"Hah, ha! grabbed, grabbed!"
Taking advantage of Zhang Qingshan's distraction, Xiang Xueqin snatched the cigarette from Zhang Qingshan's hand and shouted excitedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Give it to me!"
"If you don't give, you don't give. Zhang Qingshan chased after him, ran towards Xueqin, and raised his cigarette proudly from time to time, and Zhang Qingshan's teeth were itching.
"That's the cigarette that Commander He gave me, give it back to me. ”
"The cigarettes given by Commander He are also cigarettes, you are not in good health, you can't smoke. I'll keep this cigarette for you. ”
"Stop!"
Since the two got along, Zhang Qingshan has been letting Xiang Xueqin go, and he hasn't even said a word to her, even if he is angry again, at most he will smile wryly and shake his head, or turn around and ignore her. Now, being drunk by Zhang Qingshan suddenly startled Xiang Xueqin, and turned to see Zhang Qingshan's solemn face and solemn expression, for a while, Xiang Xueqin was actually frightened.
"I'll give it to you, what's the murder?"
Zhang Qingshan shouted, seeing Xiang Xueqin stunned, he really stood still, his expression was a little frightened, and a little embarrassed, Zhang Qingshan's heart softened, and explained: "This is not a cigarette, this is Commander He's encouragement and expectation for me." Don't worry, even if I am suffocated by suffocation, I will not smoke this pack of cigarettes. ”
"You really don't smoke it?"
Zhang Qingshan put the cigarette in his pocket and said, "This is a spirit, you don't understand." ”
"If you don't understand, you don't understand. However, I'll check every day after that, and if I see you smoke, heh, see how I clean you up. ”
Zhang Qingshan nodded solemnly.
From June 18 to July 27, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps besieged Longshan County for 40 days, during which the 4th and 6th Divisions of the Red Second Army Corps each failed to conquer the city three times due to various reasons.
In late July, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the 48th Division from the north, carrying a large amount of money, grain, and ammunition, to reinforce Longshan, threatening: "Defeat the Red Army and rescue Longshan." On 29 July, upon hearing the news, the Red Army gathered superior forces such as the 12th Regiment of the 4th Division of the 2nd Red Army Corps, the 18th Regiment of the 6th Division, and the 49th Regiment and 51st Regiment of the 17th Division of the 17th Division of the 6th Army of the Red Army to break into depth and set up an ambush in Chestnut Garden, Xuan'en City, Hubei Province.
On 3 August, the enemy's 48th Division broke into our ambush circle, and after several hours of fierce fighting, completely annihilated 40 enemy divisions, killed its division commander Xie Bin, and captured a large number of guns, ammunition, food, ocean, medicine, etc...... The commando team did not take part in this battle, first, the commando suffered heavy casualties in the last battle of Xiaojing Town; second, the commando team's performance in several successive successful assaults made people shine, and the higher authorities decided to carry forward the commando's special force nature combat mode, so that the commando team became a fragrant bun and became a teacher, guiding the representatives sent by the fraternal units to study; third, the commando summed up experience, recognized the shortcomings, corrected them in a timely manner, and added new recruits, it took a certain amount of time to run in with each other, so the commando team was repairing at this time. Training and busy instructing representatives of fraternal units to study.
In view of the fact that the Kuomintang army had added two new divisions in the north, the defenders of Laifeng County had been strengthened, and the Tao Guang Column had concentrated 10 regiments to reinforce Longshan County from the south, and it was no longer possible for the Red Army to capture the two county towns of Longshan and Laifeng, on July 27, the main forces of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps withdrew from the siege of Longshan County, and concentrated their forces to Zhaotouzhai in Longshan County by two routes, to meet the 62nd Division of Tao Guang's Column and the Gujiaqi Brigade of the newly formed 34th Division, and to annihilate their first seven regiments.
On the morning of the 28th, when the 50th Regiment of the 17th Division of the Red Sixth Army felt beckoned, the enemy had already arrived first and occupied the favorable terrain.
The Red 50th Regiment immediately launched a fierce attack on the enemy, and the Red 49th and 51st Regiments arrived successively and entered the battle
The battle was very fierce, and the commander of the 17th Division, Su Jie, personally led the 49th and 50th regiments to charge bravely, killing and wounding a large number of enemies, capturing more than 200 people, and organizing the enemy's advance.
In this battle, because some units of the Red Army did not arrive at the designated place on time, the number of troops engaged in the battle was limited, and the goal of destroying the enemy's seven regiments was not achieved, and at the same time, the Red 17th Division also paid a lot of casualties: Division commander Su Jie, commander of the 50th Regiment Huang Lin, and political commissar Fang Zhen were sacrificed, and Wang Zhen, political commissar of the regiment, was also slightly wounded, and many outstanding commanders and fighters sacrificed their lives for the revolution, including Company Commander Huang Debao. Zhang Guozhi, the former commander of the 1st Battalion, became the chief of staff of the regiment, and Zhao Huaiwu, the commander of the new 1st Battalion, was unfortunately hit by a grenade during the charge after serving as the battalion commander for more than 10 days, and was killed on the spot. Immediately, less than 14 hours after Huang Debao took over as battalion commander on the firing line, he was hit in the chest by a bullet, and later died heroically due to ineffective rescue......
After the war, the Red Sixth Army Corps was transferred to Xinglong Street, Xiluo, and Maoping in Longshan County to rest and standby. Wu Zhengqing, the former commander of the 49th Regiment, succeeded him as the commander of the 17th Red Division.
On August 7, the General Headquarters of the Red 26th Army Corps held an emergency meeting of cadres at and above the regimental level, informing them that more than 20,000 people from 10 regiments of the Kuomintang Taoguang Column would attack the county seat from Zhaotouzhai on August 8.
It was decided to set up an ambush on the line from Bajiaotuo, the only road in Zhaotouzhai through the county seat, to Longtanyan, and wanted to completely annihilate the Taoguang column.
Tao Guang led the 10 regiments of the column, but made a detour to the tiring slope under the Keli Boundary, and wanted to cross the river from Wanwen to join the 38th Brigade of Xu Yuanquan in Laifeng County.
The Red Army detected the enemy's movements and quickly moved the asympathic rock dam that was lying in ambush at Basho Tuo.
On the morning of August 8, the vanguard of the Kuomintang began to cross the river, and the Red Army rushed to intercept it, and the battle began in Gaozhai.
The Red Army occupied a favorable position, condescending, and advanced to the southwest, while the enemy fought and retreated, retreating in the area of the small river.
Soon, the Kuomintang sent planes to reinforce them, but due to the trees and the smoke on the battlefield, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, and all the bombs dropped by the enemy planes fell on the Kuomintang troops.
In the end, the dazed Kuomintang troops became angry and angry, and they arrested people, killed pigs, and robbed property when they saw them, and the masses suffered greatly. In addition, in order to mobilize more people to participate in the battle, the Red Army actively called on the masses to participate in the war, and stipulated: except for weapons and ammunition, whoever captured the spoils of war belonged to whomever owned. The masses enthusiastically participated in the battle, actively helping the Red Army to transport the wounded and capture the scattered deserters...... With proper command, geographical superiority, and the active support of the people, even if the enemy was three or four times outnumbered by the Red Army, he was still overwhelmed by the Red Army.
In the end, after two days and one night of fierce fighting, ten regiments of the enemy army were crushed, more than 300 enemies were killed, more than 200 prisoners were taken prisoner (several dozen of whom were captured alive by the people), and a large number of weapons and Guangyang were captured.
The end of this battle marked another defeat of the Kuomintang's encirclement and suppression.
Only then did the Red Army Headquarters have time to hold a memorial meeting for all the Red Army commanders and fighters who died in the entire campaign from June 18 to July 27.
Zhang Qingshan cried very sadly, especially when he saw the clothes left by Huang Debao, he squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried...... In the past 20 years, in addition to his parents and godfather, Huang Debao can be regarded as the person who cares about him the most, Zhang Qingshan always takes him as an example in his heart, and hears bad news, how can he not be sad?
At this moment, no one laughed at him, because many people were crying, and some were even crying...... The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place!
Zhang Qingshan put Huang Debao's military hat on his head - and later, he buried his military hat in front of Huang Debao's grave. He felt that if a person really had a soul in the world after death, then what he would do in the future must be watched and reminded by the old squad leader...... In this way, you can be worthy of the old squad leader.
At the memorial service, he did not see many acquaintances. After the memorial service, he asked about the situation of the commando, and at this point, the true situation of the commando could no longer be concealed from Zhang Qingshan.
Cowardly people, under wave after wave of blows, will become sluggish, and from then on they will be muddy. But a strong-willed person will turn blows into motivation, constantly spur himself, make himself more and more courageous, and never be discouraged, Zhang Qingshan is the latter.
After getting the true situation of the commando, his face was just as pale as paper, but he didn't do any radical behavior, and he didn't even say a word, the silence was terrifying, especially Xiang Xueqin, who was accompanied by him, bit his lip worriedly, and his eyes did not leave Zhang Qingshan for a moment.
But Zhang Qingshan only asked about the situation clearly, and at about half past three in the afternoon, he rushed to the commando training ground in Xiluo Township.
As soon as they saw Zhang Qingshan, Peng Peng and some veteran team members were very surprised and hurriedly stepped forward. And some of the new team members were also surprised by the legendary former captain (Peng Peng was officially appointed as the captain of the commando) and gathered around.
Zhang Qingshan directly asked Peng Peng to gather all the commandos, watched them one by one, and counted silently in his heart, when he only saw fourteen familiar faces (Qi Zixuan was still recuperating from his injuries), Zhang Qingshan's face turned pale again.
After asking where the veteran commandos were buried, he called Zhou Baoyu and asked him to lead three horses. After the horse came, he kicked Peng Peng, who was about to step forward to speak, and suddenly kicked Peng Peng upside down and flew out three or four meters, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Smack!" Zhang Qingshan also gave himself a resounding slap, then pointed at Peng Peng, and shouted: "Take them well for Lao Tzu, if there are such big casualties, Lao Tzu will come back and slaughter you with his own hands." ”
After that, accompanied by Xiang Xueqin and Zhou Baoyu, the three of them rode away.
Peng Peng watched them leave without saying a word, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and viciously ordered the team members: Whoever dares to spread this matter will be directly expelled from the assault team - he doesn't want Zhang Qingshan to be punished for beating him, because he is more sad than Zhang Qingshan in his heart: Zhang Qingshan only saw the result, but he went through the process, and when he saw his men falling in front of him one by one, he hated to replace him.
Rushed to Xiaojing Town overnight, bought a lot of incense paper candles in the town, and went to the tomb where the commando sacrificed members were buried together halfway up the mountainside in the northeast of Xiaojing Town, first put fruit and other offerings for the sacrificed team members, and then put incense, and finally, squatted in front of the tomb to burn paper money.
Silent.
And then, in silence, he stood in front of the tomb, like a piece of wood, with his face closed, and his eyes closed, until dawn.
Under the persuasion of Zhou Baoyu and Xiang Xueqin, Zhang Qingshan agreed to leave.
"I'm sorry I didn't do well as the captain!"
After saying that, three bows.
Xiang Xueqin and Zhou Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, who knows, when Zhang Qingshan turned around, he "poofed", spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted......
Unlike others, after Zhang Qingshan woke up again, he seemed to have completely forgotten these sacrificed comrades-in-arms, joking with Xiang Xueqin as before, and willingly accepted Xiang Xueqin's bullying. But Xiang Xueqin lacked the joy and liveliness in front of Zhang Qingshan in the past, and even snatching his chicken legs with teeth and claws rarely happened. Because she saw it several times, when no one was around, Zhang Qingshan cried covering the futon...... This strong man also has a fragile side! And this kind of fragility is the most heart-wrenching, and it can also reflect the greatness of men the most.
