march to victory

"Look at them, what do you see?"

Under the night, watching these people coming with torches or lanterns, and returning satisfied, these people left, and the leader who took the lead asked the comrades around him.

Before everyone could open their mouths, Master Wu Zhengqing, who was in a good mood, drank a little high, and said first: "I only saw the hearts of the people!"

"Yes, people's hearts!" After nodding to Wu Zhengqing in satisfaction, the chief exclaimed: "What the people want, what the people want, cannot be violated!"

Then he said to everyone: "The reason why our Red Army can win the support of the people, to put it bluntly, is enough for us to grasp one point: if the people support, we firmly support; Do you need another special meeting to discuss?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, the chief said to Wu Zhengqing: "Xiao Wu, I asked someone to investigate Comrade Zhang Qingshan's information. Hey!" Speaking of hitting here, the chief couldn't help but hey and smiled wryly. Said: "This guy is a good player in war, and he has never suffered a loss. It can be said that he is a good general, and he is really worthy of your efforts to protect him. But this guy is indeed a troublemaker, and he has caused more troubles every time. It’s big once, how can it go on like this~! He has to polish his impulsive temperament. I think this is the case, let this guy lie dormant for a while... What do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

How dare Wu Zhengqing give the leaders a chance to speak, stepped forward, saluted, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

In this way, Zhang Qingshan's punishment can be regarded as qualitative.

……

"What, let me go to the cooking class to report? Hu, are you right?" Wu Zhengqing turned around and told Hu Yingze about the punishment, and passed it on to Zhang Qingshan.

Hearing this news, Zhang Qingshan really couldn't laugh or cry: Although his life was saved, it was worth laughing, but the problem is, the young pioneer who pioneered the way, went back more and more, and finally got into the cooking class, how did this make him happy?

"Just be content. You caused too much trouble this time. You killed so many people. You should be happy if you didn't get shot."

"Old Hu, we have to make this clear. I killed animals, not people."

"Good! Good! Good! It's a beast, not a human, okay?" Hu Yingze was smoking a cigarette, rolling his eyes, as if I'm too lazy to argue with you about this.

Zhang Qingshan took a few puffs of cigarettes, and suddenly caught sight of Xiang Xueqin who was packing up the dishes. He couldn't help but joked with a smile: "Xueqin, you won't have to worry about eating chicken legs from now on. When I get to the cooking class, I promise I will give you a chicken leg every day."

"Get out!" Xiang Xueqin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and after hearing this, she also scolded him angrily, and continued to work on her own.

After the dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, Zhang Qingshan, who had been joking with everyone with a playful smile, couldn't wait to chase them away.

Then, I blew out the kerosene lamp, lay on the haystack, covered with a quilt, smoking a cigarette, and looked at the ceiling through the blue moonlight projected from the window.Eyes sometimes excited, sometimes dim.Finally, he sighed... From a company commander who was beaten to the end, he became an ordinary soldier, and he still has a chance to rise again.But if you become a member of the cooking class, it will be much more difficult to get up again-the key is that there are almost no chances of meritorious deeds.Of course, the insider would naturally not tell Zhang Qingshan that if you can't cut a jade, you can't make a weapon!This is the intention of the higher-ups to polish him, sharpen his temperament, and sooner or later he will be reused again.

This is the demeanor that a mature man should have: no matter how severely injured or wronged he is, he will never show his fragile side in front of others.He will only lick the wound silently behind his back and endure everything alone.

At the same time, in the room of the chief who characterized the incident, he was staring blankly at a large white cloth spread on the table: the white cloth was full of signatures and fingerprints.

His wife came back from the outside and saw him in a daze, she walked over and asked with a smile: "Why are you looking so engrossed?"

Then, without waiting for her husband to answer, she looked at the cloth on the table in surprise and asked, "This is..."

"The Book of Wanmin, just delivered."

"Who is this? What big event did he do? He got so many people to jointly vouch for him."

"Big event? Hey! It's really a big event. There's a lot of noise. You must have heard about it. It's Zhang Qingshan, the commander of our pioneer assault company..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife's eyes lit up, and she interjected, "I've heard of him. Today in our headquarters hospital, doctors, nurses, and even the wounded are talking about him."

"What did you say?"

"Everyone agreed that it was a good kill!"

"Good kill? Don't you have any different opinions?"

"Privately speaking, I personally think that for this kind of beast that bullies women and does not treat women as human beings, it should be built and killed. But if it is official, Xiao Zhang is really unorganized and disciplined this time, and has committed a crime. Big mistake." Speaking of this, she asked back: "What kind of punishment did you give him in the end?"

Maybe she was afraid that her husband would say that she shouldn't ask these questions, so before he could answer, she explained first: "It's not that I have to break the rules we set, but this time many sisters asked me to ask you. If I don't even know about this matter, tell them I don't know, how will I behave in the future?"

"It's nothing..." The chief said the result with a smile, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The punishment has been announced to Zhang Qingshan overnight, and I believe many people know it by now."

Then he looked at the book of Wanmin and sighed: "Our pioneer is really amazing. Look, there are about four to five thousand people left in Wanxian County, but there are people whose names or fingerprints are on it. It will definitely not be less than four thousand. That is to say, the entire county people, whether they are rich or poor, agree from top to bottom that Zhang Qingshan is doing the right thing. And, you don’t know, this book of ten thousand names sent At that time, those old people asked me specifically: If I think there are not enough people here to save Zhang Qingshan's life, they are willing to mobilize everyone overnight to publicize in every village and village in the county, and they will definitely give us Send me a letter of ten thousand people jointly signed by more than ten thousand people..."

"Then how did you answer?"

"What else can I say, who dares to go against the will of the people?" After he finished speaking, he laughed and said, "It's no wonder Xiao Wu values ​​him so much, and made every effort to guarantee him. This guy has never lost a battle. And he is really a good general. You see, in this way, the support of our Red Army in Wanxian County will probably be unprecedentedly high. Because we rarely get the support of rich and powerful local families in other places, but in Wanxian The county, but the support of the whole county. Based on this, who dares to kill him against such enthusiastic public opinion?"

There are some things that he can't tell his wife clearly: for example, the joint donation of seven big households in the county.

"Since he is able to fight and he is a good general, are you just giving up on him and leaving him in the cooking class?"

"How is that possible?" He shook his head and said, "Although I have participated in the revolution for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a bold person." I know how brave this guy is, and his resume is also very exciting: the first time he went to the battlefield, he dared to kill the enemy, the second time he captured three enemies, and the third time... entered the enemy camp alone, and even used cannons to scare him The other party just lied to Wujiabao... Fortunately, he has only participated in the revolution for half a year, and he still has time to polish it. Otherwise, if he is really allowed to be so lawless, he will cause even greater disasters sooner or later. At that time, even if others want to save He couldn't do anything about it, and that would be such a pity."

Zhang Qingshan didn't know this, so his emotions inevitably had ups and downs, but from the next day until the end of the confinement, his emotions were always high, because countless people came to see him, not to mention smoking and alcohol, just every day Meals and drinks can't be accommodated in the confinement room.But it's hard to refuse, so I have to use a chopstick for each dish, and just like that, he can eat it until he has a round belly.It was cheaper, Xiang Xueqin brought several sisters to his place to serve food every day, just in time to take them back to replenish the wounded.

In the minds of those people whose relatives and friends were harmed by those beasts, Zhang Qingshan was imprisoned for them.After finally finding out, he never refused to bring some food and drink to this great benefactor. Therefore, for three meals a day, everyone took out the best things at home and rushed to send them... For example, Li Laosan, he Hearing that Zhang Qingshan was in jail, he immediately went hunting in the mountains, caught a roe deer, and immediately sent it to a restaurant in the county town, then personally delivered the food and wine to Zhang Qingshan, and stayed with Zhang Qingshan for a while, enlightening Zhang Qingshan.

But in the eyes of more people, Zhang Qingshan is a hero of the world, a great man who cares about the people and is willing to stand up for the people.Therefore, they are all willing to give delicious food to Zhang Qingshan to express the people's respect for the warrior, and take a look at what this hero looks like by the way.

For a time, Zhang Qingshan was almost a household name in Wan County.And this kind of fame has also benefited the Red Army a lot.Among other things, the enthusiasm for supporting the army is just as analyzed by the chief: unprecedentedly high!Even several big families sent their children to join the Red Army, which was unimaginable before.Although there are also suspicions of diversification of investment, it is certain that Zhang Qingshan's tall image of the Red Army in the hearts of the local people has played a big role.

Even Lao Wang, the squad leader of the assault company's cooking squad, went to the street to buy. As a result, when others heard that they were the company led by Zhang Qingshan, they immediately paid half the price, which was considered a half gift.It is naturally impossible for Pharaoh to do this.One insisted on paying the price, and the other made up his mind to only charge half the price. After coming and going, the other party didn't want the money, and said, "Zhang Lianchang is a hero. If he can eat the food I sell, he will think highly of me and give me face. You want If you’re like me again, I don’t want the money.”

Three days later, Zhang Qingshan was released in the afternoon—the troops will start tomorrow to continue the Long March.

But what he never expected was that someone leaked the news, and the people flocked outside the gate to welcome him after receiving the letter.Some people still held the bowls and chopsticks, and asked Zhang Qingshan to taste the dishes he specially made.Some took baskets filled with boiled eggs or fruits, and sent them straight to Zhang Qingshan's arms.Not to mention Zhang Qingshan, even the comrades who followed him couldn't take it anymore, but the people were too enthusiastic, they still kept putting them on them, and there was a tendency to drown them in the many gifts.Everyone was applauding and cheering for Zhang Qingshan, expressing their support and love for Zhang Qingshan...

Zhang Qingshan's eyes were red with emotion, and the depression in his heart was swept away. He felt that for the enthusiasm and love of the people in front of him, let alone killing a dozen animals, no matter how many animals he killed, even if he took his own life, it would be impossible. worth it!

Even the comrades who followed him held their heads high with pride on their faces...
