How did they sacrifice them when they were carried over by the snowy mountains and meadows? What the hell happened that night? Why did it take more than half a century to discover the truth? Interested friends don't forget to like and follow.
Red Army soldiers
300 warriors died bizarrely
In 1935, the Long March of the Chinese Red Army entered its second year. At this time, the soldiers of the Red Army had just crossed the Liupan Mountain in Gansu, and in order to ensure that the soldiers had enough physical strength to continue the road. Some of the soldiers in the army decided to rest at the bottom of the mountain for one night and wait for the next day to join the large troops.
After a night of climbing over the mountains, the soldiers were thirsty and tired, and the first thing to do after resting was to go to the vicinity of the mountain to find out if there was a water source and replenish some water.
Because the troops had a rule that after arriving in the village, they could not disturb the villagers, so the troops could only be stationed outside the village. At that time, many remote places in Gansu did not have China's revolutionary armed base areas, and the villagers had been harassed by bandit warlords for many years, so when they saw the troops, no matter who the other side was, their first reaction was to close the doors of the rooms and avoid targeting the bandits.
The closed doors of the village
The warriors who had wanted to go to the village to beg for a drink did not dare to disturb them when they saw the doors of every house closed. So I decided to look for it in the mountains nearby.
Soon, a warrior who had gone to look for water spotted a spring on the mountain. He ran back excitedly and beckoned everyone to hurry up, and when the warriors heard about it, they rushed to go and took a big sip of wine.
In the early morning of the next day, the troops began to assemble and prepare for the road, but when counting the number of people, they found that the 300 soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain were not there. So the chief ordered the messengers to go and call them over.
Springs in the mountains
After receiving the order, the correspondent hurried over, and when he arrived at the place where he was stationed, he found that the soldiers were all sleeping on the ground, with a peaceful expression, still holding guns in their arms, and sleeping so "sweetly", what was it like.
The disciplined army has never happened to this kind of thing, and it is not yet hurrying to the time of assembly, and it is still sleeping here? The correspondent thought to himself and decided to wake them up quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up! How still sleeping! Everybody's gathered! The correspondent shouted at the soldiers on the ground, but none of the warriors responded.
The correspondent realized that something was not quite right, he quickly ran to the nearest soldier, shook him vigorously, the gun in the soldier's arms was shaken to the ground, the correspondent thought "bad", reached out and tried the sniffles of the soldier, this test, let the correspondent directly frightened and collapsed on the ground. The Red Army soldier was no longer breathing.
Correspondent
Looking at the 300 soldiers lying quietly in front of him, the correspondent's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he hurried up to see the other soldiers, and like the soldier, everyone was out of breath.
As a soldier's agility, the correspondent quickly realized that he had encountered a sneak attack from the enemy. He shouted "Something's wrong!" Something went wrong", while running to the place where the large troops were located, breathlessly reported the situation to the chief.
When the chief heard this news, he was shocked that such a great thing had happened. While ordering people to protect the scene, he wrote a letter and reported this important event to the great man.
300 Red Army soldiers
The great man was very angry when he learned of this, and the good warriors were so sacrificed! In order to investigate the matter thoroughly, the great man summoned the officers of the security department and solemnly told them: "We must investigate thoroughly, and we must catch the murderer!" ”
300 precious soldiers, these are all the seeds of the revolution, so bizarrely lost their lives, you know along the way, at this time the Red Army troops have less than 8,000 people, so the great man's inner sadness can be imagined.
300 Red Army soldiers, resting at the foot of Liupan Mountain for one night, but all died strangely, and the great man was furious and ordered that the officers of the security department must be thoroughly investigated.
300 warriors died bizarrely
The great man was furious and ordered a thorough investigation
The officers of the Ministry of Security were also shocked when they heard the news of the death of 300 soldiers, because they had been guarding their posts the night before, and they had not heard any gunshots, and they had not found any trace of the enemy.
What's going on here? The officers decided to go to the scene to have a look. At that time, everyone speculated that the sacrifice of the fighters was not assassinated by the Kuomintang army?
But on the remains of the warriors, no wounds were found, the clothes worn by the warriors were not even a little damaged, and all the warriors, like "asleep", obviously they did not have any physical conflict with others at all.
It was like falling asleep
Therefore, the Ministry of Defense felt that the sacrifice of the soldiers was probably poisoned. First of all, it is impossible for an undercover agent within the Red Army, because all the soldiers, along the way, have become comrades in arms in life and death, friends and brothers, and will not do such a thing. The most crucial thing is that there is no sign of poisoning in the throat area of the warriors.
The truth of the soldiers' sacrifice has not yet been revealed, but the investigation can only be forced to be interrupted, because the Kuomintang army behind them is about to catch up, and in order to ensure the safety of the large troops, the great man can only bear the pain and order that 300 soldiers be buried in a hasty manner. At present, the most important thing for the troops is to quickly withdraw from Liupan Mountain and continue to rush forward.
The Long March of the Red Army
However, the bizarre sacrifice of the warriors has become a sore spot in the hearts of the great people, and there is no time to investigate now, and in the future, we must find out the truth of the sacrifice of the warriors.
In this way, the great men and the troops bowed deeply in the direction of the buried soldiers before leaving, and as the group prepared to retreat, the enemy cavalry caught up.
The great man immediately ordered an ambush on the spot, completely destroyed them, and avenged the sacrifice of his comrades- At this time, the soldiers were still immersed in grief, and when they saw the Kuomintang army, they were even more indignant, and if it were not for them, our Red Army soldiers, they would not have sacrificed in vain.
All the fighters, with resentment towards the Kuomintang troops, rushed to the enemy's troops and engaged them in a fight. After a night, the enemy army was completely destroyed, and the Red Army continued to rush forward.
In October 1936, the Red Second and Red Fourth Fronts also successfully reached Huining in Gansu Province, and joined the Red Army led by the great man, and at this point, the Long March of the Central Red Army of 25,000 miles ended in victory.
Since then, the revolutionary contingent under the leadership of the Communist Party of China has gradually matured, and the great man has also been formally established as a leader. Under the leadership of the great men, the Chinese was completed, and victories in one battle after another, whether from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, or even in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, although our army also suffered a large number of casualties, there was a clear cause of death.
However, the 300 soldiers who died inexplicably during the Long March have not yet found out the truth, but the great man has never forgotten and has always remembered this matter.
The Red Army won the Long March
The 300 soldiers who died bizarrely at LiupanShan did not have time to order people to investigate at this time until after the founding of the Country, but at that time, due to the limited technical level, the investigation did not make substantial progress. It wasn't until 1989 that the inadvertent discovery of two geological and hydrological engineers broke through the fog and uncovered the truth about the bizarre sacrifices of 300 soldiers.
300 warriors sacrificed the truth
In 1989, in order to improve the water quality of people in poor areas, two geological and hydrological engineers were sent to Gengwan Town under Liupan Mountain to carry out water purification related work.
In the visit and investigation of the masses, the villagers said that the drinking water here was difficult, the water was not very clean, and there were 300 Red Army soldiers who died here, and when they heard someone mention this matter, the villagers discussed it more intensely, saying that the Red Army must have been poisoned by someone, maybe it was the spring water on the mountain that harmed it.
The villagers were buzzing
Hearing this, with the sensitivity to the profession, the two geologists suspected that there was a safety problem in the local water quality. Therefore, they collected spring water samples from the place where the Red Army had rested and prepared to bring them back to the laboratory for study.
But after the experimental results came out, there was no abnormality, the spring water is rich in potassium ions, such as edible salt, kelp, there are potassium ions, even if the excessive intake of potassium ions, it will only affect the health of the body, and will not threaten life.
When the two people were puzzled, one of the geologists suddenly thought that there is actually a poison related to "potassium", called potassium cyanide, and as soon as this idea was proposed, the two invariably thought of the same thing: hydrogen and potassium ions, it is easy to have chemical reactions, producing potassium cyanide!
spring
This speculation is possible, hydrogen does contain high toxicity, but generally does not exist in the atmosphere, usually in the oil layer below the oil field, such gases will appear, with the continuous change of geology, hydrogen will be released from the oil field.
Therefore, the two immediately investigated the local geological features and found that the geology near Gengwan Town was indeed very consistent with their inference. The hydrogen in the underground oil field is very likely to penetrate the surface and merge with the mountain spring, which produces potassium cyanide.
At this moment, the truth of the bizarre sacrifices of 300 Red Army soldiers was finally revealed! It was because the warriors drank the local spring water that they died. Although the Red Army at that time did not show any signs of poisoning, they did die of poisoning. Because of potassium cyanide poisoning, there is no direct manifestation.
The truth about the death of the Red Army soldiers is declassified
Once the human body has ingested potassium cyanide, this substance will only destroy your nerves, causing nerve blockade and death, and the death is very calm, just like "falling asleep", in addition to this poison, there will be some bitter almond taste, and will not cause the body to have any abnormality.
So whether they died in the enemy's aircraft cannons or died in an accident like this, they are all soldiers who have fought hard for the new China, and they all deserve our respect and remembrance.
