readx;? Some foreigners are very curious about one of the phenomena when they see the films, television, books, and other materials of the Red Army's Long March climbing snow-capped mountains: Why they would rather die than peel off the clothes of their dead comrades-in-arms to protect themselves from the cold even though they are shivering with cold, and even think that this is a very stupid behavior and idea. In this regard www.biquge.info I can only respond with another question: In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, what supported the Volunteer Army to defeat the United Army when weapons and equipment and joint ** were not at all the same level?

In his article, a Chinese military expert gave the best response to the point: Chinese people can sacrifice everything, including their own lives, for the sake of the motherland and their comrades-in-arms, while the military personnel of certain countries can do whatever it takes for their own lives, including the motherland -- this is the best answer, and it is also the essence of a certain country that has studied for decades but has not been able to do anything.

Of course, the concept of 'death is greater' in traditional Chinese thought is also one of the important reasons.

"Instructor, do you think this is going to be a foreign country?"

Because before crossing the snowy mountain, someone jokingly asked what was behind the snowy mountain, and Hu Yingze responded with a smile when he heard this: After crossing the snowy mountain, you will go abroad, and everyone can travel abroad.

Now, it has crossed the Zhongdian Snow Mountain. Because the atmosphere was dull and not conducive to the march, some comrades chatted in whispers.

The comrades laughed, but in such a short time, there was a sudden strong wind in all directions, ice and snow danced, and the beaters were dizzy. Bamboo hats, cloaks, umbrellas, etc. were all broken. In addition, the air was thin, it was difficult to breathe, and the troops had nowhere to hide, so they did not dare to stop even if they wanted to. I'm even more afraid that I will accidentally fall into the snow pit and ice crevices.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of fierce shelling behind me.

Could it be that the Kuomintang reactionaries are chasing after them? They also dare to climb the snow-capped mountains -- when the Central Red Army pours over the snowy mountains, the Kuomintang troops do not dare to pursue them. They turned their heads to look back as they walked, but because they were on the back of the second snow-capped mountain at this time, they couldn't see anything.

Soon, though, the ice and snow turned into wind and rain...... A few days later, everyone learned that it turned out that the commander of the regiment, Wang Political Commissar, who was leading the follow-up troops, was about to reach the top of the Zhongdian Daxue Mountain, and when he saw that the ice and snow were too heavy, he ordered a mortar to fire a volley into the sky with heavy firepower. (This is a true story, recorded in the prefectural records)

Zhongdian area is located in the northwest of Yunnan, belongs to the Kang-Tibet Plateau, snow all year round, sparsely populated, most of the local residents are Tibetan, language barrier, transportation is very difficult.

Everyone endured hunger and braved the wind and snow to enter Zhongdian City, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, which is the location of Guihua Temple, the largest lama temple in Yunnan.

At this time, in addition to the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, the troops also specifically stipulated that they were not allowed to 'live in the scripture hall, destroy the scriptures, or touch the altar of the gods.'

It has to be said that they got the 'wealth' left behind by the Central Red Army. Although the language barrier and the fact that everyone looked very dilapidated, whether it was the local people or the lamas, as soon as they saw the five-pointed red star in the Red Army hat, they would smile and take out their best things to receive the Red Army. To be honest, they didn't have much to come up with, but for the Red Army, which was already exhausted, it was an absolute relief.

After a short rest, the troops left Yunnan and entered the Kangding area. The masses brought flour and barley flour to welcome the Red Army -- all thanks to the Central Red Army.

As an activist, Zhang Qingshan participated in the activist meeting held by the 26th Army Corps. At the meeting, Political Commissar Wang Zhen further talked about the current situation, the superior conditions for joining forces in the northwest and the establishment of a national anti-Japanese base area, the great significance, and the combat tasks, which greatly boosted the morale of all commanders and fighters.

It was at this time that the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps were divided into two columns and advanced towards Ganzi. (The 2nd Army Corps was the left column, passing through Derong, Ba'an, and Baiyu, and on June 30, it joined the 30th Army of the 4th Front Army at Rongbacha.) The Sixth Army Corps was the right column, passing through Dingxiang, Daocheng, Lihua, and Zhanhua, and on June 22 it went to Puyulong in Ganzi to join the general headquarters of the Fourth Front Army. He met with Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng, Zhang Guotao, personnel of the General Headquarters, and some senior cadres of the Fourth Front Army. ）

The Red Sixth Army Corps, to which the assault company belonged, continued northward, climbed the last snow-capped mountain of 75 kilometers up and down, and entered Zangba.

From crossing the Jinsha River to arriving at Zangba, the march all the way is high mountains and mountains, Yangzang trails, a total of three big snow mountains, three small snow mountains. Despite the various measures taken by the superiors, many comrades still died on the snow-capped mountains.

Some comrades fell down suddenly while walking, and the comrades next to them hurriedly pulled it, but as a result, because of their own fatigue and other reasons, not only did they not hold it, but they fell down with it, rolling down with the snow slope...... When everyone hurried to the two people, they found that both of them had already died.

In the end, some comrades saw that they could not walk, and estimated that they would not be able to climb the snowy mountain, and they did not want to involve other comrades, so they gritted their teeth and simply threw themselves to the side of the road, and then rolled down the snowy slope to the mountain, and died there......

It's heartbreaking. As far as Zhang Qingshan knew, his fellow townsman Xiang Yongxing died on the snow-capped mountain: at that time, Xiang Yongxing was injured in his left thigh and was carried on a stretcher, and he probably estimated that he would not be able to get out of the snow-capped mountain, and he didn't want to burden other comrades, so he turned over the stretcher while everyone was not paying attention, rolled down the snowy slope all the way, and shouted "Comrades, we must carry the revolution to the end......", and the listeners all wept bitterly......

And the most incredible thing is that Wang, the elder of the assault company cooking squad, actually climbed over the snowy mountain area in high spirits. You must know that when Lao Wang was in Zhongdian Snow Mountain, he almost died after only half of the climb, but no one expected that others were getting more and more difficult to walk, but he was good, and he actually walked more and more energetically. Even the two soldiers who were originally sent to take care of him came to the end, but they had to rely on Lao Wang's support to come victorious. He also used himself as an example to encourage everyone to 'climb over the snowy mountains is victory'. In this regard, his own explanation is: Lao Tzu has experienced a hundred battles, and the more he goes, the more adaptable he becomes, and he is naturally stronger than you little guys. got the unanimous white eyes and envy, and also set an example for everyone and boosted morale.

Climbed over the snow-capped mountains and arrived at Jiawa.

"Company commander, no, there are a lot of people in front!"

Turning around and looking at the snow-capped mountains with everyone, looking at the long queue on the snow-capped mountains, everyone felt a lot of emotion, but there was one thing in common: they finally defeated these snow-capped mountains!

When they heard the scout's report, everyone's first reaction was to pull out their guns, and their hearts were extremely angry, and their faces showed worry: this damn reactionary was so cunning that he didn't dare to chase us over the snowy mountains, but he was waiting for us here early, and he did it when we had just crossed the snowy mountains and were the weakest...... If this is the case, I am afraid that the entire Red Sixth Army will be blocked on the snowy mountain, and it is likely that there will be a catastrophe.

"How far is it from us?"

"It's not far, just two or three miles away. The scout turned and pointed to the hill a few hundred meters ahead, and said, "They're coming from the other side of the hill." ”

"Comrades, I will not say much about how critical the situation is. I have only one order: now it's up to our assault company, even if we fight to the last man, we have to defend the hill in front of Lao Tzu. Only by holding this bridgehead can the troops behind be deployed. Otherwise, not to mention our assault company, even the entire Sixth Army Corps may be driven back to the snowy mountains, and by that time...... Now, rush over with Lao Tzu and defend it!"

The assault company rushed violently and successfully occupied the small hill, but the next scene made everyone very puzzled: the enemy in front of them would never be less than fifteen hundred, but the problem was that they not only had the flag of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the front, but they also carried guns on their backs, and they carried all kinds of food in their hands, and some even pushed wheelbarrows, which were also covered with food or clothes. This is definitely not for war, but for comfort. Especially the 200 or so people who walked at the back of this procession, how do they look like ordinary people, not only do they have no guns, but everyone drives horse-drawn carts and ox-carts...... It is precisely because of their existence that everyone is not only confused, but also has a lot of vigilance.

Tian Guozhong looked at it and couldn't help but wonder: "Lao Zhang, they can't be wrong when they come to fight like this, right?"

"Yes, I've heard that this area is the territory of the Four Fronts, how could such an enemy get here under their noses...... Look at their military caps, each with a five-pointed red star. ”

Zhang Qingshan slapped his head and shouted softly: "Blame me, blame me, it's because I'm too anxious for a while...... However, it is indispensable to guard against people! Everyone must still be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard in case they are deceived. In this way, Baoyu, you go to the head of the Tian regiment and report the situation here to him...... Lao Hu, you and your comrades continue to be on guard here...... Lao Tian, you come with me to have a look. ”

Immediately, Zhang Qingshan took Tian Guozhong and a squad of soldiers to the 'enemy' from the side.

"Are you comrades of the Red Sixth Legion?" Zhang Qingshan and the others jumped out of the hill suddenly, although the way they appeared surprised the other party a little, but it was not beyond their expectations. One of the comrades who took the lead asked with a smile.

Zhang Qingshan looked at them and did not answer.

"We are the ...... of the Red Fourth Front"

This time, Zhang Qingshan spoke, interrupted the other party's words with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "You don't have to say who you are, just stay here." When our leaders and leaders get here, you can tell them......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled strangely: "Anyway, it's useless for you to tell me." As long as you don't move on, we'll wait here. If you don't listen to the greetings, hey!

The other party also understood what Zhang Qingshan was worried about: What if it was impersonated? These 2,000 people broke out, but the Red Sixth Army was at its weakest, and at that time, even if it was victorious, it would definitely be killed or wounded...... Although the two sides have radio contact, the assault company, as the pioneer, and the corps headquarters gathered more than ten miles away, on the snowy mountains, this distance, it is difficult for the corps headquarters to transmit the situation to the assault company at the first time, plus the two sides are meeting for the first time, and the nature is a little abrupt, such a misunderstanding is inevitable.

Therefore, the first meeting between the Red Sixth Army and the Red Fourth Front Army became such a scene: a squad stood in front of a regiment.

After the leader let the team rest in place, he walked to Zhang Qingshan's side alone, first scattered a circle of cigarettes, and then began to get close to Zhang Qingshan. Zhang Qingshan was also happy like this, so the two 'talked happily'!
