march to victory

On February 2, Army Commander Xiao Ke organized Red Army commanders and fighters to hold a farewell ceremony for Wu Zhengqing and other Red Army soldiers who died.

Due to time constraints, we had to transfer as soon as possible, so the farewell ceremony was brief.

At the farewell ceremony, Zhang Qingshan originally wanted to express his condolences to Master Wu Zhengqing on behalf of the soldiers, but Zhang Qingshan not only firmly refused, but also very domineeringly refused to allow anyone from the assault company to speak.Because he felt very sorry for Master Wu Zhengqing: Master Wu Zhengqing was so kind to himself and to the soldiers, but he couldn't even kill his enemies and avenge him, so what face did he have to face the teacher?

After the farewell ceremony, the remains of the sacrificed comrades were buried on the mountainside below Gaoyan Temple.

After the person in charge of the burial left, Zhang Qingshan and the main leaders of several assault companies came out of the forest and brought incense paper candles to see off the soldiers.

This battle was the one with the heaviest casualties since the establishment of the assault company: sixteen soldiers died, including a platoon deputy platoon leader, Comrade Liang Jingwu; more than 30 people were slightly injured and nine were seriously injured—two of these nine people were rescued The remaining seven people, because they were unable to march long distances, had to pay a certain amount of subsidies and stay in the homes of the local people. They could only catch up with the troops after they recovered from their injuries.

Let me explain: The special nature of the assault company determines that his troop replenishment is quite different from other ordinary troops, and it can even be said to be one level above them.If other arms are directly incorporated into the army from recruits during the march, and veterans lead them to fight a few battles, they will all become veterans.If you go back to the base area, you will also select those recruits who have already been trained from the boot camp.In addition, in rare cases, the number of the crippled unit was canceled and incorporated into other divisions or regiments, or two crippled units were temporarily formed into a unit.Definitely not picking from other veterans.But the situation of the assault company broke this routine. In Zhang Qingshan's words, "everyone in the assault company is a hero. If they have no skills, they are also called heroes? Go away and play." Their team members have also truly challenged thousands of miles. First, the vast majority of those who can join are directly selected from other troops. Although they are basically assassins, most of them are veterans.There are also a very small number of special students among the newcomers, who are favored and specially approved to join the assault company.For example, Er Lianzi, his specialty is that his shooting skills are absolutely top-notch.For example, Luo Chang, his long-distance running endurance is very unmatched... and the assault company is the pioneer of the Long March, so they never need to worry about the replenishment of soldiers, and they can even have an excess to a certain extent-see Yes, just make a report and get people to come.

After burning the paper money for the sacrificed comrades, everyone sat on the ground, Zhang Qingshan took a pack of dragon flowers from Zhou Baoyu and handed them to them, but he took out a pack of old Sicheng, took out one, lit it, and smoked it.

Tian Guozhong had only recently joined the assault company. He didn't know the origin of this Bao Lao Sicheng, so he felt very strange: Could it be that this iron rooster was over-stimulated, and even his temper changed 180 degrees.Is Lao Sicheng comparable to Long Huahua?But he just gave everyone a pack, but he smoked Lao Sicheng himself.But the strange thing is that the few people around were not surprised by this, and didn't even ask, what happened here?

"Old Peng, does the company commander pay attention to the old Sicheng?" Seeing Peng Peng looking over, Tian Guozhong said with a smile: "Why doesn't he smoke the dragon flower, but the old Sicheng instead?"

"Commander He personally gave it to him, and he specifically asked him to do a good job." Peng Peng smiled and explained in a low voice: "He may be stingy in other respects, but if you stalk you, you will always get something, but this A pack of Lao Sicheng, you don’t even think about getting a sip, it’s useless to ask for death... In fact, he is also reluctant to smoke on weekdays, and only when he encounters serious problems, he will smoke one and a half.”

In fact, the significance of this pack of cigarettes is far greater than its actual effect. Zhang Qingshan also smoked a few cigarettes: he smoked one when he was locked up for the first time, and he also smoked one when he was rolled up for the first time. Especially in the Wanxian incident, he smoked one beforehand when he wondered what to do, and he also smoked one afterwards...

"Several, I want to ask you a question, I hope you can tell me the truth." Seeing everyone looking over, Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "What do you think of me as a company commander?"

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhang Qingshan said to himself: "Why do I feel that I am really not qualified to be the company commander of the assault company... Yesterday the division commander (after the death of the division commander Wu Zhengqing, Liu Zhuan, the former commander of the 49th regiment, connected As the commander of the [-]th Division. But because everyone is already familiar with the name Liu Yongjiang, so the name Liu Yongjiang will be used later) to talk to me and encourage me to continue to lead the assault company and be a pioneer in the Long March. But I heard I am really ashamed, my face is red and my ears are red, I wish I could find a hole to get in. But I have never felt this way before, I just feel that the position of commander of the assault company should belong to me, Zhang Qingshan, and no one will be convinced... You guys Say, why do I suddenly have such thoughts?"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "I am very surprised, why do I have such thoughts?"

From an ideological point of view, this is a transformation towards maturity. As long as he can pass this level, he will make a big leap in thinking.Either you are stuck here, you may not be able to figure it out for a lifetime, or you may figure it out instantly under some kind of stimulation.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know how to answer, but seeing Zhang Qingshan's serious appearance, if he didn't answer why, he definitely didn't play today, so everyone had to make jokes and fool around.

"Well! No fever."

Zhang Qingshan slapped away Hu Yingze's hand touching his forehead, and glared at him.Peng Peng on the side also smiled and pinched Zhang Qingshan's trousers, and said with a smile, "I was not bitten by a mad dog."

It made everyone laugh.

Wang Wu on the side smiled, but suddenly slapped his thigh, then looked left and right like a thief, and said in a low voice: "Company commander, you must not be possessed by evil spirits, right? I heard that the easiest place to... ..."

"Get out!" Zhang Qingshan scolded with an angry smile: "Don't say that we communists don't believe in evil or not, even if there are, but the people lying here are all comrades-in-arms, how could they harm their comrades?"

Wang Wu was about to continue joking, but Tian Guozhong on the side said seriously: "Company Commander, I have some experience, I don't know..."

Zhang Qingshan looked at him with great interest, and let Wang Wu go: "Say it! Say it quickly."

"The company commander is righteous and a first-class hero..."

These words caused everyone around to roll their eyes: You guy, you are usually a good person, and you speak smoothly, but I didn't expect you to flatter the company commander so bluntly, and you still made it public in front of our faces. It was taken, does this still need face?Even Zhang Qingshan laughed out loud when he heard this, with a rare embarrassment on his face.

But Tian Guozhong's next words made them look a bit pensive.

"Mr. Wu, whether it's the company commander, everyone here, or our assault company, takes care of us in every possible way. We all remember this great kindness. But Mr. Wu sacrificed in front of the company commander. The commander did not kill the enemy for Master Wu on the spot, and felt sorry for Master Wu, which made the company commander feel that he is not qualified to be the commander of the assault company. Company commander, am I right?"

Zhang Qingshan pondered for a while, nodded, and said seriously: "There is some truth."

"But let me tell you, company commander, you don't need it at all."

Seeing Zhang Qingshan glaring at him, Tian Guozhong said with a smile: "Company Commander, there were hundreds of enemies at the time, but we didn't know who did it. Company Commander, to be honest, if there were one or two, I believe everyone would understand. Even if you are trying to get punished, we can hide it for you, but think about it, there are hundreds of enemies, do you really want to kill them all? Don't dare to hide this kind of thing, just I can't hide it even if I want to. What's more, I think Mr. Wu, as a person, absolutely doesn't want you to do this. Last time you did this, although you killed those beasts, Mr. Wu also lost a lot of anger... …Therefore, you don’t need to blame yourself. Instead, you should work hard as Master Wu hoped, and lead the assault well, make more contributions to the Long March, and exchange for the entire Red Second and Sixth Army Corps at the smallest price. A bigger victory. I think this is what Mr. Wu wants to see, otherwise, he would not have said the words 'I am optimistic about you, I hope you will do well' before he died."

After Zhang Qingshan thought about it for a long time, he patted his thigh, then patted Hu Yingze's shoulder, pointed at Tian Guozhong and smiled at Hu Yingze: "Old Hu, after your promotion, our assault company has no shortage of instructors."

Unexpectedly, Tian Guozhong was not half happy, instead he sighed and said, "Actually, I really don't want to see this kind of endless civil war, because both sides fight to the death, no matter the winner or loser, the loss will only be It is our Chinese national defense force. But Lao Jiang insisted on forcing us to fight, and he had to fight... Sigh~! Comrades, to tell you the truth, I dream of fighting the Japanese devils.”

Facing this cruel reality, everyone is silent!

"What do you think about so much? Now we are on the Long March, and everything will be discussed after the Long March." Finally, Hu Yingze said with a smile: "It's almost time, it's time to start. Everyone get up and say goodbye to your comrades."

How many people stand in a row!

"Comrades! Comrades! Rest in peace here! Don't worry, we will inherit your unfulfilled wishes and carry the revolution to the end..."

"Teacher, don't worry, when the revolution wins, I will definitely come to have a drink with you with wine and meat."

"Comrades! Stand at attention! Salute to the comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives for the revolution!"

stand at attention!salute!bid farewell!Continue the long march.

After the Red Army captured Dagu Xinchang, they blocked the direct meeting between Hao Mengling and Wan Yaohuang, forcing Wan Yaohuang's troops to retreat.Seeing that the strategic goal had been achieved, the Red Army was looking for a fighter opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. However, on February 2, Wan Yaohuang's troops occupied Dading after occupying Qianxi, and invaded Bijie.

The 19th Division led by Xiao Ke, the commander of the Red Sixth Army Corps, quickly evacuated from Daguxinchang (Jinsha) to Dading Liulongchang, and according to the command, it marched from Liulongchang to Jiangjun Mountain on the 53th, and the general who arrived earlier The [-]rd Regiment of the [-]th Division of Shanshan joined together to launch a series of struggles against "encirclement and suppression".

When fighting with Wan Yaohuang's troops of the 25th Army of the Kuomintang Central Army, it is inevitable to encounter old opponents-the sharp knife battalion formed by Lao Jiang himself.
