Chapter 225: The Battle of the Gravel River 1
readx;?“ Comrades, to be honest, I love cleanliness more than any of you, and I have long wanted to take a good shower and solve personal hygiene. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the problem is that the current situation is relatively special, not to mention bathing in the river, even if you take a bath in the rain, you don't dare to take a bath. ”
After a slight pause, seeing that everyone stood up and looked over, he continued to explain: "Everyone touch the river, feel the coldness of the river, and then look up to feel how cold the wind blows, we can imagine, now we can take a shower happily, but after washing, everyone has a cold and fever, but we don't have a doctor around us, and there is not even a medicine to treat cold and fever." So, once you catch a cold and fever, you can't go the next way...... Therefore, comrades, it is not that I, Zhang Qingshan, am unkind, but that the current situation does not allow it. So, don't hate me, let's wash up as soon as possible and get some rest. ”
Seeing that the happiness of the comrades disappeared all of a sudden, although they were very obedient and put on their clothes, but everyone showed an unhappy look, Sun Zhiping hurriedly added loudly: "Comrades, what the captain said is reasonable, everyone will implement it." However, if you really feel that your body stinks, you can still scrub your body properly with water, but you can't take off your clothes. And, as I said, I had to start a fire, so that everyone could get dressed and go to the fire immediately after wiping their bodies. Otherwise, if you really have a cold and fever, you will be in trouble. ”
This was immediately echoed by everyone, and many people didn't even wash their faces, but went back to the shore directly, took out the dried cow and sheep dung collected along the way, and lit a fire...... Although you can't take a bath directly, considering what Zhang Qingshan just said, everyone knows what to do. Now, it's better to be able to scrub your body than to continue to make your body smell of sweat, right?
Zhang Qingshan wiped his body with river water, felt much refreshed, twisted the washkerchief, stood up straight, felt the river breeze, and glanced at the other side of the river by the way, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked back at the river bank behind him, as if he felt that he had found the root of the problem, but he couldn't say anything specific. Look across the river......
After sweeping back and forth three times back and forth between the river bank and the other side of the river, I finally figured out what the problem was: the river bank behind me (the right bank of the river) was a little lower than the other side of the river. Judging from Zhang Qingshan's current position, the right bank is a slope of five or six degrees upwards, and when he stood up, his eyes were full of flat rivers, and he even saw the horizon as far as his eyes could see. But on the left bank of the river, there is a ridge, the highest place is more than two meters, and the lowest place is about one meter, and from his current position, only the ridge can be seen.
Even if they are facing the same environment, ordinary people will not care about this trivial problem at all. But in Zhang Qingshan's eyes, this is a huge problem: if we set up camp on the right bank, if the same number of enemies lurk close to thirty or forty meters in the middle of the night, and suddenly rush over, I am afraid that before everyone can run to the other side of the river, we will lose most of the loss, and eventually lead to the annihilation of the whole army. But if we put the camp on the left bank, we can at least guarantee that if the enemy attacks the camp from the right bank, they will at least have to cross the river first, so that we will not only have enough time to react, but also ensure that when the enemy crosses the river, they will have to pay a certain price, and even the remaining enemy will not dare to attack from the opposite side at all. Moreover, geographically, the left bank is somewhat higher than the right bank, which is good not only for observation, but also for shooting and covering. In this way, at least the superiority of the left bank over the right bank can be guaranteed. As for the enemy's attack from the other side of the left bank, we can at least focus our main defensive efforts on this side in advance.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but look carefully with his eyes, but he didn't see the sentry after looking for a long time. Thinking that it was the camouflage suit that worked, Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed, and had to ask Sun Zhiping, who was in charge of arranging the reconnaissance and sentry: "Old Sun, where are our sentinels?"
Sun Zhiping was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his forehead: "Oh! Blame me, blame me." As soon as I saw Xiaohe, I was so excited that I forgot to arrange this...... Lao Zhang, I'll review it for you when I go back, and now, I'll arrange it right away. ”
"Forget it, let's not disturb them. After so many days, comrades are rarely happy, so let them be more happy...... Have you washed it?"
"Alright. ”
"Okay, let's go across the river and smoke a cigarette?"
When I came to the other side of the river, I saw a flat river in front of me, and in the distance, it was estimated that there were at least more than 20 miles of road, and only a few raised points appeared. Looking back at the road from the right bank, I immediately have the feeling of climbing high and looking into the distance - in fact, the highest point is only two or three meters high, but on this great plain, as far as the eye can see, a flat river, this feeling of climbing high and looking far away is leisurely.
They are all soldiers, and they are all accustomed to looking at problems from the perspective of soldiers. After Sun Zhiping looked back and forth, he smashed his mouth and said, "It seems that we have to camp here tonight." ”
"I called you here because I thought of it. ”
Afterwards, the two of them did not speak, sat on the ground, smoked cigarettes, and quietly watched the comrades frolicking in the river - some things, just a reminder is enough, they all know what to do, and if they talk too carefully, they will hurt the harmony. For example, one of Sun Zhiping's responsibilities is to be responsible for the security of the camp, and if Zhang Qingshan says that he should focus his vigilance on the left now, how to arrange the deployment, no matter how generous Sun Zhiping is, his heart will be unhappy. On the contrary, when Sun Zhiping finished arranging the deployment and Zhang Qingshan inspected it, he pointed out where there were deficiencies and where they needed to be strengthened, which made it easy for people to accept, which was not only his duty, but also his ability. A soldier is a soldier who is more capable than himself.
When a cigarette was about to be smoked, Sun Zhiping flicked the cigarette butt into the river with his fingers and said calmly: "Lao Zhang, I thought about it carefully just now, do you think we can divide a small number of people to go to the right bank?"
Zhang Qingshan turned his head puzzled and commented on him.
"The main thing is that I feel that in this way, whether the enemy charges us from the left bank or the right bank, the people on the other side will play the role of responding. In this case, at least there is a guarantee that there will be no total annihilation. ”
At this time, it is an opportunity to show one's personal ability, and besides, when military personnel talk about deployment, they will say it more directly -- the discussion is about official affairs, and it is normal for everyone to slap the table and argue, and in private, everyone is still good friends and brothers, but if they make too many twists and turns in official affairs, they are doomed to be self-defeating, and good things may become bad things. Therefore, Zhang Qingshan shook his head unceremoniously and pointed out: "This is equivalent to dividing troops to guard, and it is absolutely not advisable." ”
Seeing Sun Zhiping looking over, Zhang Qingshan continued to explain: "First, our numbers are already small, and if we concentrate our forces to fight with the invading enemy, there is still hope for victory, but if we divide our troops, even if the other side has fewer people than us, and attack one of our points, we will all suffer a big loss; second, if the enemy attacks both sides at the same time, the camps on both sides of us will not only not appear to be horns for each other, but may even be a burden to each other. Based on these two points, I don't think it's advisable to split up the camp. ”
Sun Zhiping lowered his head and was silent for a moment, nodded, took out a cigarette, and continued to look at the scene of frolicking in the river.
However, Zhang Qingshan was a little surprised by his silence: Judging from the contact in the past few days, you are usually a cheerful person, how did you become a stuffy gourd today?
"Old Sun, why are you so silent today, something?"
Sun Zhiping glanced at Zhang Qingshan, looked into the distance again, nodded, and said with a bit of heaviness in his tone: "I'm worried about how to go on the road ahead." ”
"What is there to worry about, whether it is life or death, as long as you do your best. As he spoke, Zhang Qingshan fell backwards, pulled the weeds with his hand, put them in his mouth, and chewed them little by little.
Sun Zhiping looked at him like this, and then thought about his words, and finally showed a little smile on his face: "That's what I said, no matter what, even if I die, I will waste a bullet from the enemy, and I can be regarded as doing my best for the revolution." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Qingshan glanced at him, but he didn't say anything, but he just wondered in his heart: What's wrong with the old grandson today?
In fact, Sun Zhiping didn't have a big deal, but he felt that this journey was too smooth, and he didn't even see a single hair of those horse bandits in Zhou Baoyu's mouth, which made him always worry that he would have to face a stormy blow in the next moment. To put it bluntly, this is the difference in people's personalities and experiences that determines that everyone's mentality is very different when facing problems. Sun Zhiping always has a sense of crisis that is not confident, while Zhang Qingshan is in a free and easy state of doing his best everywhere he goes, and life and death depend on the sky. From this point of view, even if Sun Zhiping is a few years older than Zhang Qingshan, he is not as mature and stable as Zhang Qingshan.
After dinner, Zhang Qingshan ordered everyone to move to the left bank, and not to extinguish the fire left on the right bank.
Sun Zhiping doesn't have a sixth sense, it's just that his personality is too peaceful, so he always feels that something is going to happen, but he doesn't know when something will happen - it's better to have an accident immediately, at least, and he can kill the enemy happily, so as not to suffer as frightened as he is now. So, others can rest, but he can't sleep anyway. simply found Zhou Baoyu, who was feeding the horses, and asked him to talk about his previous experience in detail, especially the fact that he was robbed by horse bandits continuously.
His personality determined that after listening to it, he not only did not feel at ease, but became more worried, and simply found Zhang Qingshan, who was lying on his stomach in a relatively low place and smoking.
As soon as he said what he was worried about, Zhang Qingshan smiled. At first, he was interested in thinking with him, but gradually, Zhang Qingshan lost interest in the conversation - the key is that Sun Zhiping is like a resentful woman, worried about this and that, and has to break the casserole to ask questions about any problem, and loves to drill the horns. In the end, Zhang Qingshan's heart gradually became angry, and he didn't bother to discuss it with him: Although it is a good thing that you are worried about everyone's safety, it is not a matter for you to be so worried, and the impact is not good. If this is the case for a long time, it will definitely disturb everyone's peace, so it is better to find a way to make you feel at ease, so as not to have a good rest tonight.
