march to victory

"Head! Head!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw Li Honghui, the commander of the Second Battalion, leading two soldiers, running over quickly while shouting.

There was a pool of blood on the right side of Li Honghui's jacket, his face was disheveled, his forehead was still wrapped with a bloody cloth band, and he was carrying a cannon box.And the two behind him were not much stronger than him, and their bodies were no less bloodstained than Li Honghui's. It was obvious at a glance that they had just come off the battlefield.

Others may cheat in order to win sympathy and achieve their own goals.But Li Honghui won't, because he is calm and resolute, and he will never cheat like this.Well, since even he has been beaten like this, one can imagine how tragic the battle situation is below... You know, in order to achieve the final tactical goal, the Second Battalion almost bite the bullet and forcibly resist the little devil's once After six attacks, the little devil's six attacks were repelled.Although they were assisted by other troops, they were the main force to resist the attack of the little devils, so one could imagine their own casualties.

Tian Guozhong was startled, he hurried up to meet him, and asked with concern: "Old Li, are you injured?"

"It's not mine, it's a soldier's..." Li Honghui's eyes turned red when he said this, sad and distressed, and said in a deep voice, "I just hugged him like this and watched him close in my arms." Close your eyes. The last words on his deathbed, he still shouted that he must guard them. I... I am not good at being a battalion commander. I am sorry for him, and I am even more sorry for all the comrades in the Second Battalion..."

While talking, Li Honghui squatted on the ground, hugging his head and crying, it was really crying, which made everyone present feel bad.This is "a man who has tears does not flick it lightly, just because he has not reached the point of sadness"!

"Lao Li, we are all soldiers, we bleed but not cry..."

Tian Guozhong persuaded, but Li Honghui ignored him at all, and continued to squat on the ground crying, and even the two soldiers behind him were also wiping their tears... They are long-time comrades-in-arms, brothers in life and death, talking and laughing together in the morning Laugh, but now Yin and Yang are separated, who is not sad?

Zhang Qingshan looked at him with a stern expression, and asked lightly: "Old Li, you didn't come to me to perform a crying scene, did you? Tell me, what is your request?"

That's what he said, but Zhang Qingshan was praying in his heart: Don't come here to ask for soldiers!Not to mention rotation.

Upon hearing this, Li Honghui stood up, wiped away his tears with his sleeves, but his face was even more blurred.However, at this time, who would care about these?

"Head, I don't ask for anything else. I just ask you to let the second battalion keep a few seeds. You can't let our second battalion be defeated in this battle, right?"

Zhang Qingshan's heart sank, he was really afraid of something... At this time, seeing the little devil's spirit gradually lose, it won't be long before he can carry out the final counterattack and have a decisive battle with the little devil.At this point, if the reserves are sent up, it is likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.But the problem is, if reinforcements are not given to the Second Battalion, then whether the Second Battalion can defend against the little devil's next attack, not to mention public and private matters, is not easy to explain to the Second Battalion Commander alone.

"How many people are left in the second battalion?"

"I don't have time to make detailed statistics. However, when I came here, I took a look. In addition to the seriously wounded who were carried down, including the lightly wounded, there were only a hundred or so people in total..." Speaking of this, Li Honghui Thinking of those sacrificed soldiers, she shed tears in pain, and her voice became hoarse: "Commander, our second battalion has not even drank saliva since we fought in the morning... Even if I beg you, no matter it is Seeing that it is not easy to establish in the Second Battalion, or for the sake of our old relationship, let us take a rotation and take a break, shall we?"

"No!" Zhang Qingshan said coldly with a stern face: "At this time, your second battalion must not come down to rest. And I also told you that even if your second battalion fights to the last soldier, you have to defend me." position."

"Captain~!"

Looking at Li Honghui's desperate eyes, Zhang Qingshan felt even more heartbroken than him: the assault group was created and brought out by himself, and it can be said that he poured all his efforts into it.With such a high casualty rate in the Second Battalion, how could he not be heartbroken?But the problem is that now is the critical moment, and you must not act emotionally.As long as the final battle goal is achieved, even if the entire Second Battalion is wiped out, Zhang Qingshan has to grit his teeth... There is another reason why Zhang Qingshan disagrees: the little devil must send someone to watch the third line of defense, If the Second Battalion were to be withdrawn at this time, or given to Zeng Bing of the Second Battalion, they would definitely be discovered by the little devils.At that time, no matter if the little devil changes his tactics, or if the little devil thinks he has been duped and wants to run away, it will mean that the purpose of Zhang Qingshan's tactics will be invalidated, and all previous efforts will be wasted, and the expected result will definitely not be achieved.Then, the meaning of everything that has been paid before will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, at this time, even if you are fighting blood, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

"This is a military order!" Zhang Qingshan yelled almost gnashing his teeth, and with a livid face, he said word by word: "Even if the second battalion is defeated, you must hold the position for me, otherwise, even if I die, I will die." I will take you back and deal with it under military law!"

It made Li Honghui despair all of a sudden, but he gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Qingshan, and after three seconds of staring at Zhang Qingshan, his aura suddenly relaxed a lot.

"That's fine! Just send me some soldiers. I'll be sure to guard for a while..." At this point, Li Honghui's voice was quite low, but as if he had made a decision, he said: "In this way, even if Even if I die in battle, I can guard for a while longer, and if there are a few little devils, I, Li Honghui, can be regarded as worthy of the land under my feet."

At this moment, Zhang Qingshan was so moved that he almost opened his mouth to agree.It's just that the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back abruptly.

Just when Zhang Qingshan was about to sternly refuse and tell him to go back immediately, he saw Zhou Baoyu running over quickly: "Report to the head of the group, Sister Chen brought many villagers to express condolences to us, and there is a lot of food among them..."

Li Honghui's request was rejected, so he was naturally in a bad mood.Hearing this, he immediately said angrily: "Who is still in the mood to pay attention to food and drink at this time? What's going on?"

"Old Li, what are you talking about?" Tian Guozhong probably understood Zhang Qingshan's difficulties, and at this moment, he could only help Zhang Qingshan play a bad face: "The common people came to condolences and gave us food under fire. It is the greatest support for our Eighth Route Army. Do you understand?"

Li Honghui also knew that he was quick-spoken and panicked just now out of grief and indignation, and being criticized by Tian Guozhong, he could only lower his head and stop talking.

Tian Guozhong couldn't say anything more about him, so he had to say to Zhang Qingshan: "Old Zhang, you are here to command, and I will meet them. After all, this is the support of the common people for us, we can't..."

Unexpectedly, Tian Guozhong hadn't finished speaking yet, seeing Zhang Qingshan with his waist in his arms, he burst out laughing.

Laughing and laughing, finally tears came out of laughter.

However, it frightened the other comrades.

Even Li Honghui couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Old Zhang, are you... all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhang Qingshan smiled and wiped his tears, finally stopped his smile, but looked at the little devil's temporary barracks down the mountain with extremely excited eyes, and said forcefully: "It's still the party's foresight. Yes, as long as we closely rely on the common people and connect with the common people, we will be invincible!"

We are now on the battlefield, and we are fighting well, why did you suddenly mention this... None of the people present could understand the true meaning of such thought-provoking words.

This time, even Tian Guozhong was a little worried. Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, looking at Zhang Qingshan like this, even Yang Lei came out laughing. Moreover, he opened his mouth and said something that was absolutely inconsistent with the situation on the battlefield in front of him. He couldn't help thinking about it.

"Old Zhang, you don't feel a little bit confused because of the wind and cold, right? Okay, how do you say this?"

"Old Tian, ​​if you want to say that I am crazy, go crazy, even if you say that I am a ghost. But you are good, why are you cursing me around the corner? This is not your old Tian's style."

Hearing that Zhang Qingshan can still make jokes, people close to Zhang Qingshan understand: Zhang Qingshan is not crazy, let alone some ghost, but because he has thought of a way to deal with the troubles in front of him, so he is so happy for a while .

Therefore, Tian Guozhong and Li Honghui all showed smiles, but their eyes were fixed on Zhang Qingshan.

"Old Zhang, tell me quickly, what method did you think of?"

Tian Guozhong on the side also patted Zhang Qingshan's flattery: "Old Zhang, no wonder people say you are quick-witted. The current situation, in my opinion, is a dead end. I didn't expect you to have a way to break it. Come on, talk to your comrades."

"This is thanks to Baoyu's report just now!"

"I?"

Zhou Baoyu pointed to his nose and looked at Zhang Qingshan in surprise.Seeing Zhang Qingshan nodding his head with a smile, he lowered his head in embarrassment.Scratching the back of his head, he raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qingshan in confusion.

"Old Li, you said just now that we didn't drink a drop of water from morning till night, right?"

Zhang Qingshan took out his cigarettes, passed them around, lit a cigarette, and looked at Li Honghui while talking.

After Li Honghui nodded, he smiled and said: "We are tired and hungry, but so are the gang of little devils in front of us! They came all the way from Baoyuan County in a hurry, and they are on the attacking side. In terms of physical strength, we But it’s cheaper to stand up. Besides, like us, they also haven’t got a drop of water..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help showing his joy, with a slightly smug smile: "At this time, they are tired and hungry, and they have to keep attacking us. It can be said that their physical strength is more exhausted than ours. Much more. And now we have the support of the common people, and we have sent food and drink. Then, we can just pick up the food and eat it, and then we will have the energy to continue working with the little devil. However, the little devil wants to fill his stomach. We have to start a fire and cook. Otherwise, comparing the two, their physical strength will only become worse and worse than ours, and in the end, they will definitely fall under this usually inconspicuous factor."

After listening for a long time, Li Honghui didn't realize that this had anything to do with his purpose of coming here, but Zhang Qingshan smiled so confidently and happily, he was a little anxious: "Head, I understand everything you said. But then It must take longer to see the effect, but we are about to face the next attack of the little devil. My little man... Captain, to be honest, even the remaining hundred or so of our second battalion Everyone died in battle, and I don't have the confidence to resist the little devil's full charge again."

"Charge with all your strength? Hmph! They're so beautiful." Zhang Qingshan looked at the little devil's temporary barracks with disdain, and said flatly, "I'm afraid they will die without thinking that they will die just because of this food~!"

People are even more puzzled...
