march to victory

"Company commander, go and persuade the comrades to let everyone eat more meat!"

"what happened?"

"Originally I was worried that one pig would not be enough. Unexpectedly, comrades heard that the meat was not thick enough, so they were reluctant to eat meat. They all filled the meat in front of me, but turned around and poured it into other big pots. Some The comrade even smiled and said that he had eaten it, and left the rest of the meat for the comrades who wanted to eat, but I could see clearly that the meat in the large pot was hardly touched. Even if you are greedy, you can just scoop it up It's just a bowl of soup to drink... Everyone has been exhausted from the rapid march all the way. Now hunting, the energy consumption is no less than that during the war. If there is no oil in the stomach, how can we hold on? If you get sick from exhaustion, then It's really troublesome."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze hurried to the temporary dining hall.

First, I watched from the sidelines, and saw that, as Lao Wang said, many comrades lined up here to scoop up meat, turned around and poured it into the pot next to it, but more were scooping up soup, and some even directly Avoid meat.

"What's the matter? Why do you only eat soup and not meat?"

Seeing Zhang Qingshan asking with a sullen face, Wang Wu, who happened to be eating next to him, got up and said with a smile: "Commander, they say that nutrition is in the soup, so everyone scrambled to choose soup."

Zhang Qingshan was so annoyed that he was about to scold "Fart!", but held back forcefully: scolding in private is one thing, scolding in public is another, they are all comrades.

After glaring at him fiercely, Zhang Qingshan walked to the leftmost cauldron of the four cauldrons, looked at it, and shouted to the people around him, "Assemble! Everyone gather for me with their bamboo tubes. "The conditions are limited, and the porcelain bowl is easy to break, so whether it is a war or a quick march, everyone can only use local materials, and the most is to use bamboo tubes as bowls.

The comrades didn't know what happened, but seeing that they could gather with bamboo tubes, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and they gathered together with relaxed expressions.Hu Yingze, on the other hand, saw Zhang Qingshan picking up the spoon, and knew what Zhang Qingshan was going to do, so he hurriedly pulled Peng Peng, together with Lao Wang, and Zhang Qingshan, each standing in front of a big pot, holding a spoon, waiting .

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" Zhang Qingshan tapped the side of the cauldron a few times with a spoon, and when everyone had looked over, he shouted: "All line up for me and come one by one. I don't care what you are looking for." Reasons, but remember, everyone must have a spoonful of meat... You must know that this spoonful of meat is not for yourself, but for fear that you will hurt your comrades..."

Some people ran away when they heard that they were going to line up to eat meat again, but they became curious again after hearing what Zhang Qingshan said later.

"Company Commander Zhang, can't it be so serious?" The comrade standing at the front looked like a veteran, and he was sure that he was not from the assault company, because the members of the assault company would not call Zhang Qingshan with his last name.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is a consistent tradition of our army. It doesn’t matter if you talk about humility or unity, but this is one of the ways of expressing the friendship in battle: I would rather suffer and suffer, and watch the pot full of meat drooling. But just because there is less meat, he would rather choose to drink soup than give up the meat to other comrades in arms, which is really touching.

"It's that serious." After Zhang Qingshan replied to him, he looked at everyone and shouted: "Some of you may think that it's okay to eat less meat or skip a meal altogether, but I want to tell you, This idea is very wrong.”

Seeing some people showing disbelieving eyes, some whispering to each other, and some looking left and right with a look of indifference, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly shouted: "Everyone don't believe it, think about it, after so many days of rapid marching, I am already exhausted and almost exhausted. Now, before you have a good rest, you have received a mission from your superiors to go hunting here... Don't underestimate the hunting, although there is no gunfire during the war, but in terms of physical strength, It is no worse than the physical strength consumed during the war... At this time, everyone's body will be overwhelmed. If you don't eat some meat to supplement your nutrition, what should you do if you are exhausted and sick? At that time, you will have to be hospitalized, take medicine, and Marching and training will be delayed... So, as the captain of the hunting team this time, I order you all to come up to me, each with a spoonful of meat. Although it is not much, it can at least supplement everyone's nutrition... Ugly words ahead : Whoever dares to fall back again, immediately leave me, I never want disobedient soldiers."

With these words, everyone had no choice but to line up obediently to beat the meat.

From Zhang Qingshan's point of view, the four large cauldrons have been occupied. Now, the comrades should have no place to dump the meat, let alone waste it, and can only eat it.But what he never expected, or what moved him, was that after many comrades made a bowl of meat with soup, they drank the soup, but the meat was given to young or thin comrades.Those comrades who received the meat were not willing to do it, and they ran away immediately, so the scene of eating made people laugh with tears: Many comrades chased after to distribute the meat in the bamboo tube to other comrades, but those comrades who ran ahead But they ran to Zhang Qingshan one after another, shouting that everyone should eat their own food, and I have meat... Zhang Qingshan looked at this with a smile and did not stop it, but there was a warm current flowing in his heart, and he bowed his head. head, afraid that people will see the tears in his eyes: how difficult it is!What a good comrade!Even in such a difficult environment, even if there has been a slight improvement in life, everyone still maintains a style of hardship and simplicity, helping each other.It's just that everyone is so humble for this piece of meat, how can you let yourself, the captain, have the face to watch it?no!It is necessary to hunt a lot of prey, at least to ensure that the comrades of the hunting team have a good meal.

In the middle of beating others, Wang Wu and several platoon leaders came to take over.Zhang Qingshan was still a little worried, and reminded him in a low voice that the meat was a bit short, but everyone should have meat in the bamboo tube, and of course, more soup should be given.

As the team leader, Zhang Qingshan naturally wants to set an example, so he unceremoniously scooped up a spoonful of meat with soup and showed it to everyone, then sat around with Hu Yingze and the local hunters, eating While communicating, see where to hunt more prey.

After eating, rest for half an hour.

Zhang Qingshan and other grassroots were frowning, because they had to worry about the next hunting location, but on the contrary, the soldiers didn't have to think about these things, everyone was very happy, playing with each other, and some people were even in high spirits bragging.

"Snapped!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Da da da……"

Just when Zhang Qingshan and the others were at a loss, suddenly, they heard the sound of a box cannon.Although everyone was a little startled, they thought it was because of the outermost security personnel hunting or other reasons, so they didn't take it seriously.After all, the defenders of Lihua fled without a fight. Not to mention Lihua County, no force in the surrounding area dared to provoke the Red Army.

But in less than half a second, there was a burst of intensive gunshots. Judging from the intensity of the gunshots alone, the battle was extremely fierce.And such fierce gunshots, even the sound of light machine guns, were by no means equipped by the peripheral security personnel of the hunting brigade.In other words, there are fierce battles outside the resting place.This not only frightened Zhang Qingshan and the others, but also made them dumbfounded: How bold do you have to be to dare to fight around the Red Army, so you are not afraid of the Red Army destroying you?You must know that those who can join the hunting team are all good players in the Red Army. At least, their marksmanship is carefully selected.

"Judging from the strength of the gunshots, it is estimated that the straight-line distance from our place is seven or eight miles." Tian Guozhong pointed to the northwest, and asked with a weird smile: "Company commander, don't you care?"

Zhang Qingshan smiled and didn't make a sound, but Wang Wu at the side said grinningly: "Old Tian, ​​aren't you talking nonsense? Of course we have to deal with it to the end."

"Yes, no matter who is fighting, if he dares to play tricks in front of our Red Army, we must let him know how powerful our Red Army is."

"Old Li, you can't say that. It makes people think that we are like warlords, only defending our own territory... However, since our Red Army has come to Lihua, we should clean up the various armed forces in Lihua for the people of Lihua, so as not to As soon as we left, they jumped out again to harm the common people." After Zhang Qingshan nodded and smiled, he said to Peng Peng seriously: "Old Peng, assemble the team and prepare to go. Lao Wu, you take a platoon to scout first. Just a minute, and I'll be there with my comrades."

After Peng Peng and Wang Wu walked away quickly, Zhang Qingshan turned his head and asked Uncle Peng, the oldest among the local hunters who came with the Red Army this time: "Uncle Peng, who do you think are fighting over there?"

"One of them must be Lord Wednesday's team, because this area is his territory. The other team..." Uncle Peng thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't guess."

Zhang Qingshan glanced at the few hunters around him, and saw that when Uncle Peng mentioned Lord Wednesday, they all nodded. They immediately became curious about Lord Wednesday, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Peng, what is Lord Wednesday this week?" Who? Can you tell us more about it?"

There are two big bandits in Lihua County. With Lihua County as the dividing line, each occupies half. The big bandit in the south is called Big Beard. He was originally born in a caravan. .There were originally 400 people under his command, but when the Central Red Army arrived in Lihua, this guy didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he dared to help fight the Red Army, but was beaten to death by the Red Army.After the Central Red Army left Lihua, this guy came back again, but his strength has not yet recovered, and there are only more than 100 people under him.

Few people know the real name of Master Zhou Zhou in the north, but what is interesting is that he is the exact opposite of the bearded man.He is the young master of a wealthy family. He was framed by his elder brother and imprisoned because of a fight for family property. He accidentally escaped from prison and escaped under the cover of a family of people. Therefore, the strategy he adopted was to kill the rich and help the poor, and never bully Poor people, but won the support of the people, and the word "father" was also included in their address to show respect, but they were also hated by the government.There are more than 200 people under his command—some of them took over the men who were broken up by the bearded man at that time.

In terms of people and horses, there are many people on Wednesday, but in terms of weapons and equipment or financial resources, the bearded man has the upper hand.In terms of grades, the bearded man is 50 to 30 years old, and Mr. Zhou is around [-] years old, so he can be regarded as a ruthless person.So far, the two sides have lived in peace except for some unavoidable small frictions.As for what happened in private, outsiders don't know.

"According to what you always said, do you think that these two groups of bandits will fight again over there?"

"Probably not." Uncle Peng analyzed: "The bearded man knows that he has made a death feud with the Red Army. Now that you are here, he is afraid of your revenge, so he has already disappeared. God knows where he is hiding now. At this time If you provoke Lord Zhou again, you will be courting your own death. With his fierceness and cunning, he will not do such a stupid thing."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, but fell silent...
