march to victory

Singing, dancing, performances... The celebration scene was very lively, the laughter never stopped, and the cheers became higher and higher.

However, for Zhang Qingshan, his heart was sour, like the extreme reluctance of a daughter crying for marriage, but he knew there was nothing he could do.

Especially when he was speaking, Zhang Qingshan didn't cry at first, but seeing many soldiers wipe their tears, Zhang Qingshan finally couldn't help crying, his hoarse voice revealed the mixed feelings in his heart.Before he finished speaking, he ran out alone... Just like his children, the assault company was soaked in his painstaking efforts and innumerable fond memories of him.Now that he was about to leave, he always felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost his soul for a short time, and there was only an empty frame left, standing here alone.

But still the same sentence, "a soldier with iron battalion and flowing water", no matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave: firstly, he was promoted, which is a good thing.Secondly, time has changed, and I have to give up my position. I can't stay in the position of the commander of the assault company for the rest of my life without moving my butt, which will prevent the comrades behind from making progress.The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, isn't that what they said?

Tian Guozhong, the instructor of the assault company, and Qi Zixuan, the commander of the company, shed tears when they saw many comrades, but Zhang Qingshan ran away alone, so he must be hiding in a corner and crying bitterly. They both felt uncomfortable. After all, he is also his old comrade-in-arms, who will feel better after this separation?

But as the leaders of the current assault company, the two of them had to show their leadership skills.Therefore, Tian Guozhong stayed to appease the soldiers, and tried his best to let the female nurses sing and dance again to mobilize the atmosphere.

And Qi Zixuan hurriedly chased Zhang Qingshan.

Zhang Qingshan squatted on a small soil slope, heard footsteps behind him, quickly wiped away his tears, and looked back, it was Qi Zixuan, Zhou Baoyu, and Xiang Tao.

Xiang Tao originally wanted to follow Qi Zixuan carelessly, but was pulled back by Zhou Baoyu. After looking back at Zhou Baoyu, Xiang Tao thought for a while and realized: Sometimes, it is better not to see the leader's tears After all, no one likes to let others see their shameful side.

Qi Zixuan sat down next to Zhang Qingshan, didn't say anything, just took out a pack of cigarettes, handed Zhang Qingshan a cigarette, and then helped him light it up. Immediately, the two sat like this, blowing the wind, looking at the sky full of stars.

After a long time, Zhang Qingshan sighed and asked: "Old Qi, how many people are left from our class?"

Qi Zixuan thought for a while, and said: "The old squad leader died when he was in the Xiangxi base area, and the deputy squad leader fell on the road of the Long March... It seems that our old comrades in the first squad can only be transferred to the second platoon of the company to be the platoon leader. The old money is still there."

Zhang Qingshan nodded, sighed again, and said, "Yes, in our class, only the three of us are still alive... Heh! Heh! Alive."

Qi Zixuan didn't know what Zhang Qingshan's last words meant, but he didn't say anything, but glanced at Zhang Qingshan suspiciously.

"Old Qi, have you ever calculated how many comrades our assault company has sacrificed from the day the assault company was established to today?"

"I don't remember the exact number, but there are seven or eighty people, right?"

Zhang Qingshan glanced at him, shook his head, and said flatly: "One hundred and three people."

"So many?" Qi Zixuan looked at Zhang Qingshan in surprise. Seeing that Zhang Qingshan didn't answer, but looked up at the stars in the sky, he didn't know what to say... The largest number of assault companies was 140 seven people , but one hundred and three people were sacrificed back and forth, and this is not counting the disabled.Calculated in this way, no matter what, it is equivalent to changing the members of the assault company.

That is the special nature of the assault company. If you want to change to a different company, I am afraid that after the battle, even the number will be cancelled.

"If those sacrificed brothers can really turn into stars, I believe they are watching us right now."

Qi Zixuan didn't know what Zhang Qingshan's inexplicable words meant, and he was willing to wait for the next sentence, but Zhang Qingshan didn't continue, but Qi Zixuan had no choice but to accompany him to smoke... His main purpose now is to enlighten Zhang Qingshan. Based on Zhang Qingshan's words.

The two smoked cigarettes like gourds, until the cigarette was exhausted, Zhang Qingshan threw the cigarette butt, and said to Qi Zixuan: "Old Qi, after I leave, the assault company will be handed over to you...you are the assault Old man Lian, it’s no problem to clean up these thorns, and I don’t worry... from now on, if you have any difficulties, just come to me, I’m obliged!”

Zhang Qingshan talked endlessly, but some upside-down sentences reflected his complicated mood at the moment.

And Qi Zixuan just nodded vigorously, still didn't say much.In fact, he was very upset about Zhang Qingshan: Everyone knew exactly what kind of troops an assault company was. Qingshan has made great military achievements along the way, which is obvious to all. Now that he is transferred to the division headquarters, he is only a small staff officer?Isn't this an overkill, a rise in the open and a fall in the dark?As an old comrade in arms, he was of course indignant.

For this reason, Qi Zixuan and others even went to the head of the regiment to protest, and even went to the division headquarters to report it to the head of the division. They felt that it was very unfair... Head Tian Jingshan had some things to say to Zhang Qingshan in private, because he wanted to appease Zhang Qingshan , but I will never explain it to you in detail.It can't be said: This is because Zhang Qingshan needs to be reused in the organization, so let him practice more.In this way, is there still organizational discipline and the principle of confidentiality?Therefore, whether it is the head of the regiment Tian Jingshan or the teacher Liu Yongjiang, they only say that this is a decision after full consideration in the organization. I will report your feedback to the superiors, but I cannot guarantee the final result.

In the end, it was Zhang Qingshan himself who calmed everyone down.

Now, upon hearing Zhang Qingshan's words, Qi Zixuan remembered that Zhang Qingshan was going to be a staff officer, and his anger welled up all of a sudden, and he said in a deep voice, "Old Zhang, how about I go to the division to report? You are so unfair."

"Reflect what? I'm just a brick, and I can move it wherever the organization needs it. Lao Qi, don't mention this matter again. My only wish now is to see you make our assault better and better, and your reputation is getting better and better. Ring..." As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan looked at Qi Zixuan with a smile, and jokingly said: "If one day I find out that the Assault Company is in your old Qi's hands, you will fight back more and more, Lao Qi, I won't do it~!"

"You don't come here. I dare not say that I am better than you, but I can't be worse than you. Just wait and see."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan could only nod his head and wait and see.Immediately, he looked back at Zhou Baoyu and Xiang Tao who were standing about ten meters away, and said, "Xiang Tao, go get me some food and wine. Tonight, let's have a good meal, not only to celebrate Lao Tzu's promotion, but also Congratulations to our assault company becoming more and more powerful in the hands of Lao Qi and Lao Tian."

Xiang Tao responded, turned around and ran away.

"Baoyu, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come and sit."

After Zhou Baoyu happily ran over and sat next to Zhang Qingshan, Zhang Qingshan looked at him, touched his head, and said: "You are really a smart ghost, but you must grow up quickly."

Zhou Baoyu didn't understand what he meant, and stared at Zhang Qingshan with wide eyes.

But Zhang Qingshan turned his head and said to Qi Zixuan: "Old Qi, it is impossible for me to take these two guys with me when I go to the division headquarters. From now on, I will leave them to you."

Qi Zixuan glanced at Zhou Baoyu, who happened to meet Zhou Baoyu's eyes, smiled, and said to Zhang Qingshan: "Baoyu entered the assault company with him, and he is a veteran of the assault company. Naturally, I don't need to worry about it. That Xiang Tao saw Just a prick, eh! Just right for an assault company."

As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard this, he knew that Qi Zixuan had completely integrated into the position of commander of the assault company, and he really didn't need to worry about it anymore—ordinary people, who would say that their soldiers are assassins?And speaking in such a tone, it feels as if the assault company is dedicated to containing thorns, but the fact is that the assault company is indeed all thorns, and everyone is proud of it.

"Brother, although the assault company is very good, I don't want to be separated from you. Can I... can I go to the division headquarters with you?"

Seeing Zhou Baoyu lowering his head, but secretly raising his eyes to look at himself, with a pitiful pleading look, Zhang Qingshan sighed in his heart, touched Zhou Baoyu's head, and smiled kindly: "Baoyu, you are sixteen years old. right?"

"Ok!"

"You see, in a blink of an eye you will be a young man. But as men, we have to be able to hold and let go, and as a soldier, we have to obey orders and observe discipline... It's not that the elder brother won't take you, but Discipline does not allow, understand?"

After Zhou Baoyu nodded slightly, he lowered his head and remained silent, but soon, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and tears rolled down his face.

"Why are you crying? Brother is going to the division to study, and it's not that we can't meet each other, but it's just a little far away from the place where we live in the assault company. But as long as I have time, I will visit you, and you can also visit me. Very convenient."

Zhou Baoyu thought about it, and it was true, the sadness in his heart was much less.

Wiping away tears, raised his head, nodded solemnly to Zhang Qingshan, and said: "Yes! I will definitely visit you often."

"Also, in the assault company from now on, don't be so ostentatious and learn to hide your clumsiness, otherwise, if you get beaten up, Big Brother won't be able to help you regain face..."

"Hmm! I know. Brother, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you, I will not play tricks, and I will study culture and train hard with all my heart."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, and then said to Qi Zixuan: "Old Qi, Baoyu is a little out of touch sometimes, from now on, please be patient. If someone sees him as a child and bullies him for no reason, I won't do it." ~!"

Qi Zixuan handed Zhang Qingshan a cigarette with a smile, and said: "Old Zhang, you are too mother-in-law. Anyway, Baoyu joined the assault company with me. You can rest assured that he treats him like a younger brother."

"Thank you, Captain, I will definitely work hard."

Just like that, the three chatted, and soon, Xiang Tao ran back with a basket.

In fact, there are no dishes, just a plate of peanuts, a plate of mutton slices, a small plate of dried chili, and two small jars of wine.

As soon as Qi Zixuan saw the chili, he immediately grabbed one and put it in his mouth. He closed his eyes in satisfaction, and said while chewing, "Mmm! This chili is not bad. It's quite tasty."

As soon as Zhang Qingshan saw the wine, he picked it up and twisted the wooden lid, raised his head and drank a couple of sips, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Old Qi, this is the real good stuff."

Especially when climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, because of the lack of anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol has become a substitute. It can be said that Zhang Qingshan has not had alcohol for a long time. Whenever he sees alcohol, he looks like an alcoholic.And the three people next to him were almost the same, even Zhou Baoyu licked his lips, looking forward to it.

As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were set, Zhang Qingshan couldn't wait to pour wine for everyone.

"Come on, everyone, raise your wine bowls. This first bowl of wine is to honor those martyrs who shed blood and died for the cause of revolution! Do it!"

"Dry!"
