With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

If we want to convey the message to the main enemy force, we must have these deserters.

With the Red Army's deliberate release of water, all the enemy troops escaped through the small roads.

The fleeing enemy troops lived up to expectations and passed back the news that the main force of the Red Army was attacking Gulin County.

Once this news came out, the enemy became even more convinced of the false information that the Red Army was going to cross the Yangtze River.

Commander Zheng led the Red Army soldiers into the city. There was silence all around, with doors and windows closed everywhere.

"Alas! It seems that group of white dogs are spreading rumors again!"

"The villagers are probably hiding again!"

"Let's go and find our fellow villagers."

Because of the enemy's rumors, misunderstandings often occurred when entering the county town, and it took a lot of time to explain things to the villagers.

Several soldiers carried telegraph machines and hand-cranked generators on their backs. There was a reason for carrying these bulky things.

Commander Zheng said to several telegraph operators, "You send a telegram every two hours."

This is also a fog array set up for the enemy to confuse them.

In this way, the signals intercepted by the enemy were all sent from Gulin County, which made them more convinced that the main force of the Red Army was heading towards southern Sichuan.

So the enemy commander-in-chief sent a large number of troops to Gulin County in a hurry.

The main force of the Red Army has been staying in the mountains for the past few days, but everyone has not been idle and has been looking for things to do.

Soldiers who could read and write were writing leaflets and notices.

It was written on it that the Red Army was an army of the poor. They fought against landlords and local tyrants and distributed all the land to the poor.

As well as slogans advocating that the Red Army treat prisoners well and welcome enemy soldiers to join the Red Army.

These leaflets will be posted at that time so that more civilians and enemy troops can see them.

Let them know what the real Red Army is like and not be misled by rumors.

"Brother Tiezhu, why are you cutting so many bamboos?"

Zhou Xing saw Wang Tiezhu and Gou Wa dragging a lot of bamboos towards them and asked curiously.

"Hey, let's make a hydrograph!"

"What is a hydrograph?"

Zhou Xing didn't understand. He had heard from his sister that the big iron box was used to send telegrams, but what was a hydrograph?

"Haha, you'll know soon!"

Gou Wa used a small knife to split the bamboo into squares.

Wang Tiezhu was holding a small, sharp file in his hand, carving something on a palm-sized piece of bamboo.

Soon, many small words were carved on the bamboo slip.

Zhou Xing was illiterate and scratched his head in confusion as he looked at the piece of bamboo.

Wang Tiezhu pointed and read aloud, "The Red Army treated the prisoners well and rewarded them with three silver dollars before sending them home."

Zhou Xing nodded, "What's the use of this?"

Gou Wa raised his head, his eyes full of excitement, and explained to Zhou Xing.

"When we cross the Chishui River, we will pour all of this into the river. When the river water rushes in, we will reach the enemy camp!"

(I learned about this bamboo carving from research. The Red Army soldiers were really smart!)

Zhou Yue, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the Red Army soldiers.

In this era, there was no Internet and information was too isolated, which has great disadvantages.

Neither the enemy soldiers nor the civilians knew much about the Red Army.

These propaganda efforts were very necessary so that enemy soldiers could turn to the light and the people would know that the Red Army were good soldiers who loved the people.

"This is a great idea! It's a pity that I can't read, otherwise I could help."

Zhou Xing lost both his parents when he was young and he never went to school, so he is a complete illiterate.

Gou Wa was chopping bamboo with a smug smile on his face.

"Hey, I've learned a few new words recently. I'll teach you later!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Gou!"

Time passed quickly in the mountains, and in the blink of an eye it was the evening of the 21st. Zhou Yue knew it was time to hit the road.

From the evening of the 21st to the 22nd, the main force of the Red Army crossed the Chishui River and continued to advance rapidly towards Guiyang.

They arrived in Zunyi on the 26th, crossed the Wujiang River on the 31st, and on April 4nd, the vanguard of the Red Army troops had reached Guiyang.

As the soldiers marched, they shouted slogans, calling for reaching Guiyang and carrying out a decapitation operation on the enemy commander-in-chief!

During this period, Zhou Yue had to walk dozens of miles every day, and she felt like the soles of her feet were not her own.

My feet have become numb from walking, but I absolutely cannot stop.

"Sister Suzhen, are you okay?"

Zhou Yue walked to Li Suzhen, held her hand, and asked with concern.

During this period of high physical exertion every day, what she is most worried about is Sister Suzhen, although her due date is around mid-May.

But Zhou Yue was really afraid that she would overwork herself and give birth to the baby prematurely.

Medical technology was backward in that era, and giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. If it was a premature birth, the situation would be even worse, and it was very likely that two lives would be lost.

Li Suzhen's belly was so bulging that she couldn't see her toes when looking down, but she still insisted on walking dozens of miles every day.

"It's okay, my feet are just a little swollen."

When the troops stopped to rest, Zhou Yue looked at Sister Suzhen's "slightly swollen" feet.

"Oh my god, why is it so swollen!"

After Sister Suzhen took off her shoes, Zhou Yue was shocked. It was not just a little swollen, it was terribly swollen.

My feet were completely swollen like steamed buns, and a big hole was left when I pressed the instep lightly.

"Director Wu! Come and show Sister Suzhen."

Zhou Yue called Wu Shisan to check Sister Suzhen's swollen feet.

Wu Shisan only took one look and knew that her condition was not optimistic.

Normal pregnant women will also have swollen feet, but hers were too swollen.

It should be caused by gestational hypertension and walking for too long. You must rest more, otherwise it will cause great harm to the mother.

Wu Shisan grabbed some herbs from his medicine box and prepared to make some medicine for her while he made a fire to cook.

"Comrade Li, you need to rest more, otherwise your physical condition will get worse and worse."

Li Suzhen nodded worriedly, "I know, thank you for your help."

God knows how much pain she felt at that moment. For the sake of her beliefs, she was determined to follow the Red Army.

But at that time, she was pregnant, which was undoubtedly a burden to the Red Army.

She suffered both physical and mental torture along the way, but she was unwilling to tell anyone for fear of causing trouble to her comrades.

How could Xu Shitou not see the torment in his wife's heart? He went through a bitter struggle in his heart.

I found the instructor Liu Yaowen and said, "Instructor, Comrade Li Suzhen and I would like to withdraw from the team."
