march to victory

"Beep! Beep~! Beep..."

As soon as the wake-up call sounded, Zhang Qingshan sat up habitually, before opening his eyes, he patted his head with a splitting headache, opened his mouth and shouted: "Baoyu, bring me..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan opened his eyes suddenly, then patted his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "Forgot, forgot, I am now the staff officer of the division, not in the assault company, enjoying special treatment." ~! But I really can’t drink like this anymore, I forgot everything about last night, I hope I didn’t make a fool of myself.”

Immediately while dressing and getting off the bed, he glanced around, only to realize that he was lying in a wool tile room, looking at the messy firewood around him, and then at the thin quilt under him, there was actually a Thatched grass, Zhang Qingshan reckoned that this should be a woodshed.And the reason why I am here is probably because I drank too much last night and was sent back.However, there must be Zhou Baoyu among the people who sent him back, because only Zhou Baoyu knew that he couldn't sleep without a pillow - he didn't see that his coat was neatly folded and placed under his head.

I don't know who prepared it for him. There is even water in the washbasin in the firewood room. Although it is cold, looking at the water, Zhang Qingshan can't help feeling a little emotional: I really left the assault company!At this moment, I was really uncomfortable.

Perhaps, only the big backpack at the feet, which is only for the assault company, can show that he was once a member of the assault company... It can be regarded as a kind of thought.

Quickly washed up, and finally took the box cannon and put it on the holster on his waist. He was about to go out, but he was taken aback, patted his head and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly picked up his backpack and other things to go out: Damn, I am now It's the staff officer, not the commander of the assault company... The commander of the assault company naturally has to go to the assembly point in advance to assemble the team, and then do some routine things like inspections and training.But as a staff officer, relatively speaking, he really needs a lot of leisure, at least, he doesn't have to wake up so early - what Zhang Qingshan is doing now is just a long-term habit.The reason for carrying the backpack is because the large army is going to Huining to join forces early this morning.

When I went out to see, I found that I was sleeping in a side room next to the division headquarters - I turned a corner and walked about [-] meters to the division headquarters.

However, seeing people coming and going in and out of the division headquarters, some were jogging in such a hurry, looking busy.

Zhang Qingshan quickly walked to the door and looked inside, he was really busy inside, but he was not busy deploying anything, but was busy moving houses and demolishing maps, red flags and other things.Zhang Qingshan, who was about to put down his backpack and go in to help, straightened his clothes immediately, stood at attention, and shouted: "Report!"

Everyone was busy with their heads down. Although they exchanged a few words occasionally, they kept their voices low and low, which made the whole division look like a lot of people, but their voices were very low.However, Zhang Qingshan's roar shocked everyone, and turned their heads involuntarily.

Zhang Qingshan did not expect that his normal report would cause such a big reaction.Seeing everyone looking over one after another, Zhang Qingshan gave a rare embarrassing smile and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's Xiao Zhang! Come here quickly."

Zhang Qingshan heard the sound and looked over, it turned out to be Chief of Staff Wang of the division, this is an old acquaintance, Zhang Qingshan hurried over.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Zhang Qingshan will report to you."

Chief of Staff Wang returned the military salute casually, and then said with a smile: "Don't do this with me."

After finishing speaking, he put away the materials in his hand, and after telling the people around him, "Go ahead", he brought Zhang Qingshan to a desk two or three meters away.

The two sat down.

Chief of Staff Wang took out a pack of cigarettes, handed Zhang Qingshan a cigarette, and asked, "How is it? Did you sleep well?"

"Chief of Staff, I drank a bit too much with the comrades of the assault company yesterday. I woke up this morning, and I didn't know how I got back... Heh! Heh! I'm really not used to it. When I woke up , I got up in a hurry, thinking to hurry to gather for training, and then I remembered, now, I am a member of our division."

"It's normal, everyone is the same." Chief of Staff Wang lit a match, and after the two of them lit their cigarettes, he took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid to tell you that it was the first time I left my mother's home (old army)" At the time, it was really turning back three times at one step, if it wasn't for fear of people seeing the joke, I would have cried on the spot..."

Zhang Qingshan nodded solemnly, agreeing with Chief of Staff Wang's words in his heart.

Suddenly, Zhang Qingshan's mind turned, and he immediately cast his admiration for Chief of Staff Wang's methods: He is his immediate boss, and he will take heart and soul out of himself when he meets him, and he still speaks out like a self-exposing family scandal, which makes people Feeling close—just a few words made Zhang Qingshan feel like a confidant, is there even a need for such a method?

"However, we are all revolutionary comrades, and all actions are under command... Wherever it is most needed, it is natural to go there, but the division of labor is different. Xiao Zhang, do you understand this truth?"

First he was three points short, and then enlightened. In this way, Zhang Qingshan not only did not have any resistance, but took it for granted. Although the facts were the same, it also showed the political skills of Chief of Staff Wang.

"Chief of Staff, I understand."

"That's fine, let's get down to business." Chief of Staff Wang moved closer and said, "Xiao Zhang, let me tell you the truth, I personally named you to stay in the division headquarters, do you know why?"

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over in confusion, Chief of Staff Wang said with a smile: "I have long heard that you are a general of Yuanfu, and that you have some tricks to lead troops to fight by surprise. Everyone is blessed with your blessing. So, from now on, you kid must do your best to give our seventeenth division commander a good face, and don't let other divisions laugh at you, you know?"

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, although I have no skills, I promise that I will do my best to fulfill my duties."

"That's good!" Chief of Staff Wang slapped his thigh and applauded with a smile.Then he asked, "Xiao Zhang, can you draw military maps?"

"Yes! I have studied in night school, and I have also studied with others."

"Hmm!" Chief of Staff Wang nodded, and said to Zhang Qingshan seriously: "Everyone is busy packing things now, you just came here, and you are not familiar with these things. How about it, I happen to have something to do here, and you are the only one. "

"Yes! Please order the chief of staff, I promise to complete the task."

"You just mark all the places we are going to pass on the map."

"what?"

Zhang Qingshan couldn't help being a little surprised: how easy it is to draw a map, and it only needs to mark the places where the large troops pass by. Such a task can be done leisurely by finding someone who can draw military maps, sitting in a carriage... ...Zhang Qingshan is still very uncomfortable, because he was in the assault company, and he was doing highly dangerous tasks as pioneers, but he suddenly came here to work as a clerical job. It's normal not to.The point is that he was self-inflated, thinking that he was reused in the assault company and was named to the division headquarters, so he should be reused even more in the division headquarters, but he never thought that the first task was to draw a map.

"Ah what? Do you think this is a good job?"

Zhang Qingshan couldn't accept it for a while, he was indeed a bit resistant, but it was hard to show it.Helpless, I had to watch Chief of Staff Wang remain silent.

"Why do you think I sent you to do it alone?"

As he said that, without giving Zhang Qingshan a chance to answer, Chief of Staff Wang glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he whispered to Zhang Qingshan: "Here, there are many people who play with pens, and everyone can draw military maps. , but do you know that the military map I want you to draw must be kept absolutely secret, and even regiment-level cadres have no right to know it, do you understand?"

Zhang Qingshan looked at him suspiciously, but thought angrily in his heart: Don't think that I can lie to me because I don't read enough. Although you give orders, I will carry them out. There is nothing I can do about it, but I will never be fooled by you ideologically. .

"Looking at the way you roll your eyes, I know that you are definitely not convinced in your heart. You think I'm deceiving you, and you think that I will use this kind of thing to fool you as soon as you come here, and give you a bad blow, right? Then let me tell you, I am really serious." I didn’t lie to you, and there’s no need to give the person I’ve personally named to come… Let me tell you, not only our division, but also several other divisions, will specially select a comrade with high political and ideological consciousness, and alone To complete this glorious mission..." After finishing speaking, he explained briefly in a low voice.

It turned out that this was an order from the Central Red Army. To put it bluntly, it had the same meaning: everyone passed by here, and marked out the map in detail to prepare for the expansion of the base area in the future.

As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard this explanation, he immediately became serious.

Stand up and apologize to Chief of Staff Wang: "Chief of Staff, I was too impulsive just now, I'm sorry..."

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

After Zhang Qingshan sat down, Chief of Staff Wang said with a smile: "I can't blame you, I didn't make it clear earlier... Well, now that you know the reason, you should complete the task well."

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission."

"Only the political commissar, the division commander and I know about this matter... remember the principle of confidentiality."

"Yes!"

……

Soon, Zhang Qingshan was holding a large bundle of materials, paper and pens, with a serious face, his eyes were scrambling, as if he was guarding against others snatching his things at any time, he left the division headquarter in fear, and returned to his woodshed middle.

After finishing the details, tie them up with a rope and carry them out with you—since Chief of Staff Wang attaches so much importance to this matter and reminds him again and again, then, as his first task when he arrives at the division headquarters, he must You must behave well, and it is naturally necessary to carry it with you, otherwise, once it is leaked, it will be a big trouble.

But Zhang Qingshan is a veteran after all, and he is a smart commander.

No, he came to his senses as soon as his left foot stepped over the threshold of the woodshed, and his right foot hadn't even left the ground.

He slapped his thigh, raised his head and yelled: "Damn it, I was fooled by him. This is... tsk tsk, what a good trick."

Regardless of whether it is a task assigned by the central government or not, no matter how confidential the task is, this kind of thing cannot be done by Zhang Qingshan, a newcomer who has just been transferred to the division headquarters and his ass is not hot yet. It is said that among the people in the division, which one is not more trustworthy than a newcomer like him?Speaking from experience, there are tens of thousands of pens in the division. Who doesn't have more experience in drawing maps than Zhang Qingshan?From the perspective of confidentiality, intimacy, etc., no matter how you look at it, Zhang Qingshan will be the last one. Therefore, there is only one possibility, Zhang Qingshan was indeed fooled by Chief of Staff Wang.

The reason why Zhang Qingshan was able to be fooled was mainly because he had just come to report, and he was quite nervous. Therefore, when the leader said in a pleasant manner that this was a highly confidential task, he didn't think about it elsewhere.

Zhang Qingshan, who came back from the memory, threw the bundled materials together with the backpack back to the woodshed, and strode towards the kitchen...
