"Company commander, it's not good. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Baoyu, what's wrong? Seeing Zhou Baoyu's panicked look, he quipped: "Didn't I say you, what kind of company commander is not good, don't I do it well? Baoyu! You have participated in the revolution for more than half a year, and you are a veteran, how can you ......?"
"Company commander, something happened to your cousin (wife). Because the relationship between Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin has long been an open secret, even the regiment commander and the division commander have personally said that "after the victory of the Long March, the division commander will be the marriage witness, and the regiment commander will be the matchmaker, and the wedding will be held for them", with the endorsement of the division commander and the regiment commander, naturally no one will pursue this matter - this is not only an expectation of the soldiers' pursuit of beautiful things, but also a positive hint that everyone is optimistic about Zhang Qingshan's future and focuses on training. Therefore, when everyone joked about them in private, they all called Xiang Xueqin the cousin of the company commander.
"Boom~!"
The wine bowl he was holding fell on the table all of a sudden, Zhang Qingshan did not have the calm consciousness of the veteran Taishan who pressed the top and did not change his face, and when the wine bowl was still rolling on the table, he grabbed Zhou Baoyu and asked viciously: "Say! What happened to her?"
"I heard that she was seriously injured and is being taken to the headquarters hospital for emergency ......"
"How do you know?" Wang Wu on the side ran out when he saw Zhang Qingshan's face change drastically, and hurriedly asked. Zhang Qingshan also stopped his pace, turned around and looked at Zhou Baoyu: Although comrades often joke with each other, this kind of joke is not funny at all. In case it was really a joke, Zhang Qingshan decided to beat Zhou Baoyu hard.
In the first battle at the three forks, there were about 30 wounded soldiers in the assault company and the third red company, of which seven or eight were seriously wounded (mainly because the third red company in order to hold back the enemy and give the assault company the greatest support, it was hard to withstand the attack of the enemy several times its own, so there were many wounded. The assault company suffered a lot of ear injuries mainly because of the big explosion, but as long as it did not become deaf on the spot, it was relatively easy to recover. A few seriously wounded people were dying and could not be transported to the field hospital of the Niulanba headquarters, but there were not enough medical personnel, let alone the equipment for surgery, so they could only do some simple first aid while asking the headquarters hospital for help, asking them to send surgeons with equipment and medicines to rescue the seriously injured at the fork.
Xiang Xueqin was worried about Zhang Qingshan's safety, but when she heard that the assault company was damaged, she thought that she hadn't seen Zhang Qingshan for several days, so she took the initiative to come with both public and private use.
A group of paramedics rushed to the scene under the protection of a company, originally thinking that such a military escort would be absolutely safe. Unexpectedly, halfway through, there were actually enemy stragglers who shot cold shots (it was later found out that the local reactionary landlord armed forces saw the Kuomintang army coming, and thought that the time had come to turn the sky upside down, so they took the initiative to jump out and happened to meet this group of people. They didn't dare to fight head-on, but they could hide in the dense forest and shoot a few shots and then take advantage of the terrain to run away, they still dared, and they could also ask the Kuomintang for credit afterwards). Unfortunately, a female nurse surnamed Xiang died on the spot...... The fellow soldier Zhou Baoyu met came to give an order to the 49th Regiment, reminding the 49th Regiment not to be careless, especially to pay attention to the surrounding area being harassed by the enemy stragglers who had just been defeated, and to protect the lives and property of the people as much as possible......
As soon as Zhang Qingshan heard this, he ran out. Several soldiers hurriedly chased after him, and after Wang Wu dropped a few dimes to the boss, he chased after Zhou Baoyu and asked, "Are you sure it's your sister-in-law?"
"I don't know, my fellow villager can't call her name, but I just heard everyone call her Xiaoxiang. ”
Zhang Qingshan was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly to Xiang Xueqin's side all at once. After running for twenty or thirty meters, the more Zhang Qingshan ran, the slower he felt, and the more impatient his mood became. It just so happened that there were two people riding two horses in front of him, and Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed.
Rushing forward, he grabbed the reins of the horse on the left with his left hand, grabbed the man on the horse with his right hand, and shouted, "Borrow your horse and use it." ”
How do you know that the other party's riding skills are good, Zhang Qingshan's pull not only did not pull the other party off the horse, but the other party raised the horsewhip and shouted while making a posture to beat: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Qingshan, who just wanted to rush to Xiang Xueqin's side one step earlier, would talk nonsense with him, so he took out the box gun and pointed at the other party, his eyes widened angrily, maybe the other party was frightened by Zhang Qingshan's momentum, or he was really afraid that Zhang Qingshan would shoot under resistance, and he was pulled off the horse by Zhang Qingshan and fell to the ground very smoothly.
"You're robbing in broad daylight, I'm going to sue you!"
Zhang Qingshan didn't answer at all, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly, and went down with a whip, the horse neighed, and rushed forward.
At the same time, Wang Wu also rushed to the other horse, this knight was very self-aware, knowing that Xiucai had met a soldier - there was a reason that could not be explained, and he did not need Wang Wu to do it, and he dismounted very consciously.
Don't look at Wang Wu's usual temper, but after all, it's none of his business, and he is somewhat more sensible.
Hearing the guy who was pulled off the horse by Zhang Qingshan shouting like this, he knew that something bad was going to happen, but the horses were all ridden away by Zhang Qingshan, and no matter how he explained it, it was in vain. He touched his body, was happy, took out the pocket watch issued by his superiors to them to watch the time when he commanded the operation, handed it to the other party, and said: "The matter is urgent, borrow your horse for use, this pocket watch should be mortgaged to you, turn around, you go to the 49th Regiment Assault Company to get the horse." ”
didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and ordered the other soldiers: "You don't have to follow, go back and tell the instructor about the matter, and I'll follow the company commander to have a look." ”
"Brother Wu, take me. ”
Wang Wu bent down and pulled Zhou Baoyu onto the horse, and the two beat the horse away. Leave the two men who were robbed of their horses and ask who these two guys are?
Interestingly, if they were elsewhere, perhaps the soldiers would have deliberately concealed it for their commanders, and most of them would not have told them the names of Zhang Qingshan and Wang Wu. But the assault company is a proud man, and a good man is a good man! I told them both directly, and even my position was very clear, if you have the ability, you should come and find trouble, and I will continue to be proud.
I hurried all the way to Niulanba, asked about the temporary location of the field hospital of the headquarters, rushed to the gate of the hospital, didn't even tie the horse, jumped off the horse and galloped in, shouting: "Xiang Xueqin! Xiang Xueqin ......."
It happened that a female nurse was passing by with a plate and a bunch of blood-stained cotton balls on the plate, and when she heard him shouting so much, she scolded him angrily: "This comrade, this is a hospital, patients need to rest quietly, please do not make noise." ”
Zhang Qingshan didn't care about this, but asked, "This comrade, where is Xiang Xueqin?"
I don't know if I really don't know him or I don't like his recklessness just now, the nurse replied directly: "I don't know!", after speaking, she turned around and left.
Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to run inside, and met another person who was covered in blood and was trotting in front of him with a few boxes of medicines, Zhang Qingshan hurriedly stopped her: "This comrade, where is Xiang Xueqin?"
The female nurse snorted inside and ran.
I asked the two nurses one after another, and they both said that they were inside.
When he came to a small lawn, Zhang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, staring at the right side, where five bodies covered with white cloth were parked, and several women were putting some wild flowers on each body to pay respect. Although their bodies and heads were covered with white cloths, their feet were exposed, and four of the bodies showed large feet in straw sandals, which looked like men. But the body closest to Zhang Qingshan was a relatively small foot, and the head was not completely covered with a white cloth, revealing two small braids, and at a glance it was a woman. Thinking about what Zhou Baoyu said before, Zhang Qingshan immediately decided that this was Xiang Xueqin's body. What's more, when a female nurse happened to pass by, she paused, shouted sadly, "Sister Xiang, you go well", wiped her tears, and left in a hurry - there are many wounded, so these good sisters have no time to come to pay tribute, so they can only cry so simply when passing by, express their grief, and then endure their grief to save people.
Zhang Qingshan's teeth clenched, his fists clenched, his whole body tensed, and the bits and pieces with Xiang Xueqin kept coming to his mind: she was spicy, greedy, and cheerful...... In particular, when we parted on the eve of the Long March, the phrase "goodbye! See you again," but now, how can we meet each other? The more I think about it, the more Zhang Qingshan grieves and regrets.
Looking at it, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth suddenly, wanting to look up to the sky and howl, but he felt a whirlwind of heaven and earth, and suddenly softened to the ground.
Some people around were looking at this guy who rushed in in in a hurry, and when they saw him fainting all of a sudden, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him in surprise.
Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Qingshan immediately stood up again, pushed everyone away, and stumbled to the body. Reaching out to uncover the white cloth, but when he was about to grab the white cloth, Zhang Qingshan's right hand retracted as if it encountered invisible resistance. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say a word. His eyes were rapidly reddening and tears glittering......
There were also a few comrades who were afraid that something would happen to him.
Looking at it, Zhang Qingshan seemed to have gathered enough strength, knelt in front of the body, and screamed bitterly while pounding the ground with his fists: "Xiao Xiang, I'm sorry for you! I failed to protect you, and I didn't even see you for the last time before you sacrificed, listen to you...... I regret it! I should not have transferred you back to the headquarters in the first place, if you had stayed by my side, how could you have had an accident, how could you have made me ...... God, you were so cruel that you took away everything I love the most, why? Why did you do this to me...... Woo~!Woo~!"
At the end of the shout, Zhang Qingshan couldn't cry anymore. His head touched the ground, his hands pulled his hair stiffly, and he whimpered and cried.
The comrades on the side also wiped their tears with empathy, not to mention that the women who were laying flowers all gathered around to accompany and cry, even the wounded and nurses who passed by also came over to wipe their tears and cry.
At this moment, there are no policies and military regulations, only grief for the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms, grief and indignation for God's unfairness, and deep regret for a pair of beautiful lovers who are separated forever...... Although the policy clearly stipulates that if you do not reach the level, you are not allowed to fall in love. But nurses are the treasures of the hearts of the soldiers, who does not have a few admirers? Who does not yearn for good things? Since the object of affection has been sacrificed, then, at this time, it is human nature for the admirer to express his affection for her, and it is better not to mention anything else, otherwise, if the grief does something bad in a rage, then you can only be considered unlucky.
It is not uncommon for a Red Army soldier to have a crush on a female nurse, but after the female nurse died, she specially ran to kneel and cry in disregard of policies and military regulations, such a bleak thing is rare, and it immediately caused a sensation in the entire hospital, attracting countless people to come and watch......
