readx;? Marching on the plain, the most inconvenient thing is to be afraid of the enemy to find out, especially when the team is not good, when the enemy is cavalry, this must be discovered by the enemy, and the team may be wiped out at any time, therefore, there is no need for Zhang Qingshan to remind, let alone reconnaissance, that is, everyone in the team is always vigilant, and can avoid or fight with the enemy at any time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Scouts are found in groups of two, three at a time, fanning out two to three miles in front of the group. In the back, two soldiers were in charge of the finishing touches. The rest walk in the middle, but they have to keep an eye on both sides, and at the same time, they are also responsible for collecting dried cow dung (for firewood) and digging wild vegetables along the way......

But the general environment is like this, even if everyone is much more relaxed, it is still difficult to cut the blow caused by the general environment.

From morning till dusk, the luck of the people was so good that although they did not meet their own people, they did not see any enemies. However, at dusk, something happened that wasn't a blow, but it definitely had an impact on morale.

Everyone is a soldier, and there is no ordinary person who has the strong desire to hear anything about a soldier, but the assault company is too famous, and as the company commander of the assault company, Zhang Qingshan's fame and various versions of the story are also very famous. The soldiers have an unusual yearning for the stories of their wisdom and victory, so at the request of everyone, Zhang Qingshan told two stories: one is to fly across the river, and the other is to outwit Wujiabao.

But as soon as he began the story of outwitting Wujiabao, he saw the scout on the top of the mountain in front of him waving to them.

Quickly took a look through the binoculars, and sure enough, a scout waved at them with his right hand: in such an environment, it was impossible to directly shout loudly to convey orders in any case, so simple gestures could only be used instead of sign language. According to the gestures formulated earlier, waving the right hand means that there is a situation in front and telling everyone to hurry over; waving the left hand is to tell everyone to dodge and wait for them to be further confirmed; and waving two hands is to let everyone immediately find favorable terrain and prepare for battle -- the assault company is originally a special forces force, and it is too simple to formulate such a simple gesture to represent sign language. Of course, if it is complicated, others will not be able to learn it all for a while, so it is better to make it as simple as possible.

"Comrades, there is a situation ahead, everyone speed up. With that, he leaned on his crutches and limped forward. Fortunately, he was the captain, and when the two soldiers saw his situation, they took the initiative to come up and help him speed up, and in the end, his two hands simply rested on the shoulders of the two of them, and one leg jumped, and they half carried him to run.

When I came to the top of the mountain, I saw three corpses sitting back to back on the top of the mountain, although the three of them had a large amount of blood on their bodies, they were neatly dressed, obviously, the three of them had tidied up their military appearance before they died.

Zhang Qingshan walked over with a cane and glanced at Sun Zhiping: "How is it?"

Sun Zhiping sighed, shook his head, and did not speak.

Zhang Qingshan wanted to squat down and observe carefully, but because of the injury to his left calf, he had to half-kneel to observe: the three of them closed their eyes, one of them committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and the other two had a calm face and a serene expression, obviously, they did not commit suicide. So, the main question is: why did the three of them die here, and what happened?

As the supreme commander of the whole team, although Zhang Qingshan had all kinds of questions in his mind, they were only fleeting, and immediately, he was extremely correct in traveling the guidelines for all the soldiers to consider.

"Okay, don't gather around here, this is the top of the mountain, it's too easy to be exposed, everyone move quickly. As he spoke, he pointed to the ridge on the right: "Old Sun, you take a soldier and me to stay here to have a look." Lao Tian, you take everyone along this mountain beam to that side and find a place to stay. ”

Waiting for everyone to leave, Zhang Qingshan and Sun Zhiping took two soldiers, squatted down, and observed carefully, but they never gained anything, but they guessed that the time when these three people died was about one day, two nights to two days ago.

"Captain, what should I do?"

Zhang Qingshan knew what Sun Zhiping meant by asking: Do you need to bury the bodies of these three soldiers?

"Forget it, let them do it. "In normal times, who dares to ask such stupid words, Zhang Qingshan definitely doesn't mind smoking him. But now, he could only sigh again and shake his head slowly: Although the three of them seemed to be dying peacefully, don't forget the current environment in which everyone is located, who dares to guarantee that the enemy will not appear at any time? Who dares to guarantee that the remains of these three comrades will not be discovered by the enemy? And once they are discovered, then everyone will have to be buried with them. It is still the main purpose of ensuring the living comrades-in-arms -- although these sound harsh and a little unsympathetic and cold, the reality is the reality, and it must be recognized clearly. In other words, it is necessary to distinguish priorities.

Sun Zhiping paused, his eyes were a little dim, and he nodded slightly.

But just as the four of them turned to chase after everyone, the warrior at the back pointed sharply to the bottom of the hill and exclaimed, "Look, there seems to be blood there." ”

The three of them hurriedly followed the place where he pointed out, and indeed, more than ten meters away, there was a small dark red blood stain.

Zhang Qingshan raised his eyebrows: Why did I forget, I can follow the bloodstains to find the answer.

With the support of a soldier, Zhang Qingshan and the other two ran quickly to the bloodstain, only to find that there were scattered blood droplets next to this small piece of bloodstain, which stretched into the distance. Then, without being reminded by others, everyone followed the traces of this bloodstain and went all the way.

After walking for about a hundred meters, I saw a soldier rushing down from the top of the mountain.

"Captain, go and see, there are a lot of people killed at the bend of the mountain in front of you. ”

chased all the way down the bloodstains, and at the bend of the mountain, a shocking scene appeared.

This is a canyon between two mountains, and in the canyon, there are about sixty or seventy corpses, and judging from the clothing, the Red Army soldiers account for more than half, and the remaining small half is divided into two groups: one is the military uniform of the Kuomintang, and the other is the civilian clothes of the common people.

Judging from the soldiers' eyes on the battlefield situation, judging from the corpses that entered the canyon, the Red Army soldiers obviously wanted to hide in this canyon, but they were ambushed, so the corpses of the Red Army soldiers were almost all not far from the entrance of the canyon. Then, the further you went into the gorge, the bodies of the ambushers began to appear on the hills at both ends of the canyon, which, apparently, was the result of the counterattack of the Red Army. In the second half of the canyon, the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy began to increase, and almost all of them were on the flat ground in the canyon, blood was splattered, and the corpses were all over the field, some of them were even hooped together, but the lower half of the body was missing, apparently, this was the result of someone using a grenade to die with the enemy. Judging from this, it was definitely the enemy who saw that the Red Army was going to rush out of the canyon and tried his best to stop it, and wanted to swallow this Red Army in one bite, so he concentrated his forces on melee combat with the Red Army, otherwise, no matter how tragic the killing was, they only needed to shoot down from the mountain, and they could not rush down the mountain to fight hand-to-hand.

However, judging by the situation on the cleaned battlefield, no matter how much the ambushers paid, they were clearly the victors. The reason for this result is very simple: after the Long March, the Red Army gradually formed an unwritten rule: unless the deceased offered to leave the five-pointed red star, the survivors would take off the five-pointed red star on the deceased's military hat to express their desire and determination to bring the five-pointed red star out of the grassland for the deceased. And on the military cap of the corpse of the Red Army soldier in front of him, the five-pointed red star still exists with blood.

Combined with the situation here, and thinking about the remains of the three Red Army soldiers on the top of the mountain a few hundred meters away, Zhang Qingshan had a rough guess in his heart: those three soldiers took advantage of the chaos to run there after the battle started, or the enemy left in a hurry after the battle, and did not have time to clean up the battlefield, so that the three of them left alive. Then, because the other two warriors were seriously wounded, when the other two warriors ran there, they couldn't hold on, so they preferred to die there, and the warrior couldn't stand what he saw, and in despair, he simply swallowed his gun and committed suicide. There is also a small but possible situation: after the three of them have run here, the enemy will catch up, and in order not to be captured, the three of them will simply do so. And the enemy, respecting the bravery of the trio, left without moving their corpses...... Whatever the case may be, one thing is certain: it's not safe here, and the enemy could come back the way they came at any time to 'clean up the battlefield'. That is, they must leave as soon as possible.

Someone cried again, someone was stunned, someone frowned...... But this is the reality, cold, but helpless.

"Clean up the battlefield, collect food, water and weapons, and after ten minutes, leave immediately, this is the order. ”

Hearing Zhang Qingshan's words, some people opened their mouths to ask something, but when they saw Zhang Qingshan, they shouted in a fierce voice: "The living are great! Hurry up!"

The crowd hastened to action.

But only five minutes later, Lao Tian ran over and reported: "Captain, you can't collect any more, otherwise, it will delay the speed of the march." ”

Seeing Zhang Qingshan looking at him puzzled, Lao Tian explained in a low voice: "We didn't collect anything on the bodies of our comrades, but we found some good things such as cigarettes and canned food on the enemy's body, comrades only thought about the next difficult road, and collected as much as possible, but they didn't think about it, if the weight is too heavy, everyone can't carry it at all, not to mention, there are so many wounded in our team......"

"It's that I haven't thought it through. After Zhang Qingshan apologized directly, he groaned for a while and shouted to everyone: "Listen, don't just focus on collecting, and forget whether you can carry the collected things on your back, in moderation, otherwise, if you carry too much and too much, if you can't walk, it's better to carry less...... You should carry as much food as you can, a weapon is enough, and you can bring more bullets......"

Subsequently, Zhang Qingshan checked one by one, but was surprised to find that as Lao Tian said, everyone tried to memorize as much as possible. Among them, there was a soldier whose left arm was wounded, his face was pale, and he looked like he had lost too much blood and lacked blood, but he actually carried no less than sixty catties, and the angry Zhang Qingshan laughed while unloading his weight.

Even so, when everyone leaves, they are looking back one step at a time, and they are reluctant to give up.

But they don't know that this situation is still good, and in the future, they will be more and more exposed to such sacrifice scenes. And the enemy is not stupid, sooner or later he will find out about the lack of food and ammunition in the Red Army and adjust accordingly......
