Mayanghe human landscape

In the basin, there are the ruins of the old town of Shimayong House, the former residence of Tian Hongfu, the leader of pickled cabbage, the former residence of Fu Haier, the leader of Dalinzhai Army, the monument to the martyrs of the People's Liberation Army, the site of banditry in pigpen gate, the site of banditry in Niupi pond, the place where Cai Shikang, the bandit leader of Shuiflooded pond, was killed, and the place where Luo Yongxi, the bandit leader of Xitouba, was captured. Pig pen gate, a place name, is located 2.5 kilometers southwest of Xuehuagai, Xuehua Village, Loess Township, Tujia Autonomous County along the river in Guizhou Province. It is one of the most important passes in the middle of the border between Wuchuan County and Wuchuan County along the river, and the terrain is very dangerous.

The County Records along the River in the Republic of China recorded that "the snow covered 140 miles northwest of the county seat. The Loushan mountain range winds up to this peak, and the peaks are like clouds, which is the mountain that enters the county. Winter snow will not melt until March, hence the name. It is the main peak in the west of the county. " Snowflakes covered a huge mountain, and the mountain was magnificent. The mountain is generally a cuboid, 4 kilometers long from north to south and 3 kilometers wide from east to west. It is a hilly plain with an area of about 10 square kilometer and an average elevation of about1.330m.. Longdongbao, the highest peak, is1409.3m above sea level, surrounded by cliffs like knives and axes. Mayang River Canyon is in the south and Zilan River Canyon is in the north. The situation is very dangerous. Under the cliff in the east are seven dams in Huangtu Township, Yanhe County, with an altitude of 1.037 meters, which are connected with the snow cover by a tired trough. Under the cliff in the north is Tiger Dam in Hongsi Township, Wuchuan County, with an altitude of1.050m, which is connected with a pigsty door covered with snowflakes. Both the pigsty gate and the tired mouth trough are in danger of "one guard, ten thousand people are not allowed", which is an important battlefield for fighting bandits.

The pigsty gate is 25 kilometers southwest of Wuchuan County, 30 kilometers east of Siqu and 35 kilometers northeast of Gongtan, which is the only way for Wuchuan to reach Siqu and Gongtan along the river. Pig pen gate is also a land shortcut for Chongqing to reach Xiushan, Longtan and Youyang via Nanchuan, Daozhen, Zhennan, Hongsi, Pig pen gate, Niupitang, Tiansheng Bridge, Guanzhou and along the river. The total distance is only about 270 kilometers, which is more than 200 kilometers more than bypassing Pengshui. The strategic position and traffic significance of pigpen gate are very important.

1934 On May 2 1 day, He Long led the Red Army to Hongsibao, intending to go out from Siqu, east of the pigsty gate, to open up the Sichuan-Guizhou border area base, while letting the main force rest in Hongsibao, while letting the vanguard troops repeatedly feint and scout. In order to avoid paying a huge price for storming the pigsty gate, we bypassed Triangle Wood, Huang 'en Dam, Quankou Temple, Operator Dam, and 100 kilometers of roads and canals, missed the opportunity to cross the river and the canal, and had to turn to Blackwater to attack Yanhe City and cross the Wujiang River. Niupitang is close to the hinterland of Mayang River, a national nature reserve, with good ecology and beautiful scenery. Yang Tujia mountain people who live in Niupitang are remote, less influenced by external factors and primitive in folk customs. Martyrs' remains, relics, tombs and monuments are well preserved, which is an important place to carry out red tourism, patriotism education and revolutionary tradition education, and an important scenic spot for Mayang River ecological tour and Tujia ethnic customs tour.

On September 22nd, 1950, Chen Quan and Luo Yongxi, bandit leaders in Youyang County, Sichuan Province, led five or six hundred bandit troops through Damaoya and Loess, and stopped in Bao Chao area of Xiaojiadui that night. The next day, he fled to Wuchuan via Yu Heping, Fengshui Cliff and Qikeba, and colluded with the remnants of the Kuomintang 328th Division led by bandit leader Cai Shikang. The "pigsty gate" at the junction of Yanhe and Wuchuan was defeated by the People's Liberation Army. On September 26th (August15th), bandits from Chen Quan and Cai Shikang fled to Niupitang in Yangjiaba village at dusk.

At dawn on September 27th, Cai Shikang and Chen Quan sent fifty or sixty gangsters to Wayaotuo and Mengzibao to keep watch, planning and urging them to cook as soon as possible. The result of their planning is: if they can escape from Niupitang and hit Yangjiaba, they will escape from Huangtukan to Gongtan; Otherwise, they will run for their lives. Dinner will be served before eight. Just after eating half a full meal, gunshots came from Wayaotuo and Mengzibao.

It turned out that the 95th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army was divided into three roads in Liujiazhai, Huangtukan. All the way across the river from Daheba, along Malu River (the name of the river in the middle reaches of undercurrent) to Lei Jia and Dabaoyan, another route is led by farmer Xiao Tingyou, and the other route is led by farmer Liu Shougui to Yu Heping and Fengshui Cliff, and the other route is led by Eagle Rock and Raft House. Leading the way is Liu Shougui of a class of the People's Liberation Army. Numerous bandits were killed and injured in this battle, and a monitor of the People's Liberation Army was unfortunately shot in the chest and died gloriously.

Cai Shikang and other gangsters in Niupitang heard the intensive gunfire coming from Wayaotuo and Mengzibao, and knew that the PLA army had arrived and was doomed, so they announced that they would disperse their troops and flee for their lives. Cai Shikang's little wife, who can use two guns and shoot accurately, strongly opposes the idea of "scattered escape", forcing Cai Shikang to order him to retreat while fighting. Cai Shikang had no choice but to send some gangsters to carry his little wife (riding his own horse), fight with the team and escape. At this time, the east was blocked by heavy artillery of the People's Liberation Army. In the south, the People's Liberation Army is waiting in Dabao and Fujia areas opposite Bajiaotan. In the south of the beach, there is a natural barrier of "ladder cliff" which is difficult to climb, and in the west, there are people's liberation army chasing from "pigsty gate" who live in Xiaoyakou (where the PLA headquarters is located). Only the direction of the lion camp in the north is a gap. Two gangsters blocked the People's Liberation Army with machine guns in the second half of Niupitang village to cover the bandits' escape. The PLA machine gun suppressed the enemy machine gun fire, and a soldier touched the enemy machine gun position. A bullet pierced the hearts of two enemy gunmen, who huddled together and died at the same time. The bandit troops dumped their bodies all the way to the dam and were blocked by the People's Liberation Army to the Lion Camp. The bandit troops fought hard, but they still couldn't catch up with the lion camp, so they were forced to divert to Tongjingtuo and Xiaqingtang. In Xitouba, the People's Liberation Army led by Liu Shougui stayed in Aiziwan and Tianjiabazi for two hours. The bandit troops killed and injured more than 20 people, unable to break through this barrier, so they had to flee to Tongjingtuo again. Tongjingtuo is a mountainous depression, surrounded by three mountains: Jingzhubao, Shiziying and Shangbabao. Naturally, a small depression with only three roads was formed. The people's liberation army attacked from both sides of Qingtang bank and Xiaoyakou, and the bandits suffered heavy casualties. Cai Shikang's mount was killed, and he was also killed on the pheasant water road. A bandit troops occupied the highland Zhu Jing Fort in the north of Tongjingtuo, and Cai Shikang's little wife forced the bandit troops to fight back. The People's Liberation Army failed in three attacks, and only rushed to Fort Zhu Jing for the fourth time. The bandit troops entrenched in the fort were all wiped out, and Cai Shikang's little wife was also killed on the spot. The bandits of Chen Shuan and Cai Shikang were all wiped out except a few who escaped from the net. Dong Xiupeng, the squad leader of the People's Liberation Army, died gloriously in the battle against Jingzhubao.

In the fierce battle between Tongjingtuo and Jing Zhubao, bandits Chen Quan and Luo Yongxi

Run away in disguise. Luo Yongxi fled to the home of a widow surnamed Yang in Xitouba, and was captured alive by the security forces after hiding for six days. Chen Quan fled to Aowoba and Chenjiaba on land, colluded with local bandits in Sawtooth Mountain area, and was finally captured alive. Poplar forest is located in the north of the township government of Huangtukan Village, Loess Township. 1In July, 976, the Revolutionary Committee of Loess Township was established to commemorate the martyrs of the People's Liberation Army who died in the suppression of bandits in loess in the early days of liberation. The monument is12m high and 3m wide. On the front (southwest), it says "Martyrs Memorial Tower", on the back (northeast), it says "People's heroes are immortal", and on the right (northwest), from top to bottom, it lists the names, places of origin, positions, places of sacrifice and ages of martyrs. 1999 12, tongren city hydropower bureau donated money to rebuild the monument together with the township people's government to build a traditional education base for the youth revolution. The surface of the monument is inlaid with fine ground marble, the top is covered with glazed tiles, and it is surrounded by 17 square stone pillars, which are connected by chains and inlaid with ivory tiles. On the front of the monument, the words "Martyrs Memorial Tower" are erected in block letters, and the introduction and explanation of martyrs are engraved on the front of the monument seat.
