The party's footprints in Wuhan series of live broadcast activities, taking everyone to the place is Mulan Mountain in Huangpi District, Wuhan City. The story of Mulan is well known to everyone, and Mulan Mountain in Hubei is thus well known to everyone. But Mulan Mountain has another identity, called "Jinggang Mountain" in Hubei. Why? After the failure of the "Jute Uprising", seventy-two soldiers of the Edong Army turned to Mulan Mountain, igniting the seeds of revolution in the Dabie Mountains, and it is said that "the autumn harvest uprising team went up Jinggang Mountain, and the jute uprising team went up Mulan Mountain". Let's take a look at the red story on Magnolia Mountain.
On Mulan Mountain, there is a cave formed by the collapse of the rock, the cave has many winding paths, the depth is not bottomless, it is rumored that it can lead directly to the eye of the sea, called the wind tunnel in ancient times, then the wind tunnel has another name called the Red Army Cave.
After the 1987 Conference, armed uprisings held by peasants in Huang'an and Macheng counties in Hubei Province led by the Communist Party of China --- jute uprisings broke out.
In December 1927, under the encirclement and suppression of the superior forces of the reactionary forces, Huang'an County, which is now Hong'an, was lost. At this time, Wu Guanghao, deputy commander-in-chief of the workers' and peasants' revolutionary Edong Army of the rebel forces, proposed to turn to Mulan Mountain.
And this wind tunnel was where the Red Army soldiers moved to live thereafter.
Cao Xiaohui of the Party School of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China: "The current steps and roads were built later, the Red Army soldiers of that year had to climb up with their bare hands, the passage in the cave was very narrow, the bats were overgrown, and the statue here reproduced the scene of the soldiers of the Seventh Army in the wind tunnel at that time, you can see that the conditions are very simple, sometimes you can only fill the hunger with wild vegetables and pumpkins, covered with straw to spend the snowy night in the cave." ”
Although the conditions are harsh, the Mulan Mountain is densely forested and the terrain is complex, which is very convenient for concealment, and the local mass revolutionary foundation in Huangpi is good. Therefore, in the situation of struggle in which the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different, Wu Guanghao, commander of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, also explored some guerrilla experience.
It was on the basis of these experiences that the soldiers of the Red Army went out day and night, flexibly and maneuvered, and were haunted by the cover of the masses.
Under such difficult conditions, the Seventh Army, with Mulan Mountain as the center and its revolutionary footprints covering the six counties of Huangpi, Xiaogan, Huanggang, Luotian, Huang'an, and Macheng, created the first red base area in the Dabie Mountains: the Eyubian Revolutionary Base Area.
Later, the Seventh Army was merged with other units to form the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which became the predecessor of the later Red Fourth Front.
Mulan Mountain Revolutionary Relics Exhibition Hall Xiong Wensheng: "After the Seventh Red Army arrived at Mulan Mountain, it extensively attacked local tycoons and divided up the fields, and then expanded the ranks and expanded its influence, which was very popular near Mulan Mountain in just half a year, and also laid a mass foundation for the party and the Red Army. They developed from seventy-two fires and 72 fighters to the later Eyu-Anhui Revolutionary Base Area, and the revolutionary flame of Mulan Mountain burned all over Dabie Mountain. ”
From the revolutionary spark of Mulan Mountain to the beacon of Dabie Mountain. It is inseparable from the firm revolutionary conviction of the Chinese Communists. They adhered to the party's leadership, maintained close ties with and relied on the masses, and persistently embarked on the correct revolutionary road of armed division of workers and peasants.
Chen Jianping, Party School of the Huangpi District Party Committee: "The history of that period of the Gathering of Storms and Clouds is still of great guiding significance today. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, looking back at the past, commemorating is to set out better, we must not forget how the Red regime came about, how New China came about, how our happy life today came about, let us hold high the red banner, unswervingly take the road of Chinese characteristics, and keep moving forward. ”
