Touching Revolutionary Stories

1. "Zhu De's Flat Stretcher"

In April 1928, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the team of Xiangnan Uprising to arrive at Hullong City in the revolutionary base area of Jinggang Mountain, where they met with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by Mao Zedong to form the 4th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army (which was renamed as the 4th Army of the Red Army of the Workers' and Peasants of China soon afterward), with Mao Zedong as the representative of the Party and Zhu De as the commander of the Army.

The Jinggang Mountain Revolutionary Base is located in the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains, which is the border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. Surrounded by 500 miles of high mountains, the terrain is very dangerous. In mid-November 1928, the Red Army assembled in the area of Ninggang, Xincheng and Gucheng for winter training.

Because of the tight blockade by the enemy forces in Hunan and Gan provinces, the Jinggang Mountain base was cut off from almost all trade with the Kuomintang-ruled areas, making the life of the military and civilians in the base very difficult, with an acute shortage of salt, cotton, cloth, medicinal herbs, and food, as well as a lot of difficulties in raising funds.

In addition to food, the Red Army's food costs of 5 cents per person per day were also unsustainable. Three meals a day are mostly brown rice, pumpkin soup, and sometimes wild vegetables, and winter has arrived, the soldiers are still wearing a single coat.

In order to solve the immediate problem of food and reserve food, the Red 4 Army Command launched a campaign to pick up food from the mountains. Most of this grain was transported from Dalong in Ninggang. The grain in Dalong was centralized and existed there in uller city and Gucheng.

Zhu De also often went with the team to pick grain, a day round trip of 50 kilometers, just empty-handed up and down the mountain is very strenuous. But his two baskets are full every time, walking very steadily, young and strong young man is often thrown far away.

The soldiers admired Zhu from the bottom of their hearts, but they also felt sorry for him. The man in his forties, for the revolution, but also to go over the mountains to pick up food, exhausted how to do? We discussed it, and hid his stretcher.

Zhude did not have a stretcher, the heart is very anxious, he let the guards to the townships there to buy a bowl thick bamboo, their own hands, all night to do up the stretcher.

Under the moonlight, he broke open the bamboo, skillfully peeled, scraped, sawed, and in a while on the side of the yellow side of the white half of the bamboo, made a stretcher. In order to prevent the soldiers from hiding his stretcher again, he carved the words "Zhu De Ji" on it.

The next day, the three stars have not yet fallen, picking food team set off again, Zhu De still walk in the middle of the soldiers, we saw him have a new stretcher, feel very surprised, respect more than added a few points of energy. Since then, the story of Zhu De's stretcher has spread.

The people of Jinggang Mountain, in order to forever commemorate Zhu De's spirit of leadership and hard work, made up a song in his honor: "Zhu De's picking up the valley on the pass, the food is absolutely reliable, we all work together to crush the enemy's 'besiegement'".

Early in the morning, the Japanese and pseudo forces mistakenly thought that Qiu Wei Regiment had been surrounded, and under the cover of airplanes and artillery, more than 500 Japanese and pseudo forces ferociously attacked in the direction of Wolfsbane Mountain.

The soldiers of the 7th Company had already planted mines on the road where the enemy must pass through, which caused the Japanese and pseudo-army to leave more than 50 corpses and fled back in a panic. The Japanese commander, convinced that Qiu Wei group has been surrounded, ordered his troops to once again frantically attack the direction of the Wolf Tooth Mountain.

During the fierce battle, most of the soldiers of the 7th Company were sacrificed, and the company commander Liu Fushan was seriously wounded and his life was in danger. In order to allow the troops and the wounded soldiers of the 7th Company to move safely, instructor Cai Zhanpeng ordered Ma Baoyu's squad to stay behind and hold on.

In order to stall and attract the Japanese and pseudo-army, Ma Baoyu led Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi and five other warriors to retreat towards the direction of Qipantuo while fighting, leading the Japanese and pseudo-army to the cliffs.

4, "Dong Cunrui bombing bunker"

May 25, 1948, in the early hours of the morning, the day is not yet dawn, the position is silent. The soldiers anxiously waited for the signal to attack. As three red flares rose into the air, the powerful artillery fire of our People's Liberation Army (PLA) pinned down all the enemy fire on Moss Hill.

In the smoke and flames, the brick tower at the top of Moss Mountain was blown down by our People's Liberation Army's cannons, and the artillery tower was knocked down, and in a short while, the red flag of victory was planted on the top of Moss Mountain.

At 3:30 p.m., the second attack began. The Sixth Company launched a charge toward Longhua Middle School. Suddenly, the enemy's machine guns swept over like a rainstorm, pinning the soldiers under a dirt slope, unable to raise their heads.

It turned out to be six tongues of fire coming out of a bridge spanning the dry river at the northeast corner of Longhua Middle School. The cunning enemy, on the bridge to repair a cleverly camouflaged dark fortress, blocking the path of our charge.

At this point, Dong Cunrui and his comrades asked their company commander to blow up this bridge-type bunker. Bai deputy company commander sent Li Zhende and other three blasters to blast, Li Zhende rushed out not far, the explosive packets were hit by enemy gunfire, Li Zhende sacrificed, the remaining two blasters were seriously wounded.

At this time, the regimental headquarters came an urgent order to the sixth company fire from the northeastern corner of the middle school inserted, with has broken into the middle school inside the brother troop, quickly solve the battle.

Dong Cunrui picked up the explosive packets and rushed out, bent over. Under the cover of fire from Shunyi, he crept forward for a while, and then stood up and ran for a while through the smoke of the grenades thrown by Shunyi.

In the bridge-type bunker, the machine guns of the Kuomintang army were hitting tighter and tighter, and the bullets swept past his ears with sharp whistling sounds. When he was about to rush into the open, Shunyi pointed to a small mound of earth in front of him and said to Dong Cunrui, "You cover here!"

A burst of hand grenades blew up the deer halt and barbed wire in front of the enemy bunker. The machine guns of the Kuomintang army and panicked towards him, suddenly, Dong Cunrui flopped, Shunyi stood up just about to charge forward, only to see him get up violently, a burst of fast running jumped into the dry river ditch, into the dead center of the Kuomintang army's firepower.

And at this time, his leg was wounded, blood flowing. He held the explosive packet and quickly stormed under the bridge. The bridge is more than one person high from the ground, both sides are masonry, no ditch, no prongs, there is no place to put the explosive packets.

If you put the bag of dynamite on the riverbed, you won't be able to blow up the bunker, and you won't be able to find anything to replace the gunpowder holder on the riverbed. How to do? Suddenly, behind the loud and clear sound of the charge, the time to attack has come.

5, "Flying over the Luding Bridge"

In May 1935, the Red Army, which went north to fight against Japan, advanced to the heavenly danger of the Dadu River. The water of the Dadu River is fast flowing, both sides are high mountains and steep hills, only a wire bridge can be passed. The bridge was the Luding Bridge, which the Red Army had to capture to go north.

The Kuomintang sent two regiments to defend the Luding Bridge, blocking the Red Army to the north; and later transferred two brigades to reinforce, wanting to destroy the Red Army on the bridge. Our army has long seen through the enemy's trickery.

On the morning of the 28th, the Fourth Red Regiment received an order from its superiors: "Capture Luding Bridge on the morning of the 29th!" There were only 20 hours left, and the Fourth Red Regiment was still 240 miles away from Luding Bridge. The enemy's two brigades of reinforcements were marching across the river towards Luding Bridge. Getting ahead of the enemy is the key to our army's victory over the enemy.

The Fourth Red Regiment crossed the mountains and routed several groups of blocking enemies along the road, and by 7 o'clock in the evening, it was still 110 miles away from Luding Bridge. The soldiers did not bother to eat all day. It rained again, soaking them through. The determination to defeat the enemy made them forget hunger and fatigue. In the darkness of the night, they braved the rain and stepped on the muddy water to continue their advance.

Suddenly countless torches appeared on the other side of the river, like a long snake running in the direction of Luding Bridge, which was clearly the enemy's reinforcement troops. The soldiers of the Fourth Red Regiment also lit up torches, illuminating the road and running with the enemy on the other side of the river.

The enemy saw the torches on this side and shouted at the top of their voices, "Which part are you from?" Our soldiers replied in a loud voice: "It was the Red Army that happened to retreat." The enemy on the opposite bank was not suspicious. Like two fiery dragons, the two armies traveled twenty or thirty miles across the Dadu River.

The rain fell harder and harder, like a drenching, dousing the torches on both sides of the river. The enemy on the other side of the river could go no further and had to stop and camp. The Fourth Red Regiment, still advancing in the dark and braving the rain, finally arrived at Luding Bridge in the early morning of the 29th, leaving behind the two brigades of enemy reinforcements.

Luding Bridge is several feet above the water and is made up of 13 chains: two on each side, which are considered to be the bridge rails; nine side by side underneath, laying wooden planks, which is the bridge deck. People walking on the bridge swaying, like swinging. Now even the planks have been removed by the enemy, leaving only the chains.

Looking down to the bridge, one is really frightened, the reddish-brown river water like a waterfall, from the upstream gorges straight down, impact on the rocks, splashing more than ten feet high waves, the sound of the waves is deafening.

The city of Luding on the other side of the bridge had its back to the mountains, and its west gate faced the bridge. The two regiments of the enemy defending the city had long ago built fortifications on the walls and hillsides, and with the dangers of the sky, frantically shouted to the Red Army, "Come on, let's see you fly over here!"

The Fourth Red Regiment immediately launched a general attack. The regimental commander and political commissar personally stood on the bridge to direct the battle. Buglers blew the charge horn, all the weapons fired at once, the sound of gunfire, shouting and killing, all of a sudden shook the valley.

The second company acted as the assault team, 22 heroes with short rifles, carrying sabers and grenades, braved the enemy's dense gunfire and climbed the chain to the other side of the river. Following them was the third company, the soldiers, in addition to their weapons, each with a plank, paving the bridge as they advanced.

The commandos had just rushed to the opposite bank when the enemy set fire to the bridge, which was immediately surrounded by flames. In the nick of time, came the shouts of the regimental commander and political commissar: "Comrades! For the cause of the Party, for the final victory, charge!"

Hearing the Party's call, the heroes were even more defiant, and they all arrowed through the blazing fire, rushed into the city, and the enemy in the city began a fierce struggle. After two hours of fierce fighting, the enemy defending the city was eliminated most of them, and the rest fled in distress.

The Fourth Red Regiment bravely captured the Luding Bridge, achieving another decisive victory in the Long March. The main force of the Red Army crossed the heavenly danger of the Dadu River and marched to the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance.
