march to victory

Zhang Qingshan lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eyeballs was Zhou Baoyu who was sleeping by the bed.

Seeing him, Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed: he is still alive.Immediately, he remembered the reason for his injury, began to worry about the situation of his comrades-in-arms, and wondered whether to catch the two big bandits Zhao Wu and Zuanshanhu.

He opened his mouth and wanted to call Zhou Baoyu, but unfortunately, his voice was too weak, so he failed several times.He also wanted to raise his hand to touch Zhou Baoyu, but it seemed that the distance was only one foot, because Zhang Qingshan was weak all over, but he couldn't lift his hand no matter what, which made people anxious.

Holding back his breath, he suddenly stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Baoyu, yes!He managed to meet Zhou Baoyu, but pulled his own wound.Zhang Qingshan, who hadn't felt any pain when he woke up, suddenly felt a strong pain rush from his whole body to the top of his head because of the pulling on the wound, instantly making Zhang Qingshan's eyes go dark, and before he could say anything, he passed out.Zhou Baoyu's anxious call came from next to his ear...

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qingshan woke up again, and saw Zhou Baoyu sitting on the bedside practicing writing stroke by stroke with his right index finger on his knee. Zhang Qingshan was not surprised by this: most of the Red Army soldiers were Workers and peasants don't have much culture, especially the newcomers, many of them can't even write their own names.Usually, you have to train, help the people to do things, and even fight against the enemy. You can only go to the night school organized by the educated comrades in the propaganda team to learn culture. Therefore, whenever you have the opportunity, you should seize every moment to practice. Zhang Qingshan That's what it is.

"Baoyu!" The voice was hoarse, but enough for Zhou Baoyu to hear.

"Ah! Squad leader, you're awake, that's great..." Zhou Baoyu looked at Zhang Qingshan excitedly, but while talking, he jumped up and ran outside.

I woke up, what are you running?Is this how you take care of me?Zhang Qingshan was a little depressed looking at the back who rushed out of the door, very speechless.However, hearing Zhou Baoyu yell, "Doctor! Doctor Zhou, our squad leader is awake, come and take a look." Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to smile wryly.

Although Doctor Zhou is very young, he has excellent medical skills. It is said that he came to Hunan from a large hospital in Shanghai to join the revolution. As work began, someone was seriously injured.He checked Zhang Qingshan and said that the operation was a success, and Zhang Qingshan is very strong. I believe Zhang Qingshan will be back to normal in a short time.However, I also remind Zhang Qingshan, don't pull the wound like before...

Thank you Doctor Zhou, after he went out, Zhang Qingshan was a little thirsty.

"Give me some water."

Under Zhou Baoyu's service, Zhang Qingshan drank some water, although the deadly pain came up here, it was much lighter than last time, and Zhang Qingshan could bear it.In order to divert my pain, I talked to Zhou Baoyu: "Look at you working so hard, how many words do you know?"

Zhou Baoyu lowered his head in embarrassment, looked at Zhang Qingshan, and said softly: "I have only learned it for a short time, and now I can only write my own name, and the handwriting is not good-looking."

"Who is born literate? It's not all about learning bit by bit. It's okay, just learn more in the future." After speaking, Zhang Qingshan felt that these words were a bit familiar. Thinking about it, Captain Xiang Jiafu seemed to be That's how he comforted himself. For a moment, his heart felt warm, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"Baoyu, is the battle at Tiger's Cave over? Have you caught the two big bandits, Zhao Wu and Zhuanshanhu? How are the comrades..."

Faced with Zhang Qingshan's series of questions, Zhou Baoyu obviously did his 'homework' long ago.

"Squad leader, the Tiger Cave battle ended a few days ago..."

"How many days ago?"

"Yes! After you were injured, everyone hurriedly carried you out of the cave. Doctor Zhou said that you were seriously injured and had to be operated on immediately, and then operated on you in Xiatianyun Village at the foot of the mountain... You have been unconscious for two days. It's been two days and nights."

"Anyway, it's okay, just talk to me carefully."

After Zhang Qingshan was seriously injured in order to protect his teammates, he aroused the anger of his teammates against the bandits, but was unable to cross the Yin River. They have been hiding on the opposite side all their lives, and they will starve to death if they are hungry.Unexpectedly, internal strife broke out on the opposite side: Zhuanshanhu had too many murders in his hands, knowing that he would die if he surrendered, so he resolutely refused to surrender, and wanted to coerce a few confidants into defense.But some of his confidantes didn't want to die and immediately resisted.In the end, the diamond mountain tiger was beaten to death by his subordinates, which is regarded as evil and evil.

After the confidants surrendered and were captured, the Zan Shanhu confessed that as soon as the grenade exploded on the second checkpoint, the Zan Shanhu took them to the other side of the river and did not notice Zhao Wu, but someone explained that they felt that Zhao Wu's people It should be not far behind.

Everyone searched the cave carefully all night, but Zhao Wu and several of his confidants disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated from the world.In the end, everyone judged that Zhao Wu and his confidants should have escaped along the Yin River. Although they didn't understand what tools they used to escape in this dark and reef-like river, they couldn't find anyone. There is no way to verify... Later, some people said that they met Zhao Wu in Sichuan, but because they could not be verified, they did not know whether it was true or not.

As for how Zhao Wu escaped, this mystery was not solved until the early 60s.At that time, there was a severe drought in Longshan County, and the township government organized personnel to block the Yin River so that the water of the Yin River could flow out of the Tiger Cave.During the construction, someone inadvertently found a natural and populous small hole on the top of the stone wall more than 20 meters upstream of the river beach (the river beach where Zhang Qingshan was injured), and there were still some daily necessities in it. Judging, at that time, Zhao Wu and his confidants should have climbed into this small cave to hide with a ladder, and escaped at night until the Red Army searched to no avail... The entrance of this small cave is like a melon, and the bottom of the cave extends forward for a distance. Mido, plus the surrounding dark environment and the river beach and other factors, so if no one is pointing you, even if you stand more than ten meters below and shine with a flashlight, you will not be able to find it.

Although Zhao Wu and his confidants were not captured this time in the attack on Tiger Cave, it was a fly in the ointment, but the harvest was still huge. Not only did they eliminate the largest group of bandits in Guitang Town, they also killed the bandit leader, Diamond Mountain Leopard, and captured a lot of money. , There are more than 3 catties of food alone, and thousands of catties of bacon, which not only solves the problem of Hongsanlian’s food in one fell swoop, but also solves part of the food for the headquarters... When Zhang Qingshan and the others were washing, they heard the enthusiastic Cheers, that is, such a huge amount of grain and other daily necessities were found in the fork hole in the middle.And those three gunshots were warnings and threats to the bandits guarding these things.However, Zhang Qingshan and others didn't know it, and thought they had caught Zhao Wu and Zhuanshanhu, so they misunderstood.

Of course, the Red Army also paid a price for this attack on Tiger Cave: five Red Army soldiers died and six were seriously injured (not including the casualties of Wu Shuibao's previous battle with the bandits: ten dead and eighteen injured).Among them, two commandos were killed, two were seriously injured, and two were slightly injured—mainly because they were careless at the time and were suddenly attacked by bandits on the other side of the river.As far as this is concerned, it must be said that the Red Army was lucky. If Wu Shuibao hadn't happened to lead people to attack the Tiger Cave, the bandits ventured out of the cave carelessly, and then the Red Army captured most of them in one fell swoop, only allowing dozens of people to escape back into the cave.Otherwise, if we really need to fight bit by bit, the number of casualties will definitely increase exponentially.What's more, some commandos took the risk of blowing up the second checkpoint with grenades, scaring the bandits into voluntary surrender.It can be seen that the saying that Tiger Cave is easy to defend but difficult to attack is very reasonable.

In view of the outstanding performance of the commando this time, not only won the collective third-class merit, but also, the company decided to formally establish the commando.

"Baoyu, help me up."

"Squad leader, you can't move now... Tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."

Zhang Qingshan's face was a little embarrassed, Zhou Baoyu looked serious and concerned, thought for a while, and whispered: "I want to go to the latrine to relieve my little hands."

Zhou Baoyu bent down and took out a bedpan from under the bed: "Squad leader, I'll hold it for you, you sprinkle it in here."

Zhang Qingshan's complexion finally turned red... After several arguments and even threats, Zhou Baoyu remained unmoved. In the end, he had no choice but to solve the problem in front of Zhou Baoyu.After Zhou Baoyu went out to pour out his urine and came back, in order to resolve the embarrassment, he had to change the subject again: "Baoyu, do you have a cigarette? Have one."

"No, Doctor Zhou specifically told me: If you want to die early, I will just give you cigarettes." Putting the bedpan under the bed, Zhou Baoyu looked at Zhang Qingshan pitifully: "Squad leader, just bear with it." , Wait until you recover from your injury, okay? Otherwise, I won’t have the face to stay in the team.”

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and the red-headed Peng Peng walked in quickly with a fishing rod in one hand and a wooden bucket in the other.

"Ha! Ha! I just heard that you woke up when I came back. It's really great." Putting the fishing rod and wooden bucket aside, he walked over quickly and said with a smile: "If you are finished like this, Wouldn't it be too bad for me to pay you back the great favor I owe you?"

"My comrade, what are you talking about?"

"That can't be done." Peng Peng patted his chest and said, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, I will record this kindness here."

Zhang Qingshan was about to speak when he saw Zhou Baoyu running to the bucket and shouted in surprise: "Brother Peng, you are really capable to catch such a big turtle."

Then, he grabbed the turtle with both hands and showed it to Zhang Qingshan, which weighed two catties.

"Squad leader, when you were injured, Dr. Zhou said that you were bleeding too much and needed to be mended, but our Red Army didn't have anything to mend. Brother Peng patted his chest and promised to mend your body. In the past two days, Brother Peng goes up to the mountains to hunt every day, goes down to the river to catch fish, and he gets something every day."

"As long as you talk too much, don't flatter. Xiao Zhang hasn't woken up, and most of what I have gained in the past two days has gone into the belly of you little brat." Peng Peng smiled and waved to Zhou Baoyu: "Still The old rule: You go and take this thing to the kitchen. Tell them, I don’t care about anything else, but this soup must be reserved for the wounded, especially for Xiao Zhang, a big bowl of soup must come. Otherwise, I will not agree .”

"okay!"

"This little devil is very clever, but his body is a little thinner, so he needs to make up for it."

For the next few days, Zhang Qingshan has been enjoying the blessings...
