"The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulty of expeditions, and thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for idleness", the historical jun tells you how difficult the Long March is through data.
The Long March crossed 15 provinces and regions in China, crossed 20 lofty mountains, crossed 30 rapids and shoals, and encountered more than 400 battles in less than two years, with an average of one encounter in less than three days. But even so, the Red Army maintained an average marching speed of 25 kilometers per day.
Therefore, the Long March is a rare expedition in human history that is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and it has become the first of the three major expeditions in the world's military history. Also, the Long March was bought through great sacrifices.
Before the Long March, the Red Army reached northern Shaanxi with 300,000 troops, leaving 25,000 people. There is also a set of data, the average age of the Red Army regimental commander level is 25 years old, the average age of the division and regimental cadres in front-line combat is 20 years old, and the red army small soldiers aged 14 to 18 years old. 60%.
General Wang Ping once told such a story, when the large army had already crossed the meadow, and suddenly Peng Dehuai came to him, saying that there was another battalion of troops who had not arrived, and asked her to go back to find it. When Wang Ping led the guards to the banyou river, it was dusk, and the rose-colored sunset was hanging in the sky. In the distance he saw hundreds of small Red Army soldiers sleeping on their backs. He was furious at the time, and when he walked over, he pushed the little soldiers, who knew that pushing one by one, more than 700 small soldiers of the Red Army could no longer withstand physical exhaustion, hunger and cold, and all died in their sleep. General Wang Ping said that when he talked about this, he was in tears, he said, you know how quiet it was that day, the birds did not fly or call, I put them flat one by one, they are still a group of children. This is the hardships experienced by the Red Army, and it is also the miracle they have created on earth.
