Chapter 11 Eleven and the Horse

Ma was captured by the Japanese, and the soul of Ma's uprising flew away. After returning to the station, Ma rebelled, locked himself in the room, pulled the quilt over his head and face, and covered himself.Seeing the head of the regiment like this, the members of the independent regiment all bowed their heads and were depressed.The ambush, which was originally designed seamlessly, did not expect such a result.The loss of the independent regiment was two sacrifices and five injuries. Most importantly, the bay red horse of the regiment leader was captured by the enemy. The head of the group locked himself in the room, and everyone understood very well.When they walked past the head's room, everyone took their steps lightly, fearing that their own carelessness would arouse the head's sadness.In the past, when the battle was not going well, the head of the regiment would do the same. He reflected painfully for a while, thought about it, got out of the quilt, and practiced the team again yelling.This time, Captain Ma is an exception.

When eating, Zhao Dadao took the food back and put it on the bedside of the head of the group.Seeing that the head of the group didn't intend to get up, he shouted: Head, people are iron and rice is steel, eat it. The group leader heard it this time, he lifted the quilt and yelled at Zhao Dadao: I don't want to eat, and I don't have the mood to eat.After speaking, he put the quilt on again. The appearance of the head of the group startled Zhao Dadao. The head's eyes were red and his face was blue, as if he was drunk.The time with the leader is not too short, he has never seen the leader like this.Zhao Dadao stood there, glanced at the food on the bedside, and then at the head of the regiment who was covered with a quilt, as if he didn't know what to do.When the rice was cold, Zhao Dadao took it back and warmed it up, and then it got cold again.The head of the group has not eaten for three consecutive meals.

Political commissar Li went out in person. The political commissar walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Old horse, the battle was not fought well. You can't blame you for this. If you want to blame, it's our inaccurate information. This time the ambush was not successful. Let's do it again next time." Have the opportunity. Ma Qiyi lay there with his eyes closed, as if he didn't want to eat oil or salt.Everyone talked for a while, and then talked again, thinking that Captain Ma had listened to what he should hear, so they left one after another.Only Zhao Dadao was left, he was the head's bodyguard, and he would not leave at this time.

An oil lamp illuminated the two persons in the room.When the last lamp oil was burned out, the moon outside the window leaked into the house, and the scenery was gray. Zhao Dadao lay down on another bed.He was not at all comfortable lying down, his whole body was tight and uncomfortable.Just as he fell asleep awkwardly, Tuan Zhang suddenly sat up, and said: Dadao, listen, the horse is back. Zhao Dadao woke up.Tuanzhang Ma also jumped off the bed, and ran out with his shoes on. Zhao Dadao also ran out in a daze. Under the moonlight, everything is hazy, and there is no shadow of the horse.

Zhao Dadao got up and looked at the head of the group by the moonlight.There were tears on the head's face, which reminded him of Lianzhang Li and Yu San, and his heart ached, and then ached.The head of the regiment has long regarded that horse as his comrade-in-arms, and the comrade-in-arms has been captured, and the head of the regiment is uneasy. He understood why the regiment leader was so sad. He wanted to comfort the regiment leader, so he said: It's just a horse, and I don't want it. If the devil captures it, it can't do anything, just work and carry something. The team leader's tears came down again, and fell on the quilt "plop-plop-plop".Zhao Dadao on the side heard it clearly.

Captain Ma sighed, and sighed again. The leader is his god, if the leader is not happy, how can he be happy.He sat on a soil bag and thought hard, and after much deliberation, he thought of Zhao Guo.The person who tied the bell was needed to untie the bell. If the regiment leader hadn't wanted to save Zhao Guo, he wouldn't have rushed out single-handedly, and he wouldn't have lost his horse. Thinking of this, he walked towards the campus of the Anti-Japanese University.Troops and schools are stationed in the village together. Zhao Dadao inquired for a long time before finding Zhao Guo in a family's yard.Zhao Guo was sitting on a stone roller to write the inspection.I don't know how many beginnings I have written for the inspection, and she is suffering from writing the inspection.Seeing Zhao Dadao walking in, he shouted as if seeing a savior.

Zhao Dadao stood in front of her with a pale face. Zhao Guo felt aggrieved as soon as he saw Zhao Dadao, with tears in his eyes. When Zhao Dadao saw Zhao Guo's appearance, his heart softened, and his anger turned into wisps of suffocation, which came out of his nostrils one by one. Zhao Guo lowered his head and said with a choked voice, "Brother Dao, I violated discipline. It's all my fault. The devil took away Captain Ma's horse." Zhao Dadao put a hand on Zhao Guo's shoulder, Zhao Guo seemed to have found support, and threw himself into his arms, crying "Wow".This was the first time she had suffered such a blow since she joined the revolution.She originally wanted to express herself, but she never thought about it, but in exchange for such a result.

Zhao Guo cried for a while, but was stopped by Zhao Dadao, who hardened his heart: Sister, don't cry, someone is more sad than you. Zhao Guo stared blankly at Zhao Dadao with teary eyes. The captain's horse was lost, and he hadn't eaten for two days.You have to apologize to the leader and let him eat.People are iron, rice is steel. Zhao Guo wiped away tears, and asked seriously: If I go, will he be willing to eat? Maybe.Zhao Dadao was not very sure. That day's lunch was brought in by Zhao Guo. Head Ma thought it was Zhao Dadao pestering him to eat again, so he waved his hand: How many times have I told you, I can't eat.Don't eat it, take it back!

Zhao Guo just stood there at a loss. Head Ma suddenly raised his head and saw Zhao Guo, his eyes straightened. He didn't expect Zhao Guo to stand in front of him. Zhao Guo said without losing the opportunity: Leader, I was wrong. These words were like a cannonball, and the "boom" blasted the knot in the heart of Tuanzhang Ma.He stared at Zhao Guo dumbfounded.This time it was his turn to not know what to do, he got out of bed, stood in front of Zhao Guo, and said in a loud voice: You, why are you here? Commander, just eat something.It's all my fault that made you lose your horse.If you don't eat, you won't forgive me.

Speaking of this, Zhao Guo's tears flowed down. Ma Uprising is hard-hearted, and he can't stand it now.He took the rice bowl from Zhao Guo's hand, and said with a choked voice: I will eat, I will eat. Ma Qiyi started to gobble it up in front of Zhao Guo, and all the unhappiness and depression before seemed to disappear. The mood of Captain Ma directly affects the spirit of every soldier in the Independence Regiment.Now, the head of the regiment had eaten, and he was devouring it. As soon as Zhao Dadao announced the news, the independent regiment erupted in excitement.The spirits of the officers and soldiers returned to their previous state.

The head of the regiment also seems to have stepped out of the emotional haze, and the next step is to train, inspect the troops, and research the development of the base.But when he was left alone, he would often be in a daze, sometimes staring at the hitching post in front of the door, in a daze.The hitching post was empty, and bits and pieces of hay were still strewn across the clearing.He seemed to see the bay red horse again, looking at him with open eyes, and his heart ached.He raised his head abruptly, looking at the sky, not letting his tears fall. During the days when the head of the regiment lost his horse, Zhao Dadao stopped riding a horse.Every time the head of the regiment went out to do errands, he led the horse and followed behind.At the beginning, he persuaded the head of the regiment: "Leader, let's go on horseback."This horse is not as good as yours, but it is a good horse. Ma Qiyi glared at him and hurried forward.Zhao Dadao knew that the head of the group was unhappy, so he stopped talking, led the horse, and chased the head in three steps. Every night before going to bed, the head of the regiment would say a few words about Ma.Lying on the bed, talking to himself in the dark with his eyes open, he seemed to say to Zhao Dadao: Humans are sometimes worse than a horse. After speaking, he sighed.Now Zhao Dadao is more sensitive than Ma Uprising when he hears the word horse. He dare not speak too much for fear of making the head of the group feel bad, so he only responds in a low voice.I have been with the leader for a long time, and I know the emotions of the leader very well, when to say it, and when not to say it, and I am very precise.At this time, Zhao Dadao, who didn't dare to say more, fell into a deep sleep after only a while. In the middle of the night, the regiment leader suddenly yelled in his dream and sat up abruptly. Zhao Dadao also woke up. I don't know what happened. His first reaction was to grab the knife next to him, and he stood on the ground all of a sudden, calling out: Commander, what's the matter? The group was sweating profusely, with their mouths open, panting desperately for a while, and said: "The horse, the horse was cut by the Japanese." It was still a horse, and the leader dreamed of a horse again. Zhao Dadao sighed helplessly. The head of Ma, who was completely awake, suddenly made up his mind and said: I want to attack the county and take my horse back. The Ma uprising's plan to attack the county seat was opposed by political commissar Li and three battalion commanders.The reason is that there are heavy Japanese soldiers stationed in the county, and the Japanese are already strong and strong, let alone one independent regiment, even three may not be able to win.Moreover, it is not necessary to take down the county seat or not from a strategic point of view.The current task of the independent regiment is guerrilla warfare, to contain the enemy, and then open up base areas behind the enemy. Leader Ma's proposal was opposed by everyone, so he blushed and yelled thickly: "Then I will take Zhao Dadao, and it has nothing to do with the independent group." Then, he stared at Zhao Dadao firmly and said: Dadao, are you afraid of death? The blood all over Zhao Dadao was ignited with a "hula". He couldn't tell the east from the west and said, "What did the regiment commander say? As long as you give an order, I, Zhao Dadao, hesitate, and I am not your soldier." Apparently, Ma Tuan Zhang's proposal met with strong opposition again. Now he represents not one person, but an independent group.He left alone, in case something happened, it would be the loss of the independent regiment.Although Zhao Dadao was willing to go through life and death with the head of the horse to get back the head of the horse; but Zhao Dadao who calmed down also felt that the head should not let the head do it himself.If you want to go, you can only do it yourself. When he set off, he left quietly, without even telling the commander. During the two days, Ma Uprising came through suffering. He was out of his mind, neither sat nor stood, and stretched his neck to look around again and again.The horse and Zhao Dadao are his right-hand men, losing the bay red horse made him paralyzed half of his body, and now losing Zhao Dadao, the whole person is almost finished.He felt that not only had he lost his feet, but now he also lost his hands.He secretly made up his mind that if Zhao Dadao didn't come back tonight, he would go into the county alone. At dusk the next day, the head of the regiment heard the familiar sound of hooves, which were the hooves of a bay red horse.As soon as Ma Qiyi heard this familiar sound, every pore on his body suddenly twitched, and he felt chills.He stumbled and ran into the courtyard, and saw people running towards him like horses flying on the dirt road outside the courtyard. Zhao Dadao approached, stretched out his hand to rein in the reins, jumped off the horse, and yelled: Captain, the horse is back. He thought that the head of the group would rush to the bay red horse, but he didn't expect that the head of the group hugged him with a "wow", and then the head of the group gritted his teeth and said, "Gou Ri's big knife, you are back." Ma Uprising was already in tears at this time.Zhao Dadao was still a little unaccustomed to being hugged by the leader, shyly twisted his body in the leader's arms, and stammered: Leader, you, this------ The regiment leader let him go, took a step back, looked at Zhao Dadao up and down with tears in his eyes, then rushed up, punched him and said: "You boy, you are worthy of being a member of the Red Army. Good job." It wasn't until this time that Ma Uprising took the time to look at his bay red horse. In a flash, Ma Uprising and Claret Ma have been separated for more than ten days.The man and the horse just looked at each other, as if they were looking at each other, and they seemed to be testing each other. The horse has lost weight, has grown hair, and looks tired.The horse looked at its owner and found that the owner was also thinner and darker.So, he raised his head and let out a loud cry, which brought the Ma Uprising back to the glorious years with the horse.His eyes were wet again, and he took a step forward, put his arms around the horse's neck, and called out: Man, you are back. Under the caress of the owner, the horse barked twice more.In the end, Ma Uprising patted the horse's neck and said: Dude, I almost lost my sword because of you. Zhao Dadao stood aside, watching this exciting scene, tears almost flowed down his face.The people who heard the news were also moved by the scene in front of them.
