march to victory

Facts proved Zhang Qingshan's vision!

One day after more than half a year, when Hu Zeguang went to a meeting with the superior department, he specially told Zhao Wu to be careful when he left, not to move around for a few days, and everything will be discussed after he returns from the meeting.

Zhao Wu nodded and agreed in person, but when Hu Zeguang went out, he led someone to beat the county magistrate with a thousand rounds of ammunition.

As a result, as Zhang Qingshan predicted, the county magistrate agreed in person and asked them to come to pick up the weapons on the third day.Then, on the evening of the third day, when Zhao Wu brought dozens of people to pick up weapons as promised, they, who were somewhat paralyzed, were surrounded by a large group of enemies. After a bloody battle, except for two soldiers who broke out, the rest All the heroic sacrifices of the 23 martyrs... One thing has to be said, all of these [-] martyrs died in battle, and none of them surrendered, which is worthy of the reputation of the Red Army that they are not afraid of death.

Hu Zeguang cried when he heard the bad news!

But the magistrate of the county just ran away... As Hu Zeguang said, the magistrate went directly to the provincial capital, used the heads of 23 people, including Zhao Wu, to obtain rewards from his superiors, and was transferred to the rear area of ​​Chengdu, Sichuan to do the job He became an idle official, and lived in seclusion from then on... For a while, no one could do anything about him.

Fengming County!

Located in the north of Luoshui County, the two counties meet for about forty miles, which is considered close...By the way, Wujialing, where Qijiazhai is located, is just behind the two counties. From the map, three places just formed A long triangle.

Luoshui County is very poor, but its neighbor Fengming County is very rich. To be precise, Fengming County used to compete with Luoshui County in terms of poverty, but now, Fengming County has richer families than Luoshui County. There are many counties, and the key point is that during the large-scale prospecting in the early years of the Republic of China, it was discovered that there were gold mines in Fengming County. far away.

"The iron-clad Qi family, the flowing county magistrate!" '

This common saying among the local people tells who is actually at the helm of the county—Fengming County is second to none, a unique and aristocratic family, Qi Family.

As for why the Qi family did not launch a political attack on Luoshui County, just one sentence: too poor, no benefits, so dismissive.

That is to say, in the early years of the Republic of China, when the land boundaries were re-divided, Wujialing, where the headquarters of the Qi family was located, was assigned to Luoshui County. Otherwise, the overall economic strength of Luoshui County would be outstripped by Fengming County by ten blocks.

The Qi family is very smart and never gets involved in the position of county magistrate in Fengming County, but the head of the security team in this county has always been the head of the Qi family, and the current deputy head is Qi Wuyun, the eldest son of the head of the Qi family. ——Needless to say more about the nature and quality of this security group.The director of the tax bureau is the second younger brother of the head of the family, and the chairman of the chamber of commerce is the cousin of the head of the Qi family... In a word: Here, you can treat the county magistrate as farting, but who dares to disobey the Qi family?

but!

From a revolutionary point of view, Luoshui County and Fengming County have just switched places again: the guerrilla brigade in Luoshui County is flourishing, and even Zhang Qingshan dared to blatantly rip off the county magistrate. Three or four hundred young adults.But Fengming County is just the opposite. The revolutionary cause in this county can be described as ups and downs, and at one point had to hide or even evacuate.The main reason is that in order to maintain control of the county's gold mines, the Qi family not only spends a lot of money to arm the county security team, but also makes every effort to deal with the guerrillas and potential economic opponents. , the people below are relatively united, and the top has made good friends with the KMT's dignitaries, so there are much fewer loopholes in this way.

Now, I heard that the main force of the Red Second Front Army is coming. In order to keep their territory, the Qi family has spent all their money, not only using their connections, but also spending money like water. The brigade came to be stationed in the county seat—although it is related to the overall situation of the Kuomintang, it can also be seen from this that the Qi family has deep roots.

Taking advantage of the time when the troops had just finished their meal and took a short break, Zhang Qingshan gathered Hu Zeguang, Zhao Wu, the two guides sent by the Guerrilla Brigade of Fengming County, and several main cadres under him for a meeting. .

After hearing this, everyone didn't know how to speak, so they just smoked dull cigarettes.

Everyone knows that with their hundreds of people now, not to mention heavy weapons, some guerrillas even hold wooden sticks as weapons. With such equipment and numbers, attacking Fengming County, where a regular army is stationed, is tantamount to Come to die.But the problem is, if you don't attack the county, how can you get urgently needed supplies such as medicines?Unless the Red Second Front Army sends the main force over, they can win the battle. But the problem is, Zhang Qingshan and others are thinking in their hearts: if they encounter a hard bone, they will run home and cry for their fathers and mothers, and we need our special operations team do what?Doesn't it seem that we people are too incompetent?

Zhang Qingshan frowned and smoked, but his eyes were fixed on the two points on the map, looking back and forth.

After smoking three cigarettes in a row, even Zhang Qingshan couldn't bear the interference of his mouth. He threw the cigarette butt to his side and looked at the map, but found something by accident.

Xiang Tao, who was standing beside him holding a torch to light up, snatched the torch from his hand.Then I brought the torch closer to the map, and scanned and tracked the 'triangle' on the map back and forth, and the torch light stopped on the small black spot 'Wujialing'... Everyone was running out of ideas, and suddenly saw Zhang Qingshan made a movement, and immediately felt hopeful, so he looked over carefully, and then his eyes followed Zhang Qingshan's movement.

In the end, seeing that Zhang Qingshan stopped the torch at the place 'Wujialing' on the map and did not move, they were even more confused.But there is one thing that makes them very curious: the torch in Zhang Qingshan's hand is parked on the 'Wujialing'. Judging from the whole posture and the clear black and white of the torch light shining on it, it definitely fits the name of a gangster - black under the lamp!

Liu Bing looked at Zhang Qingshan in astonishment, and said in surprise: "Old Zhang, you don't mean you want to attack the Qi family in Wujialing?"

"The lesser of two evils!" Zhang Qingshan didn't nod or deny, but said with a wry smile: "Just our special operations brigade plus the two county brigades of Luoshui County and Fengming County to attack an enemy Fengming County, where the regular brigade is stationed, is no different from hitting a stone with an egg, and there is absolutely no benefit at all. This kind of loss-making business, no matter what I say, I, Zhang Qingshan, will never do it."

Everyone nodded in approval.At the same time, everyone's eyes were still fixed on Zhang Qingshan, wondering why he wanted to attack Wujialing.

"Everyone knows what our mission is this time, so we naturally understand how heavy the burden is on us. Among other things, just the western medicine that the hospital urgently needs is one of the main purposes of our coming out this time. Otherwise..." At this point, Zhang Qingshan deliberately paused, sighed, and said: "I don't know how many wounded and sick comrades will be lost because we didn't get the medicine, or even didn't send the medicine in time. Life or disability. Therefore, comrades, no matter what this time, even if we risk our lives, we must get the medicines, food, cloth, etc. that everyone is looking forward to, the daily necessities that the army urgently needs."

Seeing everyone's solemn faces, everyone felt the seriousness of the problem. Zhang Qingshan was very satisfied, but he continued to say: "Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang (the guides sent by Fengming County) have just introduced you. I heard you. The Qi family in Wujialing, the bullies and other evil things, I won’t say much, I just pay attention to one point: Wujialing is the old nest of the Qi family, and there is a large amount of food and ammunition, as well as medicines and other daily necessities that we urgently need. Take it, the materials they hoarded are enough to support our Red Second Front Army for a long time, and we will be able to go home and complete the mission victoriously..."

"I know what you want to ask, but think about it, no matter how powerful the Qijiazhai in Wujialing is, it is much easier to deal with it than to deal with a county with a regular brigade stationed now, right? For this, I am willing to go to Qijiazhai to try. What do you think?"

It was only then that everyone remembered the meaning of Zhang Qingshan's opening sentence, "The lesser of two evils!" After thinking about it carefully, it was true: We hundreds of people want weapons or no weapons, equipment or equipment, and equipment. The training is also uneven. In such a situation, it is difficult to put it bluntly when dealing with a regular brigade garrisoned and a county with a thick wall. It's the same as catching a turtle in a urn - in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile.

On the other hand, even if the Qijia Village is well-defended, there are still loopholes to exploit. Moreover, their numbers, weapons and equipment, personnel training, and individual quality are absolutely impossible to compare with that regular brigade. Therefore, everyone is planning. After that, it is possible to really win Qijiazhai.Taking [-] steps back, anyway, if you are determined to do it, then the possibility of winning Qijiazhai is far greater than winning the county seat.

Moreover, there is another key reason that Zhang Qingshan didn't say, but everyone thought of it: the materials hoarded in the county town are definitely not as much as the materials hoarded in Qijiazhai. After all, it is the lair of a century-old family.

Everyone nodded, but just when Zhang Qingshan asked everyone to make their own suggestions, but everyone was frowning, and it was obvious that there was nothing they could do, but they saw that Xiao Li looked at everyone, and finally summoned up his courage, saying: "Captain Zhang, I have There is a way, I wonder if I can say it?"

"The two of you are invited here to hear the most direct information from your locals, of course you can say it."

"Actually, we don't have to think about the defense of the Qi family village, and we don't need to attack directly. We can let the people of the Qi family obediently take out all the supplies we need. It's just..."

Everyone who heard this kind of big talk was shocked, and they couldn't believe it. After all, everyone thought about it for so long, but no one came up with a relatively perfect plan, and no one dared to make such a fuss.

But Zhang Qingshan believed that it was because the other party was not high-ranked, and he dared to brag about such a big cowhide in front of so many veterans like captains and company commanders. His strategy must have a good side, otherwise, dare to molested With so many leaders, there is no need to talk about the end.

"Xiao Li, didn't you speak very frankly before, why are you hesitating now? Just say what you have to say, and don't blame you if you say something wrong. Even if there are any deficiencies, everyone can help you improve. After all, we now It’s a brainstorming discussion.”

"Okay! Then I'll be straight."
