march to victory

Under the strong request of Xueqin and Qin Fang who joined later, Zhang Qingshan did not move his place overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Qingshan used the excuse of "going for convenience" to finally be able to move around and walk around—this is the true temperament of a soldier, especially after he is used to seeing life and death, although he feels sad for a while, Can't help but burst out, but the self-regulation ability is absolutely powerful.No, after just a nap, Zhang Qingshan woke up no longer crying with sadness on his face, and there was no big ups and downs in his heart, he was very stable.

After leaving, he was surprised to find that this temporary resting place actually accommodated nearly 300 people besides the comrades who came to meet him.

You know, according to Xiang Xueqin, taking advantage of the smooth opening of the road and the perfect opportunity for the enemy to react for a while, basically send a group of captured comrades back to join the main force the next day.

That is to say, the nearly 300 people in front of us were all taken in from yesterday to now.

Being able to take in so many people in one day means that many of the single comrades have come out victorious.And these people, whether it is combat experience or loyalty, are absolutely impeccable treasures. Every extra person is a beneficial cornerstone for the revolutionary cause... Thinking of this, Zhang Qingshan was so excited that he just wanted to be big. Laughing, the depression in my heart was swept away.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions!

He is in a good mood, wherever he goes, no matter whether he knows him or not, he always smiles and nods to say hello, and talks very affectionately, which boosts morale by the way.He even happily squatted down on the two shepherd dogs brought by someone who didn’t know who brought them, stroking the heads of the two dogs, and talking to each other with a smile—these behaviors were completely subconscious. It is a habit gradually developed after becoming a company commander. It can be seen that nothing can be achieved overnight.

"If you have been away for so long and haven't come back, I thought something happened. It turns out that you are bored and talking to two dogs...Your body is still weak, so don't move around too much..." That is to say, When Zhang Qingshan was chatting with the two shepherd dogs, Xiang Xueqin found him, and he hated iron for being weak, and complained: "I will go back after breakfast, you should take advantage of this time to go back It's good to have a rest... well, come back with me."

"It's okay!" Zhang Qingshan carelessly patted the heads of the two shepherd dogs without looking back and said, "Don't underestimate these two dogs, they are all human. Look, I will pet them." , They also know how to nod."

In this regard, Xiang Xueqin was speechless: "Heavenly conscience, any dog ​​will subconsciously lick each other when its head is touched comfortably while wagging its tail, and will naturally nod slightly."Of course, Xiang Xueqin also understands that although Zhang Qingshan didn't know why Zhang Qingshan's mood took a 180-degree turn after he went to relieve his hand, but he is now like this, which shows that he is very happy in his heart, otherwise he would not be so funny .

Hearing what he said, looking at him like this, Xiang Xueqin knew that it was impossible to persuade him back now, thinking that being happy would also help recovery, so Xiang Xueqin would naturally stop persecuting her, but instead, she turned to Zhang Qingshan's behavior. The cause of the great shift begets curiosity.

Xiang Xueqin has a straightforward temper, and the object of the question is Zhang Qingshan, her lover, so she naturally has no hesitation.

Getting closer, he also stroked the other dog's head, and asked Zhang Qingshan in a low voice: "Qingshan, you cried a lot last night, and you will recover this morning..."

Zhang Qingshan almost jumped up as if he had been poked into a sore spot - among other things, just the point of 'losing face in front of his girlfriend' alone was doomed that Zhang Qingshan would never admit it.

No, he immediately raised his head to look at Xueqin, argued with his eyes wide open, "When did I cry so much? Let me tell you, last night I only cried because I got a lot of sand in my eyes and it hurt, but I definitely didn't cry..."

Xiang Xueqin has long been used to a man's good face in the headquarters hospital, and she doesn't even find it surprising that he cares more about men than Zhang Qingshan.

Hearing this, with the intention of coaxing the child, he quickly nodded and followed Zhang Qingshan's words: "Yes! Yes! Did sand enter, or a lot of sand entered. And it's also my fault for not taking good care of you, right?"

"Originally." Zhang Qingshan, who was satisfied with his face, snorted a little dissatisfied, and then continued to touch the dog's head.

"Then tell me, it's convenient for you to go here, and your mood will take a 180-degree turn... What happy thing did you encounter? It can make you so happy. You don't even talk to anyone, just talk to others. Chatting with two dogs. Tell me?"

Zhang Qingshan was in a good mood, so naturally he didn't hide it.

However, after Xiang Xueqin understood the cause and effect, she glanced at Zhang Qingshan, seeing that he didn't pay attention, she couldn't help curling her lips.

As an experienced old nurse, she must of course maintain the patient's physical and mental well-being, so that it is conducive to the treatment of the disease and will never cause trouble for the patient: this is not taken in alone at all, except for the 160 five people brought by Zhang Qingshan. , the other more than 100 people are composed of three separate teams, all taken in at different time periods from early morning to afternoon yesterday... Speaking of which, I have to thank Zhang Qingshan and his gunshots for attracting these three teams, otherwise , whether or not it will happen today is still a matter of opinion.

In fact, it is true that Zhang Qingshan only cares about being happy without thinking deeply, otherwise, he only needs to think about it for a while to understand the truth: not to mention factors such as hunger, fatigue, and illness, just a little is enough to make people feel sick. The single personnel go crazy... The water and grass field is too big and empty, and the sky and the earth are silent. If a person stays in it for a long time without anyone to accompany him to talk, this kind of huge mental pressure is definitely not something ordinary people can endure for a long time. bearable.

Therefore, in this case, it is difficult for the single personnel to survive just under the mental pressure. In a few days, they will form a mechanical advance, and finally, they will fall down!Just like when they first entered the water and grass field, the three of Zhang Qingshan would have nothing to talk about, and even when they really had nothing to say, they simply sang military songs to get rid of the inner restraint caused by the silent pressure.

During breakfast, head Zhang sent someone to visit everyone.

In fact, it is to boost morale, but to be honest, the fact that there is a victory in the Long March is at the bottom, and everyone's spirits are very high, so there is no need to encourage them at all.Otherwise, many soldiers who demanded to go to the front to fight the enemy immediately would probably have to desert.

"Xueqin, what's the situation among the people we know?"

Hurry up, idle is also idle.

After Zhang Qingshan sang military songs with everyone for a while, he thought of his comrades in arms, so he naturally wanted to ask Xueqin.

Originally, he was prepared in his heart, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the echo. Zhang Qingshan turned his head in doubt, but saw Xueqin bowed his head and didn't speak.

"what happened?"

"Qingshan, this time, we have lost too much. Many familiar comrades died on the road..." When Xiang Xueqin looked up at Zhang Qingshan, tears were streaming down his face, and his tone was choked up.

Seeing Zhang Qingshan's expression suddenly became solemn, Xiang Xueqin thought for a while and said slowly: "Sister Zhang Lian died."

"Hmm! I'm on the road, and I heard from the comrades who are alone..." At this point, Zhang Qingshan's heart began to sink, and he asked in a heavy tone: "Is there any more?"

"I don't know much about the others, but I know that three nurses in our headquarters hospital alone died on the way... Also, Qingshan, there is a piece of news that I haven't confirmed yet, and I heard it from others, but you have to do it Be mentally prepared."

"Tell me, which other comrades I know died?" Zhang Qingshan wanted to show a little smile, in order to show that he had a strong ability to fight, but unfortunately, his smile was uglier than crying, and it showed his innermost feelings. Feeling of regret: "Since the Long March, none of us are used to seeing life and death. Don't worry, I can bear it. Tell me!"

"Wang Wu, the platoon leader of the assault company, was seriously injured during the ambush at Yanzikou. Later, because of the lack of medical treatment, and the rush to retreat made the scene a bit chaotic, the treatment time was a bit late, etc. The wound became infected, and in the end, he left alone..."

He said he was "going away", but in fact, he was just like those comrades who were unwilling to involve other seriously injured comrades, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness and sneaking away to find a place where no one was around to 'suicide'.

After saying this 'bomb'-like news, Xiang Xueqin immediately took a peek at Zhang Qingshan, wanting to determine from his reaction whether the next more important news should be said now, after all, she is a medical staff, understand People's ability to adapt is limited, and it will be unbearable if they are overwhelmed by successive stimuli.

Sure enough, when Zhang Qingshan heard the news suddenly, Wang Wu's bits and pieces flashed in his mind: He loves to laugh, he loves to laugh, he is very brave in battle, he has rich experience in commanding battles, and he is also extremely righteous on weekdays. He is definitely a hero , is also his right-hand man - Zhang Qingshan even thought in his heart: Once he leaves the assault company, he will suggest to his superiors that Wang Wu should be the company commander.However, it is such a hero who fell forever on the Long March, which is very regrettable.

But when Xiang Xueqin saw Zhang Qingshan stop suddenly, she looked straight at him, with an inexplicable expression in her eyes, but her fists were clenched tightly, and her teeth were clenching loudly, which all showed the grief and indignation in Zhang Qingshan's heart at this moment. ... Seeing this, how dare Xiang Xueqin tell the bigger news.

Hurry up to support him, and comfort him: "Qingshan, you want to open it..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, Zhang Qingshan forcibly interrupted: "I can think about it, my only wish now is to do my best to carry the revolution to the end, so that I can be worthy of those comrades who died..." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan glanced at Xueqin, walked forward and said: "Xueqin, you and I have to work harder, so that we can be worthy of the martyrs who took the first step."

Xiang Xueqin never expected Zhang Qingshan to have such a reaction, and to adjust so quickly——Last night, Zhang Qingshan was already mentally prepared, so it is hard to say the blow in this regard now , There are too many such news, which makes him a little numb.It's just that Wang Wu is his winning general after all, and he was a little sad and angry when he heard the bad news suddenly.

"Yeah! I know. But, Qingshan, you also have credit."

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over, he said with a smile to Xueqin: "We all thought that Xiaofang was sacrificed, but we never expected that with you, we walked through the water and grass field alive and well, which is a big deal for us medical staff. It was a great encouragement. Everyone said that you are a lucky general, and they will curry favor with you in the future. In this way, if something happens, you can be blessed with your blessing to offset the bad luck..."

Zhang Qingshan laughed out loud.

It seemed extremely cheerful, but everyone could hear that his smile was mixed with a bit of grief and strong unwillingness.

And Zhang Qingshan also forgot to ask about other people's situation...
