march to victory

"Commander, what's for dinner tonight?"

"You have to ask Comrade Zhou Ping this question... However, you have just finished breakfast and started thinking about dinner now? Your greedy kid has nothing to say... Come on! Let me give you an idea: you You can pretend to be sick by falling headlong to the ground, and then you can enjoy the treatment of the wounded and sick. How about it, boy, do you want to try it? I heard that Lao Wang and the others caught three big fish last night. gone."

"Okay, why are you pretending to be sick? Let's give it to comrades who need it more!"

This is the friendship of war!

"Company commander, after Shengli walks out of the water grass field, do you really want to invite everyone to eat and drink for three days and three nights?"

"It's okay to eat one meal, but eat for three days and three nights~! Get out! I'm not rich man Zhang... No! Even if I am rich man Zhang, I can't stand your extortion."

...Maybe Zhang Qingshan got along with everyone before, making everyone feel that Zhang Qingshan has no airs, or that the Red Army was originally equal to officers and soldiers, so when everyone passed by Zhang Qingshan on the march, they would open their mouths to talk to each other from time to time. Zhang Qingshan said a few words... nothing else, just to show a degree of intimacy.

"Company commander, they said that we only need to walk for another three or four days before we can get out of the water and grass, right?"

Zhang Qingshan replied with a smile: "This question will have to wait until I, Zhang Qingshan, becomes Zhang Banxian, and I will tell you as soon as possible after I can pinch my son. Now, you can only hurry on your way."

A comrade-in-arms next to the questioning soldier smiled and said: "Look, I'll just say it. Who can say this kind of thing accurately? Let's take advantage of the sun just rising and walk a few more steps to get closer to victory. That's what's legitimate."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile and continued walking.

"Old Zhang, the statistics are out."

Zhang Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Liu Bing, nodded immediately, walked a little to the side of the team, and asked in a low voice, "How much?"

"I counted again at breakfast today, and I counted again just now, and it is confirmed that the whole team has a total of 130 six people! Among them, one is seriously injured and seventeen is slightly injured..." Liu Bing explained: "However, I have seen that the injuries of the lightly injured are not serious, and most of them don't even need crutches to walk."

"Old Liu, are you sure it's seventeen? Are you reading that right?"

"Absolutely not, I confirmed them one by one, and I asked Xiaofang specifically, the numbers are absolutely correct... What's wrong?"

Zhang Qingshan frowned and said, "I remember that there were 25 people two days ago, and so many wounded and sick people have been added in these two days, why is it not increasing but decreasing?"

Liu Bing laughed when he heard this, put the notebook away, and explained while putting it in his pocket: "You don't understand this, do you?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded and waited for the next sentence, but he waited for a while, but before he could explain, Liu Bing reached out to the cigarette money with his right hand and made a gesture of pinching the cigarette.

Zhang Qingshan got angry when he saw it: I didn't say anything about how you guys are making trouble in private, but now you still use official business to threaten to ask for cigarettes, which is a bit indiscriminate and excessive.How about criticizing and educating this well and developing it in the long run? Doesn’t that mean that if I don’t have any cigarettes in the future, you won’t regard me as a company commander and stop working?

Liu Bing obviously did this on purpose, no, seeing Zhang Qingshan's eyes widen, he immediately smiled and said: "Don't stare! Don't stare! I am here to protest with you on behalf of the comrades."

"protest?"

"Yup!"

After answering, Liu Bing saw that Zhang Qingshan didn't take the initiative to take out his cigarette, so he simply took out Zhang Qingshan's pocket.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to take out his cigarette.Unexpectedly, Liu Bing snatched the half pack of cigarettes without paying attention, and immediately put them in his pocket, covering them tightly.

Zhang Qingshan glared at him again, and seeing him smiling smugly there, he knew that this pack of cigarettes was meat buns beating dogs—it never came back!I had no choice but to say angrily: "Even if you want to grab it, you have to give me two to enjoy yourself, right?"

"Eh~! Makes sense, makes sense." Liu Bing slapped his forehead deliberately, pretending to be guilty, and turned around to take out a cigarette for Zhang Qingshan while laughing: "After all, you are also the director of the factory. You can't do something like killing the chicken and taking the eggs..."

Zhang Qingshan is too lazy to care about these.

After lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, he asked, "Continue with the topic just now, tell me, what's going on here?"

"It's very simple~!" Liu Bing took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "Because they are all lightly wounded and recovered quickly, so they were discharged from the hospital quickly..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bing paused for a moment, glanced at Zhang Qingshan, and saw that Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly. Obviously, Zhang Qingshan had the same understanding as him about the word "slightly wounded": after such a long time, Such a long journey, although there is no enemy chasing and intercepting, but there is also a lack of medical treatment, long-term fatigue, and rapid decline in physical fitness. Those who can persist until now are basically lightly wounded.Because most of the seriously wounded died.

"However, our soldiers are all good."

Seeing that these words really attracted Zhang Qingshan's attention, Liu Bing said with a smile: "I'm telling you, if Comrade Qin Fang hadn't sternly refused and ordered them, the wounded and sick in the medical team would probably only be Battalion Commander Li. Yes. I have secretly inquired, the reason for this is that comrades feel that their minor injuries are nothing, and they do not deserve this kind of treatment, especially at this time. Some people also said that when they were fighting in the past, This minor injury is a fart. How can you enjoy such treatment here? Some people don’t want to see themselves special, and some even refuse to eat the meals of the wounded and sick. For... Alas~! You are right, they are all good fighters, each one is extremely precious. Any one left behind or sacrificed is due to the dereliction of duty of us cadres."

The brevity of these words is still the same sentence 'Leave the best to comrades who need it more'!

Seeing that Liu Bing's tone was a bit sad, Zhang Qingshan guessed in his heart that Liu Bing must have thought of those comrades who died, so he was a little sad.Take the initiative to change the topic immediately.

"Old Liu, then I'm a little surprised: Comrades are making such a fuss, how did Xiaofang do it? To keep these people."

"Xiaofang's temperament is really unyielding! She only said one sentence..." At this point, Liu Bing remembered something interesting, hey, and said with a smile: "She said, 'I am the biggest here! Who Dare to be disobedient, I cut his pants to see how he ran away with his bare butt.', once everyone heard this, and then asked about her aggressive style, no one dared to speak again."

Zhang Qingshan shook his head and smiled wryly for a while, but in this place and within this time period, as long as the wounded and sick can accept the treatment of the wounded and sick with peace of mind, everything else can be let go first.

In the next day's journey, apart from gathering two small teams of stragglers, a comrade accidentally fell into a puddle halfway and was rescued by everyone, but he caught a cold, and nothing happened.

When we arrived at the camp, we accidentally found a very large slope, enough to accommodate everyone to rest in peace.

When lighting the fire, everyone specially followed Zhang Qingshan's instructions in advance, and bundled the grass leaves harvested along the way into bundles with a diameter of about ten centimeters, and then piled them up by the fire to bake... At this time , everyone found a surprise: the roasted half-dried grass leaves, whether they are used as mattresses or quilts, are warm, and they will not be cold for a long time, which is an excellent way to resist the wind and cold. things.

The only regret is that because of the small amount of firewood, everyone is reluctant to use firewood to roast grass leaves. Therefore, only about [-] bales of grass leaves are roasted, which cannot meet the needs of most people.In the end, everyone unanimously decided to give the baked weeds to the wounded.For this reason, people on both sides refused each other for a long time, and it was Zhang Qingshan who forced the wounded and sick to accept it while being moved, and the matter came to an end.

However, it is much better to put unroasted weed bales under you than to lie on the ground.

This has increased everyone's enthusiasm for the demand for weeds, and it is destined that everyone will consciously collect as much weeds as possible along the way the next day, and specifically pick up the long and big grass leaves.Even, some people couldn’t wait to enjoy the taste of weed mats. They used bayonets to harvest weeds in the dark, and they didn’t care about anything else. The weeds are very dangerous, so they forcibly ordered not to go again, and the matter was considered to be temporarily over.

Early the next morning, everyone continued to set off.Some people are reluctant to throw away the weeds that were crushed soft by themselves last night, pack them up again, and take them on the road.

In the afternoon, we encountered another team of about ten stragglers.

In the evening, everyone lost the luck of yesterday, let alone a large area of ​​soil slope, even a piece of dry soil slope was not found, so they had no choice but to rest in a place where the water and grass were relatively luxuriant.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find something to be happy about: the weeds harvested yesterday, after a night of sleep last night, now, these weeds are far more withered than the weeds harvested along the way, even, as long as After a little roasting with a fire, these weeds become dry much faster than those that have not been pressed overnight.

This discovery surprised and delighted everyone, and quickly spread among the people, and everyone followed suit.

Now, everyone's meals can only be called vegetables. They are all wild vegetables mixed with boiling water, and nothing is added except salt.The only thing that the meals of the wounded and sick are better than theirs is that they put some lard or butter.

Zhang Qingshan and the others have long been used to the wild vegetables. However, they can see one thing from them: they hold bowls, communicate with comrades while eating, and often try to cheer them up as naturally as possible, and even Deliberately set an example and ask everyone to eat as much as possible, because only by eating more can you be more hungry, have more strength to go on the road, go out of the grass, and welcome the victory... thus showing the Red Army cadres' unity of officers and soldiers, equality of officers and soldiers Military style military appearance and personal good quality.

After dinner, the troops rested early.

Zhang Qingshan was the same as before, after checking the campsite, he went to the direction of fishing...
