In October 1934, the Red Tenth Corps of the Chinese Red Army suffered a crushing defeat at Huaiyushan, and Comrade Fang Zhimin and other top leaders were captured, and the corps only existed for two short months, but it was called the first corps of the Central Red Army of the Communist Party of China. This major defeat brought great pressure and setbacks to the CPC Central Committee, but the stubborn resistance of the Red Tenth Army won valuable time for the Red Army in the Soviet Region of the CCP, giving the Central Committee enough time to carry out strategic transfers. In 1933, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China began to study the response to the encirclement and suppression of the Nationalist army, and drafted formal instructions for the strategic confrontation and transfer of the Red Army. At this time, the Kuomintang troops began to attack the hinterland of the Central Soviet Region. Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 500,000 troops to attack the central base areas, and at the same time mobilized the same army to adopt the fortress doctrine strategy to attack the Red Army base areas on all sides. Under these circumstances, the First Front of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army began a battle against the fifth "encirclement and suppression" on September 25, 1933.
At this time, Wang Ming occupied a dominant position in the Red Army, and he refused to accept Mao Zedong's correct proposal, replacing guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with positional warfare and replacing people's warfare with corps warfare, which left the Red Army in a completely passive position. After a year of bitter fighting, the First Front of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army failed to win a victory against the "encirclement and suppression." Finally, in October 1934, the central leading organs and the main forces of the Red Army withdrew from the base areas to carry out a strategic shift --- the Long March. The mistakes of "leftist" dogmatism by Wang Ming and others caused serious harm to the Chinese revolution, and they had to withdraw from the southern base areas to carry out a strategic shift. After the main forces of the Red First Army of the Central Red Army began the Long March, Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others led part of the Red Army still persisted in the arduous guerrilla war in the south. In mid-October 1934, 86,000 people of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Red Army withdrew from the base areas and broke through to the west.
Subsequently, in March and April 1935, the Red Fourth Front set out from the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, and in November of the same year, the Red Second Red Sixth Army (later the Red Second Front) set out on the Long March from the Hunan and Hubei Sichuanqian base areas. This Long March opened the prelude to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation of the Chinese nation and was a glorious history in the history of the Chinese revolution. The Long March was a great victory won by the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army through many hardships and heavy costs. It not only demonstrated the wise decision and tenacious struggle of the Communist Party of China, but also laid a solid foundation for the victory of the Chinese revolution. We are now living in an era of peace and stability, and it is hard to imagine the hardships and hardships of that time. However, we should remember history, cherish today's happy life, and constantly strive to strive for the prosperity of our country and nation. In general, the Long March was an important event in the history of the Chinese revolution.
It laid a solid foundation for the victory of the Chinese revolution and also demonstrated the wise decision and tenacious struggle of the Communist Party of China. We should cherish today's happy life, constantly strive for the prosperity of our country and nation. After a month of bitter fighting in the Red Seventh Legion, they finally came to this area. The Red Seventh Army had already lost a large number of personnel due to the previous battle, so the commander of the legion, Xun Huaizhou, requested the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to repair and replenish here. However, soon Xunhuaizhou faced a difficult problem, that is, how to solve the problem of eating and drinking more than 4,000 people. If it is not solved, then the casualties after the battle will be very serious. Xun Huaizhou decided to ask Su Yu, the leader of the guard squad, to borrow some grain from the local people, and in order to encourage them, Xun Huaizhou also promised to return the grain after the victory of the revolution. In this way, when Su Yu went to look for grain, he returned with three wild boars.
The news quickly spread throughout the army, and the Red Army was excited to be able to eat meat vegetables, because in normal times they could only eat wild vegetables. This time the meat not only increased the morale of the Red Army, but also improved their living conditions, because the meat dish helped them to stay healthy and reduce the occurrence of diseases. This unexpected move made Xun Huaizhou notice Su Yu and quickly promoted him. After the establishment of the Republic, Su Yu was also awarded the rank of general. This story is still fresh in the memories of the old Red Army because it not only shows the unity and fighting spirit of the Red Army, but also shows how important a little food and hope are to the soldiers in the difficult war environment. However, this was only one of a series of tests facing the Red Seventh Legion. Although they had their stomachs full, the brutal battle had just begun. Cai Tingkai of the 19th Route Army of the Nationalist Army deployed heavy troops to take charge of Fujian's defense, and deployed the air force in Nanchang, Linchuan, and Nancheng in an attempt to annihilate the Red Seventh Army.
The Red Seventh Army could only continue northward and conduct guerrilla warfare on the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangsu border. This is a difficult task, as they face tight encirclement and technological superiority from the enemy. In the process, the Red Seventh Army experienced countless battles and chases, and they faced threats to their lives at all times, but they still persevered, fighting for faith and freedom. Looking back at history, we can't help but ask, what allowed the Red Seventh Army to persevere? What makes them willing to risk their lives to continue fighting? Perhaps because of their firm belief in the revolutionary cause, perhaps because of their desire for freedom and equality. Whatever the reason, the fighting spirit and indomitable will of the Seventh Red Army left a deep impression on us, and it is also something we should learn from and remember. We live in times of peace and prosperity today, and it is hard to imagine the hardships and sacrifices of that period. However, it is these historical events and the struggles of heroes that have created the happy life we have today.
We should be grateful for their sacrifice and always remember history. Finally, I would like to ask you a question: do we have the perseverance and courage to face difficulties and challenges, as the Red Seventh Legion? Please share your views and thoughts with me. The Long March, this historical event, in addition to the surface of what we know, how many unknown hardships are hidden? At that time, the Chinese Communist Party was on the verge of survival, and the left-leaning misjudgment of the central leader and military adviser to the Comintern, Li De, caused the Red Army to suffer heavy losses during the forced crossing of the Xiangjiang River, which plummeted by 30,000 people. At this time, Mao Zedong put forward a correct line, approached Guizhou, where the national army was weak, and seized the important town of Zunyi, convened the Zunyi Conference to turn the party into safety, liquidated Li Debogu's ideological mistakes, and established a new leadership position of the CPC Central Committee.
After the Zunyi Conference, Mao Zedong and his military command team struggled all the way, and the Central Red Army crossed the red water with mobility and dexterity, cleverly captured the golden sand, forcibly crossed the Dadu River, climbed the snowy mountains and crossed the meadows, but sacrificed more than 10,000 people one after another. After a long and arduous march, the Central Red Army finally arrived in Sichuan in June 1935 to join the Red Fourth Front. We have heard these historical events many times, but do we really understand the deep meaning of them? The CCP's Soviet base area has lost 600,000 square kilometers, and the land of 3 million people has gradually been lost, and the number of Chinese Communist Party has been reduced from 300,000 to 30,000. What a staggering number in those days! However, the times we live in today are different. We already have 80 million Chinese party members, the national strength is rich and strong, and the people's livelihood is safe. We should cherish this hard-won happy life with gratitude for history. Step by step, Mao Zedong led the Central Red Army through the arduous Long March and finally to victory.
So, in our lives, should we always maintain the courage and determination to overcome difficulties and obstacles? Should we also continue to work towards our goals and unswervingly move on? If we want to cherish today's happy life, we must always be vigilant to ourselves, constantly improve ourselves, and make ourselves better. We should express our respect for history with our actions and contribute our own strength to the continuous development and growth of our country and nation. Finally, I would like to ask you, do you also encounter many difficulties and challenges in your life? How did you overcome these problems?
