march to victory

"Report! The old company commander... No! Report to the battalion commander. Someone in the front claimed to be from the local county guerrilla brigade, and said that he was ordered to meet us."

At dusk, Zhang Qingshan and others marched all the way in a hurry and came to a place called Shuangao Mountain. The spies ahead of them suddenly reported that someone was blocking the way.

With a wave of Zhang Qingshan's hand, the people in the assault company didn't need to be ordered by their own squad or platoon leader, they just spread out in all directions as the squad committee unit, looking for cover, and they were ready to meet the enemy in less than half a minute. preparation.

On the other hand, the members of the first company of the Long March, although each of them came out of the water and grass with difficulty, after all, they were assembled temporarily. When dealing with such emergencies, they acted hastily and acted hastily, especially when they matched with each other. It seems very confusing-it can only be summed up in one sentence: professional is professional.What's more, whether it's individual soldiers or collective cooperation, they themselves are not at the same level as the assault company.

This made Liu Bing feel very humiliated, and turned around in a bit of embarrassment to instruct everyone to prepare according to the class...

In this regard, Zhang Qingshan felt nothing, after all, in this respect, their training is definitely far inferior to the professionalism of the assault company.

"how many people?"

"Five!"

"Only five?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhang Qingshan looked back and felt a little feverish: No matter whether the other party is true or not, there are only five people, and there are about two hundred people on his side, but they made such a big reaction. It's too much to make a fuss over a molehill.

"Invite them all here..." Zhang Qingshan pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Be nice, but be careful."

That is, although the Red Army is only a few tens of miles away, this is the enemy's control area after all, so be careful, if it is sent by the enemy in disguise... we are not doing it for face, but for everyone's safety .Um!Speaking out, it can only be for everyone's safety!

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingshan didn't dare to look at the people around him at all. With a solemn face, he quickly ordered to Xiang Tao: "Map!"

Then, Zhang Qingshan, Liu Bing, Qi Zixuan, Tian Jingshan, Li Honghui and other seven people surrounded the map, looking at the surrounding terrain while looking for their own place...

"Now we are here. There is a three-way intersection more than a mile ahead, and then walk two or three miles west along this small road to the main road. It is only six kilometers away from the county seat of Luoshui County. At our current speed, You can arrive there in an hour and a half at most... The old rules, start a fire and cook on the spot now, rest for half an hour after the meal, and then rush to Jingshui County in one go."

"However, we are now in the dark about the situation in Luoshui County, and we don't know anything. If we just take the main road and rush over, I'm afraid we will startle the snake...Old Zhang, I suggest going here, although this trail has to be detoured , it’s a bit far away, but it can be kept as secret as possible.”

"Well! I think what Lao Tian said makes sense." Liu Bing also expressed his opinion: "Besides, anyway, it was dark outside the county seat of Luoshui County, so it's okay to take a few more steps."

Zhang Qingshan has such a point: If you know your mistakes, you can correct them!Especially on military issues, I can definitely accept other people's correct views, and I absolutely don't care about my own face.

After thinking about it, he nodded, but sighed, and said to everyone seriously: "This time, I was too impatient. When I came out, I thought this place was the same as before our Long March, so I didn't ask clearly, and I didn't talk to you carefully. Discuss the plan, but it’s only found that this place is much more open than ours—the south is mostly high mountains and dense forests, and most of this side is plain terrain. Let’s be a little passive now..."

"Report!" Before Zhang Qingshan finished his self-examination, he heard the sound of the report. When he looked back, he saw a soldier from an assault company leading five ordinary people in ordinary clothes standing a few meters away, waiting. The leader was a tall, thin man with fair complexion, about thirty years old, who looked more like a teacher than a guerrilla.Beside him, there is also a guide who came with the special operations team.

And Zhang Qingshan and others' first eyes fell on the guide, because this was the rigid condition they analyzed and concluded.

At the beginning, in order to collect food, medicine and other materials for the Red Second Front Army, it took a while to mobilize our party organizations in various places.Then, when they sent the gathered materials from the counties, the county guerrilla brigade and the troops who came to meet them, in order to understand the situation and dynamics of the surrounding enemy and ourselves, the people sent by each county would stay behind. The next two to three people are not only asking about the situation, but also asking them to be guides.

But if Zhang Qingshan and others want to operate in the surrounding enemy-controlled areas, the guides of these local comrades are naturally indispensable.Moreover, after the organization confirmed the mission, they immediately sent these local comrades to deliver messages to their respective county guerrilla brigades, asking them to fully cooperate.

When they set off, Zhang Qingshan and the others thought of another great benefit of bringing these guides: even if there is no letter of introduction, as long as these guides recognize the person who comes to meet them, they must be their own comrades... These guides can be They were all sent by the guerrilla brigades of the counties, not only were they politically reliable, they were basically the hardcore members of the guerrilla brigades in the counties, how could they not know their own captains?

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan and the others will watch the guide's reflection immediately.

"This is Comrade Hu Zeguang, the instructor of our Guerrilla Brigade in Luoshui County." Seeing Zhang Qingshan and others standing up one after another, the guide hurriedly introduced: "Instructor, this is Comrade Zhang Qingshan, the commander of the special operations brigade of our Red Army... Who is this……"

"Comrade Zeguang, I take the liberty to bother you and cause you trouble..."

"Where is it, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally our own regular army is looking forward to it..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Qingshan couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and deliberately winked at the people around him, told everyone to stay away, and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Zeguang, I would like to ask you something. "

"If my comrades are rude or not, then I will ignore them. If you have any questions, just ask."

"Is the revolutionary work pressure in Luoshui County always high?"

Don't look at Hu Zeguang's handsome face, but his temperament is indeed rough with a bit of care.Hearing Zhang Qingshan's words, he looked at Zhang Qingshan in surprise, and then followed Zhang Qingshan's gaze to the comrades behind him, and immediately guessed what Zhang Qingshan wanted to ask.

He immediately laughed and said, "Captain Zhang, put your heart in your stomach. To tell you the truth, our revolutionary work in Luoshui County is doing well, especially in the past few years, it has flourished..."

"Then why is there only this... Heh! Heh!"

"Oh~! It's like this." Hu Zeguang said with a smile: "After receiving the task from the superior, Lao Zhao and I... Lao Zhao's name is Zhao Wu, and he is the captain of our guerrilla brigade in Luoshui County." After explaining a sentence , He continued: "After receiving the task from the superior, I discussed it with Lao Zhao and felt that Luoshui County should not cause trouble to the organization, so after our discussion, I will bring a few comrades to welcome you, Lao Zhao Then he took everyone to the county seat to force the county magistrate to negotiate."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingshan was extremely astonished, and his slightly opened mouth could not be closed for a long time, until he felt something strange in Hu Zeguang's gaze, and then he came back to his senses.

"Comrade Zeguang, I'm sorry, I lost my composure." In order to cover up his gaffe just now, he had no choice but to flatter the other party: "It's not too short for me to be a revolutionist, and I have traveled through dozens of counties, but , This is really the first time I heard that our county guerrilla brigade has such great strength that it can force the reactionaries to negotiate... By the way, what do you want to talk to them about?"

"The superior instructed us that this time, we must try our best to gather food and other materials for the main force at all costs. I discussed it with Lao Zhao and felt that our Luoshui County is a poor place, and the people are very poor. Even if we mobilize everyone If you go to collect it, you won't get much, but it will add a lot of burden to the people..."

There is a sense of competition in this: even if our Luoshui County does not have much more materials than others, it must not be less than others. How can I save face?

"And Luoshui County has two rich places, one is the Qijiazhai in Wujialing, and the other is the county seat. However, the Qi family in Wujialing is not only large in number, but also has sufficient weapons and ammunition... To be honest, the Qi family's The strength is stronger than ours, and we may not be able to eat it in a short time. Therefore, we can only choose a county with similar strength as ours..."

Zhang Qingshan's eyes were dark about the specific situation in Luoshui County, so although he was a little surprised that someone in this county had more power than the county magistrate, he didn't pay much attention to it, and instead paid more attention to the county's movements.

"Do you think this negotiation has a high chance of success?"

"It shouldn't be too small." Hu Zeguang replied with a smile without even thinking about it, showing a bit of unconcealed pride in his smile: "The county magistrate is a literati, he is afraid of death, but he also likes to pay attention to face, and he is full of desire for power. I personally served as the head of the county security corps... Although the county security corps is stronger than our county guerrilla brigade in terms of numbers and equipment, it is full of soldiers. The soldiers brought out by such a fearful county magistrate are like paper Almost... Captain Zhang, Old Hu, let me tell you the truth: If we hadn't been organized to restrain ourselves and cooperate with the overall situation, and not be able to capture the county seat unless it was absolutely necessary, I would have led people to drive out that shitty county magistrate long ago Because of this, our guerrilla brigade in Luoshui County and the reactionaries in the county have always existed side by side. The inspection from their superiors... So, we don't speak up easily, but once we do, they have to give our guerrilla brigade face, otherwise, hum!"

Hearing the more domineering words of this person, Zhang Qingshan had a deeper understanding of the situation of the Luoshui County Guerrilla Brigade: The Luoshui County Guerrilla Brigade is really strong, and it dares to threaten the reactionary county government. rarity.

In fact, this is also benefited from the general trend!

In the Shaanxi-Gansu border region, Mao Zedong and others made the revolutionary cause flourish, and with the arrival of the Central Red Army later, the revolutionary cause in these places also flourished. At least, in many places, it was semi-open or even open. exist.

On the other hand, the county magistrate of Luoshui County had to work hard to cover the seat for the seat below his buttocks.There is another factor that Zhang Qingshan and the others will soon face - the Qi family!

Over time, this strange situation has been created.

And the result...
