The Historical Significance of the Red Army's Long March

The Long March is a manifesto, a propaganda team and a seeder, which is the most representative exposition of Mao Zedong's significance on the Long March.

Mao Zedong said: "As soon as the Long March ended, a new situation began." Joining forces marked the end of the Red Army's strategic retreat and the completion of its strategic transfer, and began the strategic stage of the new situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Soviet Area, preparing for the strategic transfer to the national revolutionary war. This is a historic change. The victory of the main force of the Red Army in the northwest has become a turning point in strategic transformation. 1935 12 the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held the wayaobao meeting and decided to establish the anti-Japanese national United front strategy. It shows that after the Red Army joined forces in the Long March, the CPC Central Committee and Mao Zedong can plan and decide political and strategic issues in a relatively stable "base camp" (relative to the embattled operational environment during the Long March) and launch new strategies. If the victory of the Long March is the victory of the northward anti-Japanese strategy, then the Long March is only the first step to implement the northward anti-Japanese strategy. In the northwest, the Long March ended, but War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression didn't. We must continue the anti-Japanese struggle of the whole nation. All this can only be done after the Red Army joins forces. Facts show that after the Red Army joined forces, it held high the banner of resisting Japan and saving the nation, which had a great influence on Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's Northwest Army, resulting in the "Xi Incident" and the establishment of a broad national revolutionary United front.

The Red Army completed the first great Long March in human history. Faced with a powerful and ferocious enemy and a steep and arduous environment, the Red Army spent more than a year and walked 25,000 miles, mainly relying on the revolutionary spirit to complete the Long March. The spirit of the Long March contains many contents, but there are two main points: the spirit of crossing the Dadu River, storming Lazikou, fighting bravely, courageously striving for the first place, and not afraid of sacrifice; It is to climb snow-capped mountains and grass, to be hard-working, to be determined in a tough environment, and to have the spirit that revolutionary ideals are higher than the sky. The revolutionary nature of the Red Army was most obvious, concentrated and profound on the way to the Long March, and became the most valuable asset of our party and army. It was in this spirit that the Red Army completed the Long March mission, and the victory of joining forces made this spirit shine. This spirit can cultivate people's noble sentiments, enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, and complete all difficult and arduous tasks. This spirit will have a far-reaching impact on the civilization construction and work style construction of our army.

As a symbol of the times and spirit, the Red Army's Long March played an important role in the history of China's revolution, China's party history and China's war, and had a great influence on the development of modern China.

The Long March made the China Producers' Party, the most vital political party in modern China, form a strong leadership core and have a unified and excellent armed force under the leadership of the Party. The formation of these two factors has laid a strong organizational guarantee and source of strength for the China * * * production party to complete the lofty mission entrusted by history, and it is inevitable that the China * * * production party will gradually glow with strong vitality.

The Long March laid the basic pattern of the first generation of leaders in China and endowed the China Party with a strong leadership core. Since the establishment of * * * in 192 1 year, especially after the failure of the Great Revolution, the leadership core of * * * has changed frequently, which is not only the objective result of the realistic struggle, but also a sign that * * * is immature. The fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" in the Central Soviet Area and the failure lessons represented by Xiangjiang Campaign in the early stage of the Long March of the Central Red Army made the commanders and fighters question the military command ability of the leaders of the CPC Central Committee. It is under this problem that Mao Zedong, the former military commander and relatively retired Soviet leader, was brought into the leadership core of the Party, breaking the pattern that the leadership core of the Party has been occupied by people who have direct contact with the international industry for a certain period of time. Zunyi Conference established Mao Zedong's leading position in the Central Committee and the Red Army, and gradually formed the basic pattern of the first generation of party leaders represented by Mao Zedong.
