The Red Army is not afraid of arduous expeditions. Wanshui Qian Shan just casually thought of what's the next sentence?

First, the most tragic battle-Xiangjiang Campaign

It is tragic because after this battle, the number of the Central Red Army dropped sharply from more than 86,000 during the Long March to more than 30,000. The fighting took place in 1934, 1 65438+1October 25th to 65438+February1,and the fighting areas were both sides of Xiangjiang River in Daoxian County, Hunan Province and Quanzhou, Guangxi Province. In this campaign, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized his own troops and nearly 300,000 local warlords in an attempt to annihilate the Red Army in the areas east of Xiangjiang River and Lishui River.

Because of the wrong decision of the "Left" leaders in the party at that time, the strategic shift turned into a big move, which made the Red Army lose its magic weapon of flexibility. Although it broke through the Xiangjiang River, it also suffered the heaviest losses in the history of the Red Army. The fiasco of Xiangjiang Campaign made more Red Army commanders realize the harm of "Left" adventurism to the Party and the Red Army, which laid an important foundation for the subsequent Zunyi Conference.

Second, desperate to survive-a bloody battle in Dushu Town

This is a life-and-death battle of the Red 25 Army at the beginning of the Long March. The fighting took place in1October 26th 1934+065438+ Dushu Town, Fangcheng County, Henan Province. This battle can be said to be a collection of all unfavorable conditions: encirclement in front, pursuers behind, extremely unfavorable terrain, extremely bad weather, unprepared before the war, and rushing to fight.

There is only one advantage, that is, the heroism of the Red Army and the spirit of sacrifice regardless of life and death. From commanders and political commissars to ordinary soldiers, the vast number of commanders and soldiers fought hand-to-hand with the enemy, and finally broke through the encirclement and entered the Funiu Mountain area to continue on the road of the Long March.

Third, Mao Zedong's military career "proud pen"-Sidu Chishui

The word "Proud Pen" was told by Mao Zedong when British Marshal Montgomery visited China in 1960. The Battle of Sidu Chishui was the first battle commanded by Zunyi Conference after Mao Zedong established his leading position in the CPC Central Committee and the Red Army, which played an important role in Mao Zedong's military career.

Sidu Chishui occurred at the beginning of 1935, and the fighting area was mainly in Chishui River area at the junction of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. For more than three months, Mao Zedong commanded the Central Red Army. According to flexible strategy and tactics, fight if you win, and leave if you can't win. He shuttled between the banks of Chishui River, galloped among 400,000 enemy troops, and created soldiers in the movement.

After more than 40 battles, the Red Army successfully got rid of the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang army, created a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak, and fundamentally reversed the passive situation since the Long March.

5. "Dadu Bridge crosses the iron cable and is cold"-crossing the Dadu River and flying over Luding Bridge.

1935 10 At the end of the Long March, Mao Zedong wrote a magnificent poem, The Seven Laws Long March. The poem reads: "Jinsha River is warm in the clouds and cliffs, and Dadu Bridge is cold in the railings". The latter sentence describes two famous battles in the Long March of the Central Red Army.

The forced crossing of the Dadu River took place from May 24th to 25th. 1935. On the morning of 25th, Sun Jixian, the battalion commander of Red 1 Regiment 1 Battalion, led the "Seventeen Warriors" to cross the river from Anshunchang in a wooden boat under the bullets, which tore a gap in the defense line of Dadu River, which was regarded as a natural barrier by Kuomintang troops, and created favorable conditions for the Red Army to seize and occupy Luding Bridge on both sides of Dadu River.

The capture of Luding Bridge took place on May 29th. 1935. Before the battle, the Red Fourth Regiment, as the vanguard of the Red Army, marched 320 Li along the rugged mountain road on the west bank of the Dadu River for two and a half days to reach Luding Bridge. In the battle, 22 warriors braved the enemy's intensive artillery fire, climbed up the 13 suspension cable and stormed, and finally seized the cable bridge. Subsequently, the Red Army's follow-up troops captured Luding City and opened the channel for the Central Red Army to go north.

The Red Army crossed the Dadu River and captured the Luding Bridge, which shattered Chiang Kai-shek's dream of making the Red Army "the second in Shi Dakai".
