say that after listening to Mao Zedong,
revived a dead game?
Mao Zedong in the Red Army period
At the beginning,
Mao Zedong led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops to Jinggangshan,
created the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base,
carried out the famous "Sanwan Adaptation" of the troops when passing through Sanwan. ,
initially created a people's army under the command of the party.
After Zhu Mao joined forces,
although there were several setbacks,
under the leadership of Mao Zedong and Zhu De, the Red Army achieved three consecutive victories against "encirclement and suppression" campaigns.
On the contrary, it developed rapidly during the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" campaigns.
Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area There was a lot of prosperity.
Who knew that the change of central leadership at this time would bring direct blows and setbacks to Mao Zedong and the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area he led?
The "Left" central government headed by Wang Ming violently failed to follow Mao Zedong's correct line. ,
Fortunately,
the fourth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" under the command of Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Wang Jiaxiang,
followed Mao Zedong's strategy of "luring the enemy deep" and achieved great victory,
the Red Army has been further developed and strengthened.
But as Chiang Kai-shek launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign,
the misfortune of the Red Army and Central Revolutionary Base came -
Bogu came to as the specific executor of Wang Ming's "Left" spokesperson for the central government. ,
He directly replaced the military command authority of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others with the German Li De.
Under the blind command of Bogu and Li De,
he used the guerrilla " ten" that had been explored by Mao Zedong and others. The "Six-Character Policy" was discarded,
and instead a head-on approach was adopted against the enemy who had a clear advantage.
This was all Li De's copying of the Soviet tactics.
This was completely unsuitable for China. The revolutionary's actual self-destructive style of play soon dragged the Red Army, which had developed into its heyday, into the abyss.
Bogu and Li De did what Chiang Kai-shek wanted to do but could not do before.
The Red Army suffered successive defeats.
The scope of the Soviet area shrank rapidly under the enemy's strong attack.
In the end,
the Red Army faced being "made dumplings" by the enemy. "The desperate situation of annihilation,
Under this situation,
the Red Army had to withdraw from the Soviet area,
in order to seek a glimmer of hope.
Throughout the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression",
Bogu and Li De repeatedly refused to accept the correct suggestions put forward by Mao Zedong several times to bring the Red Army back to life.
In this way, they pushed the Red Army to a dead end.
Bogu and Li De during the Red Army period
Especially after the bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River,
Bogu and Li De made the serious mistake of "escapeism" during the retreat.
As a result, the Red Army directly lost more than 50,000 people in the first battle of the Xiangjiang River.
The Red Army dropped from 86,000 The number of people dropped sharply to more than 30,000.
Everyone can see such a cruel and tragic ending.
The Red Army directly reduced its number by two-thirds.
This has never been such a disastrous and humiliating defeat before!
When Mao Zedong led the Red Army to compete with the enemy,
even in the severe situation of the third counter-campaign of "encirclement and suppression" when the enemy's strength was 10 to 1,
Mao Zedong was able to take a small loss in exchange for a big advantage. In the end,
finally succeeded in crushing the enemy's third "encirclement and suppression" campaign.
Everyone can see it,
This is the huge gap between Bogu, Li De and others and Mao Zedong -
In the past, he followed Mao Zedong,
The battle became smoother and smoother,
The Red Army became stronger and stronger;
Now he follows Bogu and Li De,
The battle gets worse and worse,
The more the Red Army fights, the more losses it suffers.
If it continues like this,
I am afraid that these more than 30,000 people will not be able to save it!
We are not fools.
I joined the Red Army to make revolution in order to give the poor people in the world a better future.
Instead of meaninglessly dying on the battlefield!
Under such circumstances,
everyone in the Red Army strongly demanded a change of leadership.
If the Red Army continues to be commanded by Bogu and Li De like this,
these 30,000 people will probably die in the end!
Mao Zedong has been with Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian since the Long March.
Wang Jiaxiang was able to accompany the army on the Long March because Mao Zedong fought for it with his righteous speech.
He originally admired Mao Zedong's military ability,
Therefore, he firmly supported Mao Zedong. .
Because Zhang Wentian had many contacts with Mao Zedong in government work,
he also developed more and more understanding and admiration for Mao Zedong.
Winning the support of Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian was very important to Mao Zedong.
At this time, the Red Army was mainly commanded by Zhou Enlai.
Bogu and Li De still insisted on the planned plan to join He Long's troops.
Chiang Kai-shek had already noticed the Red Army's intention.
Quickly mobilized 200,000 troops to lay out a tight encirclement. ,
is waiting for the Red Army to drill inside.
Zhou Enlai raised no objection to Bo Gu and Li De's claims,
but Mao Zedong proposed that
the troops should abandon their original plan and go west to Guizhou, where the enemy was weak,
and they must not go further north,
Going north means putting yourself into the enemy's pocket!
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Bogu during the Long March (first from right)
At this critical moment,
Zhou Enlai accepted Mao Zedong’s opinions.
This means that the fate of the Red Army has begun to change,
has begun to reverse from the dead end.
When no one knew where the Red Army should go to survive the desperate situation,
it was Mao Zedong who stood up and pointed out the direction to everyone.
Just like the Jinggangshan period before,
the development of the Red Army and the expansion of the base areas were all Mao Zedong's groping. The direction and road out,
, and this direction and road were proved correct by Mao Zedong.
The same is true now.
The Red Army is on the verge of desperation under the wrong command of Bo Gu and Li De.
Faced with the heavy encirclement of Chiang Kai-shek, how can
escape from his encirclement?
History once again pushed Mao Zedong to the forefront at this time,
because only Mao Zedong knew how to lead everyone out of Chiang Kai-shek's heavy encirclement.
Where should the Red Army go next?
In the end, Bogu, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wentian, Mao Zedong, Wang Jiaxiang and Li De held a meeting to decide.
Wang Jiaxiang and Zhang Wentian both supported Mao Zedong's ideas.
Zhou Enlai also accepted Mao Zedong's ideas.
Bogu was hit hard by the failure and had no idea.
Don't stick to your point of view,
that's it,
The meeting finally decided to go west to Guizhou.
Mao Zedong did not become the main leader of the Red Army at this time,
but at this time,
he had already taken action to turn the course of the revolution,
his hand was already on the rudder of the giant ship of revolution.
After listening to Mao Zedong's words this time,
the Red Army advanced all the way west.
As expected, it did not encounter much resistance.
was no longer driven away by heavy enemy troops like before.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Relaxed a little,
Bogu proposed to go north to join He Long.
Because he still refused to give up, the command of the Red Army would slip away from his hands.
Li De also quickly agreed with Bogu's suggestion.
Mao Zedong still advocated continuing to march westward,
Zhou Enlai once again faced the choice between two different opinions.
Zhou Enlai was furious at Li De's consistent disrespect for the Chinese.
He even turned against Li De.
In fact, this is a major signal -
indicates that he is increasingly choosing to accept Mao Zedong's opinions in his heart.
Finally continued to listen to Mao Zedong's opinions.
The Red Army was on the verge of despair and ushered in a rare chance of life.
The Red Army's dead game was revived by Mao Zedong!
The Red Army marched westward in accordance with Mao Zedong's advice.
The enemy's deployment was completely disrupted.
The Red Army continued to win small victories all the way.
The sluggish morale was swept away.
Everyone gradually cheered up.
The team was even able to replace the new ones. military uniform.
On New Year's Day 1935,
the Red Army continued to march westward according to Mao Zedong's proposition,
crossed the Wujiang River and captured Zunyi,
held the Zunyi Conference,
canceled Li De's military command authority,
the power within the party gradually moved towards Mao Zedong. Get closer,
more and more leaders are siding with Mao Zedong,
Wang Jiaxiang proposed to elect Mao Zedong as the leader of the party from an organizational perspective,
Zhang Wentian also agreed with Wang Jiaxiang’s opinion of knocking down Bo Gu and Li De,
Zhang Wentian said Very classic words -
Comrade Mao Zedong has a way to fight the war,
has a way better than we do,
we cannot lead,
we still have to let Comrade Mao Zedong out!
