Hengduan Mountain, the road is difficult. The sky is like fire, and the water is like silver.
Relatives sent water to quench their thirst, and the military and civilians fished and watered the family.
Hengduan Mountain, the road is difficult. The enemy has heavy troops, pressing the Guizhou realm.
The warrior walked the world with his feet, and crossed the red water four times to surprise the soldiers.
The Wujiang River flew across in danger, and the troops approached Guiyang to force Kunming.
The enemy abandoned his armor and threw away his smoking gun, and our army took advantage of the victory to rush away.
Adjust the tiger to leave the mountain and attack the golden sand, ** with soldiers is really like a god.
In the famous "Long March Songs", this song "Four Crossings of Chishui and Surprise Soldiers" has long been popular, and the historical stories behind the poems are even more talked-about. The Zunyi Conference, the Battle of Tucheng, and the Four Crossings of Chishui became the most brilliant chapters in the history of the Long March. Today, the Chengdu Red Education Base of Guozhou Culture will tell you this exciting red story:
In January 1935, the Zunyi Conference was held. This meeting was the first time that the CPC independently applied the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism to solve problems in its own line, principles, and policies, and it saved the party, the Red Army, and the Chinese revolution at an extremely critical historical juncture, and was a life-and-death turning point in the history of the CPC and the Red Army.
At the meeting, it was decided to cross the Yangtze River to the north, join up with the four front armies, and establish a base area in western or northwestern Sichuan. But the situation around the Red Army was very serious. Nearly 400,000 people from the Xue Yue Corps and the Guizhou Army of the National Army, most of the Sichuan-Yunnan Army, and the Hunan-Guizhou-Guangdong Army tried in vain to encircle and annihilate more than 37,000 people of the Red Army in the northwest of the Wujiang River.
This was the first battle after the restoration of command, and it was also the first initiative of the Red Army after the Zunyi Conference. The Communist Party of China and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to lead the troops to withdraw from Zunyi City, move northward one by one, and concentrate in the Chishui and Tucheng areas at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, preparing to cross the river and go north.
On January 19, the Red Army marched from Songkan, Tongzi, and Zunyi to Tucheng in three routes, and on the 27th, all of them reached the area east of the Chishui River. And the Sichuan Army Guo Xunqi also chased after him.
During the march, according to the latest intercepted enemy telegram, it was learned that the enemy who was chasing after him was only 4 regiments of Guo Xunqi's troops, and 2 regiments of Pan Zuo's division were following up. **Tong**, and other decisions, ordered the Red 2nd Division north of Tucheng to continue northward, and the Red 1st Division, which had arrived at Wanglongchang, to seize Chishui City; With 3 divisions of the 3rd Red Army Corps, occupy the high ground in the northeast and south of the territory, and 2 divisions of the 5th Red Army Corps occupy the high ground north of Qinggangpo, and annihilate Guo Xunqi's troops from the north and south; The cadre regiment set up a reserve at Baima Mountain, two kilometers east of Tucheng, and launched a "battle of annihilation" against the enemy in pursuit.
In the early morning of the 28th, the Red Army, under the command of Yang Shangkun, launched the "Tucheng Campaign". The fighting was extremely fierce, and the warring sides were in a stalemate. To make matters worse, the Red Army discovered that the original information had been mistaken from the number of the prisoners, and that it had mistakenly translated the word "brigade" into "regiment" in the enemy's telegram.
In the face of the disastrous situation, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission readjusted the offensive deployment and decided to launch a general attack on the enemy army at Qinggangpo again, and the commander-in-chief personally went to the front line to give unified command. That night, it was proposed to convene a meeting of several leaders of the Politburo, and according to the new situation that the Kuomintang troops from all walks of life were converging to encircle, it was decided to quickly withdraw from the battle, cross Chishui to the west, and move to the Gulin and Xuyong areas in southern Sichuan.
Although the Battle of Tucheng was fought very hard, and the Red Army's various units were quite large, they finally won the entire strategic victory on the battlefield. The Sichuan army Guo Xunqi's troops were forced to retreat 15 miles, which gave the Red Army all the time to cross the Chishui River and advance southward.
On the 29th, the Red Army abandoned its original plan to cross the Yangtze River to the north, crossed the Chishui River into the Gulin and Xuyong areas in southern Sichuan, and quickly turned to the Tashi area of Yunnan, where the Kuomintang troops had set up air defenses on the border of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and jumped out of the encirclement of the Kuomintang army.
The Battle of Tucheng "** was ten with one as ten, attacking the east and the west, hiding from the sky and the sea, directing a swan song of "four crossings of Chishui", writing the "proud pen" in his military career, and creating a miracle in the history of Chinese and foreign wars.
