Important deeds of Longjie ferry

1935, under the correct leadership of Mao Zedong and the Central Military Commission, the First Corps of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army lured the enemy to pretend to cross the Jinsha River at Longjie Ferry to cover the main force of the Central Red Army, leaving a permanent farewell.

1934 10, the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants made a strategic shift, left the Jiangxi Central Revolutionary Base and started the world-famous 25,000-mile Long March. 1935 1 month, after the Zunyi meeting, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other comrades, the Central Red Army crossed Chishui in the fourth place and Wujiang in the south. On April 23 of the same year, the Central Red Army entered Yunnan in two ways. Among them, on April 30, the Central Military Commission made specific arrangements for crossing the Jinsha River in Kedu Town, Xundian County, and decided that the Red Army would seize the Jinsha River ferry in three ways. The first legion captured the Longjie crossing, the third legion captured the Hong Men crossing, the cadre regiment went straight into the Jiaoping crossing from the middle, and the fifth legion covered the back of the house. On May 2, after the Red Army captured Luquan and Wuding counties in a row with lightning speed, the military department stationed in Jiaopingdu, Luquan, and the first and second divisions advanced to Yuanmou along Sichuan-Yunnan Avenue. On May 3rd, the first and second divisions of the Red Army Corps entered Yuanmou from Shila Amzah, Wuding County. The first division entered the country from Taiyangpo and Living Buddhist Temple, passing through more than 20 villages such as Wutou River, Lefu, Laoyue Village, Honggang, Muduo, Zhuang Ling, Zhongshan, Liu Qi, Anding, Cucumber Garden, Zhubu, Luohai, Da Nabie, Xiao Nabie, Fish Wash, Dashu Village, Najiu and Bainiwan, and made more than 70 non-stop trips. The Second Division traveled more than 60 kilometers along Yunnan-Sichuan Avenue, entered the county from the tomb of Bailu and Monk, and passed through more than a dozen villages such as Matoushan, Banfa, Ainawang, Zhongtun, Dashuijing Ancient Buildings ancient buildings, Yuelong, Sandland, etc. That afternoon, it occupied Ma Street in Yuanmou County.

Longjie Ferry was the main passage between Sichuan and Yunnan at that time. Every day, hundreds of mules and horses and hordes of vendors cross the Jinsha River from here and travel between Kunming and Huili. At this time, there was no one except the enemy plane that came to spy. It turned out that after the Red Army entered Yunnan, it attacked the city with great fanfare, giving Chiang Kai-shek and Long Yun the illusion that the Red Army might cross the river from Yuanmou, so they had to order the river to be closed, burn most of the ships, and a few ships sank into the river, and mobilized a regiment of the Sichuan Army to station on the north bank to stop the Red Army from crossing the river.

When the Red Army arrived at Longjiedu, it couldn't find a boat and was blocked by the artillery fire of the Sichuan Army, so it immediately went into battle. On the one hand, it fired back at the enemy across the river with heavy machine guns, and on the other hand, it tied the raft with bamboo boards around the clock. At the same time, in the upper reaches of Longjiedu Ferry, a pontoon bridge was set up at Shihuatan, where the river was narrow and the water flow was slow, which attracted the attention of Kuomintang troops to Longjiedu. After two days and nights of fighting, more than half of the pontoon bridge was laid. However, the situation of the Red Army pontoon bridge was immediately discovered by enemy planes. At noon on May 6, enemy planes flew from the upper reaches of Jinsha River to bomb the pontoon bridge. However, due to the narrow river and strong wind, the bombs dropped by enemy planes deviated from the pontoon bridge and fell to the other side of the mountain to explode. That night, the Central Military Commission ordered the Red Army: "Be sure to arrive at Jiaopingdu on the 7th, regardless of fatigue, and finish crossing the river before dusk on the 8th, otherwise it is in danger of being cut off". On a starry night, leave Longjie Street, follow the rugged path of Jinsha River, climb rocks, go through dense forests, cross Dongshan from Shuigangpo and Majingzi Slope by the river, and head for Jiaoping in Luquan County. The first division of the Red Army led the enemy in Dragon Street to buy time for the main force of the Red Army. The cadre regiment seized Luquan Jiaopingdu, and the Red Army calmly crossed the Jinsha River.

After Yuanmou, the Red Army's Long March sowed the revolutionary fire, leaving precious spiritual wealth for generations of oppressed and exploited Yuanmou people. 14 Red Army soldiers were killed and stayed in the county seat. 10 Many people were injured. After the Red Army entered the city, it opened the prison, rescued more than 100 innocent imprisoned poor people, confiscated the property of more than 10 local tyrants and evil gentry, and distributed it to poor farmers. The Red Army also left slogans such as "People Brothers, we are all from China, we should join hands to resist Japan", "Oppose clearing Zhang, collect eight yuan from farmers", "Down with corrupt officials, root out local tyrants and evil gentry", "Down with the government that oppresses the people" and "People Post, People's Integrated Protection" on the wall of the county, which are still preserved at Longjie Ferry by the river. Don't pay a sum of money to donate to district or township offices; "If the White Army is not properly starved and beaten, everyone should go to the Red Army"; Officers and men are equal and oppose beating and scolding white army soldiers "; Organize anti-donation and oppose exorbitant taxes and levies. "When armed riots occur, the White Army brothers and the Red Army brothers will unite to overthrow the warlords Long Yun and Liu Xiang"; And "Don't help traitors. The Red Army withdrew from the county seat and headed for Luquan Jiaopingdu. Wang, Tan, etc. 14 people signed up for the Red Army voluntarily, and 100 people led the way and delivered materials for the Red Army at night. With the Red Army gone, the revolutionary kindling sown by the Red Army on Yuanmou Hot Dam has finally become a prairie fire. Under the leadership of China * * * Production Party and Mao Zedong, the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang was overthrown, and the awakened Yuanmou people became masters of their own affairs, creating one glory after another on the hot dam in Li Qian. Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the place where the Red Army's Long March passed.

70 years have passed. At that time, the Red Army pursued the truth of saving the country and the people. Now Yuanmou is exploring and practicing the road to a well-off life. We are proud that the Red Army's spirit of hard struggle, pragmatic style and persistent exploration of truth have been inherited and carried forward by today's Yuanmou people, and the old look of Li Qian Hot Dam has taken on a new look. In particular, the revolutionary relics and revolutionary stories of the Red Army's skillful crossing of Jinsha River have made generations of China people see that it has become a great patriotic education position and a sacred place for red tourism development.
