In early June, Tianquan, Lushan and other places were captured one after another, leaving the enemy's main force far behind. One day, we passed Lushan City and were heading toward Baoxing along the mountain road when suddenly the air defense horn sounded again.

Vice Chairman Zhou helped me onto my horse outside Lushan City.

In May 1935, the Red Army continued to advance northward after forcibly crossing the Dadu River. At the beginning of June, we successively captured tianquan, Lushan and other places, leaving the enemy's main force far behind.

So the enemy sent planes to bomb indiscriminately every day in an attempt to prevent the Red Army from advancing.

-day, we passed Lushan City and were heading towards Baoxing along the mountain road when suddenly the air defense horn sounded again. As soon as everyone took cover, a group of enemy planes swooped down halfway up the mountain like snitches, dropping bombs and strafing, causing gravel to fly everywhere and the vegetation to catch fire. Regardless of the enemy's ferocity, our Red Army has already experienced this trick many times. Therefore, as soon as the false report was cleared, everyone immediately came out of their hiding places and moved on.

After we walked for a long time, guard Fan Jinbiao suddenly called out to me: "Wu Shengkai, are you injured?"

I looked down and saw, no, blood was seeping out through the trousers. . I immediately bent down and rolled up my trouser legs, and then I realized that my leg was injured, and I immediately felt excruciating pain.

However, I was afraid that the chief would be worried after seeing it, so I pulled a piece of cloth, tied the wound tightly, and quickly lowered my trousers.

But how could this be hidden from Vice Chairman Zhou’s eyes? He immediately stopped and asked to see my wound.

I said: "Chief, it doesn't matter, my skin was broken a little by the bomb fragments." Vice Chairman Zhou said uneasily: "It's better to bandage it properly."

After saying that, he asked the hygienist to re-dress my wound. It was bandaged. At first, my wound was not serious. Although I bled a lot, I could still walk.

Later, due to the severe shortage of medicine, the hot weather, and the rapid march, the wound became red, swollen, and festered. , it was a bit difficult to walk.

I thought that Vice Chairman Zhou would either run to the front of the team or run to the back of the team, dealing with problems during the march day and night. In addition, he was about to pass through Jiajin Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round. I was anxious to wait. More problems were solved.

Therefore, in order not to distract the leader, I gritted my teeth and tried not to look like I was crippled.

The worst thing was that after passing Luding, there were mountains all the way. As I climbed higher and higher, the problem with my leg gradually became apparent, and finally Comrade Kang Keqing, the instructor of the headquarters, discovered it.

She insisted that I go to the hospital. But how could I do this? What if I hurt the Ministry of Health? Besides, when Vice Chairman Zhou was so busy, there was no way I could leave him!

So, I gritted my teeth and insisted on leaving. The man from the back of the team caught up and saw that I was holding a stick in my hand and was in severe pain. He immediately walked up to me and asked with concern, "Wu Shengkai, how are you?" Does it hurt? "

I replied: "Vice Chairman Zhou, I can walk without pain. It's easier to walk with a stick..."

Vice Chairman Zhou looked at me with keen eyes, and then waved to the comrade the breeder, "Bring the horse over. "When I saw this scene, I became anxious and thought, the leader is so busy, how can I ride a horse? So I hurried forward and repeated, "

I can walk, I can catch up a few steps, Vice Chairman Zhou, He grabbed me and said kindly, "Xiao Wu, it's better to get on the horse! After recovering from your injuries, you still have to cross the mountains ahead!"

At this time, the breeder comrade had already led the horse to me. No matter how I explained, Vice Chairman Zhou still insisted on helping me onto the horse. He waited until I was riding steadily on the horse before he happily went back to work.

Two old tea jars

In mid-June 1935, the Red Army crossed the Snowy Mountains and sandwiched Jinshan Mountain. Later, I heard that the comrades of the Red Fourth Front Army were preparing to welcome them in the Dawei and Maogong areas. us.

Everyone was very happy. The fatigue and sleepiness of crossing Luding and climbing the snow-capped mountains suddenly disappeared. The leaders were also busy excitedly in preparation for the rendezvous between the two armies.

html One day, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Zhang Yunyi and other leaders of the containment team were all sitting on stones by the roadside, studying the issue of joining forces.The snowy mountain is like a cold ice cave, but at the foot of the mountain, it is as hot as a fire.

I untied the two teapots and was about to pour water when I started to mutter in my heart: These two teapots have always been slightly better, but a lot of the enamel has been knocked off and the embroidery has become mottled. The other one is even worse. The enamel is basically all gone, rusty and broken, and there are still many chips on the mouth of the jar, which are jagged and jagged.

How can you use such a teapot to greet the chief to drink water? I thought for a moment, then picked up the slightly better teapot, filled half of it with water, and brought it to the leaders.

There is a jar and three leaders. Who should I give it to? I was in a dilemma, and my awkward look made the leaders burst into laughter.
