But these Red Army soldiers were just ordinary people, not trained and professional mountaineers. Not to mention those mountaineers who have sufficient security and have learned in later generations. They have no professional mountaineering training, let alone professional climbing tools, and they are not even guaranteed the most basic food.

In the case of continuous marching at high altitudes, there is a significant decrease in physical fitness. In a situation where there are basically no material preparations, and the body is generally malnourished, it is too dangerous to pass through a high mountain pass at an altitude of more than 4,500 meters.

Even if it is a professional, there are all kinds of mountaineering equipment and adequate supplies for mountaineering enthusiasts. Unless it is a person who does some kind of extreme challenge, he will not climb so many mountains at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters in one breath without sufficient rest and serious lack of supplies. It's not mountaineering or the outdoors, it's definitely dying.

This Dangling Snow Mountain is the highest altitude among these snow-capped mountains, and it has exceeded the limit of ordinary people who can climb the mountain without equipment. The altitude of Dangling Snow Mountain, which is 54,500 meters above sea level and more than 4,900 meters above sea level, is very different in temperature and oxygen content for every 100 meters above sea level. For ordinary people, it is simply impossible to bear without adequate preparation.

Even if it is only a pass, the altitude of the pass alone is higher than the height of several snow-capped mountains that have been passed. At that time, Li Ziyuan, who came down from the previous snowy mountains, was already exhausted and hungry and cold. Looking at this snow-capped mountain with the highest altitude during the entire Red Army's Long March, I was really a little stunned.

In later generations, Dangling Mountain and Haizi Mountain on the side are one of the paradises for beginners in Sichuan mountaineering. At an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, it is not too steep, and it is just right for beginners to practice mountaineering. It is a good entry mountain for those who have no foundation before entering the 6,000-meter peak, that is, before touching the threshold of real climbing.

However, he was accompanied by professional guidance, wearing professional mountaineering clothes with strong warmth, and wearing not only comfortable hiking boots under his feet, but also professional equipment such as ice grabs and ice axes. The most important thing is that there is enough food for the mountaineering and medicine for mountain sickness.

Even before climbing like this, it is necessary not only to adjust your routine and rest to nourish your body, but also to replenish calories as much as possible. After arriving in the mountains, it takes a certain amount of time to get used to it. And at this altitude, even if you only pass through the pass, it is very physically challenging.

When I played in the Dangling Snow Mountain in my later life, it was when I passed through this snow mountain pass, and I almost finished playing because of the sudden alpine reaction. This was because I had enough medicines to carry at the time, and the backpack I was carrying was full of high-calorie food. He wears a professional alpine mountaineering suit and hot hiking boots on his feet.

But what was the situation when I entered Dangling Mountain at that time, I had a pair of rotten straw sandals on my feet. In addition to a torn sheepskin jacket on his body, there was also a set of homespun military uniforms that had been tattered. What others don't have, he doesn't have either. Not only him, but from the army commander to the soldiers below, basically the material treatment is almost the same.

Not to mention oil and water in his stomach, he didn't even have much basic food, and he was carrying a Sichuan-made Hanyang-made horse pistol on his back. Although there were only five bullets, the broken gun, which was almost worn out, was not light for me at that time. In this case, even if it is a pass, the altitude is more than 4,900 meters above sea level, and it is strange that Li Ziyuan, who knows the common sense of mountaineering, is not stunned.

Before entering the Dangling Mountains, I did climb a few snow-capped mountains. But the altitude of those snow-capped mountains is much lower than that of Dangling Mountain. The highest is only 41,200 meters, but the altitude of the pass of Dangling Mountain is far more than the previous ones. Anyone who climbs a mountain knows that as you rise 100 meters above sea level, the temperature and oxygen content change.

At that time, I was a little afraid and muttered a little, and I did have the idea of becoming a deserter. At that time, Li Ziyuan, who had just joined the Red Army and had not yet undergone too many proletarian tests, did not want to die on this snow-capped mountain. As for the theory that man will conquer the sky, in Li Ziyuan's opinion at that time, it was nonsense. If a person wins, it is a victory, and if he loses, it is heaven.

This snow-capped mountain is not only a physical test of people, but also a test of people's willpower. At a height of 5,000 meters, that's definitely not fun. He now has no mountaineering clothes, no high-calorie food, and no medicine for altitude sickness that is necessary for mountaineering. I can't do this Dangling Mountain, I went up but couldn't come down.

Li Ziyuan's fear was not without reason, and crossing snow-capped mountains and grasslands was the stage with the most non-combat attrition in the entire Red Army's Long March. It is also true that on the way up and down the mountain, a large number of soldiers who had been fighting for a long time and who were physically exhausted due to the shortage of food died in the snowy mountains.

At an altitude of more than 4,000 meters above sea level, a small cold and flu can kill people. What's more, these warriors have thin clothes on their bodies. The snow-capped mountains that have been continuously climbed in front have overdrawn their physical strength and energy, and a large number of sick people have appeared. Compared with other snow-capped mountains, there are more people left on the mountain because of the higher altitude when crossing Dangling Mountain.

What's more, this is a group of snow-capped mountains, and the Dangling Snow Mountain, which is more than 5,400 meters above sea level, is only the main peak in this group of mountains, and there are dozens of snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 4,600 meters above sea level. This snow-capped mountain is not the first of the endless snow-capped mountains, but it will definitely not be the last, which Li Ziyuan is very sure of.

The reason why Li Ziyuan made up his mind to join the Red Army was not only guided by some incorrect concepts, but also a kind of outward desire under the prisoner's predicament. He didn't want to die, let alone die on this mountain several thousand meters high. At that time, when he arrived at the foot of Dangling Mountain, the idea of desertion was constantly circling in his mind.

Knowing the current situation, it is dangerous to go to an altitude of 5,000 meters. Because of the short time he has been in the army, he has not had time to receive some education in depth. Li Ziyuan, whose mind is still full of ideas decades later, after the passion brought by the beginning of joining the army slowly faded, facing a difficult environment and strict discipline, it would be pure nonsense to say that he didn't want to run.

It's just that when he made up his mind to run, Wang Cheng kept staring at him. The people from the Security Bureau also came to the troops from time to time to check, and the cold eyes made Li Ziyuan dare not look at each other. Wang Cheng's vigilance is good for Li Ziyuan, even if he is captured by Wang Cheng, Li Ziyuan knows that he will not do anything to himself.

But in the face of the cold gaze of the person from the Security Bureau, Li Ziyuan was extremely afraid, and even directly dispelled the idea of escaping. After all, if you climb the snowy mountain, you will not necessarily die on the mountain. But if you enter the Security Bureau, it is not certain whether you can get out alive.

There is not so much truth to talk about in this day and age, and no one gives you so many rights. He later had a high school classmate who was sent by his family to join the army after graduating from high school. Because I couldn't stand the pain, I ran back a few days later. At that time, the punishment was only expulsion from the military.

Oh, at that time, that person had not yet been discharged, and it was not considered expulsion, but only sent home. At that time, there were no too severe sanctions for deserters in the recruit company. Generally, even military tribunals are not enough, after all, peacetime is not war years, and the requirements for military discipline are still different.

But the problem is that in this day and age, no one talks to you about rights. Deserters, once caught, are severely punished. As for dragging a gun and running away, that's a death. Running away without a gun might be considered a simple deserter. But if you drag your gun and run away, you will surrender to the enemy, and as long as you are caught, you will only die.

The most important thing is that it is better to escape. But if you can't escape and be caught back, then there will be no face in the ranks of the Red Army. This face is still a must, he doesn't have such a thick skin. As for the Sichuan-made Hanyang-made carbine, Li Ziyuan would never bring it. If you bring that thing back, you have to shoot it.

At that time, if the troops were marching across the snowy mountains in a hurry and there was no time to catch the deserters, Li Ziyuan might have really escaped regardless of it. But the problem was that in order to reduce non-combat attrition as much as possible when going over the mountain, the troops had rested for more than a day at the foot of the Dangling Snow Mountain, which made Li Ziyuan a little big at that time.

Rest means that there is time, and when there is time, someone will catch deserters. In addition, he really didn't want to go back to that home, and he didn't know where to go when he left the team. I'm even more afraid of being caught as a slave by those minority toasts. In western Sichuan during this era, the number of Han Chinese was far less than that of the local ethnic minorities. Before the troops marched in this area, they were told not to be left behind as much as possible.

Among the several choices that are also not good, he can only choose which one is safer and more promising at the moment. Fortunately, when he crossed the snowy mountains, those experienced veterans gave him a lot of help. One of the chiefs also gave him a horse's tail, and let him drag and pull him over the huge group of snow-capped mountains.

After passing the Dangling Snow Mountain, other snow mountains such as Scissors Bend Mountain behind did not make Li Ziyuan so afraid. In fact, Li Ziyuan thinks about it now, when he wanted to be a deserter, it was not the three times that the old squad leader said. In fact, there were only two times when he really wanted to run, once before entering the meadow, and once when he climbed the Dangling Snow Mountain, which he still remembers.

As for the snow-capped mountains in front and behind, after Li Ziyuan adjusted his mentality and walked out of the shadow in his heart, there was no big problem. And those snow-capped mountains with lower altitudes did not make Li Ziyuan so afraid in his heart like Dangling Mountain.

After all, he likes outdoor activities in later generations, although the situation of material shortage cannot be changed, but the experience of mountaineering is still richer. Although he was frozen half to death, he almost fainted several times along the way due to physical exhaustion. But luckier than those comrades-in-arms who stayed on the snowy mountain forever, they still walked out safely all the way.

Not only did I see many landscapes that have disappeared due to the greenhouse effect in later generations along the way, but I also saw a truly wild giant panda for the first time. The area where the Red Army crossed the snow-capped mountains is also the main distribution range and activity area of the Chinese giant panda, a national treasure of later generations. When Li Ziyuan was passing through the Dangling Snow Mountain, he happened to see a wild giant panda that was difficult to see in later generations.

The most important thing is that after two tests, Li Ziyuan understood that people's willpower is controllable, and their potential is unlimited at critical times. If you push yourself at a critical time, you can really force some out. It was also the test of snow-capped mountains and grasslands that made Li Ziyuan change from a greenhouse college student in later generations to a truly and completely sharp change to a soldier.
