This paper introduces how the Red Army of the Long March skillfully crossed the Jinsha River, the Luding Bridge and the Snow Mountain.

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 cannot cross the river, it is in danger of being pushed into the deep mountains and narrow valleys by the enemy and being wiped out by the whole army. When the Red Army marched on the Jinsha River, Chiang Kai-shek woke up from his dream and suddenly realized that the purpose of the Red Army was neither Guiyang nor Kunming, but "there is no doubt that we will cross the Jinsha River." On April 28th, 1935, he ordered to control the ferry, destroy the ship and close the river. On the eve of the Red Army's arrival in Jinsha River, the enemy along the river has swept all the ships to the north bank.

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 and mountains, and traveled day and night 180 miles, and arrived at Jinsha River that night. They were lucky to find a boat at the ferry. It turned out that the ship sent spies to the south bank to inquire about the situation, and the spies did not know where to go. Later, with the help of local farmers, they fished out a broken boat from the water and blocked the leak with cloth.

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.

From May 3 to 9, seven days and seven nights, the main force of the Red Army crossed the river calmly in these seven boats. After crossing the Wujiang River in the south, the 9th Army Corps, as a defender, has been hovering in Qianxi under the orders of the Central Military Commission, shifting from east to west and from south to north, thus containing some enemy troops. On May 6th, he arrived between Dongchuan and Qiaojia County, and successfully crossed the river in Du Shujie on May 9th. Two days later, the enemy pursuers reached the south bank. However, the Red Army has destroyed the ship and closed the river, far away.

When the Red Army brigade marched into the Jinsha River, Chiang Kai-shek woke up from a dream and suddenly realized that he had given an order to control the ferry and destroy the ship and seal the river. On May 3rd, 1935, the cadre regiment of the Central Military Commission captured Jiaopingdu. For seven days and seven nights, the main force of the Red Army crossed the river calmly in seven boats. After crossing the Wujiang River in the south, the 9th Army Corps, as a defender, was ordered by the Military Commission to contain the enemy forces in Qianxi, and successfully crossed the Jinsha River in Du Shujie on May 9th.

Feiduo Luding Bridge

1935 In May, the Red Army, which fought against Japan in the north, advanced into the natural barrier Dadu River. The Dadu River is fast-flowing, with mountains on both sides, and only one cable bridge can cross it. This iron cable bridge is the Luding bridge that the Red Army will seize.

Kuomintang reactionaries have sent two regiments to defend Luding Bridge and prevent our troops from going north. Later, two brigades were sent to reinforce, hoping to wipe out our army on the bridge. The Red Fourth Regiment received an order from its superior: "Capture Luding Bridge on the morning of the 29th!"

There are only more than 20 hours left, and the Red Four Regiment is still 120 kilometers away from Luding Bridge. Two enemy brigades and reinforcements are marching on the Luding Bridge on the other side. Seizing the initiative is the key for our army to defeat the enemy.

The Red Fourth Regiment climbed over the mountains and defeated several enemies blocking along the road. By 7: 00 p.m., it was 20 miles away from Luding Bridge 1 10. The soldiers didn't take care of eating all day. It began to rain again, and they were all soaked. The determination to defeat the enemy made them forget hunger and fatigue. In the dark night, they braved the rain and walked in the mud. Suddenly, countless torches appeared on the other side, like a long snake running in the direction of Luding Bridge. Obviously, the enemy came to reinforce. The soldiers of the Red Fourth Regiment simply lit a fire to light the road and race with the enemy.

The enemy saw the torch here and shouted, "Where are you from?" Our soldiers loudly replied, "It was the Red Army that brought it down." The enemy on the other side is not suspicious. The two armies, like two fire dragons, walked twenty or thirty miles across the Dadu River. It rained harder and harder, pouring out torches on both sides. The enemy on the other side couldn't walk any further, so they had to stop and camp. The Red Fourth Regiment still marched in the dark and in the rain, and finally arrived at Luding Bridge in the early morning of the 29th, leaving behind the enemies of the two reinforced brigades.

Luding Bridge is tens of feet above the water and consists of thirteen chains. There are two on each side, which are bridge railings, and nine on the bottom side by side. The deck is covered with wooden boards, and people can't walk steadily on it, just like swinging. Now even the boards have been removed by the enemy, leaving only chains. Look under the bridge, it's really scary. Like a waterfall, the reddish-brown river flows down from the upstream canyon and rushes to the rocks, splashing waves more than three meters high, and the sound of water is deafening. On the other side of the bridge is Luding City. The city backs the mountain, and the west gate blocks the bridge. The two enemy regiments guarding the city have built fortifications on the walls and slopes. Relying on natural disasters, they frantically shouted to the Red Army: "Come on, watch you fly!" "

The Red Fourth Regiment immediately launched a general attack, and the head and political commissar personally stood on the bridge to direct the battle. The trumpeter blew the horn and all the weapons fired together. The sound of guns and shouts shook the valley instantly. The second company served as a commando. Armed with spears, sabres and grenades, 22 heroes braved the enemy's dense bullets and climbed the chain and rushed to the other side. Behind them is the third company. Except for weapons, the soldiers each took a board and paved the bridge as they advanced.

As soon as the commandos rushed to the opposite side, the enemy set fire and the bridge was immediately surrounded by fire. At this critical moment, there came the shouts of the colonel and the political commissar: "Comrades! For the cause of the party, for the final victory, go! " Hearing the call of the party, the heroes became more desperate. They all rushed into the city like arrows through the blazing fire and fought fiercely with the enemies in the city. After two hours of fierce fighting, most of the enemies guarding the city were wiped out, and the rest fled in panic. The Red Fourth Regiment heroically captured Luding Bridge and won another decisive victory in the Long March.

The main force of the Red Army crossed the natural barrier Dadu River and went to the anti-Japanese front.

During the Long March, the Red Army, the Second Army and the Fourth Army crossed many snow-capped mountains. Mount Jin Jia, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, is the first snow-capped mountain climbed by the Central Red Army, with steep terrain and unpredictable weather. 1June, 935, the Red Fourth Regiment, the vanguard of the Red Army, overcame many obstacles and conquered this mountain. A few days later, the main force of the Central Red Army also climbed over this snowy mountain.

On the way to the Long March, the Red Army crossed five snow-capped mountains, namely: Jin Jia Mountain, also known as fairy mountain, located in the northwest of Baoxing County, Sichuan Province, which is a snow-capped mountain with an altitude of about 5,000 meters. The second big snow mountain that the Red Army climbed: Mengding Mountain. After a few days' rest in Zhuokeji, the Red Army climbed the third snow-capped mountain at an altitude of 4,800 meters: Daban Mountain. Then he climbed the fourth big snow mountain-Dagu Mountain. After that, the Red Army braved the wind and rain and crossed Liupan Mountain.
