march to victory

"Then do you have any remedy now?"

Seeing Zhou Ping shaking his head, Zhang Qingshan asked persistently: "Why don't we take a break in the middle, build a fire, and get some hot food for the old grandson?"

"We can only see the situation at that time."

You might as well not say that.

Zhang Qingshan frowned even deeper.

There are only things you can't think of in this world, and there is nothing you can't do. The key is to work together.

At this extremely difficult time, Zhang Qingshan really didn't think of any good solution, but when he whispered the matter to Zhou Baoyu with a sad face, Zhou Baoyu laughed, and immediately gave a perfect answer, which made Zhang Qingshan While looking at Zhou Baoyu with admiration, I have to sigh: No wonder everyone says that Danone is among the people, and it really is.However, seeing Zhou Baoyu's smug smile, Zhang Qingshan rolled his eyes and curled his lips, his hands itching badly.

Afterwards, the two ran forward for more than half an hour with a can of beef, a small bag of fried noodles, a bag of dried cow dung collected along the way, several water bottles and three steel helmets.After leaving the team far behind, they only rested for 5 minutes, and the two of them struggled to light a fire to cook, and they also found some wild vegetables to add to it.

When the team arrived in front of them, they not only cooked the meal, but also took a break for more than ten minutes... In this way, everyone's progress will not be delayed, and everyone's stomach can be taken care of. It is indeed the best of both worlds Method.Let Zhou Ping praise again and again: Such a good idea, after the victory of the Long March, must be reported and widely publicized.

Zhang Qingshan curled his lips when he heard it: Are you planning to go on another long march?Not enough dead people?

See the mountain, run dead horse!This statement applies not only to mountains, but also to plains.

At the beginning, Zhang Qingshan estimated that the journey was only about 34 miles, but in the end, he walked 11 to 30 miles, and did not reach the foot of the mountain until late at night.After resting for half an hour, when we reached the top of the mountain, it was already around [-]:[-] in the middle of the night.

Regarding that responsibility, although Zhang Qingshan talked a lot, he was still very worried in his heart: he was really not worried about possible punishment, but worried about Sun Zhiping's life.

God bless, on this journey, although the progress was a bit slower than before, the two horses worked honestly along the way, coupled with Zhou Ping's uninterrupted inspection and reinforcement all the way, so that Sun Zhiping was safe and sound all the way. I fell asleep at my destination.

The mountain that Zhang Qingshan and the others are on at this time is not big, but it is very steep, with a slope of 55 to 65 degrees.

On the top of the mountain, there is a large platform about six or seven meters high and more than 200 square meters wide.There are stone ladders on the way up, and stone tables and benches on the platform. In particular, there is a large rectangular stone about 1.2 meters high, two meters long and 1.5 meters wide in the middle, which makes people understand it at a glance. It's an altar... Later, I asked the local people, this mountain is called the mountain of sacrifice, and the altar on the top of the mountain is the platform for worshiping the gods.In addition to offering sacrifices to the gods, after the death of some great nobles, their descendants came here from thousands of miles to perform sky burials for the corpses of the great nobles.It is said that if a celestial burial is performed on the altar, the soul can directly ascend to the sky.

The local people also said: The altar for offering sacrifices to the gods here has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one to take care of it at all. That is to say, the surrounding people occasionally come here to pay homage, and it is rare to see people from afar come here.

"Brother, there are so many things made of stone here, what are they for?"

"It's for worshiping the gods." Zhang Qingshan didn't care whether Zhou Baoyu really didn't know, or he just had nothing to say.After ordering the two soldiers to stand guard one by one on the stone ladder, the only way up, he walked around the altar, but his brows furrowed unknowingly: through the weeds on the altar, It is a pity that this altar has been abandoned and no one is managing it.Otherwise, if it is used frequently, if the enemy wants to attack here, the surrounding people will definitely not agree - if you dare to fight here and offend the gods in their hearts, wouldn't you be courting death?

"Baoyu, can you still hold on?"

"I'm fine." As expected of a clever ghost, as soon as Zhang Qingshan asked, he knew something was wrong: "Brother, if you need anything, just tell me."

"It's like this. I see that the comrades are exhausted after the rapid march this day. If you chew fried noodles and water again, everyone's physical strength will be greatly reduced. But I can't leave now. See if you can bring two Soldiers go down the mountain to light a fire and cook some cooked food for everyone."

"it is good!"

"However, you have to go to the bottom of the mountain to light the fire, so as not to be discovered by the enemy's scouts." The gang of horse bandits were looking for them. If they lighted the fire on the altar at this time, wouldn't it be clear to inform the enemy? ?Therefore, we can only light a fire on the back of the mountain to minimize the chance of exposure.

"Yes."

Seeing Zhou Baoyu looking for someone to find something, Zhang Qingshan came to the altar, seeing that everyone was so tired that they didn't even have the appetite to eat, and everyone leaned on the altar to rest limply, but no one went to sleep on the altar, Even Sun Zhiping was lying on a stretcher.Zhang Qingshan was very satisfied with this: Our Red Army attaches great importance to ethnic policy, and we have emphasized it many times along the way. It seems that it is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone consciously abides by it.Otherwise, who doesn't know that sleeping on the altar is definitely more comfortable than sleeping against the altar?

Looking at it, Zhang Qingshan felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart: what a good comrade, what a good soldier, but now he is forced to be like this... Sigh~!No wonder some people say that they dare to exchange the sun and the moon for the blue sky because of their great ambition of sacrifice!This sacrifice is not only life, but also has many meanings.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone else was exhausted, but Sun Zhiping, who was drowsy all the way, was full of energy.Seeing Zhang Qingshan standing in a daze in front of him, his eyes dimmed, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's nothing." Zhang Qingshan replied casually, sat down next to him, smoked a cigarette, and was about to pass one to Sun Zhiping, and Sun Zhiping had already reached out to take it, but Zhang Qingshan suddenly remembered that this guy smoked a cigarette during the day The smoke choked so much blood from the wound, now, let's forget it: "Your injury is not healed, it's better not to smoke."

As he spoke, he handed the cigarette to the soldier next to him.

After a circle of smoke, Zhang Qingshan said with a smile to everyone: "Comrades, I know that everyone is too tired to move, so if you want to rest, take the time to rest. But first, I have asked Zhou Baoyu Go down the mountain with two other comrades to make a fire and cook. When the meal is ready, everyone must eat more, so that we can have the strength to move on tomorrow... Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Old Sun, I want to hear your opinion on how to go next."

Sun Zhiping thought for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Old Zhang, there is no need to make a plan in this endless place. In my opinion, it's better to take one step at a time, so that you can adapt to the situation."

Zhang Qingshan thought about it, yes, this place is similar everywhere, as long as you can identify the general direction and go.

"Well, you slept for so long during the day, now, you should be on duty..." Zhang Qingshan took two puffs of the cigarette, put out the remaining half of the pestle, and put it on his left ear, The body fell to the right, and the head rested on the right hand, saying: "It's my turn to rest."

After eating, Zhang Qingshan personally checked Sun Zhiping's wound, and he was relieved to see that he was recovering well.

"Old Zhang, this platform is not high. If the enemy surrounds us, we must prevent the enemy's grenades. Shall we gather all the stones and stools when everyone has just rested and has some strength?" Together, what do you think of a simple blast-proof hiding place?"

Zhang Qingshan touched the coffin-like sacrificial altar, thought for a while, and shook his head: "Old Sun, this place is not big. If we build a simple temporary hiding place, it may not be able to withstand a few grenades. There is a little distance, so that everyone can use the distance to hide."

Sun Zhiping used to be the deputy platoon leader and squad leader, so he more or less guessed what Zhang Qingshan was thinking, glanced around, and whispered: "Old Zhang, you don't mean to leave here before dawn, do you?"

"I know that comrades are very tired and want to take a good rest, but if we don't do this, I'm afraid that if the enemy falls here, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."

"But……"

"Okay, grandson, I have arrangements."

"Then tell me about your plan."

You are asking too directly, I don't have to explain it to you.Seeing that Sun Zhiping is seriously injured, but still so concerned about everyone's safety, Zhang Qingshan couldn't bear it, so he said bluntly: "First, you are worried that the enemy will throw grenades on it. I am also worried about this, but I think, The enemy might be more worried about us throwing the grenade down than the two of us. You see, this mountain is steep, and they have to look up to the sky at least to throw it, but we just need to touch the edge and throw it down. Second, I have already figured it out. Even if the enemy touches the mountain, if they want to go up to the altar, there is only the stone steps to go. It will be difficult for us not to find out. And if we want to go down, not only is it easy, And it's very convenient...”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan pointed to a pile of things that were not clearly visible not far to the left, and said with a smile: "Do you see that pile of things? That is the tool for us to go down."

Seeing the mystery Zhang Qingshan said, Sun Zhiping was also successfully whetted by him: "Look at what you said is so mysterious, what exactly is it?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I found two bundles of rope from the two spies earlier, and then I cut some old clothes into strips, twisted them into thin ropes, and twisted these four thin ropes and the two bundles of ropes into a thick rope. Rope. In this way, at least we can take advantage of them when they first come, and we can let the rope go down wherever we want... In fact, I want to see how many enemies are coming. There are so many people coming, we Leave immediately; but if there are few people coming, I hope to use the geographical advantage here to fight them fiercely, so that they don't dare to chase us anymore..."

"I know what you're thinking. I'm curious though, where did you find the clothes? Have you tried them? How long is the string? Is it strong enough?"

I can't tell you, I took off the clothes of those two spies just because I was afraid of the cold at night, right?

Seeing Zhang Qingshan shaking his head, he became anxious and pushed Zhang Qingshan: "Then why don't you try it quickly?"

"I see you are in a hurry. Old Sun, don't worry, if necessary, I will carry you down."

"roll!"
