march to victory

suddenly!

The eldest child's eyes froze for a moment, and then he was delighted, and then a look of hatred broke out.The hand stopped shaking, and the body calmed down surprisingly instantly, the whole person was like a cheetah ready to go, just wanting to devour its prey in one bite.

Among the bandits rushing out of the diagonally opposite alley, he found an acquaintance, a person he hated extremely, a villain who wanted to take over his fiancée but failed to humiliate him in public—Tian Dalong!

The gun aimed at Tian Dalong, and moved with him bit by bit, waiting for the best opportunity.

Tian Dalong has been bold and careful since he was a child, cruel and vicious. Relying on his father's influence, he has cultivated him into a lawless personality: the main force of the Red Army is stationed in this county at this time, but he wants to eat Guitang Town. Hong Sanlian didn't want to think about it. In this way, the Red Army would definitely encircle and suppress him without end. This shows how reckless this person is in his actions.

Tian Dalong, who has never been afraid of anything, is really afraid at this moment: the people who have always been regarded as "sheep" by him will have such a crazy side, chasing him desperately.Along the way, there will always be gun muzzles protruding from windows, door cracks, and high walls. With the sound of gunshots and the rising of clouds of green smoke, there will inevitably be casualties among his men. That heart-piercing scream made him shudder even thinking about it.What made him even more panicked was that there were civilians in front who were blocking the attack and retreating bit by bit, and there was a large group of civilians charging behind, but there were sniper shots everywhere around him, which made him afraid to stop and fight back even if he wanted to. If he ran a step slower, he was beaten to death by the angry people.When he sees the house now, he will be suspicious and think that there must be a gun waiting for the prey inside, and he will always observe it carefully step by step. In the end, it will always be as he wished. Iron sand made his subordinates suffer more casualties, but he didn't care about taking care of his subordinates, he just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Coming to the outermost street, passing through here, you can reach the mountain forest, which made Tian Dalong and his men overjoyed.Tian Dalong swept away the panic just now, his pale face turned red from fright, and he regained his previous fearless aura, waved his gun excitedly and shouted: "Brothers..."

"Oh!"

Before Tian Dalong could finish his sentence, the sound of musket guns sounded from seven or eight meters away from the right.At such a close distance, as soon as the iron sand in the musket sprayed out of the muzzle, before it had time to spread, it all hit Tian Dalong's head. Tian Dalong fell to the right without even screaming.

The bandits saw that Tian Dalong's entire right face and head had been beaten into a sieve, bloody and bloody.

In grief and anger, the bandits fired at the window, but just after firing two shots, they saw a flash of fire in the crack of the door, a cloud of green smoke rising, and a cloud of iron sand hitting them.At the same time, there were many musket shots from behind, dissipating the only bit of grief and indignation the bandits had, and they ran for their lives in a panic, even ignoring Tian Dalong's body.

"Beep beep..."

"Kill it!"

The charge sounded, and the sound of charging and killing brought the wave of killing bandits in Guitang Town, which was already boiling, to its peak... Victory is a foregone conclusion.

Ten minutes later, people with muskets were everywhere on the street, searching for the remaining bandits. Occasionally, when they heard a little gunshot from the bandits hiding in a certain knot, the people would flock to kill the bandits. Beat to death.

Half an hour later, the blood of the people began to cool down, and under the persuasion of the Red Army, they began to go home.At the same time, members of the Red Army and the Self-Defense Forces began to clean the battlefield, carry the corpses, and rescue the wounded...

An hour later, the number of casualties came out: the Red Army sacrificed 25 people, and the Self-Defense Force sacrificed 23 people. Otherwise, the casualties of the Self-Defense Forces on the battlefield for the first time are definitely far greater than this number.And there were dozens of civilian casualties.

Soon, the first and second platoons who went to rescue Xiangjia Village came back. Five people were killed and seven were injured: after all, they were the main force with rich combat experience. It was caused by hitting a Red Army soldier who couldn't catch him.

What is worthy of pride is the enemy's casualty statistics: 130 people were killed, 68 people were wounded, and 11 people were captured alive-mainly because the distance was too close, and the common people used muskets to hit the enemy's head. Twice as many were wounded, and the reason why they were still captured alive was because when cleaning the battlefield, the Red Army begged the common people to show mercy, otherwise, there would never be any survivors.Judging from the enemy's wounds, two-thirds of them were killed by muskets. It is certain that without the help of the common people, Hong Sanlian's consequences this time would be worrisome.

Except for a moment of cheering when the bandits were beaten away, no matter whether it was the Red Army soldiers or the common people, there was no joy: looking at the long row of corpses, who would not be sad?

Zhang Qingshan is not sad now, but indignant: In the morning, when the bodies of the fallen soldiers were collected and buried at noon, everyone cried, even Zhang Guozhi, the company commander who has always been strong, said only one famous saying of Mr. Sun Yat-sen with tears in his eyes. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." After that, he looked at the sky, sighed, and let his tears fall.In the afternoon, together with his comrades, he helped the people rush to repair the destroyed houses.

But in the evening, other comrades were still busy with various repair work, but his dinner was eaten in the confinement room.

The reason is simple: Huang Shijiang's family sent Zhou Baoyu to the command post. Then, the company commander pointed at Zhou Baoyu whose complexion was still sallow, and yelled angrily, "No matter how young you are, you are still your comrade, not your enemy. How can you treat him so roughly?" ’, directly let Zhang Qingshan return to the confinement room where he was imprisoned before and has not been burned.

Zhang Qingshan felt that he was wronged, so he was very angry, so he didn't even eat dinner.What made him feel even more ashamed and indignant was that Zhou Baoyu was still guarding him, although Zhou Baoyu didn't know why Zhang Qingshan was put in confinement again, and it was a five-day confinement.However, this time Zhang Qingshan has a companion: Platoon Leader Xu in the first row.Platoon leader Xu was not dissatisfied: he was the front-line commander who rescued the troops in Xiangjia Village, but he was so careless that he was ambushed by hundreds of bandits, causing unnecessary casualties to the Red Army soldiers.He was not shot on the spot, but was relegated to confinement. It was because of the heavy casualties of the Red Third Company this time, the lack of commanding talents, especially the grassroots commanders with rich combat experience, and the fact that he commanded properly after being ambushed, so he was not severely punished. penalty.

The two had their own concerns, one sat by the bed, and the other sat on a chair by the fire pit. They didn't talk or move their chopsticks, but both kept smoking.

Platoon Leader Xu picked up the cigarette case at hand, found that the case was empty, and looked at Zhang Qingshan.

Zhang Qingshan walked over with the chair, handed the cigarette case in his hand to Platoon Leader Xu, and after Platoon Leader Xu lit a cigarette with the cigarette butt in his hand, he sighed softly and said, "Platoon Leader Xu, you say..."

"Stop!" Xu platoon leader interrupted him: "Xiao Zhang, the title of this position can't be messed up. I'm the one who made a mistake now, not the platoon leader. After I get out, let me go to the cooking class and continue to work. The revolution is luck... You can call me Old Xu or Brother Xu, but if you want to call me platoon leader again, it will be a slap in the face."

Zhang Qingshan looked at him carefully, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded slightly: "Old Xu, you are an old revolutionary, can you help me analyze my problem?"

Seeing Lao Xu looking over, Zhang Qingshan smiled awkwardly: "I really can't figure out where I went wrong, and I would like to ask you to point me out, otherwise, my head will explode."

"You said."

Zhang Qingshan told Zhou Baoyu from the first meeting until they separated, and then asked, "I never felt that I did anything wrong. After thinking about it, Zhou Baoyu was probably too young." , I took him to kill the enemy, but this is not considered rude, since I became the Red Army, I have to kill the enemy, otherwise, I might as well go home... Another point, probably I wanted to let Zhou Baoyu adapted to the battlefield as soon as possible and forced him to watch the dead. But this is not wrong, everyone did this. My old squad leader also said: There is only one way for a recruit to become a veteran the fastest, and that is the battlefield. Only If you have seen blood and seen four people, you will not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, otherwise you will always be a softie...Old Xu, what are you laughing at?"

"I read a sentence in a book: an extreme process will inevitably lead to an extreme result! Do you know what this means?" Seeing Zhang Qingshan's awkward smile, Xu took a deep puff of his cigarette , said softly: "That is to say, there must be a process in everything, and it is best to progress slowly, otherwise, there will only be extreme results. It's like you forced that little devil to look at the corpse. , I think this method is good, and it will be effective immediately. But the problem is, you have to think about it: how old are you, how old is he? You are an adult, and you have a certain ability to accept both physically and mentally. Facing bloody corpses, plus the battlefield The environment is generally bearable, so it is natural to pass this hurdle. But think about it, that little devil is only 14 years old at most, and he has not grown up both physically and mentally, and he is suddenly forced by you to watch this movie. Do you think he can bear the bloody scene?"

Speaking of this, he lit a cigarette again, glanced out the window, and saw the little devil's head retracted, so he continued to Zhang Qingshan with a pensive expression: "To be honest, he is not crazy or stupid now, it is already a will It’s amazing to be a strong person. Therefore, you who are in confinement are like me, and you are not wronged at all.”

Zhang Qingshan pondered for a moment, stood up and walked to the window.

Zhou Baoyu was just about to stick his head out to look in again, when he saw Zhang Qingshan looking over, he was startled and stood up straight with a nervous expression on his face.

"Comrade Zhou Baoyu, it was wrong for me to force you to look at the corpse earlier. Here, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive my reckless behavior."
