Chapter 146: Continuing the Long March

"Lao Zhang, what are you going to do with the last five watermelons?" After Hu Yingze finished eating the watermelon he received, he lit a cigarette, thought about it, and said: "This thing is rare, I really have to send some to everyone, but the problem is that these five watermelons are too few, if they are given to the regiment, the division commander is not thin on our assault company, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to send them, but if they are all sent, it will be too little, and it seems insincere, not to mention those leaders." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info alas~! It's a headache to think about. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly: "I finally understand why the rich man of our village will say every time he sees his three unsuccessful sons, 'The wolf has more meat and less meat, but how can I get it~!'"

Zhang Qingshan and other comrades also had a headache, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Tian Guozhong, who was on the side, thought about it and said with a smile: "Instructor, company commander, do you think this will work?"

"Lao Tian, everyone is their own comrades, don't be an instructor, just call me Lao Hu. By the way, what do you have to do?"

"I think it's better to throw the problem directly at our superiors and let them have a headache than giving us a headache. ”

"Lao Tian, do you mean to give all these five watermelons to the group and let the group arrange them themselves?"

"That's right! In this way, as soon as others hear that we sent it to the assault company, they will count this favor on our assault company. But if some people have less or no shares, it will be said that the headquarters of the 49th Regiment will not do anything, and they will not blame our assault company. In this way, we take the benefits, but the responsibility is borne by the top. ”

"Okay! That's a good idea, just do it. Hu Yingze clapped his hands excitedly and smiled at Tian Guozhong: "Now, I finally know why Lao Zhang recommended you so strongly, it seems that your ability is really not small." ”

Immediately, he took out a cigarette, gave Tian Guozhong a cigarette, and helped him light it...... Don't look at this small cigarette and light it, its significance is huge for Tian Guozhong: because it means that the assault company headed by Hu Yingze has officially accepted him as a member of the assault company. Otherwise, if you were not smoked or lit by Zhang Qingshan or Hu Yingze, although on the surface you were assigned to the assault company, in the heart of the assault company, you are still an outsider. This is the rule that each company accepts people by itself, although some methods are different, but the meaning is similar.

Subsequently, thanks to the love of the people this time, Zhang Qingshan received a lot of gifts, most of which were eating and drinking, so that more than 100 people in the assault company let go of their bellies and ate two meals fiercely. And Zhang Qingshan also gave Tian Guozhong a cigarette and lit a cigarette in public, and everyone understood it at a glance, and they came forward to toast Tian Guozhong, including a few people who said they didn't know where Zhang Qingshan was.

Just when Tian Guozhong was drunk, Zhang Qingshan carried two watermelons and took Zhou Baoyu, who was holding a large bag of gifts specially selected by the seven treasures, to the headquarters hospital.

Not to mention, most of these doctors and nurses graduated from medical schools in big cities, so they are really well-informed, and many people call out their names when they see watermelons. Even Gen Xiang Xueqin's best friend sighed with envy: Someone is always concerned and thinks about it, and you can eat anything delicious. Not to mention anything else, just take watermelon, this is a rarity, especially in this remote mountainous area, and it is difficult to buy it in big cities at this time, but Zhang Lian Chang specially got two.

Xiang Xueqin said that she was like a little hen, giggling with happiness on her face. And Zhang Qingshan boasted triumphantly.

But after all, there were only two watermelons, one for the wounded, the other cut in half for the doctors, and the remaining half for Xueqin and her girlfriends to enjoy. But this time Zhang Qingshan received not only many gifts but also rich variety, all kinds of toffee add up to thirteen catties, and the most surprising thing is that there are actually two catties of toffee with chocolate, which is definitely a rarity. Those seven treasures can be regarded as interesting, and their subordinates are merciful, knowing that Zhang Qingshan wants to use these things to curry favor with Xiang Xueqin, so he specially wrapped a large bag of things for Xiang Xueqin: four catties of toffee, one catty of chocolate toffee, apples, pears and other fruits are even more categorical.

Xiang Xueqin's face was full of red light, which also made the girlfriends next to him even more envious. And these things naturally can't be like watermelons, Xiang Xueqin is rare and generous to keep only a little of everything, and the rest is all distributed to everyone, and he specially instructed to leave some for the wounded......

The attraction of toffee is huge, even if you know that staying is the treatment of a light bulb, but you still make these greedy foodies bravely cheeky and insist on staying. Just like the little girl who grabbed the toffee with Zhou Baoyu last time, she said while trying to eat the toffee, "My torch is smaller, and I have to eat it quickly, otherwise, Sister Xueqin will sooner or later can't stand my light and beat me...... But the problem is that having said that, she didn't have the slightest intention of lifting her ass and leaving, which shows how attractive this toffee is.

It was only when they sent Zhang Qingshan out that the two had time alone. As far as I know, if you stay, I'm afraid that the people of the county, whether they are big or poor, will be willing to support you for a lifetime. ”

"What did you say? I'll have you enough in my life. ”

Xiang Xueqin nodded with a smile and took the initiative to take Zhang Qingshan's hand. The two of them just stood like this, silent for a long time, and it was really better to be silent than sound.

However, no matter how good the drama is, there is a moment when the curtain will end, and no matter how wonderful the life is, there will be a dull day, Wanxian is only one of the county towns passed by the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps after all, and tomorrow, the Red Army will leave Wanxian and continue the Long March. And Zhang Qingshan becoming a member of the cooking class will eventually become a reality.

The people flocked to the gate of the city and bid farewell to the Red Army with tears, especially when they saw Zhang Qingshan riding on a tall horse, they cheered even more, which shows that although Xiang Xueqin's words were a joke about Zhang Qingshan, it also showed how high Zhang Qingshan's image was among the people of the county...... Hu Yingze didn't know where to find such a big white horse, and insisted that Zhang Qingshan ride out of the city. Zhang Qingshan disagreed, saying that Lao Tzu is now a cook, not a warrior, and not a leader. The leaders are all walking out of the city, just me on horseback, like what?

In the end, it was Hu Yingze who begged him, saying that this was for the sake of the Red Army and the assault company, and that even if you disregard the overall situation, you have to think about your own future, and you can't really be a cook for the rest of your life.

Zhang Qingshan felt that this crime was too big, he was ready to be shot at the beginning, and now, it is Wanxing to be able to pick up a life. Even if he is extremely unwilling to be so lonely in the depths of his soul and thinks about how to turn over, he feels that with a big turmoil and few opportunities, he will not have the opportunity to rise until at least after the end of the Long March.

However, he never dreamed that he had only been a cook for a month, and then he was reinstated by the direct line officer on the battlefield.

After the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps left Wanxian, on January 19, 1936, the leaders of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, He Long, Xiao Ke, Xia Xi, and others held a meeting in Shiqian, and decided to abandon the original plan and strive to establish a base area in the northwest of Guizhou in light of the current situation. Subsequently, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps broke through the enemy's blockade line, feinted to attack Guiyang, rushed to cross the Yachi River, and captured Qianxi, Dading (now Dafang), Bijie and other county seats. On February 8, the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Provincial Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Soviet People's Republic was established in Dading, which was established and launched a vigorous political power building and armed struggle.

The Red Army's entry into Guizhou and its revolutionary activities in the revolutionary base areas of northwestern Guizhou made Chiang Kai-shek anxious to get rid of them as soon as possible. In order to strengthen the strength of the encirclement and suppression of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, Chiang Kai-shek personally flew from Nanjing to Guiyang on January 28 for deployment, and ordered Gu Zhutong to command the five columns of the Kuomintang Central Army and the Wan Yaohuang Column, which was fighting against the Red Fourth Front Army in Sichuan, to transfer back to Guizhou to encircle and annihilate the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, and ordered the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, and the Guizhou Army to be stationed closely on the periphery. In total, 81 regiments were invested.

At this time, the Red First and Third Army Corps had already reached northern Shaanxi on a long march, and the Red Fourth Front Army withdrew from western Sichuan and entered the Ganzi region of Xikang due to Zhang Guotao's separatism. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek was able to mobilize heavy troops in the southwest to encircle and suppress the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, resulting in the strategic transfer of the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps in Guizhou becoming a key target of the enemy's encirclement and suppression.

At that time, the structure of the 2nd and 6th Red Divisions was incomplete, with only 6 divisions and 15 regiments, of which only the 4th, 6th, and 17th Divisions were better equipped and had strong combat effectiveness, and the remaining 6 regiments were temporarily formed during the transfer of transmission, and their equipment and combat effectiveness were relatively weak. In terms of total strength, the ratio of the strength of the enemy and us is 6;1. However, the enemy had artillery on the ground and planes in the air for reconnaissance and bombing, and when the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps entered northwest Guizhou, due to their unfamiliarity with the geographical situation, they made strategic mistakes, and only occupied the Yachi River crossing, the gateway from Guiyang to northwest Guizhou, and did not seize another communication artery.

At the beginning of February 1936, after the Red Army occupied Qianxi, it did not occupy the strategic Sanzhongyan and other key areas in Qianxi County, nor did it take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to eliminate it...... In addition to the unfamiliarity of the geography, another major reason was that the strategic shift was going on at that time.

The enemy Hao Mengling's column followed, rushing to the northwest of Guizhou, and the enemy reserve force that followed also came to the Yachi River. Although the Red Army was brave and good at fighting, it was unable to engage in positional warfare because the disparity between the forces of the enemy and ours was too great, and it had to adopt flexible and mobile strategies and tactics in order to maneuver with the enemy and encircle the base areas.

In order to smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression, to protect the nascent red revolutionary regime, to mobilize the enemy, and to create conditions for destroying the enemy in a mobile war, He Long and Xiao Ke personally commanded the three main divisions of the Red Army to meet the enemy.
