march to victory

"Captain, I...I..."

Even though Zhang Qingshan is the head of the regiment and Hu Yingze is the political commissar, the assault regiment has long been cultivated into the arrogance of "the best in the world", but if you want to say who is the most arrogant in the entire regiment, it is definitely the first battalion commander Liu Bing.

This guy didn't finish college, but he joined the army and participated in the revolution. No matter in terms of cultural level or experience in commanding and fighting, he was counted among the entire assault regiment.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about his experience in leading soldiers: when he was crossing the grassland, no matter how hard Zhang Qingshan tried, but the soldiers he led, a lot of them in the end, voluntarily returned to the team with him.Just focus on this, and you will know that Liu Bing is good at leading troops.Therefore, when the assault regiment was established, Zhang Qingshan appointed him as a general, and specifically asked him to be the deputy head of the assault regiment and the commander of the first battalion, which showed how much he valued him.

Of course, it is precisely because of the strong friendship that everyone established while crossing the grass that Liu Bing is willing to come to the assault group. Otherwise, with Liu Bing's arrogance, maybe he really won't come... Others There are all kinds of arrogance, but Liu Bing's arrogance is in his bones.

However, now, Liu Bing, who was lying on the stretcher, struggled to sit up, and saluted Zhang Qingshan. As soon as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't continue speaking coherently... This battle , The first battalion fought extremely tenaciously, but it was also extremely tragic. There were 750 people in the whole battalion, and the casualties reached 340, which can be said to be more than half of the casualties.These were all soldiers brought out by Liu Bing, and more than half of them were killed in one battle. He was really distressed.Otherwise, with his arrogance, it is absolutely impossible for him to have red eyes, let alone be speechless.

"I know, I know..." Zhang Qingshan hurried forward, lifted the quilt covering Liu Bing's body, saw that the wound on Liu Bing's left waist was treated well, and asked with concern: "How is it? Does it matter?"

"Regimental Commander, I'm fine, but I was scratched a little by the shrapnel..." Liu Bing touched the corner of his eye secretly, and after a quick reply, he choked up again: "But, Commander, more than half of our battalion casualties, There are many comrades who... all..."

"Old Liu, don't be sad. In war, how can anyone not die? Otherwise, do we still need soldiers to defend our home and country?" Zhang Qingshan was also heartbroken, but seeing Liu Bing's grief, he naturally I have to restrain the pain in my heart and comfort Liu Bing and the soldiers of the first battalion.

"Regimental Commander, it's all my fault for not commanding well, otherwise, the casualties would not be so heavy...Regimental Commander, I request the regiment to punish me for this command error!"

Of course Zhang Qingshan knew what Liu Bing meant by the command error: the original plan was to wait for the little devils from Baoyuan County to enter the ambush circle, and the new regiment would be responsible for annihilating the little devils, and the first battalion of the assault regiment would only be responsible for setting up the camp. Pocket, just block the back of this little devil.

However, Naoi Yamaguchi knew that he had been fooled when he received the news of the attack on the county seat from the telegram.In this way, the first battalion of the assault regiment changed from a helper to a main force, enduring the onslaught of the little devils.

To be honest, whether it is personnel or equipment, the First Battalion cannot compare with the more than 1000 little devils brought by Yamaguchi Naoi.Although there was a new regiment beating the little devils behind, Naoi Yamaguchi, who was determined, did not care about his back at all, and only sent a small number of people to intercept the onslaught of the new regiment, and attacked the first battalion with all his strength...the first battalion had no way, One can only use life to make up for the deficiency, so there will be such a large casualty.

In Liu Bing's eyes, he didn't expect the little devil to attack so suddenly, or in other words, even if he expected it, he was not prepared enough-in fact, there was nothing to prepare for.Therefore, he believed that this was caused by his own improper command, so he blamed himself very much.

Just as Zhang Qingshan was about to speak, he heard someone beside him say: "Xiao Liu, what you said is wrong. You commanded this battle properly and led your comrades to fight bravely and tenaciously... In my opinion, not only should you not be criticized and Punishment should be commended instead.”

Zhang Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was ***, the leader of the new regiment.

"Old Zhang, don't look at me like that. I know. This is your commando's housework. Normally, I shouldn't intervene. But, if you talk about other things, I really can't say anything, but you have to say The matter of this battle is related to me, so I have to say something fair: I don’t know anything else, but for this battle, you must give great credit to all the commanders and fighters of the first battalion.”

Although the leader of the new regiment, *** is also an old Red Army veteran who climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, but Zhang Qingshan didn't know him at all before.It was only later that we became neighbors, so we could move around. In this way, Zhang Qingshan only saw him twice.In Zhang Qingshan's eyes, *** is a straightforward, but very principled person. As for the combat command ability, it is not clear... Of course, in the eyes of Zhang Qingshan, who is equally proud in his heart, this ***'s combat skills The command ability is absolutely inferior to my own: the new regiment and the independent regiment were established almost one and a half months later than the assault regiment, but the strength of the new regiment is not even comparable to the independent regiment, let alone the assault Team comparison.From this point of view, Zhang Qingshan decided that it was difficult to say about other aspects of the Communist Party, but the ability to command operations, or to say, the ability to create, was definitely not comparable to his own.

However, at this time, someone gave him a step, of course Zhang Qingshan had to welcome it, no, Zhang Qingshan took out a cigarette on his own initiative, and after a round for everyone, he even personally helped Mao Zedong and Liu Bing light their cigarettes.

"Old Zhang, you also know that I have been busy with your one-acre three-point land. I haven't had much contact with your assault group, and I don't know much about your assault group. Therefore, many people told me before I am still somewhat unconvinced by how famous your assault regiment is, how powerful it is, and how fierce it is in battle. However, after this battle, I really admire your assault regiment’s combat capabilities. From the first battalion, you can see the strength of your assault group..."

Speaking of this, *** took a deep breath, and his tone became a bit lower: "At that time, the little devil suddenly turned his gun and attacked your battalion, but our new regiment was unable to provide strong support for a while, don't you You know, I was worried to death at that time, I was afraid that Xiao Liu and the others would not be able to withstand it, and if this group of little devils broke through the defense line, it would not only be a failure on our front line, but also affect the blocking battle between the main group and the independent group... Give me an example!"

"At that time, the little devil led the way with two armored vehicles in an attempt to break through Xiao Liu's line of defense... I saw with my own eyes through the binoculars that two groups of soldiers rushed towards the two armored vehicles of the little devil...the last soldier fell down. More than ten meters in front of the armored vehicle, at that time, everyone thought he had died. However, no one expected that when the armored vehicle was about to pass by him, he jumped up suddenly, pulled off the fuse of the explosive package, and directly I rushed to the front of the armored vehicle, grabbed the armored vehicle with one hand, and held the explosive package in the other... At that time, I was thinking, if I were replaced by him, would I be so brave if I knew that I would be able to survive as long as I continued to lie down? ?”

After finishing speaking, *** looked at Liu Bing, who was already in tears, and asked, "Xiao Liu, do you know that soldier?"

Liu Bing nodded while wiping his tears, choked up and said: "That soldier is Peng Fang, a recruit from the third company, one row and one squad... He is a local. When he first joined the army, he couldn't shoot a gun no matter what. For three days... he was deeply impressed, I never thought that he had only been in the army for three or four months, and... just... oh~! How should I explain to his parents~!"

As he spoke, Liu Bing began to cry loudly while beating his chest.Even with it, many soldiers wiped their tears, not to mention anything else, just the comrades who got along day and night, all of a sudden disappeared, who is not sad, who is not angry?This is the friendship of the Chinese army.In the words of modern people: the way to anger the Chinese army is very simple, you only need to let his comrades see their blood, and it is guaranteed to anger all the soldiers, turning these soldiers into lions in an instant, avenging their comrades regardless of their own life and death.

Seeing Liu Bing beating his chest in pain, Mao Zedong grabbed his hand and comforted him: "Xiao Liu, don't blame yourself so much, in fact, you have already commanded very well... To put it bluntly, if it weren't for you If you command properly, I am afraid that not only half of the battalion will be lost, but the entire army will be wiped out, and the outcome of the entire battle will inevitably change significantly. Therefore, you should not blame yourself at all, but should be proud. If it is not at a critical moment You went into battle in person, fought hard to get injured, and led the comrades of the first battalion. You used your own blood and life to forcefully block the little devil's offensive momentum, forcing the little devil to find another way out. The result of this battle It’s really hard to say, so you have made great achievements!”

Zhang Qingshan also quickly comforted him in a low voice, although Zhang Qingshan's heart was also bleeding, but whoever called him the leader of the regiment had to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the regiment leader, especially now when everyone is sad.

After a while, seeing that Liu Bing had stopped crying, Zhang Qingshan quickly walked up the stairs, and when everyone could see him, Zhang Qingshan shouted with all his strength: "I am the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Order all the commanders and fighters of the Xinyi Regiment and the First Battalion of the Assault Regiment to stand at attention~!"

Whether they were resting on the spot, or walking in silence, or the soldiers who lowered their heads and wiped their tears, they all quickly stood at attention and looked at Zhang Qingshan.

"You all raise your heads up for me!"

No one expected that Zhang Qingshan's first sentence would be like this, asking everyone to raise their heads.

"That's not enough, let me raise my head...higher...higher. Yes! That's it."

After everyone raised their heads high, Zhang Qingshan continued with satisfaction: "I just can't figure it out, have you lost the battle, or are you ashamed to see others? Why are you all so downcast and crying so much? You know, you have won a battle... Yes, many comrades who have been with you day and night have died, but have you ever thought about it? Use your own blood to prove that you are worthy of the word "soldier..." Comrades sacrificed, comrades-in-arms take a step first, then it is time for us to continue to follow their footsteps, otherwise, we still need to do What? What else do soldiers need?"

Zhang Qingshan stared at everyone and shouted...
