The transportation artery of Xishui County is a battleground for military strategists. The Red ArmyIn order to break out of the encirclement of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhu De led our army here. In late January 1935, the Guo Xunqi Department of the Sichuan Army of the Kuomintang was ordered to encircle and suppress the Red Army. At 5 o'clock in the morning on January 28, the Battle of Tucheng officially started. The Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army Zhu De and the Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng respectively led the Third and Fifth Red Army Corps to launch an attack on Guo Xunqi's First Division at Qinggangpo. After three hours of fierce fighting, the Red Army fought hard to break through Guo Xunqi's position. But Guo Xunqi is, after all, an elite unit of the Kuomintang, not only well-equipped.
And the soldiers are well-trained. This Guo Xunqi has a nickname, called Guo Mangwa. It means that he is brave and good at fighting, but difficult to deal with. This shows how tragic this battle was. Unexpectedly, due to the attack of enemy reinforcements, the Red Army soldiers were outnumbered and forced back from the commanding heights by the enemy. Seeing the enemy's reinforcements arriving one after another, Commander Zhu De made the decision not to be reluctant to fight, and led our army to quickly break out of the enemy's encirclement. Guo Xunqi here issued an order to all the soldiers. Soldiers on the battlefield must not escape, and those who escape will be shot. , upon this order, the enemy troops frantically defended their positions. Comrade Mao Zedong and Zhu De looked at the constant casualties of the Red Army on the battlefield, and decided to let Chen Geng's cadre regiment and political commissar Song Renqiong take orders in the face of danger, and lead their men into fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Chen Geng's cadre regiment are all elites of the Red Army, students of Red Army University. This battle was too fierce, so Chen Geng took them to the battlefield. Usually these people do not participate in the battle. After receiving the order, the soldiers of these cadre regiments rushed to their positions like arrows from the string and launched a desperate struggle with the enemy. Thanks to the participation of the cadre regiment, the morale of the Red Army was boosted.
The situation on the battlefield was reversed. At this moment, the enemy's machine gun kept firing, and the Red Army soldiers fell one after another. At this time, a soldier named Deng Shifang tied the grenade explosive packets together, and he poured engine oil. in oneself He jumped towards the hilltop where the enemy's machine guns were densely packed, and heard a loud noise. The machine gun soldiers on the enemy's hilltop were blown to pieces, and they were wailing all over the place. As a result, an exit was opened for the Red Army. The Red Army saw Deng Shifang's sacrifice. , all became furious with the enemy and attacked fiercely. In this way, the Red Army withdrew from Qingbangpo. After the war, communications soldier Deng Yinzhang burst into tears when he saw his second brother's face burned beyond recognition. Deng Yinzhang was only 17 years old.
His second brother had been taking care of him along the way, but now the laughing and lively brother was gone. The 17-year-old Deng Yinzhang couldn't help but feel heartbroken and helpless. At this time, the company commander came over and said: From now on, I will be yours. Second brother, I will take care of you. The Battle of Qinggangpo ended with heavy losses to Guo Xunqi's troops of the Sichuan Army, but the Red Army also paid a heavy price. Although this desperate battle did not result in victory, it forced a crossing of Chishui and unexpectedly escaped the chasing enemy. It was a watershed in the Red Army's military strategy, turning passivity into initiative, and ultimately turning defeat into victory.
