Chapter Seventy-Six: Becoming a Commissioner
readx;
"Lao Peng, you said, Lao Hu and they have been to the headquarters for two days, why don't they have a letter yet?" Late at night, in Zhang Qingshan's dormitory, Zhang Qingshan and Peng Peng were drinking and chatting while peeling peanuts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing Peng Peng's brows furrowed slightly, Zhang Qingshan was taken aback and said, "You won't be ambushed by bandits or reactionaries, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Qingshan shook his head again and said to himself: "It shouldn't be, otherwise, there would have been news about this a long time ago." Can...... Alas~!I'm really worried about Lao Hu. ”
Two days ago, Hu Yingze took Xiaohu and another female nurse to the headquarters under the protection of a class...... Because they did not capture the county town of Longshan, and because of the pressure on the territory of Lao Chiang's troops, the arrogance of the reactionaries became arrogant again, and bandits or local reactionary forces who had been either driven out of the base areas or driven to hide in the mountains and old forests had some resurgences, and there were recently several cases of sneak attacks on lone Red Army soldiers and peasant union cadres. In order to ensure Hu Yingze's safety, just in case, Zhang Qingshan forcibly sent a squad to Lao Hu.
Originally, it was said that no matter whether there was a result or not, they would go the same day and return the next day, but now that two days have passed, Hu Yingze and the others are like sinking into the sea, and they will never return, without any news, which makes Zhang Qingshan a little unable to sit still.
"I see that you are restless, I'm afraid you are not only worried about Lao Hu, but also worried about your family, right?"
"Lao Peng, don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her at all......"
"Load! Keep loading! Not to mention our assault company, even the whole regiment knows that you two are going to go through the formalities of obtaining certificates. ”
"Lao Peng, you said that I don't care, but she is from the girl's family, so she can't ruin the reputation of others. ”
"That's right. Peng Peng nodded slightly, touched the wine bowl with Zhang Qingshan, and was about to drink it, but suddenly came back to his senses, put down the bowl, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, what you said is not authentic, it is obviously your business, why has it become my sin?"
"It meant to be. I'm nothing with her, but you have to pull us together, I'...... Forget it, come on, drink. ”
Peng Peng took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "However, it's okay for you two to come together." I believe that it won't take two or three years for you to become the deputy head of the regiment, and when the time comes, you will be able to apply for marriage to the organization openly...... They are all revolutionary comrades, and there will be a few more small revolutionaries in the future......"
Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was about to open his mouth, Peng Peng gossiped in a low voice: "Tell me, where has it been developed?"
Zhang Qingshan's heart was happy, and he drank a little numbness, and when he was excited, he didn't have the door on his lips. got closer, and began to brag in a low voice: "Actually, it hasn't developed to any point, it's just holding hands, and there are ......"
"Hah, ha! I hear, I hear, what else, say it...... Hey, Xiao Xiang, don't run away! Men are unmarried, women are unmarried, and they are all revolutionary comrades, and it is a great thing to come together generously...... Xiao Xiang, don't run over there...... What are you laughing at? Stop it, or you'll fall into the pit. ”
As soon as he heard Hu Yingze's 'rampant' laughter, Zhang Qingshan knew that Hu Yingze did it on purpose. Coupled with Peng Peng's stunned squatting and laughing on the ground after holding his stomach, Zhang Qingshan was annoyed and angry, and stood up with a brush, pointing at Peng Peng, but glared angrily at Hu Yingze, who pushed the door in.
"Lao Zhang, what do you think of me like this?" After Hu Yingze entered the door, he consciously ignored Zhang Qingshan's murderous gaze, put down his satchel easily, and said solemnly as he walked over: "I didn't hear anything, but I just want to remind Xiao Xiang that there is a thatched house over there, and if you run around with your face covered, you can ...... if you fall into the thatched pit."
"Hah, ha......"
Hu Yingze, who was originally wilted and deliberately serious, heard Peng Peng's uncontrollable laughter, his stiff face collapsed instantly, and he laughed vigorously, Zhang Qingshan's face was so rosy that he couldn't wait to kick these two guys out one by one.
sat down, deliberately put on a straight face, looked at these two villains with a smile on his face, for a while, there was really nothing he could do. You can only peel peanuts, and chew the peanuts with a crisp sound, as if you are chewing bones.
waited until the two guys laughed and sat down on the chair with a stomachache and tried to restrain themselves, Zhang Qingshan handed Hu Yingze a bowl angrily, and asked while pouring wine: "Have you had dinner?"
"Ate on the way back. ”
Peng Peng asked, "Did the journey go well?"
"It went well. ”
After a few words of greeting, touched the wine bowl, and took a sip, Zhang Qingshan asked, "What news did you find?"
Unexpectedly, Hu Yingze, who was about to send the peeled peanuts to his mouth, put down the peanuts and said with a wry smile: "I didn't go to inquire about the news at all, but to send it to the door to be investigated." ”
said that they were going to find out the news, but in fact, the three of them knew in their hearts: this was to trust the relationship, go through the back door, and want to fight for it again and make up for the lost task. Because Division Commander Wu Zhengqing told them almost clearly at that time: Originally, he wanted to send a mission to the assault company, but after understanding the situation, it was gone.
After Division Commander Wu Zhengqing returned, he handed in the investigation report. What people didn't expect was that when they met the next day to discuss, there was an argument. It just so happened that when I heard that Hu Yingze was coming, I invited him to speak...... In the end, this task still fell into the hands of the assault company.
This task is: due to the enemy's heavy troops, step by step, trying to squeeze the space of the base area, and swallow the entire Red Second and Sixth Army Corps in the last bite. In order to break the enemy's strategic deployment, the headquarters decided to send the main force of the 2nd Red Army Corps to break through the enemy's heavy encirclement and jump out of the enemy's encirclement...... Originally, the headquarters wanted the assault company to serve as the vanguard company, which was also a way of training and testing in preparation for the Long March. But the results of the investigation are like this, no one can do anything, and the sharp blade of the assault company must continue to be hidden in the snow -- the nearest troops have already received orders this morning, so there is no need to keep it secret.
However, Hu Yingze's visit to the headquarters still had some effect in the end, and he won an opportunity for the assault company to learn: Zhang Qingshan, in the capacity of a special commissioner, would accompany the vanguard regiment of the Second Red Army Corps, mainly to study and observe the brother units, so as to learn from them the shortcomings of the assault company.
No matter how arrogant Xiang Xueqin is, because of Zhang Qingshan's bragging last night, she was told by her sisters for half a night, which made her 'resentful' all night.
Early the next morning, I planned to find Zhang Qingshan to vent my anger with great momentum, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Qingshan carrying a backpack, and then I knew that Zhang Qingshan was going to travel far away. Suddenly, there was no shame or anger, but like a housekeeper's wife, helping him tidy up and telling him to be careful when he went out, Zhang Qingshan felt a little sour when he heard it.
When Zhang Qingshan went out of the gate, Xiang Xueqin ran over and handed Zhang Qingshan a pair of cloth shoes, and said with a red face, "You just have to wear them, if they are worn out, I will make you a new pair...... The Red Army was poor, and almost all of them wore straw sandals, and even if they occasionally received cloth shoes from the people, they were reluctant to wear them.
In the midst of the commotion, Xiang Xueqin did not run away like yesterday, although she was still shy, she watched Zhang Qingshan leave with her eyes red and bit her lip.
After the Red Second Army successfully jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, it slaughtered in the areas of Jinshi, Changde, and Taoyuan in Hunan, taking advantage of the enemy's main force to have no time to react, and continued to storm and rush, driving the enemy's local armed forces and landlords and old wealth like sheep, driving them everywhere.
Zhang Qingshan's identity is special, he can't be revealed, and he came as a special commissioner, although he is in the vanguard regiment, but the regiment treats him as a big man, carefully protects him, and does not give him any chance to shoot at all. However, Zhang Qingshan knew how difficult this opportunity was and how heavy the burden he had, so he cherished it very much and did not want to live up to the expectations of his comrades at all.
Don't look at him being protected, he didn't brave the enemy's artillery fire like the soldiers, and he didn't risk his life, but in other aspects, he worked very hard: when he was fighting, he was on the front line to observe; when he was not fighting, he interviewed the commanders and fighters during the day, listened to their experiences, ate and lived with the soldiers, and took the initiative to help the soldiers be carried with guns...... At night, when everyone else was asleep, he began to sort out his daytime interviews or observations, and stayed up all night almost every day, sleeping an average of less than three and a half hours a day. Others advised him to rest well, and his body couldn't bear it like this, but he always smiled and said that the opportunity was rare, and he didn't take advantage of it, and he was sorry for the expectations and trust of his comrades, so he had no face to go back.
According to the original plan, the Red Second Army walked in a semicircle on the map, suddenly turned around, and directly killed Sangzhi County, Xiangxi Prefecture. At the same time, the Red Sixth Army Corps also took the initiative to withdraw from the revolutionary base areas of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and reached Sangzhi County first.
Because the people in the base areas were reluctant to give up the Red Army and wanted to march together on the Long March, tens of thousands of people closely followed the Red Army. In addition, the Red Army feared that after they left, the reactionaries would take revenge on the people. They also wanted to send a group of troops and horses to contain the enemy, so that the enemy could not distinguish the whereabouts of the main force of our army and other reasons, so the Red 18th Division temporarily stayed in the base area. Persuade the people, leave sufficient ammunition for the various guerrillas, and cooperate with the Red 18th Division to pretend to be the main force to fight guerrillas...... According to the legend of the local people (because there is no way to verify, it can only be said to be a wild history), the most famous is that Commander He Long personally wrote a letter to Commander Chen, the king of Xiangxi, in which he clarified the view of the Red Army's departure, hoping that Commander Chen would cherish himself, and at the same time, he also euphemistically proposed that Lao Chiang was a wolf to drive the tiger, and wanted to use the excuse of eliminating the Red Army to eat Commander Chen's territory (for some reason, the Red Army has not moved Commander Chen's old nest in Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Prefecture), and gave several examples when the old Chiang chased and killed the main force of the Central Red Army.
As a result, Commander Chen was really deceived, or rather, this is the nature of a warlord - he regarded his own territory as his lifeline. Not only did he not take the opportunity to pursue and kill the Red Army according to Lao Chiang's orders, but instead sent soldiers and horses to various counties in Xiangxi, in the name of rescuing the people from fire and water, in fact, to prevent Lao Chiang's soldiers and horses from taking the opportunity to annex his territory. It is said that Lao Jiang angrily scolded "Niang Xipi", but there was nothing to be done, because the mountains in Xiangxi were high and dense, and there were many bandits...... No matter how dog-eat-dog the reactionaries were, one thing is certain: because Commander Chen was guarding against Lao Chiang and was forced by the situation to appease the people, after the Red Army left, the people in the base areas were not frantically slaughtered by the reactionaries like in other base areas. The local people said that this was the power of a letter from Commander He.
Everything went as expected, but Zhang Qingshan had an accident......
