march to victory

Whether he was a college student or promoted from a rookie who had just joined the army to a company commander in just two years, at least it proved one thing—Liu Bing was definitely a smart person.

In fact, Liu Bing’s experience in the Long March was much simpler than Zhang Qingshan’s. At least, he was like many Red Army soldiers at the beginning, so there was nothing to talk about. The key lies in what happened after he separated from the main force.

In fact, Liu Bing still has a lot of advantages: he can stay with the main force, but in order to stop the enemy cavalry, he volunteered to lead the whole company's rear, and he led a row of soldiers in ambush in the middle , and then retreated while fighting. As a result, the enemy fell into the trick and chased them all the way...until they completely lost contact with other companies. In the end, because they walked into the water and grassland, the enemy also retreated on their own initiative. Gritting his teeth, he bit the bullet and walked into the water grass field.

For his statement, Zhang Qingshan naturally believed deeply: Not to mention that you can find other comrades to investigate, the most important thing is: they are different from the Central Red Army when they crossed the grassland. Or psychologically, they were much more prepared at the beginning.In this way, any group of dozens of people who fell behind was basically separated from the main force during the battle. At least, Zhang Qingshan has never encountered a group of dozens of people who got together because of the group of laggards. .

However, Zhang Qingshan is not concerned about this, he is most concerned about the suicide of those two comrades - in fact, he is also more concerned about why the injured comrades were not allowed to come forward, but because he saw that Liu Bing was already very guilty Well, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Qingshan naturally couldn't pursue this issue any longer.

"Old Liu, when we were chasing you earlier, we encountered two comrades who committed suicide. Are they from your team?"

"Hmm!" Liu Bing frowned, and let out a heavy nasal sound in his nasal cavity.Obviously, this question not only affects him, but also keeps him on his mind.

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan really wanted to give him a punch, but he still restrained himself, because he felt: since Liu Bing dared to admit it, there must be a reason for it, he had better bear it and not be too impulsive.Despite being so restrained, Zhang Qingshan still couldn't hide his inner anger, squinting and glaring at Liu Bing fiercely.

Liu Bing didn't notice Zhang Qingshan's eyes at all. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the ground, and took a deep puff of cigarette. After holding it for a long time, he suddenly exhaled the smoke. It was the same question that made him feel guilty all the time, he vomited it out, and he relaxed a lot.

At this time, he suddenly noticed Zhang Qingshan's gaze.He turned his head and looked at Zhang Qingshan's eyes. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Old Zhang, believe it or not, I used military orders to prevent them from falling behind, but they held guns against each other If I insist on doing this in my head, I really have no choice.”

Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, and after more than a second, he seemed to have figured it out, nodded, and after a long sigh, he said helplessly: "I believe it."

Liu Bing didn't expect Zhang Qingshan to believe it, and turned to look at him, his eyes full of disbelief.Immediately, he nodded, looked at the ground, slightly said "Thank you!", then lowered his head and began to smoke vigorously.

For a while, neither of them spoke again, but they felt that a kind of trust seemed to be established between them.

Because both of them understand that the last question Zhang Qingshan asked, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if the other party explained it, they might not believe it, at least not completely. But for people like them who have experienced the Long March, such a It is absolutely normal and very common: Since the Long March, how many outstanding sons and daughters have sacrificed their ego in order not to drag down other comrades, and have fulfilled their spirit of sacrifice.Only those who understand the kind of people who are willing to give up everything for the sake of faith, including their own youth and life, will understand that life is far less important to them than the victory of faith. Becoming a burden to others, in order to allow other comrades to successfully complete their revolutionary ideals and beliefs, they will end their lives by themselves. This noble character cannot be replaced by anything in the world... On the other hand , It is this kind of sacrifice spirit of "sacrificing the small self to achieve the big self" that will allow the revolution to move forward without fear of any difficulties and obstacles until victory.

The two of them remained silent for an unknown amount of time, until Zhou Baoyu ran over, separated by seven or eight meters, and shouted, "Brother, Company Commander Liu, it's time to eat."

This woke them up.

Zhang Qingshan grabbed the cigarette case and lighter, and when he got up, he thought of something, glanced at Liu Bing, and said slightly: "Comrade Liu Jiang, from now on, don't treat soldiers differently, this will not only chill the wounded soldiers Our hearts will also chill everyone's hearts."

Liu Bing lowered his head, glanced at Zhang Qingshan, nodded, and said, "Yes! I remember it, thank you."

If you know your mistakes, correct them, you are still a good comrade!Zhang Qingshan thinks so.

Seeing that such a proud person as Liu Bing can take the initiative to admit his mistakes and realize his mistakes, this sincere attitude is enough, so he is also very happy.Patting Liu Bing on the shoulder, he said with a smile: "It is said in the book that 'people, who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes', is a good comrade if you know your mistakes and can correct them. Well, don't be so serious, it's not good for the soldiers to see. Let's go , let me see how many kinds of wild vegetables you all ate..."

Liu Bing was actually very grateful to Zhang Qingshan, because he knew that, among other things, as long as Zhang Qingshan persisted in catching up on the wounded, he would not be able to be a company commander either now or in the future, and he might even end the Long March Later, he was severely punished by the organization—at that time, anyone who ate the food they brought with them would be locked up and punished; if they dared to eat other people’s food, they would be shot in all likelihood. Not to mention how severe he is, what's more, the consequences will never be good if he treats them differently.To put it bluntly, he committed a crime during the crackdown, so what can he do?

But Zhang Qingshan not only did not do this, but gave him a chance to call him aside, and talked in private, and the tone was not that serious and cold, just like the usual communication, which made him grateful from the bottom of his heart... Maybe he didn’t I know that it is this kind of gratitude that subconsciously made concessions for him in the next leadership initiative, which can be regarded as a contribution to the overall situation.You know, generally speaking, a proud person is very unwilling to be a subordinate of someone of the same level, and it is almost the same as a leader. If he refuses to back down, it will definitely affect the overall situation.

"Yo~! You have so many kinds of wild vegetables, much more than us, you still have the ability..." Zhang Qingshan stirred the pot with a spoon, and when he saw four or five kinds of wild vegetables, he immediately joked: "You have all eaten them Are these? Is it poisonous?"

A soldier next to him smiled and replied: "Report to Company Commander Zhang, these wild vegetables are not poisonous and can be eaten. Some of them are very sweet."

Zhang Qingshan smiled slightly, picked up the spoon, smelled it, and was about to speak, the soldier added: "We didn't know these wild vegetables at first, and it was Lianchang Liu who took the lead to test the vegetables himself, so we were sure that they were edible."

Zhang Qingshan looked back at Liu Bing beside him, nodded to him with a smile, and pondered in his heart: It seems that this Liu Bing, apart from being proud and saving face, is still very honest in his actions.At the very least, he dared to take the lead in testing dishes. This is commendable. You know, at this time, he is the leader of these people, but he is willing to take the lead in taking risks... On the Long March, because there is no food, there are many wild vegetables that I don’t know. I had no choice but to organize a death squad to eat those wild vegetables that I didn't know. For this reason, many comrades were poisoned after trying the vegetables, but they died because of lack of medical treatment.

He raised his head and shouted to Xiang Tao who was walking over: "Xiang Tao, go, bring me a big bowl, I'm going to have a good meal today, try these wild vegetables that I haven't eaten before."

Then he smiled at the comrades waiting around with bowls: "Okay, all line up, come, I will be your cook for a while."

After Zhang Qingshan filled himself a large bowl of wild vegetables with soup, he squatted together with Liu Bing, Xiang Tao, Zhou Baoyu and seven or eight comrades, forming a circle, and after eating together, Zhang Qingshan finally knew that light What is it like to eat wild vegetables?

What sweet and bitter, so many wild vegetables have been stewed in one pot, and they have been cooked for so long, and there is no taste at all. When you eat it in your mouth, it is not much different from eating grass, just a little more oil.It is conceivable that without this oil, the taste would be several times worse.It is also possible to imagine what kind of life these soldiers lived by eating wild vegetables for so many days.

Zhang Qingshan wanted to vomit after taking the first bite, and couldn't help frowning, but he thought that he was a leader and had to lead by example, otherwise, his comrades would think of him, so he had to swallow it forcefully, even chewing. They didn't dare to chew, for fear that they would make their stomach sick, and spit out all the wild vegetables in their mouths... This is the first time for the three of them to eat their first meal of wild vegetables since they entered the aquatic grass field. Zhang Qingshan did the same, as The fate of Zhou Baoyu, a foodie, can be imagined.

After swallowing the first mouthful, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Baoyu who was squatting on the left, as expected, this kid only drank soup and didn't touch the wild vegetables at all.

As a last resort, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to gently touch him with his left hand. Seeing him squinting at him, Zhang Qingshan glared at him immediately, Zhou Baoyu twitched his mouth, reluctantly ate a wild vegetable, and chewed it in his mouth.Later, seeing Zhang Qingshan was still staring, he was about to cry, but he could only close his eyes, took a mouthful of wild vegetables with soup, and chewed hard.

"You idiot, why are you always chewing?" Helpless, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to secretly teach him the skills: "Just chew a few times, and swallow it quickly... Also, if you want to vomit, you have to give it to me." Spit in a place where no one is around, if you dare to spit here, I will beat you right away."

Zhou Baoyu's painful facial features were almost made into a pair.

On the other hand, Xiang Tao on Zhou Baoyu's left didn't feel any discomfort about it, and he finished one bowl with three strokes, five divisions and two. After taking a look at Zhang Qingshan, he smiled and got up to scoop up the second bowl.Zhang Qingshan admired him greatly, but he could also imagine that this guy probably couldn't even eat wild vegetables in his previous life.

No, it’s okay to eat a few meals on such a day, but if you eat it for a long time, you will encounter big problems sooner or later, and you must find a way to solve everyone’s meals from time to time to nourish everyone’s body.So, what can be found now, and can replenish the body...
