How long did it take the Red Army to cross the Jin Jia Mountains in the Long March?

Jin Jia Mountain is the first snow-capped mountain that the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army climbed on foot in the Long March. On the afternoon of June 1935 and 12, the 2nd Division of the 4th Regiment of the Red Army Corps, led by Wang Kaixiang, the head of the regiment, and Yang Chengwu, the political commissar, overcame many difficulties and obstacles, which lasted about three days.

Finally, we successfully crossed the Jin Jia Mountains from Qiao Qi Township at the southern foot of Jin Jia Mountain, and met with the 74th regiment of the Red 25th Division at the mouth of Muchenggoukou in Dawei Township at the foot of the mountain. The unexpected encounter laid the foundation for the victory of the first and fourth armies of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants.

Extended data

There are four reasons why the Red Army chose to cross the Jin Jia Mountains in the Long March:

1, there are precedents in history. As early as A.D. 177 1 year, when Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty attacked Jinchuan, General A Gui led the troops to March and transported food and grass from the southern slope of Jin Jia Mountain. The route taken by the Red Army is the route taken by General Agui.

2. Implement the decision of "Luding Bridge Meeting". The Central Committee held the Luding Bridge Conference near Luding County. This meeting discussed the situation and tasks after the Dadu River, and decided the action line of the Red Army: the Central Red Army continued to go north to the northwest of Sichuan.

3. In order to better retain the revolutionary forces and get rid of the pursuers as soon as possible, we successfully opened up new base areas in the north, crossed the Jin Jia Mountains and finally reached northern Shaanxi.

4, easy to speed up the March. During the Red Army's Long March, there were few people on the front lines of snow-capped mountains and grasslands such as Baoxing and Dawei, and few Kuomintang troops were stationed. When the Red Army crosses Jin Jia Mountain, it can avoid densely populated areas, with little resistance, which is convenient for rapid northward advance.
