Behind the glamorous successes are often tragic failures. - Caption
The republic came from the mud, and now it is exactly 72 years, in fact, leaving aside the war before the founding of the country, the economic development of the motherland after the founding of the country alone has encountered indescribable difficulties.
Without technology to support the development of science and technology, without the backing of money and capital, in the face of the motherland that is now taking off and developing, the ancestors who once worked for the development of the motherland really paid too much.
In addition to this group of people who have dedicated themselves to the development of the country, there is another group of people in the Republic who should not be forgotten, they are the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the founding of the motherland. In particular, the 20,000 soldiers who lost their lives in the inhuman torture of the Ma family army. Although the Ma family army eventually fled in defeat, no longer had the scenery of the past, and even left a military order that could never be realized, the sacrifice of these soldiers is forever worth remembering.
Discover a large number of weapons
Since the founding of New China, many policies to benefit the people have been pioneered, including a rural transformation project, which has made many farmers feel the preferential treatment of the state, and farmers in Qinghai in 2000 were also one of them.
At that time, many old-fashioned adobe houses were demolished, but in the process of demolition, some surprising things were found, and in the bulldozed adobe walls, people found that there were many things wrapped in tarpaulin, just like in the TV series, the contents of these oil-paper packages must have been very precious, so people carefully unwrapped these oil-paper packages, only to find that they were all sabers used by cavalry.
In the Qinghai region, the latest army with a saber can be traced, and the Ma family army must be mentioned. It should be known that the handle of these sabers is still shiny, and the length is basically more than 85 centimeters, which is obviously a regular military weapon.
Moreover, these knives can be heard to the buzzing sound of weapons when they are taken out, and they are used to cut wood and other items, which is also the quality of cutting iron like mud, which shows its sharpness.
Later, after investigation, it was learned that the owners of this batch of weapons were really the Ma Jiajun who once occupied the northwest for a while, but this batch of weapons did not wait for the day when they were really used, and the owners who owned them also disappeared in the long river of history, and there was no longer the scenery of the year, but the damage they caused to our army will never be forgotten.
Inhumane to the Red Army
The development opportunities of Ma Jiajun must also start from the period at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, when the Qing government was cowardly and incompetent, there was a rebellion in the northwest region, the Ma family took advantage of the rebellion, and finally received the official title of the Qing government, completing the road of whitewashing of the Ma Family Army.
Later, the Ma family developed an army according to this, because it was located in the northwest and sparsely populated, and the Ma family gradually established its prestige here, and they were already one of the famous warlords in the country when the Qing Dynasty fell.
In the 1930s, when the whole country was at a critical moment of resisting foreign aggression, our Party, in order to unite all the forces that could be united, even did not hesitate to "freeze the previous suspicions" Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang contingent to unite against Japan.
Although Chiang Kai-shek ostensibly agreed to the unanimous resistance against Japan due to the pressure of public opinion, if there is an opportunity to weaken the strength of our Party, Chiang Kai-shek will not let it go easily.
So he made contact with the Majia army entrenched in the northwest, and the leader of the Majia army at that time was Ma Bufang, who was originally a warlord, and they had long been unhappy with the "deeds" of the Red Army, so when Chiang Kai-shek asked him for help, he immediately agreed.
In 1937, the Western Route Army led by Xu Xiangqian came to the Ningxia area, preparing to open up the international track and win a greater chance of winning the War of Resistance Against Japan, but it did not expect that what awaited the Western Route Army was the brutal killing of Ma Jiajun.
Because the soldiers of the Western Route Army were unprepared and unfamiliar with the local terrain and landforms, they were soon surrounded by the Majia Army, which had long been ambushed here, and eventually 20,000 soldiers were buried here, which was also the largest casualty since the founding of our army.
Moreover, in addition to the brutal killing of our Red Army soldiers, their methods against the captured soldiers were also heinous, and the captured fighters not only did not receive preferential treatment, but died even more miserable, some were cut off their hands and feet, some were buried alive, and some were used as live targets to shoot randomly.
It can be said that the crimes committed by Ma Jiajun against the Red Army are too numerous to count, so this seed of hatred has been buried in the hearts of The Soldiers of the Red Army until the arrival of the day of liberation.
The last military order
In 1949, the national liberation situation was very good, and the liberation of the northwest was just around the corner, and originally this liberation was also put under the command of Xu Xiangqian, but his body was very weak, so he had to let Peng Dehuai take command.
Peng Dehuai had long hated the Ma family army to the bone, and soon beat them to death, and in the face of the surrender uprising, our army did not accept it, this is for the revenge of the 20,000 soldiers, and they will not give up until they reach their goal.
The Ma family's army was defeated, and they knew that if they were caught by our army, they would not be able to escape the people's trial, so before the war was officially over, they began to plot to escape. And on the eve of his escape, Ma Bufang, as the leader, also issued a military order, which was also his last military order: the sword and gun entered the warehouse, and the horse was put on the South Mountain, waiting for the order of the horse commander.
That is to say, he is still preparing for the moment of comeback, but history proves that the scenery of Ma Jiajun has also become a memory in people's hearts since then, and it no longer exists.
The remnants of the Ma family army waited for this order for a lifetime, and even hid their weapons in the walls, but all this was just a fantasy.
brief summary:
In the eyes of Ma Jiajun, soldiers are only the carriers of power, while in the eyes of the Red Army, soldiers are flesh and blood people, perhaps this is the fundamental difference between the two before, and will go to the end of the two in the subsequent life and death contest.
The defeat of the Ma family army is doomed, no commander only knows that the fleeing team will succeed, and the success of the Red Army is also doomed, and no army that is really the master of the people will always fail.
Perhaps it is precisely this failure that will make the Red Army that has come out of failure more with the characteristics of a thousand hammers and hammers, and will come out again and again in the subsequent suffering.
Whether Ma Jiajun left the last military order or not, we firmly believe that if there are any more offenders of China, or similar incidents that undermine unity, only the iron-blooded wrists of the strong ships and cannons are waiting for them!
