On the afternoon of the day before departure, Zhao Fei gathered all the stranded soldiers and gathered in the open space outside the village, with a total of 452 people.

They were all eager to follow this army across the meadows and go north to resist the Japanese. But the reality is cruel.

After two days of screening, Zhao Fei divided the 452 people into two parts. A group of 220 men went north with their own troops; A group of 232 people could only stay due to serious injuries.

Zhao Fei and Shao Fei stood in front of the team, behind them was a row of soldiers, there was a large frame in front of a row, and inside the frame was the ocean that had been used in the past few days.

Zhao Fei looked solemn, walked up to the stranded soldiers, and said apologetically: "First of all, I'm sorry. I really wish I could take everyone north, but the harsh reality doesn't allow us to do that. You must know that our three main forces have crossed the grassland, and there are no less than 10,000 comrades-in-arms who died in the grassland. They were all fine before they set off, but in the end they all died on the grass. starvation, freezing, and ...... in the mire"

Zhao Fei's mood became heavier and heavier, and he didn't know how to continue.

The warrior in front of Zhao Fei showed a sad look. After listening to Zhao Fei's unfinished words, they began to understand the company's intention of telling them to continue to stay, which was responsible for the lives of the soldiers.

At this time, Shao Fei walked over, patted Zhao Fei, and then said loudly to everyone: "We have done our best, and we are responsible for the lives of every soldier." But I believe that no matter where we are, we all have the same name 'Red Army'! Our hearts are always red! ”

Shao Fei doesn't want everyone to be sad and lost. What is needed now is morale, hope, not how to explain why you can't take them.

"Carry the revolution through to the end!" Shao Fei suddenly raised his fist and shouted a high slogan.

"Carry the revolution through to the end!"

“……”

The soldiers present shouted slogans together with Shao Fei.

Shao Fei finally understood why people in this era like to shout slogans so much. Because they need morale, strength, hope.

After the slogan stopped, Zhao Fei had already regained his composure and continued to say to everyone: "There are more than 1,000 oceans behind me. You take five pieces each, and that's the only thing we can do for you. ”

"We don't need to!" One of the fighters shouted.

"Yes, we don't."

“……”

The stranded fighters said they didn't need the money and left it for the troops to continue north.

"Be quiet!" Shao Fei shouted.

So the people quieted down, and Shao Fei continued: "These are just a part of our money. Grain could not be bought, so there was a lot of ocean left. In addition to these, we also have more than 2,000, which is enough, so everyone can take it with confidence. It also means that we can go north with peace of mind and don't have to worry about your situation. ”

Shao Fei's words shocked Zhao Fei because he was lying. In fact, the troops only left 500 oceans for urgent needs.

The warriors looked at each other and decided to take the money anyway. More than 200 people lined up in an orderly manner and stepped forward to take the money.

Xu Pengfei stood in front of the team and kept an eye on them.

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Fei suddenly shouted, and then stepped forward and said to a soldier who had just taken the money: "You only took 3 yuan, and you are still 2 yuan short." ”

The fighter said, "I only need 3 pieces." ”

"The company commander ordered, 5 pieces is 5 pieces."

As he spoke, Xu Pengfei took 2 pieces of ocean from the frame and stuffed them to the soldier.

"Platoon Commander Xu."

Zhao Fei walked over and ordered, "You are responsible for dividing it, 5 yuan per person." ”

"Yes!"

In the end, Xu Pengfei personally took the money and distributed it to these fighters until it was finished.

Half an hour later, these stranded fighters all got 5 pieces of ocean. Scattered out of the clearing.

Zhao Fei looked at their departing backs, and his heart was sour. So he used all his strength and shouted, "Therefore men obey!" Salute to our comrades-in-arms!! ”

"Brush!" With a bang, all the soldiers present turned to face those comrades-in-arms who could not go north to resist the Japanese, and saluted and said goodbye.

The departing warriors stood scattered everywhere, and when they heard the roar, they all turned around and looked at them with solemn eyes. Then stand upright and salute the last military salute to the departing comrades.

Seeing this scene, Shao Fei felt extremely emotional in his heart, and he didn't know how to describe it in words.

In modern times, Shao Fei has also seen many comrades-in-arms retire from the army, but he has never been so sad as now.

After these stranded warriors left, Zhao Fei and Shao Fei began to organize the remaining warriors.

In the past two days, Zhao Fei has an understanding of these people, and how to compile them, Zhao Fei has already arranged them in the morning.

210 people, organized into five platoons, one logistics team, and one cooking squad. Each platoon commander was appointed by Zhao Fei.

In fact, the troops are close to the strength of a battalion. But Zhao Fei can't be promoted for himself, just like Shao Fei, the squad leader is still the squad leader.

Shao Fei was in charge of the five newly added platoons, and Zhao Fei was still in charge of the original troops. This is only a temporary arrangement for crossing the grassland, and after the convergence with the large army, there will be a higher level to reorganize the troops.

In the evening, after the two brothers Shao Fei and Zhao Fei were busy with everything, they came to a place where no one was.

The two sat on the ground against the wall, looking at the moonlight in the sky. Because they will lead the team into the meadow tomorrow, the two brothers need to be quiet to meet the final challenge of the Long March.

Shao Fei took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, took out one and handed it to Zhao Fei.

"I won't, and you're not unaware."

Shao Fei smiled and said, "Cigarettes can decompress." Besides, how can a man not smoke. The faint smell of tobacco on the body is the smell of men. ”

Zhao Fei couldn't stand Shao Fei's flickering, so he took it, and Shao Fei lit it for Zhao Fei with a match.

"Cough~cough~" Zhao Fei coughed twice and complained: "So choking." ”

|“ Just get used to it. Shao Fei took out one of his own, took a sip and said, "I'll leave tomorrow, in fact, I'm really afraid." ”

"I know."

Zhao Fei had a sad face, and after reluctantly taking another sip, he said: "Grain, we can only hold on for ten days at most, but what should we do in the next ten days." ”

Because of helplessness, Zhao Fei began to smile bitterly.

"And yaks."

Shao Fei also smiled bitterly and said, "Why else would I buy so much." Don't worry, brother, I still know a lot of wild vegetables. When you are bored, you go fishing, and at night you take the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, not to mention how comfortable it is. ”

"You're right, we need to maintain the optimism of the revolution. Relax, relax, and forget about everything now. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Fei took another puff and sighed: "I found that this cigarette is really a good thing, and there are a lot less worries." ”

Shao Fei patted Zhao Fei: "Congratulations, brother." You have the potential to be a smoker. ”

The two laughed together. At this time, Liu Ying and Wu Tianyue came over.

Liu Ying stepped forward and said, "I finally found your two brothers, and I am happy to run." ”

"Zhao Fei, why did you smoke, it's not good for your health."

After Wu Tianyue cared about Zhao Fei, she looked at Shao Fei with hatred, and said with hostility: "Did you ask him to smoke it?" ”

Shao Fei said seriously: "Hey~ Big sister, you are not him yet, you are too lenient." ”

"You ......"

Wu Tianyue pointed at Shao Fei, speechless with anger.

Zhao Fei took a sip and said, "Okay, sit down and enjoy the moon with us." ”

Wu Tianyue looked at the sky, snorted, and said, "Is there a moon?" It's all dark clouds. ”

"Only if there is a moon in the heart, there will naturally be a moon in the sky."

Shao Fei pretended to be a philosopher.

"It's still my Shao Fei who is insightful. Hee-hee"

Liu Ying sat next to Shao Fei and wrapped her arms around Shao Fei's arm without hesitation. And Wu Tianyue sat next to Zhao Fei, holding her knees with her hands.

This is the first time that the four of them have been together at the same time, and it is also their rare leisure time. They seem to have forgotten about the trifles of the troops, the troubles they have forgotten, the serious tests that are coming.
