"The Red Army is not afraid of expeditions and difficulties, and it is only idle in thousands of rivers and mountains." Even so in poetry, the road of the Long March really does not wait at all.
As we all know, after experiencing the failure of decision-making, the Red Army was forced to start a long march of more than 20,000 kilometers, which endured countless hardships and hardships along the way, and the number of more than 80,000 people at the time of departure was only more than 7,000 when they reached Gansu.
In addition to enemy attacks, the lack of food is also a huge problem, and eating leaves and nibbling on tree bark is a common occurrence.
However, there is such a place, when the Red Army passed through this place, the big fish and meat did not worry about eating and drinking, known as the "gas station" on the Long March Road, this place is Hadapu, what happened here in those years?
A terrifying long march
As we all know, the beginning of the Long March is inseparable from a person's failure in decision-making. In 1934, because someone's decision failed, the Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement and suppression failed, which led to the Red Army being forced to start a two-year long march of 25,000 miles.
In the course of the Long March, the Red Army fought more than 380 battles with the enemy, captured more than 700 counties and towns, and the consumption was also huge, more than 80,000 people were left with only 7,000 people, and more than 430 cadres at or above the battalion level sacrificed more than 430. The success of the Red Army shocked the whole world.
The reason why the Long March can shock the world is because the hardships of this road are unimaginable, even if many deeds have been expounded thousands of times by film and television works and literary works, it is still impossible to feel the cruelty and torture without personally experiencing all this.
How many difficulties did the Red Army experience in those years? First of all, the harsh environment, if you want to avoid the enemy's pursuit, you have to take the road that the enemy does not dare to take, cross the obstacles that the enemy does not dare to cross, all the places you pass are dangerous mountains and high roads, and many areas are sparsely populated, the Red Army is not only backward in weapons and equipment, lack of medical equipment and medicine, food is also very short, for the soldiers of the Red Army, eating leaves and nibbling on tree bark is a very common thing.
In such a bad situation, they still have to insist on fighting the enemy, and have fought many battles that are beautiful enough to amaze the whole world, such as crossing the Dadu River, flying to seize the Luding Bridge, etc. These classic battles have become eternal in the history books.
"Gas Station" on Long March Road
The Red Army marched from northern Sichuan for three months, and during these three months they set foot in sparsely populated areas, and the harsh environment and lack of supplies tortured the soldiers, but fortunately, three months later they came to Gannan and hadapu.
When the vanguard of the Red Army first entered the town, the residents of the town still looked at these ragged soldiers with suspicious eyes, and later learned that these soldiers were Red Army soldiers, although they were far away in Gannan, but they had also heard about the deeds of the Red Army, admired the Red Army soldiers, and did their best to provide relief to the Red Army soldiers.
The residents of the town are a little afraid of life, at first it was just some more courageous people to communicate with the Red Army soldiers, the local residents and the Red Army soldiers after getting acquainted, will send them a lot of food, the women in the town will also take the hand of the female soldiers to invite them to their homes as guests, for the Red Army soldiers to serve rich dishes, as the intersection of the two sides increases, the relationship is getting better and better.
With the entry of the headquarters, the Red Army and Hadapu were completely integrated, and the headquarters also promulgated the "Rules for Muslim Areas", which is mainly three articles: first, it is forbidden to enter mosques without permission; second, it is not allowed to borrow Hui people's daily necessities at will; third, it is forbidden to kill pigs and eat pork in Huimin areas.
The headquarters also added funds to each unit to purchase food, they bought sheep, chicken and other meat and various fruits and vegetables from the local residents, and the soldiers stationed in Hadapu were able to eat meat almost every day, sometimes even two or three meat dishes a day.
The First Street of the Long March of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army
The name Hadapu can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, and it is recorded in the "Qing History Draft", it is said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Fubo general Ma Yuan took on the task of defending the nine tribes of Hadachuan.
The word "Hada" appears here, but "Hada River" means a hill where crows gather. Some scholars today hold different views, some scholars believe that "Hada" refers to the most sacred "Hada" of the Tibetan people, and the word "shop" is likely to be an ancient caravanserai.
Hadapu is located in the northwest of Tangchang County, about thirty-seven kilometers from the county seat, here the traffic is developed, densely populated, the whole town has a total of twenty-nine villages, a total of nearly 6,000 people, here agriculture is very developed, rich in wheat, potatoes and other crops, but also rich in Chinese medicinal materials, some medicinal materials are exported overseas, no wonder it can become the "gas station" of the Red Army.
For the Red Army, Hadapu also has a special significance, when the great man led the Red Army stationed here for a week, in a meeting during this week, the great man proposed to "go to northern Shaanxi", which later the Red Army settled in northern Shaanxi, and then there was a great victory later, so for the Red Army, Hadapu is the real sense of "gas station".
Nowadays, Hadapu has become a tourist attraction, and the street where the Red First Army was stationed was known as the "First Street of the Red Army's Long March", if you have the opportunity, you must go to see it.
brief summary:
Hadapu has a special significance for the Red Army, it is a gas station on the Long March Road, and it is also here at the meeting that they finally came to the guidance of fate and made the decision to go to northern Shaanxi, putting these together, as if Hadapu was the turning point of the Red Army?
It seems to be understandable, but there is no need to exaggerate, the final victory of the Red Army has something to do with this meeting, and most importantly, the Red Army has worked together to carry through many hard battles, walked through countless mountains and snow, and rushed out of the double encirclement of nature and the enemy, and their willpower can break through all incoming enemies, which is the key to victory.
If possible, I really call on everyone to know more about some stories and deeds on the Long March Road, not just watch some film and television works, most of the film and television works show a beautiful side, understand the real cruelty, you will definitely have more gains.
This was only the Long March, and then there was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were also the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and various border conflicts, and after so many cruel wars, this is how stable and peaceful today, and how hard-won everything we have today is.
Everyone's abilities are different, their talents are different, and their achievements are different, but no matter how high or low their talents are, whether they are poor or poor, they must always uphold a patriotic heart, and knowing more about these cruel histories can enhance our patriotic feelings.
Each of us is a child, living under the protection of the mother's motherland's wings, and what we should do is to make the mother's wings more plump and strong, more great, and able to take us to higher places.
