The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of the expedition, and it can only wait for thousands of rivers and mountains.
The five ridges are meandering and the waves are flowing, and the clouds are majestic and the mud balls are walking.
The golden sand and water beat against the clouds and the cliffs are warm, while the iron cables crossing the Dadu Bridge are cold.
I am even happier that there is thousands of miles of snow in Minshan Mountain, and the three armies are all happy after the passing.
Translation: The Red Army was not afraid of all the hardships and hardships on the Long March, and regarded thousands of mountains and rivers as extremely ordinary. The Wuling Mountains stretch endlessly, but in the eyes of the Red Army, they are just like small rolling waves; the Wumeng Mountain is tall and majestic, but in the eyes of the Red Army, they are just like mud balls rolling under their feet.
The turbid waves of the Jinsha River are turbulent, and the rushing water slaps the towering cliffs, giving people a warm feeling. The Luding Bridge on the Dadu River spans the east and west banks, and the swaying iron cables hanging high in the air are filled with chills. What is even more gratifying is that the Qianli Min Mountain is covered with white snow. After the Red Army crossed over, everyone was in a cheerful mood and smiled.
