In China's modern history, the wars experienced by our country are definitely not in the minority. Since the expulsion of the Japanese invaders from China, China has fallen into a civil war. The civil war was, in a broad sense, a contest between socialism and capitalism, and the Communist Party, which ultimately represented socialism, won the final victory. During the civil war, the Nationalist army carried out five encirclement and suppression campaigns against our Party, and the first four encirclements and suppressions were successfully broken through by our army. However, during the last encirclement and suppression, because our army carried out the wrong command policy, it suffered very serious casualties and losses.
In order to preserve the effective strength of the troops, our army was forced to choose the Long March. During this period, he fought with the Kuomintang many times, and many heroes and heroes emerged. The most impressive of the many battles at that time was the capture of the Luding Bridge. But in this battle, the enemy did not choose to blow up the bridge but only to tear down the bridge plate on it.
At that time, the Sichuan Army troops stationed at Luding Bridge were stationed, and the Sichuan Army troops only dismantled the bridge slab and did not blow up the bridge. Later, Liu Wenhui, a general who was ordered to guard the Luding Bridge, said that it was only a fool who blew up.
First of all, the most important reason is that the geographical location of Luding Bridge is really too special, Luding Bridge was an important passage connecting the two banks of the big river at that time, if the bridge is blown up, and then want to cross the river must take a detour of dozens of miles, which is very unfavorable to the deployment and march of the army.
If the Sichuan army really blew up the bridge at that time, it would not only cause trouble for the army, but also directly affect the normal life of the surrounding people. We all know that the people are very important to a regime, and in order to ensure that the people will not make trouble and resist, Liu Wenhui can only give up blowing up the bridge.
Secondly, it was because Liu Wenhui did not expect at that time that the speed of our army's march would be so fast. According to relevant information, at that time, Liu Wenhui had just ordered the soldiers to remove the bridge, and before the work was completed, he saw a large force of our army appear on the opposite side of the bridge. This put great pressure on the Sichuan Army troops at that time.
According to Liu Wenhui's prediction, the Red Army should be able to reach the opposite side of the bridge after they had dismantled the bridge plate and then deployed the fortifications. It's just that the Red Army didn't follow Liu Wenhui's prediction, which made the Sichuan army at that time very hasty to throw itself into battle, where is there any time to think about blowing up the bridge? Finally, it is also because the Sichuan army itself does not have a strong will to fight, don't look at these Sichuan troops led by Liu Wenhui to serve Chiang Kai-shek, but they and Chiang Kai-shek are not the same heart, the Sichuan army did not blow up the bridge at that time, in fact, it also hoped to leave some room for turning. After all, Liu Wenhui and other troops only wanted to block the Red Army, and they did not hope to be able to wipe out the Red Army as much as Chiang Kai-shek did.
The final result was that the Red Army successfully won the Luding Bridge, and the victory in this battle directly laid a solid foundation for the final victory of our army. If the Luding Bridge had been destroyed at that time, the transfer of our army would have been more difficult, and in a sense, the Sichuan army really helped our army a lot.
It can be seen from this that the revolutionary ancestors of that year finally won victory after overcoming all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and we must cherish the achievements of their revolution, guard peace, and hope that there will be no more casualties caused by war in the future.
