The Qilu Long March included the battle of skillfully crossing the Jinsha River and flying to capture the Luding Bridge.
1. Crossing the Jinsha River skillfully
The enemy estimated that our army would forcefully cross the Jinsha River, so he deployed heavy troops along the several hundred miles long Jinsha River and controlled all the large and small ferries. . Our army sent a division to build a bridge at Long Street to feign an attack, luring all "pursuing and suppressing" troops to move closer here. Our main force annihilated the defenders at Winch Crossing and successfully completed the task of crossing the river with six wooden boats. This is the result of the flexible strategies and tactics used by the Red Army soldiers.
2. Flying to seize the Luding Bridge
On the Luding Bridge on the Dadu River, only the iron ropes are left. There are several regiments of enemies in Luding City to the east of the bridge, and tight defenses are built on the hillside. The fortifications used machine guns and mortars to block the bridgehead. The Red Army selected twenty-two heroes to form a commando team. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the charge horn sounded. Amidst the earth-shattering sound of gunfire, the commando team braved the rain of bullets, climbed on the iron rope, and rushed over.
The enemy set off a huge fire and sealed the city gate at the bridge. The warriors rushed into the city from the sea of ??fire regardless of their own safety. The large group of troops then drove across the Luding Bridge and fought fiercely for two hours, wiping out two enemy regiments.
