Take the Long March Road Again —— Interview with Hadapu and Lazikou in Min County, Gansu Province (4)

In addition to the famous landscape of Hexi Corridor, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Jiayuguan and Zhangye's colorful Danxia, Jinta Populus euphratica and Gansu are also famous at home and abroad. It has become my wish to visit Gannan. In recent years, with the upsurge of tourism in Haixi and Gannan, I decided to go to Qinghai and Gansu after a trip to the northwest on 20 13, especially to Haixi, Haibei and Gannan. 2065438+July 26th, 2009, I got on the through train to Xining and transferred to Golmud, the main city of Haixi (Qaidam Basin). Going to Kunlun Mountain Pass, entering Hoh Xil and visiting Chaerhan Salt Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Dachaidan and Delingha, Menyuan Flower Sea and Qilian Mountain are important scenic spots in Haixi and Haibei. On the evening of August, 2065438+2009/KLOC-0, I returned to Xining by train from Menyuan, ending my trip to the north of Haixi. The next day, I left Xining, Qinghai by train, arrived at Hadapu, Tanchang County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, a famous historical and cultural town in China, and started my trip to Gannan, once again embarking on this long March road.

Hadapu town is small, and a road about 2 kilometers long runs through the town. The houses on both sides of the road are mainly all kinds of shops, with the most restaurants with distinctive flavors. The railway station is on the edge of town. In order to leave Hadapu conveniently, I chose to stay in a hotel near the town.

Hadapu, located at the foot of Minshan Mountain, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and is a historic town in the thoroughfare of Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces. Hadapu has a long history and prosperous trade, and is rich in precious Chinese herbal medicines such as angelica, rhubarb and codonopsis pilosula. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been a famous distribution center for Chinese herbal medicines, and drug companies in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Sichuan have set up semicolons here. Of course, making Hadapu famous in the world and becoming a famous red tourist town in China is the arrival of the three main forces of the Red Army in history. The Long March Memorial Hall of the Red Army in the town reproduces the history of the arrival of the Red Army with rich and detailed historical materials, and is warmly welcomed by the people of Hadapu.

There are many sculptures of the Red Army around the Long March Memorial Hall for people to admire.

Hadapu has an extremely important position and role in the history of the Red Army's Long March. According to party history experts, the CPC Central Committee did not know that there were Red Army and base areas in northern Shaanxi before it arrived in Hadapu. 1935 September 18, the Central Red Army (Red Army) broke through the natural barrier Lazikou and occupied Hadapu. On the 20th, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other central leaders arrived in Hadapu. Only from the enemy newspaper of the local postal agency did we learn the news of the Red Army led by Liu Zhidan and the northern Shaanxi base area, and quickly convened an emergency meeting of the central leadership and a meeting of cadres at or above the regiment level (Figures 6 and 7). At the meeting, Mao Zedong clearly put forward and called for "going to northern Shaanxi" for the first time, and made a major decision to put the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. Hadapu has thus become an important decision-making place that determines the fate of the Long March of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army. In order to ensure the smooth March into northern Shaanxi, the Central Red Army was reorganized into an anti-Japanese but Shaanxi-Gansu detachment in Hadapu, and the Shaanxi-Gansu detachment left Hadapu for the north on September 23.

Hadapu also won the honorary title of "gas station" on the Long March Road. The Red Army crossed the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in Wan Li, and arrived at Hadapu, which was tired and hungry. Hadapu's rich products provide a strong material guarantee for the Red Army to quickly recover its physical strength and combat effectiveness and replenish its supplies. Under the slogan of "Everyone should eat well" put forward by the Central Committee, after several days of rest and replenishment, the Red Army soldiers quickly recovered their physical strength, refreshed themselves and greatly improved their combat effectiveness.

On August 9th, 1936, the 30th Army of the Red Fourth Front Army entered Hadapu via Lazikou; On August 25th, the Sixth Army of the Red Second Army entered Hadapu. 1 September, the General Command of the Red Second Army and the Second Army Corps arrived in Hadapu, 10/0/October 4, and left Hadapu north successively. At this point, the three main forces of the Chinese Red Army came to Hadapu in September 1935 and August and September 1936 respectively.

Opposite the Long March Memorial Hall is Hadapu Old Street, which is about 1, 200 meters long. This is the longest street that the Red Army walked in the Long March, and it preserved the original appearance of that year. Known as the first street of the red army's long March. It is also a revolutionary memorial site with the largest scale, the most complete content and the most complete original appearance after Jinggangshan and Yan 'an. There are many century-old houses in the street. The houses are painted red, and the whole street is red, similar to Haifeng in Guangdong. There are relics of the Red Army everywhere in the old street, and the old street lipstick military gate archway; The "Yihechang" pharmacy where Mao Zedong and Zhang Wentian once lived; Zhou Enlai lives in "Tongshan society".

The "Postal Agency" is diagonally opposite the "Yihechang" pharmacy.

He Long and Ren played a good game of chess in the "Zhangjia Courtyard" where they lived (Figure 3).

Hadapu is a place where the Red Army can survive. Here, the Red Army found a foothold in the future and obtained a lot of supplies and personnel supplements. Hehe, I also rest here. Food and accommodation are too cheap to leave. At the suggestion of my friend Xiao Liu in Dingxi, Gansu (who met in Xiamen in the autumn of October and May) and the local people, I left Hadapu and went to Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. This Minxian County is the location of Minshan Mountain, a famous poem written by the great man Mao Zedong in the poem "Seven Laws and Long March". It is very meaningful to follow the footsteps of the Red Army to Min County, take the Long March Road and experience the Long March of the Red Army. Min county belongs to the border area between old and young. With the strong support of the national poverty alleviation policy, earth-shaking changes have taken place and a modern county is emerging.

? Min County has convenient transportation (lanzhou-chongqing railway passes through the border), smooth telecommunication network, abundant market, low price, greatly improved people's life, and people generally attach importance to education.

The food in Xiaonanmen Night Market in Min County is very distinctive. I am the "delicious dog" here, and I am very happy!

The Red Army's breakthrough in the natural barrier Lazikou is a world-famous victory miracle in the revolutionary history of China. Lazikou belongs to Lazi Township, Diebu County, Gannan Prefecture. Located in the deep mountain canyon, it is the only passage from northwest Sichuan to Gansu and the "throat" of Guganchuan Road. The whole pass is about 30 meters long and 8 meters wide, with steep cliffs on both sides and surrounded by mountains. When you look up, you will see a blue sky. The swift Lazi River runs through the mountain pass from north to south. There is a wooden bridge on the Lazi River in front of the pass, and the road passes through it. The terrain is dangerous, which can be described as "one person guards it, and ten thousand people can't." 1September, 935, the Central Red Army crossed the snowy grassland in western Sichuan and came to Lazikou. At this time, the enemy focused on Lazikou and set up several defense lines in this area in an attempt to block the Red Army in the canyon south of Lazikou by natural hazards. If we can't break through Lazikou quickly, the Red Army is in danger of being surrounded by the enemy on three sides. Mao Zedong and ZhongGe CMC decided decisively to seize Lazikou immediately and get through the Red Army's northward passage. The Red Army soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they detour through frontal assault and cliff climbing. After two days of fierce bloody battles, they unexpectedly defeated the enemy defenders. /kloc-in the early morning of September, 0/7, they completely conquered the natural barrier Lazikou, making the enemy's attempt to stop the Red Army from going north completely bankrupt. This battle opened the door for the Red Army to enter Gansu. On the second day after the capture of Lazikou, the Red Army occupied Hadapu and found its final foothold here. The Battle of Lazikou was mainly completed by the Red Fourth Regiment, and the founding general Yang Chengwu, then the political commissar of the Red Fourth Regiment, personally wrote the Battle Monument of Lazikou.

Now the asphalt highway from Min County to Diebu County passes through here, and the bus usually stays here for 20 minutes, which is convenient for passengers to take photos at the former site of Lazikou Battle and remember the revolutionary ancestors who sacrificed their lives to build a new China. Re-taking the Long March Road from Hadapu to Lazikou is deeply touched by the Red Army soldiers who are not afraid of the harsh natural environment. They went through hardships and finally ushered in the victory of the Long March and the China Revolution, and their souls were deeply baptized. The Red Army martyrs who died heroically in the Battle of Lazikou are immortal! The Long March spirit will always inspire our people to forge ahead courageously on the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
