During the Long March, one touching story happened after another. A story I know better is called A Bag of Dry Food. It tells the story that Xiaolan, a boy of the Red Army aged 13, managed to get a bag of dry food when marching with the army, but when crossing a bridge, he accidentally dropped his bag of dry food into the river and was washed away to take care of a wounded person. She insisted on not telling them because everyone had enough dry food to eat. In order to pretend as if nothing had happened, she took out a lot of wild vegetables and stuffed them into her bulging bag. Soon, her health deteriorated. After the head nurse found out that she was eating wild vegetables and "dry food" in her bag, everyone knew the truth, so everyone gave her some dry food, which made her feel the warmth of home ... Although the story is small, the connotation is not small. These little details and stories can reflect the excellent qualities of the Red Army soldiers-not afraid of hardship, strong, selfless and enthusiastic ... just Xiaolan, a girl of 13 years old, but with the same strong will as a boy; But you know how to be considerate. When she has no food, she can reach out and ask her comrades for some. She didn't do it. She chose silence and didn't tell anyone. At this moment, she only thought about the interests of her comrades-in-arms and ignored her own difficulties. For the seriously injured, she could have let them die, but she didn't. She took care of a wounded man without complaint. A Xiaolan is still like this. It is conceivable that the quality of my great Red Army team has changed.
The first one:
1In the autumn of 945, the Red Army entered the grassland. Because three small comrades have gastrointestinal problems, the instructor asked the cooking squad leader to take care of them.
Three patients only walked twenty miles a day. At the campsite, the squad leader dug up grass roots everywhere and cooked for them with highland barley noodles. In less than half a month, all the highland barley noodles were eaten. Hunger threatens them. Although the squad leader looks for weeds and digs roots everywhere, how can he eat enough just by eating these? The monitor watched them slim down and stayed up all night.
One day, the monitor was washing clothes by the river when he suddenly saw a fish jump out of the water. He quickly found a sewing needle and bent it into a hook shape, so that three comrades could eat fresh fish and drink fish soup. But a little comrade noticed that when they were eating fish, the monitor never ate it. Later, the little comrade found that the monitor was eating leftovers and couldn't help crying.
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the grass, the monitor fainted from hunger. Three little comrades hurried to fish and make soup, but the monitor died for them.
The second one:
It was a late autumn day and the sun was setting in the west. Comrade Chen Geng often went hungry and felt very tired because he marched on the deserted grassland for a long time. This time he fell behind, leading the same tired thin horse and moving forward step by step. Suddenly, I saw a little red army ahead, and like him, it also fell behind.
That little guy is only eleven or twelve years old. Yellow face, a pair of big eyes, two thin lips, a little upturned nose, two feet wearing sandals, blue and red with cold. Comrade Chen Geng came up to him and said, "Son, get on the horse and ride for a while."
Pretend to be a pair of indifference, the little guy stared at Comrade Chen Geng's thin face with a beard and smiled and used a Sichuan saying:
"Old comrades, my physical strength is much better than you. Get in the car and go. "
Comrade Chen Geng said in a commanding tone: "Let's ride for a while!"
The little devil stubbornly said, "If you want me to race your horse, let's have a race." With that, he straightened up and made a gesture to run.
"Well, let's go together."
"No, you go first, I want to wait for my companion."
Comrade Chen Geng is very helpless. He took out a small bag of highland barley noodles from his body and handed it to the kid, saying, "You ate it."
The boy pulled the dry food bag on his body, patted it gently and said, "Look, it's bulging. I have more than you. "
Comrade Chen Geng was finally persuaded by this boy, so he had to climb on his horse and walk forward. He rode on a horse and felt restless. Starting with the child he just met, he remembered a series of children. From Shanghai and Guangzhou to the docks in Hong Kong, the poor children he had dealt with appeared in front of him one by one.
"No, I was cheated!" Comrade Chen Geng suddenly gave a cry, immediately turned his horse's head and kicked off his horse several times, running all the way. When he found the child, the child had fallen on the grass.
Comrade Chen Geng struggled to hold the child on horseback, touching the child's dry food bag, stiff. What is that? He took it out and saw that it was a black Achyranthes bidentata bone with several tooth marks on it.
Comrade Chen Geng knows everything. At this time, the little guy stopped breathing.
Comrade Chen Geng put his arms around this boy and slapped him in the mouth: "Chen Geng, how can you be worthy of this little brother!"
The third one:
On the way of the Red Army's Long March, there were interceptions before and pursuers after, and they often had to fight with enemy planes for aerial reconnaissance and bombing. Although the Red Army's air defense weapons were extremely crude at that time, they still carried forward the spirit of defeating the superior with the inferior and daring to fight and fight, actively carried out air defense operations, and shot down six enemy planes on the way to the Long March.
Long March story
1. On the way to the Long March, there was a female soldier named Xiao Dong who was only 13 years old. Climbing the snow mountain is to give everyone a pepper, and those who are afraid of the cold will chew it. Xiaodong was afraid of spicy food and didn't bring Chili. Xiao Dong just climbed halfway up the mountain, shivering with cold. The players kept shouting: "Comrades, don't sit down, you can't get up if you sit down. Halfway up the mountain, Xiaodong was really cold and tired, but she persisted. Finally, when he reached the top of the mountain, Xiao Dong saw all the players rolling down, which was dozens of feet. She also sat down, and one roll was 100 feet. Finally, I successfully climbed over one snow mountain after another.
2. The heroine in the battlefield: He Zizhen has 17 shrapnel embedded in her body.
In the tragic 25,000-mile Long March, a group of special figures were active, including the wives of central leading comrades, female cadres and ordinary female soldiers. Hunger, disease, bloody battle and death, nothing can stop their progress. This group of amiable and respectable heroines walked all the way through the diffuse smoke.
The author often says that in the winter of 1995, he and the writer Dong Cun traveled all over the streets of Beijing, struggling to find the female Red Army who participated in the Long March that year. This is a very hard job, which consumes a lot of their time and energy, but they still enjoy it, because every interviewee has brought them great surprises, and a long-lost spirit is calling them, inspiring them and moving them.
Although most of the young and all-powerful female Red Army soldiers have passed away, the beautiful story left by the female Red Army on its long journey is still so tragic and touching.
1935 One night in early April, the female Red Army just dragged her tired body to Wulipai near Panxian County, Guizhou Province. An unexpected situation appeared: a group of enemy planes buzzed and suddenly flew from behind the mountain. One of them swooped down quickly, a fierce machine gun bullet strafed head-on, and three bombs landed on the rest camp. The soldiers quickly squatted under the road, in the ditch and on the slope. The high and low terrain covered some people, but the terrible thing was that some Red Army wounded people were lying on stretchers, unable to move at all.
He Zizhen was hiding under a ridge on the side of the road, but she climbed out of the stretcher regardless of her personal safety. At this moment, a bomb was dropped, and a cloud of smoke suddenly rose beside her. ...
The enemy plane flew away, the gunfire and explosion stopped, and the smoke gradually dispersed. He Zizhen's body was covered with shrapnel, and his military uniform was dyed red with blood.
The intense rescue began. The guards rode to the Ministry of Health and asked Dr. Li Zhi to treat He Zizhen. Li Zhixian gave He Zizhen a hemostatic injection, and then made a general examination. It was found that there were 17 shrapnel of different sizes and shades on her head, upper body and limbs. Without any anesthesia, the operation began. He Zizhen was sweating with pain, and his eyes were full of tears, but he insisted. The shrapnel in the shallow body was finally taken out one by one, but the shrapnel in the deep body was difficult to take out, which became a permanent memorial left by the war.
Listen to the Long March story told by the old Red Army.
"Young man, you can't understand how we old people feel in the face of our bloody peace and prosperity. We have never wavered in the danger of narrow escape, because we firmly believe that our efforts can bring today's stability and prosperity! "
At 20 o'clock on July 23rd, the reporter met Ren Sizhong, a veteran of the Red Army aged 14 and former deputy political commissar of jinan military area command who had worked and served in the grassland for half a century. The 83-year-old man's chatterbox opened, and he talked about the eventful years in the past. His expression became excited and his lips trembled. ...
15 youth rate 17 1 people join the red army.
1932 65438+In February, the main force of the Red Fourth Front Army arrived in northern Sichuan, and the guerrillas led by the underground party in eastern Sichuan began to operate in Daxian. At that time, Ren Lao, who dropped out of school because of poverty, was helping his father farm at home.
"The party team has given me the ability to think, and I understand why the poor will continue to be poor after working hard all their lives." The red regime's fight against local tyrants and land distribution has pointed out a way out for the poor and set off a huge wave in the hearts of any old man. The Red Army team is the master of the poor peasants, and Ren Lao understands that this is a poor peasant team.
The influence of the red family is very important to him. Eldest brother joined the guerrillas very early, but soon he died heroically in a battle. My father actively responded to the call of the revolutionary team and served as the chairman of the village Soviet. In those years when the Red Army left the base area, the old man was imprisoned and tortured to death by the reactionary army. Shortly after his father died, his mother left with a grudge. All these strengthened his determination to take part in the revolution.
1933 is a crucial year for Ren Lao to embark on the revolutionary road. In June, Ren Lao joined the guerrillas and soon joined the China Youth League. Ren Lao was active in thinking and actively explored the truth of the revolution, and soon became the backbone of the guerrillas. After the main force of the Red Army occupied Daxian County, he was elected as the captain of the young pioneers in the district, and the boy aged 15 became the "leader" of 17 1 Red Kids. Under his leadership, the whole team 172 people joined the Red Army collectively.
Young soldiers who play "fans" have gained great fame.
He changed from a guerrilla to a real revolutionary fighter, but the reactionary warlords in Sichuan forced troops to move around to carry out revolutionary work.
1July, 934, Ren Lao was then the director of the Political Education Department of Sichuan Shaoshao Command and the instructor of the cadre company. Working in Danba area of western Sichuan. One day, Ren Lao and others were having a meeting in a three-story building, when the reactionary warlords suddenly rushed into the building and had a fierce gun battle with the comrades in charge of sentry duty on the stairs. The footsteps are dense and rapid, and they are getting closer. It must be dead to stay. Ren Lao and other three people jumped out of the window to escape. One of their companions fell dead on the spot, leaving the old man's right arm to support the ground. After the upper arm is broken, poke his ribs and insert them into his chest. Reluctantly, he walked into the night with his companions and acted quickly.
But not long after, Ren Lao, whose arm was injured by a bandage, was active in the mountain village again.
The revolutionary's work aroused the crazy counterattack of the evil forces. In Xintangba area, there is a landlord armed force of about 500 people. They madly attacked the revolutionary task force and slaughtered the revolutionary masses. During the war, everyone held fans and arrogantly called them invulnerable magic soldiers. Locals call it the "fan team". One night, Ren Lao led the cadre company to attack the "Fan Team" at night with the cooperation of the local Red Guards. In the battle, he was stabbed by the enemy bayonet and still insisted on taking part in the battle. In the battle, the Fan team was completely annihilated, and the Youth Army became famous for the people in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area.
As soon as he crossed the grass, the bamboo stick plunged into his sole.
Young man, you can't express the real scene of the Long March in words. You can't imagine how hard it was then. Ren Lao told reporters. Ren Lao insisted on watching the TV series "Long March" every day some time ago. He takes it more seriously than everyone in his family. He was moved by the TV series, but he still said to his family, "They can't shoot it, it's a bit bitter."
Three scars on Ren's head and a penetrating wound on his arch were all left by the Long March. Speaking of the first injury after the start of the Long March, Ren Lao took off his shoes and a depression about three centimeters square appeared in the center of the back of his right foot.
"The Red Fourth Army has the longest long March and crossed the grass three times. When I crossed the grass for the first time, my right foot was pierced by the bamboo stick array laid by the reactionary army. "
This is an urgent March at night, with interception before and pursuers after. Ren Lao quickly advanced to Aba with a team of more than a dozen people. Ren Lao goes ahead. He carefully crossed the barbed wire laid by the reactionary army. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the soles of his feet, and he fell to the ground and couldn't walk any further. Holding a lantern, a comrade-in-arms saw a bamboo stick nearly 0. 1 meter long passing through the sole of his right foot, with a long strip exposed on the instep.
The injury was only a moment, and the injured foot of Ren Lao in the following months made him suffer a lot. The procession went on without stopping to recuperate. When the wound suppurates, the comrades cut the gauze into narrow strips, dipped it in water and pulled it back and forth to take out the pus and polyps inside. Every pull is accompanied by a terrible pain, but what can I do? This is the only way to curb further infection in an environment lacking medical care and drugs.
"Who can endure such pain in peacetime?" At this point, the old murmured.
Second, cross the grassland and find your own life.
It is more dangerous to cross the grass for the second time, and let the old man step into the gate of hell.
1935 in the second half of the year, he served as the instructor of the teaching group of the headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army. The army marched from Aba to appeasement. When we arrived at Heishui River, the temporary bridge had been destroyed and the south bank was occupied by bandits. In order to ensure the main force to cross the river, Ren Lao and 30 other cadres and soldiers swam across the river in the dark. It was the middle of winter, the water was fast and freezing, and only eight people swam to the other side. Then a sudden attack took the lives of the enemy troops on the south bank. Most of the enemy troops were killed in their sleep, eight people quickly occupied the bridgehead, and most troops successfully set up temporary bridges.
Ren Lao suffered from a bad cold. The Red Army was short of doctors and medicines, and its food supply was cut off. His condition is getting worse step by step and he is often in a coma. His comrades marched on his back. Twenty days later, the troops came out of the grass and appeased. At this time, Ren Lao had been in shock for a long time, and his comrades mistakenly thought that he was dead, so they put him in the cave under the cliff of appeasement beach. I don't know how long it took, but he woke up and struggled to climb to the river to drink. At a distance of more than ten meters, Ren Lao climbed for two or three hours. Local resident Hao Laohan found it and rescued it home.
Hao Laohan treats him like his own son and cooks millet porridge to feed him every day. The old man has only one daughter under his knee and wants to treat him as his son. But Ren Lao is bent on returning to the team. He moves a small bench to sit at the gate every day, hoping to see his comrades in the team. Two months later, Ren Lao's illness basically recovered. He tearfully bid farewell to the old couple Hao Laohan, found the Jinchuan Provincial Committee active in this area, and returned to the revolutionary ranks.
When he came back to life this time, Ren Lao was less than 18 years old.
1July, 936, Ren Lao's illness was completely cured. At this time, the team began to go north from appeasement. Ren Lao marched on the grassland with seven or eight soldiers younger than him. One night, a little soldier asked Ren Lao, "Chief, what will happen in the future?" "Everyone lives happily and has no worries about food and clothing." "Can this be achieved?" I believe I can.
Speaking of honorary old people, there are not many words.
Ren Lao usually practices calligraphy. Whenever a friend asks a question, he never forgets to put a stamp on it, either as a "Long March Warrior" or as a "survivor". This is the position that the old man gave himself in his later years.
Ren Lao was a brave soldier during the war. He attaches importance to ideological work, makes good use of offensive tactics, and often defeats the enemy without fighting. At the beginning of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Ren Lao led a team to counter-insurgency in Harqin Banner, correctly applied the policy of peaceful counter-insurgency, and opened 300 kilometers of Chengchi Highway. Since then, Ren Lao has made outstanding achievements in many battles, such as attacking Tianjin, suppressing bandits in Guangxi, resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and Jincheng. 1955, the old man was awarded the second-class August 1st Medal, the second-class Independence and Freedom Medal, and the second-class Liberation Medal. 1988 was awarded the first-class Red Star Medal of Honor. But when it comes to honor, the old man doesn't talk much.
"During the war years, too many good comrades fell beside us. Compared with them, I am a survivor and lucky. " "I can see with my own eyes that the realization of the goal I fought for is the greatest luck, and the real honor belongs to those martyrs who died gloriously."
Ren Lao's family said that every time he thought of his fallen comrades around him, Ren Lao was very sad. At that time, Ren Lao joined the Red Army with 17 1, but after everything, Ren Lao never saw them again after liberation. He can't forget the experience of 1953 returning to his hometown. At that time, relatives of comrades-in-arms heard that he was coming back, and stood on both sides of the road waiting to inquire about the whereabouts of their loved ones. Ren Lao rode more than 30 kilometers on the mountain road. When the villagers came forward to ask for a long time, the old man burst into tears.
On another occasion, Ren Lao found the names of his comrades-in-arms on the revolutionary martyrs monument.

1937 One day in late September. Mao Zedong saw such a battle report in a cave in Yan 'an Zaoyuan. In the Battle of Pingxingguan, mortars of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division played an important role. He quickly got up from his chair, waving the battle report. He excitedly said that he would especially praise the mortar company, and then lamented: "There is no victory without artillery!" A few days later, the Central Military Commission issued an order to form the artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. 1938 65438+1On October 28th, the artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was established in Linfen, Shanxi.
After the Japanese army invaded Taiyuan, it rushed to Jinnan, where the artillery regiment was located, in an attempt to strangle the artillery regiment in the cradle to avoid future troubles. After receiving the news that the artillery regiment was in a very dangerous situation, in order to make the newly established artillery regiment have a relatively stable training environment, Chairman Mao immediately decided to cross the river to the rear for training and consolidation. When the artillery regiment received the telegram from Chairman Mao to evacuate Linfen and left the station, the guns of the Japanese army were clearly audible.
The artillery regiment is still on its way to the west. In order to ensure the safety of the artillery regiment's flank, Chairman Mao ordered the Wu Gaizhi Department of the Eighth Route Army Left-behind Corps to muzzle the enemy from Jixian to the north of Daning. At the same time, we called Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and Peng, deputy commander-in-chief, and suggested that the artillery regiment be sent to Luochuan for training.
When the artillery regiment passed through Yan 'an on Luochuan Road, Chairman Mao specially met with Mu Jong, head of the artillery regiment, Qiu Chuangcheng, political commissar, and Yuan Bangguang, director of the political department. At the meeting, Chairman Mao said to them: "The artillery regiment should be like a hen laying eggs, cultivate the backbone for the future construction of the artillery corps and build more artillery regiments to meet the needs of the revolution."
1939 65438+1October 28th was the first anniversary of the founding of the artillery corps, and a grand celebration was held. Chairman Mao was unable to go because of his busy work, so he entrusted Teng to attend. On behalf of Chairman Mao, the Central Military Commission and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government, Teng presented a banner to the antiaircraft artillery regiment, and showed a personal letter from Chairman Mao to all officers and men of the antiaircraft artillery regiment, expressing his special concern for the antiaircraft artillery regiment.
All officers and men comrades of the artillery regiment:
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Corps, I hope you will study hard in political and military discipline, so as to create a powerful corps in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, achieve invincible and invincible goals, win glory for the nation and the Eighth Route Army!
Mao Zedong
On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the artillery, at the proposal of Chairman Mao, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Ren, Peng, Deng Fa, Zhang Wentian, Peng Zhen and other central leading comrades made a special trip to Nanniwan to inspect the artillery.
On that day, Chairman Mao wore a gray cotton military cap, a rough old gray cotton-padded jacket and black cotton shoes. After hearing the work reports of Mu Jong, head of the artillery regiment, and Qiu Chuangcheng, political commissar, it was already noon. After a simple meal of millet and sorghum, I watched the gun exhibition with other central leading comrades. While watching, Chairman Mao said to the leader of the artillery regiment who accompanied him: "To study military technology hard and improve combat skills as soon as possible, we must build the artillery regiment well." When he left, Chairman Mao wrote an inscription for the artillery regiment at the request of the leaders: "Without artillery, there would be no victory".
