march to victory

After pondering for a while, he said with a smile: "Old Wang, what are you thinking, I can't eat enough of your cooking, how can I leave you behind."

Seeing Lao Wang's expression relaxed a little, Zhang Qingshan quickly said: "However, Lao Wang, your altitude sickness is indeed a bit serious, and you also know that it is really difficult to climb over the snow-capped mountains with your own strength, so, I I decided to send you a few comrades to help you walk there... I believe that with your old Wang's ability, as long as you walk out of the snow-capped mountains, you will be a good man again. Right?"

In fact, Lao Wang also understands his own situation, but he is reluctant to leave, and it is also because of his strong character that he will not leave the Red Army team even if he dies—otherwise, he is already considered disabled, but that’s it, he would rather be a cook than Leaving, it can be seen that his will is strong.

Hearing that this method not only took care of his face, but also kept him from leaving the team, he nodded immediately: "Yes! Yes! Yes! This is the best. I just don't get used to the altitude sickness for a while. When I get used to it, I will Still a good man."

Everyone who said it laughed.

Perhaps it was this kind of smile that made Pharaoh feel a little embarrassed. It happened that his nephew was at his feet. He immediately kicked him over and scolded angrily: "You are still an instructor. This ideological work is not half as good as the company commander. Do you have a smile too?"

You are also ashamed to say, I do your ideological work, you talk to me about the order of seniority; I talk to you about personal relationships, you tell me about military seniority; I talk about political thought... How do you ask me to do your ideological work?Hu Yingze pursed her lips depressedly, thinking very tangled.

The laughter grew louder.

Afterwards, Zhang Qingshan specially arranged for two soldiers to take care of Lao Wang.

After finishing this work, looking around, the comrades in the assault company were all pretty good, Zhang Qingshan let out a long breath.Hu Yingze at the side handed over a cigarette, and Zhang Qingshan stared straight at the moment he took the cigarette—isn't this my cigarette?

"Look what, I snatched this from the head of the regiment, and it has nothing to do with you..." Taking advantage of this rare free time, the two smoked and started chatting: "By the way, Landlord Zhang, I am very curious, what is it that made you so willing to be blackmailed by the leader?"

"Call me Landlord Zhang again, I'll lose my face!"

"Good! Good! Don't call, rich man Zhang."

"roll!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, come, talk about it."

As soon as Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, he found that Hu Yingze was staring at him with very strange eyes, and he was a little embarrassed to ask: "What's wrong?"

Hu Yingze didn't answer, but put one hand on his forehead and the other on Zhang Qingshan's forehead, muttering: "No fever? Impossible..."

Zhang Qingshan waved Hu Yingze's hand away, and asked: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious. With your shamelessness, how could you fall into such a low-level trick?"

"Why is this question so low-level?"

"Of course it's low-level." As he said, Hu Yingze stood up, stretched his waist, and said: "You have to know his method, go to the 49th regiment to see if everything will be cleared, there is no need to be stupid Give him some cigarettes."

"It makes sense!" Zhang Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized that he slapped his thigh fiercely, shouted angrily, and walked quickly up the mountain.

Tian Jingshan said that it was reckless for Zhang Qingshan to open the way to shovel snow with the assault company before. : Zhang Qingshan and others shovel the snow to the side of the road, leaving a hard surface, which is not only slippery, but also tiring enough.But Tian Jingshan and the others are just the opposite. They just step down the snow on the surface and turn it into steps. In this way, the ground becomes hard, and the steps become relatively non-slip and easy to walk on. More importantly, This method saves a lot of energy and time compared to the previous assault company - at most they use a shovel to knock out a few messy lines of unevenness on the steps, so that it is even less likely to slip.

Look at it, step on it again, Hu Yingze was amazed at the wisdom of the leader, and Zhang Qingshan had to give a thumbs up to Tian Jingshan who was beside him with a proud face.

"I said, Lao Tian, ​​what are you so proud of? You didn't come up with such a good idea." Deputy head Xiang just stood up to the side, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but found that his pocket was empty, and Tian Jingshan happened to be standing beside him , I suddenly remembered the hateful result of a certain iron cock who deceived me before going up the mountain, and cheated my last pack of cigarettes, and immediately upset someone: "Xiao Zhang, come, give me a cigarette, I will Let me tell you who did it."

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan snatched half a pack of cigarettes out of Hu Yingze's pocket without saying a word and handed them over, he smiled satisfiedly at the deputy head of the regiment, took out the cigarette for a while, lit it, took a deep breath happily, and smiled at Zhang Qingshan: "This is the division headquarters, no! To be precise, it is the idea that the headquarters came up with. Because after the idea you proposed was learned by the headquarters, some people thought that it could go further, so they asked someone to discuss it, and finally came up with this It’s a good idea. That’s why our regiment hastily caught up.”

Facing Zhang Qingshan's contemptuous gaze, Tian Jingshan immediately shifted his anger: "I said Lao Xiang, after all, he belongs to a group, why did you tear me down like this?"

"Hmph! Who told you to use this method to cheat me out of my last pack of cigarettes before going up the mountain?"

Zhang Qingshan on the side immediately yelled: "Commander, didn't you say you didn't have any cigarettes on you?"

"This... this..." Tiandi Conscience, Iron Rooster smiled awkwardly for the first time, and was speechless for a while.However, an iron rooster is an iron rooster, and he suddenly pointed in front of him, and yelled as he rushed over, "Oh! How can you waste your energy and step on it so wide..."

The rest of the people looked at each other, and smiled helplessly: Who made us stand up as the leader of this iron cock?

Because of the great importance attached to the Zhongdian Snow Mountain and the effectiveness of snow shoveling, no matter whether it was the Assault Company or the 49th Regiment, no one was sacrificed when crossing this snow mountain, which can be described as a huge victory.In particular, some comrades found that no matter how slippery the ice ladder is, as long as a thin layer of snow is sprinkled on it, it will not slip again within 10 minutes. safety.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the assault company and the 49th regiment did not sacrifice a single person.

but!Please don't forget that the Assault Company is carefully selected by the entire Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, and their physical fitness can be said to be the best in each - except Lao Wang.The 49th Regiment is also one of the three most important main regiments in the Second and Sixth Red Army Regiments. Most of its members are strong young men, and even the elderly are in their thirties.Even wounded soldiers will be sent to division headquarters or headquarters hospitals in order not to affect their combat effectiveness.

Such a regiment, even if some individuals have altitude sickness, but with the help and encouragement of other comrades, they will not be left behind.But how many '49 regiments' are there in Red II and VI?

Take the twelfth regiment of the fourth division as an example.Although the main battles along the way were basically led by the [-]th Division, other divisions basically did not participate in the battle on a large scale, and the regiment was the same. Although there were no major losses along the way, in Xiangxi, the regiment fought In several tough battles, especially in the Battle of Zhongbao, in order to complete the task of destroying the main force of the enemy, the regiment desperately blocked the gap. Although the task was completed gloriously in the end, the regiment also suffered two-thirds of casualties.Therefore, most of the soldiers in the regiment are recruits.

To put it bluntly, they were not treated as well as the assault company. At least, their lightly wounded soldiers marched and fought with the troops.What is even more tangled is that among the veterans of the regiment, a small number of them are over 30 years old, and basically they all have old injuries of one kind or another.Not to mention anything else, just relying on their combat experience, which is a treasure in war, but now facing the harsh environment of nature, their bodies and old injuries have become the biggest trouble, especially While marching, we have to face the two biggest difficulties: severe cold and altitude sickness.

Therefore, sacrifice is inevitable, and it comes extremely suddenly, extremely tragic, and even more touching!

……

An old Red Army who had participated in the Long March and happened to be the twelfth regiment said to me personally: "My son, don't believe what you see in the movie. It's nonsense to sacrifice alone. Let me tell you, when climbing the snow-capped mountains, it's just me What I have experienced and seen, none of them was sacrificed alone, and they all fell down in pieces..." Seeing the sadness in the old man's cloudy eyes, I remained silent for a long time...

The following two stories are based on his memories - but due to the needs of the story, the name and group name have been changed, please forgive me.

……

He Bing is from Guizhou. He is 33 years old this year. Although he is thin and thin, he is brave in battle and has a tough style. He is now the squad leader of the second battalion, third company, third platoon, and first squad of the 51st regiment.

In the last battle, my thigh was pierced by a bullet during the charge, and I bled profusely. Although I had rested for more than 20 days, I missed the best period of rest and recovery because I didn’t get any rest at the beginning of the injury. Now, his right thigh is still aching from time to time.This is not a serious problem in normal times, at most it is a good recuperation, but now it is climbing a snow mountain.His body was bleeding too much, and he hadn't been properly cultivated. Instead, he kept marching in a hurry, which made his already thin body even weaker. However, the most feared thing about this kind of physical fitness is altitude sickness.

Before climbing the snow-capped mountain, everyone considered the actual situation and advised him to stay, but like all soldiers, he would rather die than leave the army.Helpless, the leader had no choice but to ask the platoon leader to 'take care' of him along the way.

He gritted his teeth and climbed to the top of the Zhongdian Daxue Mountain—the route of the troops could not really climb over the snow mountain, but they went around the top of the snow mountain and went down from the other side when they were about 250 meters away from the top of the snow mountain.

With the experience of the Central Red Army climbing snow-capped mountains, the troops have long made a rule that they are not allowed to sit down along the way, especially when they reach the top of the mountain.

But his altitude sickness was too great, and when he was about to reach the top of the snow mountain, he was close to collapse, and he climbed here almost entirely by relying on firewood sticks and the two soldiers beside him.

However, when he saw that he had reached the top of the mountain, his tense nerves along the way, or his belief that he must win, could finally relax a little.With this slack, the mental head immediately went away like a torrent of water, and the exhaustion immediately rolled in...
