Early the next morning, the troops were ready to assemble and set off. Because of yesterday's incident, Zheng Bin felt ashamed of the Red Army, so he personally supervised the repair of the ship overnight. At 8:10 a.m., the Red Army began to cross the river on time.

This crossing of the river is also the same as yesterday, Shao Fei and others with good water will pass first, and there will be no problem waiting for the boat, and the follow-up troops will cross the river in order. Zhao Fei stayed at the end, and after thanking Zheng Bin on behalf of the Red Army, he got on the boat.

It took the troops a full hour to cross the Jinsha River. When we arrived at the ground of Tuwang, it was noon. Shao Fei and Zhao Fei entered the village after discussion, and the troops rested for two days again.

There were two reasons for the two-day rest. First, a month and a half before the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, some of the wounded soldiers could not cross the snow-capped mountains, so they were stranded in this area; Second, inquire about the situation of the snow-capped mountains and make final preparations.

After entering the village, the villagers warmly received them. Shao Fei observed the clothes of these villagers and came to the conclusion that the life of the villagers here was very difficult.

So he ordered Zhao Fei not to levy grain or accept anything given by the people. If you live in a villager's house, you should be given enough ocean. Because now they are considered a tyrant-level Red Army.

After settling the troops, Zhao Fei organized and arranged eight squads of the first and second platoons to search for the wounded and sick of the stranded Red Army in the areas of Wuzhu, Tuwang, and Lange.

At night, Shao Fei was called out by Zhao Fei from inside the house. On the wide ground on the other side of the intersection, two rows of people were neatly arranged. Shao Fei visually inspected it, and it was estimated that there were more than 40 people. They were all empty-handed, and their clothes were very tattered.

Shao Fei knew that these were the wounded soldiers from today's eight squads, who were found from all over the area.

Shao Fei walked to the front of the queue and looked at them, most of them were very thin, and their average age was about eighteen years old.

"Hello." Shao Fei saluted, and then said, "My name is Shao Fei." ”

At this time, one of the fighters said excitedly: "I know you. It was you who took twelve soldiers of the Yunnan Army and wiped out those damned mountain bandits who pretended to be our Red Army. ”

Another soldier next to him was also very excited, and then said: "Do you know, those mountain bandits pretended to be our Red Army, and we, the wounded soldiers abandoned by the troops, were looked down upon by our fellow villagers every day. ”

"You can't say abandon." Zhao Fei immediately corrected on the side: "The troops are also thinking about your life safety. There were many soldiers who were not injured or sick, and they all died on the vast snow-capped mountains. ”

Someone in the team asked, "Our injuries are healed, so will you take us across the snowy mountains?" ”

"Yes!" Shao Fei replied loudly and affirmatively: "As long as you are willing, I will take you across the snowy mountains, walk the grassland, and find our team." ”

Shao Fei's words greatly touched the hearts of these warriors. They had already given up everything and lived a life under the fence, and they were afraid of being caught every day.

Because of the incident of the mountain bandits, their lives were even more difficult, and it was only after Shao Fei was exterminated that they regained their dignity.

Suddenly, someone laughed and asked, "Are you really the Red Army?" ”

"Why, isn't it like?"

Zhao Fei didn't understand why the warrior asked.

The man said, "I see that you are dressed neatly and brightly, and you are wearing new cotton shoes, and many of your military uniforms are brand new. ”

Shao Fei laughed after hearing this, and then shouted to the strong shout in the distance: "Qiangzi, come here." ”

When Qiangzi heard Shao Fei's shout, he immediately ran over and asked, "What's the matter with the squad leader?" ”

"How many uniforms and shoes are left?"

"There were still sixty-one sets of military uniforms, and ninety-three pairs of cloth shoes."

Hadron replied to Shao Fei's words in detail. He kept all these numbers in his head.

"And so many?"

Zhao Fei smiled, as if he couldn't believe it.

Qiangzi replied seriously: "The squad leader said that there will be many comrades on the road, so I tried to prepare as much as possible." ”

"Alright." Shao Fei raised his hand and instructed Qiangzi: "Take these new comrades with new military uniforms and new cotton shoes, and equip them by the way." And wait for the cooking class to make more dishes, there must be meat, you know. When our comrades are welcome home. ”

"Got it, it's our company's rules, I know."

Hadron smiled, and then left with forty-two.

After they left, Zhao Fei turned around and asked Shao Fei: "How to compile them?" ”

Shao Fei asked, "Are there any cadres among them?" ”

"No, only two squad leaders." After Zhao Fei finished speaking, he suggested: "I have a proposal to form another platoon and call the pillar to be the platoon leader." ”

"Nope." Shao Fei shook his head and refused, and then said, "The pillar just made a mistake. is saying that he does not have the qualifications to be a platoon commander yet. ”

Shao Fei thought about it for a while and said, "In this way, assign these people to four platoons according to their personal conditions, as well as Hadron's logistics and cooking classes." Now there is no war, and the logistics of crossing the snowy mountains are very important. ”

Zhao Fei followed Shao Fei's suggestion and arranged for the return of these forty people. Zhao Fei distributed the soldiers with good physique and strong combat ability according to their combat ability, and the rest were divided into the other third and fourth platoons and the logistics team.

After Zhao Fei left, Shao Fei went to the cooking class.

There are 12 people in the cooking class, and the place where they live now is a large compound room rented during the day. Now is the busiest time for them, they are all busy preparing the company's dinner.

When I entered the kitchen, the fog was billowing and the sound of shovels and iron pots colliding was constantly heard in my ears. When the soldiers of the cooking class saw Shao Fei coming in, they kept greeting him, after all, Shao Fei was the combat hero in their hearts.

The cooking squad leader is Feng Yuedong, nicknamed Feng Da Tieguo, a native of Xiangxi, who speaks a very strong Hunan dialect. A big figure, but he cooks a good dish.

When Feng Yuedong saw Shao Fei coming in, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, wiped his hands with the white scarf cloth in front of him, and walked in front of Shao Fei with this amiable smile.

"Squad Leader Shao, how come you are a busy man who has time to come here."

"The dishes made by squad leader Feng are so fragrant, I belong to a dog, and I came here when I smelled the smell."

Shao Fei's joke drew laughter from the soldiers in the room. Afterwards, Shao Fei called Feng Yuedong out of the door.

"Is there something wrong? Shao squad leader. ”

Feng Yuedong asked repeatedly, his expression a little anxious, because he was still waiting for himself to take charge of the spoon.

"We're going to have a full day off tomorrow, you know, I think you're tired from your cooking shift, and you're going to make three days' worth of rations, and you'll need dry goods, like flatbread and the like. Then put more cumin, chili powder and the like. I'll call a squad of fighters to come and help. ”

"No problem." Feng Yue readily agreed, and then said, "It's okay, I'll go back first, cook this dish in the pot." ”

"There's no hurry." Shao Fei stopped Feng Yuedong, then hesitated and said, "Before leaving the day after tomorrow, I think your cooking class will send all the iron pots and don't take them on the road." ”

"What's going on, it's all the guys who eat."

Feng Yuedong immediately became anxious after hearing this, and then said excitedly: "My nickname is Feng Da Iron Pot, how can you let me give away the iron pot, you just give me away." ”

Shao Fei smiled after hearing this: "The soldiers in the cooking class are all treasures, especially you Feng squad leader, the Hunan cuisine is made, and the masters of the five-star hotel are not as good as you." But those iron pots are too heavy and a burden, and it's hard for you to imagine how terrible the snow-capped mountains are. ”

Shao Fei's farts are quite comfortable, although he doesn't know what a five-star hotel is, he knows that Shao Fei is praising himself.

Shao Fei continued: "We are all squad leaders, and we have to consider the safety of our soldiers, don't we. ”

Feng Yuedong shook his head helplessly, "Okay, just listen to you, I'll cook if it's okay." ”

"Well, every meal is an anticipation."

Shao Fei waved his hand and smiled.

Feng Yuedong smiled and pointed at Shao Fei and entered the kitchen.

The next day was the busiest day for the troops, because he had to prepare a large number of items to cross the snowy mountains. The snow-capped mountains are the biggest obstacle and the most difficult journey of the Long March. Shao Fei and Zhao Fei didn't dare to slack off.

Shao Fei ordered a strong son to prepare a wide cotton cloth for each of them to cover their mouths and noses.

Zhao Fei led the troops to buy flour, soybeans, chili peppers, ginger and other foods that were two layers higher than the market price.

The health team took the necessary measures to keep the wounds of the wounded warm.

Therefore, the departments are busy in an orderly manner, all in order to cross the "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain", a peak of more than 5,000 meters.
