Chapter 67: The Vast Meadow (Night Cold)
God seemed to have played a joke on everyone, intending to test the Red Army soldiers, and this torrential rain, as Mo Rijian said, kept falling.
After being drenched for several hours, they finally found a high open space as a place to camp for the night.
This torrential rain, after a little more rain, finally subsided, and gradually stopped, but it made Lin Dashan breathe a sigh of relief, if it continued to fall, I am afraid that the soldiers would not even have a rest, and this night would not be able to march.
"It's finally time to rest!" Lin Dashan had already given the order to stay overnight, and the tired stone sat on the ground with his buttocks, and quickly jumped up again.
"Holy, why is this so wet? How can you stay overnight? The stone was stunned, and wanted to cry without tears, and then he remembered that it was difficult to find a dry place in the meadow after a storm.
Here, although the ground is still wet, it is already a paradise compared to other places.
"Wouldn't it be nice to spread a mat!" Ignoring the howl of the stone, Erniu laid a large piece of cowhide on the wet ground with the side of cow blood remaining, and then sat down.
"Ah, that's comfortable!" Erniu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, stretched his waist, and suddenly dissipated a lot of fatigue on his body.
"Hehe, Brother Niu, look...... Would you like to give me a place too? "The stone rubbed his hands at a loss, and after walking for so long, it was like the same longing to sit down when he had just finished three thousand meters, and such a dry butt pad was really tempting.
Erniu glanced at the stone and didn't say that although this cowhide is big, Erniu is burly, and his buttocks are really not small.
"Brother Niu...... Brother Erniu......"
Erniu seemed to be unable to stand up to the stone's Meng Lang, and moved his buttocks away, but just as the stone was about to sit down, Erniu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother Han, sit here!"
"I'm ......" the stone burst into foul mouth for the second time, wanting to cry without tears, this ...... It must have been the dead cow's deliberate doing.
Han Xin happened to pass by here to remind everyone to keep out the cold in time, he looked at Erniu and the embarrassing stone on the side with a smile, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I still have something to do, stone, you and your Erniu brother squeeze!" ”
"Okay!" With an arrow step, the stone put the dry ass in the vacant place of the second cow, and said happily: "Ah, it's so comfortable!" It attracted the angry eyes of Erniu.
"Pay attention to keep warm, the temperature difference between day and night in the grass is very large, and the temperature in the second half of the night is afraid that it is scary, so wear everything you can wear." Han Xin lazily ignored the pair of living treasures, and walked to the rest of the team after leaving a sentence.
"Sneeze, sneeze......"
Han Xin is the commander of the first company, and the comrades in charge of the first company are in charge, and before he got closer, he heard several sneezes.
It's no wonder that people who have been in the rain for so long, who are thinly dressed, and whose physical fitness is slightly worse, can easily catch a cold.
But what period is it now, on the Long March, not to mention the current level of medical care, just the medicine to cure the disease is scarce and pitiful, and most of the soldiers have a cold to resist the past.
If you can't bear it, the result can be imagined.
"Company Commander"
"Company Commander"
"Hmm!" Han Xin nodded, replied to the greetings of the soldiers, and saw a young company of soldiers dressed thinly, and others had already put on some clothes, but he was still a single coat when he set off.
So he asked, "Why didn't you add clothes?" ”
"I ......"
"Xiao Zhao, don't be stubborn, company commander, there are not enough warm clothes in the regiment, and many comrades have not received them, but they are afraid that the regiment commander will worry, so they didn't say it, Xiao Zhao is one of them."
"Yes, company commander, but Xiao Zhao is very stubborn, he doesn't want clothes for us, he doesn't want to say that he is young and strong, he can bear it, this is not a lack of tendons." Another warrior on the side picked up the conversation.
"I didn't ......" Xiao Zhao was a little panicked and hurriedly waved his hand.
Han Xin didn't say much, took off a thin cotton jacket on his body, threw it directly at Xiao Zhao, and said without a beak: "Put it on!" ”
"No, company commander, I'm not freezing...... Sneezing ...... I ......"
"What are you sneezing without freezing? Tell you, most colds are frozen, I know you're thinking about everyone, but what if you fall ill? Wouldn't it be even more of a drag on everyone? ”
After Han Xin finished speaking, Xiao Zhao, who was red-faced, struggled in his heart, seemed to have figured it out, raised his head and said, "Well, I know the company commander...... But what do you do? ”
"I'm young and strong, and I can bear it." Han Xin quipped.
“……”
Xiao Zhao's face turned even redder, like a shy girl, isn't this exactly what she refuses to be said! It was actually borrowed by the company commander.
"That's it! I still have extra ...... there."
Han Xin patted Xiao Zhao's shoulder with a smile, and then said loudly: "Comrades, the temperature in the grass is extremely low in the middle of the night, even reaching a few degrees below zero, you should pay attention to keep warm." ”
"Remember, if you want to sleep, due to the limited conditions now, it is impossible for you to lie on the hot kang warmly, so wrap yourself a little thicker.
Everyone can work shifts, and the awake comrades should wear relatively less clothes, but the sleeping comrades must be warmed.
It's cold weather, maybe someone will fall asleep. We have few brothers, and no one is allowed to give me a fucking bag here, you know? ”
"Yes, company commander!" Xiao Zhao took the lead in standing up straight and assured, and then watched Han Xin leave.
"Squad leader, our company commander is so good to us!" Han Xin left, Xiao Zhao pulled the thin padded jacket that Han Xin gave him, and sighed to the squad leader sweet potato (Di Hua) on the side.
Di Hua glared at Xiao Zhao angrily, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, "You kid, the shelf is big enough, you have to send the clothes to our company commander in person before you can wear them!" ”
"Hehe", Xiao Zhao touched his head honestly, did not say anything more, and admired his company commander Han Xin more and more in his heart.
Time passed, at about twelve o'clock, after a hard day's trek, the soldiers were all tired, even in this cold wind, low temperature, the eyelids began to fight, muddy.
However, many fighters could not sleep and did not dare to sleep.
Because in the middle of this cold night, once you lie down in the cold, I am afraid that you will never wake up again.
Second, everyone should keep vigil to ensure that those comrades who are sleeping in their shifts can sleep peacefully.
Han Xin hadn't slept yet, although he was already sleepy, but he had always felt less, so he pushed Erniu and the others into the tent that was temporarily set up to take over the task of guarding the camp.
The camp tents are limited, and there are more than 1,000 numbers in the whole regiment, and there are more than 10 tops.
There were seven or eight female comrades in the regiment, and although there were few of them, a group of big men were naturally embarrassed to fight and were assigned a top.
The regiment commander Lin Dashan, the political commissar and other cadres were assigned one top, and the others were divided equally.
The camp tent is not big, but it depends on how you live with people, the Red Army soldiers naturally don't pay attention to any comfort, and the camp tent that can sleep more than a dozen people is stuffed into the twenty or thirty by them, you squeeze me, I am next to you, and it can be regarded as snuggling up to each other for warmth.
And this is also one of the reasons why Han Xin is not in a hurry to go to sleep, the Odd Soldier team has allocated a tent, but there are already a lot of people...... Iron Bull, Er Niu, these guys' stinky feet, the smell of sweat on the stones and Shi Wen......
Even Han Xin, who thinks he has strong willpower, is really reluctant to set foot in it.
However, there are still a few people who can live in the camp, but what should we do if we want to rest?
Some of them wrapped themselves in thick clothes and slept against each other; Some fell asleep sitting, others fell asleep on their stomachs.
Han Xin also saw the smarter one, tied the war horse, wrapped it in clothes, let the war horse lie down and lie in the arms of the war horse, and warmed it from the horse.
