On May 11, 1935, Jiang Jun, who had been in hot pursuit, finally arrived at Kyaukpyeongdu.
But where is the shadow of the Red Army at the port? Only the fast-flowing Jinsha River is in front of you. They learned from the people in the vicinity that nearly 30,000 Red Army troops used 6 small boats to cross the Jinsha River for 7 days and 7 nights in a row, and had all crossed the Jinsha River as early as 2 days ago and left calmly.
Jiang Shi, who was sitting in Guiyang, was extremely angry and scolded his men for being incompetent. However, on second thought, although the Red Army temporarily jumped out of the encirclement circle of heavy troops, there was the Dadu River in front and the Jinsha River in the back, and the Yalong River formed a huge triangle. This was the place where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom general Shi Dakai's entire army was destroyed 72 years ago, and Jiang Shi suddenly turned from anger to joy and ordered all-out encirclement and suppression.
At this time, the dangerous situation faced by nearly 30,000 Red Army soldiers did have a lot in common with Shi Dakai in those years.
Anshun field
One, different times, the same circumstances
72 years ago, 1863 was the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the seventh year of Shi Dakai's exodus.
In 1856 (the sixth year of Xianfeng), when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in civil strife in Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan first instructed the Northern King Wei Changhui to kill Yang Xiuqing, the eastern king who was in power, and then used Shi Da to expel Wei Changhui, and finally because of unwarranted suspicion, Shi Da drove away.
Shi Dakai led an army of 100,000 to more than a dozen provinces in 6 years, but never found a place to stay.
In March 1863, Shi Dakai fought fiercely in the Guizhou area, and he sent his generals Lai Yuxin, Tang Rirong, and Zheng Yonghe into Sichuan first, and then arrived in Xikang in May, where they were attacked by Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, and Wang Yingyuan, the tusi qianhu, and Cen Cheng'en, a Tibetan tusi. Wang Yingyuan, who was bribed by Shi Dakai, temporarily changed his mind, while Cen Cheng'en blocked the retreat, and Shi Dakai, who was cornered, was completely annihilated.
In the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek and his senior aides, the Red Army was similar to Shi Dakai at that time:
First, Shi Dakai left the Tianjing base area, and the Red Army also left the Soviet zone; second, the environment in which Shi Dakai and the Red Army lived was no different; third, they were both faced with the attack of the regular army and the Tusi army; fourth, the relations between the local ethnic minorities and the Han Chinese were very tense; fifth, the logistics supply was extremely tight and there was no money and food; and Both Shi Dakai and the Red Army fought alone and had no foreign aid.

Second, the Red Army is not the Taiping Army: this time, another time
Based on the above analysis, Chiang and his staff were full of confidence in the total annihilation of the Red Army at the Dadu River.
However, The situation of The Red Army, which Chiang Kai-shek, the Warlords of Sichuan, and the local toastmasters they had pinned high hopes on, would never have thought of fighting for the poor people of the world, although it was very similar to the situation of the Taiping Army in Shi Dakai at that time, but in essence there were many differences:
First of all, after the Zunyi Conference, the chairman restored the command of the Red Army, reorganized the "three-man regiment" with Zhou Gong and Wang Jiaxiang, and without the dogmatists such as Bogu and Li De, the chairman vigorously defied the public opinion and reactivated Liu Bocheng, who had been demoted to chief of staff of the Fifth Red Army.
Secondly, in the same move to the three provinces of Yunnan-Guichuan, Shi Dakai almost fought bloody battles in Zunyi and Jinshajiang, resulting in great losses to the troops; the Red Army was different, Liu Bochengzhi took Zunyi, sidu Chishui, and Qiaodu Jinsha, and nearly 30,000 troops along the way had almost no losses.
Third, Shi Dakai's vanguard officers Lai Yuxin, Tang Rirong, and Zheng Yonghe had limited ability, and they were eliminated by the Qing army as soon as they entered Sichuan, resulting in Shi Dakai's loss of foreign aid; while liu Bocheng, the advance commander appointed by the chairman, and Nie Rongzhen, the political commissar, were all the way to the mountain and open the road and build a bridge in the water.
In the end, Shi Dakai's Taiping Army, which had no faith, left Tianjing and fled for "unjustified names," and the troops fought less and less, and the road became narrower and narrower; while the Red Army, which started by "fighting the local tycoons and dividing up the fields," carried out the ethnic policy along the way, and although it was chased and blocked, it received more help.
Third, as long as you find the right way, you are not afraid of the road
The reason why the Red Army did not become the Taiping Army in May 1935 was the chairman.
Shi Dakai was one of the few generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who understood and was also a cadre of both culture and martial arts. He followed Hong Xiuquan from the age of 16 to oppose the Qing, at the age of 20 yong'an became the "wing king five thousand years old", and at the age of 26 presided over the military aircraft major events after the "Tianjing Incident", which is a rare talent.
However, Shi Dakai lacked strategic vision, nor did he have the heart and wrist to unite people's hearts, and he never found a foothold. On the contrary, the chairman can always find the weakness of the enemy in the siege, and always play the enemy between the hands. In terms of strategic choices, we always take the lead.
Shi Dakai made strategic mistakes, the first was that he did not take the initiative to change in more than ten provinces, the second was that the forwards were not good and did not open the channel, the third was that there were no enemy troops on the other side of the Dadu River, and the concubines and children were stranded for 3 days, resulting in a flood, and the fourth was hanging himself on a tree holding Zi Dadi (An Shuncheng).
The perceptive chairman was just the opposite: First, the Red Army was constantly looking for fighters and breakthroughs; second, after the Zunyi Conference, Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen of "Old Sichuan" were appointed as forwards; third, they vigorously advocated the national policy and became the key winners and losers; fourth, Liu Bocheng won the Anshun field, still based on the soldiers and nobles who quickly sent Lin Biao and Chen Guang to seize the Luding Bridge.
Therefore, from a strategic point of view, the chairman is not a star and a half stronger than Shi Dakai at that time, it is simply crushed.

Fourth, Shi Da opened a box of jewelry, not as good as Liu Bocheng a bowl of clear water
The Chairman's strategy made the Red Army invincible, and the Red Army's tactical execution was even better.
In the Long March of the Red Army, the four crossings of Chishui were only the starting point, the crossing of the Jinsha River was temporarily freed from the encirclement, pursuit, and interception, and the forced crossing of the Dadu River and the capture of the Luding Bridge were the key battles of life and death. In terms of specific tactical implementation, the Red Army was much stronger than Shi Dakai and the Taiping Army.
Shi Dakai also sent forwards that year, but Lai Yuxin, Tang Rirong, Zheng Yonghe were defeated by the Qing army and Tusi. As a result, Shi Dakai fell into the back and forth attack of Tang Yougeng, the general of Chongqing, and Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan. In this situation, Shi Dakai firmly believed that "having money can make ghosts push and grind" tried to buy Wang Yingyuan with heavy money, but Wang Yingyuan refused to borrow the road.
At this time, Shi Dakai was blocked by the Dadu River, and the only way to retreat was the Songlin River guarded by the Tibetan Tusiling Cheng'en (Tibetan name Bibi). However, due to the hatred of the Han people, Ling Cheng'en not only refused to give Shi Dakai a passage, but also took the opportunity to seize the grain and grass of the Taiping Army, cutting off their grain routes and retreats.
No one expected that a small Tibetan Toastling Cheng'en would become the last straw that crushed Shi Dakai.
72 years later, the enemy army deployed heavy troops on the avenue, and on the small road were Yi tribes, and the enemy army hoped to "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight".
However, to their great disappointment, Liu Bocheng, the advance commander of the Red Army sent by the chairman, used only a bowl of clear water from the sea to form a brother with xiao Yedan, the leader of the Yi nationality, who "made an alliance with blood", saving at least a week for the Red Army and arriving at the Dadu River ahead of schedule.

Fifth, the three armies used their lives, Shi Dakai was defeated, and the Red Army flew to capture Luding
On May 24, 1935, Liu Bocheng led the Red 1st Regiment of the Red 1st Division of the Red 1st Army to arrive in Anshuncheng.
This time it was the Red Army and the enemy army facing each other, and Liu Bocheng could no longer use "wisdom" anymore. The so-called "narrow road meets the brave to win", it is necessary to face the hard bar, fortunately on the opposite side is the Sichuan Army miscellaneous troops. But in the face of the high mountains and rapids of the Dadu River, how easy is it to grab the ferry?
At that time, more than 30,000 people in Shi Dakai fought to more than 6,000 people, and they were still trapped in the "dead land" of the Dadu River.
Now that the time had come to test the Red Army, Liu Bocheng and Yang Dezhi gave the task to 18 warriors with only one boat: Xiong Shanglin, the commander of the 9-man company in the first boat, and Sun Jixian, the 9-man battalion commander of the second ship, led by Sun Jixian. Liu Bo undertook the order of the "gun god" Zhao Zhangcheng to assist in the battle, and 3 shells were fixed.
The Anshunchang ferry port was taken, but it took at least a month for a boat to ferry nearly 30,000 people. On May 29, the chairman and General Manager Zhu, who had hurriedly arrived, immediately discussed urgently, and the chairman immediately made a decision and ordered Yang Chengwu of Chen Guanghong's 2nd Division to lead the Red 4th Regiment to fly to seize the Luding Bridge overnight.
The chairman even ordered: If the capture of the bridge is not successful, Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen will go to northern Sichuan to create a situation alone. Fortunately, Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu's Red 4 Regiment did not make the chairman's worries come true, and the poor weapons and equipment of the local Sichuan army inadvertently helped the Red Army.
When the smoke cleared and the night was quiet, Liu Bocheng, a battle-hardened "famous general in Sichuan", stepped onto the Luding Bridge and stomped three feet on the wooden board above the iron cable: "Luding Bridge, Luding Bridge, how much energy and effort we have spent for you!" Now we're victorious!"
Compared with the unfortunate Shi Dakai 72 years ago, God seems to be taking care of this heroic Red Army.
When the Red Army arrived, the Songlin River, which had made Shi Dakai insurmountable, had actually become a shallow stream due to the changes in the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry fields, and the water flow was only below the knees, which was not worth mentioning in front of the warriors who flew to seize the Luding Bridge.
Could it be providence?
