A short story about the Long March of the Red Army.

On the way to the Long March, due to the hot weather, the commanders and fighters of the * * * production party all wore straw hats, and the Red Army scouts came from behind to report that the White Army was following. Comrade He Long nodded his head. Order everyone to move on.

When the Red Army came to a flat Shan Ye, Comrade He Long observed the terrain and ordered everyone to throw away their straw hats. Suddenly the army began to talk, but they still threw away their straw hats and obeyed orders. In an instant, straw hats of the Red Army were everywhere. Then He Long ordered everyone to act quickly.

The reactionary army led by Chiang Kai-shek caught up. The white army has no straw hat, and its eyes are full of golden flowers in hot weather. When they saw the straw hats thrown everywhere by the Red Army, they suddenly felt happy from the sky. They rushed to grab straw hats, but the bandit leader didn't stop them. They thought that the Red Army had escaped in the chaos.

At this time, there was the sound of a plane in the sky, and the White Army didn't mind. Because they understand that the plane is here to cooperate with them to catch up with the Red Army. Enemy planes don't think so. They haven't seen the shadow of Lian Hongjun these days, and they were scolded by the director.

This time, they were ecstatic to see all the troops on the ground wearing red-heart straw hats. The white army was bombarded by machine guns. The beaten white army died, was wounded and escaped.

When the Red Army heard the news, everyone applauded and praised Comrade He Long's intelligence.

2. Peng and his big black mule

Crossing the grassland is the most difficult part of the Red Army's Long March. The commander of the red army pushed north in the case of hunger and cold. The troops in front can dig wild vegetables to eat when there is no food, and the troops behind can't even find wild vegetables.

Peng led the Red Third Army Corps to take charge of the rear. He saw the soldiers faint from hunger one after another, so he fixed his eyes on his big mule.

When the horse set out from Jiangxi, it followed Peng's big mule and carried food and equipment along the way. Every day, its back is piled like a hill.

Sometimes Peng stroked the big black mule and said, "You are too hard to eat anything." . As he spoke, he divided some of his dry food, slipped it into the mouth of the big black mule and watched it finish eating.

At the moment, the grass has no food, so I decided to kill Peng Shangma to solve the urgent need. He called the keeper and asked, how many animals are there?

Even your big black mule has six. The old breeder replied.

All right, concentrate, kill and eat meat! Peng's right words are orders.

What? If I kill you, I can't get out. The old breeder was in a hurry. Hearing this, several guards gathered around and said loudly, Colonel, you can't kill the big black mule!

Peng carefully looked at the big black mule tied not far away and said calmly, the troops can't even eat wild vegetables at the moment. Only by killing animals can more people get out of the grass.

The old keeper said to Peng in tears, but how can you come out of the grass and kill others? The big black mule must stay. It contributed to the revolution.

Peng patted the old breeder on the shoulder and said, you can walk, so can I. Isn't the Snow Mountain already here? Revolution is nothing! The big black mule has contributed to the revolution, so let it make its last contribution this time!

Let's leave the big black mule. Everyone is asking.

Peng is a little impatient. He said loudly to the guards around him: Qiu Nanhui, pass my order and let Fang, the deputy village head, be responsible for killing mules!

Six cows were herded together. The old breeder patted the big black mule on the neck and whispered, big black mule, big black mule! You have been wronged. Made great contributions to the revolution!

Peng Huaide turned around. There were no gunshots, and no one wanted to shoot.

Twenty minutes have passed, and no one can be so cruel. The six animals seemed to have noticed something, and the crowd screamed a few times and bowed their heads silently.

Twenty minutes passed, and still no shots were heard.

Captain, shoot! If you don't kill them, I will kill you! Peng Huaide shouted with his hands crossed.

The deputy commander with a machine gun, with six animals in the distance, pointed their guns at them, and everyone closed their eyes.

The gun went off. Peng slowly took off his military cap and walked to the fallen big black mule. That night, there was more life by the prairie bonfire. Peng pushed open a bowl of broth sent by the guards and said angrily, I can't eat any more. Open it!

After a long journey, I have never seen a big black mule again. Melt in the rolling iron flow moving northward, melt in the sound of bamboo boards that propagandists encourage soldiers: no warm clothes, no hunger in their stomachs. I fainted, got up, followed, and went to the campsite.

3. Red boy

It was a late autumn day and the sun was setting in the west. Comrade Chen Geng often went hungry and felt very tired because he marched on the deserted grassland for a long time.

This time he fell behind, leading the same tired thin horse and moving forward step by step. Suddenly, I saw a little red army ahead, and like him, it also fell behind.

That little guy is eleven or twelve years old. Yellow face, a pair of big eyes, two thin lips, a little upturned nose, two feet wearing sandals, blue and red with cold. Comrade Chen Geng came up to him and said, Son, get on the horse and ride for a while.

The little guy put on an air of indifference, stared at Comrade Chen Geng's thin face with a beard and smiled and said in Sichuan words:

Old comrades, my physical strength is much stronger than yours. Get in the car and go.

Comrade Chen Geng said in a commanding tone: Let's ride for a while!

The child stubbornly said, "If you want me to race your horse, let's have a race." With that, he straightened up and made a gesture to run.

Then, let's go together.

No. You go first, I want to wait for my companion.

Comrade Chen Geng is very helpless. He took out a small bag of highland barley noodles from his body and handed it to the kid, saying, you have eaten.

That boy pulled the dry food bag on his body, patted it and said, look, it's bulging. I have more than you.

Comrade Chen Geng was finally persuaded by this boy, so he had to climb on his horse and walk forward. He rode his horse at once and felt restless. From the children he just met, he thought of a series of children.

From Shanghai and Guangzhou to the docks in Hong Kong, the poor children he had dealt with floated before his eyes.

No, I was cheated! Comrade Chen Geng suddenly gave a cry, immediately turned his horse's head and kicked off his horse several times, running all the way. When he found the child, the child had fallen on the grass.

Comrade Chen Geng struggled to hold the child on horseback, and his hand touched the child's dry food bag. This bag is very hard. What is that? He took it out and saw that it was a black Achyranthes bidentata bone with several tooth marks on it.

Comrade Chen Geng knows everything. At this time, the little guy stopped breathing.

Comrade Chen Geng put his arms around the kid and punched him in the mouth: Chen Geng, how can you live up to this little brother?

4. Be the monitor of the fish instead of the fish.

1In the autumn of 935, the Red Army entered the grassland. Because three small comrades have gastrointestinal problems, the instructor asked the cooking squad leader to take care of them.

Three patients only walked twenty miles a day. At the campsite, the squad leader dug up grass roots everywhere and cooked for them with highland barley noodles. In less than half a month, all the highland barley noodles were eaten. Hunger threatens them.

Although the monitor looks for weeds everywhere and digs roots, how can he eat enough? The monitor watched them slim down and didn't sleep a wink all night.

One day, the monitor was washing clothes by the river when he suddenly saw a fish jump out of the water. He quickly found a sewing needle and bent it into a hook shape, so that three comrades could eat fresh fish and drink fish soup.

But a little comrade noticed that when they were eating fish, the monitor never ate it. Later, the little comrade found that the monitor was eating leftovers and couldn't help crying.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the grass, the monitor fainted from hunger. Three little comrades hurried to fish and make soup, but the monitor died for them.

5, a bag of dry food

Xiaolan, a Red Army boy of 17 years old, finally got a bag of dry food when marching with the army. When crossing the bridge, she saw an injured man and ran to take care of him. Unexpectedly, her dry food bag unfortunately fell into the water and was washed away by it.

In order to let everyone have enough dry food to eat, she took out many wild vegetables and stuffed them into dry food bags without telling everyone. Gradually, she couldn't hold on. The head nurse found out and everyone knew the truth. They gave her some dry food one after another, which made her feel the warmth of home.
