Today I have a long tassel in my hand, when will I bind the blue dragon? Creative background
In August 1935, Chairman Mao Zedong smashed Zhang Guotao's plan to split the party and split the Red Army, and then led the Red Army to continue to advance towards the northern Shaanxi base area. In mid-September 1935, the Red Army conquered the naturally dangerous Lazikou, miraculously crossed the Minshan grassland and entered southern Gansu. In early October 1935, the Kuomintang mobilized heavy troops to "encircle and suppress" the revolutionary base area in northern Shaanxi. On the other hand, it established a defense line in the Liupan Mountain area in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Long March Red Army. The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, under the command of Mao Zedong, feigned an attack on Tianshui and marched to the east. Then they surprised the enemy and turned north from Hadapu, conquering Tongwei City and entering Pingliang and Guyuan Avenues.
On October 7, 1935, at Qingshizui in Liupan Mountain, Ningxia, the Red Army defeated the enemy cavalry regiment that came to intercept it, cleared away the obstacles, and got rid of the chasing enemy. Liupan Mountain. After that, they drove straight in and arrived at Wuqi Town, Baoan County, northern Shaanxi (now Wuqi County) on October 19, 1935.

"The characteristics of the current situation are the arrival of a new national revolutionary climax, and China is on the eve of a new national revolution." Under such a good situation, although the Red Army had been reduced from 300,000 to less than 30,000 at this time, due to the correct route, the number was temporarily reduced, but the quality was stronger than before.
With the tempered Communist Party of China and the tempered Red Army, what kind of enemy cannot be annihilated!
