On the afternoon of 19 May, a search team sent by Zhang Cheng to find another road for the baggage and artillery units finally sent back the gratifying news: with the help of local mountain people, they had found a barely passable mountain road in the Qionglai Mountains for mule carts, but the distance was 150 miles farther than crossing the Jiajin Mountain.

In response to this new situation, Zhang Cheng discussed with the political commissar and decided to divide the troops into two routes: Zhang Cheng led a large army to cross the Jiajin Mountain lightly; The political commissar led the baggage troops and artillery units along another road in the Qionglai Mountains.

That night, Zhang Chengyou carried out an ideological mobilization of the whole army and formulated several strict regulations for climbing the mountain:

1. It is strictly forbidden to make loud noises to prevent avalanches.

2. Individuals shall not carry more than 25 kilograms of materials, and non-essential items shall be discarded or given to local villagers.

3. All units organize able-bodied officers and men to act as temporary ambulance teams to help comrades who are weak or have minor injuries.

4. Walk with your head down, never look up or down. (This is Zhang Cheng's temporary addition, because Jiajin Mountain is covered with snow all year round, as far as the eye can see, it is a white expanse, and people who meet it for the first time are easy to get snow blindness, and a careless person is likely to fall off the cliff.) ）

5. Pay attention to prevent infection, do not sit on the ground, do not lean against the cliff, do not drink raw water on the ground, and drink snow if you are thirsty.

After Zhang Cheng laid out the five strict requirements, he immediately issued these five requirements to all units, requiring the leaders of each unit to convey these five requirements to every soldier, and to make sure that every soldier must keep these five requirements in mind and strictly implement them.

After making all preparations, at 9 o'clock in the morning of May 20, Zhang Cheng led the Shaozong Pioneer Force, a total of more than 2,000 people, to climb towards Jiajin Mountain.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the mountain, the howling cold wind greeted them, and the warriors seemed to step from the turn of spring and summer into winter. The road under your feet is not covered with snow, and the cold temperature is so hard that the bamboo sticks will bump and wear on the ground.

Zhang Cheng ordered the special operations brigade to explore the way for the vanguard and the large army, and to place signs, which places with greater risks must be marked.

The engineer battalion followed behind the special operations brigade to open the way for the main force, holding shovels, hoes, ropes, and other tools to remove obstacles on the road, check and fill in the gaps for the special operations brigade, sweep away dangerous places in advance, and continue to mark those that cannot be swept away.

Zhang Cheng led a regiment of officers and soldiers to climb up the road opened by the vanguard, and due to the uneven physical fitness of the soldiers, the line began to grow longer and longer.

At this time, if you look down at Jiajin Mountain from the sky, you will not see a person, you can only see red flags waving in the wind, and these red flags surround the Jiajin Mountain Road, as if a red dragon is entrenched in Jiajin Mountain.

Zhang Cheng walked in the middle of the team, climbing upwards step by step.

The fighters were relaxed at first ascending the mountain, but the higher they climbed, the heavier their breathing became. The trail began to get steeper and narrower, the snow became deeper and thicker, the temperature was getting colder, and the air was thinner.

For Zhang Cheng, a veteran who has always insisted on special training, these difficulties can only be regarded as pediatrics. However, it is a great test for the vast majority of officers and men.

Although it is extremely difficult, human potential is forced out. Even in the face of such great difficulties, the fighters remained very full of emotions, and none of them complained of being tired.

The ambulance teams formed by various units also played a great role, trying their best to help the soldiers with poor physical fitness, supporting them to move up step by step.

A scene that Zhang Cheng regretted still happened: a young soldier who was only fifteen or sixteen years old accidentally fell off a cliff.

In the process of constantly falling, the little soldier knew that he was about to fall off the cliff and face the fate of being crushed, but the little soldier still strictly adhered to the discipline of the troops, and Leng did not make a sound.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes caused an incomparably huge shock to Zhang Cheng, the soul from the afterlife.

In the society where money is supreme and materialism is indulged in in later generations, heroes such as Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, and Qiu Shaoyun are constantly smeared and questioned by some bricks and beasts with ulterior motives, believing that they are fictitious images of our party and army.

They decided that there could be such a stupid person in the world, who would rather sacrifice his life to complete the task of the army.

However, the reality happened so vividly in front of Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng could not believe it: Our party and our army have such a group of people, they have lofty beliefs, they have this belief, they are never afraid, they are not afraid of sacrifice, just to liberate the people from the incomparably dark old society.

For the sake of this faith, even if they were asked to sacrifice their lives, they were as determined to do so, and they did not hesitate to die.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into tears. At this moment, his heart ached and hated, not only regretting the sacrifice of the little warrior, but also hating those brick families and beasts for reversing black and white and distorting history.

Zhang Cheng really wanted to say to these brick tutor beasts: Fuck you!

Witnessing the heroic sacrifice of the little warriors, the warriors became more cautious and began to slow down. The higher up the mountain road, the deeper the snow became, and although the fighters of the engineer battalion had shoveled some of the snow, it was soon covered with falling snowflakes again.

The slippery mountain road also brought great difficulty to the climbing, especially the little fighters with poor physical strength, many of whom were gritting their teeth and holding on.

The correspondent Xiao Radish Head who followed Zhang Cheng was only fourteen years old, although he could usually run and jump, and he was very flexible when he walked and run, but after all, he was a body that had not yet grown up, and Zhang Cheng saw that he was about to be overwhelmed by the heavy backpack, and every step required a huge amount of physical strength.

Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, he stepped forward and took off his backpack and hung it on his chest, the little radish head hurriedly wanted to snatch it back, but when he saw that it was Commander Zhang Cheng, he immediately froze.

Zhang Cheng ordered: "Give me your backpack and return it to you when you go down the mountain." ”

The little radish head was moved, and he muttered: "But commander, you ......"

Zhang Cheng's face tightened, and he said solemnly: "Execute the order!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" The little radish head replied firmly, but secretly swore in his heart that he would never hold the commander back next time.

After climbing for more than five hours, the soldiers went through hardships and dangers, and finally climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountain.

However, everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so in order not to spend the night on the mountain, the soldiers who had fallen behind climbed to the top of the mountain and immediately began the journey down the mountain.

The road down the mountain is much easier, the air is getting smoother, the temperature is getting warmer, and the mood of the fighters is getting better. The dull ranks began to come alive again, bursting into laughter from time to time.

"Commander! You see, that's rolling! The relieved little radish head regained his childish innocence, and he pointed to a valley not far ahead of Zhang Cheng, and shouted in surprise. (To be continued.) )
