In the Battle of Xiangjiang, ** and ** fought together as old comrades-in-arms, but an unexpected situation occurred in a certain battle. The political commissar actually held a gun to the chief of staff and asked the reason for the loss of the position.
What's going on here?First of all, ** is a general who goes into battle with illness. Born in 1909, he experienced poverty as a child before joining the Communist Party of China and becoming a staff officer of the 9th Division of the 3rd Army of the 1st Red Regiment.
When he was young, he showed extraordinary military talent and made many military exploits, especially in the Long March in 1934, he was the first to cross the Duhe River and lead the Red Army on an unknown journey.
However, faced with the dilemma of the fifth anti-encirclement campaign, the Red Army was in a difficult situation and was forced to choose a strategic shift and began the famous Long March.
Geng Biao faces a more difficult choice than leaving his hometown, as he has just discovered that he has malaria, a disease that causes constant fever and chills.
Although *** suggested that Geng Biao choose whether to go to the battlefield according to his physical condition, he did not hesitate to join the battlefield because he had a sense of responsibility to the soldiers, even if he understood that this was a point of no return.
During the Long March, Geng Biao sought the help of a doctor, hoping to quickly become ill and rush to the battlefield. However, he underestimated the severity of the disease.
When he learned that he was suffering from a malignant disease that needed to be cured for a long time and could not be cured overnight, Geng Biao was still worried about tomorrow's battle.
Knowing that there was a prescription that could temporarily control the condition, Geng Biao ignored the toxicity and potential sequelae of the drug, and said firmly: "Give it to me quickly, I am not afraid of death, I am still afraid of any toxicity."
Unfortunately, the prescription was not delivered in time, and he received the order to leave. Subsequently, a battle that shocked history took place - the Battle of Xiangjiang.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate to use heavy troops in an attempt to annihilate the Red Army at the Xiangjiang River, which was a life-and-death battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
The Red Army had more than 80,000 soldiers when it set out, but after the battle, more than 50,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, and the Red Army's ranks were sharply reduced to 30,000. On November 25, 1934, the Red Army decided to cross the Xiang River between Jeonju and Hung Yen.
** It was thought that it would be wise to capture the ferry as soon as possible, but this suggestion was not adopted. Guided by mistakes, the Red Army missed the opportunity, and the whole state was first occupied by the enemy. **Extremely angry when he learns about it, but powerless to change the situation.
The Red Army was in a difficult situation and had to force its way across the Xiang River, but the consequences were unimaginable. The position of the Red Army was soon revealed, and Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to mobilize 15 regiments and began to encircle and suppress the Red Army.
When Geng Biao recalled this battle, he believed that it was unimaginable in modern Chinese and foreign history. Under his command, the strength of a regiment of our army attacked the enemy at night, and with its momentum alone, it frightened a large area of the enemy army.
In the face of the enemy's 15 heavily armed regiments, Geng Biao and Yang Chengwu had only one regiment, and they seemed to be mantis arms as a car, but they firmly resisted, and the people were in the position.
The feat of the Red Army: 400 rounds of ammunition captured Wenfang, captured thousands of enemy troops, a record. The strong man bravely charged into battle, and was known as a genius. However, Pinnacle Ridge fell, and the warriors were heavily surrounded.
Fight to the death back to back, the battlefield is drenched in blood, and the heroic soul is on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. Geng Biao recalled, "The plasma covered my whole body, and the smell of blood on the battlefield made me retch. "The Red Army forcibly crossed the Xiangjiang River, and the blood of countless heroes was sprinkled on the Xiangjiang River, the silver frost covered the ground, and the cold wind was desolate.
**Blame**, why lose your position?* replied calmly: "Our regiment is ** heavy, and all the officers and soldiers have died and lost it." The chief of staff added, "Our troops are retaking positions."
** Ease the mood, "The four regiments are glorious, the blocking troops must hold on, and the Red Star Column is only half crossed." "The guard explained that ** was sick and had a high fever. ** Solemn said: "Every minute counts."
When leaving, ask the guards to get some medicine. Later, it was learned that ** was angry because the enemy broke through the defense line and attacked the command center, ** and almost died.
In the fierce and brutal battle, people profoundly realized the vital importance of correct leadership. The news that the leadership of the Party and the Red Army was finally established at the Zunyi Conference brought tears to my eyes.
Only under the leadership of *** can we achieve victory. "After the Battle of Xiangjiang, the morale of the Red Army was high, like a giant dragon soaring into the sea, creating a series of classic examples of winning more with less.
Those martyrs who defended their homeland will always be remembered, they are the stars in the long river of history, just like every tree and every stone carries their loyal souls, and every mountain and every stone monument bears witness to their bravery.
* Led the soldiers to fight the bloody Long March, defend Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, crossed the Chishui River four times, crossed Zunyi in the south, crossed the Wujiang River skillfully, and finally arrived in northern Shaanxi in difficulty.
The bloody battle of Xiangjiang River lasted for five days and five nights, becoming the longest, largest, fiercest and most tragic battle in the Long March.
The Red Army ** exceeded 20,000 men, and together with the losses when breaking through the first three blockade lines, the number of the Red Army was sharply reduced from 86,000 at the time of departure to less than 30,000. The surging river is whimpering.
Therefore, there is a local saying: "Don't drink Xiangjiang water for three years, don't eat Xiangjiang fish for ten years." ”
