Regarding the Luding Iron Cable Bridge, perhaps the poem "Crossing the Dadu Bridge is cool" in the Long March of Seven Laws by President Mao Zedong is the most impressive. It was these 22 Red Army soldiers who crossed the Dadu River and broke through the natural barrier of the Dadu River. The Red Army won the victory of joining forces in northern Shaanxi, so Luding Tiesuo Bridge became a milestone in the history of the Red Army's Long March and was recorded in history. 196 1 year, the State Council approved Luding Bridge (including ancillary buildings) as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Luding Iron Cable Bridge is103.67m long and 3m wide, and consists of three parts: bridge body, abutment and bridge pavilion:
The bridge body consists of 13 iron chains with bowl mouth, including 9 bottom chains and 4 handrails. Each chain consists of 862 to 997 iron rings made of wrought iron, with a total weight of over 265,438+0 tons. The bottom chain is covered with wooden boards, and the handrail and the bottom chain are connected by small chains, so that the 13 chain is integrated; Abutment is the foundation for fixing earthworm piles and Wolong piles; The bridge pavilion belongs to the ancient architecture of Qing Dynasty. Crossing the river, there is an ancient building on the hillside, which is the Guanyin Pavilion with a long history, that is, a temple. However, when the Red Army flew over the Luding Bridge, it was the headquarters of the Red Army "flying over the Luding Bridge" and the position of the battery and machine guns. It was under its cover that 23 Red Army soldiers bravely crossed the 13 iron chain, crushing Chiang Kai-shek's dream of turning Zhu Mao into a "second Shi Dakai".
Walking on the bridge and looking down at the rough Dadu River, can you imagine how craftsmen pulled such a heavy chain across the river to lay a cable bridge? How did the Red Army climb the 103m iron chain under the bullets? We went to the underground of the bridgehead on the west side of the bridge, which is the key to the bridge. Below the fort is a well, and the pig iron cast earthworm pile and Wolong pile are anchored with chains. The iron column we see is an earthworm column with a weight of 18000 kg cast on it, which is similar to the Monkey King's golden hoop, only it can support the bridge.
This is the imperial tablet of Emperor Kangxi in those days, with the words "Luding Bridge" and the words "Unifying Rivers and Mountains" on it, which shows Kangxi's willingness to complete the territory at that time; On the other hand, The Unification of Mountains and Rivers shows his joy in the complete reunification of the territory. From this, we can think of the importance of the iron cable bridge to the reunification of the motherland, and we should also understand the meaning of the word "Luding".
Luding Bridge, located on the Dadu River in Luding County, is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The bridge was built in 44 years of Qing Emperor Kangxi and completed in 45 years of Emperor Kangxi (1706). Kangxi wrote "Luding Bridge" with imperial brush, and set up an imperial monument at the bridge head. * * * There are 12 164 iron rings interlocked, and the iron parts of the whole bridge weigh more than 40 tons.
The bridgehead on both sides of the strait is an ancient wooden structure, which is unique and unique in China. Since the Qing Dynasty, this bridge has been an important passage and military hub for Sichuan to enter Tibet. 1On May 29th, 935, the Long March of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants flew through here to capture Luding Bridge, which was famous at home and abroad.
The scenic spot of Luding Bridge consists of three parts. One is Luding Bridge. The second is the Luding Bridge Revolutionary Cultural Relics Museum, which shows the process of the Red Army crossing the Dadu River and flying the Luding Bridge with photos, materials and objects, as well as the inscriptions of the leaders of the Red Army at that time, the calligraphy and famous paintings of famous painters and painters. The third is the "Red Army flies over Luding Bridge Monument" and its park. The name of the monument is inscribed by Nie. The monument and its park are designed to celebrate the New Year, integrating commemorative significance, local customs, art exhibitions and tourism. The location is in Luding County, next to the Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
Luding Bridge, located in Luding County, western Sichuan, is often called Dadu River Tiesuo Bridge, which is the gateway of Ganzi Prefecture and the traffic throat between Kangzang. According to Wei Zang Tong Zhi, Luding Bridge was named after Emperor Kangxi.
Each chain of this bridge weighs about 2.5 tons and is made up of 890 flat rings. The bridge deck is formed by planking, and two chains are hung on both sides of the bridge as handrails. There are120m-high abutments at both ends of the bridge, and several iron piles are built in, which are riveted with 13 chains. As ballast, the abutment bears great pressure from the iron cable. Iron ox and iron centipede were cast at the east and west ends of the bridge, expressing people's good wish to subdue the "water demon" and make the iron bridge permanent. On the left, opposite to the east of the bridge, there is a monument to the Royal Luding Bridge during the Kangxi period, on which are the reasons for building the bridge, the scale of the bridge and the maintenance methods.
There is Gada Temple in the west of Huding Bridge. According to legend, when repairing the bridge, the 13 chain could not reach the other side, and many methods failed. One day, a Tibetan strongman who claimed to be Gada came, with/kloc-0 chains under his arm, and crossed the west bank by boat for installation. When he finished transporting the 13 chain, he died unfortunately because of fatigue. The local people built the temple in memory of the hero who built the bridge. Of course, legends are legends after all. In fact, when the bridge was built, skilled craftsmen from Jing Rong, Hanyuan and tianquan county gathered here. * * * Finally, the principle of crossing the river with zippers was adopted, that is, thick bamboo ropes were tied on both sides of the river, each bamboo rope had more than 10 short bamboo tubes, then the chain was tied on the bamboo tubes, and the original ones were pulled from the other side. Here, we see the light of wisdom of the working people.
1On May 29th, 935, when the Long March of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants arrived here, 22 warriors of the Red Army Corps, facing the tight fire blockade of two enemy battalions, "flew over the Luding Bridge" here, paving the way for the Red Army to go north. Three days later, Chairman Mao Zedong, Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and the Red Army's follow-up troops calmly crossed the Huding Bridge. Since then, Hu Ding Bridge is not only famous for its long history and Sichuan-Tibet thoroughfare, but also wrote a glorious chapter in the revolutionary history of China with the heroic achievements of the Red Army flying over Hu Ding Bridge.
Chairman Zhu De's couplet entitled Shanghai Ding Qiao, "The Long March remembers the danger of Shanghai, and the three armed forces are far away from imperial invasion", which has left valuable inspiration for future generations.
After the founding of New China, the people's government built the revolutionary cultural relics museum of Huding Bridge and the Red Army Monument of Huding Luding Bridge in Huding, and also built the Red Army Building, which contains a large collection of Red Army cultural relics, historical materials of the Soviet government, as well as paintings and inscriptions of party and state leaders and celebrities for tourists to visit.
1May 25, 935, on the one hand, after the army forcibly crossed the Dadu River in Anshunchang, it took tens of thousands of Red Army to cross the river with only a few boats, at least one month. The Kuomintang's pursuers are in hot pursuit, and the situation is very serious. The feeling be nasty, on the morning of May 26th, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Wang Jiaxiang, Lin Biao, Nie, Luo Ronghuan and Luo Ruiqing reported and immediately made a decision to seize the Luding Bridge. Its deployment is that the First Division of the Red Army led by Liu Bocheng and Nie and the cadre regiments led by Chen Geng and Song Renqiong are on the right, and the central column and 1, 3, 5 and 9 armies are on the left to capture Luding Bridge. On May 28th, Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu led the Fourth Regiment of the Red Second Division to attack the left army. On May 28th, the Red Fourth Regiment received an order from the Red Army Corps: "Wang Kaixiang, Yang Chengwu: The Military Commission called, limiting the left-wing army to seize the Luding Bridge tomorrow. You should complete this glorious task with the highest marching speed and resolute maneuver. In this battle, you have to break the record of Daozhou running 160 miles a day and the Yaxi Fifth Regiment. " After receiving the order, the Red Fourth Regiment made a journey of 240 Hualishan Road day and night, and unexpectedly appeared on the west bank of Luding Bridge on the morning of the 29th to exchange fire with the enemy.
At that time, the Luding Bridge, which was more than 0/00 meters long, had been demolished by the enemy for about 80 meters, and the bridge deck of Luding Bridge was tightly blocked by intensive fire composed of machine guns and artillery. At noon, the Red Fourth Regiment held a cadre meeting in Shaba Catholic Church to mobilize the fight, and organized 23 commandos to seize the bridge, led by company commander Liao Dazhu and instructor Wang Haiyun. At four o'clock in the afternoon, 23 soldiers, armed with guns, sabres on their backs and more than a dozen grenades hanging around their waists, braved the bullets, climbed up the bare chain and rushed to the East Bridge. Three soldiers led by Wang Youcai followed closely behind, carrying guns, holding boards in one hand and chains in the other, laying the bridge deck while advancing. When the soldiers climbed to the middle of the bridge, the enemy set fire to the east bridge head in an attempt to stop the Red Army from attacking the bridge with fire. Faced with this sudden flame, the soldiers shouted: "Comrades, this is the last moment of victory. Summon up your courage and rush over! Don't be afraid of fire, go! The enemy has collapsed, go! " Liao Dazhu jumped up and set foot on the bridge deck and rushed to the east bridge. The soldiers also rushed up, pulled out their sabres and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. At this time, political commissar Yang Chengwu led a team across the East Bridge, repelled the enemy's counterattack, occupied Luding City, and quickly put out the bridge fire. The whole battle took only two hours, and then the Luding Bridge was captured in an amazing way, crushing Chiang Kai-shek's dream of turning the Dadu River Natural Danger Red Army into a second Shi Dakai. Therefore, Luding Bridge became an important milestone in the long March of China's * * * production party, which laid a solid foundation for the realization of the historic Red Army, the Second Army and the Fourth Army to join forces and finally ended the Long March in northern Shaanxi. With the magnificent praise of "13 iron chains splitting the road between * * * and the country", the top ten founding marshals of new China were named, among which seven marshals passed through Luding Bridge in the Long March. At that time, on the Luding Bridge after the fierce battle, Marshal Liu Bocheng stamped his feet heavily on the bridge deck and said with emotion, "Luding Bridge, Luding Bridge, how much energy and hard work we have paid for you, and now we have won, we have won!" ! The poem written by Commander-in-Chief Zhu De with the inscription "The Yangtze River still remembers the danger of Lu Guan" in the memory of the Long March fully illustrates the dangers and heroism of the Red Army's long March to capture Luding Bridge.
On May 25th, 1935, the vanguard troops of the Central Red Army successfully crossed the Dadu River in Anshunchang, Sichuan, and went north along the left bank of the Dadu River. The main force went north from Anshunchang along the right bank of Dadu River. Twenty-two commandos, including Liao Dazhu, the company commander of Red 4 Regiment 2, seized the bridge along the chain covered with bullets and fire walls, and besieged and occupied Luding City with the left bank troops. The main force of the Central Red Army then crossed the natural barrier from Luding Bridge, crushing Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to annihilate the Red Army south of Dadu River.
