Chapter 191 finally turned over
Some foreigners saw film and television books and other materials climbing snow-capped mountains during the Long March, and were very curious about one of the phenomena: Why did they tremble coldly but would rather die than strip off their dead comrades' clothes to keep them cold? They even thought it was very stupid, and even thought it was a very stupid behavior and idea. In this regard, I can only respond with another question: In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, what supports the volunteers to defeat the United Nations when weapons and equipment are not at all levels?
The chapter made the best response incisively: Chinese people can sacrifice everything for their motherland and comrades, including their lives; while soldiers from some countries can spare no effort for their lives, including their motherland. This is the best answer, and it is also the essence of a certain country that has been studying for decades but has not been able to find out.
Of course, the concept that human death is the most important reason in traditional Chinese thought is also.
"Instructor, do you think this is a foreign country?"
Because before climbing the snow mountain, someone joked that there was something behind the snow mountain. Hu Yingze smiled and replied: After climbing the snow mountain, he went abroad and everyone can travel abroad.
Now, I have crossed the Zhongdian Snow Mountain. Because the atmosphere is dull and it is not conducive to the marching, some comrades chat in a low voice.
The comrades laughed, but at just a moment, the wind suddenly blew up everywhere, and the ice and snow danced, making people dizzy. The bamboo hats, cloaks, umbrellas, etc. were all broken. In addition, the air was thin, the breathing was difficult, and the troops had no place to hide. They even wanted to stop and didn't dare to stop, fearing that when they stopped, someone would fall down. They were even more afraid that they would accidentally fall into the cracks of the ice of the snow pit.
"Boom! Boom! Boom"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a sudden sound of shelling from behind.
Could it be that the Kuomintang reactionaries were chasing? They dared to climb over the Snow Mountains, and the Kuomintang army did not dare to pursue them. They turned their heads and looked back while walking, but because they were at the back of the second snow mountain at this time, they could not see anything.
However, soon, the ice and snow turned into storms a few days later, everyone realized that the commander of the corps, Zhengxian Wang, who was leading the follow-up troops, was about to arrive at the top of the Zhongdian Daxue Mountain. Seeing that the ice and snow were too heavy, they ordered a mortar to fire in the sky with fierce firepower. This is a real thing, recorded in the county annals.
The Zhongdian area is located in northwest Yunnan and belongs to the Kangzang Plateau. It has snow all year round and is sparsely populated. Most of the local residents are Tibetans, with language barriers and very difficult transportation.
Everyone was hungry and moved to Zhongdian City, which was more than 3,000 meters above sea level, which was the location of Guihua Temple, the largest Lama Temple in Yunnan.
At this time, in addition to the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, the army also specifically stipulated that the three prohibitions are allowed to stay in the scripture hall, destroy scriptures, and touch the altar of the gods.
It has to be said that they have obtained the wealth left by the Central Red Army. Although the language is not clear and everyone seems to be very devastating, no matter the local people or the lamas, whenever they see the five-pointed red star in the Red Army cap, they will smile and take out their best things to receive the Red Army. To be honest, they don’t have much to take out, but for the Red Army, who is already extremely tired, it is definitely a timely help.
After a little rest, the troops left Yunnan and entered Kangding area. The masses brought noodles and barley flour, and welcomed the Red Army all thanks to the Central Red Army.
As an activist, Zhang Qingshan participated in the activist meeting held by the 26th Legion. At the meeting, Political Commissar Wang Zhen further talked about the current situation, met in the northwest and established a national anti-Japanese base, great significance and combat tasks, which greatly encouraged the morale of all commanders and fighters.
That is at this time, the Red Second and Sixth Corps were divided into two columns to advance towards Ganzi. The Second Corps was the left column, which was Jingderong, Ba'an and Baiyu. On June 30, he joined the 30th Army of the Fourth Front Army in Rongbacha. The Sixth Corps was the right column, which passed through Dingxiang, Daocheng, Physical and Chemistry, and Zhanhua. On June 22, he went to Pu Yulong, Ganzi to meet with the General Command of the Fourth Front Army. He met Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng, Zhang Guotao, General Command personnel and some senior cadres of the Fourth Front Army.
The Red Sixth Army, where the assault company was located, continued to head north, crossed the last snow-capped mountain 75 kilometers up and down, and entered Zangba.
From crossing the Jinsha River to entering Zangba, the marching road was full of high mountains and steep mountains and Yangzang Road. We crossed three snow-capped mountains and three small snow-capped mountains. Although the superiors took various measures, many comrades still died on the snow-capped mountains.
Some comrades suddenly fell down as they walked, and the comrades next to them rushed to pull them. As a result, because of their own fatigue and other reasons, they not only failed to hold on, but instead fell down. As the snow slope rolled down, when everyone hurried to the two of them, they found that they had sacrificed.
Even so, who could see his comrades falling down and remain indifferent? In this way, more and more sacrifices were made. In the end, some comrades saw that they could not walk anymore, and probably could not cross the snow mountain, and they did not want to implicate other comrades. They gritted their teeth and simply rushed to the side of the road, then rolled down the snow slope to the mountain, and sacrificed themselves
It was so tragic that it made people heart-wrenching. As far as Zhang Qingshan knew, his fellow townsman Xiang Yongxing died on the snowy mountain: At that time, Xiang Yongxing was injured on the left thigh and was carried by a stretcher. He probably could not get out of the snowy mountain. He didn't want to implicate other comrades. He turned off the stretcher while everyone was not paying attention. He rolled down the snowy slope, and shouted, "Comrades, I must carry out the revolution to the end." All the listeners cried and cried.
The most incredible thing is that the squad leader of the kitchen squad of the assault company actually climbed over the snow-capped mountain area with great energy. You know, when Lao Wang was in Zhongdian Snow Mountain, he almost died after climbing to half a day, but no one expected that others would be more and more difficult, but he was better and more and more energetic. Even the two soldiers who were originally sent to take care of him had to rely on Lao Wang to support him to come over the snow-capped mountain. He took himself as an example and encouraged everyone to climb over the snow-capped mountain, which was victory. In this regard, his own explanation is: I have experienced many battles and adapted more and more, and naturally I would be better than you guys. I got a roll of eyes and envy, and set an example for everyone and encouraged morale.
Crossing the snow-capped mountains and reaching Jiawa.
"Company Commander, it's not good, there are many people coming in front of you!"
Just as we were all standing up and turning to look at the snow-capped mountains, we looked at the long team on the snow-capped mountains, we felt a lot of emotion, but there was one thing in common: we finally defeated these snow-capped mountains!
When everyone suddenly heard the scouts come back to report, they reacted that they took out their guns. They were extremely angry and their faces showed concern: This damn reactionary is so cunning that he dared not climb over the snow mountain to chase us, but he was waiting for us here early, and he took advantage of the time when we had just crossed the snow mountain and were the weakest. The opportunity was really accurate to be so. I am afraid that the entire Red Sixth Army would be blocked on the snow mountain and there would be a catastrophe.
“How far is it from us?”
"It's not far away, only two or three miles away." The scout turned and pointed to the hill a few hundred meters away in front, saying, "They are coming from another side of the hill."
"Comrades, I won't say much more. I only have an order: Now it depends on our assault company. Even if we fight to the end, we have to guard the hill ahead. Only by defending this bridgehead can the troops behind be launched. Otherwise, let alone our assault company, even the entire Sixth Corps may be defeated back to the snow-capped mountain. By then, now, I will rush over to the top and defend the death!"
The assault company rushed forward and successfully occupied the hill. However, the next scene made everyone confused: the enemy in front of them would never be less than 1,500, but the problem was that not only did the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army flags, but they also had guns on their backs, and some were carrying various food in their hands. Some were also pushing wheelbarrows, with food or clothes on them. This was definitely not for war, but seemed to be for comfort. Especially the two hundred people walking at the end of this team, they looked like ordinary people. Not only did they have guns, but they were driving horses, ox carriages and ox carriages. It was precisely because of their existence that everyone was not only confused, but also lowered their vigilance.
Tian Guozhong looked at it and couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Zhang, they wouldn't make a mistake when they came to fight like this, right?"
"Yes, I heard that this belt is the territory of the Fourth Front Army. How could such an enemy arrive here under their noses? Look at their military caps. Each has five-pointed red stars."
Zhang Qingshan slapped his head suddenly and shouted: "Blame me, blame me, I was too anxious when I was yelling, and I must be prepared! Everyone should be prepared so as not to be fooled and caught off guard. In this way, Baoyu, go to the commander Tian and report the situation here to Lao Hu. Take your comrades and continue to guard Lao Tian here, and come with me to see."
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan brought Tian Guozhong and his squad soldiers from the side to the enemy.
"Are you comrades from the Red Sixth Army?" Zhang Qingshan and others suddenly jumped out of the small hill. Although the way they appeared surprised the other party, it was not beyond their expectations. The comrades who led the lead asked with a smile.
Zhang Qingshan looked at them and did not answer.
"We are the Red Fourth Front Army"
This time, Zhang Qingshan spoke, yi waved his hand to interrupt the other party, and said with a slight smile: "You don't need to say who you are, just stay here. When our leaders and elders arrive here, you will tell them."
Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled strangely and said, "Anyway, it's useless to tell me. As long as you don't keep moving forward, we'll wait here. If you don't listen to the hello, hey! Hey!"
The other party also understood what Zhang Qingshan was worried about: Wan Yi was pretending? These two thousand people were in a sudden difficulty, but the Red Sixth Army was at its weakest time. At that time, even if they were victorious, most of the casualties would be killed or injured. Although the two sides had radio contact, the Assault Company, as the pioneer, gathered with the Legion headquarters for more than ten miles. On the snow mountain, it was difficult for the Legion headquarters to pass the situation to the Assault Company at the first time. In addition, it was the first time that the two sides met, and it was a bit sudden. Such misunderstandings were inevitable.
Therefore, the first meeting between the Red Sixth Army and the Red Fourth Front Army became such a situation: a squad was blocking the front of the squad.
After the leader asked the team to rest on the spot, he walked to Zhang Qingshan alone, first dispersed the smoke, and then began to get close to Zhang Qingshan. Zhang Qingshan was also happy, so the two had a great time talking!
