march to victory

"Brother, I saw very clearly just now that he was killed early tomorrow, but why do you still insist on me giving him another shot before going over to check? Isn't that a waste of bullets?"

The two were riding on horses, because each horse had three or four guns attached to them, so they didn't dare to let the horses run wild, so they could only drive forward at a relatively fast speed.

"Baoyu, you have to remember that the world is dangerous, and you must be on guard against everything! Moreover, the eyes sometimes deceive themselves, and what they see may not be right. Therefore, the only way to shoot the other party is to truly confirm the other party's death. Only then will you be safe."

"Oh~!"

Seeing Zhou Baoyu's unconvinced response, for the sake of Zhou Baoyu's future, Zhang Qingshan had to give him an example: "Baoyu, you must remember what your elder brother said: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case! Just take the example just now, It seems that you did hit him, and, as you can see clearly, you hit him on the neck, and even blood flowed out. Ordinarily, this man will definitely die. But the question is, when will he die? Do you die immediately or do you have to wait for his blood to dry up? If he just started to bleed and the hand holding the gun still has some strength, as soon as you approach, he only needs to pull the trigger for you. Wouldn’t it be wrong for you to die? ?So, at this time, you must not be benevolent or careless, and you must give him a shot first to ensure your own safety."

Zhou Baoyu thought for a while, nodded, and said seriously to Zhang Qingshan: "Brother, you are right, I will remember it."

"Just remember, okay, Lao Sun and the others must be waiting impatiently. Take the gun belts in your hands, and let's speed up."

Soon, the two joined the crowd.Everyone was very happy to see the two returned safely, especially when they saw the two horses. It was the same as when we treated Lao Tian... In this way, as before, everyone was relieved and relaxed. Whether it is the speed of the journey or the spirit, it is definitely much better.

Taking advantage of the short time when everyone twisted the straps into ropes and tied one end of the stretcher to the saddle, Zhang Qingshan gave a brief account of the process of ambushing the two horse bandit spies, and then said that he got the food from the other party. Judging the opponent's main force is not far from here.

"Old Sun, Old Zhou, my opinion is that we must rush to that mountain today." Zhang Qingshan pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said, "Only when we get there can we rely on our geographical advantages and not only let the enemy's cavalry The advantages cannot be brought into play, and they can still attack the enemy fiercely from a high position. What do you think?"

After Sun Zhiping raised his neck vigorously to look at them, he nodded to them and said, "That's right, I agree."

Lao Zhou glanced at Sun Zhiping, frowned slightly, and nodded to Zhang Qingshan.Seeing his hesitant attitude, Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, but now is not the time to argue, and he must leave here immediately anyway: "Well, let's speed up and try to catch up before dark." get there."

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is a bit shocking.

Just after walking less than 50 meters, when Zhang Qingshan intentionally pulled Zhou Ping to the back of the team, and wanted to ask him what the meaning of his hesitant attitude just now was, the person walking at the front suddenly stopped the team. , before Zhang Qingshan could ask a question, Zhou Baoyu came to report: "Brother, Lao Zhou, both of you go and have a look, the old grandson is bleeding again."

The two were shocked, Zhang Qingshan ran and asked Zhou Baoyu: "What's going on?"

"It looks flat here, but in fact there are small potholes everywhere, but they are covered by weeds. The stretcher was dragged over it, and the bumps were severe. How could his wound bear it? It would be strange if he didn't bleed."

When he came to Sun Zhiping, he saw that Zhou Baoyu's complexion was already gray, and he looked very frightening.The wound on his right thigh is better, but the problem is that the wound on his shoulder that was pierced by a bullet is troublesome. The blood has already stained the outer gauze...the ground is full of holes, and the upper body is tied behind the horse. , Therefore, the most serious bumps were his upper body.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhou, the situation is urgent! You must leave here immediately. Don't worry about me, I can hold on."

"Old Zhou, you should treat Lao Sun's wound first." Zhang Qingshan nodded, but did not answer the words. After giving Zhou Ping a word, he got up and looked around.After pondering for a while, he suddenly pointed to the loaded horse and said, "Hurry up and unload the load on this horse. Then, raise the stretcher and tie the two ends of the stretcher to the saddles of the two horses." Then, divide the unloaded loads equally between the two horses... What are you still staring at? Work quickly!"

As we talked, we did it ourselves.

After everything was done as he said, Zhang Qingshan sent two soldiers to lead the horses in front, and told them to keep the distance between the two horses as much as possible, otherwise, once the two horses get in the way If the distance is too large, if the stretcher falls to the ground, Lao Sun will probably be thrown to death.

Everyone understands that if Zhang Qingshan does this, if an accident happens, he will be held accountable—it is a serious crime to take the initiative to put his comrades in danger of life and death.But now, apart from this method not affecting the progress, and relatively maintaining some physical strength and combat effectiveness, is there any other method?Therefore, everyone looked at Zhang Qingshan with some admiration, and after the team set off again, Zhou Ping took the initiative to pull Zhang Qingshan behind the team.

"Old Zhang, later I will tell my comrades one by one. If anyone asks about this in the future, you can say that I forced you to do this."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ping not only mentioned this matter first, but also took the initiative to bear the possible responsibilities. Zhang Qingshan hesitated, then waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, don't mention this matter to me, although I, Zhang Qingshan, have no skills , but at any rate he is a spitting and nailing man, he will never ask his comrades to take the blame for what he did..."

"No! No! Old Zhou, you misunderstood me. Listen to me..." Seeing Zhang Qingshan's voice getting louder and louder, causing comrades more than ten meters away to look back, he hurriedly stopped Zhang Qingshan, and his pace Slowed down a bit, and his tone became even lower: "I was originally a handyman in the team. When I crossed the snow mountain this time, I lost three of my toes. So, even if I walk out of the grass and return to the main team, there is probably a tenth chance. Eight or nine still have to continue to do odd jobs, so once this happens, you just push it on me, and they can't do anything about me. But you are different, you are already the commander of the assault company, I know, according to the rank, you Once you are released now, you must be at least a battalion-level cadre. You are still so young, and there are still many opportunities and futures waiting for you in the future. You can't just..."

"Stop! Old Zhou, aren't you underestimating people? I won't say anything else, just one sentence: If we continue, you and I will no longer be our comrades." At that time, you would say "You and I We will not be friends from now on." It's nothing, the big deal is that we will never communicate with each other in private.But if you want to say "you and I will not be our comrades from now on", this problem is serious. It is not only a problem of breaking up friends, but also a big problem of political outlook, and even political orientation. If it is not done well, it will be shot .Of course, no one has investigated the situation they are in now, but after all, they are going to get out of the grass and return to the main force.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over angrily, and saying such righteous words, Zhou Ping opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.In the end, he slapped his thigh, pointed at Zhang Qingshan and said, "You! You...why don't you know what's good?"

"Old Zhou, it's not that I don't know what's good or bad. The problem is, since you've heard the name of our assault company, you should know that the higher authorities can't do anything against you, but they can't do anything against me!" Zhang Qingshan was proud Said lazily: "I don't want to talk about anything else, just talk about finding a wife. Which of you would dare to openly fall in love after joining the army for more than half a year? Hey! Hey! I know, don't say you don't dare, I'm afraid you won't listen Have you never heard of it? If you put this kind of thing on someone else, you would have been shot long ago, but I, Zhang Qingshan, not only dared to openly talk about love, but even our Master Wu..." Speaking of this, the voice of Master Wu Zhengqing appeared in Zhang Qingshan's mind After a slight pause, he continued: "Mr. Wu, who has already died in our [-]th Division, and Mr. Liu Yongjiang, who is now Mr. Liu Yongjiang, were both forced by me at the time, and had to promise me in person in front of everyone: wait for the victory of the Long March." Finally, they personally presided over the wedding ceremony for my wife and me... To tell you the truth, as long as I don’t make a big mistake, who would dare to hold me accountable for such a small matter, hum! If you don't believe me, if I slap this big slap, can I still slap him to death?"

Zhou Ping understood that what Zhang Qingshan said was just to dispel his thoughts, and he didn't want to involve others to take the blame for him.But he felt Zhang Qingshan's firmness under such a playful smile, so he didn't know how to persuade him.

Sighing, shaking his head with a wry smile, he patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder, and was about to move forward quickly, but was stopped by Zhang Qingshan: "Wait a minute, I was almost confused by you. Old Zhou, I have I just wanted to ask you something."

"When we set off earlier, when we were discussing with Lao Sun, what did you mean by winking with me?"

"I'm worried that Lao Sun's body won't be able to hold on." Zhou Ping frowned again when he thought of this: "At that time, I felt that there was not even time to light a fire and cook along the way, and other comrades would eat food. Order fried rice, drink saliva, you can still deal with it, but the old grandson has lost a lot of blood, and the road is bumpy. If you don’t let him eat something good or warm, I’m afraid... Sigh~! Now, he has lost so much blood , How can this happen. Sigh~! I hope your method is useful and can make him stick to that mountain."

Zhang Qingshan was taken aback, he really hadn't considered this question...
