march to victory

The comrades above are really more and more anxious the longer they wait, and the more they wait, the stronger the bad feeling, especially seeing that Zhang Qingshan has been by the side of the three comrades for so long, not only silent, but also unable to save people, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Comrades are getting more and more worried.

"Pull me up!"

These four words, like a thunderbolt, struck the hearts of everyone who heard these words, and all of them changed their colors immediately, and there was no sound, making the already gloomy atmosphere instantly colder than ice.

This atmosphere lasted until Zhang Qingshan was pulled up. One comrade couldn't bear the sadness in his heart and couldn't wait to ask: "Company commander, why don't you bring the three comrades... bring their bodies up?"

Zhang Qingshan was filled with grief and indignation, when he heard this, he immediately glared at the soldier fiercely.When he got up, he untied the rope, and seeing everyone looking over, he asked with a straight face, "What are you looking at? Why don't you do anything, and bury the bodies of these three with snow?"

Everyone was shocked, and the one who asked the question couldn't help but exclaimed: "Company commander, just bury the three of them here?"

"Then where else do you want to bury?" Zhang Qingshan casually pointed to the top of the mountain, and said, "Do you want everyone to fish out the bodies of these three comrades, carry them to the mountain, and then erect a monument, so as to be worthy of the three of them. Right?"

Although the comrades really thought so in their hearts, and they were really angry after hearing Zhang Qingshan's 'ironical words', but Zhang Qingshan's prestige was still very high, even if everyone had grievances, they didn't dare to express it.

Seeing this situation, Hu Yingze gently pulled Zhang Qingshan, and whispered in his ear: "Old Zhang, pay attention to the way you speak, so as not to hurt the hearts of comrades."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingshan became even more angry.

Waving his arms, he shouted angrily, "Did you break their hearts? Damn, I'm still sad."

"Do you think you are the only ones who feel heartache, and that I have a fucking heart of stone?" Pointing the crowd with his right index finger, he roared, "Don't forget, the assault company was built by me alone, and every one of you I personally selected them one by one..."

As he was talking, Zhang Qingshan paused, grabbed a handful of snow, squeezed it tightly, and shouted in a choked tone: "We have been together for so long, don't you know who I am? If there is a way, you Do you think I just want to bury the bodies of these three comrades-in-arms in such a hasty way? Do you think I don’t want to bury them in a grand manner? But do we have the conditions now? I really can’t help it!”

The last sentence was almost immediately roared out from his whole body.

After shouting, he sat down on the ground.Hu Yingze hurried to help, but he waved him away, got up, lowered his head, and left.

"Old Zhang! Old Zhang!" Hu Yingze called out twice, seeing that Zhang Qingshan didn't respond, he had to give up.Turning around and seeing the comrades bowed their heads, with different expressions, and some even glanced at them secretly, Hu Yingze sighed and said: "Comrades, like everyone else, I feel heartbroken for the loss of these three comrades, and I am sorry for how to deal with this situation like this." The corpses of the three comrades are also angry, but everyone has to consider the reality..."

In fact, when Zhang Qingshan closed his eyes on that comrade's body, he had already made up his mind on this issue: due to altitude sickness, fatigue from long-term marching, lack of nutrition, etc. It can support it, and the sacrifice rate is very low, but don't forget, this is only a half-snow mountain, and there are three more half-snow mountains waiting for you to conquer... Just talking about the matter in front of you, let's take the three Comrade's body was fished up, then carried to the top of the mountain, and then, in the icy cold wind, a large pit was dug on the icy ground, and then buried.After such a series, let alone more than half a day, it is absolutely impossible to complete it-just on the icy ground, it will take several hours to dig a big hole enough to bury three people.Just talking about physical strength, the people who don't have much physical strength will definitely not be able to bear it.Even if we manage to finish it, we will be exhausted and exhausted, and there is no place to rest. How can we go down the mountain?What's the next way?Someone will definitely freeze to death here. If so, wouldn't it be necessary to continue the burial?

This is no nonsense: when the Central Red Army crossed the Dianda Snow Mountain, two comrades died.At that time, everyone had no experience. In the spirit of unity among comrades-in-arms, they felt that the remains of these two comrades-in-arms must be buried properly, and then a squad was sent to carry out this task.As a result, it took a full five hours to dig a small pit and bury the remains of the two comrades-in-arms.But when I turned around, a comrade sat on the ground exhausted, just holding the shovel, closing his eyes, and sacrificed.Next, a comrade walked out about 200 meters and fell headlong into the snow. The two people next to him tried to pull them, but they were swept into the snow together and died.When we were about to reach the top of the mountain, someone was so tired that he wanted to sit down again. The comrades next to him got experience and hurried to pull it, but everyone was exhausted, and with altitude sickness, they had no strength at all.The two couldn't walk, so the comrades next to them went up to help. In the end, the eleven comrades in this class died on the Zhongdian Snow Mountain before they even reached the top of the mountain.

Therefore, based on the experience gained by the Central Red Army from crossing the snow-capped mountains, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps knew that they were sorry for those sacrificed comrades, but in order to allow more comrades in arms to have the physical strength to go on and live to victory, they will climb over the snow-capped mountains. Before the Snow Mountain, all the divisions convened all the cadres at the company level and above for a meeting, just to give detailed explanations on such matters.

Although everyone explained it to the comrades below after they went back, it is one thing to explain it, but it is another thing when it is really necessary to face it.

"...I didn't see your company commander fighting to go on, but you left crying. You have been with the company commander for so long, when did you see him cry? There is an old saying that men don't cry easily! If it weren't for him, he would be really sad , Will you cry in front of everyone? So, everyone has to understand that it is not all of us who are cruel, but for the sake of victory, it is inevitable that we must make some sacrifices... Besides, I believe that these three sacrificed comrades are in heaven I have spirits, and I don't want everyone to bury their bodies and cause more casualties... To be honest, if I died on the Long March that day, I hope everyone will not focus on my funeral. It’s better to use it on the next Long March. Of course, here, I want all of you to remember: Even if there is only one person left in our assault company, even if you have left the assault company, once the revolution wins, you have to give it to me. Come back, erect a monument here, engrave the names of the sacrificed comrades, so that future generations will always remember our sacrifices and how hard-won victory is..."

Otherwise, this kind of ideological work is not something anyone can do.Everyone was convinced by Hu Yingze's soft and hard words, and they also clearly realized the cruelty of reality.

"Okay, everyone, don't be sad, cheer up, in order to build a monument for all the comrades who sacrificed here in the future, everyone must give full play to the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance of our Red Army, and the belief of our assault company to move forward bravely Carry the revolution through to the end." Having said this, the comrades raised their heads one after another, and their morale recovered.Hu Yingze turned around and stood up straight against the ice crevasse, shouting: "Everyone is there, stand at attention! Turn left and right."

The soldiers in the third row quickly stood up straight, each facing the ice crevasse with solemn expressions.

"Take off your hat! Salute to the bodies of the three comrades who died!"

Everyone took off their military caps and saluted uniformly.

Immediately, Hu Yingze bent down and picked up a handful of snow, and yelled as he sprinkled it on the ice crevice: "Three comrades, you can go on the road with peace of mind. We will definitely inherit your unfinished business and vow to carry the revolution to the end!"

"Swear to carry the revolution to the end!" The comrades held up the snow one after another, and sprinkled the snow on the bodies of the three comrades while shouting.

The weather here is really weird, the sky was full of hail just now, but in just a short while, the sky was clear again.

Zhang Qingshan checked it again, and saw that the most serious one was just a few bags smashed by the hail, and he was not as bad as the bruised nose and swollen face he imagined, so he was relieved.Came to the side, squatted on the ground, took out a pack of cigarettes, looked at it, and put it back.But he took out another pack from his underwear pocket, took out one, lit it, and smoked silently—this pack of cigarettes was rewarded to him by Army Commander He Long back then, and he cherished it very much, and only when he reached a critical point, would he Take one.

Seeing Hu Yingze leading three rows of soldiers to sprinkle snow into the ice crevasse, his eyes were very complicated.

And Peng Peng, who was squatting beside him, also looked there silently, speechless for a long time.

Perhaps, only the wisps of green smoke rising from their hands are telling the sky their inner grief and helplessness!

After a long time, Zhang Qingshan sighed, and muttered to himself as if comforting himself: "As long as all the poor people in the world can have enough food, even if I lose this life, what is it?"

These words happened to be the answer given by Huang Debao, the old squad leader who had died when he joined the party, asking him why he wanted to join the party.

"What did you say?"

"I'm thinking about what to do next."

"If you have anything to think about, it's all like this anyway, let the boat go straight to the bridge! As long as you can still go, you must go to northern Shaanxi and carry the revolution to the end."

Zhang Qingshan nodded and didn't answer any more.

Lao Hu led three rows of comrades to bury the remains of his comrades-in-arms, and used wooden sticks to make a few large crosses beside the ice seam to remind the troops behind.

When he came to Zhang Qingshan, Zhang Qingshan stood up and looked at him. After looking at him for more than a second, Zhang Qingshan nodded to Hu Yingze, and Hu Yingze also nodded slightly—although he was silent, but everything was in the silence!

"Comrades, the road ahead will be more difficult and more and more difficulties will be encountered. Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Okay! As expected of a member of our assault company. Let's go!"

Zhang Qingshan suddenly raised his right arm and shouted: "Assault Company!"

Everyone shouted back together: "Go forward bravely!"

The sound shook the sky, as if it wanted to break the sky that was starting to darken again, and continued to move forward like a rainbow, as if victory was in sight.

Although everyone understands that they will face even worse situations, no one shrinks back, because they all have a belief in their hearts, a belief in victory that vows to fight the world for the poor and poor.With this belief in their hearts, they are confident!They unite!They are brave!They - invincible!
