Accompanied by cheerful singing, the soldiers cheered up and puffed up their spirits, and when it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was already approaching the top of the mountain.

And the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the harsher the environment, with biting cold winds, scattered snowfall, and sometimes even a burst of hail, making it even more difficult for the already exhausted warriors.

However, not everyone will always be lucky, even if it is expected, but when this tragic scene happens, it is like a raging flood like a natural disaster, and it is not an individual that can be changed, and everyone still feels deep sadness.

Some warriors fell, or sat on the ground with a pale face, or fell directly on their backs, or they were too sleepy, closed their eyes, and then it became a farewell.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, wake up......"

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, don't sit, hold on, you're about to reach the top of the mountain...... Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang. ”

……

The tragic scene was repeated repeatedly, and one by one young and fresh lives fell on the journey, and soon they were covered by heavy snow, and there was no trace in sight.

The fallen warrior's companions roared and shouted the name of the hygienist, but soon they were desperate, and hot tears quietly slipped down, and the fallen warriors were no longer breathing, and their pulses stopped beating.

"Comrades, we are about to reach the top of the mountain, let's count the steps! Grit your teeth and pass. ”

"Squad leader, I'm ...... Tired...... I want to take a break! ”

"Fart, I didn't say I was tired when I was so much older than you, why are you so useless, hold on, you must not sit down...... Don't give up, boy, ......"

One step, two steps, three steps...... Thirteen Steps......

Every step seemed to be filled with lead, and the brand-new cloth shoes issued at the beginning of the Long March did not play much role in this bitter cold environment, and many soldiers' feet were already red from the cold, and some were even swollen.

When I walked, the pain in my heart kept coming from the soles of my feet, and those who were a little less determined couldn't hold on at all.

"Ban...... Grow, I'm walking, I've walked sixteen steps, I can't walk......"

"Then let's stand with each other for a while before leaving......" The Red Army squad leader patted the snow on his body, and the snow fell a little, but new snow soon appeared again, the Red Army squad leader shook his head bitterly, and then took out the last dried sea pepper from his pocket with difficulty, which was his last thing to keep out the cold.

Gently took a small bite, just like facing his most cherished treasure, the stunt did not dare to eat more, the Red Army squad leader was about to put away the dried sea pepper, but saw the little soldiers next to him shivering under the heavy snow, their mouths were frozen black, and their eyelashes were covered with ice cubes.

The squad leader of the Red Army handed over most of the dried sea pepper that was still left, "Let's all eat a bite to keep out the cold!" ”

"Squad leader, ...... What are you going to do? "These soldiers who opened their mouths are all young people, less than thirty years old, which is the age of Yu Yong Kejia, but the Red Army squad leader is already in his thirties, relying on the dried sea pepper issued by the army to keep out the cold.

And the reason for this is heart-wrenching, the materials of the three regiments are limited, that is, dried sea peppers, and everyone can't send a few.

Although the young people have stronger resistance, they can't grasp the scale, and many times they swallow the dried sea pepper in their stomachs before they reach the limit, which is a lot warmer at the time, and even the hunger in the stomach has been solved, but when it comes to this real critical difficulty, the dried sea pepper has been "squandered" by them.

"Hehe, don't worry, squad leader, I've eaten salt...... I have eaten more rice than you, and I haven't seen any suffering," the Red Army squad leader said with a few trembling teeth, seeing that everyone had eaten a few mouthfuls of chili peppers, and his condition was a little better, and said: "Little comrades, let's continue!" ”

"Hmm!"

"One step, two steps...... Fifteen steps ......"

Everyone encouraged each other, rested for a while when they were tired, and then continued to count the steps, supporting each other, holding hands and moving forward inch by inch.

……

At the forefront, Han Xin led the Odd Soldier Team forward, although the condition of the Odd Soldier Team was not very good, but it was not yet to the point of threatening life.

The first is that their crazy training on weekdays has increased everyone's physical strength and physique a lot, and the second is that everyone eats a lot of meat on weekdays because of Han Xin's small stove for everyone, and there is no lack of fat and protein.

"Instructor, news is coming from the back that more than a dozen fighters have fallen." Erniu came from the rear and witnessed the scene of the soldiers in the rear dying under the wind and snow, his eyes were a little red, but he was powerless, he couldn't help, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

"Yes, instructor, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be more comrades who won't be able to hold on......"

Han Xin was silent, in this situation, even if it was him, he couldn't think of any great idea, in such a difficult environment, sacrifice was inevitable.

After pondering for a moment, Han Xin looked into the distance, it was not far from the top of the mountain, and said, "It's almost time to reach the top of the mountain, let the comrades eat what they can eat while walking, and tell the comrades that it is easy to walk after the road to the top of the mountain."

There is a small mountain temple in the queen mother village at the mountain pass, it is said that visitors will put a lot of tribute in it, where to go, maybe the big guy can still have a big meal! ”

"Okay!"

The alternative painting cake fills the hunger, Wangmei quenches the thirst, but the effect is not bad, with the intentional exaggeration of the members of the Strange Soldier team, the soldiers are a lot excited.

"What? There is food, comrades, hurry up! I don't want to stay in this unfortunate place for a moment......"

"I feel like I can eat all the day's food in one go now."

"Let's go, good days are coming soon"

……

No one is a fool, for the authenticity of this information, everyone is not saying that it is really blindly believed, but for beautiful things, everyone always deliberately chooses to accept.

Therefore, Han Xin's goal was achieved, and the pace of the warriors accelerated in vain, and they finally reached the top of the mountain after half an hour.

The majestic Jiajin Mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, "will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains and small" The feeling is absolutely there.

But what everyone is even more emotional about is that it is such a majestic snow-capped mountain, which is still conquered by everyone, what kind of will and spirit is enough to go down in history and be glorious and immortal.

"Damn, it's finally up, comrades, you're all doing well, now you'll all go down the mountain with me, let's go down and have a good rub......" Lin Dashan also climbed to the top of the mountain, took a few breaths and shouted.

"Descending the Mountain"

"Descending the Mountain"

……

The warriors were in high spirits and began the journey down the mountain, during which the sacrifice was naturally unavoidable, and many of the warriors fell the moment they reached the top of the mountain.

The squad leader of the Red Army, no one saw him again, and the soldier who had eaten the small sea pepper silently took off his military hat and handed his most sincere blessings to the distance.

The lives of the living people must go on, and in the face of the great revolutionary cause, the sacrifice of personal honor and disgrace is insignificant, and everyone tacitly avoided this heavy topic, and after covering up the remains of those comrades, with a heavy heart, continued the unfinished journey of these sacrificed comrades.

The road down the mountain was much easier, everyone's pace was very fast, and no one fell again, and at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the 3rd Regiment arrived at Dawei, and successfully joined the 74th Regiment of the 25th Division of the Ninth Army of the Red Fourth Front.
