In September 2021, I set out in Chengdu. The first stop was a tough battle fought by the Red Fourth Front Army splitting southward. Baizhang Pass battle site. Baizhang Pass is an important pass of great strategic value between Ya'an and Mingshan Mountains in Sichuan. The transition zone between plains, hills and mountains. Surrounded by three mountains, it is the only way from Ya'an to Chengdu, and the terrain is very dangerous.

The Battle of Baizhangguan was an important battle between the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army that went south and the Sichuan Army of the Kuomintang in 1935. The scale of the battle, the large number of participants, the long duration, the difficulty, the solemnity and the cruelty of the battle made it a battle second only to the bloody battle of the Xiangjiang River in the history of the Red Army's Long March. From November 13th to 16th, the Red Fourth Front Army concentrated the strength of 15 regiments and captured all the way to Baizhang Town . In order to prevent the Red Army from entering the western Sichuan plain, Liu Xiang urgently mobilized his main force of 85 regiments and 9 independent battalions, totaling more than 200,000 Sichuan troops, to gather in the famous mountain area and fight the Red Army in the famous mountain town of Baizhang Pass. After seven days and nights of fierce fighting, although more than 15,000 enemy soldiers were killed or injured, the Red Army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. The main force was frustrated, the main position was lost, and they were forced to withdraw from Baizhang on the 21st.

This battle lasted for 18 days and nights, and the battle became more and more fierce. It was the most brutal battle since the move south. After the Battle of Baizhang, the entire army withdrew to the three counties of Tianquan, Lushan and Baoxing in that month to rest and prepare for the winter. In February 1936, the Red Army was forced to retreat again, and in April it moved to Daofu, Luhuo and Ganzi areas. At this point, the number of the Red Army going south was reduced from 80,000 to more than 40,000, and the move south suffered a failure.

The ruins are built on a hillside. Going up the steps, you will see the Baizhangguan Monument in front of you. Behind the monument is the Red Army Square, and a memorial hall is being built on the opposite side of the mountain. I only made a short stop at Baizhang Pass, then drove to Jiajinshan Red Army Memorial Hall, and arrived at Baoxing County at about noon. Baoxing County is affiliated to Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, located in the west of Sichuan Province, the western edge of the Sichuan Basin , Baoxing County. Xing County borders Lushan to the east, Tianquan to the south, Kangding to the west, and Xiaojin to the north. It is the transition zone between the Chengdu Plain and the Western Sichuan Plateau.

The streets in the county town are relatively narrow. The Qingyi River passes through the city. The city is built along the mountains. I parked the car near the memorial hall. The first thing I saw when I got off the car was the Red Army Square. In the center of the square is the Long March themed sculpture. The above are respectively There are images of Tibetan guides, Red Army soldiers, officers, etc. The lower edge of the monument is engraved with a scene of the Red Army hand in hand crossing Jiajin Mountain. The four characters "Snow Mountain Monument" are engraved on the west side of the monument. On the west side of the square is a picture of the Red Army's Long March. Paint guardrails. Behind the

square is the Memorial Hall. Entering the Memorial Hall, everyone visited the pictures, cultural relics and text introductions displayed in the two exhibition halls: "The Red Army's Long March Over Jiajin Mountain" and "Chen Yun's Departure from Sichuan and Chen Yun's Glorious Life", recalling the epic Red Army During the Long March, I carefully studied the heroic deeds and touching stories of Mitsukoshi Jiajinshan, Chen Yun Chuchuan, and underground party members left behind by the Red Army’s Long March through Baoxing. And by watching film and television documentaries, I gained a deeper understanding of the difficulties encountered by Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others on their way over Jiajin Mountain, and further appreciated the arduous entrepreneurial spirit of the Red Army who was not afraid of expedition difficulties.

After the visit, I ate the Baoxing special fish pot at a nearby fish restaurant. It was very tasty, not very expensive, and very affordable. It left an impression on Baoxing.

Jiajin Mountain, also known as Snow Mountain , is located at the junction of Baoxing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province and Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture. It is the first snow mountain climbed by the Red Army in the Long March, and is also the only way from Ya'an to Xiaojin Siguniang Mountain. . Jiajin Mountain is famous for its snow scenery. The virgin forest here is dense and the main peak is 4930 meters above sea level. It is the birthplace of Qingyi River.

The car walked along the valley and followed the navigation instructions to the memorial site where the Red Army passed Jiajin Mountain. There was a village nearby, which seemed to be a Tibetan village. Standing at the memorial site of the Red Army's Long March over Jiajin Mountain, in front of me is a winding path up the mountain.

This is the starting point for the Red Army to cross Jiajin Mountain. The road under their feet is exactly the same path that the Red Army took back then.This road is called the "Red Army Trail" by the locals. It is about 30 kilometers long and winds along the mountain. It starts from Dao Shuigou at the foot of Jiajin Mountain, passes through Erdao Shuigou, Shaoji Nest, and ends at the Jiajin Mountain Pass at the Queen Mother. Village. I walked along the Red Army Trail for a while and felt out of breath, so I returned along the original road. I took a photo of the Jiajin Mountain Red Army Memorial Site at the foot of the mountain. I drove up the mountain along the winding road. The roads up the mountain were all asphalt, but It feels colder, and the fog gets worse as you go up. There is snow that never melts on both sides of the road. When you stop at the pass, you will find it is a world of snow, without any green. There are many mountains in the distance, and white clouds surround the mountains, as if you are in heaven and on earth. It started to rain lightly on the top of the mountain, and it was very cool. I hurried down the mountain. The road down the mountain was very difficult to walk. Road construction was in progress. The rainwater fell to the ground and made the ground wet. In addition, the construction vehicles squeezed it, forming deep ruts. In some places, I was turning over water, and there was water in some places. I moved forward cautiously, but the further I went, the harder it became. My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I couldn't go back. I didn't feel sure when I walked, and I might feel sleepy. On the mountain, I saw broken down vehicles from time to time as I walked forward, which made me feel even more nervous. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful. After walking through a very difficult section of the road, it gradually became easier. I walked out of the valley in prayer. At this time My heart was relieved.

According to the navigation guide, we came to Dawei Township . Dawei Township is located at the northern foot of Jiajin Mountain, 35 kilometers away from Xiaojin County. The town is very unique. It is built on the mountain. There is a road in the middle of the village. When you come to the junction bridge , you can see the junction monument on the left side of the road. The wooden bridge lying on the Wori River at the foot of the mountain is the Dawei Bridge. I quickly went down to admire the bridge carefully. It was a wooden bridge with a stone and log structure, running from northeast to southwest. The bridge deck is paved with wooden planks and there are wooden bridge railings on both sides. I took a photo with the Reunion Bridge and reluctantly left.

The car drove to Xiaojin County in the evening. Xiaojin County is a county under the jurisdiction of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. It is named after Xiaojinchuan in the territory. The county town is not big and is built on a hillside. The car went up the mountain road and drove to a high-rise hotel. After finding a parking space, we quickly went to the Red Army Reunion Square opposite. There was a commemorative sculpture of the reunification in the center of the square, and some people were dancing in the square around it. , I took a lens and went to the Maogong Catholic Church. This is the former site of the Tong Le Club and the site of the rendezvous. The church was closed for retreat, so I had to take pictures outside the door. Then I checked in at the hotel and had a drink at the hotel that night. happy.

The next day we got up early and rushed to Lianghekou, where an important meeting was held at the Long March Reunion of the Red Army. The road to Lianghekou was a county-level highway. Some sections of the road were not easy to walk and the speed was relatively slow. It took nearly three days. We arrived at the old conference venue an hour later. The Lianghekou Conference Site is located at Guandi Temple in Lianghekou Town, 70 kilometers north of Xiaojin County. The original site can no longer be seen. I walked to the backyard and saw a remaining building marking the conference site. I regretted coming to the front yard to visit the memorial hall. , the memorial hall was built near the meeting site. The theme of the museum is "Victory Reunion and the Decision to Go North". Based on the battle life of the Red Army, the Red Army, and the Fourth Front Army in Xiaojin, the exhibition hall is divided into a preface hall and a rendezvous concert hall. , Government Establishment Department and Lianghebei Shang Department. This meeting determined the great strategy of the Red Army going north to resist Japan. Denying Zhang Guotao's erroneous idea of ​​going south, he clearly proposed the strategic policy of going north to establish the Shaanxi-Gansu revolutionary base in order to lead and promote the national anti-Japanese movement.
