1, across the snow-capped mountains
1September 1933 to1summer 1934, the Red Army in the central revolutionary base area fought against "encirclement and suppression" for the fifth time. Under the strategic guidance of military adventurism and military conservatism such as the China Central Military Commission, it was repeatedly defeated, and the Soviet area in the Chinese Red Army base area of workers and peasants was shrinking day by day, and the situation became increasingly severe.
193410/0 at night, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the headquarters of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants quietly set off from Ruijin, leading the Red Army, the Third Army, the Fifth Army, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army, together with the rear organs, to make a strategic shift and set off for Xiangxi, starting a long journey with a tragic and uncertain future.
Many people in the Red Army have never seen a snowy mountain, let alone climbed it. When I first saw the snow-capped mountains, I felt very spectacular. Snow-covered, white-covered, snow-covered, snow-covered, the whole world is snow. I can really get up, but I don't feel beautiful at all. Jin Jia is called "Fairy Mountain" by local people. They told the Red Army that only immortals can climb Jin Jia.
In a word, the Jin Jia Mountains are an incredible mountain. Birds can't fly in the past, and people had better stay away, but the fearless Red Army has to fight against fate.
In front of Jin Jia Mountain, you can see the heavy snow covering the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain. It seems that this large area of snow is not far away. At first, people didn't realize that they had to climb so high. After months of marching, food was insufficient and people were exhausted.
Climbing the snow mountain seemed to go smoothly at first, but then suddenly it entered the world of ice and snow. The snowstorm blinded the Red Army and there was no road. People fall on the ice, trying to stand up, feeling weak, and some people lie in the arms of snow-capped mountains forever.
On June 12, the vanguard of the Central Red Army finally climbed over several snow-capped mountains and joined forces with the vanguard of the Red Fourth Army on the way north. After the two main Red Army joined forces, the total strength reached more than 65,438+10,000, and the morale was high.
However, Zhang used various excuses to delay the northward movement of the main force of the Red Fourth Front Army and demanded more power from the Central Committee. In order to maintain the unity of the Red Army, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a notice on July 18, 2008, appointing Zhang as the general political commissar of the Red Army, and then made a series of adjustments to the Red Army sequence.
2. Sidu Chishui
The time is 1935 65438+ 10/9 to122 March 935. The Battle of Sidu Chishui was a decisive campaign of mobile warfare on the way to the Long March after Zunyi Conference, under the dangerous conditions of hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops under siege.
The Central Red Army, under the command of Chairman Zhou, Chairman Zhu and others, adopted a highly mobile policy of mobile warfare, galloped across the vast areas along the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border, actively searched for fighters, effectively mobilized and annihilated the enemy, completely shattered the arrogant plans of Chiang Kai-shek and other reactionaries to surround the Red Army on the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan border, and the Red Army won a decisive victory in strategic shift.
Mao Zedong commanded the Central Red Army to cross the Three Rivers six times in three months and move to Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. He skillfully interspersed in the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army's heavy group, constantly made fighter planes, annihilated a large number of enemies in the movement, firmly grasped the initiative of the battlefield, and achieved a brilliant example of the Red Army's long March history in which the few prevailed and the passive took the initiative.
3. Skillfully crossing Jinsha River
Jinsha River is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It runs through the deep mountains and narrow valleys along the Sichuan-Yunnan border, with a wide river surface and big waves. If the Red Army can't get through, it will be pushed into the deep mountains and narrow valleys by the enemy, and it will be in danger of being wiped out by the whole army.
On May 3rd, 1935, the comrades of the cadre group of the Central Military Commission accepted the task of robbing Jiao Pingdu. Without saying anything, they crossed the mountains 180 miles and arrived at Jinsha River that night. At the ferry, they were lucky to find two boats.
Then, they quietly crossed to the north shore in these two boats. The enemy sentry thought the spy was back and didn't care. They suddenly attacked, wiped out a regular army and a security team in one fell swoop, and took control of the ferries on both sides of Jiaoping Ferry. Later, they found five more boats and mobilized 36 ferrymen.
At the same time, the Red Army Corps arrived at Longjie Ferry and the Red Army Corps arrived at Hongmen Ferry, but there were no boats at these two ferries, and the river was too wide to bridge. The CMC ordered them to quickly move to Jiaoping to cross the river.
1935 From May 3 to 9, 7 days and 7 nights, the main force of the Red Army used these 7 boats to cross the river calmly. After crossing the Wujiang River in the south, the 9th Army Corps, as a defender, was ordered by the Central Military Commission to keep circling from south to north to contain some enemy troops.
It reached Dongchuan and Qiaojia County in Yunnan on May 6th 1935, and crossed Jinsha River on May 9th 1935. Two days later, the enemy pursuers reached the south bank. However, the Red Army has already destroyed the ship and closed the river, leaving no trace, which shows the wit and courage of the soldiers.
4. Fly over Luding Bridge
The flying capture of Luding Bridge was a battle in the Long March of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army, which took place on1May 29th, 935. The Central Red Army successfully crossed the Dadu River in the central and western parts of Sichuan Province, and went north along the east bank of the Dadu River. The main force went north from Anshun Field along the right bank of the Dadu River.
In the case of heavy rain, the officers and men of the Red Fourth Regiment bravely marched forward on the rugged and steep mountain road, attacking 240 miles day and night, and finally arrived at the west bank of Luding Bridge on time at 6 am on May 29.
The company commander and 22 commandos stepped on the chain and seized the bridge head along the hail of bullets and the dense fire wall. They surrounded the Luding Bridge with the east coast troops.
The Red Army crossed the grass.
On August 2 1, 1935, the red army began to cross the grass. Line up the troops left and right and March in parallel. The right army, Xu and Xu set out from Maoergai, Sichuan and entered the grassland.
After seven days of hard fighting, the right army reached the Banyou area at the end of the grassland. Left is the Lin Biao Red Army, first; Followed by the central leading organs, students of the Red Army University, etc. On the right are the Red Thirty Army and the Red Fourth Army led by Xu and Chen Changhao. Peng led the Red Sanjuntuan to take the left-wing marching route.
It is hard for future generations to feel the difficulty of the Red Army crossing the grassland. First of all, it's difficult. The endless grassland is full of aquatic plants, swamps and mires, and there is no road at all. People and horses must walk on the grass and jump from one grass to another.
Or leaned on a stick to explore the depth, and several people helped to walk. In this way, at the end of the day, I am exhausted. There are three fears when crossing the meadow: one is afraid of not stepping on the meadow and getting stuck in the mud.
The mire is usually deep. Struggle hard, you will get deeper and deeper, and you will be swallowed up by sludge before you can save it. When the Red Army was in those days, it was often that after one person got stuck, another person reached out and pulled, and if he pushed too hard, he would be trapped.
Later, I learned from experience that I had to move my body slowly to get up, or wrap my leggings around the waist of my trapped comrades to get up. Mud water is not only inedible, but also soaked in broken legs and feet, which will be red, swollen and even festering, and it is difficult to get better at once.
Second, I'm afraid of rain. The meadow is difficult to walk, it is raining, and the feet are softer and smoother. If you are not careful, you will fall into the mud. Third, I'm afraid of crossing the river. There are many rivers on the grassland, some of which are shallower than others, some of which are wide and swift, and it is even more difficult if it rains.
Weak, cold and hungry, can not help but stimulate the cold river. Almost every time we cross the river, even if it is one meter deep, soldiers fall down.
Huang Kecheng said in his memoirs: Once, the troops were wading across the river when it suddenly rained heavily. The river surged and the torrent rolled, and many people who were still in the river were washed away and swallowed up by the flood. In this way, countless Red Army soldiers died on the grassland.
Under extremely harsh environment, the officers and men of the Red Army, with common revolutionary ideals, maintained strict discipline and optimistic revolutionary spirit, carried forward touching class friendship, shared weal and woe, overcame the difficulties of nature with great spiritual strength, and finally made a way out under the threat of death.
