Chapter 12 Chapter 10 Flash Floods

one Qin Zhen asked to organize a capable front-line headquarters, visit the battlefield in person, and directly control the troops.He's a guy who likes to run when he's in a fight.Dong Tiannian was familiar with this characteristic, so he said, "You still have a bad temper!" Qin Zhen laughed, and Dong Tiannian agreed to him.The command post organized by Qin Zhen, that is, a small jeep and two medium jeeps (one is a radio station and the other is a guard soldier), left the Corps headquarters near Xiangyang and walked along the winding road beside the Han River. Fast forward.Qin Zhen saw that wherever he passed, the roadsides were all gray and bare hillsides, and countless sharp gray stones were exposed in the barren land. Not to mention no trees, even grass did not grow: "Ah! West Hubei is really a desolate place!" Even the roads often protrude from rocks, so the car bumped and bumped on the rough road, and after watching for a while, he closed his eyes until he pressed his knees On the military map above his head.

The strong sunshine announced the beginning of the hot summer season.The flying jeep whirled up white dust, and the wind not only did not have a trace of coolness, but a gust of hot air.Three streams of dust were thrown up by the three vehicles, flying up into the sky like a whirlwind. The white dust swirled rapidly. The vehicles were wrapped in the dust and flew forward at high speed.From morning to noon, it gets hotter and hotter.Qin Zhen's rosy cheeks spread all the way to his neck, which was red.After stopping the car for lunch, he drank a cold water from the military kettle as soon as he lifted his neck, and immediately felt cool and happy, so he became lively again.With sharp eyes, he saw a small bird standing on a rock not far away. The bird kept turning its neck and chirping, which immediately aroused Qin Zhen's interest in hunting, and he snatched it from the guard Xiao Chen. A carbine, put the two-hour support on the water tank cover of the jeep and raise the gun, close your left eye, squint your eyes, there is a clear gunshot, the bird flapped its wings for a while and stopped moving, he ran In the past, picked up the little bird and ran back, jumping up for joy:

"Xiao Chen! How about my marksmanship?" Xiao Chen replied mischievously: "I see, you don't violate major disciplines, but keep minor disciplines!" Qin Zhen and the people around burst into laughter. Qin Zhen patted his forehead and said: "I will just sit on the bench in the headquarters." He swung his arms in a circle towards the sky and the earth. "It's free here..." Suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Is there a report?" The communication fighters who received the report while eating, their backs were wet and black, sitting around the erected antenna of the medium-sized jeep, some were receiving and some were translating, and they were very busy.

Qin Zhen threw the carbine, which was shining blue in the sun, at the guards, and strode towards the radio car by himself. The keys of the radio station are ringing briskly, as beautiful as a piece of music. Corps headquarters telegram: "Qin Ling (XXX army code name) has arrived at the designated location." Qin Zhen said to himself: "Okay, Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang arrived in time." He dictates: "Do you have any instructions from the headquarters for my actions?" "Immediately go to the Qinling Mountains to convey the combat order and prepare for the main attack mission."

"Okay, report to the commander, I will execute it immediately." Immediately, he called several section chiefs and staff officers of the combat department to unfold the military map on the water tank cover of the jeep, and everyone gathered together, all eyes fixed on the map.Qin Zhen raised his right hand, holding a red and blue pencil, and searched carefully on the map. "it's here!" "On the edge of the lake!" Found it, this is a small town by the lake.Frowning, he drew a circle there with a red pencil and tapped the tank lid.He thought for a moment:

——How about Liang Shuguang's mother? ——Is there any new trace of Bai Jie? He immediately waved his hand in front of his face, repeating Dong Tiannian's meaningful words: "Forget it, Xiao Qin, forget it!..." At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was the commander who was in charge of his politics for one day in Fancheng. what about work! "This old man is so smart and witty!" Thinking about it, he burst out laughing.Yes, when it comes to combat, you have to concentrate all your energy on combat, and the military situation is like fire, how can you be distracted.His long-cherished wish was to win the first battle in the south, and his heart suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped an accurate and bright point from thousands of thoughts, yes! "Win the first battle going south" is such a good mobilization slogan.He immediately decided to put forward this resounding slogan in the front-line combat troops. It not only reflects the commanding intentions of the leaders, but also reflects the wishes of thousands of soldiers.Yes, let this slogan ring out across the line of fire and lead the charge!

The three jeeps changed direction and plunged eastward. In this way, we left the barren hills protruding from the gray-white prismatic rocks, and gradually entered the water network area under the shade of bamboo and trees.When Qin Zhen smelled the cool breath of the lake from the wind, the setting sun had gathered the red light from the earth, and cast a misty dusk from the sky.They came to an old town.This kind of ancient villages and towns in the south is charming. Most of them are built on the shore of the lake, and the winding streets are paved with bluestone slabs.Houses on both sides of the road, black or yellow door frames and window couches are carved with patterns, and the walls are made of blue bricks.The roof is not like in the north, because of the strong wind, it has to be fixed with mud. Here, one tile is pressed against the other and floated on a single pendulum. Wherever the rain leaks, just poke it with a bamboo pole from the house.From a distance, the two rows of roof ridges on the street look like two winding green dragons, and those tiles are really like scales, as if they can be scraped off with a knife.Because the village is close to the lake and is very old, it is gloomy, damp, muddy and lonely.However, as soon as the town was approaching, it felt so lively that Qin Zhen had to get down and walk.Ha, as soon as he entered the town, he was struck by a strange sight.It turned out that under the low eaves on both sides of the winding long street, there was a bustling crowd full of soldiers making dumplings.The soldiers were smiling and talking loudly, while making dumplings carefully. It was almost like a dumpling-making competition, which made Qin Zhen laugh uncontrollably.Suddenly, Mou Chunguang jumped out from nowhere. He was short and thick, with a loud voice, and shouted at Qin Zhen:

"Chief! - Eat dumplings!" "Good guy, I brought all your precious dumplings to the south, I'm drooling!" Led by Mou Chunguang, his entire class rushed to invite: "Commander! Come back to us and eat dumplings!" "I have a big belly, don't blame me for tightening your belts when you march later." Amidst the roar of laughter, Mou Chunguang jumped up and shouted: "One word from a gentleman, four horses are hard to chase, whether you will come or not, let's make a deal with one word!" Not to mention dumplings, a glass of boiling water in the soldier's hand also contains infinite affection!Qin Zhen squeezed out from the crowd and agreed:

"I'm determined to eat your dumplings." Mou Chunguang secretly took it out of his pocket, but he didn't know what he took out, and whispered: "There are also garlic cloves brought from the Northeast!" A soldier stabbed Mou Chunguang from the side, and whispered: "The chief eats a small stove..." Mou Chunguang intentionally shouted loudly: "Eating dumplings is not a small stove..." As Qin Zhen talked, he walked towards the division headquarters, which was the closest to the military headquarters. After he got in touch with the military through the radio, He Chang and Hou Deyao suggested holding a meeting in this town.The military department notified all the division commanders to come here to participate in the military meeting.Thousands of army and division commanders came out to welcome them. He Chang was short and stocky, but he had a fat head and big ears, and his two big eyes were shining brightly. At first glance, he gave the impression of a piece of granite; Hou Deyao looked like a frail scholar, thin and thin. There is always a kind smile on his face, eyes and mouth.When the two of them saw Qin Zhen, they reacted differently.He Chang immediately inquired urgently: "Is the main attack mission set?" Hou Deyao saw the commander of the corps coming in person at this moment, he understood what was going on, he just smiled and didn't say anything.Qin Zhen glanced at He Chang, but didn't answer, but reached out his hands to shake hands one by one, and then everyone surrounded Qin Zhen inside.This is a large courtyard with two courtyards, covered by high wind and fire walls, making it even more gloomy. Even though it is daytime, lanterns have to be lit in the hall.Although there are two lanterns hanging now, it is just a misty scene.Qin Zhen came in and took a look. The house was tall and magnificent, and the window lattices were exquisitely carved and exquisitely carved, which was even more extraordinary. After asking, it turned out that it was a big name selling salt.There is a red-painted Eight Immortals table on the ground in the room, with a kettle and a dozen enamel tea mugs on it.Qin Zhen was put on top of the table and sat down on a grand chair. He immediately waved his hand and ordered the things on the table to be removed. Then he took the military map from Staff Officer Huang and spread it on the table with a flick of his hand.Qin Zhen glanced at everyone with witty and majestic eyes, and the first sentence was:

"You guys have caught up with the fun!" There were question marks hanging in everyone's hearts, but when Qin Zhen opened his mouth, they became completely silent.He then briefly and specifically explained the mission, and immediately declared that the enemy is attacking me, and you may not have much rest.Army commander He Chang said in a loud voice: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover..." Hou Deyao said: "On the march, I did ideological mobilization." After some discussions, several battle plans were decided, and Qin Zhen Say: "Although the situation is tight, you have traveled a long distance, hurry up, the first thing is to let the soldiers sleep well, eat well, and go into battle with full energy."

At the end of the meeting, the leaders of the army led other division cadres to leave one after another. When it got dark, guard Xiao Chen came in and reported to Qin Zhen: "The second class invites the chief to eat dumplings!" Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang quickly said: "The meal is ready, I just caught some fresh fish from the lake..." "You guys eat, people have their words first, I can't break the appointment!" He said and walked out. On the way back to the division headquarters, he bowed his head and pondered while walking.When he saw Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang, he said: "Contact the radio station of the Corps Command immediately!" Chen Wenhong ran out immediately. Qin Zhen walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back, and when Chen Wenhong reported that he had been contacted, he immediately followed Chen Wenhong to the radio station. The radio here is always very serious and tense. He went up to the operator and dictated a telegram: "Will Liang Shuguang lead a group of people to detour through the waterway and rush into Shashi as decided by the Corps Party Committee, will it be implemented immediately?" He stood there without moving.Watching the telegraph operator deftly twitching his fingers to send the telegram, he still stood there without moving.At this time, all his attention was focused on this point, and he was eagerly waiting for a reply. If this move was decided and Shashi made arrangements, he could let go of his hands and feet from the front, wave his troops south, and beat him vigorously. battle. Soon the telegram came: "Waiting for deployment and implementation." Qin Zhen turned and walked towards the hall. He stood still in front of the red-lacquered Eight Immortals table, with Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang standing opposite him.At this moment, at this moment, he took a closer look at these two people.For a split second he was satisfied, he was grateful to them, and no one asked personal questions. "Yes, forget about it..." But can you forget it?He kept avoiding Chen Wenhong's gaze, but glanced at Liang Shuguang with his eyes. "Have you found the old mother?" "Not yet, it's been transferred to the lake." "Lake! Which lake?" There are green lakes and swamps everywhere here, where can I find them? Liang Shuguang said calmly: "Let's talk about it after the war!" The meaning is obvious: "Let's put aside personal matters for the time being!" Qin Zhen nodded approvingly.Turning around at once, he even said to Chen Wenhong a little harshly: "A call from the military department!" Chen Wenhong walked to the leather bag phone hanging on the wall, and shook it several times quickly: "Qin Ling! Qin Ling, are you Qin Ling? Deputy Commander Qin of the Corps asked the political commissar to be obedient." Qin Zhen took the phone headset: "I'm Qin Zhen, you guys are deploying, okay, okay, this operation has to put forward a resounding slogan... um, um, what did you say?" He shrugged and lowered his shoulders, and shouted loudly: "Let's think about going together, yes, to win the first battle in the south - this slogan is good, it reflects the wishes of millions of people, who doesn't hold back their energy and wants to fight hard. Just now the second class invited me Eating dumplings, I fell into their trap. It turned out that they wanted to fight: Seeing the success of the East China front line, they are jealous and eager to win. The hearts of soldiers are hard to buy. They demand that they must fight this battle. Okay, win The first battle in the south, haha! You are really Zhuge Liang, since you have a good plan, the right to invent this slogan belongs to you, you can do it according to your idea, I wish you victory!" Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang stood there straight with their heads held high and their bodies full of strength, as if to say: "If you don't fight the battle to the south, you will die in peace." Qin Zhen laughed, pulled them to sit down, and said quickly: "Let's It’s one thing.” Chen Wenhong found out what happened on the radio just now, so he didn’t make a sound.Qin Zhen glanced at him, which meant "you have your mission".Then he turned his face to Liang Shuguang and told him a task of acting alone.Liang Shuguang's face turned red, he didn't expect this gentle and elegant person to become so stubborn, he stopped his neck: "Chief! Let me go into the lake, this is to take care of me personally..." He almost shed tears. "Where did you go? This was a mission given by the leader of the field army when we set off from Wuhan. It was discussed and decided by the Party Committee of the Corps. At that time, it was assumed that you had found your mother. You see: first, you rushed forward from the lake and tried every means possible. To prevent the enemy from blowing up the Shashi embankment, as long as we keep the embankment, we will have no worries. Second, Shashi is a textile industrial city. In order to prevent the enemy from destroying the economic construction, you should enter first and do a good job in military management. Do you think this task is enough? Old Liang! Why are you so confused? Am I just thinking about your personal affairs? Besides, it’s not your personal affairs. You only think of her as your mother, no, no, she is a good mother of the Chinese people I won't talk about this matter with you, I will talk about it later. You know, the Yangtze River jets out from the Three Gorges, and it is as powerful as a thousand pounds. If the enemy really takes the risk, and even the three towns of Wuhan are not safe, why do you see it so clearly? A little bit? You are still a political commissar!" Qin Zhen seemed to be really angry, Chen Wenhong quickly gave Liang Shuguang a wink, and Liang Shuguang put both feet together: "I understand, and if we resolutely implement it, we will not hesitate to do so." This change made Qin Zhen feel relieved. He walked over and put his hand on Liang Shuguang's shoulder: "To be honest, Old Liang! When I made this decision, I didn't think about your old mother, but now that you mentioned it, I do think about it." Liang Shuguang didn't want to talk about his mother at the moment, but Qin Zhen insisted on entanglement, and he said again with a bright eye: "If you walk through the lake, you may also see the old mother." "Not necessarily so." Qin Zhen thought for a while and said to Chen Wenhong: "Call Yan Sulai!" Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. As the door was pushed open, a female warrior saluted and stood in the center of the hall.Her slender body and facial expressions are so lean and sassy.Her clothes were already stained with muddy water due to marching in the water network area, but somehow she still made people feel so clean and tidy. She said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yan Su came here on orders." Qin Zhen wanted to break the serious atmosphere just now, so he smiled and shook hands with her. "Haha, how about our female scientists, as you say in Heilongjiang, it's 'sufficient'?" "I'm not a scientist, I'm a field army doctor." "I said Yan Su, medicine is the most important science. I think science in the world has not yet reached its peak. Think about it, people are still in a state of ignorance about their own birth, aging, illness and death, but they have created so many things that hurt people and kill people." What about atomic bombs, germ warfare, that can’t be called science, that’s stupid! But, I’m not arguing with you now, you have to go to Hudang with Political Commissar Liang to perform a mission. His dying old mother is now in the lake In Dangli, the mother is looking forward to seeing her son, but Political Commissar Liang is going to carry out a dangerous mission. The enemy threatened to leave a hundred thousand guerrillas in the lakes north of the Yangtze River. Revolutionary bases, engage in guerrilla warfare with us. Look at your courage! You are a small commando team ready to fight, and you are needed as an ambulance. Besides, I think, if I can see my old mother in the lake, what will she do for her? The revolution has gone through hardships, you go to check the elderly, we juniors have done our best!" Yan Su turned his eyes to Liang Shuguang. Liang Shuguang murmured: "The field troops need more..." Her face suddenly turned red.However, this bright girl quickly restrained herself, fixed her eyes on Qin Zhen and remained silent, as if to say: "I obey the organization's orders in everything." Qin Zhen said: "There are quite a few of her in the field hospital. Besides, you may also have to fight in the lake. I think it's settled like this. Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Qin Zhen's every word spoke to Chen Wenhong's heart, and he immediately agreed: "I completely agree." "You make the decision and I'll make the case. However, Comrade Master! Tomorrow my mansion will be in my little jeep. Today, you have to prepare a bed for me so that I can have a good night's sleep!" As he said that, he took quick small steps and walked out with the guard Xiao Chen. three Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang immediately asked the Chief of Operations for the military map from here to Shashi, and spread it on the table.Chen Wenhong reached out to take down the lantern and held it up to look at it.The map is full of crooked galaxies and densely packed lakes.He stretched his thumb and index finger apart, took a rough measurement on the picture, frowned secretly, and said to himself: "This waterway is not easy!" Liang Shuguang laughed instead: "I grew up by this lake, am I still afraid that the lake will fail?" "I think it's okay to invite Tianzhu to come and discuss along the way?" Liang Shuguang nodded. Chen Wenhong immediately sent someone to look for it, and soon there was a sound of "gudonggudong" footsteps outside the door, and it was Liang Tianzhu who came in.As soon as Shuguang said it, Tianzhu laughed first, and said, "I can think of going together! I originally wanted Shuguang to act with the army, so I went to make a foray by myself first, so as to get in touch with the party organization here. I'm planning on this matter. It would be better if Shuguang is going now..." Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang were overjoyed by what he said, and they quickly said, "Let's discuss it together!" According to Liang Tianzhu, when he arrived Shashi is connected with lakes and swamps all the way, twists and turns, it is very difficult to walk, the largest is Changhu.Bai Chongxi's troops withdrew from Wuhan, and indeed deployed a large number of guerrillas in the swampy area from Echeng in the east, Honghu Lake in the south, Changjiang Port in the north, and Changhu Lake in the west. Taking an official title does not have much strength. Liang Shuguang slowly touched the stubble on his chin with one hand and said: "It shouldn't be underestimated either. Once our Western Hubei offensive begins, they will also support it on the water." Chen Wenhong said: "Send a reinforced platoon with two mortars!" "Don't weaken the strength of the frontal decisive battle." "But……" But what?Chen Wenhong didn't say anything, but he thought to himself: "Who should be assigned to this mission?" After a while of thinking, he decided to send the most capable, witty, and bravest combat hero in the division, Company Commander Shi Baolin.As soon as he spoke, Liang Shuguang immediately objected: "In any case, it can't affect the operation. I think it's enough for me to bring a platoon leader." "No, this is a military mission, and it's also a political mission, you see!" He moved his fingers: "First, you are not allowed to blow up the river embankment. Second, prevent damage to the city. Third, do a good job in taking over the work. Fourth, you may be attacked by the enemy when you cross the lake. Old Liang, Shi Baolin not only Brave and very intelligent, you command the overall situation, but you also need a right-hand man. In these four aspects, Shi Baoling can win, don’t argue, it’s settled like this!” Chen Wenhong stopped listening to Liang Shuguang, and ordered the Chief of the Operations Section to transfer Shi Baolin. Liang Tianzhu said that he would go out with the party organization again. This was an empty space. Chen Wenhong had something to say in his heart, so he sat shoulder to shoulder with Liang Shuguang and said cordially: "You have your concerns, and I have mine. Once the war is fought, you will forget everything. However, this time you are in trouble, you must find your mother carefully, and take care of me when you meet..." "I'm afraid I won't be able to look for it!" "I think, this task is assigned to Liang Tianzhu." Liang Shuguang nodded, he hesitated to say something. Chen Wenhong said: "You can rest assured about the family affairs. Deputy Commander Qin supervises the battle, and Guanbao will fight a beautiful battle..." "It's not this." Liang Shuguang lowered his head, dipped his finger in the tea water and scratched it on the table, and finally raised his head and said: "Old Chen! You are the one who makes up your mind, I shouldn't disturb you." "What? Is there anything else to worry about?" Liang Shuguang became anxious and said: "It's not about that, I said Bai Jie should not let go if she grasps this line!" Chen Wenhong frowned in pain, his eyes flashed a decisive glance: "If you can't win a battle, you can't say anything!" Chen Wenhong stood up, Liang Shuguang also stood up, the two were still very close, Liang Shuguang obviously thought carefully, and said what he wanted to say: "Old Chen! I won't push you to send Shi Baolin, but I also have one thing I want you to agree to." Chen Wenhong was taken aback: "Say it!" "I've thought about it carefully, Tianzhu will go with you. The Wuhan party organization sent him to secretly deliver arms and ammunition. He has contacted the guerrillas in the south of the Yangtze River. If someone comes from there, he can connect. Besides, the area in western Hubei is familiar. It is also convenient for him to lead the way." Chen Wenhong wanted to disagree, but he was stopped by Liang Shuguang's sincere, moving, unwavering and considerate expression that only an elder brother can have. Still, he said: "Is it okay to prevent Tianzhu from seeing his mother?" "There are still many opportunities for him to meet in Hubei, and at the same time, he may not necessarily be in trouble..." "Not necessarily what?" "The person sent by the party organization to the old man has not come back. Obviously, the lake is very chaotic, and it is likely to be impossible to see." "According to this situation, you should proceed with caution." "I must pay attention, that's what happened with Tianzhu." The two of them held hands together, feeling a little excited. At this moment, a figure came in from the door, and it was Yan Su.She was fully equipped, with a backpack in her hand, a green canvas bag and a medicine box marked with a red cross. She hurried in, like a gust of wind, her whole body was clean and joyful. Chen Wenhong said with a smile: "It's a girl from Northeast China, so fast!" She shook her head, and flicked her black hair: "Deputy Commander Qin called me again and told me to bring a few more medicines, isn't it!" She patted the medicine chest, looking smug at the instruction of the High Command.Suddenly she turned around to look for something: "Why, the slob Xiao Song hasn't come yet?" Xiao Song is the bodyguard of the political commissar, he muttered sleepily in a dark corner: "Doctor Yan! You have such a powerful mouth!" "Hey! Knife mouth, tofu heart." She laughed first herself. While talking, Liang Tianzhu also hurried in with a comrade from the party organization. He introduced that this comrade was called "Old Lu". Liang Shuguang pulled Liang Tianzhu aside and talked for a while, only to hear Liang Tianzhu say in a low voice: "That's it, starting from Wuhan, the organization asked me to take the journey from the north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River, that's it! With Mr. Chen, Lao Lu with you!" Liang Tianzhu was so open and forthright.After finishing speaking, Liang Tianzhu and Lao Lu went out to arrange again. The combat section chief brought Shi Baolin in. Shi Baolin was a taciturn person, and sat beside him after saluting.The light illuminated him. There were a pair of big eyes on his thin face, and his eyes were silent. His shoulders were broad, his waist was thin, and his two long hands rested on the submachine gun. His whole body was strong and strong.Therefore, Chen Wenhong, Liang Shuguang, the Chief of Operations Section, and Shi Baolin gathered around the square table to study the marching combat plan.Shi Baolin remained silent all the time, only when discussing the departure time, he said firmly: "I think the sooner you leave the town, the better. There are many people in this town. There may be spies from the Lake Bandits. It's easy to keep secrets at night. Find a river branch to hide, and wait until dawn to go into the lake, and you won't be afraid that the terrain in the lake will be complicated." Liang Shuguang nodded again and again and said: "This is a plan that has the best of both worlds. Don't let the wind leak out when the people don't move. It's better to take advantage of the unpreparedness and suddenly appear. The initiative is mine." Chen Wenhong turned around and asked Shi Baolin, "Has the team assembled yet?" "Already on board." Chen Wenhong deeply felt that the appointment was appropriate, nodded to Shi Baolin, then exchanged glances with Liang Shuguang, and said, "Act immediately!" So under the cover of thick water mist and pitch-black night, a fleet left the shore quietly. Standing quietly by the lake, Chen Wenhong heard the gurgling sound of rowing boats gradually disappearing, and he was still watching and listening calmly. Four dawn. It was a dawn that foreshadowed a very hot day. It is a dawn that beckons storms, It was an earth-shattering dawn. Qin Zhen and his party of three jeeps drove to the foot of a hill and stopped. The radio station was busy communicating with the Corps Headquarters and various front-line troops.Qin Zhen and the few people around him were looking at their watches.At this time, the field was completely silent, there was not even a sound, and everyone could only hear the slight beating of the hands of the clock—there was no such sound, but there was indeed such a feeling in people's consciousness.The radio station has already contacted the troops on the front line. Over there, in the valley, in the bamboo grove, on the shore of the lake, and in the cottages, there are radio operators sitting in front of the radio station, waiting with bated breath for the moment of decision.Qin Zhen made the last contact with the Corps, knowing that his determination was firm, so he didn't think about anything, didn't ask anything, his heart seemed to freeze, but he trembled slightly, what's going on?He has commanded countless large-scale battles. For some reason, he felt that this time was particularly solemn, so he was a little nervous, but he finally made himself stand tall in excitement. , with sharp eyes and mighty power, he shot a loud arrow violently, and with this signal, an overwhelming war was about to break out suddenly.When he saw the last jump of the second hand, he didn't look at anyone, but he did say to everyone: "Forward! Start fighting!" Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked towards the top of the mountain along the slope with a slight slope.The grass was knee-deep, and the dew on the grass was so thick, he took a big breath, waded through the grass, his pants were soon wet to his knees, and he could see how stuffy the dawn was from the coolness of the water .He was very leisurely, walked to the top of the mountain and stood down, as if enjoying the southern morning scenery, and couldn't help being intoxicated by it.Looking down from the mountain, there are green and lush everywhere, some are rice fields, some are grasslands, and some are lakes and swamps.When the light of dawn suddenly illuminated all of this, the first ray of light seemed to tremble and tremble from the depths of the sky, like the smile of a young girl flashing out of a dream.Sometimes there is no wind at all in the air, and occasionally there is a gust of wind, but this wind is not refreshing at all, it is a bit sticky.Then, at the moment when the girl's smile passed by, white mist evaporated from the canyon, from the lake, and from the bamboo bushes, and rose upwards. This is a clever interweaving change of nature. Come a bright morning, and the fog wants to cover this bright morning.Standing on the top of the hill, Qin Zhen smelled the mixture of Artemisia annua, dew, and heavy fog, which seemed to be a strong smell of soot.In an instant, a thick fog filled the sky, and he saw a figure moving rapidly through the fog, and the troops were passing by down the mountain. First, Mou Chunguang and his comrades in the class discovered him. As soon as they saw him, they quickened their pace and rushed forward. Soon, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Chen Wenhong led a small group of cavalry, probably catching up from behind, trying to overtake the troops and rush to the front.Chen Wenhong knew Qin Zhen was here as soon as he saw the three jeeps.He immediately whipped the horses, and the horses flashed out of the fog and disappeared in the fog like a gust of wind. After a while, the artillery unit came up, and it happened that the fog was very thick. I didn't see anything at first, but heard a heavy rumbling sound. Then, horses pulled green cannons and appeared out of the fog.The wheels bumped on the rough road, and the barrel vibrated in the air.On a carriage loaded with ammunition, there was a man with a helmet on his head in a blink of an eye, very majestic, flying past, this was Yue Dazhuang.This strong and shy warrior seemed to have caught a glimpse of Qin Zhen on the top of the mountain. Qin Zhen neither saw Mou Chunguang, Chen Wenhong, nor Yue Dazhuang, but all the troops rushing forward from the foot of the mountain saw Deputy Commander Qin of the Corps, standing upright on the top of the mountain, holding up the binoculars, concentrating Watching intently.The wind accidentally blew up and down the hem of the windbreaker draped over the shoulders. The sun penetrated the thick fog, and the fog gradually thinned.Qin Zhen's vision became wider and clearer.Through the binoculars, he saw countless marching ranks here and there on the ground, like winding and floating dragons.Since the Liaoshen Campaign, he has not experienced the thrill of being on the battlefield and witnessing the advance of Daping for a long time.His eyes are bright, and the corners of his mouth are smiling. He feels that there is no cheering or shouting here, but in the silent movement, there is an invisible and intangible magical power that is stronger than anything else.Just like the whole sea, forming a huge and boundless surge, it didn't roar, jump, or gallop, but just slowly swarmed forward, looking particularly solemn and dignified.Qin Zhen's heart was rejoicing because of this, he felt that the whole army rushed forward bravely with excitement like a single person. From the three jeeps at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, people kept going up and down.Some sent telegrams, some sent records on the telephone, some brought instructions, and some brought instructions.Silent information in space, countless invisible and inaudible radio waves are vibrating, vibrating, flying, flying, passing, passing.This scene looks peaceful and beautiful on the surface, so beautiful that you can't connect it with the cruel slaughter of war.A mutation is about to explode suddenly, and the fate of this war is firmly in the hands of Qin Zhen, who is not huge, not hard, but soft and not big. When Qin Zhen raised his head to observe the hot and misty scene for a while, he felt that it was unusual, so he immediately told Staff Officer Huang: "Ask the weather forecast!" As soon as Staff Officer Huang reached the middle of the hill, he met the head of the combat section running up the hill. Qin Zhen took a look at the telegram: "It's raining heavily today." He ordered the whole army to be notified immediately, ready to fight in the rain. At this time, a row of gunshots suddenly sounded in the distance ahead, so loud and piercing. He turned around immediately and said: "Close the stall!" When the people around him heard it, they ran down like stones rolling along a steep slope. When Qin Zhen came down, all preparations to move on had been made.He hopped into the jeep, and the jeep hit full steam ahead.There was still some residual fog close to the ground, and the three jeeps flashed and disappeared.The sound of gunfire became more and more intense, and the jeep flew towards the place where the fiery battle was taking place. Fives Sure enough, a storm came that night. Such a storm in the southern summer is really scary!Not only can it not bring people a little coolness, but it is more stuffy and hotter.As a result, the rain from the outside and the sweat from the inside soaked the soldiers' clothes, especially the place next to the skin, which became sticky and turned into a paste.The hot sweat does not evaporate, and the sweat and rain, rain and sweat flow together on people's bodies. Today, the morning fog cleared away at noon, but the air was condensed with misty mist, and the sun was not red but white, as if very sad and bleak.Nature is brewing an upheaval, and in a blink of an eye, dark clouds fill the entire sky, and the clouds and fog remain motionless, just sinking, sinking, as if the sky and the earth are about to be squeezed together, and all living things will be crushed. Crushed, sandwiched in the middle of the strata, after hundreds of millions of years, it will become a fossil.Just when the dark clouds were about to fall to the ground, a flash of lightning flew away like a dragon snake.Immediately afterwards, along with the bang of the thunderbolt, heavy rain fell in torrents.At this moment, a gust of wind swept across the ground, like a mountain toppled down. The raindrops were not liquid but solid, like hard lead bullets and stones. They hit downwards in conjunction with clouds, fog and wind, making people unable to open their eyes. , the horse couldn't raise its head, and was pushed crookedly by the whirlwind, backwards.As soon as this kind of rain comes, rice fields, river beds, field ridges, and roads will immediately flood into a vast ocean.On July 11, 1949, the army marched south from Xiangfan, and encountered such a violent storm on the 12th. The night is like ink, and the wind and rain invade.Chen Wenhong was at the forefront of the avant-garde regiment.Ever since the order to "advance" was issued from the Corps headquarters, how excited he was and how excited he was!There was such a rush of desire and heat that nothing could stop him from his body.At such times, he kept his mouth tightly shut, and when necessary, he gave orders, and the sentences were short and decisive.In the morning, the burst of gunfire that once sounded was that our outpost troops had contact with the enemy. The army sent frequent telegrams to urge the troops to advance quickly, but the surrounding fields were immersed in silence again. This storm, this night, this silence , an ominous shadow cast over Chen Wenhong's heart. “难道敌人在暴风雨掩蔽下滑脱、逃遁了吗？”天神好像有意跟他为难，当他想到这里，风雨雷电更加凶狂。正在这时，秦震传来令人心惊的消息：军指率领两个团已经渡河，抓住敌人。命令陈文洪顶风冒雨跟踪涉渡，投入战斗！ ——这是十万火急的命令。陈文洪立刻挥师前进。不过，这当儿，雨太狂风太大，本来就跋涉不前，雨衣又缠裹住双腿。他一把把雨衣甩在地下，他一心一意就是要掌握住部队，使他们有秩序地前进、作战、追击、歼敌。可是夜如此漆黑，只觉得周围山崩地裂，天翻地覆，只听见隆隆的雨声和呜呜的风声。大地变成了急流，一脚拔上来，一脚又陷下去。这时，从各处传来“寻不到路了！”的报告。 陈文洪虎地一声喊道： “路靠人脚踩出来！哪个天老爷子会给你设桥铺路，准备齐全？” 不过，他立刻冷静下来，因为他自己眼前也找不到路了。他马上命令：“停止待令！”警卫员找到一个小山坡，把他拽了上去。这儿有大片竹林，竹竿给风雨打得倒伏到地面，竹叶在风雨中唰唰一片紧响。 陈文洪伸手取地图，几个参谋就把雨衣撑起来在他头上搭了个防雨棚，可是风撕裂着雨衣，雨水还是往下流淌。陈文洪蹲在地上，在膝头展开地图，几只电筒同时打出雪亮的蓝光，光圈随着陈文洪的手指和眼光在图纸上移动。原来这条古老的大河，已经形成一片平坦辽阔的乱石滩，只有一条流水曲折宛转萦绕其间。大雨一下，河水就漫溢出来，淹没两旁各约一里之遥的河床，于是汪洋一片，你就分不清哪里是河哪里是滩了。陈文洪传令找来的前头部队团、营、连的干部们都站在他旁边，围了一个圆圈，等待命令。 “卡——拉拉……”一声暴雷在陈文洪头顶上爆炸开来，不知是什么缘故，电灯光刷地一下都熄灭了。“卡——拉拉……”“卡——拉拉……”接连几声成千上百万吨钢铁一齐砸断的声响。然后，等雷电过去，手电筒又发出束束亮光，但也有几只灯泡的钨丝却震断了。 陈文洪大声吼叫：“不管是路不是路，对准指北针，向南！向南！” 正在这时，一科长陈葵从前面骑马跑来。这匹马在泥水里面，东奔西突，已经精疲力竭，在泥泞中一面大声喘气，一面焦躁地打旋。陈葵不顾一切，将缰绳一撂，就飞身下来，一脚扑通跌倒在水洼里，他爬起身，连泥带水，跑上山坡向陈文洪报告： “师长！山洪暴发！” 陈文洪哗地一声折起地图站立起来。忽然透过闪电雷鸣，他听到河那面枪炮声大作，看情形战斗十分激烈，倏地一阵冷汗渗透他的全身：“军部只带了两个团，后面山洪一截断，孤军作战，岂不危急万分！” 从报话机上果然传来告急的声音： “九江！九江！我是秦岭，我是秦岭……”狂风骤雨，山洪暴发，如火的军情，这一切一切都像山崩、雪崩、天崩，一起压上陈文洪心头。 在急风骤雨中，陈文洪摇晃了一下，小陈伸手想扶他，他发怒地一把甩开小陈的手。 他仰头南望，透过迷雾一般的风雨夜空，几颗红色信号弹在遥远地方一闪一闪发亮。 他的心隐隐地刺疼了一下。 这红色信号在河南面升起，好像敌人有意对他嘲弄、挑衅。 他的颚骨像钢铁一般咬着，发出坚定、镇静的声音： “走！去看看大河，看看洪水。” 他意识到，在这时，一个指挥员应有的位置和在这位置上所应起的作用。 陈文洪率领一小批人膛着没到小腿肚的水流来到大河边上。 他忽然影影绰绰看见一个黑人影站在那里。 陈文洪喝问：“哪一个？” 那人站在那里兀自不动，仿佛根本没有听见，只在那儿寻思什么。 小陈举起冲锋枪要冲过去。 陈文洪一把抓住小陈的胳膊。他膛着泥水艰难地跑上去。 这时，那沉默的人好像才发现这茫茫大野里，还有人在旁边，就慢慢转过身来。刺眼的电光忽地一闪，把这人和停在附近的一辆小吉普还有警卫战士都一起照亮。陈文洪又是心疼，又是喜悦地喊： “秦副司令，你怎么一个人站在这里？……” 他心里一阵滚烫，喊了一句再也说不下去。 雨水从秦震的头上冲到脸上，然后顺着袖口往下滴，他缓缓说道： “果然，山洪暴发了！” 山洪，山洪，陈文洪在延安曾经以大无畏的精神战胜过它。不过，那时是他一个人，现在是千军万马呀！那回想倏然一下涌上心头，又倏然一下从心头滑过。
