In 1934, the failure of the fifth encirclement and suppression made Chiang Kai-shek angry, and the Red Army suffered huge losses in this encirclement and suppression, and began to break through with difficulty. This marked the official beginning of the 25,000-mile Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

On the way to the west of the Red Sixth Army, the advance team of the Long March, it was ambushed by Ganxi, Guizhou. In the face of the crisis, the 52nd Regiment bravely took charge of covering the withdrawal of large forces. However, in the process, the 52 regiment disappeared from view.

* Sent people into Guizhou many times to investigate, but never found any clues. The movement of troops of more than 800 people, it is impossible not to leave any news. So, what exactly did the 52nd regiment go to**?

Are they all sacrificed or are there still survivors? What really happened back then? And how does the truth come out? Now, let's follow Uncle Chen to tell history and uncover this historical mystery together.

However, due to the limited information channels of the people in Guizhou, they think that all the armies in the world are the same, like the Kuomintang army. Such information asymmetry laid the groundwork for the disappearance of the 52 regiment.

In Ganxi, the Red Sixth Army encountered an enemy ambush and suffered heavy losses. The leaders at this time realized that if they stayed for a long time, not only would they be in danger of being completely annihilated, but also the main forces of the Red Army would be in trouble.

So, they quickly made a decision to let Long Yun, the commander of the 18th Division, lead the 52nd Regiment to cover the retreat of the main force and drag the enemy from attacking. It is incumbent upon him to take over this important task.

The main forces of the Red Army encountered an insurmountable task, so the 49 regiment was sent to support. With the joint efforts of everyone, we have successfully achieved a breakthrough. However, the 52nd Regiment suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle, and only 400 people remained in the original 800-strong rank.

In order to get rid of the enemy's pursuit as soon as possible, the division commander Long Yun decided to let the 49th Regiment join the large army, while the 52nd Regiment took a small road to divert the enemy. Despite the fact that they revealed their position, the 52 regiment managed to attract the attention of the enemy.

However, due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, the Red Army, under the erroneous guidance of the masses, strayed into a dead end - Sleepy Niu Mountain. Trapped Cow Mountain, as the name suggests, is a desperate situation from which even the strongest cattle cannot escape.

The terrain is treacherous, full of cliffs, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and separated by a river valley at the bottom of the middle, so it can be said that there is no turning back. In order to preserve the vitality as much as possible, the team of more than 400 people was again divided into two teams.

Long Yun led 200 warriors to slowly evacuate along the river, while Tian Haiqing led 200 warriors to continue the battle in the mountains.

In March 1935, Kuomintang troops were stationed in the southeast of Guizhou in an attempt to encircle and suppress the Red Army trapped in Niushan. Red Army soldiers led by example, refusing to shoot, smashing machinery, jumping off cliffs one after another, and more than 800 Red Army soldiers disappeared into history.

It was not until 2002 that Yang Youzhu, deputy director of the Shiqian County Party History Research Office, discovered clues about the 50th Regiment of the Red Army in Ganxi Groove Village. During the Chung Yeung Festival, he found that the whole village was worshipping a mountain, so he found the surviving warrior Chen Shirong and learned the truth.

Although Division Commander Long Yun unfortunately died, the spirit of the Red Army lives on, and their heroic deeds and noble qualities are admirable.

The veil of history has been lifted, and the deep and tragic story is hard to let go. First, the 170 warriors of Prison Niu Mountain jumped off the cliff and died with their ambitions, and then the five heroes of Langya Mountain resisted the enemy tragically.

The current Prison Niu Mountain seems to have bloomed a bold flower, which is blood, passion, perseverance, and expectation. "Why do you need to return the horse leather shroud, only for the eternal peace of China", we will follow in the footsteps of the revolutionary pioneers and continue to move towards prosperity.
