How far is the Long March?

The distance of the Long March is about 25,000 Li (12,500 km), but it should be much more than that. The longest March of the Red Army is 25,000 Li.

The Red Army, the Central Red Army, made a long March from June 1934 to June10+0935; It passes through Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Xikang, Gansu, Shaanxi and other provinces 1 1.

There are more than 20 peaks in the territory, mainly Dayu Mountain, Qitianling Mountain, Zhumeng Mountain, Dupangling Mountain, Yuechengling Mountain, Minshan Mountain, Liupanshan Mountain, Jin Jia Mountain, Mengbi Mountain, Changban Mountain (also known as Yakexia Mountain and Liangzi of Matang), Cangde Mountain (also known as Changde Mountain and Changli Liangzi) and Gushan Mountain (also known as Tuoluogang and Shiluo Mountain). I have crossed 22 rivers, mainly Du Yu, Xiangjiang, Wujiang, Chishui, Jinsha, Dadu, Bailong, Lazi and Weihe.

After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it made statistics on the mileage of the Long March. The results show that the longest military mileage is 25,000 miles.

In the Long March of the Red Army, some troops marched for three or four Wan Li.

The historical fact is that different Red Army troops took different paths in the Long March because they undertook different tasks.

Regarding the long March mileage of some Red Army soldiers, Si Nuo, a famous American journalist who interviewed many Red Army soldiers, said in Red Star over China: "When the Red Army talks about the Long March itself, it is generally called' 25,000 Li', starting from the farthest place in Fujian and ending at the far northwest road in Shaanxi, during which it twists and turns, moving forward and backward, so many Long March soldiers must have walked such a long way, or even longer."

In this regard, Dai Zhengqi, an old Red Army doctor, a famous American writer and journalist who visited Salisbury, also made a strong proof. Dai Zhengqi said that an ordinary soldier like him walked a lot more in the Long March than the 25,000 miles the Red Army traveled from Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi in a year marked on the map.

They often walk 80 miles to 160 miles in one breath, up and down, back and forth, which is not a straight line at all. It is also said that many health workers have crossed the snowy mountains three or even four times to take care of the wounded and dying patients. For many people, the journey is as long as 30 thousand to 40 thousand miles.
