe that there should be no external charges. The Xingzheng Office also carried out special publicity on this, allowing them to compare the prices provided by the field hospital. As a result, the people basically accepted the practice of field hospital charging.
Xu Dalong has been paying attention to the actions of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army has not made any big moves in recent times. While Xu Dalong was wondering, news came from Wang Shuhuai that Yan Guiwu had received news from the 32nd garrison division.
A small team of the Japanese army came from the direction of Peiping. This team was all Japanese intelligence personnel and came to investigate the situation related to road and railway transportation. This made it clear that the Japanese army was about to transport troops on a large scale to Taiyuan.
Xu Dalong informed Zheng Xirong and Wei Dayong of the news respectively, asking them to strengthen surveillance of the Japanese army.
Wei Dayong was not idle during this period. With the help of Huang Xiejun's fourth division, they entered the defense areas of the 32nd Division and Huang Xiejun respectively. (End of chapter)
