Chapter Two Hundred and One: Beginning to Walk into the Hay Field
readx;? A group of people happily returned to the village, and were warmly welcomed by everyone, and the slaughter of cattle had been done a long time ago, and they were waiting for them to come back to celebrate......
Naturally, there is no need to say much about this, but what makes Zhang Qingshan feel strange is that they didn't even eat, but went to dispose of the carcass of this wild wolf first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
During the days when Zhang Qingshan came, he happened to see a 'burial' with Tibetan characteristics -- that is, the well-known celestial burial.
This is not only strange for Zhang Qingshan, who is familiar with burials or cave burials, but also very shocking, after all, his hometown is afraid that the remains of relatives and friends will be eaten by animals, but here, he is the first time to see his relatives and actually welcome the eagles in the sky to eat the remains of relatives.
Therefore, he was absolutely curious about how to dispose of the carcasses of these wild wolves, and he couldn't help but follow, and as a result, he was a little disappointed.
The way people here deal with wild wolves is actually cremation.
After disposing of the carcasses of wild wolves and the corpses of Tibetan mastiffs killed in battle, it is time of celebration in the village, and after eating, drinking, and playing, there is also a bonfire party.
......
On the 16th, the assault company left the small village.
The villagers were very reluctant, not only took out the best things at home and gave them to the assault company, but also rode horses and sent them all the way for more than ten miles, if it were not for Zhang Qingshan and others several times to politely refuse, they were afraid that they would have sent the assault company all the way to the regiment headquarters.
But even if it was such reluctance, there was one thing that made Zhang Qingshan very puzzled: they were unwilling to join the Red Army.
Later, when he met the head of Tian Jingshan, he mentioned it, and the mystery in his heart was solved: after thousands of years of serfdom, the local people's minds were very closed, even deep-rooted, no matter how much they trusted and supported the Red Army, but in their bones, they did not dare to go against the will of the serf owners (big and small toasts and heads). Because in their eyes, the words of the serf owner are the holy decree - the only one who can break this holy decree is the gods, that is, the local spokesmen of the gods, the temples. Yes, there are only temples. For example, the temple said that so-and-so Tusi had violated the will of the gods and was demonized or something, so they dared to rise up against their masters, otherwise, according to superstitious thoughts, if they dared to resist, they would not only be cruelly punished by the serf owners, but also reincarnate as a human after death, and they would also become serfs, even in life and death.
Of course, the cruel punishment of the serf owners was also one of the main reasons why they did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, don't look at the Red Army users now, and the serf owners have also run away, but if they want to follow the Red Army, unless they are relatives and friends, otherwise, they will go by themselves, not to mention relatives, even friends will be implicated, in layman's terms, this is where the restriction of joint sitting lies.
And Zhang Qingshan was very depressed, not because of the above, but because Uncle Asantoka gave Zhang Qingshan a little herbal ointment. Because when Zhang Qingshan was encircling and suppressing the wild wolf, he was bitten by a wild wolf who escaped, although it was only a little bit of skin, but Ah Sang was very concerned, and he had to give him a bottle of ointment, Zhang Qingshan couldn't accept it. But in Zhang Qingshan's eyes, he didn't know how many times he had experienced bullets and bullets, even if he was dying of life and death twice, and he was still afraid of this injury--isn't it just a little bit of skin?
And it is such a trivial matter that is not worth going to his heart at all, but it is destined to Zhang Qingshan's ups and downs on the road of the Long March.
After the 49th Regiment was assembled, everyone had lunch, that is, taking advantage of this time, the regiment headquarters summed up the experience of the Central Red Army in crossing the grassland and distributed it to all companies to read it out, so that everyone could understand the various things to be aware of...... Zhang Qingshan deeply remembered a summary of the long march through the grasslands in private: The soldiers and civilians were 'fish and water conditions,' and the fish could not live without the water, and it would be equally difficult for us to survive without the people! The hardships of the grasslands lie in the fact that there are no families -- the one or two herdsmen we occasionally meet do not count.
After lunch, the assault company set off first under the banner of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
From Ganzi to Gannan, you have to pass through a long or even no road, thin air no man's land. The grassland is endless, with dry grass and water meadow: from Ganzi to Aba is dry grass, and from Aba to Baoza is water meadow.
To be honest, marching on the hay was much better for the Red Army officers and men who were good at marching, but this was only relative: there was no house to live in, and everyone spent the night around a campfire. But as soon as it rains, it's all over, and everyone is wet and cold from the rain. This is still secondary, the main problem is the lack of food: at the beginning, no one still brought fried noodles with them, but the most was only about 30 catties, which is the best, and the worst thing is that some people didn't even find fried noodles at all, so they could only rely on the dried wild vegetables that were allocated. You know, it was not easy to find food in Xikang at that time. At this time, the spirit and quality of solidarity and mutual assistance of the Red Army were revealed: no matter whether you had food or not, as long as someone had it, they would generously grab two handfuls for you while cooking and put them in.
As the saying goes: people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!
When we set out from Ganzi, because we had just entered the vast grassland and had been repaired for more than ten days, we had recovered some of our physical strength, second, they felt strange, and thirdly, they walked on the hayfield, so the morale was high and the speed of the march was naturally very fast.
However, because they have already gained the experience of the Central Red Army crossing the grassland, they have long experienced the preciousness of food, and naturally have strict orders for the distribution of food, although everyone can distribute it according to the situation, but the squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander of each squad must preside over how many meters should be lowered and how many wild vegetables (or dried wild vegetables) should be put in this meal.
Take the assault company as an example, every time it is time to eat, the assault company first digs wild vegetables around. Then several leaders were each in charge of a platoon, and everyone stretched out their right ring fingers, middle fingers, and index fingers, scooped three fried noodles from each person's bag and put them into the pot -- with the current scale, it is about two taels at most. Then, put a lot of wild vegetables in it and cook it. For this reason, everyone also made up a smooth slip: "The wild vegetables are fragrant, the Red Army will go north after eating them, as long as they can satisfy their hunger, walking out of the grassland will be a victory......"
Aging said: Half the size of the child, eat the dead old man. is talking about the Red Army ghosts like Zhou Baoyu, who are growing their bodies. Because he couldn't eat enough, even if he drank a stomach full of wild vegetable soup, he was full at that time, but because there was no oil and water, his stomach was gurgling after a while, so although Zhou Baoyu carried more than 20 catties of fried noodles, this kid was hungry and greedy, so he couldn't help but secretly pinch a pinch from the dry food bag and chew it in his mouth.
Zhang Qingshan happened to see this situation, so he immediately warned everyone: "Didn't you listen to what the chief said? There is still a long way to go, so I will eat it violently now, and I will be quick for a while, but when I reach the uninhabited meadow, where can I find food? What should I do if I have no food? That will starve to death." ”
Zhang Qingshan was in the vanguard, and it was good to dig wild vegetables, but later I heard that the people at the back didn't even have to dig up the roots of wild vegetables. At the beginning, because everyone left Ganzi, fortunately, even if there were opinions, they could bear it. But later, the comrades in the back couldn't help it: there were no wild vegetables, and the food they brought on their bodies would be eaten in a few days, so how could they go on the road behind?
Besides, there are no big enemies here, and there is no need for the presence of pioneers, so let's take turns.
Helplessly, the headquarters took into account the actual situation and decided to let the comrades in the back take the place in the front -- this is also no way, everyone should take turns with each other, otherwise, the comrades in the back will always have no wild vegetables to eat, and sooner or later there will be big problems. It's better to take turns, so that everyone can help each other and help each other, and they can be half-full with the help of wild vegetables.
However, Zhang Qingshan and the others quit and went to the division headquarters to reflect: What does it mean that without a large number of enemies, there is no need for vanguards? Even so, does it mean that there is no need for reconnaissance, vigilance, or even discerning the direction?
However, Liu Yongjiang knew that Zhang Qingshan and the others were playing on their merits: Without the encirclement and interception of a large number of enemies, other companies would be able to do a good job in reconnaissance and vigilance, and if you were the only assault company in the entire Second Front Army, you would be able to do this job well. Besides, anything like identifying directions, as long as you know a little bit about it, at least, we can identify the direction through the North Star...... To put it bluntly, it is true that there is not much need for assault companies to be pioneers. At this moment, what is most needed is to take care of the overall situation, let everyone take turns, allocate resources, and not let a small group monopolize the advantage.
However, the vanguard company came all the way, and it was indeed outstanding and outstanding in battle, and Liu Yongjiang could not directly refuse, so as not to hurt people's hearts, so after thinking about it, he did not put the assault company in the back, but placed it on the right side of the team, mainly to deal with the enemy cavalry who came to disturb them.
And Zhang Qingshan also knew about his own affairs, so he had no choice but to agree: if he didn't mix directly with the big army, he would have some aspects, at least, this wild vegetable could be dug in the distance, more. Besides, they say that it is cavalry, but in fact, there is also a cavalry company of the division headquarters in the outermost part, and the cavalry battalion of the headquarters is on guard back and forth, so there is a relative guarantee of safety.
In this way, no matter how much he had ideas, he reluctantly accepted the reality.
However, Zhang Qingshan didn't expect an accident that he never expected - coming!
