march to victory

"Old Zhou, didn't you listen to what Xiaofang said last night? If we had come half a day earlier, we would have saved two more comrades. So, I thought about it for a long time, and I think we should go as soon as possible. In this way, we might be able to save some more comrades." .”

"Last night, Xiaofang's words also shocked me. After all, we brought enough food and a lot of medicines, which can indeed save many comrades..." Zhou Ping thought for a while and said, "However, Lao Zhang, you Have you ever thought about it? There must be a prerequisite for this, that is, we must ensure that we do not get sick. Otherwise, if we run out of medicines, what else will we use to save those injured comrades? Therefore, I think everything should not be rushed, and must be carried out step by step. Otherwise, we might have to save ourselves first before we save other comrades."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, looked back at Zhou Baoyu and the others, and said to Zhou Ping: "I know that Lao Peng and Lao Wu are both injured, which is not conducive to the rapid march. But when I think of those comrades, I..."

Zhou Ping patted his shoulder and nodded without making a sound.

"Old Zhou, I still feel that I have to go as soon as possible, even in the rain. If I can see the next living comrade a second earlier, I can be more sure of rescue...Don't talk, listen to me first, I have been thinking about a problem: the large army has marched so far, and to put it bluntly, the wounded are probably gone long ago, and the remaining nine out of ten will not be wounded, and most of them should be left behind due to hunger. So , for them, medicine is secondary, the most important thing is food."

This is the truth, but after Zhang Qingshan and the three entered the aquatic grass field, they had been in a state of sufficient food and medicine, so they instinctively thought that medicine was the most important thing, but the truth was just the opposite.

"I have estimated that with our current food, if we add a lot of wild vegetables, ten people can definitely walk for about two months without being hungry. If we add horse meat at the end, it will last longer." Maybe Feeling that this kind of analysis is not enough to express his desire to save as many people as possible, Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and added: "If there are twenty people, we can last at least one month. According to the information provided by the Central Red Army, It takes about 23 days to get out of the aquatic grassland, and we have already walked for more than ten days, that is to say, with horse meat, even if there are forty or fifty people, we can surely bring out this aquatic grassland one by one. "

Zhou Ping thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with this analysis.However, he looked up at the rain screen, and said in a deep voice, "However, this rain is a bit heavy, and it is easy for people to lose their way. I suggest waiting for the rain to stop, or at least wait for the rain to subside before setting off."

Seeing that Lao Zhou agreed, Zhang Qingshan smiled happily.No matter how domineering he is, this bit of face has to be given to Zhou Ping.

"Old Zhou, don't worry, I've thought about it. No matter how anxious you are, don't rush this moment, especially Lao Peng and Lao Wu haven't had a complete rest for a long time. Their injuries are not serious, especially Lao Peng. I believe he just needs to take care of himself." Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

"But the problem is, the two of them are now walking with crutches, which will affect their marching speed this time. Do you have any good solutions for this?"

"Yes! I have already thought of a countermeasure." Zhang Qingshan said confidently: "We have four horses now, so we will give up two horses to Lao Wu and Lao Peng..."

"What about the immediate stuff?"

"Then you and I have to work harder." As he said, Zhang Qingshan looked at Zhou Ping, but Zhou Ping shook his head and smiled and patted Zhang Qingshan's shoulder, saying: "You boy, you can't see me having a few days of easy life! "

Zhang Qingshan's meaning was very clear: he and Zhou shared equally the important things about the two horses that were handed over.The lighter items were carried by Zhou Baoyu and Qin Fang.

"Heh! Heh! If you can't carry it anymore, just leave it to me. Who told me I'm younger than you?"

"Get out! I'm only five years older than you, why are you old?"

"One day older is also older, and older than me."

In this way, in the joke, time passed bit by bit.

This ghostly weather changes as soon as it changes: it starts to rain without warning, looking at the gloomy weather, you will feel that the rain is bound to get bigger and bigger, but who knows, in a blink of an eye, it will stop falling like you are angry , It also revealed a sunny day, which made you really unable to understand God's arrangement, as if everything just depends on God's mood.

After about two hours of rain, the sky was sunny.

Zhang Qingshan gathered several people together and held the first general meeting.

The content of the meeting is only one, which is what I discussed with Zhou Ping just now: Hurry up, race against time, and try to save as many dying comrades as possible along the way.

Zhou Ping had long been persuaded by Zhang Qingshan, and Zhou Baoyu had always followed Zhang Qingshan's lead, so the two naturally agreed.

The three of Qin Fang were racing against time in order to save as many comrades as possible. Naturally, they responded very positively, because the three of them deeply experienced the taste of despair. At that time, how much they hoped to have enough food Eating, the excitement at the moment after being rescued is like a shot in the arm, or a person who is about to die of thirst gets water. The complicated state of mind cannot be described in words.

However, Peng Bing and Wu Shaohong resolutely disagreed with letting them ride on horseback, and insisted that they could completely rely on crutches without being supported or on horseback, so that they would not be left behind.

Knowing that these two people want to save face, they don't want to burden everyone, or in other words, they don't want or want to be a burden from the bottom of their hearts.

In order to take care of their face, Zhang Qingshan, who was accustomed to using orders, had no choice but to let Qin Fang be the main force of persuasion.

Many people thought that Wu Shaohong was only sprained, and it seemed that he should be much more relaxed than the injured Peng Bing, but in fact it was just the opposite.To apply an old saying is 'one hundred days of pain and injury'!Wu Shaohong's tendons were in danger of breaking. On the surface, it looked fine except for a little swelling, but in fact, his left foot had to be careful to break the tendons even when it touched the ground, let alone exerting force. At that time, it was really powerless.If he wanted to recover from his injury, he might have to rest even if he walked out of this grassland.On the contrary, it was Peng Bing's injury, which didn't hurt the muscles and bones. As long as the wound heals and heals slowly, it will be no big deal.

Therefore, Qin Fang, who knew this very well, decided to get into trouble with simplicity and persuade Peng Bing first.

"Brother Peng, look, your right leg is inconvenient. When you walk..."

Before she finished speaking, Peng Bing interrupted her: "I have a walking stick, so I won't fall behind!"

"I know you won't be left behind, and I believe that if you walk on solid flat ground, you can even be faster than others. But, Brother Peng, you have to think about it, this is a grassy field with potholes, and it's one foot taller. One-legged ones are not suitable for fast marching with crutches at all. Moreover, if the crutches are accidentally inserted into the water, people will fall directly to the side and fall into the swamp... So, Brother Peng, let's not Arguing over this trivial matter, okay?"

Peng Bing glanced at Qin Fang, then looked at Zhang Qingshan and Zhou Baoyu who were watching him. After a moment of silence, he bowed his head, but did not give a reply.But several people understood that if he didn't make a sound, it was already an answer.

Take down the easy ones, and you have to make persistent efforts to deal with the hardest ones.

"Brother Ang, you understand other things better than a little girl. I don't want to waste my words, so I'll just ask you a little bit: We're going to march in a hurry, do you think you can catch up?"

Wu Shaohong nodded firmly, and insisted: "Yes!"

Qin Fang was furious, and wanted to say, "Okay, then we will march around this dry place a few times quickly."I don't bully you either, just walk quickly, if you can catch up with me, you are capable.She could feel her right waist being stabbed by Zhang Qingshan, she understood that Zhang Qingshan was asking her to pay attention to persuasion, don't get excited, let alone anger Wu Shaohong, lest he fight for face.

So, Qin Fang took a deep breath and let it out slowly. After calming down the anger in her heart, she said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you are a wounded person, and I am a nurse. I think we both know your injury well." What's the situation, right?"

After Wu Shaohong nodded and looked over suspiciously, Qin Fang still smiled and said, "Your injury looks like nothing, but it's actually much more serious than everyone imagined. If you're not careful, your left leg will be crippled." .Do you agree with this?"

"It won't be so serious, right?" As he spoke, he looked at his left leg, then at Qin Fang, feeling a little unsure.

"I'm afraid that what I said is still light." Qin Fang pressed further: "Why don't you try to move your feet gently, to ensure that the pain is severe."

Wu Shaohong must have tried this in private, but he couldn't say it out loud. Hearing this, he glanced at his left foot, but he didn't move it.

"So, Brother Ang, I just want to ask you, after you walk out of the grass, do you want to go to the revolution with a limp, or do you want to go to the revolution with the ability to run and jump?"

"Okay, who wants to be lame?"

"Then you listen to me and get on the horse."

"That won't work. I'm different from Lao Peng. I've been walking like this for a few days. I'm used to walking with crutches. I'm sure there won't be any mistakes... Otherwise, I'll walk first. I really can't keep up. Can I ride a horse again?"

"no!"

Seeing Qin Fang's solemn denial, Wu Shaohong frowned.Peng Bing on the side also persuaded: "Okay, old Wu, I know what you mean, isn't it just that you don't want to see comrades suffer because of us, but are we still riding on the horse easily? But the question is, who We are called the wounded? I think so, let’s recuperate at ease, and when we recover, we will try our best to repay the dedication of our comrades, what do you think?"

Wu Shaohong looked at this, and then at that, her brows furrowed even deeper.

Zhang Qingshan has always been outspoken, and looked a little anxious, besides, Wu Shaohong's worry was punctured by Peng Bing, his current performance is obviously a psychological struggle, Zhang Qingshan understands that now is a short time.

Straightening up, looking back, seeing that Zhou Ping had almost finished tidying up, he asked Wu Shaohong seriously: "Comrade Wu Shaohong, if I remember correctly, you were the deputy squad leader before you fell behind, right?"

"Ok!"

"I was the company commander before I fell behind, a few levels higher than you. According to the regulations, in this situation, should you obey my orders?"

"Yes!"

"Well, I now order you as the company commander and your leader: get on your horse immediately!"

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense with old people, mothers-in-law, this is an order!"

"Yes!"

The final word - done!
