At noon on December 19th, 1935, part of the main force of the Second Army Corps led by He Long entered Rock Township from Guanzhu. Three soldiers wearing gray uniforms and carrying short guns came to the courtyard of three rooms and saw a woman holding a child in her arms and entering her home in a panic. The soldier followed her into her room. Seeing that her door was closed, he gently knocked on the door and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be afraid. Our Red Army serves the people. Please open the door. We have something to discuss with you." The young woman's name is Ouyang Xiangyuan, and her husband is working as a porter outside. When she heard the knocking at the door, she was not very anxious, and the voice of shouting was very calm, so she opened the door. The soldier saw that there was still an empty room in her house, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's ok to borrow your empty room for a night?" Although Ouyang Xiangyuan didn't fully understand what they said, he knew that they wanted to borrow a house to live in, so he smiled in agreement.
after a while, a soldier led a tall and burly man with a blue gown and a moustache to Ouyang Xiangyuan's door, followed by twenty or thirty soldiers wearing gray uniforms and carrying short guns, standing neatly in two rows in the Wo Ping. The eight-character beard told everyone: "Our Red Army is a poor team, striving for liberation for the people. We have iron discipline, so we must pay attention to it. We can't go into young women's bedrooms." Then he went on to say, "Wherever we go, the Red Army should care about and cherish the masses. Things in people's homes cannot be moved without the consent of their owners. We must return what we borrowed, and we must pay compensation according to the price for damaged and lost things. Only in this way can we gain the trust of the masses and unite them to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's traitors and Japanese imperialism."
Ouyang Xiangyuan can see from the soldiers' expressions that the moustache is a high official. Listen to every word he says, think of the people, and think that the Red Army is a good man. She went to the yard with excitement and told others what the moustache said. She didn't go home until it was getting dark. She went to the door of the main room and saw the shop set up on the ground. The moustache and two other people looked at the map under the kerosene lamp and gesticulated with lively gesticulations. She wanted to know what the official was, so she went outside the door and quietly asked a little soldier, "Who is that with a blue gown and a beard?" The little soldier told her softly, "It's our head of the army and Chairman He of the Soviet government. We all call him Boss He." After listening to this, she muttered to herself, it turned out that he was a big official. No wonder the soldiers listened to him in a proper way.
When she went into the room, a female soldier kindly asked her to sit down and started a family relationship with her like a sister. During the conversation, she asked the female soldier, "Whose wife are you?" The female warrior told her very quickly: "I am the lover of Comrade He Long. It is really troublesome for you to stay at your house tonight." Knowing that the family of Chairman He Long, a senior official of the Red Army, lived in her house, she said shyly, "This house is not good and I'm sorry for not cleaning it up properly." The female soldier said, "After the war, the poor will have a good house to live in."
Early the next morning, the troops were leaving. Some soldiers were packing, while others were cleaning. One soldier went to Ouyang Xiangyuan's sister-in-law Lei Qingju (who lived opposite her) and repeatedly asked if there was anything damaged or lost. Lei Qingju said, "I didn't see only one wooden washbasin." The soldier soon took a copper washbasin and said to her, "If you can't find it, use this washbasin. If you find it, keep it as a souvenir. The discipline of the Red Army is stipulated by President He. You must accept it." When President He and the soldiers left, the crowd sent them away with tears in their eyes, and the soldiers < P > turned back from time to time and said goodbye.
after several decades, Ouyang Xiangyuan has not forgotten the "congratulations to President" of that year. In 1956, when she saw the hanging pictures of the Chinese people and the top ten marshals, she immediately recognized President He who lived in her home, and said happily, "Look, our President He has come back to Yanshan again and has come to our home again."
Respectable Martyrs
Since the Second and Sixth Army Corps withdrew from the revolutionary base areas of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou, the Kuomintang troops have been tracking and searching for them in an attempt to wipe them out on the way to the Long March. At noon on December 21st, the Sixth Army Corps from Gaosha to the Garden was resting in Lijiadu area or on the way. Although the soldiers were disguised with branches and green leaves on their heads, the Kuomintang plane still found the target and dropped six bombs. Twenty soldiers died gloriously on the spot and dozens of soldiers were injured.
At that time, Wang Kangyuan, who was only 12 years old, was driving his cattle home. When a Red Army soldier saw this, he rushed over. The corpse threw Wang Kangyuan to the ground and covered him with his own body. Wang Kangyuan was safe and sound, but the soldier was bleeding profusely. Wang Rende, Wang Kangyuan's uncle, was deeply moved by the Red Army soldiers' spirit of saving lives. In order to repay the Red Army soldiers for saving their lives, he ventured to bury the martyrs' bodies in an open space on Snake Mountain with more than 2 poor farmers such as Li Mingsheng and Liu Dabing. However, shortly after the Red Army left, some local tyrants and evil gentry incited with ulterior motives, saying, "The place where the Red Army was buried is a treasure house of geomantic omen, where Li Jiadu's Long Mai is located. Now that the' Long Mai' has been dug up, the' Dragon God' is uneasy. Only by digging up the body of the Red Army and throwing it into the river can we save the' Long Mai' and restore the' Feng Shui'. " In order to crush the intrigues of local tyrants and evil gentry, poor peasants Deng Chengzhu and others moved the coffin of the Red Army martyrs to the rolling Changling boundary of Songtao overnight and planted pines and cypresses around it. Wang Kangyuan, who was saved by the Red Army, goes to the tomb of the martyrs to pay homage every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day. In 1972, after he became the secretary of the Party branch of Xizhong Brigade, he actively initiated and led the cadres and masses of this brigade and Lijiadu to renovate the tomb of martyrs, erected a monument to martyrs in front of the tomb, and carved six big buildings of "Tomb of the Martyrs of the Long March", with two couplets engraved on both sides, one is "the greatness of life, the glory of death" and the other is "to inherit the martyrs' ambition and be revolutionaries forever" Dongkou County Party Committee and county government have taken the tomb of martyrs as the patriotic education base of the county.
Over the past ten years, cadres, workers, farmers and students have often gone to the graves to pay their respects, learn from the martyrs' spirit, inherit the martyrs' legacy and make contributions to building a socialist country.
Pay back the debts of blood and tears
In the old society, the peasants were oppressed and exploited by local tyrants and evil gentry, and they were dying. The Red Army cracked down on local tyrants and evil gentry and sought liberation for poor peasants, so it won their sincere support.
There is a local tyrant named Fu Shengting in the courtyard of Shafang in Yanshan Township. He has a pockmarked face, is overbearing and cruel, and oppresses the poor. People call him Sheng Pockmarked. His five sons are all fierce as tigers, and the masses call them "five tigers". In 1931, Pockmarked Shengting prepared to build a new house, and found a master from Xinhua to burn bricks for him. The poor master Fang worked hard, not only did he not get any wages, but he also subsidized his meals. In a rage, he knocked down the brick buttress and went back to Xinhua full of resentment. In 1935, he joined the Red Army. On December 19th, the army camped in Yanshan Mountain. He
reported to the head of the army what happened to the Fujia family and how the local farmers were bullied by the Fujia family. The head agreed that he would take three soldiers to settle accounts with Shengmazi. They took the path to the courtyard of Shafang, and caught Pockmarked Shengting who was about to escape. When the people nearby heard that the Red Army had caught the evil Shengpoci, they were so happy that they rushed to tell each other and exposed the evil of Shengpoci to the head of the Red Army. The head sent a soldier to lead the poor peasants to the home of Shengpoci, opened the granary of the Fu family and distributed the food to the masses. The next day, when the Red Army left Yanshan, it took Shengmazi < P > to lixi Bridge in Suining County for execution.
The Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army executed Wang Wenxiang in Shijiang, who had always been involved in litigation and extortion. He suppressed Yuan Kuan, a bully and bandit known as one of the "three kings and five tyrants" on the streets of gaosha town: Yin Chengzai, a local tyrant and rich man in Shibei Township, Deng Xingfang, a criminal in Huayuan Township, and Deng Chenzhuo, a reactionary insurance director who refused to distribute food to the Red Army, were taken to Wuyang, Suining County for execution. The masses clapped their hands and thanked the Red Army for vindicating themselves and paying off the debts of blood and tears.
military and civilian fish and water
Before the Red Army arrived at the mouth of the cave, Kuomintang reactionaries and local reactionaries made many rumors, and many farmers hid in the mountains. The Red Army's practical actions of respecting the discipline and loving the people relieved the concerns of the masses. Soon, everyone came back to solve the problem of food and shelter for the Red Army soldiers, and they were very affectionate.
At first, many shops in Yanshan Street were tightly closed. Later, I heard the Red Army soldiers affectionately shouting, "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers. Our Red Army is a poor team and won't take your things. If you have anything to eat, just sell it to us and we will pay the price." Some people can see from the crack of the door that the Red Army soldiers behave themselves and squat in the street, and no one knocks on the shop door. So some took out the boiled sweet potatoes and sold them at the door. The soldiers didn't bargain, they said as much as they could, and only paid a lot more. After the news spread, all the shops were opened, and all the edible things were put out. All the edible things in the nearby people's homes were sold on the street. Several soldiers walked up to Yu Lin Yuan granny and whispered, "Auntie, it's too cold. We want to take shelter from the wind and cold at your home tonight." The aunt welcomed her with a big smile. The soldiers put down their backpacks and began to clean up and fetch water and firewood. In the evening, Mrs. Lin saw several soldiers posing with white cloth under the lamp. She guessed that the cloth was cut to wrap the feet, so she called the daughter-in-law of "confinement" to help together. The mother and daughter stayed up all night and made 1 pairs of cloth socks, just one for each person. The next day, when they left, the soldiers thanked Mrs. Lin again and again and gave him some white cloth, a printed quilt cover and two round porcelain jars as a souvenir.
The touching story of the Red Army caring for and caring for the masses deeply touched the masses, and the broad masses of peasants cared for and cared for the Red Army from all aspects. Qiu Guocai, a sewing master from Shijiang, together with 11 other masters, rushed to make 12 military caps overnight. The Red Army gave each of them a silver dollar, and they were very excited. You said a word to me and made up a poem: "The Red Army came to Shijiang Town and beat up local tyrants and evil gentry. The rich man was frightened and frightened, and the poor people were greatly inspired. The army and the people worked as military hats all night and worked together to kill the enemy." Aunt Deng and her daughter-in-law, Zeng Donge, in Majiayuan Garden, were weeding in the hillside soil. When they heard a faint groan in the mountain, Aunt Deng immediately put down her hoe and went to look for it in the mountain. Sure enough, I found a Red Army soldier (Liuyang) who was about 2 years old and wore an octagonal hat lying on the ground. She touched her forehead with her hand, which was very hot, and she saw that the wound on his right foot had begun to ooze pus. She thought that her relatives should not be allowed to freeze to death, die of pain or starve to death in the wild, and she must find a way to save him. She called her daughter-in-law to help the wounded back home, let him lie on her bed, and her daughter-in-law took out her husband's old blue cloth clothes and changed them for him. Aunt told the wounded to rest at ease, pretend to be dumb if anyone comes, and ask her daughter-in-law to recognize him as her husband (her husband is a porter in Guizhou). After the arrangement, the aunt went up the mountain to collect medicine every day and took good care of it. After a week, the soldier's injury was basically cured. He told the aunt to catch up with the troops. On the day he left, his aunt got up at first light to prepare food for him on the way. The soldier said to his aunt, "Aunt, you are my mother. I will always remember your kindness. After the victory of the revolution, I will definitely visit your old man." Reluctantly, wave goodbye.
Follow the Red Army
The masses personally feel that the Red Army is their own team, the backing for turning over and seeking liberation, and the road of the Red Army is their own road to liberation. As a result, many poor farmers have sent their children to be Red Army, and young and middle-aged people are even more enthusiastic, demanding to follow the Red Army. The poor peasants in Lijiadu, seeing that 2 Red Army soldiers had died gloriously under the bombardment of enemy planes, were filled with anger to avenge the martyrs and a strong desire to seek liberation for themselves, and actively signed up for the Red Army. Deng Xingyi, Deng Zhengren and Wu Laoshai from Xizhong Village, Deng Xingkai from Blind Tian Village, Liu Laoxi from Xinxing Village, Chen Songqing from Mujing Village and Luo Yu from Shenzhen all followed the Red Army. Zou Yuhe and Wang Shunsheng, two sewing masters in Dongkou Street, were invited to the garden to make uniforms for the Red Army. Deeply moved by the spirit of the Red Army, they resolutely followed the Red Army on the Long March.
according to the preliminary statistics of the county after liberation, there were more than 2 people who followed the red army that year. They contributed to the revolution. Among them: revolutionary martyrs who died on the way to the Long March without paying their ambitions, national heroes who shed their last drop of blood on the anti-Japanese front, and people's heroes who have devoted their lives to the liberation and socialist construction of the people of China, such as Wang Zhengui of Shijiang Town, who was 3 years old and joined the Sixth Corps Security Bureau after joining the Red Army. During his 17-year military career, he was awarded the title of "People's Hero", "Liberation of North China" and "Liberation of Northwest China". In 1952, he transferred to work in Xinjiang, retired in 1965, and returned to his hometown in Dongkou in January 1966. He wrote revolutionary memoirs such as "crossing the Jinsha River at night", "crossing the snow-capped mountains" and "talking about the past in the spring and autumn for sixty years"
During the Long March, touching stories happened one after another. One story I know better is called A Bag of Dry Food. It tells the story of Xiaolan, a 13-year-old Red Army boy, who finally got a bag of dry food when he was marching with the army, but accidentally dropped his bag of dry food into the river and washed it away while crossing a bridge to take care of a wounded man. She insisted on not telling them because everyone had enough dry food to eat. In order to pretend that nothing happened, she pulled out a lot of wild vegetables and stuffed them into her satchel, which was bulging. Soon her health was failing. Only after the head nurse found out that she was eating wild vegetables and "dry food" in her satchel did everyone know the truth of the matter, so everyone gave her a little dry food, which made her feel the warmth of home ... Although the story is small, the connotation is not small. These little details and stories can reflect the excellent qualities of the Red Army soldiers-not afraid of hardship, strong, selfless and enthusiastic ... Xiaolan, who is only a 13-year-old girl, has a strong will like a boy; But you know how to be considerate of others. When she has no food, she can reach out and ask her comrades for some. She didn't do this. She chose silence and didn't tell anyone. At this moment, she only thought about the interests of her comrades and ignored her own difficulties. For the seriously injured, she could have left them to fend for themselves, but she didn't. She took good care of a wounded person without complaint or regret. A Xiaolan is still like this. It is conceivable that the quality of my great Red Army team has changed.
