march to victory

10/17

After two months of treatment, Zhang Qingshan was fully recovered at this time.But seeing that he was about to be discharged from the hospital, he was both reluctant and looking forward to it.

Naturally, Xiang Xueqin was reluctant to give up, and she was looking forward to a new position.To be honest, with Xiang Xueqin here, he had already heard some gossip, some said that the military department wanted to transfer him, the former commando captain, to the military department, and some said that the commander Wu Zhengqing of the Seventeenth Division tried his best to keep him The division headquarters is directly under the spy battalion, and some people say that Liu Yongjiang, the new head of the 49th regiment, suffered heavy casualties in the 49th regiment, but the commanders, especially the urgent need for experienced middle-level military commanders, tried their best to keep Zhang Qingshan in the 49th regiment... But no matter what kind of news it was, it seemed 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.

"Old Zhang, don't worry so much, it's definitely a good thing." After breakfast, Qi Zixuan finally didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore, and went to the 49th regiment's first battalion and third company commando as the deputy captain, and Zhang Qingshan went to see him off.Qi Zixuan also understood Zhang Qingshan's worries. When they parted at the fork in the small road, Qi Zixuan comforted Zhang Qingshan: "The superiors all want you, and the more you fight, the more attention you pay, which means you are more talented. Just wait, there will always be you." When laughing."

Zhang Qingshan also understood this truth, but there was no specific news, which made him a little uneasy.He took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Qi Zixuan, lit it, took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said, "Old Qi, don't talk about me, talk about you."

"I have nothing to say." Qi Zixuan pretended to lower his head and smoke: it's a miracle that this guy survived. Although he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, his wound was repeatedly inflamed. Even the nurses who took care of him had to be changed twice. It was a joke in the hospital—everyone said that he was really a ruthless person. When he fell in love with a certain nurse, he deliberately injured the wound so that the nurse could take care of him. As a result, the nurse did not "catch a cold" towards him. .Of course, if others asked if there was such a thing, he would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.

"The commando team is one of the best in a hundred. I hope you and Lao Peng don't learn from me..." At this point, Zhang Qingshan's eyelids drooped, and he sighed, "I'm sorry for those comrades who died."

"How can this be your fault? In war, there is no one who is not dead. Besides, you were not there at the time, and after inquiring during this period of time, it is not that you are ignorant of the situation at that time... Considering the difficulties at that time, half of the casualties were good. You don't know, when we received the order, we were already prepared to die in battle... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about something happy. Lao Zhang, when we meet in the future, don't put on a leadership air with me , otherwise, we would not be old comrades in arms.”

"roll!"

After chatting for a few more words, the two parted ways.

Seeing Qi Zixuan's figure disappear at the corner of the mountain road, Zhang Qingshan sighed, took out another cigarette, lit it, smoked it, turned around and slowly returned to the hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I saw Xiang Xueqin running over and said, "Xiao Zhang, hurry up, your team leader is looking for you."

Zhang Qingshan was overjoyed: Liu Yongjiang, the new head of the regiment, came to see him at this time. There must be good news. In all likelihood, his future has been decided.

"report!"

"Come in."

"Hello, Captain."

After returning the military salute, Liu Yongjiang, the new head of the Red 49th Regiment, joked with a smile: "This is your kid's ward, but you call for a report. Do you blame me for occupying the magpie's nest?"

"Where. I am happy to see the head of the regiment."

"You're as good as a monkey." Liu Yongfu was promoted from the deputy commander of the first battalion to the second battalion commander, and later became the deputy commander. Now he is a full-time member. They are all from the same battalion, so they are naturally much more affectionate: "Yes Didn't you guess the purpose of my coming?"

"hey-hey!"

"Test you, guess where you were assigned?"

"Leader, I'm about to be discharged from the hospital. You are here. Needless to say, you must be back in our own regiment." Zhang Qingshan looked at Liu Yongjiang with bright eyes, and asked with some expectation: "Leader , I heard that the third battalion doesn’t have a battalion commander yet, so maybe I’m going to be the commander of the third battalion, right? Commander, don’t worry, as long as there’s a battle to fight, I’ll never pick and choose.”

"You are so beautiful, boy. Let me tell you, the commander of the third battalion has already been appointed, and it is not for you."

"Tsk!" Zhang Qingshan smacked his lips, and said with some disappointment: "I also recognize being a company commander."

"There is no vacancy for a company commander."

"Hey!" Zhang Qingshan smiled a little unnaturally, couldn't help the disappointment in his heart, and said: "Head, why don't you let me be the platoon leader?"

The group leader Liu Yongjiang still shook his head with a smile.

"Head, can't you do this? I've become a team leader anyway, so why don't I still want to be a squad leader? I'm not 'living younger and getting younger'."

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was really in a hurry, his face turned pale, Liu Yongjiang finally stopped teasing him, but smiled at the door: "Little Tiger, if you want to listen, you can listen openly, hiding at the door, it's not your little one The character of a tiger."

If the eavesdropping was discovered, other girls might run away with red faces, but Xiang Xueqin walked in, turned around and closed the door, and stood in front of Liu Yongjiang, saying, "Okay, I'll just stop."

Liu Yongjiang never expected that this girl would be so courageous and thick-skinned, and she would be so confident after being pointed out.He glanced at Xueqin in surprise, then at Zhang Qingshan with a normal face, shook his head helplessly, gave Xueqin a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "You are really amazing."

"That's natural. Head 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 nervously, Liu Yongjiang said seriously: "Xiao Zhang, now I'm giving you a top-secret mission on behalf of the organization and the general headquarters of the legion..."

Having said that, he glanced at Xueqin.Xiang Xueqin was really smart, she turned around and left: "Head, I forgot that there is something urgent to do, so I'm leaving first."

"You don't have to evade, this task is also your part."

"what?"

"Ah what? This task is voluntary, you can refuse."

"Commander, tell me what mission is it?"

In view of the success of the Central Red Army's Long March, the KMT had nothing to do with the Central Red Army for a while, so it was determined to eat the Red Second and Sixth Army.According to various intelligence reports, the next "encirclement and suppression" of the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek will put all his strength into it, and may send several 10 troops.The possibility of "anti-encirclement and suppression" is extremely low. In order to jump out of the enemy's encirclement, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps took advantage of the enemy's deployment of troops and no hands-on gap, and began to make preparations... Some people are reluctant to part with Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan. In the Guizhou base area, it is recommended to jump out of the enemy's encirclement, fight a guerrilla attack with the enemy, and find an opportunity to fight back;

Whether it is jumping out of the enemy's encirclement or the Long March, you need to be a pioneer.In view of the success of the commando team, this pioneer naturally had to do the same, and Zhang Qingshan, the former captain of the commando team, was naturally valued.The superiors decided that while there was still time, the Red 49th Division would transfer personnel to form an assault company of about [-] people (some people also call it a plainclothes team, but I think it is better to call it an assault company-a little hobby of mine, everyone laughs end), become a trailblazer.For reasons of confidentiality, this assault company is still under the name of the [-]th Regiment, and the regiment commander Liu Yongjiang also serves as the instructor of the assault company-from this we can see how much the superiors attach importance to this pioneer.

The reason why Xiang Xueqin was able to know about this mission was because the mission of the assault company was destined to have a high sacrifice rate due to its dangerous nature, and the best nurses were needed.Xiang Xueqin's outstanding performance is the best choice.

It is exciting to think about such a major event, to be able to participate in it.

"Captain, I must participate...I have long wanted to go to the front line."

"Captain, I..."

"Xiao Zhang, don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Zhang Qingshan wanted to make a statement, but was interrupted by Liu Yongjiang: "The commander of this assault company is Comrade Hu Yingze, and you are the deputy captain. Of course, you still have One option is that there is still a lack of a deputy battalion commander in the Longshan Independence Camp. If you want to go, you can...Xiao Zhang, as your old leader, I have something to say. This is about your future. Once you make a decision , there is no chance to go back on your word, you must think about it."

In fact, the superior appointed the captain and deputy captain at the beginning, and it was Wu Zhengqing, the commander of the Seventeenth Division, who won Zhang Qingshan the right to choose.And the Longshan Independent Camp is full of Longshan people (in mid-May 1935, the guerrilla brigades in Hongyanxi, Maoping, Ciyantang and other districts were merged and formed, and Xie Shuguang took the battalion commander and political commissar on his shoulders). A fellow townsman, of course he will be able to handle it with ease...Xiang Xueqin was also appointed to join, otherwise, she would not stand here and hear such a top-secret mission, although this top-secret will be made public in the near future.

At this time, it's time to test a Communist Party member's overall view: Speaking privately, people go to high places and water flows to low places, so you don't have to think about it just from the level. When the rank of the deputy battalion commander is high, not to mention the dangers that the assault company will face in the future can be imagined by anyone. It may be more appropriate to call it the Death Squad.But looking at the overall situation, the Assault Company can give full play to his strengths. As the vanguard of the Long March, the Assault Company absolutely lacks a commander like Zhang Qingshan who has combat experience in this field.

"Head, I didn't say anything, I will go to the assault company. But I have two requests."

"Hey! You really know how to seize the opportunity, talk about it."

"First, I want to elect all members of our commando team from the third company into the commando company..." Having said that, Zhang Qingshan glanced at Liu Yongjiang, and said, "Regimental Commander, it's not that I pull up the mountain and form a small group, but Every member of the commando team has experience in this area, so naturally they all have to be drawn in."

"No problem. The superior also made the decision in this way, and gave you and Lao Hu the power to choose from the whole army. Tell me about your second request."

Zhang Qingshan glanced at Xiang Xueqin beside him, and patted the back of his head: "She's a girl, so she doesn't have to go to the assault company, does she?"

Everyone knows that the vanguard of the assault company, as the pioneer of the Red Army's Long March, is almost as dangerous as dancing with death.Zhang Qingshan really doesn't want to see a girl, especially someone he likes, take part in such a dangerous mission...
