Although the two soldiers beside him were physically strong, they could climb such a high snow-capped mountain in one go, plus they had to support He Bing, they were already tired and about to collapse. Hearing this, they knew that they had been ordered a long time ago: not to rest in the middle of the journey, especially not to sit on the ground. But don't forget, at this time they are not only tired, but more importantly, altitude sickness, low oxygen content, causing their heads to buzz all the time, to put it bluntly, at this time their heads are completely 'empty', they don't forget to think elsewhere at all, the only thought is that they are too tired, they have to take a good rest - this is probably the fundamental reason why although the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps have long given the order to die, there are still some comrades who have died.

Seeing He Bing sit down while talking, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside He Bing. Then, He Bing panted and pulled out his cigarette......

"You don't know the rules, how can you sit here and smoke, get up for me......" A comrade found the three of them sitting on the ground, and quickly ran back with a few people shouting.

Seeing that their shouts did not get the slightest response, everyone immediately had a bad premonition in their hearts, and hurriedly rushed over like the wind, but it was still too late.

When they came to the three of them, they found that the cigarettes in their hands had burned to their fingers, but the three of them lowered their heads and sat quietly. The faces of the two comrades were very calm, but He Bing's face was a little smiling, but this complexion could never be changed...... The cold wind blew and took away three brave and unswerving good comrades and good soldiers who followed the party and finally rested here -- they were the first comrades of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps who died in the snow-capped mountains.

"Alas~!" The platoon commander who took the lead in coming back grabbed his hat, slapped his thigh angrily, and sighed unwillingly, his eyes full of grief and indignation.

Immediately, the bodies of the three comrades were moved to a short distance and covered them with snow. Saluting collectively and turning away, they continued the long march with the will of these comrades who will always be buried here, and with the faith that the revolution will be carried out to the end.

Afterwards, the platoon commander was demoted for only one reason: he did not take good care of the comrades below.

The sacrifice of these three people has aroused great attention from leaders at all levels, and once again strictly ordered everyone not to rest halfway. Despite this, sacrifice is inevitable for a variety of reasons...... But in any case, although the Zhongdian Snow Mountain is high and large, the Red Army has rested for more than 20 days in physical and chemical affairs, and both the recovery of physical strength and morale are relatively good. However, everyone knew that for the commanders and fighters of the Red Army, who had to rush over the six snow-capped mountains of the three major and three small schools because of the cold and the decline of their own physical fitness, the further they went, the greater the sacrifice.

The assault company was lucky, although their sacrifice rate in the battle was much higher than that of other companies, but because they were all carefully selected elites, their physical fitness was much higher than that of other companies, so in the face of this harsh natural environment, their resistance was the highest. Therefore, this also caused the assault company to sacrifice the least when ploughing the snowy mountains.

Turning over the Zhongdian Snow Mountain, coming to the bottom of the mountain, although it is early in the morning, but thanks to the snow all around, the visibility is still high, not to mention, you can light a torch at this time.

And the 49th Regiment that arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain with them, although they were tired enough, fortunately they did not sacrifice, and they were all very happy. Immediately, the assault company and the 49th Regiment separated to complete their respective tasks: the 49th Regiment hurriedly set up a cauldron on the makeshift camp, made a fire for cooking, and had to prepare for the arrival of the main force behind, and at the same time, they had to send people around to collect firewood. The assault company was also ranked, and Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze, and Peng Peng each took a platoon to hunt wild game -- because the Central Red Army had said that they had hunted wild yaks around here.

Just when the 17th Division basically arrived at the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain, when it was bustling and noisy, the assault company came back, and the results were not bad, except for Zhang Qingshan's platoon, the second platoon and the third platoon each hit a wild yak. Seeing them dragging their results back, a huge cheer erupted in the temporary camp, which also gave the main force behind a kind of encouragement and hope.

However, a touching scene happened.

Previously, during physical and chemical hunting, the hunting team led by Zhang Qingshan had little meat, although everyone drooled when they saw it, but everyone didn't move a mouthful of meat, only drank soup, and even said the excuse that soup is more nutritious than meat...... But now, the entire 17th Division, from bottom to top, although everyone smelled the fragrant smell of meat and drooled, and said that they must have a big meal, but when they really arrived at the cauldron, everyone only ate their own dried wild vegetables and a handful of barley or fried rice, and then came to the side with a bowl of soup, gathered together, and ate very sweetly. Some people simply didn't go over, but secretly hid aside, eating fried rice, chewing dried wild vegetables, and drinking cold water......

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but think of the scene when he was hunting, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but he couldn't say what this emotion was.

When Division Commander Liu Yongjiang saw this scene, he personally demonstrated the same way as Zhang Qingshan did at the beginning, ordering everyone to eat meat. As a result, those who had already come before ran with bowls in their hands, saying that they were full, or that they had already eaten meat, and that they had left the rest of the meat for the comrades behind.

And those comrades who lined up, although a piece of meat was scooped into a bamboo tube or bowl, turned around and handed it to the wounded, or poured it into other cauldrons, turned around and ran, so that no matter how you shouted, you would not come back, and it was useless to give orders...... Liu Yongjiang yelled, but tears flowed in his heart.

At this moment, Zhang Qingshan seemed to understand: Isn't the spirit of unity of selfless dedication and mutual help the comrade-in-arms of the Red Army soldiers? The spirit of unity in which the Red Army was able to win so many great victories in such a difficult environment and with such backward equipment was absolutely one of the most important factors.

Under the bright starry sky, at the foot of the Zhongdian Snow Mountain, countless bonfires are connected like starlight in the sky, which has the potential to burn the prairies.

Because of the existence of the bonfire, this night, everyone can sleep without standing back to back, but also not lying down, but sitting back to back to sleep.

The soldiers fell asleep, but Zhang Qingshan and other leaders of the assault company were still busy discussing how to go tomorrow...... Zhang Qingshan also went to visit Lao Wang and persuaded him to go with the army, but what surprised him was that Lao Wang's spirit was actually good, at least, and the laughter was much louder.

At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Qingshan, who had only slept for more than three hours when the troops 'got up', like everyone else, wiped his face with snow and water, and joked about the convenience of washing his face in the snow.

At half past six, after breakfast, the assault company was the first to set off. At this time, some units were still on the top of the mountain, and even, at the other end of the mountain, some units had just begun to climb the mountain -- I carefully questioned some old Red Army troops, and they said that the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army and the Central Red Army climbed the snow-capped mountains in a somewhat different way: the Central Red Army climbed the snow-capped mountains without interruption, and according to the experience of the Central Red Army, the best way to climb the mountains was to take the division or regiment as a unit -- At least at the beginning, when you have enough energy, you should do this to maintain the speed to the maximum extent and not be delayed due to accidents in the middle of the way, which will cause unnecessary losses. Thus, the 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army marched in regimental units, with a little distance between them.

The discussion in the early hours of this morning was still very useful, and they further perfected the 49th Regiment's method of opening the way: In the platoon unit, one platoon took the lead, and without a shovel, they directly stepped on it; in the second platoon, their main task was to step on the first platoon, but on the relatively not so hard ground, they used shovels to shovel out anti-skid lines, and the third platoon further perfected these anti-skid lines. Then, the three rows alternate in turn......

Don't look at the rest after a few hours, at first, the assault company's forward speed was still good, but due to the excessive physical strength consumed when climbing the Zhongdian Snow Mountain, although they are now somewhat accustomed to altitude sickness, this speed is still gradually slowing down. In addition, although the second snow-capped mountain is much smaller than the Zhongdian Daxue Mountain, because its height is two-thirds of the Zhongdian Daxue Mountain, it is steeper in terms of slope and is very difficult to climb.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this difficulty that everyone is extra careful, therefore, when climbing to the top of the mountain, the assault company has nothing else to adapt to except for the sweaty and tired panting, which makes Zhang Qingshan and several other leaders feel a lot more relieved, and they all agree that this is the result of everyone having adapted to altitude sickness.

However, no one expected that when going down the mountain, the accident would come so unexpectedly and so heart-wrenching.

At this time, anti-skid is the most important, therefore, according to the information provided by the Central Red Army and the experience gained in the Zhongdian Snow Mountain, we did not walk in a queue, but walked slightly outward in a squad unit, because in this way, we can make the comrades behind as bigger and try not to slip.

But no one expected that the sky, which had been clear just now, would suddenly be gray, and then, before everyone could guess whether it was going to rain or hail, they saw the hailstones the size of their fingers falling down one after another.

Although they were a little caught off guard, they were soldiers anyway, and under the hoarse shouts of Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze, and other leaders, everyone quickly gathered together -- they were on the Zhongdian Snow Mountain, and they relied on gathering together, holding above their heads with animal skins, tattered umbrellas, and everything else that could resist the hail, and connecting them together to fight the hail.

Although this trick is useful, no one expected that there would be no accident on such a tall snow-capped mountain as Zhongdian Daxue Mountain, but there was an accident in this place......
