In early January 1935, when the Red Army captured Zunyi City, the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie led his troops to set up a military defense at Loushan Pass, and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division of the Red First Army to capture Loushan Pass in order to ensure the safety of the troops in Zunyi.
The leader of the fourth regiment was Geng Biao, under the leadership of the local compatriots, Geng Biao led his troops to copy the enemy's side bread, and in this battle, the Red Army won a great victory and completed the task.
After the Zunyi Conference, Chairman Mao, in order to free the Red Army detachment from the pursuit of more than 100,000 enemies, decided to return to Qianbei again, cross the Chishui River twice, retake Loushan Pass, and reoccupi the city of Zunyi.
This time, the task was given to the Red Third Army, and The commander of peng Dehuai gave the task to the Red Twelfth Regiment and the Thirteenth Regiment.
On February 25, the Battle of Loushan Pass was fought again, the Red Army soldiers were not afraid of sacrifice, heroically charged, then the political commissar of the 12th Regiment Zhong Chibing took the lead and led the soldiers to capture Loushan Pass, for this, he paid a great price, seriously wounded in the leg, and was later amputated.
Kong Xianquan, who was then the operational staff officer of the 12th Regiment, was also seriously injured due to the excessive charge.
After the war, the guards decided to leave a group of soldiers who could not move with the army to stay at the home of the local compatriots to recuperate, including Zhong Chibing and Kong Xianquan, Zhong Chibing heard that he wanted to stay, said that he did not agree to anything, he said that he was climbing, even if he died, he also had to follow the team, and in the end, Peng Dehuai promised him and took him away.
Kong Xianquan stayed, and perhaps what Kong Xianquan did not expect was that his life path had completely changed when he stayed.
Kong Xianquan, a native of Liuyang, Hunan, was born in 1911, and at the age of 17, he joined the local peasant Red Guards, and at the age of 19, he officially joined the Red Army, serving as a soldier in Peng Dehuai's troops, and he had served as Peng Dehuai's platoon leader.
After the Zunyi Conference, the Red Third Army abolished the division's designation and had four regiments under its jurisdiction, namely the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Regiments, and Kong Xianquan served as the operational staff officer of the 12th Regiment at that time.
During the Battle of Loushan Pass, Kong Xianquan, as a combat staff officer, was ordered to lead a commando team to attack the Black Temple on the south side of Loushan Pass, and when he led his troops to hundreds of meters away from the Black Temple, the enemy reinforcements came, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce battle.
When Kong Xianquan was commanding the battle, due to the enemy's outnumbered, unfortunately he was seriously injured and fell into the ditch, at this time, The commander of the second battalion, Deng Keming, came with reinforcements, and Kong Xianquan was carried down.
After Zunyi's attack, Kong Xianquan was sent to the Catholic Church, which was full of wounded at that time, and Hu Yaobang, who was the secretary of the general branch of the 13th Regiment at the time, was also here at this time, and later when he recalled Kong Xianquan, he said that that night, Kong Xianquan had been shouting to kill, kill, kill, and quarrel with the wounded at that time, and none of them slept well.
When the Red Army left Zunyi City, Kong Xianquan was carried away for more than two weeks, and when the troops came to Bijie Qianxi County, he was left behind, and because of his outstanding contribution to the revolution, the superiors decided to place him according to the regiment-level cadres, arranged him to the home of the local rich man Song Shaoqian to recuperate, and took out more than 300 silver dollars, and also equipped with a doctor and a guard.
Song Shaoqian was a relatively enlightened gentleman, and he was very fond of the Red Army, so he also took good care of Kong Xianquan, who was recuperating in his own home.
In December 1936, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and others launched a mutiny in Xi'an, and the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident also represented that the two parties were ready to cooperate again.
The chairman of the Kuomintang Guizhou Provincial Government appealed to the whole province to ask the Red Army soldiers to stand up and not to pursue them, Kong Xianquan wanted to come out, but was retained by Song Shaoqian: "You are gone now, and if the Red Army returns in a few years, how can I prove that I have protected you?" ”
Upon hearing this, Kong Xianquan had no choice but to give up the idea of going out of the mountain.
After that, he still left Song Shaoqian's home, when he could not find the party organization due to the long distance, he began to wander around, in order to live, he had worked as a mason, and also walked the streets and alleys to sell needle and thread.
Because Kong Xianquan had read books in the early years, he later wrote papers to the local people to seek redress for their grievances, and everyone was very grateful to him, and when they learned that Kong Xianquan had also served in the Red Army, they were even happier, calling him "The Bodhisattva of the Red Army"
In Guizhou, Kong Xianquan spent more than 10 years of wandering life.
In 1950, in a newspaper, Kong Xianquan saw a notice that Yang Yong and Su Zhenhua were serving as commanders and political commissars of the Guizhou Provincial Military District, respectively.
Kong Xianquan was very happy, because these two people were his old chiefs, and he immediately wrote a letter to these two people.
During the agrarian revolution, Yang Yong and Su Zhenhua were in the Red Third Army, and they were very familiar with Kong Xianquan, an old Red Army who had been seriously injured in the Battle of Loushanguan, and when Yang Yong received Kong Xianquan's letter, he was very surprised, and he immediately replied to Kong Xianquan: "I really didn't expect you to be alive." ”
This time, Kong Xianquan wrote to the two old chiefs for the purpose of actually trying to find a job, Yang Yong received the letter, and then told the old chief in Hunan Huang Kecheng about the matter.
Huang Kecheng is more familiar with Kong Xianquan, because in the early years, he still introduced Kong Xianquan to the party, and he was also very happy to learn that Kong Xianquan was not dead, and when he knew that Kong Xianquan wanted to continue to work for the revolution, Huang Kecheng immediately decided to come forward to restore Kong Xianquan's party membership and tell the local government department where Kong Xianquan was located.
The Zunyi Prefectural Committee never knew that in Guizhou, there was actually such an old qualified "Red Army", and they immediately sent people to find Kong Xianquan, and after inspection, they arranged for Kong Xianquan to be the deputy district chief of the Seventh District, responsible for the takeover and construction of the Seventh District.
Later, the local government decided to set up the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall, Kong Xianquan's extraordinary experience made him the first director of the memorial, deng Xiaoping came to visit, gave Kong Xianquan a high evaluation, saying that he was the best candidate for the director of the memorial hall.
In 1959, when Hu Yaobang, a former old comrade-in-arms, came to Guizhou to investigate, he specially invited Kong Xianquan to plant trees with him, and he laughed and quipped: "You Kong Xianquan don't want to become Kong Xianquan's second son." ”
Kong Xianquan smiled.
During the Cultural Revolution, Kong Xianquan was criticized, and after the Third Plenum of the Eleventh Central Committee, he was restored to his original treatment, and the American writer Harrison Sol Bozziri came to China to learn about the story of the Red Army's Long March.
As a special figure during the Long March, Kong Xianquan talked to Harrison Sol Ozry many times, and later, Harrison Sol Ozzili wrote a book "The Long March ——— Unprecedented Story", in which Kong Xianquan's name was mentioned many times.
In 1986, before the founding general Huang Kecheng died, he told his children that if they had the opportunity, they would go to Guizhou to visit Kong Xianquan for him.
Until later, Huang Kecheng's daughter found Kong Xianquan's descendants, talked about this matter, and gave them some assistance.
In 1988, Kong Xianquan died of illness and completed his legendary life.
At the same time, the Long March is also an immortal monument in the history of China's revolution and a heroic epic of the Chinese nation.
