1. Writing background
This word was written by Comrade Mao Zedong to praise the victory in the battle to defend Huangyangjie. The time was around September 5 in Dafen, Suichuan. After Zhu Yunqing reported the situation of the battle to defend Huangyangjie to Mao, Mao Zedong felt deeply and could happily write "Moon over Xijiang·Jinggangshan".
2. Original text
The flags at the foot of the mountain are in sight, and the drums and horns on the top of the mountain are heard.
I am surrounded by thousands of enemy troops, but I remain unmoved.
The barriers were already fortified and became even more united.
The sound of artillery fire was heard in Huang Yangjie, reporting that the enemy troops were escaping at night.
3. Notes
The battle flags waved at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of war drums and bugles resounded through the mountains. No matter how many enemy troops surrounded me, I remained proud and unshakable. The well-organized fortifications are ready, so they are even more united like a fortress. The Red Army's artillery fire roared on Huangyangjie, and the enemy troops fled in the darkening darkness. Extended information
