The Red Army team struggled in the ice and snow. The severe cold has frozen the mountain in the clouds into a big ice cube. The wind roared and the snow fell heavily, which seemed to engulf the poorly equipped team.
The general gave up his horse to the seriously injured. He led the soldiers forward and opened a way for the follow-up troops in the ice and snow. What awaits them is harsh environment and cruel fighting. They may have no food, they may sleep in a snow den, they may walk more than 100 miles a day, and they may be suddenly attacked by the enemy. Can this team stand such a severe test? It is generally believed that.
The team suddenly slowed down, and there were many people in front, not knowing what they were doing. The general shouted as he walked, "Don't stop, let's go!" The general's guard came back and told him, "There is a man in front who is freezing to death."
Without saying anything, the cold general walked over there.
A frozen veteran, leaning against a bare tree trunk, sat motionless like a statue. He was covered with snow, and you could see his calm and natural expression, but you couldn't recognize his face for a moment.
There is still half a rolled cigarette between the middle finger and the index finger of the right hand, and the fireworks have been extinguished by the snow. He held out his hand slightly forward, as if he wanted to borrow a light from his comrades.
The general's face suddenly clouded, and the muscles around his mouth twitched obviously. He turned to the people around him and shouted, "Call the quartermaster, why not send him a cotton-padded coat?" A snowstorm swallowed up his words. His eyes are red, like an angry leopard, and he looks terrible.
No one answered him and no one went away. ...
"Did you hear that? Guards! Tell the quartermaster to run! " The muscles on the general's cheek are shaking badly, I don't know if it's because of cold or anger.
Then someone whispered to the general, "He is a quartermaster ..."
The general's angry gesture suddenly stopped. He stood for a whole minute. Snowflakes fell silently on his face and melted into flashing tears ... He took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, raised it to Mei Qi, and gave a solemn military salute to the quartermaster who was integrated with Yunzhongshan. ...
The snow is getting heavier and the wind is getting crazier and crazier. The heavy snow soon covered the quartermaster's body and he became a crystal monument.
The general said nothing and strode into the heavy snow. He heard countless heavy and firm footsteps, as if telling people: If victory does not belong to such a team, who will it belong to?
2, a bag of dry food
This story happened many years ago, when Uncle Red Army was on the Long March.
In the hospital of the Red Army, there is a little Red Army named Xiaolan. Xiaolancai 13 years old. Her parents were forced to death by the landlord, and she was taken to work by the landlord, who exploited and abused her. Later, when the Red Army came, Xiaolan ran to the army and said that she would never leave the Red Army again.
When the Red Army was on the Long March, Xiaolan followed the troops into the grassland.
Speaking of grass, children will definitely think of the grassy lawn in the park, which is flat and beautiful. The grassland where Uncle Red Army lives is not like this. It is extremely desolate.
There is nothing on the ground except weeds and mud pits, and you can't walk for dozens of days. I didn't see a house or an ordinary person along the way. Only a few eagles are flying in the sky.
On this day, walking, a small village appeared in front. Uncle Red Army was so happy when he saw it. Xiaolan is also happy to jump and jump. With the village, we can find food.
When the troops entered the village, Xiaolan settled the sick and wounded and took the rice bag to find food. But there is no one in the village.
Xiaolan was walking in the village and saw a threshing floor. There is a pile of wheat straw in the field, and there are no clean grains on it. She beat and beat the wheat straw, turned and beat it, and picked it up one by one.
Always smaller than a small bowl. How many meals can I eat with this? No, we still have to find it! Xiaolan just walked not far when she met a big Red Army with a heavy bag on her back.
Xiaolan looked, hey, isn't this the big man who was injured in our hospital? Small blue favour ask:
"Hey, where did you get so much food?"
The Red Army put down his pocket and said, "Hey, it's Xiaolan. I dug up these grains in the landlord's yard. How much food did you find? "
Xiaolan took out her pocket and said, "Well, here you are!"
The big red army took the rice bag and said with a smile, "Xiaolan, I heard that it takes more than 20 days to walk on the grass, and this wheat is not enough to plug your teeth!" "
"Look for it tomorrow!"
"Come on, give you some of mine!"
He said that he would put the wheat in Xiaolan's rice bag. Little blue hurriedly hid the rice bag behind her back, shook hands and said:
"No, there are many of you, and there is not enough to eat."
Big red army long arm, grabbed the rice bag, pour in, kindly say:
"It doesn't matter, let's each eat less, so we can save some."
Xiaolan found some wheat elsewhere, fried it, ground it into wheat flour and put it in a rice bag. I thought to myself: I will eat this wheat flour one handful at a time and pick some wild vegetables. I can eat it for 20 days and it will grow grass. Yes! Save some for the sick and wounded.
The next morning, the troops set out.
Xiaolan held the wounded, followed by the troops and walked forward carefully. Walking, a small river appeared in front, and a bridge was temporarily built on the river with tree trunks. The river under the bridge is rushing.
Xiaolan put the rice bag on her shoulder, hugged the wounded tightly and said, "Comrade, it's time to cross the bridge. Walk slowly! " "
Who knows, walking to the middle of the bridge, the injured man suddenly coughed, his face flushed, his body trembled, his foot slipped and his body tilted, and Xiaolan quickly tried to hold him. But the bag of wheat flour on Xiaolan's shoulder fell into the river. The rice bag rolled in the water a few times and was washed away.
Small blue was shocked, she quietly let out a cry:
"Oh, what can I do?"
The wounded see her staring at the river straight become speechless, q:
"Xiaolan, what fell into the river?"
Xiaolan quickly shook her head: "No, nothing is missing. Go! "
At this moment, the nurse came from behind. Xiaolan told her that the injured person had a bad cough. The head nurse held the wounded with both hands and said:
"Well, go ahead and see the doctor."
When she saw Xiao Lan, she seemed to understand something. She asked again:
"Small blue, what's the matter? Is it uncomfortable? "
"No. Um ... "
Xiaolan took back what she had just said to her mouth. She thought that she couldn't say anything if she lost her rice bag. Comrades will definitely give me their own food if they know. Everyone has little food. How did I eat them? No, I want to insist!
The nurse left. Xiaolan quickly pulled out a lot of weeds and put them in her satchel, stuffing them like eating.
In the evening, the troops rest. Xiaolan was afraid that everyone would see her eating weeds, so she ran to change the dressing and wash the bandage for the wounded. She didn't cook weeds until everyone had a rest after dinner.
After a few days like this, Xiaolan's health will not work. Often have loose bowels, dizzy hair, weak legs and no strength at all. One day, she fell to the ground while walking, knowing nothing. When she woke up, she found the nurse in charge carrying her.
The head nurse is over 40 years old. These days, like others, she eats weeds and wheat flour and is very weak. Carrying Xiaolan on her back, her face was dripping with sweat the size of a bean, her mouth was panting, and she staggered forward.
Xiaolan woke up and said, "Mammy, I can walk by myself. Please put me down! " "
It took a long time for the nurse to put her down. Xiaolan gritted her teeth and insisted on coming at night. After everyone had a rest, she hid aside and cooked weeds to eat.
Then the nurse came over with a smile: "Xiaolan, are you better?" Hey, why are you hiding here to cook? "
Xiaolan quickly covered the porcelain jar with her hand: "I cooked food and won't let you see it!" " "
"good! I don't watch. "
When the head nurse said this, Xiaolan grabbed the porcelain jar and looked at it: "Oh, Xiaolan, why do you only eat weeds and don't mix wheat flour at all?"
"The road is still long, keep it and eat slowly!"
"Where's your rice bag?"
Xiaolan patted the bag and said, "Isn't this?"
The head nurse asked strangely, "Why did you put it in the bag?"
"There is a hole in the rice bag, lest the wheat flour leak out!"
"Bring them here! I will sew it for you. "
After that, the nurse grabbed Xiaolan's satchel and opened it. It is full of weeds. She froze.
"Xiaolan, where's your wheat flour?"
Xiaolan couldn't hide it at first sight, so she had to tell the nurse in detail.
The head nurse said, "Oh, Xiaolan, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ? We took part in the revolution together like brothers and sisters. You have no food, everyone should help you! "
With that, the nurse took out a handful of wheat flour from his rice bag and put it in Xiaolan's jar.
"You eat first, and I'll report to the head immediately."
In a short time, Xiaolan's loss of rice spread like a gust of wind. Comrades immediately take out rice bags, and you put them in Xiaolan's satchel one by one. Small blue busy wave and said:
"No, no, thank you ..."
At that time, the injured man came up on crutches, with some food in his hand, and said excitedly:
"Little blue, you lost your food to save me. You must accept my share. "
The comrades all said, "Xiaolan, you can have it. No matter how hard it is, we will take your little Red Army out of the grass. "
Xiaolan was so moved that she couldn't speak that she had to accept everyone's food.
That night, Xiaolan couldn't sleep. I remember being exploited, beaten and scolded in the landlord's house when I was a child. If I hadn't found the producer, I would have died. After joining the Red Army, I got help and education from leaders and comrades, and learned many revolutionary truths!
Xiaolan secretly made up her mind that she must always listen to the party and always follow the * * * production party.
3. The story of Zhang Side eating poisonous weeds to save people?
After the troops entered the grassland, it was very difficult to March on the grassland because of the bad environment and climate. What is even more frightening is the lack of food and clothing. Many Red Army troops are buried in the grass. Seeing backwardness,
More and more comrades have died. Peng ordered people to kill their mounts and distribute them to comrades in the communication class and the security class as rations, and issued a call to comrades around him to "taste a hundred herbs." In the activity of "tasting a hundred herbs", Zhang Side always walks in front of others. ?
According to Zhang Xianyang's memory, once, the troops camped next to a swamp with abundant water and grass. A little soldier came to the pond and suddenly cried happily, Wild radish! Wild radish!
Zhang Side came to have a look, and sure enough, there were clumps of weeds with green leaves not far from the pond, which were similar in shape to radish leaves. The little soldier ran excitedly, pulled up a tree and sent it to his mouth.
Zhang's busy here is coming. Take it away, put it in your mouth first, chew it carefully, it's sweet and astringent. After a while, Zhang felt a little dizzy and weak here. Then, he had stomach cramps and vomited.
He quickly told the little soldier that the grass was poisonous. Come on ... before he finished, Zhang fell sideways and lost consciousness for a while. After more than half an hour, Zhang Side woke up slowly and vaguely saw the little soldier squatting in front of him with a porcelain jar. He quickly said, leave me alone and tell other comrades.
This is how Zhang Side gave the hope of life to his comrades-in-arms and left the danger of sacrifice to himself. Soon, Peng knew about it, and he praised Zhang Side.
4. Mao Zedong gave up dinner.
The Red Fourth Regiment, which had been a pioneer for the Central Red Army in the Long March, then opened up a road across the grassland. Before he left, Mao Zedong assigned a task to Yang Chengwu, political commissar of the Communist Youth League. Suddenly, he found that he hadn't eaten yet, so he handed his dinner-six egg-sized highland barley steamed buns to hungry Yang Chengwu.
Yang Chengwu said that at that time, everyone only had fixed rations. He couldn't bear to eat the chairman's meal, and he couldn't refuse, so he only ate two steamed buns.
Chairman Mao instructed Yang Chengwu: "As a vanguard group, the Red Fourth Regiment must go out of the vast grassland and March northward." After receiving instructions from Mao Zedong, Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu felt very honored. They decided that the second battalion (battalion commander Zhang Renchu) should be the vanguard of the regiment.
On the morning of August 2 1, the red fourth regiment took the lead in entering Songpan grassland. They invited a Tibetan tour guide in his 60s to lead the way. The Tibetan guide said, "Choose the densest roots, one by one. I walked like this and it took me days and nights to get out of the grass. The water in the grass is black and will swell when drunk. If the foot is cut, the wound will fester if it is soaked in water. "
To this end, the Red Fourth Regiment has formulated strict discipline, requiring officers and men to pass it on one by one: "Except river water and rainwater, you are not allowed to drink or use the water in the grass nest."
5. Half a bowl of highland barley noodles
On the barren grassland, Red Army soldiers have only a little barley flour for dry food.
Vice President Zhou Enlai, like the soldiers, never eats more highland barley noodles. He also taught the soldiers that in order to get out of the grassland and go north to resist Japan, they must pay special attention to diet. The soldiers listened to his words and put the only highland barley noodles in grain bags and tied them around their waists.
There are fewer and fewer highland barley noodles, so the soldiers can only mix a little highland barley noodles with wild vegetables to cook soup.
Soldier Wu Kaisheng has eaten his highland barley noodles and has been hungry for two days. When Vice President Zhou knew about it, he asked the guards to give him two bowls of highland barley noodles he had saved.
He looked at Wu Kaisheng's sallow face and said earnestly, "This is a revolution!" Wu Kaisheng said with tears: "As long as I have a breath, I will walk out of the grass with you and walk to the end of the revolution!"
It was stormy again that night, and the tent made of sheets couldn't stop it. The soldiers were soaked to the skin. Vice President Zhou ordered the soldiers to rest in his tent.
Everyone refused to go for fear of affecting his work.
He came in person in spite of the heavy rain and said, "I won't be at ease if you don't go." Vice President Zhou's words warmed the hearts of the soldiers like fire.
After walking like this for several days, the grassland is still endless. The highland barley noodles have been eaten, the wild vegetables have been eaten, and the army horses have been killed and eaten. Soldiers have to burn belts to eat, and even swallow the paper they carry with them to satisfy their hunger. The Red Army is in great trouble.
Vice President Zhou ordered all the remaining half bowls of highland barley noodles to be soaked in water: "What do you eat?" The guards are in a hurry.
Vice President Zhou's two big eyes glowed with gloomy light, and the muscles on his thin face trembled. "If there are comrades alive, there will be me. As long as one more soldier is alive, he will add strength to the revolutionary cause and take it out! "
This was distributed to the soldiers with highland barley flour mixed with a little hot water.
The soldiers shed tears. This half bowl of highland barley noodles is the heart and lifeblood of Vice President Zhou!
The soldiers are on their way again, on the vast grass.
The indestructible Red Army is advancing.
