As a main force of the Red Army, the Western Route Army had a very strong combat capability, but it was almost completely destroyed in a battle that year. Except for the soldiers who died, those wounded on the battlefield did not escape the disaster in the end, and only a small number of the warriors survived, and this battle was a fierce battle that took place in the Hexi Corridor.
At the time of the confluence of the main forces of the Red Army, the leaders of the Central Committee drew up a careful battle plan in October 1936 and decided to capture Ningxia. The Western Route Army received orders to cross the Yellow River and then head north to Ningxia. Because of the local special terrain and the Red Army's lack of supplies in the battle, coupled with the strong local power of the enemy army, only a few fighters survived, including Zheng Weishan.
In this vicious war, because of the local forces that have been entrenched for many years. Our army is not familiar with the environment along the Hexi Corridor, and has not established a base area in the local area, which can be said to be a situation of fighting alone. The most crucial point is that when the soldiers fought, our logistical supplies did not keep up, and for various reasons our army suffered a crushing defeat in this war.
At that time, most of them were killed on the battlefield, and most of the wounded who came down were also found by Ma Jiajun on the way to escape. Zheng Weishan was seriously wounded on the battlefield because he was hit in the head by a shell, leaving his flesh and blood blurred and indistinguishable. However, he still used his perseverance to go down the Qilian Mountain, and eventually fell into a coma due to lack of physical strength.
Zheng Weishan fainted at the foot of the mountain, when a kind villager found him. Because Zheng Weishan was bleeding too much at this time, the compatriots understood that a Red Army soldier at this time knew that they were injured in order to liberate the poor people of all Of China, so he risked being killed by the enemy to carry Zheng Weishan home, wash his wounds, and find Langzhong to make him sick.
Under the treatment of his fellow villagers, Zheng Weishan, who was seriously injured, finally picked up a life. The fellow villagers saw him awake and asked him why he had become like this, Zheng Weishan knew at this time that the Western Route Army had been defeated, and the soldiers were almost completely destroyed, and he shed painful tears after surviving, and the picture of the heroic sacrifice of the soldiers appeared in front of him at this time, and he vowed to avenge the sacrifice of the soldiers.
Under the care of his fellow villagers, Zheng Weishan recovered his healthy body, and he decided to return to Yan'an because he wanted to avenge the sacrifice of the warriors. Because he was penniless, he had to ask for food all the way through Gansu, Qinghai and other places, and the hardships along the way were unimaginable to ordinary people. In 1937, Zheng Weishan finally returned to Yan'an and found the organization.
When he was in Yan'an, he deeply realized that it was impossible to confront Ma Jiajun on his own. In order to improve his ability, he entered the Kang Da to study military theory, laying a solid foundation for giving full play to his superiority on the battlefield in the future. When he was studying at Kang Da, he often read until late at night, because he knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, that is, to avenge the Western Route Army!
At this time, Zheng Weishan seemed to be lying down and tasting his guts, sacrificing soldiers for the sake of the Western Route Army, and even more poor people throughout China. After years of polishing, Zheng Weishan has become an excellent, he has a wealth of military theory, many times meritorious service by the superior praise. When the three major battles were over, the central government decided to let the First Field Army rush to the Great Northwest, and Zheng Weishan was ordered to participate.
When the field army came to Lanzhou, the enemy army entangled many forces stationed here, so Lanzhou became a hard bone. Our army was commanded by Peng Dehuai, and Zheng Weishan was the commander of the 63rd Army at this time, and he was able to fight the enemy again, and he was eager to kill his brothers immediately. One day in August 1949, Peng Dehuai commanded our army to divide into three roads and besiege the city of Lanzhou.
Under the command of Peng Dehuai, the generals of our army and the Ma family army launched a bloody battle, and Zheng Weishan was already angry at this time, as if he saw the soldiers who died in that year shouting and cheering for themselves! He ordered the concentration of artillery fire and firing at Ma Bufang's bunker. Watching the vengeful shells shooting at the bunkers, Zheng Weishan's heart boiled with blood, because each shell represented hatred.
The Ma family army's bunker was soon in disarray under the continuous attack of Zheng Weishan's artillery fire. The Ma family army still made a final struggle, they tried to counterattack our army, but they were attacked by Zheng Weishan's troops, and the bright red flag was planted on the enemy's position. After seven days and seven nights of fighting, our army annihilated a total of 27,000 enemy troops, making contributions to the victory of the War of Liberation.
summary:
When the smoke of gunfire cleared, everything returned to calm. Zheng Weishan came to the foot of the mountain alone and looked at the undulating Qilian Mountain, but his mood could not be calm. It was as if the sound of artillery fire on the battlefield in front of 12 was heard again, and the soldiers around them fell down one by one, their eyes already blurred. It is said that the boy is full of ambition and pride, but Zheng Weishan has already bowed down to him.
After the founding of New China, Zheng Weishan was awarded lieutenant general for his many meritorious service, but in his heart he could not forget the soldiers who sacrificed. In order to be able to comfort his soul, he told future generations that they must throw their ashes on the Qilian Mountains after their death, so that they can reunite with the sacrificed people again and never be separated.
