One May in the '30s, an extremely important military decision unfolded in a magnificent history. In the era of war, Liu Wenhui, a military general in a position of power, suddenly received a phone call from Chiang Kai-shek, which seemed to cause a storm that set off waves.
At that time, the situation was extremely serious, and the Red Army had already pressed near the Luding Bridge, seeing that the line of fire was about to start. And on this phone call, Chiang Kai-shek issued a strict order to Liu Wenhui: "Send someone to blow up the Luding Bridge immediately!" After blowing up, it will be possible to draw salaries from the bottom, and then the Red Army will be unable to escape. This was a direct communication of Chiang Kai-shek's intention, and he hoped that by blowing up the Luding Bridge, the Red Army would not be able to cross the Dadu River, and then capture the Red Army on the bank of the Luding Bridge.
However, Liu Wenhui's expression was a little hesitant after hanging up the phone, and the subordinates around him anxiously urged him to make a decision. The pace of the Red Army was in full swing, and Liu Wenhui fell into deep thought. He understood that blowing up the Luding Bridge was an obvious obstacle to the Red Army, but such a decision also meant creating an inaccessible gap in his own territory. And his thinking is not limited to the present, but also involves attitudes towards Chiang Kai-shek and possible future disputes. This scene, like a thick ink in a historical picture, delicately outlines the contradictions in Liu Wenhui's heart.
Further zooming in on the timeline, it dates back to May 1935, when the Red Army was forced to move and the Dadu River became their block. Previously, the Red Army had crossed the Jinsha River and captured Anshun, and morale was high. However, at this moment, the Dadu River is an insurmountable difficulty. The Dadu River was surging, and the Luding Bridge on the opposite bank was like a fortress guarding the heavenly graben, and at the same time, the enemy army had to make difficult choices. In order to break through this difficulty, the Red Army made a decision and marched in two ways, the troops were divided into two routes, one part first crossed the river north, the other part detoured from the right bank.
Along the rugged mountain road, the soldiers of the Red Army marched day and night, their tired bodies pushing the limits of their advance. In the icy rain, the soldiers' torches were extinguished, but they did not give up and rekindled the torches, lighting a glimmer of hope for the advance. This journey was not just a long journey, but a challenge to the limits of perseverance and perseverance, and with extraordinary resilience, they marched 240 miles overnight, creating a miracle that shines in the history of marching.
However, the path ahead of the Red Army was not smooth. The Luding Bridge became a stumbling block to their progress, an unavoidable problem. Liu Wenhui had a premeditated plan to remove all the planks on the bridge, leaving only the cold iron chains, smearing the bridge deck with oil and quietly lighting the fire. The flames and hot smoke piled up at the head of the bridge became a barrier to advance, and the pungent fire reflected in the determined eyes of Liu Wenhui's soldiers. This decisive battle, the pedals on the chains, the march in the rain of bullets, wrote the courage and faith of the warriors into the time of history.
The high-precision sniping of the Red Army gunner Zhao Zhangcheng destroyed the fire points on the opposite shore, opening up a glimmer of life for the Red Army. The warriors of the death squad, shouldering the mission, went forward again and again, and they used their lives to create opportunities for the Red Army to cross the Luding Bridge. In the end, the Red Army successfully overcame this difficulty by seizing bridges and building simple means of crossing the river.
However, behind the Luding Bridge, the attitudes of different generals are reflected. Liu Wenhui's refusal to blow up the bridge shows his deep-seated adherence to the interests of his troops and the region. Although his decision was controversial at the time, it also preserved Luding Bridge as an important transportation hub. This
The determination not only shows Liu Wenhui's responsibility to his territory, but also reflects his deep consideration of the war situation and the future. Liu Wenhui is not narrow-minded about his own interests, he has a vision beyond his own and profound strategic insight when facing the overall situation and long-term development of the country.
However, the tide of history does not stop there. Over time, Liu Wenhui eventually moved into the people's camp, reflecting his political consciousness as a man of insight. Under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, Liu Wenhui gradually realized that he was closely related to the fate of the people, and his actions also embodied the value of the people first. He actively cooperated with the liberation work, contributed his own strength to the unity and development of the country, and embodied the transformation and evolution of a military general into a politician.
Looking back at the history of Luding Bridge, this bridge not only witnessed the arduous breakthrough of the Red Army, but also condensed countless heroic feats. With their lives and blood, 22 warriors wrote an eternal heroic legend on the Luding Bridge. They took risks, charged ahead, and sacrificed themselves for not only a bridge, but also loyalty to faith and country. This spirit, like a torch, inspires future generations to never say die and continue to move forward.
Chewing through this history, it is not difficult to see the complexity and deep meaning. Each character's decisions and actions are constrained by the situation and personal values, and each step of the decision is balanced between how to weigh the pros and cons. History is not a single path, but a multitude of possibilities and choices. And it is these choices that shape our past today and shape tomorrow's future.
In this magnificent historical picture, each character is a representative of his or her unique era
