Towards Laoshan Boundary

(1) We decided to climb a 3-mile-high Yaoshan Mountain, which is called Yuechengling on the map and Laoshan Boundary on the local soil.

(2) Leave in the afternoon and walk up the ravine. I don't know why I can't walk ahead. I waited for a long time before I took a few steps and stopped to wait. The line was crowded and tired, so I sat down by the roadside and waited for the front to shout "Go, Go, Go", then stood up and walked again. I hope I can walk a little longer, but I can't walk a few steps and I have to stop. It's getting late and hungry, and many people are so bored that they cry and scold. We stole a space and ran to the front. The terrain gradually steepened. We have surpassed our own column and ran to the tail of the "Red Star" column. Just at the corner, we found a house by the road, so we went in to have a rest.

(3) This is a Yao family, where there are two people, mother and daughter. Probably because men have heard of the team, they have gone somewhere to hide according to their habits.

(4) "Sister-in-law, I'll lend you a rest here."

(5) "Please sit inside." She said with some frightened expression.

(6) The team is still moving very slowly. We started talking to Yao people. According to our experience along the way, no matter who they are, no matter how afraid they are of us at first, as long as we make it clear to them what the Red Army is, they will become very affectionate with us without changing their worries into happiness. Today, we will give Yao people a try.

(7) We talked about the Red Army, exorbitant taxes and levies, Guangxi warlords forbidding Yao people to believe in their own religion and killing them, and talked about her life here. The woman began to cry.

(8) She said that she used to own land, but the Han people drove them away from their own land. Now you have to pay a particularly heavy rent every year to live in this barren mountain and grow other people's land. She said: "The exorbitant taxes and levies in Guangxi are particularly heavy on the Yao people, and the warlords in Guangxi especially bully them. If only your Red Army had come earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much. "

(9) She asked us if we were hungry. This question hit home on our minds. She took out what little rice she had and put it on a stove made of wood in the middle of the room to cook porridge. She apologized to us and said that there was no more rice and no cauldron, or she would cook more for the troops. We gave her money, but she didn't want it. Finally, a comrade I know came and brought a bag of rice, which was enough for three days' food. Although we knew there was a shortage of food ahead, we gave her the whole bag of rice. She accepted with great joy.

(1) The troops had to March at night today. Her house and fence were made of dead bamboo. We were afraid that someone would take them down as torches, so we wrote several slogans and posted them in a conspicuous place outside with rice soup, telling our troops not to take down the fence as torches. We asked the Yao people, knowing that there was a bamboo forest ahead, which could be cut for torches, so we sent people to prepare for it.

marching at night

(11) porridge tastes very sweet because it is really hungry. We also serve bowls to Yao people's mother and daughter. Inquiring about the distance ahead, I know that there is a place called Leigong Rock in front, which is very steep. It is 3 miles up the mountain and 15 miles down the mountain, and the front is the edge of Tangfang. We haven't reached the foot of the mountain yet.

(12) Our team came, and we cooked some water for everyone to drink. All the way forward, it was dark before we reached the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, there were many bamboo forests.

(13) The sky is full of stars, and torches are lit. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, I saw the torches arranged in many zigzag shapes, all the way to the sky, connected with the starlight, and I couldn't tell whether they were torches or stars. This is really a spectacle I have never seen in my life.

(14) Everyone knows how steep the mountain is, and they can't help but feel nervous. They all shouted back and forth, trying their best to get over the mountain quickly.

(15) "Don't fall behind!"

(16) "Don't fall behind and be a turtle!"

(17) "We are against the sky!"

(18) Everyone laughed.

(19) Go up step by step on the way to the zigzag. Looking up, the torch is a little bit overhead in the sky; Looking down, it is simply a cliff, and the torch shines on people's faces, just under their feet.

(2) after walking for a long time, I suddenly couldn't walk in front. Word came that there was another road ahead on the cliff, and the horse couldn't climb it. After waiting for more than an hour, I gave orders to sleep here and climb the mountain early tomorrow morning.

(21) Sleep here? How can I do that? It is impossible to sleep in the bamboo forest. But sleep on the road? The road is only a foot wide. Isn't it hard to turn over in the middle of the night? Moreover, the stones on the road are very uneven, and a night's sleep will definitely hurt people.

(22) But there is nothing we can do, so we have to wrap a blanket and lie down across our hearts. Because I was so tired, I soon fell asleep.

set out at dawn

(23) I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, only to feel the chill, and I pierced my muscles and bones, trembling all over. Roll up the blanket tighter and curl up, but I still can't sleep. The twinkling stars in the sky are like jewels on a black curtain. They are so close to us! Black mountain peaks stand in front of us like giants. The surrounding mountains surround the valley like a well. There are several fires burning above and below; Comrades who woke up from the cold whispered around the fire. In addition, it is silence. There are unpredictable sounds in the ears, which are very far away and very close, very heavy and very fine, like spring silkworms chewing mulberry leaves, like wild horses galloping on the plains, like mountain springs whimpering, like waves surging. I don't know when I fell asleep again.

(24) I was woken up at dawn and said I was ready to start. Someone at the foot of the mountain brought food, regardless of the willy-nilly, grabbed a bowl and ate it.

(25) Another order was given that the team should climb the mountain today anyway. Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, you need to push forward along the way. A few of us stopped again, immediately wrote slogans, and assigned people to all sections of the mountain below to shout slogans and give speeches to help the patients and transporters. Busy for a while, then move forward.

(26) After a short walk, I saw the road on the cliff mentioned last night, that is, the so-called Leigong Rock, which was really steep, almost a 9-degree vertical stone ladder, only a foot wide; Next to it is a cliff, which is not very deep, but it is scary enough. A lot of horses have gathered under the cliff, but they can't go there last night until the whole column is over today. Several horses once fell off a cliff and broke their ankles.

(27) I crossed this stone ladder very carefully. Although the road above is still steep, it is not so steep. Go all the way, check the slogan all the way. I gradually dropped out of the team and did some encouraging work by the way.

(28) This steep mountain has been climbed. I thought the 3-mile mountain was just that little; It happened that a Yao people came and talked with him, knowing that there is still a long way to go, and there are still more than 2 miles of steep mountains.

(29) Yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast were not full. I'm hungry and I don't have enough strength, but I must summon up courage to move forward. Along the way, I saw that the slogans I had sent up before were used up, so I wrote slogans all the way. When you are too tired to walk, just lie on the ground for a while.

crossing the old mountain boundary

(3) I'm going to the top of the mountain, and I'm already far away. Many transporters have gone ahead, and the rest are medical personnel and cover troops. It's really hard for the medical staff, because the mountain is steep, the wounded and sick people all got off the stretcher and needed someone to help them. The lesbians in the medical staff are very brave. They are still offering condolences and helping the wounded and sick everywhere, and they don't know fatigue at all. Looking back on the road, those hills have become "dwarfs". The gunfire was very dense, probably at the place where we set off yesterday, and the Fifth and Eighth Legions were firing at the enemy. I heard the sigh of the enemy plane in the distance, probably sighing about my own fate: why not show your talents on the anti-Japanese front?

(31) At the top of the mountain, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon. It suddenly occurred to me that a monument should be set up here in the future, and it should be written that the Red Army went north to resist Japan and passed by here. I took a long breath and sat on the top of the mountain to have a rest. Looking back at the team, there are only a few people who have not climbed the mountain. We completed the task and instilled a strong will in everyone's heart throughout the column. Hunger, fatigue and even injuries were overcome by this will. The difficult old mountain boundary was defeated by a heavy team like us.

(32) Fifteen miles down the mountain is also very inclined. We ran at one breath, really fast. There are several beautiful scenery on the road. In the dense forest, the silver-like spring water flows down the mountain, and it is clear to the bottom. Beside each stream, there are many soldiers cooking porridge with washbasins, lunch boxes and tea pots. Although we were very hungry, we ran down the hill all the way to the campsite.

(33) The mountain climbing this time made the troops start to develop a new habit: cooking with washbasins, lunch boxes and tea pots. This habit has been maintained for a long time.

(34) Laoshan boundary is the first difficult mountain we crossed in the Long March. However, after we passed the Jinsha River, Dadu River, Snow Mountain and Grassland, we felt that the difficulties in the Laoshan boundary were still very small compared with these places. Appreciation of Lao Shan Jie

The first part is paragraphs 1 to 11, before climbing the mountain. The second part is 12 ~ 31 sections, which are in the process of mountain climbing. The third part is 32 ~ 33 paragraphs, pointing out that the Laoshan boundary is the "first difficult mountain" that the Red Army passed in the Long March.

With vivid, beautiful, sincere and delicate brushwork, Laoshanjie tells the story of the Red Army overcoming many difficulties and crossing the first difficult mountain in the Long March. It shows the Red Army's hard struggle, strong will to forge ahead and fearless revolutionary optimism under the leadership of China's * * * production party, and its heroic spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and daring to overcome all difficulties.

verses 2 to 11 show that the Red Army is an army that works for the people, indicating that the Red Army is not only a combat team, but also a propaganda team and a propagandist. It enriches the center of the article from one side. It shows that the Red Army is not afraid of difficulties, strong will and optimistic and heroic spirit.
