The Red Army's Long March, crossing snow-capped mountains, crossing grasslands, eating tree bark and grass roots, these are all unimaginable hardships and hardships that we can hardly imagine today, but these are what our ancestors really experienced.
In the ranks of the Red Army at that time, the youngest Red Army soldier was only nine years old! The child, who embarked on the Long March at the age of nine, was named Xiang Xuan, who joined the Chinese Red Army at the age of seven.
Why did such a young child take part in the Long March? And for what reason did he join the Chinese Red Army?
On the Long March, Xiang Xuan, as a member of the "Red Imp", had a prominent revolutionary family background. His uncle was a well-known ** marshal, and he himself followed his aunt He Ying to participate in guerrilla warfare since he was a child.
At the age of only three or four, Xiang Xuan was already proficient in the use of firearms, and at the age of seven, he became a member of the Red Army. Xiang Xuan had his own pistol, and usually he would remove the firing pin and reinstall it only during battle.
As a Red Army soldier, he had a wide range of responsibilities and was often assigned to less dangerous jobs such as orderlies, messengers, grooms, propagandists, etc. Xiang Xuan and several other "baby Red Army" often had to go to the homes of villagers to carry out propaganda work, and the main purpose was to "expand the popularity" of the troops and encourage more people to join the Red Army.
Xiang Xuan wore a broken straw hat and a big hat, bravely walked out of the house, went to the place where he was rushing to do publicity, and went straight to the crowded place. Several children stood in the crowd and began to sing, which was noticeable.
Then, Xiang Xuan enthusiastically promoted to the villagers, and his words were fast and fluent, full of passion. The propaganda effect of these "baby Red Army" was very significant, and on one occasion, the four of them successfully recruited 37 people to join the ranks of the Red Army!
In the campaign to crack down on local tyrants and divide the land, although many villagers did not dare to accept the allocated land, Xiang Xuan was a brave propagandist. He used the words of "learning and selling now" from adults, and ran over from house to house to publicize, so that people could understand that this land was originally snatched from us by the landlord, and now it is called returning the land to its original owner.
Although they were only children, when they were not fighting, they often fought "mud fights" together, making their bodies dirty, and no matter how much the adults persuaded them, they resolutely refused to listen.
At the age of 9, Xiang Xuan became the deputy squad leader, and soon after, he followed the team on the road of the Long March.
In the hardships and dangers of the Long March, **'s wife Jian Xianren became his strong backing. Not only does she take care of her young daughter, He Jiesheng, but she also shoulders the burden of propaganda work.
In order to protect the children, it was actually stipulated that children were not allowed to participate in the Long March, but the evil deeds of the Kuomintang army put the children's lives in danger. Therefore, Xiang Xuan and other "red imps" and He Jiesheng were allowed to join the Long March team.
Although the road of the Long March was full of hardships, Jian Xianren remained tenacious, protecting and inspiring them with her love and strength.
On the Long March, Xiao Xiangxuan showed amazing courage and a sense of responsibility. Whenever the camp was set up, he would take the initiative to take over the younger sister from his aunt and help her reduce her burden so that she could concentrate on her work.
As the youngest "red imp", Xiang Xuan received special attention and care. The uncles and uncles in the team were worried that he would not be able to walk, so they took turns holding and carrying him.
In order to let the little red imps also enjoy some happiness, ** specially prepared a tall horse for them, and let the three children take turns to ride. Despite living in hardship, the little red imps still live a carefree life under the protection of adults.
In Hongjiaguan, Sangzhi, Hunan, there lives a prominent family - the He family. The He family is a family that is fearless and sacrificed for the country and the revolution, and its members include the authentic, loyal and honest farmer Xiang Shenghui, and his wife He Mangu, although the name is not known, but her sister He Ying and brother ** are both famous figures.
He Tingbi, the ancestor of the He family, rebelled against the rule of the Qing ** for the endless oppression of the people at the bottom during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.
My husband died a glorious death, and I will not let him suffer insults! Since then, the He family has become famous in the local area, and their backbone and spirit of not fearing power have been passed down from generation to generation.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the revolution, and in order to support the "anti-Yuan Protectorate", he used "two kitchen knives to make a revolution", leading the entire He family on the road of revolution, and his sister He Mangu was no exception.
He Mangu, the stubborn sister of **, is the toughest one in the He family. Although the eldest sister in the family, He Ying, is the most majestic, she dares to quarrel with the eldest sister and is not afraid.
In the fight against the enemy, she always rushed to the front and was fearless. In 1928, under the arrangement of the Communist Party of China, armed struggle was carried out in the western part of Hunan, Hubei, and all the members of the He family, including He Ying and He Mangu, participated in it and fought with the enemy.
For the sake of the revolution, He Mangu handed over the five children in the family to her husband to take care of. However, under the cruel blow of the enemy, He Mangu lost contact with ** and He Ying, and could only hide in the east**, avoiding the enemy, and at the same time looking for the whereabouts of her brother and sister.
In the days when she lost contact with ** and others, He Mangu returned to her hometown in Zhangmuxi, Sangzhi County, and decided to reorganize the team by herself. Because of her longing for her children, she took her three youngest children, her son Xiang Chucai, Xiang Xuan, and her daughter Xiang Jinzhi, to take care of her.
However, the good times did not last long, and the enemy soon found this place and sent more than 80 people to surround He Mangu's family. In the face of the crisis, He Mangu was not afraid, bravely fought with the enemy with **, looked for an opportunity to break through decisively, and rushed out of the encirclement with three children.
After a fierce battle, He Mangu and her children were forced to hide in a He family's home. However, they could not hide for a long time, fearing that the enemy would find them, so they had to shift their positions.
However, the enemy resembles a dog with a keen sense of smell and quickly tracks their whereabouts. Alone and trying to protect her three young children, He Mangu ran out of ammunition and was captured by the enemy during the battle.
He Mangu and her three children were imprisoned. During her detention, He Mangu was subjected to all kinds of harsh torture and torture, but she always stood true to her beliefs and resolutely did not make any compromises to the enemy.
No matter how many questions the enemy asked her, she would lash out and curse at them, revealing no information.
The cunning enemy spread false news in the newspapers, saying that they had arrested "He Mangu, the sister of the bandit leader", and mistook the four of their mother and son for "exterminating more than 300 people".
This malicious lie is distressing. However, knowing that she could not escape this cage, He Mangu decided to commit suicide by swallowing opium. Unfortunately, her suicide plan was discovered by the enemy, so this group of cruel devils executed her.
Both the family and the He family were saddened by He Mangu's heroic sacrifice, and together they raised money to buy off the prison guards. On a thunderstormy night, Sister He Ying bravely went deep into the enemy camp and snatched back three children from prison.
He Ying had watched three innocent children suffer inhumane abuse in prison, and they came out with sallow-faced, filthy bodies and dull eyes. ** was distressed, so he decided to hand over Xiang Xuan to He Ying and let her treat her as his own child.
Xiang Xuan was only fifteen months old, and he began to call He Ying "Mom". He Ying and her husband once organized an armed force to rob the rich and help the poor, and later joined the party organization under the introduction of **.
He Ying has always been an important supporter of the revolutionary cause. In the Northern Expedition in 1926, ** led the troops as the commander of the First Division of the Ninth Army of the National Revolution.
After receiving the news, He Ying immediately arranged for the local armed expulsion of the county governor to prepare for the revolutionary cause of **, and she also organized people from all walks of life to send the "Wanmin Umbrella" to show their support for the revolutionary cause.
In 1928, after the failure of the uprising led in Guangdong, he went to Shanghai and found ***, saying that he wanted to return to his hometown of Xiangxi to reorganize the army. He Ying has always stood firmly by his side and supported his revolutionary cause.
In order to assist his younger brother in reorganizing his arms, He Ying handed over all his team to **, and personally left a small number of ** and twenty soldiers. With her support, a revolutionary army of workers and peasants of more than 3,000 people was quickly established.
However, when the news of He Mangu and the child's ** reached He Ying's ears, she was fighting against the enemy who was approaching step by step. Faced with the danger of her sister, He Ying was so anxious that she fainted.
When she wakes up, she fights the enemy while sending people to get her sister out on bail. Unfortunately, due to the delay in time, she was unable to rescue her sister, and He Mangu died heroically.
In 1933, the traitor Xu Huangsheng leaked He Ying's hiding place, allowing the enemy to find her. When the enemy surrounded He Ying and the others, Xiang Xuan, who was only 7 years old, accompanied her.
In the face of the fierce attack of the enemy, He Ying showed great calmness and bravery, she used her gun against the enemy while protecting Xiang Xuan. However, she was shot in the right leg, bleeding profusely, and collapsed by the door.
Xiang Xuan tried to pick her up, but He Ying shoved the pistol and four silver dollars to Xiang Xuan with all his might, telling him that he was leaving, and telling Xiang Xuan to find his uncle. At this moment, the enemy fired another shot, hitting He Ying in the abdomen, and she died heroically.
With tears in his eyes, Xiang Xuan clenched his pistol and silver dollars, and rushed towards the mountains and forests from the back door in the face of the dense bullets. He didn't know that his uncle ** was **, he only knew that he could only find him by going over the mountain.
He ran towards the hill with all his might, and after running some distance, he realized that he had been shot in the foot, and the pain caused him to faint to the ground. Fortunately, Liao Hansheng, who picked him up, found him and brought him safely in front of **.
* Deeply saddened to hear the news of his sister's death, he looked at Xiang Xuan and the other soldiers who had escaped and asked, "My sister died, do you still continue the revolution?" ”
The fighters replied in unison: "! We're going to make a revolution! Xiang Xuan also followed them closely and shouted "dry" loudly. From this moment on, Xiang Xuan truly became the "red ghost" in the ranks of the Red Army.
Xiang Xuan was a Red Army soldier after the end of the Long March, and he was ordered to deliver a letter to northern Shaanxi. Once, he was stopped by the children's regiment standing guard, because the people of the children's regiment did not believe that he was a Red Army.
At this moment, ** passed by and heard their quarrel. Asked Xiang Xuan with a smile how he proved that he was a Red Army. Xiang Xuan replied that his uncle and aunt could testify for him.
When *** asked who his uncle was, Xiang Xuan proudly replied that his uncle was **.
**As soon as he saw Xiang Xuan, he guessed that he had something to do with He Huzi, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are the child of He Huzi's family!" Now I believe it! Since then, Xiang Xuan has always adhered to his beliefs, followed the troops, from the attached primary school in the Shaanxi-Gansu border area to the Kang Da in Yan'an, never stopped studying, and continued to work hard to become an excellent Red Army soldier.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he personally developed the "Flying Thunder Cannon," which could fly more than 500 meters with five kilograms of explosives and blew up the enemy. After the "Flying Thunder Cannon" was successfully developed, Xiang Xuan couldn't be happy because he thought that the martyrs of the He family left him as an orphan, and that the leaders and comrades-in-arms did not let him go to the front line in order to protect him.
At Xiang Xuan's insistence, he finally threw himself into the battle and his"Flying Thunder Cannon"Fight. In the heat of battle, he did not hesitate to rush to the forefront and engage in fierce battles with the enemy.
However, the outcome of this battle was tragic, Xiang Xuan was wounded twenty-one times all over his body, his right foot was blown through, and his right eye was also injured. In this battle, Xiang Xuan was unfortunately blind in his right eye.
Commander He Bingyan felt deeply remorseful for this, he came to ** and said to him: "I'm sorry for you, I didn't take good care of Xiang Xuan. * After learning the news, he first fell silent, and then he patted He Bingyan on the shoulder and said, "Even if it is sacrificed, it is unavoidable, other people's sons can be sacrificed, and my son is the same." ”
I was raised by the mule of the revolution and fed by the milk of the revolution. He always remembered what Mr. He had said to him. What do you think of this hero, who joined the army at the age of 7?
