During the revolutionary period, the fighters were strong-willed and fearless even in the face of life and death. The spiritual strength of these people comes from their firm belief in communism and their strong faith in the revolution.
Today, we are going to tell the story of two Red Army soldiers. One day in mid-July 1937, two beggar-looking people came to Zhenyuan County in Longdong. Although they were dressed in tatters, had a dirty appearance, and had a difficult walk with sticks, their eyes were firm and their eyes were bright, and they always looked forward.
Passers-by ignored them, but the steadfastness and sparkle in the eyes of the two warriors attracted them. When they came to the headquarters of the Red Army's aid to the Western Army, they saw the Red Army standing guard, and they showed a happy and relaxed smile and stepped forward to stand.
However, they don't just want to beg for a bite to eat, as passers-by think. They said that they were soldiers of the Western Route Army and had urgent matters to see the chief. The head of the headquarters of the Western Aid Army personally came out to greet them, and when he saw their exhausted appearance, there were tears in his eyes, but he couldn't help but not fall.
The two fighters also burst into tears when they saw ***, saying that they had finally returned. They handed over a letter to ***, which was the instructions of *** and the head of Chen Changhao, hoping that *** would be forwarded to **.
So, who are these two fighters? And what is their story? Let's move on to the history of the Western Route Army. (1) Western Route Army.
Xiao Yongyin and Chen Mingyi, Red Army soldiers of the West Route Army, who had gone through hardships, were ordered to escort the two leaders of *** and Chen Changhao back to Yan'an to report the situation. When parting, ** personally handed over his gold five-star medal to Chen Mingyi, telling him to be alive to hand over the letter to ***
Their journey is full of hardships, and they need to find their way to survive in enemy blockades and treacherous environments. They encountered hunger, cold, pain, and even dangered their lives, but in the end, relying on their will and resourcefulness, they succeeded in delivering the letters to their destination.
This experience was full of difficulties and challenges, but their courage and perseverance earned them hope and victory in life.
When the Western Route Army suffered a defeat and the Western Army was still on the way, ** decisively ordered the Western Army to stand by and garrison Zhenyuan County. After the Western Army arrived in Zhenyuan County, it immediately took action and sent team members to find the lost soldiers of the Western Route Army.
They set up guest houses and shelters on several roads leading to Qilian Mountain, set up thousands of road signs, and spared no effort to find those comrades-in-arms who escaped death. In this context, Xiao Yongyin and Chen Mingyi chose to rush to Zhenyuan, hoping to find the hope of the Red Army in this hot land.
Xiao Yongyin and Chen Mingyi grew from Red Army soldiers all the way to the founding major generals, and experienced countless battles and tribulations. Among them, their experience of fleeing all the way back to northern Shaanxi in Qilian Mountain made them unforgettable.
In 1987, General Chen Mingyi returned to the place where he had fought with a secretary, not only to remember, but also to commemorate those comrades who had died.
When chatting with local cadres, he also mentioned that when the situation was critical, ** asked him to bury the briefcase, and hoped that the local ** could help find it.
I believe that these important documents will be discovered one day.
