On September 18, 1935, a victorious team, full of glory and hope, crossed the magnificent Long March and came to a small town called Hadapu in Longnan, Gansu Province. The leader of this team is ***, he led more than 8,000 Red Army commanders and fighters, showing the world the tenacious and unyielding revolutionary spirit.
A year ago, on October 10, when the team set off from Ruijin, Jiangxi, there were as many as 860 thousand. They had a resounding name: **Red Army, including ** Columns and the Red Army. But after a year of baptism and reorganization, this team has now taken on a new name: the Shaanxi and Gansu Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
This Red Army experienced the crisis of Zhang Guotao***, went north alone, seized the dangerous Lazikou, and occupied Hadapu by the way. In this small town of Gannan with simple folk customs and abundant materials, the Red Army soldiers who had gone through all kinds of hardships finally got a full rest.
And in this land baptized by war, there are also some untold stories. For example, *** asked the reconnaissance company commander Liang Xingchu to collect some "spiritual food" for him. Liang Xingchu disguised himself as a Kuomintang lieutenant colonel officer, captured a Kuomintang major, and collected many newspapers and magazines from him. In these "expired" newspapers, ** learned about the situation of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, and this valuable information became an important basis for him to formulate military plans.
In another corner, the head of the Red Fourth Regiment ** found a "Ta Kung Pao", and in order to get this news, he did not hesitate to pay a piece of ocean. This newspaper was carefully taken down and handed over to Liang Xingchu, becoming another window to understand the situation.
This seemingly trivial information played a pivotal role in the Red Army's military operations. **In Hadapu, the final destination of the Long March was determined: northern Shaanxi. At the same time, Xu Haidong's Red 25th Army was also struggling not far away to find traces of the main force of the Red Army.
The Red 25th Army was the most special unit in the Long March. Known as the "Child Army", they are less than 18 years old on average, and there are even children as young as seven or eight years old. This smallest unit showed amazing combat effectiveness and perseverance during the Long March.
Although the route of their Long March was short, it was full of hardships and dangers. From Henan to Hubei to Shaanxi, the Red 25th Army marched westward and finally arrived in Gansu. During this journey, they never forgot their original aspirations and tenaciously completed the task of pinning down the enemy and meeting the main Red Army.
Although the soldiers of the 25th Red Army suffered from hunger and cold, their hearts were always burning with enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause and hope for the future. This power of hope embodies their courage to fight all the way and defy hardships and dangers.
In this unit, there were many heroic generals and soldiers, whose figures and deeds became glorious chapters in the history of the revolution. Leaders such as Xu Haidong and Wu Huanxian set an example for the team by leading by example. Their sacrifice and dedication have become the eternal faith in the hearts of the soldiers of the Red 25th Army.
And in the ranks of the Red Twenty-fifth Army, there was also a special group of female warriors, known as the "Seven Fairies". They were young and brave, fearless of hardships and dangers, and resolutely followed the troops to complete the journey of the Long March. Their stories have made people see the new hope of the Chinese revolution and show the infinite vitality of young people in the new era.
The Long March of the 25th Red Army was not only a great historical feat, but also a continuation of the revolutionary spirit. They wrote the chapter of revolution with their lives and blood, laying a solid foundation for the birth of New China. They were the pioneers of the revolution and the light of hope for New China, which will forever be remembered in the long river of history.
