Difficulties in the Long March:
"Bitter? Think about the25,000-mile long March. " This is by no means a joke, but a sentence telling the story of the Long March. It is the most striking and emotional mark left for future generations, and that is the word "bitterness".
On the way to the Long March, the officers and men of the Red Army suffered endless hardships. The fierce fighting brought about by the enemy's layers of siege and round after round of encirclement and interception has put the officers and men of the Red Army through a severe test of life and death.
The Red Army crossed steep mountains and fast-flowing rivers with its feet, and the difficulties, obstacles and pains among them can be imagined.
In the cold and hunger, the Red Army climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, chewed bark and chewed vegetable roots, and went through hardships, leaving an earth-shattering story.
When Marshal Nie Rongzhen recalled this period of history, he wrote sadly: "The environment is really hard. Many of our comrades-in-arms were so brave that they did not die in the battle, but they fell painfully in the arduous trek of lack of food and medicine, hunger and cold, illness and lack of oxygen on the plateau. "
Crossing the grassland is the most intense struggle between man and nature in the Red Army's Long March, and it is also the greatest sacrifice, and it is also a difficult journey that determines the success or failure of the Red Army's Long March.
In August, the 1st 1 1 regiment of 1936 Red Third Army Corps (later renamed Red Third Army Corps), led by its head Deng Guoqing and political commissar Wang Ping, entered the vicinity of Maoergai from Heishui to prepare for the grass.
This grassland is more than 500 miles long and 300 miles wide. Moreover, the plateau is cold, the air is thin and the climate is changeable. Sometimes the wind blows hard, sometimes it rains, and sometimes the hail plummets. There are countless deep-water quagmires in which people and animals get stuck and are swallowed up in a few minutes.
During the seven-day hard life on the grassland, the Red Eleven people encountered many great difficulties. For example, find a mouse hole, dig a mouse out to make soup to satisfy hunger, or pick mushrooms to find wild vegetables. Although there are few belts or leather shoes, they should be cooked and eaten.
On the way, I met the dead horse bones in front of me and ate bloody bones to satisfy my hunger. In case there are undigested wheat grains in the feces pulled by troops or horses in front, they will pick them up and stuff them in their mouths without washing them. Although various methods are used to solve the hunger problem, there are still many stragglers who can't get out of the grass.
A soldier recalled the dilemma of not eating grass and said, "After the big grass, there was nothing to eat. As a result, all the mice in a village were eaten up. I am really sorry for cats and dogs. " The soldier tactfully portrayed optimism and humor.
The Red Army arrived at Hadapu after a rest across the grassland, and finally had a hearty meal. Hadapu is a good place for crops such as grain, and local people send Guo kui to the Red Army.
At that time, because they didn't eat for a long time, all the Red Army soldiers ate, and all the pot helmets were dry. When they drink water, they hold the water in their bellies. Normal people feel uncomfortable when they hold it up. After such a long time without eating or drinking, it was cold and plateau, and they ate so much at once. Many people suffocated because of starvation, and nine Red Army soldiers died there.
1952 During the Battle of Blackwater, the Light Cavalry Division 137 Regiment of the China People's Liberation Army's West Line Force, which was ordered to fight bandits in Blackwater, found the remains of 12 on the mountain.
Tang Chenghai, 14 1 regimental leader, used to be a Red Army soldier. When he arrived at the scene, he confirmed that it was the remains of a Red Army soldier during the Long March 17 years ago, and judged that 12 soldier was an established class, who spent the night in Yakexia Snow Mountain and died of low temperature and lack of oxygen. The people's liberation army, which took part in the fight against bandits, collected remains, built graves and erected monuments. This is the tomb of the Red Army martyrs with the highest altitude.
Why is our Party, our Red Army, willing to suffer the great sufferings of this world? Because their sufferings and hardships are linked with their life beliefs and spiritual foundation.
Bitterness is a kind of taste that the officers and men of the Red Army have tasted the most in the long journey. However, the officers and men of the Red Army who are wholeheartedly following the Party have never been afraid of difficulties and hardships, showing fearless revolutionary heroism and indomitable and high-spirited fighting spirit.
