On May 25th, 1935, after the Red Army 1 division 1 regiment, the vanguard of the Long March of the Central Red Army, successfully crossed the Dadu River in Anshunchang, Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched two brigades of the Sichuan Army to reinforce Luding Bridge. In order to cross the Dadu River quickly and thwart the Kuomintang troops' attempt to attack the Red Army from front to back, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided that the 1 division and the Red Army 1 Corps cadres would continue to cross the river from Anshun Field and go north along the left bank of the Dadu River. The main force from Anshun field went north along the right bank of Dadu River, and two roads entered with the river, quickly seizing Luding Bridge. On the morning of 27th, the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of Red 1 Legion, led by its head Huang Kaixiang (also known as Wang Kaixiang) and its political commissar Yang Chengwu, set out from Anshun field, broke through the blockade of Sichuan Army along the way, and forcibly occupied the west bridge head of Luding Bridge after two days and nights. Luding Bridge is 100 meter long and 2.8 meters wide, spanning the surging Dadu River, with cliffs on both sides, and the east bridge head is connected with Luding City. Before the arrival of the Red Army, the 38th Regiment (1 Battalion) of Sichuan Army, which was guarding the city, had removed the boards on the bridge, leaving only the suspended iron cables. At 16, 22 commandos, including Liao Dazhu, the 2nd company commander of the Red Fourth Regiment, braved the intensive artillery fire of the Sichuan Army, climbed the iron chain and launched an attack on the other side. When approaching the bridge, the Sichuan army suddenly cast a fire barrier, and the commandos bravely crossed the fire wall and rushed into Luding City to fight with the Sichuan army in the street. The follow-up troops went into battle in time. After fierce fighting, the Red Army occupied Luding City, one part of the Sichuan Army was wiped out, and the rest fled to Tianquan. At the same time, the Red 1 Division and the Cadre Regiment defeated the Sichuan Army and successfully arrived in Luding City to cooperate with the Red 4 Regiment in the battle to seize the bridge. Then, the main force of the Central Red Army crossed the natural barrier Dadu River from Luding Bridge, crushing Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to annihilate the Red Army south of the Dadu River.
