Chapter 86: A Thousand Miles of Water and Meadow
In the early morning of the next day, more than 400 troops were assembled outside the village. Just like the last time they crossed the snowy mountain, before setting off, Zhao Fei and Shao Fei stood in front of the team and held a "pledge meeting" to boost the morale of the soldiers.
First of all, Zhao Fei was the first to speak.
Zhao Fei stood in front of the team, glanced at all the soldiers with a solemn gaze, and then said passionately: "We are about to cross thousands of miles of water and grassland, this is our last barrier!" After it passes, it means the victory of the Long March! We will join forces and rejoin the torrent of revolution! ”
Zhao Fei slowed down and continued to say highly: "There are 'three fears' and 'three difficulties' in the grassland, but we will use the revolutionary blood, revolutionary faith, friendship between comrades-in-arms, and revolutionary optimism to defeat it!" As long as we are united, help each other, and love each other, nothing is invincible! The people who stand beside you are your brothers, your sisters, and your family! So, on the grass, we will not give up on any family! I will overcome a thousand miles of meadows! ”
After listening, Shao Fei on the side sighed again in his heart: Zhao Fei's words are always so infectious.
"The revolution will win!" The pillars shouted slogans from the crowd, so the warriors joined them. The sound is passionate and shocks the soul of every warrior.
After the sound of the slogan stopped, Shao Fei stepped forward with a calm expression and said to everyone: "I just want to tell you a story before leaving." Once upon a time, there was a man who crossed the desert alone, and halfway through the journey, he found that he had no water or dry food on him. The desert was scorching, the sun was scorching, and the man began to despair.
Suddenly, he found that there was another apple in his pocket, and the man took it out, looked at it for a long time, and put the apple back in his pocket.
When he was thirsty and hungry, he thought that he still had an apple in his pocket, and he walked out of the desert. When I took the apple out of my pocket again, I found that the apple was rotten.
What is Apple? It was the man's hope to get out of the desert! I hope that everyone has such an apple in their hearts, as long as they have hope, what is this vast water and grassland in the eyes of our Red Army? ”
Zhao Fei boosted the morale of the troops, while Shao Fei brought hope to everyone.
After Erfei finished speaking, Zhao Fei ordered loudly: "Go!" ”
A team of 400 people marched towards thousands of miles of water and grassland with passion.
Marching arrangement: Zhao Fei led one to four platoons to be the vanguard, including a logistics team of 30 strongmen; After Shao Fei led the remaining five clearances, including the health team.
Shao Fei was worried about Liu Ying, the temperature difference between day and night in the grassland was extremely large, and it was unpredictable. Shao Fei was afraid that Liu Ying's hypothermia would not be able to withstand that temperature. Moreover, Liu Ying is the captain of the medical team, and if she falls, the impact on the troops will be great.
After a morning's march, the troops reached the eastern valley of Ganzi. This was also the starting point for the Red Second Front Army to enter the grassland.
At this time, it began to drizzle in the sky. The gloomy clouds pressed down on the grass like a gray quilt. Looking at the meadow in the distance, the green patch is endless. There are no trees on the meadows, only pools scattered everywhere, giving people a sense of death.
Zhao Fei ordered the logistics to distribute the raincoats to the female soldiers of the health team, and more than 20 female soldiers put on black raincoats together. These female soldiers are the key protection objects of Shao Fei and Zhao Fei. And the other fighters can only get drenched in the rain.
Entering the meadow, Zhao Fei was still the same, taking the lead, walking at the front of the team, stepping on the meadow, holding a wooden stick, and moving forward with difficulty.
The rain became heavier and heavier, making the march of the troops extremely difficult. The soldiers' clothes had long been wet from the rain, and they were cold.
Zhao Fei ordered the second platoon and the hadron to protect the supplies together, and try not to get wet by the rain. These important life materials had been wrapped in tarpaulins before departure, but the rain was too heavy, and Zhao Fei was worried.
Once the grain and barley noodles are wet by the rain, they will turn into gnocchi and it will be difficult to swallow.
Shao Fei was at the end of the troops, carrying pillars, knives and others, protecting medical supplies.
The team of 400 people was like a long blue dragon, swimming in the vast grassland. Death has always been with them. If someone steps on the air, they will fall into the quagmire of death.
In the afternoon, the clouds dispersed and the sun was scorching. Zhao Fei found a large hayfield, so he ordered the troops to stop advancing, rest in place, and eat. And told the soldiers to change into dry clothes, and dry their wet clothes while they were resting.
Shao Fei came to Liu Ying, the health team, who was eating dry barley noodles.
Shao Fei smiled and asked, "Honey, it's okay, right?" ”
"Meat and hemp~" Liu Ying raised her head and looked at Shao Fei, and continued to eat barley noodles.
Shao Fei sat next to Liu Ying and said, "Actually, the morning was quite relaxed, after all, it was just set off." The road ahead will be more and more difficult, I just hope you are mentally prepared. In case you faint again, I'm going to give you an artificial exhalation again. ”
"You also said that last time on the snowy mountain, you lost the dead."
Liu Ying was shy and didn't think about Shao Fei, recalling that time Shao Fei kissed his mouth and touched his chest, and his face suddenly began to redden.
At this time, Zhao Fei walked over and teased: "What's the matter, brother." I don't miss this little time to rest. ”
"You want to talk to me about work again, and you won't let me go of this little rest time."
Shao Fei smiled and stood up.
"There's no way" Zhao Fei looked at the vast grassland and sighed: "It's more difficult than I imagined, with such a marching speed, it will take us at least 20 days to pass." ”
"I told you a long time ago, but fortunately we have all the supplies and are not afraid of accidents. What we have to worry about is food. ”
After Shao Fei finished speaking, he suddenly saw a soldier walking to the water grass to ask for water, so he shouted: "Hey! That water can't be drunk! ”
Shao Fei said, hurriedly ran over, and accused: "Didn't I tell you before I set off, you can't drink the water in the grassland!" ”
The warrior looked at the water on the ground and said, "I think it's pretty clear, it should be fine." ”
Shao Fei shook his head helplessly, and explained again: "The water in the grassland is stagnant all year round, which is equivalent to miasma and poisonous. ”
After Shao Fei finished speaking, he then asked, "Didn't your class distribute water, why don't you drink it?" ”
The warrior replied, "I want to save it for the critical moment?" ”
After Shao Fei listened, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and finally said: "There is a river in the grassland, aren't you afraid that there will be no water?" Go back and drink the water from the class. ”
After the man left, Zhao Fei walked over and smiled. Shao Fei turned around and said helplessly: "What are they thinking in their heads?" ”
Zhao Fei explained: "You can't blame them, they eat too dry. Wanted to leave the water for the other fighters. ”
After listening to this, Shao Fei realized that he was in a hurry just now.
"We should be very relieved that we have such fighters, but you just had a problem with your attitude. Comrade Shao Fei, I want to criticize you. ”
Zhao Fei criticized Shao Fei with a smile.
Shao Fei just smiled and walked back with Zhao Fei. The two of them discussed the future of the troops as they walked.
After an hour's rest, the troops continued to set off, and Shao Fei had been nervous until now, and the grass was even more terrifying than what he had seen in the book. Do you really have the confidence that you can lead all these 400 people out of the meadow?
