Chapter 3 Heaven and Earth (November 1) At this moment, Zhang Songling had no intention of joking with Wu Yunqi. She blushed and hesitated for a few words, then put down the chopsticks, fell asleep, and ate the next day. After breakfast, I immediately called Lao Yang, led the cavalry company and the soldiers of the Blackstone guerrillas, and rode back south. No longer needing to accommodate and protect the students along the way, the march speed of the group immediately accelerated a lot. In just six short days, they returned to the center of the Black Rock base, Lamagou Qilin Ridge. Looking at the familiar plants and trees, Zhang Songling's heart surged. He was finally back officially. From now on, he can continue to fight side by side with his good brothers. He will use the knowledge learned in the military academy to build the Black Stone Base into a real steel thorn. It dug into the heels of the Mongolian garrison, causing their every move to be extremely painful. In addition, Siqin's Black Flag Yete Right Banner, Zhou Heitan Blackstone Independent Battalion, Baiyin's Black Flag Yete Left Banner, and even Zhenguogong Baolige's Front Banner can all be regarded as ready-made or potential allies. Drawing land as a prison is not in the long-term interests of the Blackstone guerrillas. It is not only the responsibility of the Blackstone guerrilla family to expel the imps from the grassland. Those Mongolians who grew up here since childhood, and those Han people who have come here to open up wasteland since their ancestors and fathers, are also responsible for There are those primitive tribes who ride on horseback and live in pursuit of water and grass. They are also unwilling to continue to endure the oppression of the little devils. As long as the guerrillas show enough strength and extend their hands to them at the right opportunity, I believe that no one will turn around. And go. A promising blueprint is about to be launched. It is the Blackstone Guerrilla that we are talking about. After years of accumulation by the old captain Wang Huzi, and the unremitting efforts of himself, Brother Long, Fang Guoqiang and others, the future of the guerrillas will be determined. Like the new leaves on the treetops, they are filled with late spring sunshine. It¡¯s just that the mountain road is so quiet today. Maybe it¡¯s because of the excitement. Zhang Songling was so excited that he actually felt a little uneasy in his heart. It stands to reason that the soldiers on duty at the first few sentries would see such a big man like himself. The figure of the captain would take the initiative to greet him. This was what they did when he came back last time. Why, after just half a month, everyone's attitude towards him has become cold. With some confusion, Zhang Songling mobilized his mount and continued walking up the mountain until he reached the first checkpoint, and finally saw two familiar faces. They looked at him with red eyes. Before he could speak, tears rolled down his face. . "What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Songling's heart suddenly stopped beating. He dismounted and grabbed the soldier who was closer. "Xiao Wang, what happened on the mountain? Has anyone died? Hurry up. Tell me, as the captain, I order you to report truthfully. ""Captain" Although Zhang Songling was followed by a whole company of guests, the soldier Xiao Wang burst into tears, "Brother Long, Brother Long is injured, Uncle Scar. , Uncle Scar is rescuing him, it¡¯s been a day and a night, wow.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± It was like a thunderbolt hit his head, Zhang Songling¡¯s eyes were blackened and his ears were buzzing, ¡°Say it again, Who was injured, how and where it was. " "Yes, it's Brother Long." Hearing Zhang Songling's rapid-fire questions, Xiao Wang cried even louder. He was originally a little beggar with no food or clothing. My son, it was Brother Long who picked him up from the snow and led him up the mountain. It was Brother Long who gave him the first full meal in his life. It was Brother Long who taught him how to shoot. It was Brother Long who gave him his hand. He helped him get on the horse's back. "Don't cry. Tell me where Brother Long was injured and how he was injured." Zhang Songling's eyes were filled with fire, and she slapped Xiao Wang hard in the face with a strong voice. "I, I don't know, I don't know, wuwu." Xiao Wang was staggered, raised his peach-like eyes, and cried in response, "He was covered in blood at the time, and then, then Political Commissar Fang ordered the entire mountain to "Martial law." "Report to the captain, it was Du Waizui and Captain Zheng who brought Brother Long back around ten o'clock yesterday morning. We didn't see the exact location of the injury. Now the political commissar has ordered that the information be temporarily blocked." Another guerrilla was slightly calmer than Xiao Wang. Seeing that his companion was always incoherent, he rushed to report to Zhang Songling. "Everyone was carried back and sealed." Zhang Songling was anxious and angry, as if the anger in his stomach might burst out at any time. He tugged on the horse's reins hard, turned his head, jumped on the mount, "Old Yang "I'll go up first. Please take your brothers and walk slowly behind." "Oh, just go ahead and leave the rest to me." Yang, the leader of the cavalry company affiliated with the military division guard group, agreed quickly. , raised his hand to salute Zhang Songling. Before he could finish his words, Zhang Songling's horse had already jumped more than ten feet away. Both the man and the horse seemed to be flying, and they were galloping against the rugged rocks on both sides of the mountain road. "Be careful the road is steep." Lao YangHe shouted another loud warning at the top of his lungs, and then looked in the direction where Zhang Songling disappeared and stamped his feet repeatedly. A war horse bred from a cross between Western thoroughbreds and Mongolian horses, has many advantages such as strong explosive power, long-lasting endurance, and is not picky about feed, but it is difficult to deal with complex problems. The ability to adapt to the terrain is far inferior to that of the Mongolian horses. The mountain roads in Qilin Ridge were obviously opened up to strengthen defense. Many places are tightly attached to the edge of the cliff. In case the horse riding on the crotch stumbles, Zhang Songling at this moment has no chance. He couldn't hear what Lao Yang was shouting, and his whole mind was filled with the shadow of Zhao Tianlong, the strong man who broke the steel knife with one shot and pulled him back from the gate of hell, the man who tried every means to get him to join the guerrillas and recognized him This is the only correct choice of good friend in the world, the cavalry captain who fought side by side with him and charged against the Japs' machine guns. The good brother who stood by him immediately after Red Beard's death and firmly maintained the authority of his captain. That chivalrous and brave man, a good helper and good colleague of the three armed forces. The brothers on duty at the checkpoints along the way could understand the captain's mood at this time, and very reasonable and got out of the way in advance. Regarding the injury of deputy captain Zhao Tianlong, they As worried as Zhang Songling, over the past few years, everyone has long been accustomed to the days of leaping horses and swinging swords under the leadership of Brother Long. In the impression, they have never seen Brother Long fall off his mount, even in the most intense Qilin. During the battle to defend the mountain ridge, in order to create diversion opportunities for Red Beard and the people at the foot of the mountain, he led everyone to charge at enemy forces several times his own. He only suffered a slight skin injury and did not even apply anti-inflammatory powder. After drinking some soju, I jumped on the horse again and led everyone to continue galloping. However, just when the little devil in Black Rock City was almost beaten to the ground, Brother Long, who had an indestructible body and was regarded by everyone as their idol in life, was suddenly seriously injured. Splotches of blood appeared from the foot of the mountain. It extends to the top of the mountain. When everyone saw the dying figure on Du Waizui's back, their first feeling was that this is not true. How is this possible? Who in the world can hurt Brother Long? However, the reality is incomparable. It was so cold that one could hardly stand. Brother Long was injured. He was knocked down by a Japanese-made grenade from less than five meters away from his back. There was almost no intact part of his back. "Uncle Scar is still rescuing us. We have enough western medicine this time." In addition to getting out of the way and clearing all possible obstacles in advance, the soldiers at each level also did not forget to tell what they knew about the situation. The moment the war horses passed by, he reported as much as possible to his team leader, "Political Commissar Fang has sent a telegram to the military division asking for help, and a surgeon will be sent over there." "The century-old ginseng I bought for Team Wang last time is still there. Here, Uncle Scar has already fed Brother Long. "We have found several people who can give blood to Brother Long. The health workers assigned to us by the military division know how to do blood transfusions." "" Zhang Songling is grateful for the kindness of the soldiers. Then he responded with a decisive order, "Block the news to the outside world as much as possible, and block it for as long as possible." Zhao Tianlong is not only the deputy captain of the Blackstone guerrillas, but also the soul of all cavalry and the Dinghai Shenzhen of the entire base. Almost every person who fights on horseback in the guerrillas has received his guidance to a greater or lesser extent. Including Zhang Songling himself, he taught most of the riding and sword skills step by step, without any hidden secrets when teaching. If his injury is too serious, the offensive power of the guerrillas will be reduced by at least half in a short period of time. , and those eyes snooping around the base area will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble. Walking all the way up, accepting the goodwill of the soldiers all the way, Zhang Songling's mind actually regained some sense when entering the main camp gate. No matter what, rescuing Zhao Tianlong must be the first priority. This kind of At this time, as the captain, I must not appear too panicked, otherwise, it will only let the snoops around see the advantage, and it will only make the complex situation that the guerrillas originally faced become even worse. Trying to control the anxiety in his heart, he turned his horse's head and rushed straight to the large ward specially opened for Lao Scar in the rear camp. From a distance, he could see the figures on the three floors inside and three outside. All of them had not left. The brothers on the mission all rushed over and stood outside the large ward, anxiously waiting for the news inside. Several people whose blood types were found to be similar to Brother Long ignored the wind and exposed one arm and lined up to wait. At the main entrance of the ward, just wait for the hygienist to show up, and then fight for the next chance to have blood drawn. Seeing Zhang Songling's figure, the brothers were stunned at first, and then quickly made way for a passage. The captain was back, the most knowledgeable captain was back. He had saved the entire guerrilla group many times at critical moments. This time Brother Long is in trouble, how can he not give everyone another surprise! "Those who don't donate blood should go back to rest immediately. If everyone is exhausted, who will go if the little Japs come to the base area to cause destruction again? Expel them?" Zhang Songling dismounted, took a deep breath, and then? He ordered calmly, he is the captain, the captain of the entire Blackstone guerrillas, Brother Long is injured, at this time, he must show his calmness and strength. No one moved, all the brothers looked at him quietly, their eyes full of expectation. "Old Zheng, please lead me back to rest. Don't forget, you are the squadron leader of our guerrillas, not the common people at the foot of the mountain." Zhang Songling frowned, hardened his heart and began to point out, his eyes were like the north wind. Sweeping through the crowd, there was no trace of accommodating in them. "Yes." Zheng, the leader of the first squadron, had to agree and walked out slowly. The cadres in the team thought about it and understood the good intentions of their captain. They suppressed the sadness in their hearts and silently Turn around. Under the leadership of the cadres, the brothers left one after another. Every time they took a few steps, they couldn't help but look back to see if any miracles happened in the room in these few seconds. Brother Long is a tough guy. , How could he be brought down by a grenade, , The captain has come back to see him, the two brothers have not seen each other for more than a year, how can he bear it, how can he bear to continue to sleep unconscious. Just as everyone was stumbling, a guy with a face so swollen that it was hard to tell who he was suddenly jumped up under the window sill. He ran up to Zhang Songling in three or two steps, and with a "pop", he knelt down and said, "Captain, You, please shoot me. Brother Long was injured because he was trying to save me. I was the one who dragged Brother Long down because I was eager to take credit. It was me who wanted to catch someone alive, so I gave the little devil the chance to throw the grenade. It's me, it's me." "Du Waizui." Zhang Songling was stunned and stopped hesitantly. From the voice, he concluded that the person kneeling in front of him was Du Waizui, but there were traces of blood everywhere on this man's face. He was bruised, his body was covered with footprints, and his waist was stooped like a beggar's. He didn't show any of the courage he had when he forced others to accept him to join the guerrillas. "Don't be so pretentious here." A soldier Zhang Songling had never seen before stepped forward, raised his leg and kicked Du Waizui, then reported to Zhang Songling loudly with red eyes, "When the grenade fell to the ground, Brother Long I pinned him down, otherwise, he should be the one receiving the rescue now. This bastard is crazy for wanting to make a meritorious service. He actually went to carry the wounded kid, Brother Long, Brother Long." Before he could finish his words, his eyes turned red again. , tears rolled down, and other soldiers around him also stepped forward with gritted teeth, and punched and kicked Du Waizui again. The latter did not dodge or beg for mercy, but just kept crying, "Just shoot me." "Just shoot me, it's me who dragged Brother Long down. It's me who is obsessed with grabbing the prisoners." "Stop it, don't fight. How to deal with him must follow the discipline of our guerrillas." Zhang Songling was worried about Du at this moment. Waizui also hated Du Waizui to the bone, but he couldn't watch this man being beaten to death by his brothers. He scolded him in a low voice, then bent down and tried his best to pull Du Waizui up from the ground, "He can still walk on his own. Well, if you can, just go back and rest first, don¡¯t think too much, as long as you are not." Before he could finish his sentence, there was suddenly a violent sound of horse hooves behind him, followed closely by a ball of fire. Rolling past her ears, Siqin, the Queen of Ye Teyou Banner of Wuqi, held a box of cannons with one hand, pushed away the crowd and rushed into the ward, "Brother Long, don't be afraid, Siqin is here, Siqin is here to accompany you. Yes, we two will live together and die together today."
