march to victory

"Excuse me, are you the Red Army?"

When the three of Zhang Qingshan heard this, they were astonished as if they had seen an alien.The point is that in this sentence, the amount of information revealed is relatively large.

First of all, this is the first time in so many days that everyone has heard a local speak Chinese so fluently, adding the word "excuse me", obviously, the other party is definitely a knowledgeable and educated person, not barbaric As soon as they came up, they killed them directly - as long as they were not killed immediately, it would be tantamount to giving Zhang Qingshan and the three of them a way to survive, because Zhang Qingshan was sure to persuade the other party, at least he could persuade the other party to let the three of them go.This is very rare in this remote and seldom-populated area, and it made the three of them feel rare to see a baby suddenly.

Secondly, from the fact that he called the three of them "Red Army", we know that this person has no hostility towards the Red Army, and even has good intentions.Because anyone who is a little bit hostile to the Red Army is at least called a "red head" for the Red Army.

Finally, if the opponent is not hostile to the Red Army, then he can help himself.Especially in this most difficult time, any help to the four of them is invaluable.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party just asked this question on purpose, so that people would feel that he had no hostility towards the Red Army, so that Zhang Qingshan and the three of them would voluntarily admit it.

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan and the others were obviously a little surprised and did not answer immediately, his smile became a little gentle: "Don't worry, I have no hostility towards the Red Army..."

After saying this, he straightened up, glanced around, and smiled at Zhang Qingshan: "Besides, if I am really hostile to you, you have no chance to resist, so why should I do anything unnecessary, right?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, put down his hands, and said with a faint smile: "We are the Red Army."

"Old Zhang..."

Zhang Qingshan knew why Zhou Ping was so eager to remind himself. He must be afraid that if he admitted it, the other party would plot something wrong. But the question is, when everyone has reached this point, what else do they have to lose?Rather than making people laugh in secret, it's better to admit it openly. In this case, even if he dies, he can still be regarded as an aboveboard hero.

Seeing that it was not enough to stop it, Zhou Ping sighed in his heart, and looked up at the leader of the opponent as if waiting for the result.

When the leader heard Zhang Qingshan's words, he stared at Zhang Qingshan's eyes in silence. After a while, his expression turned cold, and his tone was full of doubt: "I hate cheating the most, especially if you dare to pretend to be my friend. Deceive me……"

Speaking of this, he found that Zhang Qingshan was still looking directly at him, not only did he not evade at all, even his eyes did not change at all, appearing very magnanimous.He frowned slightly, but still stared at Zhang Qingshan, and asked word by word: "What proof do you have?"

"I..." Zhang Qingshan just said one word, but he didn't know what to say next: Yes!At this time, what can they do to prove their identity?Wearing the uniform of the Red Army, but without anything that can prove his identity as the Red Army, on the contrary, it becomes more and more deceptive.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan like this, the two people around him also frowned and didn't speak. The surrounding cavalrymen raised their guns that had been put down and aimed at the three of them. The scene suddenly became a little bleak.

But at this moment, a man about 40 years old on the left of the leader said a few words to the leader.

The leader nodded, pointed at Zhang Qingshan's military cap, and asked, "There seems to be something missing on your cap."

Zhang Qingshan's heart brightened instantly, and he opened his mouth to answer: "The five-pointed red star on our military cap was...by..."

This question is really difficult to answer: You can't call Zhou Baoyu out and show them the bag of five-pointed red stars, right?Zhou Baoyu is everyone's last hope. Before the attitude of the other party is determined, even if all three of them sacrifice, Zhou Baoyu's existence must not be exposed-this is not only because the bag of five-pointed red stars is where the last wish of the sacrificed comrade is, More importantly, someone must find the organization alive and report everything that happened here to the organization, so as to be worthy of the trust and sustenance of the sacrificed comrades.Therefore, Zhang Qingshan couldn't continue talking halfway through.

The leader suddenly sneered.

Xiang Fuli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "If you want us to prove it, you can, but you have to prove that you have no malice towards our Red Army. Otherwise, for us, it doesn't make any sense if you don't prove it." .”

Zhang Qingshan turned his head and looked at Fuli, and he greatly appreciated the quick wit in his heart: This is too right, it's too high time, and he will definitely oppose the opponent.In this way, as long as the opponent can prove that he is friendly and not hostile to the Red Army, then he can take a gamble to prove his identity as the Red Army.

Sure enough, these words made the leader of the other party startled, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

However, when he came back to his senses, he laughed.

"I didn't kill you immediately, but patiently asked your identities. Isn't that proof?"

Xiang Fuli opened his mouth and retorted: "Who knows if you are deceiving us and wanting to gain our trust so that you can give it to the reactionaries alive?"

At present, the attitude of the reactionary party to the Red Army is absolutely extremely arrogant, the real "would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go".In this world, how many powerful people like the other party can make friends with the Red Army?Dare to make friends with the Red Army?On the other hand, if these three people were captured alive and given to the reactionaries to receive rewards, they would definitely be worth more if they were alive than if they were dead.

Hearing Xiang Fuli's words, even Zhang Qingshan thought that the other party would take the opportunity to turn his face, at least he would angrily reprimand Xiang Fuli for being ignorant, but what he never expected was that the other party smiled and nodded, and said seriously : "You are right. However, if I can prove it, what do you use to prove your identity?"

"As long as you can show proof, I have a solution."

"I keep my proof at home, and I can only wait for you to arrive at my house. But I know that you will definitely think that I am deceiving you, so this matter is difficult..."

At this moment, a cavalryman rushed over, dismounted, clenched his right hand and put it on his left chest, bowed and said a few words to him.After he replied a few words loudly, the cavalryman bowed to him again, got on his horse, and left in a hurry.

Only then did Zhang Qingshan notice that the sound of gunshots and shouts of killing had long gone, and there was hardly any sound around him.Obviously, this group of people and the gang of horse bandits are deadly enemies, otherwise, they just need to drive the other party away, and they definitely wouldn't have pursued them so far and in such a hurry.

The leader obviously didn't have the heart to talk to Zhang Qingshan and the others anymore, and said directly: "You can keep your weapons, but I must send someone to guard you. But, the ugly words are up front, you'd better not do anything, Otherwise, if there are any consequences, don't blame me for not being friends enough."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the three of Zhang Qingshan to answer, he gave some instructions to the leader of the cavalry that surrounded the three of Zhang Qingshan before, and then, with a wave of his hand, led a large number of cavalry towards the horse bandits fleeing. direction.

The three of Zhang Qingshan felt that this matter was a bit inexplicable, but seeing the six people around them holding guns and staring at each other, the three of them had no choice but to sit on the ground and wait.Don't talk about making friends with these six people - they also have to understand Chinese!Even the three of them had no interest in talking.

This waiting made Zhang Qingshan and the three of them feel that their days are like years.Because they waited until dawn, and then until the morning sun, and finally, when the sun was shining, they saw the leader come back with a group of cavalry and dozens of people running forward.

During the waiting period, the three also discussed what should they do if the other party could not produce evidence?If the other party really wants to go to the other party's house to get evidence, how should they deal with it... What worries the three of them most is that Zhou Baoyu will crawl out if he can't bear it, which will expose the last hope.Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan was quick-witted and reminded everyone: The guards couldn't understand Chinese, so we simply pretended to chat and actually reminded Zhou Baoyu loudly not to come out.But that's it, and was interrupted by the watchers - because the watchers couldn't understand Chinese, they were most afraid that the three of them were discussing some conspiracy, so they often scolded them, and it seemed that the three of them were not allowed to chat .But Zhang Qingshan has a way. Seeing that chatting loudly is not enough, he came up with another brilliant idea: the three of them took turns to pretend to have a pee, and when they peed next to the big rock, they would pretend to sing, but bullied each other because they couldn't understand. He blatantly reminded Zhou Baoyu not to come out... In this way, he finally supported the leader until he brought people back.And Zhou Baoyu was also stubborn, holding back abruptly without revealing it.

On the contrary, the six watchmen took the initiative to distribute water and food to the three of Zhang Qingshan when they were eating, which somewhat increased Zhang Qingshan's trust in them and his expectations for the future.

Zhang Qingshan wasn't surprised that they had hundreds of people - one could guess from yesterday's gunshots and shouts.But there were two things that surprised Zhang Qingshan: First, they actually pulled more than 20 carriages and drove a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock.There are all kinds of things in the carriage, from pots and pans to earth cannons, from food to rags.Zhang Qingshan couldn't help thinking: Could it be that you have already decided that this battle will be won, so you prepared so many carriages early, and then ransacked the old den of the gang of horse bandits to the point where even the rats had to move? ?The more thorough the looting, the poorer you are.

The second point is that two-thirds of the people who came back from running were women, but they were all young and strong. They were all carrying guns or knives, and some had blood on their bodies, which showed that they were really Have fought on the battlefield.Moreover, judging from the atmosphere of their talking and laughing as they walked, it was obvious that they could all be called veterans, and it was not the first time they had been on the battlefield.Although there are many female soldiers in the Red Army, most of them are engaged in civilian logistics work such as medical care. How many of them went to the battlefield to fight in person?But today it opened Zhang Qingshan's eyes, but it is precisely this point that just shows the toughness of this group - even the women are so fierce, let alone the men in this group?

The leader came on horseback with a smile on his face, and when he saw the astonished expressions of the three, he immediately became cold-faced: "What kind of expressions do you three have? Don't you think there are any women in your Red Army who served as soldiers?"
