march to victory

The stars above the head are shining brightly, as if you can pick the stars and catch the moon with your hands, but the sky is so far away; the lights are dim under your feet, and the dragons of torches seem to tear apart the shroud of darkness.

Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin sat quietly on the top of the mountain, their fingers intertwined, and the silence was louder than the sound.Neither of them confessed their love to each other, but they came together so naturally, enjoying this rare moment of peace, nostalgic for every inch of time that disappeared, because tomorrow, they will be separated; tomorrow, Hong Er, The Sixth Legion will set sail for the Long March.

For one thing, the Second Red Army had been marching outside for half a month, and the wounded had not been treated effectively. After the reunion, the headquarters hospital was overcrowded and doctors and nurses were urgently needed. The assault company had two doctors and nine nurses. , too extravagant; secondly, from a certain point of view, the nature of the assault company is equivalent to death squads, Zhang Qingshan didn't want to have an accident with Xiang Xueqin, and took the initiative to "return" her to the headquarters hospital, Xiang Xueqin couldn't compete with him, so he could only obey; Three, because the Red Army has never had a "special force" before, and they crossed the river by feeling the stones. After a period of groping, they finally understood their nature and realized their mistakes.At the same time, considering that as a vanguard, the main duty is to spy on intelligence and find out the real situation of the enemy along the way. In real combat, you need to take medicine instead. There is really no need for so many nurses. Therefore, only two doctors and three nurses are left.

The two did not talk, but felt the meaning of each other's existence through the touching of palms and the connection between their five fingers.

As the mountain blew past, Zhang Qingshan took off his coat with care and put it on Xiang Xueqin. Xiang Xueqin glanced at Zhang Qingshan, smiled happily and sweetly, and leaned his head on Zhang Qingshan's shoulder. There was no conversation, but there was a soul exchange.

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

I don't know if it's too much reluctance, or because we will be separated tomorrow. No one can guarantee the reason whether Yin and Yang will be separated from now on or victory will be achieved. Neither of them let go. , but also graceful.And the acquaintance didn't show any surprise about it, instead, he nodded to them both sincerely and hurried away, because everyone has secrets, and no one wants to leave regrets at this moment of parting.Just like that, the two walked silently to the fork in the road.

They looked at each other for a long time, took out a box of medicine to Xueqin, put it in Zhang Qingshan's palm, and said softly: "Take medicine on time, take care of your health, we will meet in northern Shaanxi."

Zhang Qingshan grasped tightly, and the moment he loosened his interlocking fingers, he plucked up his courage, but said with a bit of 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, with tears streaming down her face, she covered her mouth, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you to marry me."

The two backed away step by step at the same time, and finally, Xiang Xueqin waved to Zhang Qingshan and shouted: "Goodbye! See you again!"

Immediately, Xiang Xueqin covered her mouth, turned and ran away, and soon fell into the darkness.But Zhang Qingshan stopped, staring blankly at the darkness, as if Xiang Xueqin's shadow was still there, silently experiencing the happiness in this bitterness.

A long time, 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 revolutionist at that time, it was a very normal reaction, because in the heart of every revolutionist, everything starts with Revolution first!)

Feeling sad, he lowered his head and walked. After walking a dozen steps, he felt someone in front of him. When he looked up, Zhang Qingshan was startled. , Insufficient qualifications, marriage is not allowed, let alone dating in private, this is a serious disciplinary issue.Obviously, the two leaders saw the scene when Zhang Qingshan and Xiang Xueqin separated just now.

"Master, head, why are you here?" After saluting, Zhang Qingshan asked with a guilty conscience.I was thinking in my heart: Could it be that they came to catch me and Xiang Xueqin on purpose?Otherwise, it's so dark, why don't they rest?

"Xiao Zhang, I'm not talking about you. It's not that you don't understand the team's policies. How can you..." Head Liu said with a dark face and a low tone——Your kid usually doesn't know Xiang Xueqin clearly. It's fine if you turn a blind eye, now it's all right, if you are caught by the teacher, the whole regiment will be ashamed to follow you.

But before he could utter the most unpleasant words, Master Wu coughed twice, glared at Liu Yongjiang, and smiled at Zhang Qingshan who bowed his head: "Xiao Zhang, tell me, talk to Xiao Xiang Where has it progressed?"

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

"Just holding hands?"

"kindness!"

Liu Yongjiang at the side understood Wu Zhengqing's meaning, but when he heard this, he still couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "No way! Xiao Zhang, I heard people say that you often brag to others, and you and Xiao Xiang both So what, at this moment, how is holding hands?"

"I didn't say those words." This is a big problem, if you don't do it, you will lose your head.Zhang Qingshan became anxious, straightened his neck, and said abruptly: "I really just held hands with Xueqin, and I guarantee it with my party spirit."

Everyone laughed, but they breathed a sigh of relief: just holding hands, the problem can be big or small, it depends on what the leader thinks.However, neither Wu Zhengqing nor Liu Yongjiang obviously wanted to make this matter a big deal.

"Okay, we believe you, but from now on, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing to others, even if you don't care about it yourself, you have to think about it for Xiao Xiang, right?"

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

"Okay, don't be nervous, relax, I'm here this time, just to see the situation of the assault company..." Wu Zhengqing led everyone to the station of the assault company and asked: "Assault companies are the pioneers of the second and sixth armies. , are you ready?"

It turned out that he came to check the company's preparations, not specifically to arrest Xueqin and me.Zhang Qingshan heaved a long sigh of relief, his expression was normal, and his tone was also normal.

"Teacher, don't worry, our assault company has made all the preparations, and we will start after dawn tomorrow."

"Don't be careless. This time is the Long March. It's no different than before... There are many difficulties on the Long March. The assault company must be fully prepared. Especially as one of the main leaders of the assault company, you must have a A deep awareness...you must unite every comrade and twist everyone's strength into a rope, so that you can break through many obstacles and be a pioneer for the entire army...Xiao Zhang, you have a heavy responsibility. Your success or failure will directly determine the entire army. Whether the legion is advancing smoothly, everything must be cautious..."

After talking about a lot of problems that made Zhang Qingshan fully aware of the many obstacles on the Long March, Wu Zhengqing changed the subject and began to cheer Zhang Qingshan: "Of course, because of the precedent of the Central Red Army, we can learn a lot of valuable experience from it. , in this regard, I believe you all already know..."

While talking, everyone came to the assault company's station, and happened to meet Peng Peng patrolling, Wu Zhengqing stopped talking instead, and after making a gesture to silence everyone, he walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile.

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

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

"Come in!"

"Ah! Teacher, regiment leader, why don't you...don't let me know in advance when you're here, I...sit down, sit down!"

"Little Hu, what are you busy with?"

"The superior assigned the mission of pioneering the legion to our assault company. Although I don't know much about military affairs, I am always worried. I am afraid that I will make a mistake. I am sorry for the trust in the organization. No, I can't sleep, so I just put the daytime Deploy and then carefully ponder."

Wu Zhengqing looked at the map on the table, nodded when he heard this, and said to the people around him: "Some people are still a little unconvinced by the assault company as the pioneer. Look, this is what makes people convinced. The assault company looked It's beautiful, but how many people know the effort behind it... I was a little worried at first, fearing that you would make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, but now it seems that I was thinking too much. I finally feel relieved that the assault company has you three leaders .”

If you want to be famous in front of others, you have to suffer behind your back!The Assault Company is the most mysterious unit in the entire Legion. Everyone only knows that this troop eats, drinks, and smokes the best, and even gives them as many bullets as they want. Now the Legion’s pioneer is enough to load The glorious mission of history has also been given to the Assault Company, so some people are naturally not convinced.But where no one pays attention, no one knows, not only how the leaders of the company such as Zhang Qingshan paid, even every soldier in the assault company, the amount of training on weekdays is at least twice that of other companies... The original purpose of this elite team was to prepare for the Long March. At this time, it was finally about to show its edge.

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

Everyone was very talkative and forgot the time until Wu Zhengqing's guard, Xiaotian, reminded him repeatedly that it was too late and the division commander would have to get up early tomorrow. Zhang Qingshan and others realized that the leader should have a good rest, and the conversation ended. .

Everyone sent Wu Zhengqing out.

When parting, Wu Zhengqing shook hands with them one by one to say goodbye, because everyone knows that once they embark on the Long March, no one can guarantee that they will be lucky enough to reach the end of victory.To put it bluntly, no one can say that they can still live tomorrow and meet each other.Therefore, this farewell is likely to be a farewell forever. Therefore, everyone cherishes the present reunion, cherishes each other, and agrees that after the victory of the Long March, Mr. Wu Zhengqing will treat guests, and everyone will get drunk together for three days and three nights.

"Xiao Zhang, do it well." When shaking hands with Zhang Qingshan, Wu Zhengqing pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, after the victory of the Long March, I will personally be a witness for you and Comrade Xiang Xueqin, how about it?"

The head of the group Liu Yongjiang on the side immediately interjected: "At that time, if you dare to forget to invite me, a matchmaker, to a wedding wine, I will definitely make a big fuss at the wedding scene, so that you can't get off the stage."

Zhang Qingshan knew that this was not only a protection from the two leaders for his private love affair with Xiang Xueqin, but also a blessing from an old comrade for the beautiful belonging of the revolutionary fighters, as well as his confidence and confidence in the victory of the Long March. look forward to.

"Thank you teacher, thank you team leader. At that time, I will definitely invite you two...and all comrades." Zhang Qingshan shouted excitedly: "Everyone has agreed that after the victory of the Long March, you will come to join me. If anyone dares to miss the wedding, don't blame me for pointing their noses and scolding mothers one by one."

This is also the hope that everyone can live to the end of victory...
