How did the fifth counter-campaign win?

Why does the Red Army always achieve its goal under such difficult conditions? What is the reason for our victory?

First of all, we have really brave and tenacious Red Army soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice. The Red Army can rush and fight, and at the same time it can retreat smoothly in an organized way. When we attacked two divisions in Wang Jialie in Zunyi, we found the enemy retreating along the highway. So we walked along the path and walked 50 kilometers in 8 hours without making a fire. When we arrived at Wujiang River, several regiments behind the enemy had not crossed the river. After burning the bridge, we wiped out the remaining enemy troops. Isn't this enough to prove the flexibility and offensive ability of our Red Army? The battle of Chishui lasted all day. At ten o'clock in the evening, we learned that the enemy reinforcements were coming, so we decided to retreat. We crossed the bridge. The bridge was built at night, and by dawn, the main force of the Red Army had crossed the river15km. After eight months of exercise, we can walk an average of 50 or 60 kilometers a day, all of which are mountain roads, and often March at night.

Our soldiers have a high political consciousness, so they show a high degree of heroism. When the Red Army was in Jiangxi, it knew that its mission was to defend the fruits of the agrarian revolution. Now they are still very clear about their mission, which is to fight for national liberation and complete the Soviet revolution in China.

The reason why the Red Army is so brave and tenacious is that it has an excellent and strong cadre team. These cadres all grew up in the civil war. Our cadres are not only excellent military strategists, but also excellent politicians who implement the Party's line. They are proactive and often make suggestions to the party leaders on the next plan, tasks and development prospects of the Red Army. They always proceed from the actual situation and are good at adopting flexible strategies. They can all accomplish the tasks assigned to them by the Party independently.

The second reason for our victory in the western expedition is that our party has really matured, especially its leaders. It has been tempered by the fire of the civil war and really has the ability to lead such a glorious and great cause as the Western Expedition. The party has always led the army and presided over the formulation of military plans, strategies and tactics. We have been fighting the Kuomintang for many years. Without the truly correct leadership of the party, we could not have achieved such achievements. Before each battle, the company party member has a meeting to elect a reserve commander, about four or five people. If the company commander is injured or killed in the front line, the team will not escape, because the first reserve company commander will immediately step forward; In case of misfortune, the second reserve company commander will take his place again, one by one. After party member was injured, in order not to affect the mood of his comrades-in-arms, he always said to them, "It doesn't matter, you can move on." It should be said that party member, a member of our Red Army, is an outstanding party member of our Party.

The third reason for our victory is that wherever we go, we are supported by the masses. Every time we occupy a new area, we mobilize the masses to confiscate the property and grain reserves of local warlords, landlords and gentry. We distribute property and food to the poor. Whenever possible, we will establish local revolutionary regimes-revolutionary committees in various places. We took out some weapons to organize local guerrillas. Every Red Army soldier knows three disciplines and eight points for attention. These regulations contain our fine traditions, so we ask every soldier to abide by them. Every Red Army soldier carries a piece of chalk with him and writes at least three slogans wherever he goes every day. It is precisely because of our close ties with the masses that we won the support of the masses and were able to recruit volunteers for the Red Army. Porters can be found everywhere to help us carry the trench, and Red Army soldiers can be put in the homes of ordinary people everywhere. When we need food, people will sell it to us
