Thanking the Red Army division commander for his suggestion, the two cattle and the four men continued to march, encountering several groups of Red Army troops along the way.

Not to mention hardship, the lack of food has become the biggest problem, the front team has insufficient rations and can dig some wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, the middle team is more bitter, can only find some vegetable roots.

As for the rear team, it was the most miserable, the wild vegetables were dug up, the wild vegetable roots were also dug up, and the rations brought were eaten, so they could only slaughter some mules, horses, and livestock.

When the livestock can no longer be killed, if you are hungry, if you are lucky, you can catch some fish from the water of the meadow to eat, and if you are unlucky, you can take off the cowhide belt from your waist with your teeth, and boil three or five into a pot, and the boiled ones are rotten, although the taste is very bad, but it can also temporarily relieve hunger.

If you don't even have a belt to eat, you can only go hungry and persevere with willpower.

Even, more and more to the rear, the two cattle and the four of them really felt the hardship of the meadow, the suffering of the Red Army soldiers, and the torture of illness and the cruelty of death.

Every day, as far as Er Niu and others can see, there are people who fall, or starve to death, or freeze to death, or die of illness or exhaustion......

It's simply a hell that shouldn't fall into the world, constantly harvesting living lives.

The four of them had witnessed that in a Red Army ranks, not one of them could stand up when the sun rose, from one company to the entire company, from the company commander to the ordinary soldiers......

Lu Xun said, "The tragic situation has made me unbearable, and the rumors have made me unbearable to hear." "But every drop of suffering, every bit of sorrow that happens on the grass, is as simple as being unbearable to hear and eyes to see.

Here, it is simply a terrifying existence, and it is difficult for Ah Na Hell to be out of it.

…… The tragedy of the Red Army's crossing of the grassland is beyond words to describe, and the scenes and incidents that happened during this period are unforgettable, appalling, and reminiscent, and can only be filled with tears.

Even a few people who are used to seeing life and death are unwilling to stop there.

How many times did they see a dying Red Army soldier lying in the grass beside him; How many times have they seen scrawny comrades stuck in swamps and mire, becoming eternal sculptures.

Everyone wants to stretch out their hands, but their hearts are weak, and everyone is sad in their hearts, but they are sad and can't cry...... This is the eternal spirit of the Red Army, and the price paid is tragic and heart-wrenching.

……

"Xiaotian, how many waves is this?"

In the grass, the figures of Erniu and the four appeared, and Erniu's voice with infinite exhaustion and weakness sounded, and there was already some despair in his eyes.

"Brother Erniu, this is already the fourth wave."

"However, I still can't find a special drug! Brothers, we ......"

"Brother Erniu, you don't need to say it, we understand and are willing, no matter what, as long as it is not until the last moment, everyone will not give up!" Xiao Wu's tone became firm.

"Yes!" Tie Niu's black face was already a little swollen, but he squeezed out a smile, "Maybe, the next wave of comrades will have the special medicine we need!" ”

Erniu nodded lightly, looked up at these brothers who had died, and said with a hint of apology: "Tie Niu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Tian, it's really hard for you......"

"Brother Erniu, I don't like to hear what you say, why is it difficult for us? Although Brother Han is your eldest brother, he is also our brother and instructor, and if something happens to him, no one will be ambiguous. ”

"That's right, although Brother Tie Niu can't speak, but this sentence is really to the point."

"Go, you kid can't speak!" Tie Niu glared at the bull's eye and lightly hammered Xiao Wuyi punch, causing everyone to laugh.

After a joke, everyone's spirits improved a little, Erniu dragged a few steps forward with tired steps, pointed ahead, and reluctantly smiled: "Brothers, then let's continue on the road!" ”

"Hmm!"

The four of them started their trip again.

The time should have been ten o'clock in the morning on the sixth day of the Red Army's entry into the meadow, and the two oxen and four men stopped again, and the team appeared in front of them again.

But this time the team seems to be different from the previous ones, to be exact, it is not a team, but can only be said to be a "group of people", about seventeen or eighteen.

And in the middle of these seventeen or eighteen people, there is a pair of stretchers, I don't know who is on the stretcher, it seems to be taking a nap, and his face is covered, but from the point of view of his body, he is probably of medium stature and very thin.

When this group of people saw Erniu and the four people, their reaction was beyond the expectations of Erniu and the others, and they seemed to be very excited, as if they were facing a great enemy, almost instantly, the rifle of Qi Brush was raised, aiming at Erniu and the four people.

"Who are you?" The stern and sonorous voice of the questioning was in stark contrast to the dish on the interrogator's face.

Erniu felt that if it weren't for the fact that the four people on his side were all wearing Red Army uniforms, I am afraid that they would be greeted by cold bullets without hesitation.

These people, who seemed to be a little too nervous, were tightly hugging the thin man lying on the stretcher.

A trace of doubt flashed in Erniu's eyes, and he replied: "Comrade, we are the ...... of the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment."

"Lie! Where is the third regiment of the Ninth Division! It's a hundred miles away from us, how can you be here? ”

A Red Army man did not hesitate to pull the bolt of the gun, and said more and more sternly: "Say, who are you?" Is it a spy of the national army? Say! ”

"We ......"

"Brush!" The rifles were all straightened, ready to stand, and the words of Tie Niu were directly held back, and Tie Niu's face showed urgency.

"Iron Bull! Everybody throw away the guns! Er Niu ordered, after Xiao Wu, Tie Niu, and Shi Tian threw the guns in their hands aside, the group of people on the opposite side relaxed a little, and it was no longer a tense situation.

But the atmosphere was still tense, and neither side of the oppression was the first to break the silence.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A series of coughing sounds suddenly sounded, and several Red Army soldiers who were confronting Erniu and others hurriedly turned around and helped the man on the stretcher pat his back.

"Why are you coughing again? You're alright! ”

"No way, ahem, no way! Help me up. The man on the stretcher commanded, and then struggled to half-sit on the stretcher that had been lowered with the help of the Red Army next to him.

It was only then that the four of them saw the appearance of the person who came: very thin and haggard, which was the first impression of several people, and then looked closely, the eyes were full of wisdom and integrity, and there was also no lack of kindness and love.

His face was a little pale, and he would cough lightly a few times every once in a while, unlike the vigilance and nervousness of the Red Army next to him looking at Erniu and the others, when he looked at Erniu and the others, his whole person seemed very calm and calm.

"What's going on?" A gentle voice rang out.

A Red Army man replied: "These people said that they came from the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment, isn't this a lie!" The Third Regiment of the Ninth Division was the vanguard of this crossing the grassland, and now I am afraid that they have all come out of the grassland, how could these people appear here? Still wearing the uniform of our army?

So, I conclude, they are ......"

"Ahem...... Well? Don't jump to conclusions, you have to give them a chance to explain! ”

The man on the stretcher waved his hand, his beard was messy because he hadn't shaved for a long time, and his thin but resolute face showed a hint of gentleness, and asked Erniu: "This comrade, can you explain?" ”

Erniu was stunned for a moment, marveling at this person's affinity and proximity in his heart, and estimated that it might be the head of the Red Army, and replied: "We are really soldiers of the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment, yes, we are the vanguard troops, and we are far away from here."

But a few of us arrived here from the regiment day and night, chief, we really didn't lie, let alone spies! ”

The man on the stretcher pondered for a moment, then looked at the four of them a few times, and said with a smile: "Well, this makes sense!" ”

"Who is your commander?"

"Lin Dashan"

"Divisional commander?"

"Commander Yu Shengli"

……

The man on the stretcher asked a few more questions, then waved his hand lightly and signaled to the Red Army next to him: "Okay, don't be nervous, it's all your own comrades!" ”

"But...... However, if you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000! ”

"Don't worry! They are telling the truth. The man on the stretcher chuckled, and then asked Erniu: "Comrade, I believe your words, so what do you want to do here?" ”

"Special medicine!"

Erniu was already hopeless, and he wasn't even going to say it, but unexpectedly, Tie Niu on the side suddenly interjected, and he was a little proud in his heart, Brother Erniu, you have said this word many times, and I will memorize it.

"Miracle medicine?"

"Yes, our instructor is very sick and needs special medicine to treat it, but the division headquarters is gone, and the instructor's illness can't be delayed, so we thought about asking the troops behind." Tie Niu said according to Erniu's previous words.

It's just that this title, the two of them are slightly different in the application of Han Xin's address.
