march to victory

"Brother Li, how is it? How does it feel to be carried by a horse while lying down?"

Because of the previous experience, this time, Zhang Qingshan took advantage of the large number of people to unload the supplies on one horse and share them among the people. Then, this horse pulled Battalion Commander Li's stretcher forward... Peng Peng Leading the temporarily established squad to open the way at the front, the high platoon leader led people to finish, and Zhang Qingshan and others accompanied the wounded in the middle.

Seeing Li Battalion Commander Li looking at Qin Fang from time to time, his eyes full of depression, of course Zhang Qingshan knew why he was depressed: Why can't the operation be performed immediately?Isn't it just to take a bullet, scrape some meat, I told you to just move, why do you want me to wait?

Zhang Qingshan felt bored, seeing this situation, he naturally wanted to ask Li Xueshan jokingly.

Li Xueshan looked around, smiled wryly at Zhang Qingshan, and said, "It's not as comfortable as being carried by people, but it's better because it's fast and doesn't burden the comrades. Moreover, it's easy to let people dangle. People are asleep, which is good, I like it..."

"Brother Li, can I ask you something?"

"You said."

"Is there a female nurse named Xiang Xueqin who was assigned to your regiment or division from the headquarters hospital?"

"This... this..." He deliberately delayed, touched Zhang Qingshan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, give me a cigarette."

Zhang Qingshan quickly glanced at Qin Fang who was not far behind him, saw that she was talking to Zhou Baoyu in an enthusiastic manner, and didn't notice it, so he quickly took out two cigarettes, lit them, held them in his hand, and looked back Hurry up and pass it to Li Xueshan... Qin Fang specifically said when she set off: Li Xueshan is injured and cannot smoke.But Li Xueshan is an old smoker, asking him to quit smoking suddenly is not good for his health, he has to get rid of it gradually, at least he can't smoke too much until the injury heals.So it was stipulated that Li Xueshan could smoke one in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.Otherwise, whoever gave him cigarettes wanted to make his wound not heal for the rest of his life.To this, Zhang Qingshan agreed with his mouth, and he didn't take it seriously in private, but it was not easy to give it in front of Qin Fang.

"Brother Li, you have to hide your smoking, otherwise, Xiaofang will find out, it will be terrible."

"I know. You come over, keep up with the speed of the horse, and help me cover it."

Zhang Qingshan hastily blocked the line of sight between him and Qin Fang.

Li Xueshan took a deep breath of the cigarette, held it back for a while, then let out a long breath of smoke, and sighed: "It's so exhilarating."

"Brother Li, don't just enjoy yourself, tell me!"

"I thought about it carefully, no."

"Really not?"

"I remember that our division had four nurses and more than a dozen wounded, and none of the nurses had the surname Xiang."

Zhang Qingshan nodded in disappointment and didn't ask any more questions.This aroused Li Xueshan's curiosity: "Why, is this female nurse your wife?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon." Zhang Qingshan said with a slightly smug smile, "Both the division and the regiment have agreed, and after the Long March is over, they will agree to our marriage... Ha! Ha! It's a special approval! "

"As expected of the company commander of the Pioneer Company, he is amazing!" Li Xueshan was taken aback for a moment, and then gave Zhang Qingshan a thumbs up.

No matter when, the word "special approval" itself represents an affirmation of the applicant.

Zhang Qingshan himself was very proud of this matter, so naturally it was difficult to conceal his inner joy and he grinned proudly.But with a smile, he thought, until now, he still doesn't know whether Xiang Xueqin is alive or dead, so how can he laugh.

The mood is naturally unavoidable and somewhat depressed.

As soon as he was in a low mood, he didn't pay attention for a while, and his pace slowed down a little.On the other side, Zhou Baoyu, who was grinding his teeth with Qin Fang, hoping to get two more toffees, saw Li Xueshan smoking a cigarette at a glance, and immediately had an idea.

"Sister Xiaofang, if you give me an extra toffee, I'll tell you a big secret."

"Don't interrupt me, think I'm so easy to cheat?"

"I lied to you as a puppy."

Now, Qin Fang believed it, but she still looked at Zhou Baoyu suspiciously and asked, "Really?"

"Ok!"

"Here!" Qin Fang was also happy, took out a piece of toffee and handed it to Zhou Baoyu's hand. Of course, the words uttered from her powerful little mouth were still as sharp as a knife: "I gave you the candy, but if you dare Lie to me, and think for yourself what the consequences will be."

"Sister Xiaofang, I remember you said in public that everyone is not allowed to smoke for Captain Li, but... Hey~! Sister Xiaofang, listen to me...well, I didn't say anything."

Indeed, it can only be considered that he didn't say anything, because before he finished speaking, Qin Fang suddenly turned her head to look, and at a glance found Li Xueshan who was smoking a cigarette and enjoying himself.Qin Fang's brows immediately stood upright, and she rushed over without saying a word—with her serious and responsible attitude towards her profession, how could she see the patient do something that would restore her damage, and she would be damned if she wasn't angry.

"Li Battalion Commander, didn't you promise me that you would only smoke three cigarettes a day... How many times have I told you that smoking like this now is not good for your injury control..."

Zhang Qingshan, who was lowering his head and thinking about Xiang Xueqin, woke up suddenly when he heard this, and quickly moved to the right, and quickly dodged.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked five or six meters away, he heard the nagging Qin Fang suddenly ask, "By the way, Battalion Commander Li, I confiscated all the cigarettes on your body. Where did you get this cigarette from?" "Brother-in-law, stop..."

Zhang Qingshan's pace became even faster, and he couldn't even turn his head back.

"Brother-in-law, if you dare to secretly smoke Li Yingchang, I will confiscate all the cigarettes you hid later."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately looked at it together: everyone is a smoker and lacks cigarettes. I heard that someone still hides cigarettes, and everyone wants to know the rest of the news.

Qin Fang also immediately realized that this sentence was wrong and suspected of being a betrayer. She quickly widened her eyes, glared at the surroundings, and shouted like a little pepper: "What are you looking at? I haven't seen anyone who educates people, and I still need to teach them." Do you have injections?"

Everyone laughed and looked away, but if they had any thoughts in their hearts, only they would know.

Zhang Qingshan, who was still secretly laughing, was extremely depressed when he heard this: Well, what are you talking about?

But before he could say anything, Peng Peng, who was walking in the front, turned his head and shouted: "There is a situation ahead, all the comrades in the first class follow me!"

Zhang Qingshan ran forward quickly, even leading the whole team to speed up the pace.

In fact, there is nothing to see. In other words, for the Red Army soldiers who have come to the present, this scene is too much: eleven corpses are lying there.

If there is anything that should surprise everyone, it is that three of the remains are bones.That is to say, the eleven corpses belonged to at least two groups: one group was three soldiers from the Central Red Army, and the other eight, judging from their clothes, were all members of the Red Second Front Army.The two groups of sacrificed people were all gathered in one place. This is the first time everyone has encountered it.

I don't know if it's because of this, when the comrades saw it, they all stopped, looked at it, and whispered something to each other.

When Zhang Qingshan saw this situation, he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and shouted loudly: "Okay, don't look at it, what's there to see? Since the Long March, have you seen the remains of your comrades rarely... Everyone Just remember that they sacrificed for the revolution, and it is enough for us to carry out their wishes to the end and carry them forward. When the revolution wins in the future, we will erect a monument for them so that future generations will remember them forever."

"Okay, don't even look at it, continue on your way, walk out of the grass one step earlier, and you can complete the revolution one step earlier... Baoyu, you go and take off the five-pointed red star on the military caps of these sacrificed comrades, and you are also ours. Do your best for them.”

Continuing on the road, perhaps because we have seen such things a lot, the morale has not changed much, which made Zhang Qingshan feel relieved a lot.

After walking for another hour or two, it was almost noon.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly there were two gunshots. Although the sound was weak, it was very clear in this quiet world where time seemed to stop.

"Old Wu, what's going on?"

Zhang Qingshan immediately called out to Wu Shaohong who was riding a horse more than ten meters ahead.

Wu Shaohong looked through the binoculars, put down the binoculars, turned to Zhang Qingshan and shook his head: "It's too far away, I can't see it."

"Old Peng, take the first squad and search forward in a fan shape towards the source of the sound to the left." Zhang Qingshan immediately ordered loudly. However, he is already a mature commander. After giving the order, he immediately added : "While searching and moving forward, not only must you see your feet clearly, but you must also always pay attention to the comrades on the left and right. Remember to me that the distance between each other must not exceed ten meters. This is an order."

"Yes! Class [-], follow me."

After Peng Peng set off quickly with a group, Zhang Qingshan told Xiang Tao behind him: "Xiang Tao, take a few people to lead the way, remember, don't go too fast, lest some comrades can't follow Going up, especially where the water plants are soft, we must remind the comrades behind to pay attention.”

"Yes!" Xiang Tao got a formal order from Zhang Qingshan for the first time, and he was a little excited, so he answered sonorously and forcefully, and when he turned around to call someone, he was very loud: "You! You! And you guys, all come to me."

"I don't panic when things happen, and I command and dispatch well. I am worthy of being the commander of the assault company specially appointed by my superiors. Now, I can finally go to the operation with peace of mind."

"Brother Li, stop praising me. If you do, I should make a mistake."

"Why, praise you and make mistakes?"

"No, listen to me..."

Li Xueshan laughed out loud when he heard Zhang Qingshan's practice of guaranteeing to make mistakes after making meritorious deeds.

Walking and laughing all the way... Don't look at the two talking and laughing, but in fact, this is what they did deliberately to stabilize their inner curiosity and to show each other that they are qualified commanders.Otherwise, with Zhang Qingshan's temperament, how could he talk and laugh so happily with others at this time.

As they walked forward, they waited for the news from the first team.

But this time it took a long time. After two full hours, a team of three comrades finally came back, but the news that came back, not to mention ordinary soldiers, was Zhang Qingshan and Li Xueshan. Everyone feels grief, indignation and helplessness, but in the end it makes people feel a little bit of expectation and serious anxiety...
