march to victory

"Old Zhang, what are you mumbling about?"

Zhang Qingshan's reaction was really strange. After Zhou Ping and Old Wang looked at each other in doubt, Zhou Ping asked cautiously under the urging of Old Wang's eyes.

Zhang Qingshan didn't answer, but looked at Zhou Ping and Lao Wang with a very strange look, then turned and left.

Facing a group of smokers alone, what can he say... The fact is that he felt a little guilty, afraid that Zhou Ping and Old Wang would hear what he just muttered.Because the general idea of ​​what he muttered was: this needs cigarettes, and that needs cigarettes. Could it be that Lao Tzu's role in this team is the treatment of the director of a tobacco factory-nothing can be done without cigarettes?

The point is, there is only one more thing left, if it goes on like this, it will definitely not be enough in the future, then what should we do?

Fortunately, it was interrupted by Zhou Ping, otherwise, if he continued to think about it, Zhang Qingshan would probably be startled.That's why he was so eager to cover up that he wanted to leave in a hurry.In particular, Zhang Qingshan finally realized a problem: In this desolate and uninhabited place where supplies cannot be replenished, everything must be economized and economized, and consumables like cigarettes must be carefully grasped, otherwise, once there is no smoke If others don't talk about it, he will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"Old Zhang, I..."

Zhang Qingshan turned around abruptly, stopped the other party with a wave of his hand, frowned and whispered: "You don't need to say anything, I know it well. I'll ask someone to bring you some cigarettes later. But let's talk first, that's all One time, not the next time, because I don't have a few of them."

After speaking, Zhang Qingshan quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

At noon, Zhang Qingshan ordered Xiang Tao to rest in place and called Xiang Tao aside.

He secretly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tore open the mouth of the cigarette, took out five cigarettes and handed them to Xiang Tao.

Looking at it, Xiang Tao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. After looking around like a thief, he patted Zhang Qingshan's flattery in a low voice: "Company commander, you are so kind to me, you know that I am addicted to cigarettes. Uncomfortable, specially..."

Unfortunately, he misunderstood.

Zhang Qingshan didn't wait for him to finish his sentence, and gave him a blank stare, which made Xiang Tao startled, and then shut up.

Zhang Qingshan thought for a while, then took out three more cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed them to Xiang Tao, then said: "Xiang Tao, go to the cooking platoon to find the deputy platoon leader Lao Wang, and pass these eight cigarettes to him... Wait, you must secretly hand these eight cigarettes into his hands when no one is around. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Hearing Xiang Tao's weak voice in answering, Zhang Qingshan naturally understood that this was a sign of Xiang Tao's extreme disappointment.

"Give Lao Wang eight cigarettes because he has a mission and needs cigarettes to refresh himself, so don't worry about it." After thinking for a while, he took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed them to Xiang Tao , and said, "These two cigarettes are your traveling expenses."

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Don't be too happy. Let me tell you the truth, I don't have any cigarettes anymore. I guess I can't hold on until I get out of the grass. So, now these cigarettes, you have to learn to save one, you boy. do you know?"

"I know." Xiang Tao pouted, and asked back: "But, company commander, are you really out of cigarettes?"

"No matter how much I hide, I still can't supply so many smokers, especially these smokers are counting on me every day. Do you think I'm really the director of a tobacco factory?"

"Heh! Heh! Company Commander, don't be angry, I'm going to find Old Wang..."

Seeing Xiang Tao running away happily, Zhang Qingshan shook his head with a wry smile. Obviously, he also understood that Xiang Tao didn't listen to what he just told him.What's more, he smiled wryly at what kind of scene it would be if everyone was really out of cigarettes... However, Zhang Qingshan didn't think deeply about a problem: before meeting him, everyone would also stop smoking It's been a few days, so, how did you get through these few days?Therefore, Zhang Qingshan's worries are somewhat superfluous.To put it bluntly, these are all the result of his own indulgence, or the result of his love to show off, but he doesn't like to care about every detail. Otherwise, how can everyone be so big or small, trying to get cigarettes from him?

Because of the oil, although everyone ate wild vegetables, they were not too hungry, and because firewood was hard to find, so after discussion, everyone decided unanimously: lunch will be skipped.Therefore, everyone is resting now, and the food team is fishing. Some active and greedy people, such as Qin Fang and Zhou Baoyu, went to watch the fishing.

"There's someone over there!"

Zhang Qingshan was chatting with Li Xueshan, when he heard Wu Shaohong's excited cry, he quickly stood up and looked in the direction of Wu Shaohong's finger.Not only Zhang Qingshan, but almost everyone who heard Wu Shaohong's voice immediately stood up and looked over—everyone was very concerned about whether there were new comrades to join.

"how far?"

Wu Shaohong took a closer look, then put down the binoculars and made a visual inspection with the naked eye. After estimating it based on the experience cultivated in so many days, she returned: "It's not too far. It's about 500 meters... They seem to have spotted us too and are waving to us."

"Old Peng, take the comrades from the security squad to have a look."

"Okay!" Peng Peng turned around, waved his hand, and shouted: "All the comrades in the security squad will follow me!"

This time, without Zhang Qingshan's instructions, Peng Peng and the security squad—the previous squad were very familiar with this aspect and had already made preparations.When Peng Peng gave an order, ten soldiers from the security squad immediately ran out with Peng Peng, without even assembling.And each of them carried a gun on their backs, a rope in their hand, a water bottle hanging on their waist, and a long handkerchief that was not white and was used to wipe sweat on their left shoulder... Anyway, apart from the gun and rope for their own safety, no one else They were basically used to rescue others, and each of them even had brown sugar tightly wrapped in kraft paper in their pockets. At that time, brown sugar was recognized as the best in everyone’s mind. It is a blood-replenishing thing, an absolute life-saving thing, especially for those who are hungry, tired, exhausted or even on the verge of death, the preciousness of this thing is no different from life-saving food.

Less than 5 minutes after Peng Peng set off with the comrades of the security team, suddenly!There was a burst of cheers from Lao Wang's fishing place, which attracted everyone's attention, and Zhang Qingshan was no exception.

When it came to Li Xueshan, he looked over there after hearing the cheers, and smiled at Zhang Qingshan: "They must have caught a big fish over there, that's why they are so happy. I can't wait to see you like this." Go and see, shall we?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Qingshan replied with a smile: "I just wondered how big a fish they caught, so they shouted with joy."

"Then what are you waiting for, don't you know if you run over and have a look?"

"But, Brother Li, I still want to ask you for some advice."

"I don't ask for advice, everyone just communicates with each other. Besides, communication and other things can be done at any time. Anyway, I can't run away. Everyone has plenty of time to learn from each other." Li Xueshan said with a smile: "I am now My legs and feet are inconvenient, otherwise, I would have rushed to see it. Xiao Zhang, although we are cadres, we are also human beings, and we also have emotions and desires. There is really no need to hang the word "cadre" on our faces and mouths all the time. It is not the character of our communists, nor is it the face that our soldiers should have...Actually , Sometimes showing the true side of your heart can make you get along better with your comrades. Do you understand?"

"Understood. Thank you Brother Li for your guidance. Then I'll go and have a look?"

"Well! Go ahead. Remember the four words 'Equality between officers and men'!"

"it is good!"

After Zhang Qingshan paid a standard salute to Li Xueshan, he turned around and strode towards the fishing place.

At this time, he realized that many comrades, driven by curiosity, had already rushed to the fishing place.

When Zhang Qingshan came to the fishing place, there were already 40 or [-] people surrounding him.Everyone was smiling and talking about how to eat fish and how to make fish soup.

Seeing Liu Bing talking and laughing happily with the soldiers in the crowd, without seeing his proud personality at all, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but think of Li Xueshan's words - officers and soldiers are equal!This became more and more affirmed.

"How about it, how big a fish did you catch? Let me see."

After all, he was the highest leader among the group. As soon as Zhang Qingshan arrived, everyone consciously gave way to him, making Zhang Qingshan think of Li Xueshan's words again.He didn't go in anymore, he just stood outside and asked with a smile.

Sure enough, his gentle attitude immediately made the faces of the original fighters who gave way visibly relaxed. They stepped forward one after another, enthusiastically gesturing to Zhang Qingshan the size of the fish, and said that this was their fish in the water grass field. This is the first time I saw a big fish.Some comrades even squeezed forward desperately in order to talk to Zhang Qingshan, making Zhang Qingshan clearly feel the warm power of the words 'equal officers and soldiers'... You know, Zhang Qingshan's reputation is not small, Not to mention veterans, even many recruits who have just joined the army have heard of his deeds. In today's words, Zhang Qingshan is a star.In addition, he has now become everyone's company commander. In the hearts of the soldiers, he is really respected and envious. Being able to talk to Zhang Qingshan is like talking to a fan with a star in his heart. How can he not be nervous and excited?

Not enough, Zhang Qingshan roughly estimated the size of the fish from everyone's chattering: at most, it was only one catty.In Zhang Qingshan's eyes, he naturally looked down upon it.But facing the elated atmosphere of the comrades around him, Zhang Qingshan was not a fool, so he naturally knew what to do.

While happily chatting with the soldiers around him, he walked slowly inside, the smile on his face never stopped.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Zhang Qingshan became more approachable, which made the soldiers happier and the scene more lively.

When he was about to go to the fishing place, he heard that Zhang Qingshan was coming. Zhou Baoyu, who was watching the fish with everyone, rolled his eyes, grabbed the fish with both hands, and held it up high as if showing off, excited. Shouted to Zhang Qingshan: "Brother! Look, fish! What a big fish."

Zhang Qingshan immediately had a deeper understanding of Zhou Baoyu's acting talent: this guy cares about him, but he has seen bigger fish than this more than once, especially the big fish that weighs four or five catties.But now, he was so excited, and even said big fish, how could he do it without some acting talent?

Qin Fang's performance did not disappoint Zhang Qingshan, or rather, Qin Fang was performing normally...
