march to victory

The mayor of Guitang Town is called Wang Weiqing, and the people ridiculed him as Wang Qingtian—under his rule, the people looked hungry, and when they gathered together, they looked green.

Yesterday was his father's [-]th birthday, so he brought his father from the countryside to the town, held a big banquet in the town hall, and used this name to seize the opportunity to search for the people's alms - he was so shameless that he sent his men to go door-to-door to notify: the poor The common people pay one dollar per household, five dollars per shop, and at least fifty dollars for each large household to express their joy to the mayor’s father’s birthday. However, opposing the government is naturally a rebellion, and you have to ransack your home and kill your head.

When the Red Army came, many landlords, bullies and big bandits fled in all directions, panicking all day long.There was no Red Army in Guitang Town before, so it was naturally an ideal place for everyone to hide.As the mayor's father is celebrating his birthday, these people have to come to join in the fun.Some of them came from afar, and naturally they couldn't go back overnight, so they had to temporarily sleep in the town hall.The famous people from all sides, together with the guards they brought and the platoon of Wang Weiqing's subordinates who were transferred to maintain order, made the Xiaoxiaodi Town Hall contain hundreds of people.

Before dawn, the Red Army suddenly rushed to the town hall. They thought they were surrounded, so they had to lead their men to resist.However, after firing a few shots, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the Red Army only attacked the front door, and the back door was empty. Would they die if they didn't run away?

Speaking of which, this was also an accident.The Red Army originally thought that the town hall had only one squad, and one charge would be enough to take it down, but they didn't expect so many people to gather.In a hurry, there was no time to adjust the deployment, leaving the back door of the town hall empty.

"Damn it, I guess we won't be able to catch up." Luo Ping cursed angrily, then beckoned to a soldier behind him: "Little Liao!"

"To!"

"Take a few people with you, and notify the platoon leaders of the other platoons separately, and ask them to send someone to stop these fleeing reactionary leaders, and report the situation here to the company commander: My third platoon will continue to attack as planned. Town Hall. Go!"

"Comrades from class two, hurry up and block the back door."

"Yes!"

"Huang Debao!"

"To!"

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for me to invite you to the theater?"

Seeing Huang Debao stunned, Luo Ping roared: "Hurry up and take your squad to attack the main gate of the town hall."

"Yes!" Huang Debao replied salutingly, turned around and shouted: "Li Guowei!"

"I'm here!"

Following the sound, I saw Li Guowei setting up a light machine gun in the corner by the eaves of the second floor of a stilted building across the street, and shaking his hand at him.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cover me with firepower."

"Da da da……"

"Comrades, take out the grenades and prepare to attack."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of machine guns stopped.

Huang Debao turned his head and glared, holding a grenade and shouting: "Li Guowei, what the hell are you doing? Keep shooting."

"Squad leader, look quickly, the white flag is raised on the opposite side."

Huang Debao turned around to look, but saw a small bamboo stick protruding from the courtyard wall of the town hall, with a piece of white cloth hanging on it and shaking it.Listen carefully, and you can hear someone shouting inside: "Stop the fight, stop the fight, we surrender..."

"It's good to know the surrender." Huang Debao was overjoyed: "Open the gate and throw the gun out. The policy of our Red Army is to surrender the gun and not kill, and give preferential treatment to the prisoners."

Soon, the door opened, and several spears and two broadswords were thrown out one after another from inside.

"It's just a few broken guns, are you fucking lying?" Huang Debao stared angrily, and shouted, "Throw out all the weapons to me! If you dare to play tricks with me, I will send you all to the west with a grenade. Hurry up!" point!"

"Sir, there are really no weapons. They have all run away, and we are the only ones who can't run."

As if to confirm their words, gunshots came from behind the town hall, intermittently, and someone could vaguely hear something like shouting to hand in the gun and not kill.

"I don't care what tricks you play, now, put your head in your hands and come out one by one."

Eight people walked out of it, four were injured, two of the other four were about 50 years old, and two were about [-] or [-] years old. After asking, I found out that these four were cooks.

Zhang Qingshan was the first to rush into the town hall, and searched the town hall with the soldiers. Although many places were extremely messy, they didn't find a single person, apparently they all fled in a hurry.

Luo Ping asked Huang Debao to lead the third squad to control the town hall, and he led the rest of the soldiers to follow the gunfire to chase down the fleeing reactionary leaders.

Huang Debao took the eight captives to the main hall of the town office where disputes among the people were usually handled. After asking them to squat down, they were about to look around when they faintly heard crying.Following the sound, he found Zhang Qingshan squatting in the corner of the lobby, weeping softly with his head in his arms.

Patted Zhang Qingshan's shoulder lightly, and asked softly: "Qingshan, what's wrong?"

"Squad leader, it's nothing, I... I'm just so happy."

Huang Debao's right hand that was about to be retracted suddenly stopped, and then lightly patted Zhang Qingshan's shoulder: "It's okay, I understand, just cry."

When Zhang Qingshan's mother gave birth to him, she collapsed and died. At the age of 14, Abba, who went hunting in the mountains, accidentally fell off a cliff and died.Although Zhang Qingshan, who lost his parents, already knew how to hunt, he was too young and had to go down the mountain.She gave cattle to the landlord's house, worked as a boy in the opium hall, and even ate Guanyin soil... In this cannibalistic society, he is like a grass, although he is trampled underfoot, he struggles tenaciously survive.

Wandering to Laifeng County, Hubei Province, he was accepted as an apprentice by a painter surnamed Chen because he was smart and sensible.The aged Master Chen has no descendants and is very kind to Zhang Qingshan, making Zhang Qingshan feel the warmth and care of his relatives again, so he naturally has to be filial in every possible way.More than a year later, under the recommendation of his godfather, Zhang Qingshan learned some crafts such as carpentry and clay sculptor from others.Others are not as easy to get along with as godfather, making his apprentice's life very difficult, being beaten is commonplace, this is the rule of being an apprentice at that time, godfather is not easy to say anything, just let him grit his teeth and insist on learning his skills in hand.

Because of his hard work, good thinking, and sincerity in teaching people, he gradually became famous in the local area, not only being able to support his family, but even leading apprentices.

But he kept his promise to several masters: he would never compete with these masters for jobs.A few months ago, he resolutely returned to Guitang Town with his elderly godfather on his back. With his craftsmanship, he soon became famous in the town.

Widow Tian's dead husband was originally the head of the township regiment, rich and powerful.She wanted to marry her daughter, so she asked Zhang Qingshan to work for her, making chests and plaques for the dowry.But Zhang Qingshan's miserable life these years made him sympathize with the poor people and hate bullies who bully others, so he resolutely refused to do it.Widow Tian sent someone to arrest him and force him to work. Zhang Qingshan pretended to agree, but ran away home in the middle of the night.Just as she was about to leave the town with her godfather on her back, Widow Tian sent someone to catch her again.

Widow Tian threatened her godfather, so Zhang Qingshan had to pretend to agree.Two days later, with the help of friends, he picked up his godfather at night and escaped again, but was caught by Widow Tian again.

The distraught Widow Tian beat the father and son severely.Zhang Qingshan was young and strong enough to hold on, but his elderly godfather was beaten so badly that he vomited blood on the spot, and fell ill, so he traveled westward with a crane at dusk the next day.

After Zhang Qingshan buried his godfather, he turned to find Widow Tian desperately, but was beaten up by Widow Tian's minions.I went to the town office to sue Widow Tian, ​​and the result can be imagined: in the lobby of the town office, the mayor Wang Weiqing actually turned black and white, slandered Zhang Qingshan for abusing Master Chen, and beat him for not respecting the teacher. half dead.

In the end, my cousin Zhang Qinggui, who was still teaching at the school, couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly pointed him out: I heard that the Red Army is a team for our common people, and it is estimated that it will be decided by the poor people. You can try it.Only then did Zhang Qingshan go to Zhaotou Village to join the Red Army.

I brought the Red Army back to Guitang Town, and came to the lobby where I was boarded. Feelings such as excitement, excitement, grief and indignation, accompanied by scenes of the past, came to my mind, and I couldn't help but ran to the side and cried bitterly.In fact, many Red Army soldiers had similar suffering experiences...
