Battle of Obaiji
Chinese New Year's Eve with an IOU for New Year's dinner.
On the first day of the new year, a pocket array was set up to "make dumplings".
The site of the battle of Obaiji.
February 9, 1929, was the Chinese New Year's Eve. But in Dabaidi, a small mountain village called Qiancun in southern Gannan is silent, and there is no taste of the New Year. The villagers, who had been plagued by the bandits, went to the mountains early to hide.
It was this morning that a team arrived. Unlike in the past, they were the Red Army who came down from Jinggang Mountain.
On January 14, 1929, in order to smash the enemy's third attack on Jinggangshan in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, the main force of the Red Fourth Army left Jinggangshan and moved to southern Jiangxi. On the way to the battle, the Red Army was surrounded and intercepted by the enemy and suffered heavy losses.
When they came to the former village, the Red Army soldiers were wearing only two single clothes and were hungry. The 15th Brigade of the Kuomintang Army, Liu Shiyi, was chasing after him with the strength of two regiments.
**, and so on into the village of the Wang family ancestral hall. They called Fan Shude, the quartermaster general, and told him to find a way to get some wine and food, so that the officers and soldiers could have a New Year's dinner.
At that time, there was no one in this village, and the villagers did not have time to take away the New Year's goods. The Red Army decided to use the company as the food unit, and first calculate the price through the scales and then issue the IOU.
They gathered all the food from the villagers, killed a few pigs, prepared some rice wine, and were busy until the afternoon before they had a hearty meal that they had not seen for a long time.

Many places have the custom of making dumplings for the New Year. On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1929, the Red Army also began to prepare for "dumpling-making", and they wanted to wrap the Kuomintang troops who followed.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, dense gunfire rang out in the mountains around Dabaidi, and the relentless Kuomintang troops got into the pocket formation laid by the Red Army. The land is flanked by mountains and jungles, and the stone path in the valley is the only way to the outside world.
The two regiments of Liu Shiyi's division were firmly wrapped in dumplings by the Red Army. The Red Fourth Army was not only replenished with guns and silver, but also dealt a severe blow to the enemy's arrogance. ** The marshal later called the battle "the most honorable battle since the founding of the Red Army."
The battle is over, can the IOUs left by the Red Army be honored? No one in the village believed it. In the spring of this year, the Red Fourth Army returned to southern Jiangxi from western Fujian and passed through Dabai again. What the villagers did not expect was that the Red Army went door to door to cash in all the arrears.
Some lost their IOUs, but as long as they could tell the amount, the Red Army paid the amount. The villagers said: "The Red Army is a team that counts!" ”
War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Use cannonball casings as rolling pins.

In 1953, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea entered its fourth year, and the armistice negotiations had been going on intermittently for 16 months, and the warring sides were still in a state of stalemate in the area near the "38th parallel".
The Spring Festival is still one week away, and several officers of the rear headquarters of the 140th Division of the 47th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers Wang Demin, Yang Zhaofu, Yin Chunzhi, and other officers decided to organize a small singing team to celebrate the Spring Festival.
A singing team composed of more than a dozen male and female comrades, including officers, cultural teachers, and accountants, was soon established. The singing team has only 1 accordion, 1 huqin and 4 harmonicas. In the war-torn ravine, everyone used local materials, and wine bottles, rice pots, washbasins, and rice bowls were turned into "musical instruments".
In North Korea, the art troupe is called the "Concerto". This singing group is called "Pots and Pans Concerto".
February 13, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The "Pots and Pans Concerto" was approved to go to the division's forward headquarters more than ten miles away to perform in Zhuyidong, a condolence performance.
Wang Demin recalled: After entering the tunnel and greeting each other with the comrades, the meal was about to start. The house was set up in a cedar forest on the hillside, and several people were already waiting to get food.
At this moment, with a bang, a cannonball collapsed the shed made of cedar branches and plunged into the rice pot. Everyone quickly lay down, and after waiting for a long time, it was a dud. Comrade Gao Yukun said with a smile: "We have not yet completed our task, and Marx does not agree with us to report to him. ”
The literary and artistic workers of the Chinese People's Volunteers went to the front line to perform for the heroes.
The show is scheduled for the evening. In the afternoon, the cooking class specially prepared white noodles and meat filling, and everyone made dumplings together. There was no rolling pin, so they used wine bottles and shell shells instead. While eating steaming dumplings, everyone listened to the enemy's shells as "firecrackers".
In the evening, the "Pots and Pans Concerto" performed in a "hall" next to the divisional war room. Although the venue and equipment of the performances are very simple, and there are not many programs, they are all wonderful.
There are not only chorus "Chinese People's Volunteer Army Battle Song", but also solo Korean folk song "Arirang", Soviet song "Katyusha", and Guangdong folk music "Backgammon". The stage performance was extremely hard, the audience laughed and cheered, and the performance was an unexpected success.
On the war-torn Korean battlefield, it was with such a spirit of revolutionary optimism that the officers and men of the Chinese Volunteers ushered in the final victory.
Border self-defense counterattack operations
Battlefield Spring Festival couplets to boost morale.
In 1985, the officers and men of the troops participating in the border self-defense and counterattack operations had to celebrate the Spring Festival on the front line. Previously, they had just achieved a big victory on "1.15". The Spring Festival couplets left a deep impression on General Zhang Guibai, who was doing battlefield political work at the front at that time.
The couplets he saw were only partially written in pen and ink, and there were even more of them that were adapted to local conditions and simplified because of ugliness. Some couplets are scribbled on tents, some are carved into stones, and some are inlaid with colored gravel.
What to do as a soldier, what to do with a gun, and why to fight, the answers of soldiers can be found in these battlefield couplets.
The heart of the fist guards the family and the country, and the Yin Yin warriors defend Guanshan".
Loyal to the country, born and a hero, ambitious, brave to kill the enemy, and die for the ghost hero, there is no regret."
Defend the sacred land and show the true character of heroes, destroy the invading enemy and strengthen the power of China."
In the battlefield, we will not hesitate to punish the enemy, and stubbornly exalt the national and military might."
The officers and men participating in the war have found the best position to realize their ideals between the needs of the motherland and their personal aspirations, and the Spring Festival couplets are a vivid portrayal of their patriotism and love for the people and their contributions to the frontier.
During the border self-defense counterattack, the soldiers signed the self-made red flag with the words "The motherland is in my heart" to express their determination to defend the motherland. Data map.
Let's look at these front-line couplings:
Big holes, small holes, cat ear holes, holes, hidden dragons, crouching tigers, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, guns, guns, and guns are full of rage."
Wield thousands of cannons and cannons, and send thousands of bullets and bullets to stab."
Break the enemy's obstacles and be a pioneer, and take the lead to be an unknown warrior".
Drive iron horses and guns to protect the border passes, raise steel shields and fly arrows to break the enemy's courage."
The radio waves are worthy of clairvoyance, and the key bell ticks through the four directions to be a good tailwind."
The wheels roll across the east and west of China, and the motor sings in the north and south of the mountain".
I always want my comrades-in-arms to fry and stew, and the dishes are fragrant, and the pots and pans of comrades are jingling everywhere."
War knives, bayonets, scalpels, frontiers, flashing world-class hero knives, battle arenas, operating tables, white-clothed beacons."
Every word is filled with the enthusiasm and confidence of the soldiers to fight bravely in their posts.
Winning the war and winning the war is fundamental, and the officers and soldiers participating in the war follow this law when writing Spring Festival couplets.
The dignified China cannot be insulted, and the majestic Great Wall cannot be broken"; "The motherland is in my heart, and the position is in my hands". Lianyu shows who to fight for and why, and confesses that the teacher is famous and the teacher is righteous.
Welcoming the New Year, there is bitterness and sweetness in the sweetness, one person works hard and ten thousand people are sweet, and there is a shortage in the festival round, and there is a circle in the circle, and one family is not round, and ten thousand families are round"; "Dedication, dedication, responsibility, victory, glory, day and night, year and festival month as a companion." The joint language shows that soldiers take their mission as their duty.
Once the patriotic enthusiasm of the frontline commanders and fighters is aroused, they will burst with infinite wisdom and strength. The Spring Festival couplets on the battlefield are the embodiment of their heroic battles, and they are also a portrayal of their strength and faith.
When we happily.
When enjoying the Spring Festival holiday.
