march to victory

Zhang Qingshan didn't know the reaction in other people's hearts, but he knew his own heart very well. At this time, he was shocked and blamed himself.

What shocked me was: Why did the food suddenly become only about 25 catties left?

What I blame myself is: because I no longer care about the logistics, I only think about the lives of the newly joined comrades every time, and I have to rush to supplement them with nutrition at the first time, and every time I can get a satisfactory completion, gradually , Zhang Qingshan ignored the logistics, and even subconsciously forgot the actual situation, and had a selective belief that the food he brought was enough for everyone to walk out of this water and grass field in victory... Now, he was suddenly pulled into a cruel situation. Facing the real reality, Zhang Qingshan was shocked, and naturally felt self-blame and regret—how did my mentality become like this?If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have been so impulsive and didn't consider the problem comprehensively. Instead, I should have made serious and careful calculations. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a big problem now.

In fact, although Zhang Qingshan's thinking is wrong, it is a bit too much: at the beginning, Lausanne only gave them three supplies to prepare double supplies. Start saving.But three people became six, then dozens, and now hundreds. Under this explosive growth, there are only so few supplies, which can only be reduced but not increased. As a result, no matter how everyone saves, the It is far from enough, and they are doomed to run out of food at some point before they successfully walk out of this water and grassland.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingshan is a responsible person, the past is the past, as long as you recognize the mistakes and correct them, now, you still have to think about the future.

But the problem is that Zhang Qingshan can't think of any way at all at this moment, the key is that it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, especially in this place, not to mention finding people for supplies, just looking for more stuttering, it is even more difficult .How do you let him solve it?

Glancing secretly at the few people around him, I found that they were all frowning, obviously the same as me: although they knew they were wrong and wanted to change, they were just like me, and there was no other way.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to turn to the logistics minister in front of him for help.

"Old Zhou, we all realize that we made a mistake, so don't be as knowledgeable as us..." First apologize to Zhou Ping. Zhou, you have been a logistics manager for so long, you must have such an emergency solution in your heart... Don't shake your head! Everyone's mind is a mess now, but they are all counting on you, you can't just watch Comrades starve to death one by one and remain indifferent..."

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan's words became more and more serious, Zhou Ping felt that if he didn't help, or forced a complete solution, he would be sorry to his comrades.This made him a little unbearable, and after turning his eyes to Zhang Qingshan, he interrupted Zhang Qingshan simply: "Old Zhang, I also know the seriousness of the problem, otherwise, after I suddenly heard about this situation just now, I would I won't be so angry, and I don't dare to show faces to you all at the same time. But, Lao Zhang, don't count on me, I know that this situation will not last much longer than you, so this question, or Let's figure it out together."

Hearing what Zhou Ping said, Zhang Qingshan understood that Zhou Ping really had no choice.Looking at the others, everyone is frowning and their eyes are full of disappointment... Then, the company commander can only go up to him.

"Old Zhou is right. This matter really depends on all of us to face it together and find a solution together..." Speaking of this, seeing that everyone's emotions are not high, Zhang Qingshan, as the company commander, naturally understands that at this moment, it is It is absolutely impossible to dampen everyone's morale, but to continuously improve everyone's confidence.So, he chuckled, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "There's an old saying that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! I don't believe it anymore, and the five of us party members can't fight this problem."

When Liu Bing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked directly: "Old Zhang, seeing that you are so calm, do you have any good ideas?"

I really don't know how you, the company commander, managed to become a company commander. At this critical moment, you don't know how to improve morale, but rely on others?

"The solution is all figured out." Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes at him angrily, but still kept a smile on his face: "Come on! Everyone sit down... Let's sort out these problems one by one, or what may arise The chain reaction problem."

After everyone sat down, Zhang Qingshan first said to Zhou Ping: "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen! Lao Zhou, lend me your little notebook and the pencil in your pocket, so that I can write down the things discussed and the results one by one. .”

"Forget it, I'll take the minutes of this meeting."

As soon as Zhou Ping finished speaking, Peng Peng interrupted: "Old Zhou, you are more familiar with the situation and can provide information and participate in the discussion. Unlike me, I still can't figure it out. Let me write it down."

"Let's start from easy to difficult. However, we won't discuss clothes, cigarettes, alcohol, etc., just talk about food and firewood..." After Peng Peng was ready, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth and suddenly remembered At one point, I asked Zhou Ping: "Old Zhou, you said just now that there is no shortage of salt... how much is left?"

"There is more than half of it (I don't know what Lausanne thought at the time, but he gave them a whole piece of salt the size of a pot, which weighed ten catties. You know, salt is also a scarce commodity on the grassland.), enough for us More than 100 people will eat it for a few more months..." Zhou Ping is quite confident about this, after thinking for a while, he added: "Even if there is no medicine in the end, washing the wound with salt water for the wounded can guarantee two Don't delay."

This guarantee is really emboldened: because Zhang Qingshan and the others have been walking for about 20 days, according to the experience and speed of the Central Red Army walking the water and grassland, the main force and some scattered large stocks are not right, so it only took 25 to 27 days. sky.Therefore, there is still more than half of the salt left, and it weighs six to seven catties. Even if the wounded are bathed after the water is melted, one catty a day will be enough.

"Well! That's good." After Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, he said to everyone: "Next, let's talk about the issue of firewood. Now, there are only two and a half bundles of firewood left. Based on the cost of each meal for more than 100 people Consumption, Lao Zhou, how many meals can you make?"

"It depends on how many people there are in order to be more specific."

Zhang Qingshan immediately looked at Liu Bing, because he was in charge of this aspect.

After thinking about it, Liu Bing said, "I don't think we can count on the number of people we have now, and we have to count the new comrades who will join in the future. In my opinion, let's count on 200 people first."

"so many people?"

This question was asked by Zhou Ping, but when he asked, his face was a little pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, which showed how shocked he was, or how worried he was about the pressure in the future.

"It's still good for me. Otherwise, at today's speed, it is estimated that by tomorrow evening, it will be over two hundred."

Zhou Ping's brows immediately frowned into the word "Chuan", lowered his head, and silently took a deep breath.

"Old Zhou, don't be so pessimistic~!" Seeing this, Zhang Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "We are not gods, how can we know what will happen tomorrow, maybe none of us will receive it tomorrow... just Let’s start with 200 people.”

Zhou Ping looked up at Zhang Qingshan, and took a deep breath to calm the agitation in his heart.Nodding his head, he said, "If we count 200 people, we now have two large pots and one small pot. By the way, we also count the simple hanging pots made by our comrades. If there are only these two bundles and a half As for the firewood, I can only promise at most, try to make a meal."

"Only one meal?" This time, it was Zhang Qingshan's turn to be surprised.

"If you don't believe it, ask Old Wang, he is good at lighting fire."

Old Wang pursed his lips, but did not answer.However, seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over in surprise, he had no choice but to nod helplessly, expressing that the actual situation was indeed the case.

"Based on this situation, firewood is indeed a top priority." Zhang Qingshan frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and asked Zhou Ping: "Old Zhou, this means that we want to eat cooked food again in the future. If you drink non-toxic boiled water, you can only collect dry dung, dead branches and other things that can start a fire on the road, right?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Qingshan thought about it again, and said: "Since this is the case, I suggest that everyone walk in a line from tomorrow. This way, the search area can also be expanded. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded.

"That's the only way to go." Old Zhou also sighed, nodded and said, "Oh~! I hope God won't do anything wrong and leave us a way out."

Hearing the words, Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of another question that had been lingering in his heart, but had never been raised.

"By the way, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something. Lao Zhou, how long have we been walking? How long do you think we will go?"

"Counting today, we have already walked for 21 days." Zhou Ping pondered for a while, and said: "At the beginning, the main force of the Central Red Army only walked for 25 to 27 days..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ping paused intentionally, because he saw that everyone was frowning, but now when they heard this, everyone's eyes lit up: it only took four or five days to walk out of this water grass field , then, no matter how great the difficulty is, it will not be a difficulty. The big deal, I endure it, and I don't believe that I can't persist for four or five days.

"However, I think that this kind of thing cannot be absolute, so I suggest that it is better to count it as 30 days. In other words, we must be prepared to go for another eight days."

"Well! Old Zhou reminded you rightly, the current situation prevents us from being careless in the slightest, and we must prepare for the worst anytime and anywhere... I think it will take ten days before we can get out of this water grassland Let's figure it out."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan found that everyone's atmosphere was still a little optimistic. At least, he saw that the corners of Liu Bing's mouth were raised.However, he didn't bother to talk about it now.

"Next, let's talk about the most pressing problem: how to solve the problem of food?"

Sure enough, since everyone agreed that it would only take four or five days for them to walk out of the water and grassland, this mentality immediately changed dramatically: before when everyone heard this question, they were all frowning, but now, everyone has relaxed a lot, at least, Everyone no longer frowns, but looks normal...
