A 50-word Party History Story

Five soldiers crossed the Wujiang River.

1935 On New Year's Day, Geng Biao, head of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Red Army Corps, disguised himself and went to the Wujiang River for reconnaissance. He has just received the task of crossing the Wujiang River.

Wujiang River is famous for its natural hazards, which is Zunyi's natural hazards. This river is about 250 meters wide and unfathomable. The current is swift, the water temperature is only 10 degrees, and the enemy troops on the other side are heavily guarded and fortified. It is almost impossible to cross such a wide river without crossing tools. The second division immediately rushed to make bamboo rafts, and at the same time selected 18 warriors accustomed to water, and prepared to send them to swim across the river to disturb the enemy's vigilance and cover the subsequent troops to cross the river.

At about 9 o'clock the next day, eight soldiers of 18 people, each holding a mauser pistol, tied a rope into a suspension bridge and jumped into the river and swam to the other side. The river is wide and the water is urgent. Although people swim to the other side, they can't pull the rope to cross the river. I had to cross the river by bamboo raft. It is futile to cross the river when the bamboo raft reaches the middle stream and is sunk by the enemy. The second forced crossing was organized that night, and the single-layer bamboo raft was changed into a double-layer bamboo raft. Four bamboo rafts were forced to cross the river at the same time, and three were blocked by the river and returned to the shore. After three consecutive long hairs had no news, they rowed the second raft to the river.

The next day, forced crossing continued. When the bamboo raft rowed to the middle stream, only a few people jumped out of the cliff under the enemy's fortifications and shot at the enemy fiercely. The enemy fled in fright, and our bamboo raft landed smoothly. Who are these responders?

It turned out that during the smuggling on the evening of the 2nd, Company Commander Mao led four soldiers to board the second raft, which somehow reached the other side. After they landed, they waited for other bamboo rafts to land, but no one came. In this case, five soldiers can only sit in a pile and spend the night under the cliff by the Wujiang River.

The first dozen soldiers who crossed the border joined the company commander Mao and others. After occupying the enemy post, he continued to attack the enemy and used several grenades in succession. Under the cover of light machine guns, the enemy positions were completely captured with bayonets. One platoon suffered more than half of the casualties, and the rest fled in a hurry. Therefore, the natural barrier of Wujiang River has been broken.
