Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Eve of the Long March

readx;

The stars are shining brightly on his head, as if he can reach out and catch the stars and the moon, but he is close to the end of the world, and the lights under his feet are dim, and the dragons of torches seem to tear through the shroud of darkness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin sat quietly on the top of the mountain, their fingers interlocked, silent and sound. Neither of them confessed to the other, but they came together so naturally, enjoying this rare moment of peace, nostalgic for every inch of disappearing time, because, tomorrow, they will be separated, and tomorrow, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps will march long.

First, the Second Red Army Corps has been marching and fighting outside for half a month, and the wounded have not been able to receive effective treatment; after the division, for a time, the headquarters hospital was overcrowded and urgently needed doctors and nurses, and the assault company had two doctors and nine nurses, which was too extravagant; second, in a certain respect, the nature of the assault company was equivalent to that of a death squad, and Zhang Qingshan did not want to have an accident with Xiang Xueqin, so he took the initiative to 'return' her to the headquarters hospital, and Xiang Xueqin could not compete with him, so he could only obey; third, because the Red Army had never had it before. The special forces', crossing the river by feeling the stones, after this period of exploration, finally understood their nature and realized the mistake in this regard. At the same time, considering that as a vanguard, the main duty is to spy on intelligence, find out the reality of the enemy along the way, and the real battle is to take medicine, so there is really no need for so many nurses, therefore, only two doctors and three nurses are left.

The two didn't talk, but just felt the meaning of each other's existence through the touch of palms and palms, the connection between their five fingers.

The mountain peak blew, Zhang Qingshan took off his coat with care and put it on Xiang Xueqin, glanced at Zhang Qingshan at Xiang Xueqin, smiled happily and sweetly, and leaned his head on Zhang Qingshan's shoulder, without talking, but with soul communication.

Until the torches at the bottom of the mountain gradually became scarce, the two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and walked down the mountain holding hands. Didn't say a word to each other.

I don't know if it's too reluctant, or because tomorrow is going to separate, whether it's yin and yang separation or victory to the end, no one dares to guarantee the reason, the two didn't let go, as if declaring the relationship between the two, even if they meet acquaintances, they are also generous. And the acquaintance did not have any surprise at this, but nodded to them sincerely and happily, and hurried away, because everyone has secrets, and no one wants to leave regrets at this moment of separation. With that, the two silently walked to the fork in the road.

After looking at each other for a long time, Xiang Xueqin took out a box of medicine, put it in Zhang Qingshan's palm, and said softly: "Take medicine on time, take care of your body, we will see you in northern Shaanxi." ”

Zhang Qingshan held on tightly, and the moment he released the interlocking ten fingers, he mustered up his courage, but said with a little fear and expectation: "Wait for me, after the victory of the Long March, I will marry you." ”

In an instant, Xiang Xueqin's eyes were hazy, tears loomed, she covered her mouth, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you to marry me." ”

The two of them retreated step by step at the same time, and finally, Xiang Xueqin waved to Zhang Qingshan and shouted: "Goodbye!

Immediately, Xiang Xueqin covered her mouth, turned around and ran, and soon disappeared into the darkness. Zhang Qingshan stopped, looking at the darkness in a daze, as if there was still the shadow of Xiang Xueqin there, silently experiencing the happiness in this bitterness.

For a long time, for a long time!

He sighed and said lightly: "Revolution! There will always be a day of victory." ”

(This sentence seems a bit irrelevant at this poignant moment, but for every revolutionary at that time, it was a very normal reaction, because in the heart of every revolutionary, everything is based on revolution!)

With a sad heart, he lowered his head, walked more than a dozen steps, felt that there was someone in front of him, and when he looked up, Zhang Qingshan was startled, it was actually the division commander Wu Zhengqing and the regiment commander Liu Yongjiang and others...... At that time, if the rank was not high and the qualifications were not enough, it was not allowed to get married, let alone fall in love in private, which was a serious disciplinary problem. Obviously, the two leaders saw all the scenes when Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin were separated just now.

"Division commander, regiment commander, why are you here?" After saluting, Zhang Qingshan asked with a little weakness. I wondered in my heart: Could it be that they came to catch me and Xiang Xueqin on purpose? Otherwise, it was so dark, why didn't they rest?

"Xiao Zhang, it's not that I'm talking about you, it's not that you don't understand the team's policies, how can you ......" Regiment Commander Liu said with a dark face and a low tone - your kid usually follows Xiang Xueqin unclearly, Lao Tzu just opens one eye and closes one eye, now it's okay, if you are caught by the division commander, the whole regiment will have to follow you and be embarrassed.

But before he could say the most ugly words, Master Wu on the side coughed twice, glared at Liu Yongjiang, and then smiled at Zhang Qingshan, who bowed his head: "Xiao Zhang, tell me, where has you developed with Xiao Xiang?"

"I ...... Today I...... I held hands with her today. ”

"Just holding hands?"

"Yes!"

Liu Yongjiang on the side understood what Wu Zhengqing meant, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and said: "No, Xiao Zhang, I've heard people say that you often brag to others, what are you doing with Xiao Xiangdu, how can you hold hands at this point?"

"I didn't say those words. "It's a big problem, it's going to be a big problem, it's going to be a head. Zhang Qingshan was anxious, straightened his neck, and said stiffly: "I really just held hands with Xueqin, and I guarantee it with my party spirit." ”

Everyone laughed, but they were relieved: just holding hands, the problem can be big or small, it depends on how the leader looks. However, Wu Zhengqing and Liu Yongjiang obviously don't want to make a big deal about it.

"Okay, we believe you, but don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing to others in the future, even if you don't care about it, you have to think about Xiao Xiang, right?"

"Commander, you are right in your criticism, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. ”

"Okay, don't be nervous, relax, I'm here this time, I just want to see the situation of the assault company......" Wu Zhengqing led everyone to the assault company's station and asked: "Is the assault company ready as the pioneer of the Second and Sixth Army Corps?"

It turned out that I was here to check the situation of the company's preparations, not specifically to arrest me and Xueqin. Zhang Qingshan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, his face was normal, and his tone was normal.

"Division commander, don't worry, our assault company has made all the preparations and is waiting to leave after dawn tomorrow. ”

"Don't be careless, this is a long march, no better than before...... On the road of the Long March, there were many difficulties, and the assault company must make full ideological preparations. Especially since you, as one of the main leaders of the assault company, must have a deep awareness of this...... It is necessary to unite every comrade and twist everyone's strength into a rope, so that we can break through all kinds of dangers and obstacles and be a good pioneer for the entire corps...... Xiao Zhang, the responsibility is heavy, your success or failure will directly determine whether the entire legion advances smoothly, everything must be cautious......"

After saying a lot of problems that made Zhang Qingshan fully realize the dangers and obstacles on the Long March, Wu Zhengqing changed his words and began to cheer Zhang Qingshan up: "Of course, because of the precedent of the Central Red Army, we can learn a lot of valuable experience from it, and I believe you all know this regard......

While speaking, everyone came to the assault company station, and happened to meet Peng Peng on inspection, Wu Zhengqing stopped talking, and after making a silent gesture, he walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile.

At this time, snoring erupted in the assault company, which made Wu Zhengqing very satisfied.

Seeing that there was still light in a room, Wu Zhengqing personally knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

"Ah, division commander, regiment commander, what are you ...... I didn't notice in advance when I came, I ...... Sit, sit!"

"Xiaohu, what are you busy with?"

"The superiors gave us the task of the pioneer of the regiment to our assault company, although I don't know much about military affairs, but I am always worried about it, I am afraid of making a little mistake, I am sorry for the trust of the organization, no, I can't sleep, so I will carefully ponder the deployment during the day. ”

Wu Zhengqing looked at the map on the table, heard this, nodded, and said to the people around him: "Some people are still a little unconvinced that the assault company is the pioneer, look, this is what makes people convinced." The assault company looked at the scenery, but a few people knew the effort behind it...... Originally, I was a little worried, afraid that you would make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, but now it seems that I have thought too much. With the three leaders of the assault company, I am finally relieved. ”

If you want to be noble in front of others, you have to suffer from behind your back! The assault company is the most mysterious unit in the entire corps, and everyone only knows that this unit eats, drinks, and draws the best, and even gives as many bullets as it wants. But where no one is paying attention, no one knows how not only Zhang Qingshan and other leaders of the company pay, but even every soldier in the assault company has at least twice the amount of training on weekdays than other companies...... The original purpose of the establishment of this elite was to prepare for the Long March, and at this time, it is finally about to show its edge.

After seeing Hu Yingze's diligence, Wu Zhengqing was full of confidence in the assault company, and he did not go to inspect other places, just here, together with everyone, to make suggestions for the "bright sword" of tomorrow's assault company.

It was not until Wu Zhengqing's guard Xiao Tian tactfully reminded him that it was too late and that the division commander would have to get up early tomorrow, and Zhang Qingshan and the others realized that they had to let the leaders have a good rest, and then the conversation ended.

Everyone sent Wu Zhengqing out.

When they parted, Wu Zhengqing shook hands with them one by one and said goodbye, because everyone knew that once they embarked on the road of the Long March, no one could guarantee that they would be lucky enough to reach the end of victory. To put it mildly, no one can say that they can still live tomorrow and meet each other. Therefore, this farewell is likely to be a farewell, therefore, everyone cherishes the current gathering, cherishes each other, and agrees that after the victory of the Long March, Wu Zhengqing will treat them, and everyone will be drunk together for three days and three nights.

"Xiao Zhang, do a good job. When shaking hands with Zhang Qingshan, Wu Zhengqing pondered a little and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, after the victory of the Long March, I will personally be a witness to the marriage of you and Comrade Xiang Xueqin, how about it?"

Liu Yongjiang, the head of the regiment on the side, immediately interjected: "When the time comes, if you kid dare to forget to invite me, the matchmaker, to drink the wedding wine, I will definitely make a big fuss about the wedding scene and make your kid unable to come to the stage." ”

Zhang Qingshan knew that this was not only a kind of protection for the two leaders to fall in love with Xiang Xueqin in private, but also a blessing for the beautiful belonging of the revolutionary soldiers as an old comrade, as well as their confidence and expectation for the victory of the Long March.

"Thank you, commander, thank you, commander. When the time comes, I would like to invite you both...... And all comrades. Zhang Qingshan shouted excitedly: "Everyone has said that after the victory of the Long March, they will all come to my wedding, if anyone dares not to do it, don't blame me for pointing at my nose and scolding my mother one by one." ”

This is also the hope that everyone will make it to the end of victory alive......
