When our Party was in the Jinggangshan base area, it set up the famous Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and one of the reasons why the Red Army was recognized by the masses was that it was aware of the en-gratitude map and did not take a needle and a line from the masses. In those difficult years, the Red Army fought for the people, and at the same time, countless ordinary people provided hope for the development and survival of the Red Army.
The story we want to tell today is related to an ordinary cargo man, but it is this ordinary cargo man who saved more than 3,000 Red Army soldiers and was also grateful to the commander of the team.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >, mistakenly entering the siege</h1>
In 1934, after the failure of the Fifth Anti-Encirclement and Suppression Campaign of the Central Committee of our Party, the main forces of the Central Red Army were forced to go north for a strategic shift, thus opening up the road of the vigorous Long March. More than 6,000 soldiers of the Red 25th Army, led by Cheng Zihua as the commander, went north in advance as a vanguard force to open the way and provide assistance for the central Red Army to go north.
Cheng Zihua led more than 6,000 soldiers all the way north, fighting many battles with the Kuomintang reactionary army in Hubei, Henan and other places. Although several battles have achieved great results, the team itself has suffered heavy casualties, and the original 6,000 fighters have been sharply reduced to more than 3,000. In order to find a suitable base, Cheng Zihua decided to lead the army from the Tongbai Mountain Mountains in Nanyang, Henan Province, into the Funiu Mountain area.
When the team passed through the Xunan Highway, it encountered multiple encirclements and ambushes by the Kuomintang troops, and Cheng Zihua took the lead in blocking the multiple attacks of the ambushed enemy troops and covering the smooth entry of the main force of the team into Funiu Mountain. However, the Kuomintang troops had already made arrangements, and they had already realized that the destination of the Red 25th Army was Funiu Mountain, so they planted heavy troops here in advance. When Cheng Zihua and the others arrived at Ziliu Mountain, they were once again surrounded by enemy troops, and the Red 25th Army had reached the point of life and death.

Cheng Zihua summoned the party members and cadres in the ranks to a pre-war meeting. They believed that it was obviously undesirable to confront the Kuomintang army ten times the number of them at this time, so they could only find another way and find a way to survive. So Cheng Zihua sent a number of reconnaissance teams to all directions to find out if there was a suitable retreat path.
Fortunately, one of the reconnaissance squads encountered a local cargo man on the way to reconnaissance. The freighter's name is Chen Yanxian, who has been crossing mountains and selling goods in the Funiu Mountain area, and is extremely familiar with the local terrain. When he learned that this reconnaissance detachment was the Communist Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Chen Yanxian offered to lead them to lead them out of the enemy's encirclement.
In this way, the reconnaissance team brought Chen Yanxian to the front of the military commander Cheng Zihua, who told Cheng Zihua that he knew an extremely hidden mountain path that could lead directly to the outside of Funiu Mountain and evade the kuomintang encirclement. After hearing this news, Cheng Zihua was very happy, and immediately ordered the rest team to follow Chen Yanxian to walk this mountain path.
Following Chen Yanxian's footsteps, the team marched for two days and two nights, and finally walked out of the Funiu Mountain area. Immediately before the soldiers of the Red Army was a small city. At this time, Chen Yanxian offered to use the identity of the cargo man to see the virtual reality of this small city, and Cheng Zihua also agreed.

Not long after Chen Yanxian entered the city, a large number of Kuomintang troops suddenly appeared outside. At this time, many people in the Red Army corps said that they would retreat immediately, and it must be Chen Yanxian who led the enemy over. However, Cheng Zihua ordered the team to hide on the spot and wait for Chen Yanxian, because he believed that Chen Yanxian was not undercover.
After waiting for a while, the Kuomintang troops left, and At the same time, Chen Yanxian also sneaked out of the city. It turned out that this Kuomintang army had only happened to come here to make repairs. When Chen Yanxian was preparing to leave the city after his reconnaissance, this team suddenly entered the city, and Chen Yanxian had to hide in the city until the enemy was gone.
Under the guidance of Chen Yanxian, the Red 25th Army completely broke out of the encirclement of the enemy army. Subsequently, Cheng Zihua gave Chen Yanxian two hundred yuan of ocean as a guide money, but Chen Yanxian resolutely refused. He said: "The Red Army contingent is a good contingent for the country and the people, and although I am a cargo man, I am also well aware of the great national righteousness, and I am resolute not to ask for your money." ”
Cheng Zihua was touched when he heard this, and he no longer insisted on giving Chen Yanxian money, but he gave Chen Yanxian a note that read: You are a chivalrous and righteous person, and you will be a member of our Communist Party from now on. The note was also stamped with Cheng Zihua's private seal, indicating that Chen Yanxian could come to him at any time if he had difficulties in the future.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > Conclusion:</h1>
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cheng Zihua has also been grateful for the kindness of chen Yanxian, the cargo man of that year, so he asked many people to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen Yanxian, but he did not get a reply. It was not until 1950, when Chen Yanxian applied to join the party in a food factory, that this note was taken out by Chen Yanxian, and everyone knew that he was the unsung hero who saved more than 3,000 Red Army soldiers.
