Because there is no water, potatoes are steamed with mud. The soldiers were all carrying a potato covered with mud, and Mao Zedong was also carrying a potato covered with mud. While eating potatoes, Mao Zedong smiled and said to the soldiers, "Comrades! It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat The general supply department has served the food in front. Today, I will have lunch at Dream Home. " Although the soldiers' mouths are full of mud and their teeth are full of sand, they feel United from top to bottom, and the officers and men share joys and sorrows. Everyone is full of enthusiasm for going north to resist Japan.
(2) Mao Zedong didn't cross the river by boat in Anshun Field. He stayed in Anshun field for a day, and then set off for Moxi. When we get to Moxi, we have to cross an iron cable bridge. This iron cable bridge is called Tiebang Bridge, which is not as long as Luding Bridge, but the water below is very urgent. The troops are crossing the bridge, and the breeder leads Mao Zedong's horse across the bridge first. As soon as the bridge swung from side to side, the horse jumped up and brayed. Mao Zedong immediately rushed to the bridge and asked the guards to help the breeder bring the horse back. He said: "Every time we think of the army and everyone, it is not good to miss so many comrades marching for a horse!"
(3) In the Long March, Zhou Enlai will March with the troops. Because of lack of sleep, I often doze off when riding a horse and fall easily, so I walk. One night, just after Zhou Enlai fell asleep, a staff officer asked him for instructions. Zhou Enlai "hmm" in his sleep, and the staff thought he agreed and went to implement it. When it was mentioned the next day, Zhou Enlai said he didn't know. Later, he made a rule for the staff officers: he must be told to sit up before he can be woken up.
(4) Attacking Songpan was the last battle plan drafted by Zhou Enlai before his illness. He has been in poor health and often coughs since he climbed the snow-capped mountains. Although he doesn't say it himself, the guards all know that he is quite weak. They tried their best to give him more rest, but Zhou Enlai always worked until 2 am as usual. He often doesn't sleep, but takes a nap on his desk and goes on working after waking up. "The vice chairman is thinner and his beard is longer," Wei Guolu wrote in his memoirs. Zhou Enlai is hands-on and affable to people. On the way to the Long March, he was afraid that other people's hands were too hard and personally helped the wounded on the stretcher.
(5)193565438+1October 29th, during the battle between the Red Army and the Sichuan Army, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held an emergency meeting in Tucheng, and decided that the troops would quickly cross Chishui to the west. The meeting decided that Zhu De and Liu Bocheng would stay ahead and command, while Zhou Enlai and Chen Yun would be responsible for crossing the river. When the Red Army retreated, it was suddenly attacked by the Sichuan Army. Zhu De, who was fighting under the command of the avant-garde 4th Division of the 3rd Legion, personally took a platoon of troops to cover, so that the troops could safely withdraw from the front positions. When Zhu De decided to go to the front to direct the operation himself, Mao Zedong didn't speak, just kept smoking. Zhu De took off his hat and said, "Good boy, don't just think about my personal safety. As long as the Red Army wins, there is no pity for Zhu De. The enemy's gun can't hit Zhu De! " Xiao Hua recalled: "Zhu De came to us with a mauser pistol and personally commanded and covered the large troops crossing the river. He stayed with us until dawn before crossing the Chishui River with us. "
(6) Zhu De, Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army, not only mowed and threshed wheat like a combatant, but also came back from a dozen or twenty miles away. He often said to soldiers and staff officers, "You young people can't cut forty or fifty pounds, alas! What youth? " In addition to those who have no time to take part in this kind of labor, Zhang Wentian, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Xu Teli and Lin, who are nearly 60 years old, also came to help with the wheat harvest. This spirit of the Red Army sharing weal and woe is really admirable.
(7) He Guanghua recalled that during the March of the Fifth Army in the Long March, Liu Bocheng said: When the Fifth Army was basically on the road, Liu Bocheng mounted his horse and marched with the guards. Comrades in our headquarters are all worried about his safety. Dong Zhentang, the head of the army, repeatedly urged him to go first, but he was very calm and said with confidence: "You all go first, and I will go later."
(8) It was recalled that Xu was the busiest person in the Red Fourth Front Army. He is also a commander-in-chief, always taking it easy and handling it with ease. Xu is thin and taciturn, but he has the courage to make the gods cry. On the eve of the Long March, I saw him tossing and turning on the horizontal bar in patched clothes, practicing hard and sweating. In order to have a strong body to adapt to the tough environment, he always takes every opportunity to exercise himself seriously, assiduously and actively.
(9) When crossing the mountains, Dong and other old comrades insisted on giving their horses to sick riders and wearing ponytails. The Central Rehabilitation Company successfully crossed the Jin Jia Mountains, and no one was left behind. Staying on the mountain at that time meant death.
(10) When crossing the grass, several guards of the 6th Division of the 2nd Red Army Corps didn't know how to keep the cowhide on the next straw sandals. They browned both sides of this cowhide, scraped it clean with a knife, and handed it to Liao Hansheng, the political commissar, and said, "Political commissar, are you hungry? Eat quickly! " Liao Hansheng was very angry: "I'm hungry, so you're not hungry? Why should I eat? It's really inexplicable! " "You are the head." The guards muttered unconvinced. Liao Hansheng severely criticized them and scared them to hang their heads without saying a word. Finally, the guard ate this small piece of burnt cowhide.
(1 1) Liao Hansheng, who served as the political commissar of the Sixth Division of the Red Army Corps during the Long March, recalled that when crossing the grassland, in order to guide the troops to eat wild vegetables, we introduced the soldiers what they could and could not eat according to the materials issued by the higher political organs. I also introduce several kinds of wild vegetables to you according to my life experience of guerrilla warfare in the mountainous area at the junction of Hunan and Hubei. Sometimes I meet wild vegetables I don't know. The political commissar of our division tried it first and proved that there was no problem, and then it was extended to the whole division.
(12) Liao Hansheng recalled that the 6th Division of the Red 2 Army Corps 18 Regiment was a team with strong fighting capacity. It took on important tasks many times during the Long March and accomplished them quite well. This is inseparable from the previous political commissar of the regiment. The first political commissar of 18 regiment was Yu, who lost his left arm while covering the head of the regiment in the battle of Zezhangba. Yang Xiushan, the second political commissar, was wounded in the battle of Liu Jia. Dong, the third political commissar, died while raising food for the troops in Xikang; Zhou, the fourth political commissar, led his troops to participate in the battle of Chengxian County and was shot and killed.
(13) Yan recalled that during the war years, division and regimental cadres had to command from the front, charge from the front and retreat from the back, otherwise how could soldiers listen to your command? During the Long March, when Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen went up the mountain, they used sabres to cut grass in front. Can our junior officers not continue?
(14) On the way to the Long March of the Red Army, Hu Bingyun was appointed as the instructor of the 6th Company of the 4th Regiment of the Red Army 1 Division. In case of tough battles, fierce battles and tough battles, Hu Bingyun will lead officers and men to be pioneers and soldiers. In the battle of Lazikou, Hu Bingyun led 10 people as the main attack of the death squads, 1 1 wielded knives left and right in the enemy group. When his leg was hurt, he felt nothing. In the battle of Zhiluo Town, Hu Bingyun led the commandos to rush to the front, killed them at the top of the mountain, and fought with the enemy for 4 hours. He was hit in the abdomen by an enemy bullet and was unconscious on the spot. In the Battle of the Mountain Fort, Hu Bingyun personally led two companies and rushed to the top of the Mountain Fort. Because it's dark, it's difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me. Hu Bingyun touched the enemy's hat badge and struggled with it until it turned pale in the East.
(15) Mao Zhenhua, the company commander of 3rd Company, 4th Regiment, 2nd Division, Red 1 Corps, was one of the warriors who forced the crossing of Wujiang River. He was tall and thin with a sharp voice and grew up on the edge of Xiangjiang River. He fought bravely like a tiger. Yang Chengwu, the political commissar of the 4th Regiment, had doubts about the water quality of a soldier who forced him to cross the Wujiang River. At that time, he took off his clothes and said, "Come on, let's stab two tough guys on the spot!" " The comrades present burst into laughter.
(16) Hu Bingyun recalled that in the battle of Lazikou, broadsword played a great role in hand-to-hand combat. Red 1 Tuan 6 Company 1 platoon leader brandished his broadsword and waved it among the enemy groups, like a martial artist practicing martial arts. Suddenly, he was hit by a stray bullet, stumbled, stood on tiptoe and shouted, "Comrades, go!" " The enemy can't hold on any longer! "The injury of platoon leader 1 greatly angered other Red Army soldiers. 10 chopped many broadswords left and right in the enemy group. Soon, the enemy was at a loss.
(17) Liao Hansheng recalled that during the Long March, party member suffered the most, party member suffered the most and party member sacrificed the most. The same is true for members of the Youth League. According to statistics, only from the departure to Zhongdian, the Red 6th Division has sacrificed 360 party member and 256 league members, not to mention those comrades who sacrificed on the more arduous snowy mountain grassland. In his memory, party member, a cadre above division 6, suffered no casualties below 10.
