On January 2, 1935, at the crossing of the Wujiang River in Guizhou, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Kuomintang troops engaged in a thrilling battle. This was the famous battle of "breaking through the Wujiang River", and its victory opened an important channel for the strategic transfer of the Red Army. Wujiang River, known as "natural risk", is the largest river in Guizhou, with a width of about 200 meters, deep and rapid, and steep cliffs on both banks. If you want to cross the river, you must first seize the crossing, and the Kuomintang army has already deployed heavy troops on the opposite bank in an attempt to stop the advance of the Red Army.

In order to break through the natural danger of the Wujiang River, the commanders and fighters of the Red Army's advance regiment made careful arrangements. With the help of the local population, they found a hidden path around the enemy's back. Under the cover of night, the Red Army fighters quietly crossed the Wujiang River and launched a surprise attack on the enemy. The enemy was caught off guard and was quickly routed by the Red Army. The victory of the Red Army across the Wujiang River not only broke the blockade of the Kuomintang troops, but also gained valuable time and strategic superiority for the Red Army. This victory demonstrated the Red Army's firm will, tenacious fighting spirit, and outstanding military talent.

Today, when we look back on this period of history, we should not only remember the heroic deeds of the Red Army, but also learn valuable lessons from it. The Red Army's victory in breaking through the Wujiang River tells us that in the face of difficulties and challenges, we must strengthen our faith, forge ahead bravely, and defy hardships and dangers. At the same time, we must also cherish today's hard-won peace and prosperity, inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the Red Army, and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
