October 17th
After two months of treatment, Zhang Qingshan was completely well at this time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but seeing that he was about to be discharged from the hospital, he was reluctant and looking forward to it.
Naturally Xiang Xueqin is reluctant, looking forward to a new position. To tell the truth, Xiang Xueqin was here, and he had already heard some gossip, some said that the military department wanted to transfer him, the former commando captain, to the military headquarters, some said that Wu Zhengqing, the commander of the 17th Division, tried his best to keep him in the special service battalion directly under the division headquarters, and some people said that Liu Yongjiang, the new commander of the 49th Regiment, had suffered heavy casualties in the 49th Regiment, but the commanders, especially the middle-level military commanders who were in urgent need of experience, tried their best to keep Zhang Qingshan in the 49th Regiment...... But no matter what the news is, it is calm on the surface, it has been more than two months, but there has been no specific appointment, which is a bit abnormal, Zhang Qingshan is inevitably a little worried about where he will go.
"Lao Zhang, don't worry so much, this is definitely a good thing. After breakfast, Qi Zixuan finally didn't want to stay in the hospital, so he went to the commando team of the first battalion and the third company of the 49th regiment as the deputy captain, and Zhang Qingshan went to see him off. Qi Zixuan also understood Zhang Qingshan's worries, and when they parted at the fork in the road, Qi Zixuan comforted Zhang Qingshan: "The higher-level leaders all want you, and the more you fight, the more you pay attention to it, which means that you are more talented." Wait, there's always a time for you to laugh. ”
Zhang Qingshan also understands this truth, but there has been no specific news, which makes him a little unsettled. Took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Qi Zixuan, lit it, took a deep breath, smiled faintly, and said, "Old Qi, don't talk about me, talk about you." ”
"What do I have to say. Qi Zixuan pretended to bow his head and smoke: This guy survived, it was a miracle, although he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but the wound was repeatedly inflamed, and even the nurses who took care of him were replaced by two, which became a joke in the hospital - everyone said that he was really a ruthless person, and when he fell in love with a certain nurse, he deliberately injured the wound so that the nurse could take care of him, and as a result, the nurse did not "cold" him. Of course, when others ask if there is such a thing, he will not admit it.
"The commandos are all good at one in a hundred, I hope you and Lao Peng don't learn from me......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan's eyelids drooped, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry for those comrades who sacrificed." ”
"How can I blame you, there is a war, how can there be immortals. Besides, you weren't there at the time, and after inquiring about it during this time, you didn't know what was going on...... With the hardship at that time, half of the casualties were good. You don't know, when we received the order, we were ready to die in battle...... Forget it, don't talk about it, let's talk about something happy. Lao Zhang, when we meet in the future, you are not allowed to put on a leadership stand with me, otherwise, we will not be old comrades-in-arms. ”
"Get out!"
After chatting a few more words, the two separated.
Seeing Qi Zixuan's figure disappear at the corner of the mountain road, Zhang Qingshan sighed, took out another cigarette, lit it, smoked it, and turned around and slowly went back to the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I saw Xiang Xueqin running over and said, "Xiao Zhang, go quickly, your head is looking for you." ”
Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed: The new head Liu Yongjiang came to see himself at this time, there must be good news, and his own destination has been decided.
"Report!"
"Come in. ”
"Hello Captain. ”
After Liu Yongjiang, the new commander of the Red 49th Regiment, returned a military salute, he smiled and quipped: "This is your boy's ward, but you shouted a report, do you blame me for occupying the magpie's nest?"
"Where. I was happy to see the head of the regiment. ”
"You're as good as a monkey. Liu Yongfu used to be promoted from the deputy commander of the first battalion to the commander of the second battalion, and later became the deputy commander of the regiment.
"Hey, hey!"
"Test you, guess where you were assigned?"
"Commander, I'm about to be discharged from the hospital, you are here, needless to say, you must be back in our own group. Zhang Qingshan's eyes were bright and he looked at Liu Yongjiang with some expectation, and asked: "Regiment commander, I heard that there is no battalion commander in the third battalion, should I be the commander of the third battalion?" Regiment commander, don't worry, as long as there is a battle, I will never pick the fat and the thin. ”
"Beauty doesn't kill you, boy. Tell you, the commander of the third battalion has been decided, and it is not your boy's share. ”
"Tsk!" Zhang Qingshan smashed his mouth and said with some disappointment: "I also admit to being a company commander." ”
"There are no vacancies for company commanders. ”
"Hey!" Zhang Qingshan smiled a little unnaturally, couldn't help the disappointment in his heart, and said, "Regiment leader, should you let me be the platoon commander?"
The head of the regiment, Liu Yongjiang, still shook his head with a smile.
"Commander, you can't do this, right? I've become a captain anyway, do I still want to be a squad leader? I'm not 'getting younger and younger' anymore. ”
Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was really anxious, his face turned a little pale, Liu Yongjiang finally didn't tease him anymore, but smiled at the door: "Little tiger, if you want to listen, listen generously, hiding at the door is not your little tiger's character." ”
Eavesdropping was broken, and other girls might run away with red faces, but Xiang Xueqin walked in directly, turned around and closed the door, and stood in front of Liu Yongjiang generously, saying, "Okay, I'll stop directly." ”
Liu Yongjiang never expected that this girl would be so bold and thick-skinned, and she would be so justified after being broken. He glanced at Xiang Xueqin in surprise, and then at Zhang Qingshan, who had a normal face, shook his head helplessly, gave a thumbs up to Xiang Xueqin, and said with a smile: "You are so powerful." ”
"That's nature. Captain Liu, tell me quickly, I really want to know if this guy will really be assigned to the cooking class?"
Hearing this, seeing Zhang Qingshan looking over a little nervously, Liu Yongjiang said solemnly: "Xiao Zhang, now I will give you a top-secret mission on behalf of the organization and the general headquarters of the legion......
Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiang Xueqin. Xiang Xueqin was really smart, turned around and left: "Commander, I forgot that I still have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first." ”
"You don't have to shy away from it, you have a part in this task. ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh ”
"Commander, tell me what the task is?"
In view of the success of the Central Red Army's Long March, the Kuomintang had no choice but to take the Central Red Army for a while, so it was determined to eat the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps. According to various intelligence, the next time to "encircle and suppress" the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, Lao Jiang will make a desperate effort and may send hundreds of thousands of horses. In order to break out of the enemy's encirclement, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps also began to make preparations while the enemy was dispatching troops and did not move...... Some people are reluctant to take the base areas in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and suggest that after jumping out of the enemy's encirclement, they should fight a guerrilla attack with the enemy and find an opportunity to fight back; while others want to take the road of the Central Red Army and go on a long march to northern Shaanxi so that the three main forces of the Red Army can join forces.
Whether it is jumping out of the enemy's encirclement or on the Long March, it needs to be pioneers. In view of the success of the commando, this pioneer naturally has to do the same, and Zhang Qingshan, the former commando captain, is naturally valued. The higher authorities decided that while there was still time, the 17th Red Division would transfer manpower to form an assault company of about 100 people (some people call it a plainclothes team, but I think it would be better to call it an assault company -- a little hobby of the individual, everyone laughed it off) and became a pioneer in the road. For reasons of secrecy, this assault company is still under the name of the 49th Regiment, and Regiment Commander Liu Yongjiang is also the instructor of the assault company -- this can be seen from the importance attached by the higher authorities to this elite soldier.
The reason why Xiang Xueqin was able to know about this mission was because the mission of the assault company was dangerous and destined for a high sacrifice rate and needed the best nurses. Xiang Xueqin's outstanding performance is the best choice.
It's exciting to be a part of something so important.
"Captain, I must attend...... I've wanted to go to the front for a long time. ”
"Commander, I ......"
"Xiao Zhang, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Zhang Qingshan was about to express his position, but was interrupted by Liu Yongjiang: "The company commander of this assault company is Comrade Hu Yingze, and you are the deputy captain." Of course, you have another option, there is still a lack of a deputy battalion commander to the Yongsan Independent Battalion, if you want to go, you can ...... Xiao Zhang, as your old leader, I have something to say. It's about your future, and once you've made a decision, you don't have a chance to regret it, so you have to think about it. ”
In fact, the superiors designated the principal and deputy captains at the beginning, and it was Wu Zhengqing, the commander of the 17th Division, who won Zhang Qingshan a choice. The Longshan Independent Battalion was full of Longshan people (in mid-May 1935, it was formed by the merger of the guerrilla brigades in Hongyanxi, Maoping, Ciyantang and other districts, and Xie Shuguang picked up the battalion commander and political commissar...... Xiang Xueqin was also designated to join, otherwise, she would not have stood here to hear such a top-secret mission, although this top-secret would be made public soon.
At this time, it is time to test a Communist Party member's view of the overall situation: To say privately, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and there is no need to think about it from the rank alone, and the deputy captain of the assault team is definitely not as high as the deputy commander of the Longshan Independent Battalion, not to mention that the danger that the assault company will face in the future can be imagined by everyone, and it may be more appropriate to call it a death squad. However, from the perspective of the overall situation, the assault company is more able to give full play to its strengths, and the assault company, as the vanguard of the Long March, absolutely lacks a commander like Zhang Qingshan who has combat experience in this field.
"Regiment commander, I didn't say anything, I'll go to the assault company. But I have two requests. ”
"Hey, you're really good at taking the chance, talk about it. ”
"First, I want to select all the people from our three companies commando team into the assault company......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan glanced at Liu Yongjiang and said: "Regiment leader, it's not that I pull the mountain and make a small group, but every member of the commando team has experience in this area, so naturally they all have to be pulled in." ”
"No problem. The superiors also decided so, and gave you and Lao Hu the right to choose from the whole army. Tell me about your second request. ”
Zhang Qingshan glanced at Xiang Xueqin beside him and touched the back of his head: "She is a girl's house, so she doesn't have to go to the assault company, right?"
Everyone knows that as the pioneer of the Red Army's Long March, the danger of the assault company is almost equivalent to dancing with death. Zhang Qingshan really didn't want to see a girl, especially someone he liked, participate in such a dangerous mission......
