In October 1935, the Red Army, which had gone through a lot of hardships, finally succeeded in crossing Liupan Mountain, and the victory of the Long March was in sight. In addition to being excited, ** splashed ink and wrote the famous article "Qingping Le Liupan Mountain".
However, surprisingly, on that night, an incredible thing happened, which greatly annoyed ***, and he repeatedly sent his men to investigate, but after many years, he still did not find the truth.
So, what really happened that night, and how did people reveal the truth? After many hardships, the dawn of victory of the Long March is in sight. In October 1934, the situation took a turn for the worse and the organization had to make a strategic shift.
In the course of this transfer, the Red Army was subjected to frenzied attacks by the enemy. In the Battle of Xiangjiang, the Red Army soldiers braved difficulties and forged ahead with courage and perseverance under the enemy's fierce artillery fire.
Although, in the end, our army was victorious, but the erroneous decisions of the commanders and the lack of equipment led to heavy losses and a significant reduction in the number of personnel. The bitter lessons of this war have made the organization deeply realize that only the best decisions are correct.
In order to preserve the strength of the Red Army, the Red Army began a two-year long march under the leadership of ***. During the Long March, they overcame many difficulties in grasslands and snow-capped mountains, and endured countless hardships and obstacles.
Under the wise leadership of the Red Army, the Red Army successfully broke through the siege and opened up a way out of desperate situations again and again. Eventually, they managed to reach Gansu and escape the close pursuit of the Kuomintang.
After arriving in Gansu, the Red Army began to plan its next move. At first, their goal was to advance to the northwest, close to the Soviet base area. In this way, it will not only be possible to learn from the Soviet Union, but also to ensure the safety of the Red Army.
In order to avoid a direct clash with the Kuomintang and endless troubles for the Red Army, the organization, after careful consideration, decided to march in the direction of northern Shaanxi. The Red Army had already paid a huge price in the previous battles, and there could be no more slip-ups.
If you want to step into the land of northern Shaanxi, you must climb over the dangers of Liupan Mountain. Liupan Mountain, here is the intersection of the three provinces, but also the last pass on the Long March Road, over Liupan Mountain, is the other side of victory.
However, it is not easy to pass through Liupan Mountain. After all, the average altitude of Liupan Mountain is as high as 2,500 meters, and the mountain is tortuous and steep, with dense jungles. Once at the top, the fighters not only had to endure the biting cold, but also had to overcome altitude sickness.
In the Liupan Mountain area, the heavy garrison of the Kuomintang and local warlords undoubtedly became the biggest obstacle to the advance of the Red Army. However, ** was not intimidated by the terrain and heavy troops, but developed the most effective strategy according to the actual situation.
In the open and secret struggle between the forces of all sides, he decisively sent troops to attack Qingshizui, but the enemy army did not know it, and he was still happily dining in the local area. After crossing Liupan Mountain, other difficulties are no longer a problem.
When the guns of the Red Army rang out, they panicked, became chaotic and easily fell into the hands of the Red Army. The battle lasted only half an hour, but it successfully killed more than 200 enemies, greatly boosted the morale of the Red Army, and finally successfully reached the main peak of Liupan Mountain.
Standing on Liupan Mountain, ** is very satisfied with the current situation. In order to express his joy, ** also specially wrote "Qingping Le Liupan Mountain" as a commemoration.
However, this feeling of victory did not last long, and was shattered by a sudden bad news. After learning the news, ** was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation.
So, what exactly is the news that makes *** so angry? The unfortunate sacrifice of 300 fighters The truth of this matter seems difficult to unravel. At that time, the soldiers were exhausted from climbing Liupan Mountain, and the sky was about to get dark, so they decided to rest in the area.
One of the squads arrived in the town of Gengwan. They saw that there were people living nearby, so they decided to borrow water from the villagers. Unbeknownst to them, however, the local villagers were dissatisfied with the troops after being burned and looted by countless passing troops.
When the Red Army fighters were seen, they all refused to help. The Red Army searched for water in the area, but could not borrow water to drink. Although they were not angry because of this, they did not dare to borrow water easily.
They had to go to the neighborhood to find a source of water, and luckily, they soon found water by a small river. In order not to disturb the rest of the villagers, they chose to stay by the river.
By then, they were already thirsty and tired, and they couldn't wait to run to the river to drink water. However, some attentive warriors felt that there was something unusual about the river, but they did not pay much attention to it due to their unbearable thirst.
The Red Army soldiers, who had drunk water, rested by the river, however, they never woke up again. The next morning, when the other teams returned one after another and counted the number of people, it was found that the team that had gone to Gengwan Town had not returned.
A little warrior set out to look for them, and he walked around the town, only to be surprised to find that the party was still resting by the river! This surprised him very much, after all, the Red Army soldiers, no matter how difficult and tired they were, did not delay the movement of the entire unit for personal reasons.
But why is this team so slack that it's still sleeping? He ran over and called them to get up, but no one responded. He took a closer look and saw that the soldier lying on the ground had a calm face and had not put down the gun in his hand, and he touched the soldier's hand and found that he was no longer breathing.
Looking at the others, he saw that they were the same. The soldier felt that something was very wrong, so he immediately ran back to the unit and told his superiors everything he had seen.
The superiors were shocked: it was unbelievable that three hundred warriors had died silently overnight. He immediately sent personnel to protect the place where the fighters were and reported the matter to ***
** Furious at the news of the death of three hundred warriors, he ordered a full investigation into the matter. After all, these are comrades-in-arms who share life and death!
They fought Liupan Mountain, and victory was at hand, but these three hundred warriors died for no reason. This pain of losing their comrades-in-arms filled everyone with anger, and everyone expressed their desire to avenge their comrades-in-arms.
Having received an order from their superiors, the fighters began an investigation with all their might.
Unbeknownst to them, Liupan Mountain hides countless mysteries. Genghis Khan's army was stationed near the town of Gengwan, only to be wiped out for no apparent reason. Genghis Khan was puzzled by this and investigated thoroughly for a long time, but in the end he still found nothing.
The investigating warriors did the same, scouting the neighborhood but finding nothing out of the ordinary. They searched for a long time, but could not find any clues. The fact that the dead were neatly dressed and kept in a sleeping position indicates that they did not die in the war.
There is a way to make people die quietly, and that is poisoning. Some speculate that this may have been the cause of the mysterious death of these three hundred Red Army soldiers. They believe that if someone really poisoned him, then he must have done it because the squad was out of the larger group.
Because the Red Army soldiers had developed a deep friendship during the revolution, they could not betray their comrades, even if they sacrificed themselves. However, they found no trace of the enemy in their previous investigations, so this speculation was overturned.
Despite all the speculations of the fighters, no substantial evidence has been found, and the cause of death of these 300 fighters remains a mystery.
In the process of the Red Army soldiers looking for ** with all their might, the Kuomintang army attacked again. Faced with a well-prepared enemy, the Red Army had no choice but to bury these 300 brave soldiers in the town of Gengwan and leave.
Before leaving, each of the warriors shed tears of unwillingness, and they vowed to find out the cause of the death of their fallen comrades. After the end of the Long March, ** sent people to Gengwan Town again to investigate, but still did not find any clues.
Thus, the cause of the death of more than 300 valiant soldiers became an unsolved mystery. So, will people finally be able to uncover the truth about the death of these three hundred warriors? What exactly did they die?
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, domestic construction was in full swing. Even during the busiest period, he did not forget the three hundred soldiers who died in Gengwan Town. Thirteen years later, the investigation into the incident began again.
However, due to the heavy workload, he handed over the matter to *** to attach great importance to the matter, but due to limited conditions, he sent several groups of investigators, but he has not been able to find an answer.
Sadly, this incident remained unresolved until the death of the Great Leader***. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is 1989, and 54 years have passed since the sacrifice of 300 brave soldiers.
It is at this time of the year that the truth of the matter is slowly revealed. In the past year, China has intensified its economic development, and many cities have developed rapidly, and at the same time, the state has also begun to provide assistance to some poor areas in China.
In order to improve the livelihood of the people in the mountainous areas, the state has sent several groups of personnel to the mountainous areas to conduct field investigations.
Gengwan Town, located in a remote area, has become a key target of poverty alleviation by the state due to its backward economy and the difficulties of the people's lives. One day, a state-sent team came to Gengwan town to investigate the local water quality.
Why should we investigate water quality? Because the local population is mainly dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, water quality is closely related to the yield of crops. In the course of the investigation, local residents told the team the story of the Red Army.
They recalled that they were scared and there were no villagers to help them, so they had to go outside the village to drink water from the river, but sadly, the next day they all fell ill.
The villagers' words sent alarming bells in the hearts of investigators, and it was clear that the incident was not what the villagers had described"Ghosts and gods", but there is something else hidden. After an in-depth investigation, the investigators had a possible answer in their minds: perhaps only poisoning could cause such mass deaths.
However, the problem arises, the fighters have previously examined the bodies of the deceased and found no signs of poisoning. Coupled with the shortage of food in the army, the fighters had to turn to the villagers for help.
At this time, the investigators remembered that the fighters who went to Gengwan Town did borrow water from the villagers, but they did not succeed, so they may have only drunk water from the river that night!
That's right, the soldiers should have drunk the water from the river that night. Therefore, the surveyors immediately collected water from the river in Gengwan Town, paying special attention to the river where the soldiers once drank.
After the river water was collected, the surveyors immediately brought the samples for testing. After repeated inspections, the surveyors found that the river water in Gengwan Town contained a large amount of potassium and sodium ions, but these elements themselves were not too harmful.
However, the surveyors were not satisfied with this result, and they went to the small river in Gengwan Town with questions and took some water from the river. At this time, the surveyors found that there seemed to be something unusual about the water.
The smell of the river is pungent and attention-grabbing. Surveyors found that bubbles bubbled out of the river from time to time, suggesting that there may be a large amount of oil nearby. When geologically active, cyanide from oil seeps into river water.
It is worth mentioning that cyanide gas reacts when it meets metal ions, and when it meets potassium and sodium ions contained in river water, it produces highly toxic *** and ***
Although these two substances are difficult for humans to access, only a trace amount of cyanide can be fatal.
Although the river water does not always contain cyanide, and the smell of cyanide is so pungent that villagers avoid it as soon as they smell it. However, the Red Army soldiers, exhausted and ignorant of cyanide, eventually drank water containing cyanide, leading to the tragedy.
Upon learning of this, the surveyors deeply regretted that they could not accept that the soldiers who had gone through hardships for the revolution had lost their lives at the moment of imminent victory.
Grief-stricken surveyors reported the results of their investigation to the organization, and the root cause of the deaths of more than 300 soldiers was the lack of supplies during the war, and people had to make full use of the resources around them.
In those days, people's lives could not be guaranteed, let alone the requirements for food, as long as they could eat. Who would have thought that the water would contain highly toxic substances?
At that time, due to the combination of various factors, this tragedy was almost unavoidable. As heart-wrenching as this tragedy is, it also serves as an important reminder that we must take the safety of the military very seriously, whether it is food or travel, to be extra careful in order to be worthy of the soldiers who serve our country.
Fifty years later, the cause of the deaths of the more than 300 soldiers who went to Gengwan Town was finally clarified, but no amount of investigation could change the loss of their lives.
However, people will always be grateful for the great sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Red Army during the revolutionary period, and it is because of them that our country has prospered today.
We should cherish the happy life in front of us, because it is what countless revolutionary martyrs have exchanged for with their lives. In addition to this, we should also vigorously popularize and develop scientific knowledge so that more people can understand science, so that we can avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
