march to victory

At night, Zhang Qingshan, Sun Zhiping, and Zhou Ping gathered at the foot of a hillside, smoking a cigarette and having a meeting - none of them had experience in grassland, so it was necessary to hold a meeting while walking and exploring.

"Old Sun, Old Zhou, I don't know if you two feel it. The situation I saw during the day, although everyone has enough weapons and food, but the morale is a little different." Zhang Qingshan gently touched the wound on the wound. The gauze asked the two of them—because the bones were not injured, the flesh grew quickly. In just a few days, the wound became more and more itchy. This means that the wound is growing flesh, which is a good thing, but sometimes it itches It's so severe, but I don't dare to scratch it hard, so I can only stop the itching through the gauze.

And beside Zhang Qingshan, there are three twigs inserted: this is not for fun, but to use the principle of three points and one line to compare with the North Star to determine the direction.

"Well! Several comrades in the team participated in the revolution not long ago. It is normal for so many comrades in arms to be ambushed and sacrificed by the enemy. It will be nice to see them a few more times." Zhou Ping's face was calm, his tone was calm, and he was used to it. The meaning of life and death, and suddenly said the words too deadly, so that the other two didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little deserted.

After a while, Zhang Qingshan said: "I think we should find a way to improve morale."

But in such an environment, how to improve morale?To win a battle?no!It's too late to evade the enemy's search; sing revolutionary songs?Not to mention, it would be tantamount to voluntary exposure...

Another moment of silence.

"Captain, let me figure it out, let's just leave it at that, they will get used to it after a while."

"Old Zhou, there is something in your words, tell me."

"Captain, along the way, we have also found the remains of some single comrades, but this time we found the most, so comrades are a little emotional. But I guess, such situations will continue in the future, so I think as long as The three of us put ourselves in the right position, set an example for everyone, and encourage everyone with a few words from time to time."

Sun Zhiping had been smoking in silence, and when he heard his words, he suddenly asked, "What if we meet more people in the future?"

Lao Zhou frowned immediately, and his tone became a little heavy: "If you meet a few people, even if you meet a few more individuals, it's easy to say. But if you meet this kind of people who have dozens or hundreds of sacrificed comrades The scene of the dead body, then we don’t have to worry, it’s just a death.”

Zhang Qingshan and Sun Zhiping looked at each other and frowned.Lao Zhou's words are too straightforward, but the meaning is obvious: no matter how many people you encounter, it means that the main force is fine.But if you often encounter a large number of sacrificed comrades, it can only explain an extremely serious problem: the main force has been hit by a huge blow and scattered, otherwise, such a situation will never happen, then, as you can imagine, the enemy Not only will they blockade the front with chariots and horses, but they will also attack and kill Red Army soldiers everywhere.The 30 of them, even if they wanted to turn around and go back, they would have no chance, they would be like a lone boat in the huge waves, they would be smashed to pieces by the huge waves at any time, what's the use of worrying?

"Okay, that's all for the time being. Next, let me talk about the second question." Zhang Qingshan took a deep breath of cigarettes and said, "Regardless of the situation of the main force, I estimate that there will only be more and more enemies. The next road will be more difficult to 'walk'. Therefore, I personally suggest that you should use reconnaissance flexibly, no longer limited to the previous distance, but take the mountain as the unit. Only when a safety signal is issued from the top of the mountain can the people behind move forward. What do you two think about this?"

This question is absolutely suitable for the current situation, and they naturally agree.

After Zhang Qingshan published all the questions in his mind and discussed with everyone, he asked: "I only have these questions, do you have any questions?"

Zhou Ping opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to take the initiative to ask: "Old Zhou, I see that you are very straightforward. If you have anything to say, just say it. Let's discuss it together."

"I originally wanted to talk about the current issue of everyone's burden, but think about it, even if we make a decision, comrades are absolutely reluctant to discard the food we get, so it's better not to talk about this issue."

Who would have thought that what everyone is worried about now is too much food.Everyone is very helpless about this problem: When the Central Red Army crossed the grass, the biggest problem was stomach problems.Before the start of the Long March, the higher-ups told everyone again and again. Now, it is probably impossible for everyone to discard food. It is better to eat while walking. Although the speed is slower, the stomach problem is solved. Everyone eats a full meal for several days, instead of eating it mixed with wild vegetables.The most is to wait until a certain time, and then control.

Zhang Qingshan could only smile wryly and said: "Forget it, let everyone eat for a few days to restore everyone's physical strength."

"Old Zhang, I have a question here, and I want to ask you."

"Well! Say it."

"Everyone knows that your assault company has undergone special training and must have its own unique abilities. I don't know, when you were training, did you have any means to hide under the current situation?"

When Zhang Qingshan heard this, he patted his forehead and said: "Blame me, blame me, I was negligent."

Zhang Qingshan was indeed negligent, because when he looked at the problem, he always subconsciously regarded himself as the commander of the assault company, not the captain of the wounded soldiers.But the problem is that the assault company is a special forces unit, and this team of wounded soldiers is at most an ordinary unit that combines veterans and recruits. Can it be the same?Therefore, he always thought that there was no need to remind himself of such small problems as how to hide them. It would be strange if the soldiers in the company didn't know how to do it, but he didn't think about it, or he didn't notice it. .

There is no need to say more about the next thing.

Fortunately, everyone had just finished eating, and they were still awake, and it was half a month later. Zhang Qingshan led everyone, divided into several teams, and went around to pull weeds. He also ordered that they must be uprooted.Later, when I taught everyone how to tie the grass tightly to the body, I encountered a problem: During training, everyone used thin threads to tie the grass into a handful according to a certain ratio, then tied it to the net, and draped it on the body.But now, they are all ordinary soldiers, and they don't even know how to use the things at hand to hide, let alone don't even have a rope.In the end, a soldier solved the problem: cut a dozen or so small holes in the clothes with a bayonet, then cut the cloth strips on the leggings into thin strips, put a bunch of weeds into the small holes in the clothes, and tied them tightly with thin cloth strips... Zhang Qing Shan also specifically reminded them not to be too close together, but to be properly separated, and it is best to look the same as the surrounding wild flowers and weeds.

When doing this, everyone just thinks it is a kind of fun. Some people make jokes while doing it, and they seem to think it is unnecessary in words. Straw man', and the grass circle on the hat is jokingly called the angel ring.Some people even said nonchalantly that if they were really discovered by the enemy, they would die with them at worst.Zhang Qingshan didn't care when he heard it, and occasionally smiled and nodded in agreement with their point of view.It's just that after everyone tied up, he checked every piece of camouflage clothing very strictly... But when they actually encountered the enemy, it was such a small entertainment that saved everyone's life.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Sun Zhiping and another soldier crouched on the top of a mountain, looked ahead with binoculars, waited for a while, and when they felt safe, they signaled "safe" to the back.

When Zhang Qingshan and others ran to less than 30 meters away from him, Sun Zhiping turned his head to Zhang Qingshan and nodded, and got up with the soldiers around him and rushed down the mountain. Wait for the people behind to arrive and move on, while the people behind are waiting while they can cover them who are going to explore the way.Although the speed is much slower, but the safety has been greatly improved. The mountains on the plain are big, but they are not high at all, which is conducive to this kind of progress. The method, if it is placed in the tall mountains and rivers in the south, this way of advancing is absolutely not advisable.But the problem is that there are many mountains and dense forests in the south, and it depends on luck to see dense forests on the plains.

Sun Zhiping and the two rushed all the way to the opposite side of the mountain, and when they were only five or sixty meters away from the top of the mountain, Sun Zhiping suddenly felt a little uneasy, and grabbed the soldier beside him: "Little Hu, I feel something is wrong, we Slow down and be ready to dodge at any time."

Xiao Hu nodded, and wrapped the rifle belt around with his right hand.

Immediately, the two bowed their bodies, using their hands and feet together, and slowly climbed up the mountain.You can tell at a glance that the two are ready to lie down at any time... Neither of them said what to do if they meet the enemy, because in the morning test, everyone saw it: Zhang Qingshan was hiding more than 20 meters away in a camouflage suit, and he was not careful. Watch, it's hard to spot.As for what to do if you are discovered, it goes without saying: you can run anywhere, but you can't run back, so as not to hurt the people behind.Of course, under the principle of voluntariness, since you have chosen to be a scout, you must be ready to die with the enemy at any time.Because Zhang Qingshan had already said something very cruel and heartless, "For the safety of everyone, I will just watch you fall."

Seeing the distance of about 20 meters from the top of the mountain, Sun Zhiping seemed to have heard the sound of horseshoes, and quickly fell to the ground. When Xiao Hu saw him, he immediately fell down and pressed the rifle in his hand under him without thinking.

In less than two seconds, seven cavalry appeared on the top of the mountain one after another.

At this moment, let alone Sun Zhiping and others, even Zhang Qingshan and the others on the hill behind raised their hearts in their throats: Although I said earlier that I would not save people for the sake of the overall situation, it is not a last resort. , who will watch his comrades sacrifice?

It has to be said that people's inertial thinking is difficult to get rid of.

These few enemies stood on the top of the mountain on horseback, and they just glanced at the vicinity, or they didn't expect that there were Red Army soldiers hiding nearby, so no one cared—they all focused on the enemy. Careful observation from a distance.

But they didn't know that the next few words they said almost caused their leader to be killed by someone...
