Liu Bocheng skillfully commanded the process of crossing the Jinsha River.

The Red Army skillfully crossed the Jinsha River.

On April 28th, 1935, the column of the Military Commission set out from Xitun and Miandian in Qujing and passed through Toutou Village and Wangjiazhuang in Malong. The Red Army Corps and the Third Army Corps were stationed in Xundian. Because the Red Army troops marched into central Yunnan for several days, the main force of the Yunnan army dared not leave Kunming, and the pursuers behind could not arrive in time. This situation shows that the enemy has been unable to stop the navy from crossing the Jinsha River northward, and there is no one on both sides of the Jinsha River. The CMC seized this opportunity and decisively decided that the Red Army from all walks of life would immediately advance to the Jinsha River and prepare to cross it.

On April 29th, the Central Military Commission blew its whistle to various ministries in Xundian, and issued an urgent instruction: "Instructions for our army to quickly cross the Jinsha River to establish a Soviet area in western Sichuan." It is pointed out: "Due to the maneuver in the past two months, our field army has gained favorable conditions for advancing westward. Generally, chasing the enemy has always been behind our side, but the enemy has concentrated more than 70 regiments chasing me, which makes it inconvenient for me to carry out large-scale combat maneuvers in the current area; On the other hand, there is no one on both sides of the Jinsha River, and it is now possible for the central government to decide to transfer field troops to western Sichuan to establish Soviet base areas. Therefore, the Politburo decided that our field army should take advantage of the current favorable opportunity to quickly cross the Jinsha River, turn to western Sichuan, destroy the enemy, and establish a Soviet base area. "

Liu Bocheng, chief of staff, is the commander of the advance team of crossing the river, and is responsible for setting up the crossing headquarters to command the whole army to cross the river in a unified way. The Red Army soldiers were divided into four roads: the First Army Corps of the Red Army captured Yuanmou Longjiedu; SanJunTuan capture LuQuan Hong Men crossing; The cadre regiment captured Jiaopingdu, the column of the Central Military Commission followed the cadre regiment, and the Fifth Corps followed. The ninth army crossed the river between Qiaojia and Dongchuan. The first regiment bypassed Kunming from the east and northeast, and assumed the task of pretending to attack Kunming and covering other columns.

On the same day, the Red Army approached the Jinsha River at the speed of rapid March. A group set out from Malong Hongqiao and Xundian Tangzi, entered Songming County, and conquered the county. The Red Army contacted Kunming on the defensive by wired telephone and threatened to attack Kunming. The vanguard troops also arrived at Dabanqiao, which is 0/5km away from Kunming/KLOC-,and posted slogans attacking Kunming along the way, thus threatening Kunming. The enemy troops on the defensive in Kunming were shocked by the red army's feint and dared not go out to fight.

On the same day, the Third Army Corps set out from Gaotian area and conquered Xundian County via Qixing Bridge. The column of the Military Commission entered Yaojia Village from the junction of Songming and Xundian, and its marching speed exceeded that of the First and Third Army Corps.

On April 30, the column of the Military Commission, the Fifth Army Corps and the Third Army Corps entered the Kedu area and prepared to cross the Jinsha River. The first regiment moved to Xianglong Street, passing through Luquan, Wuding and Yuanmou counties along the way, attracting all the chasing enemies and making it possible for the column of the Military Commission and the Third Corps to cross the river in secret.

On May 1 day, the column of the Military Commission entered Luquan County through Chicken Street, successfully passed Pudu and Tiesuo Bridge, and arrived at Xiaocang Street that night.

On the same day, inspired by the slogan of "crossing the Jinsha River for May Day", the avantgarde 5th Company of the cadre regiment and the avantgarde reconnaissance team of the Central Committee arrived at Jiaoping Ferry in the evening, found two old ships, and crossed the Jinsha River that night, eliminating the defensive forces and controlling the ferry.

On May 3rd, under the command of Liu Bocheng, the Red Army troops crossing the river began to cross the river on six wooden boats found by cadres. The Fifth Corps built field fortifications in Shibanhe area, more than 40 kilometers away from the river, to stop the enemy.

On the afternoon of May 5, the column of the Central Military Commission completed crossing the river. At this time, the first regiment was at Longjie Ferry. Because the river was wide and the water was fast, it was impossible to set up a pontoon bridge. The enemy was approaching and it was difficult to cross the river. Due to the urgency of crossing the river at Hongmen, the Third Army Corps could not cross the river by bridge. The speed of crossing the river alone is too slow, only passing the 13 regiment. In this case, the CMC urgently ordered the 1st 1 and 3rd Army Corps to cross the river on June 6th and 7th. The two legions arrived at the ferry on time and crossed the river one after another.

The fifth legion, which was responsible for the cover task, fought fiercely with the enemy 13 division that arrived first for several days, forcing the enemy to retreat to unity. After completing the task, he evacuated the blocking position on the evening of May 9 and crossed the Jinsha River that night.

At the end of March, he left the Lord on the north bank of Wujiang River? Hey? Hey? Cattle? ⒈ ⒈ ⒈ ⒈ ⒈?????????????????????? ⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛⒛. On the 4th, the avant-garde group occupied Shu Jie Ferry in Huize County and seized more than 40 salt boats. On the 5th, the follow-up troops arrived. On the 7th, the whole army crossed the Jinsha River in the northwest of Huize.

At this point, the Central Red Army successfully crossed the Jinsha River in the north, and the Battle of Sidu Chishui ended successfully. The Red Army got rid of the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops and won a decisive victory since the strategic shift.
