Chapter 211: The End of Hell Week (Eighth Watch)

When Zhang Cheng stood in front of the one hundred and fifty candidates again a week later, he did not turn on the poisonous tongue mode again, but shouted to everyone with a smile on his face: "Today, I announce to you with great joy that the team members present who still have not quit the training, congratulations on passing the week-long hell training, and from now on, you will enter the next stage of special training!" ”

As soon as Zhang Cheng said this, all the team members were ecstatic and cheered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHell Week is really like hell, and it is extremely painful for all the team members. Fortunately, everyone present persevered.

Zhang Cheng was also quite gratified that the fact that these 150 members of the team were able to persevere in the harsh Hell Week showed that these 150 members had good physical conditions and strong psychological qualities, and were excellent seedlings of special forces.

Zhang Cheng nodded to the special combat team members next to him, and the butcher Chen Jinbiao and the four special combat team members came to the front of the team with a tray in both hands.

Then Zhang Cheng Zhengse shouted: "You have spent the hell week, but don't think that you can be a special soldier now, I tell you, the elimination is not over yet." Do you see the tray in their hands, the tray contains beautiful epaulettes that only those of us regular special combat soldiers can wear, butcher, go and show them the epaulettes. ”

"Yes!"

The butcher and the four team members showed the candidates those beautiful epaulettes one by one, while Zhang Cheng continued to shout: "Do you see, the epaulettes on our bodies are two blades crossed together, which is the symbol of our Shaozong 'Blade' Special Operations Brigade. You will also have such beautiful epaulettes when you join the special forces.

On the epaulettes, there is a golden wolf's head with its mouth open and its fangs exposed, which is the Special Operations Brigade of the Red Army Headquarters, which is called the 'Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade'; the epaulettes of the First Army Corps are a lightning bolt and is called the 'Thunder Special Operations Brigade'; the Third Army Corps is a tornado named the 'Storm Special Operations Brigade'; the Fifth Army Corps is a golden shield named the 'Golden Shield Special Operations Brigade'; and the 15 th Army Corps is a black eagle named the 'Eagle Special Operations Brigade'.

These epaulettes are very beautiful and beautiful, and they also symbolize great honor. Tell me, do you want it? ”

"Yes!" The team members shouted excitedly.

"It's not loud enough, haven't you eaten?"

"Yes!" The team members roared at the top of their voices, and their voices suddenly increased an octave.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Very good, since you want it, then give you ......, of course it's impossible!" ”

"Cut ......"

The team members thought that Zhang Cheng was about to issue epaulettes, but it turned out to be empty joy and boos.

Zhang Cheng said with a straight face: "The epaulettes are very beautiful and everyone wants them, but not everyone of you is qualified to get them." I'm not afraid to tell you that I have only prepared fifteen epaulettes for each special operations team, which means that I will only take fifteen members of each special operations team, and half of you will be eliminated.

Therefore, in the next stage of training, I hope that you will perform well as always, and do not get kicked out when you enter the special forces, it would be a shame, please work hard! ”

The elimination rate of up to half of the time made everyone nervous, and being able to hold on in the Hell Week showed that everyone present was not weak, and everyone looked at their companions with wary eyes, and in the next training, the other party was their direct competitor.

The strength and mystery of the special forces deeply attracted them, especially the title of the king of soldiers made their blood rush, the harsh training of Hell Week was over, success was in sight, and no one wanted to give up.

Under Zhang Cheng's mobilization, everyone redoubled their efforts and entered the next stage of special tactical training with anticipation and apprehension. However, the next special tactical training does not need to be watched by Zhang Cheng all the time.

As the commander of the column, Zhang Cheng held a high position of power, and it was undoubtedly a huge waste to spend all his time training the troops, and it was very rare to be able to squeeze out a week to train in hell.

In accordance with the instructions of the Party Central Committee, the Red Second and Red Fourth Front Armies, which had joined forces in Ganzi, set out in early July.

After the merger of the Second and Fourth Front armies, the strength of the troops amounted to more than 80,000 troops, and the difficulties of such a huge army crossing the dangerous grassland under the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops can be imagined.

Due to the large number of troops and the lack of land and people in the Ganzi area, the Red Army did not bring enough food with them when they set out, and many officers and soldiers were starved to death when they crossed the grassland.

After the large army of the Red Army entered the grassland, the environment and climate were very harsh, which made it very difficult to march on the grassland. What was even worse was the lack of food and clothing, and many Red Army soldiers were laid to rest on the grass.

Seeing that more and more comrades were falling behind and sacrificing, Mr. Zhu asked his beloved mounts to be killed and distributed to the soldiers as rations, and also issued a call to the comrades to "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs", so that everyone could find some non-toxic and edible wild vegetables and weeds in the vast grassland to tide over the difficulties of hunger.

However, to taste a kind of edible weeds and wild vegetables, it is necessary to risk the life of poisoning, and many cadres took the lead in responding to the boss's activity of "tasting a hundred herbs", but after being poisoned, they were never able to get out of the grassland.

As they continued to penetrate deeper into the hinterland of the steppe, the situation of falling behind became more and more serious, and the cadres of the Red Army adhered to the principle of not abandoning and not giving up, and organized a large number of shelter teams, hoping to save the soldiers who had fallen behind.

However, in order not to drag down other comrades-in-arms, the Red officers and soldiers who had fallen behind refused to be accommodated by the reception team, and they covered their heads and faces with weeds and remained motionless, hoping that the comrades who walked by them would think that they were dead and ignore them.

When the comrades of the shelter team saw the "sacrificed" comrades, they wanted to help them sort out their remains, but they unexpectedly found that they were still alive, so every time they saw a fallen Red Army, they turned over the grass on their faces, and as long as their comrades still had a breath, they had to be carried to the stretcher, not to abandon or give up.

However, although they rescued some people, they saw more of the corpses that had become cold and stiff.

After walking through the big grassland, the Red Army soldiers suddenly became unstoppable, and they followed the road once traveled by the First Army to cross Lazikou, climb over Minshan, and once again came to Hadapu, the "gas station" of the Long March.

In response to the call of the Party Central Committee, the two major fronts established Soviet power wherever they went. Soon, the Soviet power with Hadapu as the center and 148 counties, townships and villages was established, and the Longnan Revolutionary Base Area was created.

In October 1936, the capital of Gan Province in Ningcheng was noisy, crowded, everyone was immersed in a festive-like atmosphere, red flags were displayed on both sides of the road, red slogans were pasted all over the city, the whole Huining became a sea of red, the three main forces of the Red Army met, and the Long March Road of more than 20,000 miles finally reached the other side of victory!
