Long March Stories
The first one:
In the autumn of 1945, the Red Army entered the grassland. Since the three little comrades had gastrointestinal problems, the instructor asked the cooking squad leader to take care of them.
The three patients only walked twenty miles a day. When they arrived at the camp, the squad leader dug up grass roots and cooked them with highland barley noodles. In less than half a month, all the highland barley noodles were eaten. Hunger threatens them. Although the squad leader is looking for weeds and digging tree roots everywhere, how can he be full just by eating these? The squad leader watched them lose weight and couldn't close his eyes all night long.
One day, the squad leader was washing clothes by the river and suddenly saw a fish jumping out of the water. He quickly found a sewing needle and bent it into a hook, allowing the three comrades to eat fresh food. fish and drank fish soup. But a little comrade noticed that when they were eating fish, the monitor never ate. Later, the little comrade found that the squad leader was eating their leftover food, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Just as they were about to walk out of the grassland, the squad leader fainted from hunger. The three young comrades hurriedly went fishing and made soup, but the squad leader still sacrificed for them.
The second one:
It was a day in late autumn, and the sun was in the west. Comrade Chen Geng felt very tired from marching on uninhabited grassland for a long time and often suffered from hunger. This time he fell behind, leading the thin horse that was also tired, and walked forward step by step. Suddenly, I saw a small Red Army soldier in front of me. Like him, he also fell behind.
That little guy is only eleven or twelve years old. He has a small yellow face, a pair of big eyes, two thin lips, and a slightly turned-up nose. His feet are wearing broken straw sandals, which are green and red from the cold. Comrade Chen Geng walked up to him and said, "Kid, please get on the horse and ride for a while."
The kid put on a nonchalant look, stared at Comrade Chen Geng's thin face with beard, smiled slightly, and said with Speaking in Sichuan dialect:
"Old comrade, my physical strength is much stronger than yours, please ride on."
Comrade Chen Geng said in a commanding tone: "Ride for a while Let’s talk about the road later!”
The kid said stubbornly: “If you want me to compete with your horse, then let’s compete.” He straightened his waist and made a gesture of getting ready to run. .
"Then, let's go together."
"No. You go first, I have to wait for my companion."
Chen Geng The comrade was helpless, so he took out a small bag of highland barley noodles from his body, handed it to the kid, and said, "Eat it."
The kid pulled the bag of dry food on his body, patted it gently, and said: "Look, it's bulging. I have more than you."
Comrade Chen Geng was finally convinced by this kid, so he had to climb on the horse and walk forward. He was riding on the horse, and his mood couldn't calm down. From the kid he met just now, he thought of a series of children. From Shanghai, Guangzhou to the docks of Hong Kong, the poor children he had interacted with appeared in front of him one by one.
"No, I was deceived!" Comrade Chen Geng suddenly shouted, immediately turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly several times, and started running on the road he came from. By the time he found the kid, he had already fallen on the grass.
Comrade Chen Geng struggled to lift the kid onto the horse. His hand touched the kid's dry food bag. The bag was hard. What was it containing? He took it out and saw that it was an ox knee bone that was burnt black and had several teeth marks on it.
Comrade Chen Geng understands everything. At this moment, the kid stopped breathing.
Comrade Chen Geng hugged the kid and slapped himself hard: "Chen Geng, how can you be worthy of this little brother!"
The third one:
p>During the Long March, the Red Army was intercepted in front and pursued by troops behind. It also had to constantly fight against enemy planes conducting aerial reconnaissance and bombing. Although the Red Army's air defense weapons were extremely crude at that time, they still carried forward the spirit of winning over the superior with the inferior and daring to fight, actively carried out air defense operations, and shot down 6 enemy planes during the Long March.
Fourth:
On the Long March of the Red Army, touching stories happened one after another. I have read a story called "A Bag of Dry Food". It tells the story of Xiaolan, a 13-year-old Red Army soldier who finally got a bag of dry food when she was marching with the army. However, when she was crossing a bridge to take care of a wounded soldier, she accidentally dropped her bag of dry food into the river and was killed. The water washed away. In order to ensure that everyone had enough dry food to eat, she insisted on not telling her comrades. She pretended that nothing had happened, pulled out a lot of wild vegetables and stuffed them into her satchel, making it bulging. Soon her health failed. After the head nurse discovered that she was eating wild vegetables and "dry food" in her bag, everyone knew the truth. So everyone voluntarily gave her some dry food, so that she could feel the warmth of home. ...Although the story is small, its connotation is not small. These little details and stories allow us to see the outstanding qualities of the Red Army soldiers - not afraid of hardship, strong, selfless, enthusiastic... Xiaolan, she is only a 13-year-old girl, but she is as strong as an adult. Will, but know how to be considerate of others. When she was out of food, she could have stretched out her hands to ask for some from her comrades, but she did not do that. Instead, she chose to remain silent and suffer by herself.
At this moment, she only thought about her comrades and ignored her own difficulties; as for the seriously injured wounded, she could have left them and went on her way easily, but she did not do that. She took care of every wounded person carefully, No complaints, no regrets. For a little girl to be like this, one can imagine the excellent qualities of our great Red Army team.
There was an ordinary Red Army soldier named Xie Yixian. When he was crossing the grassland, he was given four kilograms of dry food. During the march, the soldiers saw the three hungry mother and son. Xiao Xie gave them his dry food bag without telling his teammates. He himself ate some wild vegetables and cold water every day to satisfy his hunger. In the end, due to lack of physical strength, , just left. It wasn't until the mother and son came to return the dry food bag with the word "Thank you" printed on it that the comrades in the army understood the whole story... After reading this story, my heart was extremely heavy! Xie Yixian clearly knows that in the vast grassland, even a small bag of grain is a life-saving "treasure", which means a person's life! However, even under such circumstances, he still resolutely gave his food to the mother; every day, he suffered from hunger and did not want to harm his teammates; even at the last moment of his life, he was still asking the mother and her son about their relationship. After hearing the answer "They are fine", he passed away with a smile on his face... His deep friendship with the people and his comrades deeply shocked me and made me I saw the "Long March Spirit" that has been engraved in our hearts for generations.
The Long March may already be too far away for our generation in the new century. We have never experienced such hardships and thrills, but this period of history still gives us countless food for thought. The immortal "Long March spirit" is worthy of our understanding and learning. Of course, in the new century, among our students, these "Long March Spirits" need to be carried forward in learning, on campus, in doing things, on the road of growth bit by bit, and in the construction of the motherland. carry forward. We must integrate these spirits into our own blood, let these treasures become a part of our lives, and make ourselves a qualified successor.
Our Chairman He
At noon on December 19, 1935, part of the main force of the Second Army led by He Long entered Yanshi Township from Guanzhu. Three soldiers wearing gray cloth uniforms and carrying short guns came to the third-bedroom courtyard and saw a woman hurriedly walking into her home with a child in her arms. The soldier followed him into the main room of her house. Seeing that her door was closed, he knocked gently 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 knock on the door, she was not very anxious, and the voice of the shout was very calm, so she opened the door. Seeing that there was an empty room in her house, the soldier asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think it would be okay to lend you this empty room to build a bunk for the night?" Although Ouyang Xiangyuan did not fully understand what they were saying, he knew that they were He wanted to borrow a house to live in, so he agreed with a smile on his face.
After a while, a soldier led a tall and burly man wearing a blue cloth gown and a mustache to the door of Ouyang Xiangyuan's house, followed by twenty or thirty people in uniforms. Soldiers in gray cloth uniforms and carrying short rifles stood neatly in two rows in the field. The man with the mustache told everyone: "We, the Red Army, are a team of the poor and seek liberation for the people. We have iron discipline. Everyone must be careful not to enter the bedrooms of young women." Then he continued, "We, the Red Army, are No matter where we go, we must care about and care for the people. Things in the people's homes cannot be moved without the owner's consent. Borrowed things must be returned. Damaged and lost things must be compensated according to the price. Only in this way can we gain the trust of the people and gain the trust of the people. Unite the masses to overthrow the traitor Chiang Kai-shek and overthrow Japanese imperialism."
Ouyang Xiangyuan could tell from the expressions of the soldiers that the mustache was a high official. Listening to his speech, he always thinks about the common people and believes that the Red Army is a good person. She walked to the yard with excitement and told others what the mustache said. She didn't go home until it was almost dark. She walked to the door of the hall and saw that a bunk was set up on the ground. The mustache and two other people were there. I read the map under the kerosene lamp and made gestures while reading. She wanted to know what kind of official that official was, so she walked outside the door and quietly asked a young soldier: "Who is that man of yours wearing a blue cloth gown and a beard?" the young soldier whispered softly. He told her: "It's our corps commander, Chairman He of the Soviet government. We all call him Mr. He." After hearing this, she muttered in her heart, it turned out that he was a high official, no wonder the soldiers listened to him politely.
She walked into the room, and a female warrior asked her to sit down very kindly, and chatted with her like sisters. During the conversation, she asked the female soldier: "Whose wife are you?" The female soldier told her readily: "I am the lover of Comrade He Long. I am staying at your house tonight. It is really troublesome for you." She knew that she lived in Her family was Chairman He Long, a high-ranking official of the Red Army, and his family. He said embarrassedly: "This house is not good. It has not been cleaned up properly. I'm really sorry for you." The female soldier said, "After the war is over, the poor will have good houses to live in." "
Early the next morning, the troops were leaving. Some soldiers were packing and some were cleaning. A soldier walked up to Ouyang Xiangyuan's sister-in-law Lei Qingju (who lived opposite her) and said repeatedly Asked if anything was damaged or lost, Lei Qingju said: "There is only a wooden washbasin missing.
After a while, the soldier 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 disciplines of the Red Army are all stipulated by Chairman He. You must accept it." "When Chairman He and the soldiers left, the crowd bid farewell with tears. The soldiers also looked back from time to time to say goodbye.
Decades have passed, and Ouyang Xiangyuan has not Forgot the "Chairman He" back then. In 1956, when she saw the hanging portrait of the top ten marshals of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, she recognized Chairman He who lived in her home at a glance and said happily: "Look. , our Chairman He returned to Yanshan and came 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 following them and searching for them in an attempt to eliminate them in the Long March. On the way. At noon on December 21, some of the Sixth Army Corps heading from Gaosha to Huayuan were resting in the Lijiadu area, and some were on the way. Although the soldiers' heads were camouflaged with branches and green leaves, the Kuomintang planes were still there. After discovering the target, he frantically dropped 6 bombs. 20 soldiers died gloriously on the spot and dozens of soldiers were injured.
Wang Kangyuan, who was only 12 years old at the time, was driving his cattle home when a Red Army soldier appeared. Seeing this, he hurriedly ran over and pushed Wang Kangyuan to the ground, covering him with his own body. Wang Kangyuan was safe, but the soldier was bleeding profusely. When Wang Kangyuan's uncle found out, he sacrificed himself for the Red Army soldiers. Moved by the spirit of saving lives, in order to repay the life-saving grace of the Red Army soldiers, he took the risk to bury the remains of the martyrs in an open space in the Serpentine Mountain together with Li Mingsheng, Liu Dabing and others. However, not long after the Red Army left, some local tyrants came to the rescue. The evil gentry had evil intentions and said, "The place where the Red Army is buried is a 'feng shui treasure' and the 'dragon vein' of Lijiadu." Now that the "Dragon Vein" has been dug out, the "Dragon God" is uneasy. Only by digging out the bodies of the Red Army and throwing them into the river can the "Dragon Vein" be preserved and the "Feng Shui" restored. "In order to smash the conspiracy of the local tyrants and evil gentry, poor farmer Deng Chengzhu and others moved the coffins of the Red Army martyrs overnight to the rolling pines of Changling, and planted green pines and cypresses around them. Wang Kangyuan, who was saved by the Red Army, goes to the martyrs' grave every Tomb Sweeping Day. After he became the party branch secretary of the Xizhong Brigade in 1972, he actively initiated and under the leadership of the commune party committee, led the cadres and masses of the brigade and Lijiadu to renovate the martyrs' tomb, and erected a martyrs' monument in front of the tomb with the inscription " The "Tomb of the Long March Martyrs" has six large buildings, with two couplets engraved on both sides, one is "Greatness in life, glory in death", and the other is "Inherit the aspirations of the martyrs and be a revolutionary forever". Dongkou County Party Committee and County Government. The tomb of the martyrs has been used as a base for patriotism education in the county. For decades, cadres, workers, farmers, and students have often visited the tomb to pay homage to the martyrs, learn from them, inherit their legacy, and contribute to the construction of a socialist country.
China Broadcasting Network, Beijing, September 30 News Seventy years ago, thousands of female Red Army soldiers embarked on a long march. Among the female soldiers of the Red Army, there was a little girl who was only 11 years old. She carried a thread blanket, a flute at her waist, and held a wooden stick in her hand. She sang and played to encourage everyone. She was the youngest female Red Army soldier during the Long March - Wang Xinlan.
Wang Xinlan, 1924. Born in a wealthy family in Xuanhan, Sichuan, her uncle Wang Weizhou was a well-known early member of the Communist Party of China. Under the influence of his uncle, Wang Xinlan's two brothers and two sisters joined the Communist Party when Wang Xinlan was 7 years old. At that time, because she was small and could not easily attract the attention of the white bandits, the party organization often asked her to deliver secret documents.
In 1933, when the Fourth Red Army entered Sichuan, the "Eastern Sichuan Guerrilla Army" led by Wang Weizhou was reorganized into the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. He served as commander of the 33rd Army. At that time, Wang Xinlan was only 9 years old. Although he was young, he also understood a lot of revolutionary principles under the influence of his family. The Red Army was about to march, and only Wang Xinlan and the sickly one were left at home. Mother. Seeing Wang Xinlan sitting on pins and needles all day long, her 15-year-old sister and female Red Army soldier Wang Xinguo noticed her sister's thoughts and knew that she wanted to follow the Red Army. So, with the encouragement of her sister Wang Xinguo, Wang Xinlan plucked up the courage to sign up for the Red Army.
My mother, who understood the righteousness well, was particularly pleased with this, but was worried that the Red Army would not accept Wang Xinlan because she was too young.
Xu Liqing, then director of the Political Department of the Fourth Red Army, received them. . When he saw Wang Xinlan wearing two braids and not taller than a rifle, he smiled and asked, "What can you do at such a young age?" "
Wang Xinlan was afraid that the leader of the Red Army would underestimate her, so she loudly said: "I can do anything! "
Director Xu laughed heartily when he saw her frank look: "Oh? Can do anything? Then tell me what you can do. "
"Okay! After hearing the chief's words, Wang Xinlan became more energetic: "I can write, dance, play, and sing!" "As she said this, she wrote a few words on the ground with her hand for Xu Liqing to read.
At this time, her sister Wang Xinguo also supported her: "Chief, please accept my sister!" Despite her young age, she has been working for the party for several years. "She told Xu Liqing like a treasure trove of information that Wang Xinlan had delivered to the party over the past few years. Xu Liqing nodded repeatedly while listening: "Well, not bad, not bad.
"After listening to Wang Xinguo attentively, Xu Liqing turned to Wang Xinlan and said: "Little sister, it's not that the Red Army doesn't want you, it's just that you are too young..."
After hearing this, there was no hope again, and Wang Xinlan initiated Child’s temper: “Little? What's wrong with Xiao? Whoever is born to fight has not learned it bit by bit. Although I am young, I learn things quickly! "
Seeing that Wang Xinlan was very determined to join the army, Xu Liqing finally agreed: "Okay, then you can come over tomorrow! Wang Xinlan immediately jumped up with excitement. With a "yes", Wang Xinlan pulled her sister and ran out. Xu Liqing suddenly remembered something and shouted to them: "Does your mother agree?" "I agreed a long time ago!" "A happy answer floated in from outside the door.
After the brothers and sisters entrusted their mother to the local Soviet organization, Wang Xinlan reported to the Fourth Red Army early the next morning. Wang Xinguo was assigned to Wang Xinlan worked in the Propaganda Committee of the Political Department of the Fourth Red Army, and Wang Xinlan was arranged to work as a propagandist in the propaganda team under the committee. As soon as they arrived in the propaganda team, the sisters began to write programs and write slogans. On the Long March, Wang Xinlan and his comrades traveled through mountains and ice climbing. Wo Xue, no matter how much hardship she endured, never complained about being tired, and never fell behind. However, Wang Xinlan was indeed too young. When climbing the snow-capped mountains, she climbed up by pulling the horse's tail; when crossing the grassland, she climbed up. Sometimes she has to lie on the shoulders of her big brother in the Red Army. Despite this, whenever she has the opportunity, Wang Xinlan will stand in the wind and stand on the roadside to sing and dance for her comrades. Little Red Army Wang Xinlan is always there. The young feet completed the 25,000-mile Long March and successfully arrived in northern Shaanxi with the large army
After the Red Army’s Long March, what should they do with the wounded Red Army soldiers who were injured in the counter-campaign against “encirclement and suppression”? Who will take care of them? During interviews in Ruijin, Yudu, and Xinfeng along the Long March Road, reporters found many clues.
According to historical records, after the main force of the Red Army left the Central Soviet Area, about 7,000 wounded people were left behind. After treatment, about half were discharged from the hospital and were recruited into independent divisions and regiments, while the other half were evacuated to people's homes for shelter. At that time, many wounded wrote in blood, "I will not leave the army even if I die, and immediately go to the front line to fight the enemy to the end." "The oath. It was organizationally impossible for the wounded to go to the front line again, and thousands of wounded were urgently evacuated and resettled in remote mountainous areas.
Shaxing District of Yudu County was a model district for the protection and resettlement of wounded Red Army soldiers. Among them, 12 wounded Red Army soldiers lived in the home of Liu Fati. Unfortunately, Aunt Liu has passed away. The reporter found her son, 81-year-old Zhu Shaoming.
Zhu Shaoming said: "My father is a martyr of the Red Army. , my mother has a particularly deep affection for the Red Army. I was only seven or eight years old at the time, but I still remember the name of a wounded Red Army soldier named Zhu Jiacai. The mother hid the wounded man in the cellar and quietly brought him in during mealtime. A year later, 10 of the injured were basically able to walk. We have 6 children in our family, we have to take care of 12 wounded people, and we have to farm. My mother is very hard. ”
The reporter followed Zhu Shaoming’s younger brother Zhu Shaocai, starting from the town and walking along the winding mountain road for 30 minutes to find the cellar where the wounded Red Army soldiers were hidden. The cellar is on a low hillside. It collapsed and was covered with shrubs and weeds. Standing on the hillside, the reporter thought, what kind of power allowed Mrs. Liu Fati to support this special home alone in such difficult days? A monument should be erected here. : A great mother once lived here!
Continuing the interview, I found that there was a small mountain village with only three families in Yudu County, called Anshan. , Liu Yicai and Zhong Guichun were hiding in a cave next to Aunt Yang's house. At that time, there was only one and a half loads of millet left in the house. Aunt Yang gave the wounded Red Army soldiers a meal of rice porridge every day, while she and her grandson ate sweet potatoes and taro every day. To satisfy their hunger, Aunt Yang often went to the mountain to collect Chinese herbal medicine. Unfortunately, Anshan remained intact, but due to the construction of the reservoir, the reporter could no longer find Aunt Yang and her descendants.
In Le Village, Town, Xinfeng Youshan, the reporter finally found a living old lady named Guo Lianhua, who is 93 years old. According to the people, she is a traffic officer for the southern Gansu guerrillas and often works as a traffic officer. Her husband, Lin Yuliang, who took care of the wounded in the Red Army, was also a martyr in the Red Army. Facing the reporters, the old lady's smile was so kind. My heart welled up with deep respect. I sincerely wish that Aunt Guo and all the ladies who took care of the wounded in the Red Army are still alive. Healthy and Longevity
1. Flying to capture the Luding Bridge
On May 25, 1935, after the First Army forcibly crossed the Dadu River at Anshun Field, they had to use only a few small boats to cross the Dadu River. It would take a month at the earliest for tens of thousands of Red Army troops to cross the river, but the Kuomintang troops were chasing after them. On the morning of May 26, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Wang Jiaxiang, Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen, and Luo Ronghuan. After Luo Ruiqing's report, the decision to seize Luding Bridge was immediately made. The first division of the Red Army led by Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen and the cadre regiment led by Chen Geng and Song Renqiong were the right route army, consisting of the central column and the 1st, 3rd, and 5th troops. , the 9th Army crossed the river and captured Luding Bridge. The Fourth Regiment of the Second Red Division led by Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu of the Left Army advanced forward. On May 28, the Fourth Red Regiment received an order from the First Red Army: "Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu: The Military Commission called and restricted the Left Route Army to seize Luding Bridge tomorrow. You must use the highest marching speed and resolute maneuvering to complete this glorious mission.
In this battle, you must break the previous record of capturing Daozhou and the fifth regiment's record of running 160 miles in one day to capture Yaxi." After receiving the order, the Red Fourth Regiment marched the 240-mile mountain road day and night, and unexpectedly appeared in Lu on the morning of the 29th. On the west bank of the Ding Bridge, there was an exchange of fire with the enemy.
At that time, the enemy had removed about 80 meters of the bridge deck of the more than 100-meter-long Luding Bridge, and deployed a company of machine guns and artillery on the east bridge head high ground. Forming intensive firepower, the Luding Bridge was tightly sealed. At noon, the Fourth Red Regiment held a cadre meeting in the Shaba Catholic Church to conduct combat mobilization, and organized 23 soldiers led by company commander Liao Dazhu and instructor Wang Haiyun to seize the bridge. Commando. At four o'clock in the afternoon, 23 warriors were armed with submachine guns, sabers on their backs, and dozens of grenades on their waists. They braved the hail of bullets and climbed on the bare iron chains to pounce on the east bridge. They followed closely behind, carrying guns on their backs, holding wooden boards in one hand, and holding iron chains in the other. As they advanced, they laid the bridge planks. When the warriors climbed to the middle of the bridge, the enemy set off a fire at the east bridge head in an attempt to stop the Red Army with fierce fire. Seize the bridge. Facing the sudden flames, the warriors shouted, "Comrades, this is the last moment of victory. Take courage and rush over! Don't be afraid of fire, rush! The enemy is defeated, rush!" Liao Dazhu jumped He stepped onto the bridge and rushed towards the east bridge. The warriors rushed up, drew their sabers, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy. At this time, political commissar Yang Chengwu led his team to rush across the east bridge, repelling the enemy's counterattack, and occupied the area. In Luding City, the fire at the bridge was quickly put out. The entire battle took only two hours, and the Luding Bridge was captured in a thrilling manner, shattering Chiang Kai-shek's pursuit of the south and the north, and turning the Red Army into the second by relying on the natural danger of the Dadu River. Shi Dakai's dream. Luding Bridge thus became an important milestone during the Long March of the Communist Party of China, laying a solid foundation for the rendezvous of the Red Army's first, second and fourth fronts of great historical significance, and finally went north to northern Shaanxi to end the Long March. It has written an immortal chapter in the history of the Chinese revolution, with the magnificent praise of "Thirteen iron chains split the road to the Republic of China". Among the ten founding marshals of New China, seven of them passed by during the Long March. Arrived at Huding Bridge.
At that time, on the Luding Bridge after a fierce battle, Marshal Liu Bocheng once stamped his feet heavily on the bridge board three times and said with emotion, "Luding Bridge, Luding Bridge, how much energy we have spent on you, how much energy we have spent on you." With all our hard work, we have won, we have won!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu De wrote in his memories of the Long March the poem "Thousands of miles of Yangtze River still remembers the danger of Luguan", which fully explains the Red Army's Long March
