The total area of the town is 246.8 square kilometers, of which the cultivated land area is 26,240 mu and the mountainous area is about 230,000 mu. The town is the birthplace of "China's Navel Orange Town", the geographical environment, mild and moderate climate, strong technical force, so that the Anxi Navel orange ze is bright, the fruit is seedless, sweet and crisp, the juice is thick and slag, the flavor is long, and it has won the title of National Excellent and Ministry Excellent Product for many times.

Named after the station Anxiwei. On the eve of liberation, it belonged to the rest of the country, and the township was neutralized. The original name of Anxi was Anxi, which was changed to Ansi after 49 years, but the dialect is still called Anxi. Now people somehow think that "west" and "breath" are homophonous. From the analysis of the geographical environment, it is very likely that the Song Emperor died in this place when he fled south. At the beginning of liberation, it was a resting area. In 1958, Ansi Commune was established; In 1961, it was divided into four communes: Anxi, Lantang, Chongdun and Longzhou. In 1962, the two communes of Chongdun and Lantang were merged to form Anxi Commune. In 1984, it was changed to Anxi Township; In December 1988, it was changed to Anxi Town. In 1997, it covered an area of 224 square kilometers, and had jurisdiction over 24 administrative villages of Daxing, Chetou, Yueguang, Qiaoxia, Lianfeng, Lantang, Shangpi, Gangbei, Daping, Yaogang, Xiazheng, Xiangshan, Xiazhu, Changpai, Lantian, Hexing, Guihu, Tianlang, Chongdun, Hot Water, Dongkeng, Longshui, Chaqi and Tongzi, and the town government was stationed in Anxiwei.

Today the Battle of Ansi Wei. Originally, the Three Divisions had no combat tasks and were all covered by the Twenty-second Division, but the two regiments of the enemy's Thirteenth Army, which lived in the Sabbath, suddenly attacked us, and the head of the regiment had to move the seven regiments of the Three Divisions in front of them to return to the battle, which was relatively passive. It was precisely when the regiment's direct subordinate unit passed that the enemy suddenly came out, the seven regiments temporarily turned to attack the enemy, and the battle was not crushed until about 8 p.m. The enemy was defeated. Originally planned to rest in Shiziping, due to the tense change of the enemy situation, he decided to rush forward in the starry night and walked for more than 80 miles without rest.

October 25 (sunny)

After marching more than 100 miles at 24:00 yesterday, it was not until 9:00 this morning that it reached Jifuping. The whole army camped and rested in this area. All of our comrades went to the Ministry of Health to bury Chief Zheng.

Chief Zheng Lun died after being seriously wounded by two bullets in the head. Zheng Lun, a 28-year-old native of Shantou, Guangdong Province, joined the Red Army in 1928 at Hailufeng, was young, brave, and promising; he served as the commander of the Red Army's teaching regiment and the chief of staff of the division; and in various battles on the northern front, he worked intensely on the battlefield day and night. As a close assistant to Chief Luo Guo (1), he plays an exemplary role in all aspects on weekdays, giving us young people a profound education and influence.

In addition to our grief, we all buried them in coffins with our own hands. Chief Cao Daxing gave me a Parker pen in the process of handling his belongings, and the pen was engraved with the words Zheng Lun, which was really a precious souvenir, and carrying it on my body would give us a great excitement [encouragement].

This year's sugarcane harvest, sugar farmers are cutting sugar cane in the vast fields like large bamboo forest areas, dragging water cattle like water wheels to press sugar juice, most farmers here are growing sugar (sugar cane) for a living.

The masses here are very good, the underground party anyuan county party committee in this area to mobilize the masses to welcome the Red Army, help the passing Red Army to burn tea and send water and sell food, and put up many signed county party committee slogans on the wall to overthrow the local tycoons and inferior gentry! The crowd and hundreds of elementary school students watched from the side of the road.

(1) Luo Binghui and Guo Tianmin.

At 5:00 p.m., he continued to move, and was ordered by the Central Military Commission: Due to the urgency of the situation, the Guangdong enemy reinforced the strength of two divisions from Shaoguan to Nanxiong in an attempt to cooperate with the Xiong-style Hui bandit army of the Jiang clan from Ganzhou to the south, cut off the Dayu Highway, that is, the section from Nanxiong to Xinjie, and block our large army's advance to southeast hunan province. Our army was asked to quickly pass through the Wuyi Highway and cross the Zhangshui River to break through the enemy's first blockade line. Therefore, our army hastily took action again; many units gave the cooked dinner to the masses, and the cooks provoked the marching pot and turned it into an urgent march, and at 24:00 the whole army rushed to Jiudushui, a journey of 65 miles, and because of the scarcity of houses, most of them camped outside the village.

Cross the Dayu Ridge and crush the enemy's first blockade line

October 26 (light rain)

Just after dawn, the Third Division and the regiment's direct subordinate units assembled and set out, announcing the task of marching in a hurry, walking more than 12 miles per hour, and although it was rainy, the enemy planes were still very active and came to disturb them all day. Because of the urgency of the task, they could not evade along the way, and they advanced in separate ways; the Twenty-second Division was parallel to the south, and along the way, the masses were selling food on the side of the road, and they walked all day, and only then rushed to Wuping at 7 p.m. This is the middle of the first blockade line of the enemy's southern line, which belongs to The Xiong County in southeast of Gyeongdong, is densely populated and prosperous in commerce, and intersects here with the Ganshao Highway and the Wuxin Highway. Our army came here and the merchants and people also crowded in the streets to watch, and in order to enter the camp, the torches of the various units soared into the sky, and the battalion personnel came to lead their troops, and they did not calm down until 9 o'clock. The people here are very familiar with the Red Army, and in April 1932, after returning from Zhangzhou in southern Fujian, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army returned to this place and fought the famous Battle of Shuikou (only 40 miles west of Wuyi), defeating 24 regiments that Chen Jitang claimed to invade the Soviet region in southwest of Our Province. At that time, we [were] the headquarters of the Red Twelfth Army and the Thirty-sixth Division, who had lived in this town for six or seven days, and now more than two years apart, it is also very rare to come here again.

The Twenty-second Division occupies positions in the direction of the inlet and outlet to cover the passage of the main force.

The blockade battle encountered at Tongzigang was the last battle in which the Red Army broke through the first blockade line and will forever be recorded in the annals of history. General Zhang Aiping wrote in the book "Personal Experience of the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army": "The enemy who has retreated along the road retreats to Anxiwei, and we will also chase down the road to Anxiwei, and chase the defeated army general with the victorious division. Along the way, many weapons, ammunition, food, cigarettes, etc. were abandoned, and the Red Army only cared to pursue the enemy, and no one picked up a single thing, but weapons and ammunition were necessary for war, and no one was willing to let it be placed on the road. The enemy fled desperately, and we followed desperately. Even with wings on it, the enemy could not escape the heroic revolutionary fighters, and we finally caught up with him. It was along the way that guns, bullets, light machine guns, mortars, prisoners, military supplies were collected, and chased to Anxiwei in one go, although we did not eat breakfast or lunch, none of us felt hungry in the stomach, and we did not even think about eating. ”

General Yang Chengwu wrote in the book "Remembering the Long March": "In Gupi and Anxi, I fought for a day and a night, and beat the enemy to a pulp. ”

Marshal Nie Rongzhen wrote in the book "Memoirs of Nie Rongzhen" that "after this blow, the First Division of the Guangdong enemy retreated to Gupi, and the three legions had already inserted themselves from the right wing to Gupi, and then chased and annihilated the enemy to Anxi, and the enemy did not dare to come out again after retreating to Anxi, and finally we destroyed it." The first steel blockade line that the enemy boasted was crossed by a single blow from our heroic Red Army soldiers. ”

The veteran commanders' experience of the Red Army's breakthrough of the Kuomintang's defense line in Xinfeng is the wisdom of the veteran commanders in strategizing and winning a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and it is also the result of our Red Army soldiers not being afraid of difficulties and sacrifices; this is a high degree of faith in communist ideology, and it is communist ideology that inspires and inspires our Red Army contingent all the way, and courageously advances for the cause of communism, and only then has we won the great victory of the Long March.
