Because of the multi-karst landform in the basin, Chishui is named after "the water rises in case of rain, and the color is deep and red". In the past, it was not called this name, the Han Dynasty called Da Wading, the Jin Dynasty called Anle Water, and the Tang Dynasty was also known as the Chiyu River. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was called Chishui, which originated at the northern foot of Wumeng Mountain in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan, and flowed north through eastern Yunnan and flowed between Sichuan and Guizhou provinces.

In mid-January 1935, on the banks of the Chishui River, it was rainy and the dirt road was slippery. Just a dozen miles away from Chishui, a slightly embarrassed army was temporarily stationed here - the Red Army.

In a makeshift barracks that had been hastily erected, three or five Red Army soldiers were standing, looking very anxious. Among them was a female soldier, who was carrying a medicine box with a large red cross, apparently a doctor.

The female doctor's face was very tired, and her complexion was slightly dark due to the sun's excessive radiation, but her appearance was very thoughtful, she took her hand away from the forehead of a young man who looked about twenty years old on a white stretcher, shook her head, and said suspiciously: "Strange, the burning has receded, why have you been in a coma for two days and still not awake?" ”

"Doctor, lesbian, please, you must save me Brother Han, I will kneel for you."

"Don't, don't, wait! Maybe he'll wake up soon......" The female doctor was startled by the simple black man, and her tired look was even swept away, and she comforted her.

"Really, really?" The honest black man was a strong man, and he was still a young man when he looked closely, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and grinned at a calm man behind him, revealing white bright teeth that clearly contrasted with his complexion, and said: "Squad leader, the doctor said that I Brother Han is fine, I must be fine, I can't live without Brother Han's ......"

The squad leader's name is Xu Bao, a nearly forty-year-old veteran of the Red Army, he didn't speak, he was silent for a while, finally sighed, shook his head and said: "Erniu, we can't wait any longer, there is already an order from above, and we will cross the Chishui soon...... We...... I'm afraid ......"

"No, we can't be like this, we can't leave Brother Han alone, you leave me a gun, I'll be here, and I'll guard it until Brother Han wakes up."

"You...... Alas......" The third squad leader Xu Bao's brows furrowed deeply, as the squad leader of this honest young man Li Erniu and Han Xin, who was lying on a stretcher unconscious, how could he not want his soldiers to be good, not to mention that these are still two recruits, for recruits, there are requirements in the army, and they must be treated differently, but this crossing of Chishui is an absolute order from above.

Mobility is demanding, for unnecessary sacrifices, even discardable places are prescribed, and for the sake of most lives, it is always necessary to make some cruel choices.

This is the mission of the soldiers, obeying orders, there is no other choice.

Besides, there are not many guns in the troops, so if you waste one more here...... He also doesn't think that a recruit can exert much combat effectiveness......

"Squad leader!" Erniu's voice became hoarse, low and fearful, with longing, and just as he was about to collapse, Han Xin's eyelids, who had been lying on the stretcher and had been in a coma, moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

"Brother Han"

Although he was talking to Xu Bao, Li Erniu's attention never left Han Xin in a coma, seeing Han Xin's eyelids trembling, he immediately ran to Han Xin's side excitedly and shouted, "Brother Han, Brother Han, wake up, wake up." ”

"Two, two cows" Han Xin finally woke up in a daze, with a trace of confusion and inexplicable profundity in his eyes, looked around, and saw the squad leader smiling with relief, the female doctor showed calmness, and several other partners also waved their hands to him.

He shook his head, shook off the drowsiness in his mind, and was silent for a long time, before he raised his head again, temporarily showed his snow-white teeth and said: "Erniu, what the hell is your fucking ghost called, I can't even sleep well, it's really fucking bad." ”

Erniu was shocked by Han Xin's sudden outburst, but what made people laugh and cry was that not only was he not half annoyed when he was scolded, but he was pleasantly surprised, and his rough voice spread far and wide.

"Haha, Brother Han, you can scold me again, you're fine, it's okay."

Well, although they are in a moment of crisis, everyone's emotions are still amused by these two pairs of living treasures, and they all show wry expressions, with a helpless face, people are "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer", can you envy it?

Fortunately, Han Xinji woke up, the female doctor left, and the old men were left in the camp again.

"Han Xin, there's nothing wrong with your body, right?"

"Okay, you can kill a cow, don't worry, squad leader." Han Xin's eyes flickered a few times.

"That's good" Xu Bao's worried look disappeared a little, nodded and walked out of the camp, beckoned, called all the soldiers of a squad into the camp, and began to explain.

……

By the Chishui River, before receiving the order to cross the river immediately, Er Niu and Han Xin stood on the bank of Chishui.

The continuous rain still rains non-stop, the red water churns, beats a string of waves on the wide water surface, the waves crash on the shore, and the already slippery soft mud washes out of the ravine, the turbulence of the red water and the surging power make people can't help but feel small.

Unlike Er Niu, who was stunned on the side, Han Xin stood on the shore of Chishui, his face was calm, his eyes were deep, and he was constantly looking around, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The sky is dangerous and angry, and the military family is in the land, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time......"

"Brother Han, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? ”

"Erniu, are you afraid?" Han Xin didn't answer Li Erniu's question, turned his head and asked, his face was calm and scary, and he was like the frolicking image on weekdays.

"I ...... I'm afraid, but my mother said that the Red Army is the best and best troops, and since I have joined the Red Army, I can't admit it, and I can't retreat even if I die. Han Xin's expression made Li Erniu feel a little unfamiliar, but he didn't hesitate much about Han Xin's inquiry and replied.

"The military heart is available" Han Xin once again confided a word that made Li Erniu inexplicable, and he didn't pay attention to Erniu's doubts, and continued to look at Chishui and ponder, as if he was in a daze, as if he was thinking.

***

The whole army crossed the river, assembled in the town of Tashi, and waited for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy. The order came quickly, and it didn't make Han Xin and the others wait for long.

Near the Tucheng area, the Central Red Army was assembled. There are not many ships here, only a dozen small wooden boats were raised, and the whole army was divided into three columns, and crossed the Yangtze River north from the Lantian Dam, Dadukou and Jiang'an line between Yibin and Luzhou.

It was rainy and the weather was slightly cold, but the Red Army ignored these difficulties, hurried the time, but did not panic, and crossed the river in order by boat.

Han Xin and Er Niu are new recruits and are very well taken care of, not only are they the first to board the ship, but there are also many veterans assigned to lead them in the army.

The boat is not big, plus Han Xin and the two, there are only about a dozen people, and the squad leader Xu Bao is also among them, one of the three veterans, and the others are all recruits like Han Xin Erniu.

The water was very strong, and the boat was not very steady, and from time to time it swayed, giving people the feeling that it would capsize in the next moment, and when the recruits passed through these battles, even if a few people could not help vomiting, some of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they clung to the stern of the ship, not daring to move at all.

Erniu has a strong body, and he is considered a bold person on weekdays, and his son's face is not good-looking, with obvious palpitations, but he is excellent, and he does not look foreign like other recruits, but makes those veterans nod secretly, praising this is a good seedling.

As for Han Xin, he was completely different, and his expression was incredibly calm. Even compared with those veterans, those who don't know think that he is a veteran, and those veterans are rookie eggs.

"Lao Xu, that kid is from your class?" A veteran poked Xu Bao's waist, looked at Han Xin, who had a calm face from beginning to end, with a shocked expression, and asked subconsciously.

Xu Bao raised his chest high when he heard this, these other veterans are his old acquaintances, and they have always had a very strong relationship, but they always like to be higher than lower than high on weekdays, not to compare, just to improve themselves through competition.

Therefore, although Han Xin's composure also made Xu Baolei not light, he still reacted quickly, pretended to be calm, and said, "That's, what's wrong?" Envious? ”

"What's the point of envy! Can you let me? ”

"Can't!"

"You miser, old landlord, why didn't you raid your house when you said our troops were collecting food?" The veteran glared at Xu Bao, and said in a rather regretful tone: "I knew that I also went to the previous conscription, maybe this good seedling is my person." ”

Xu Bao smiled at this, and looked at Han Xin again with eager eyes. He knew that what the veteran said was a joke, but it was true.

A soldier, especially an outstanding good seedling, is definitely a potential stock. People have made meritorious contributions, as a squad leader, won't you be recorded? Even if people are bigger than you in the future, as the old squad leader, will they treat you badly? It's not a song that sings, "My old squad leader......"

Ahem, Xu Bao came back to his senses, and subconsciously moved to Han Xin's side, potential stocks, there is no room for mistakes. Although he is an honest man, it is not his fault that he has a little abacus!
