Red 2 and 6th legions swore from Sang Zhi to break through to Hunan and Guizhou.

html In early March, the reporter came to the Memorial Hall of the Memorial Hall of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army in Liujiaping Bai Township, Sangzhi County. Walking into the preface hall, the reliefs of He Long, Ren Bishi, Guan Xiangying, Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen, the leaders of the Second Red Army, were vivid and attracted the attention of tourists."Among the three main forces of the Red Army that successfully met in the Long March, there was such a force. A year ago, there were more than 17,000 people when they set out from Sangzhi, and more than 10,000 people were sacrificed during the Long March, but there were still more than 10,000 people when they arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu." The tour guide Yang Li enthusiastically introduced that this heroic army was the Red Second Front Army, formerly the Red Second and Sixth Corps. They were the troops with the largest number of Red Army expansion and the smallest proportion of losses among the Long March troops of the Red Army.

Comrade Mao Zedong once praised this: "You have 10,000 people, but you still have 10,000 people coming over. It is an amazing miracle that has not been lost. It is a great experience. We must summarize and learn from everyone." How was the miracle created? Time goes back to November 1935. At that time, the enemy mobilized 300,000 heavy troops to launch a new "encirclement and suppression" on the revolutionary base of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou.
Facing the strong enemy approaching, on November 4, the Hunan-Hubei-Guizhou Provincial Committee and the Military Commission Branch held a joint meeting in Liujiaping, Sangzhi. "This is an extremely important meeting, and the correct decision was made to implement strategic transfer by the Red Second and Sixth Corps." Qin Zhangheng, deputy director of the Helong Memorial Hall, told reporters that the meeting believed that the strong enemy was approaching and the base area was shrinking, so it was decided to implement strategic transfer, break through the enemy's siege line, turn to the border of Hunan and Guizhou, and strive to create new base areas in the areas of Guizhou East Shiqian, Zhenyuan , and Huangping.
After the Liujiaping meeting, the Second and Sixth Corps of the Red Army began to deploy strategic transfer operations. They learned from the experience and lessons of the First Red Army in the early stage of the Long March, and made a series of purposeful, organized and planned careful preparations from the determination of strategic policies to the preparations before the action, as well as the selection of time and directions. Starting from early November, all troops have concentrated on Sangzhi for rest and recuperation, carried out extensive ideological education and political mobilization, reorganized, enriched the main Red Army, carried out military training, and improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

html On November 19, after full preparation, the Second and Sixth Corps of the Red Army held a breakout oath meeting at Gantianba in Liujiaping in Sangzhi and the Maple Tower in Ruitapu. That night, in addition to leaving the main force of the 18th Red Division to fight guerrillas on the spot to cover the breakout, He Long, Ren Bishi, Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen led a total of 17,000 soldiers of the Red Second and Sixth Legions to bid farewell to the Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou Revolutionary Base Area, bid farewell to the base area who share weal and woe and are connected with flesh and blood, and embark on the long journey of strategic transfer.Qin Zhangheng said: "One of the biggest characteristics of the strategic transfer of the Red Second and Sixth Corps is that they insist on using Mao Zedong's correct military ideas, and maneuver and flexibly attack the enemy and break through the blockade during the movement."
After starting from Sang Zhi, the Red Second and Sixth Corps quickly broke through the Li and Yuan rivers, cleverly detoured in central Hunan, and rushed east to west to west, attracting and mobilizing a large number of enemy troops, forcing the enemy's active "encirclement and suppression" to become passive "chasing and suppression".
"The process of the Red Second and Sixth Legions breaking through the Long March is also a process of spreading the spark of revolution, and the revolutionary team has been continuously supplemented and developed."Tin Zhangheng introduced that after the Second and Sixth Red Army arrived in central Hunan, it combined armed struggle with mass work, troops rest and red expansion propaganda, widely carried out civil movement work, which was warmly welcomed by the masses. During the rest and recuperation in central Hunan, the Red Army expanded its army by more than 5,400 people and obtained a large amount of material supplements, laying the foundation for continuing the long-distance battle.
On January 7, 1936, the Red Army sank against the "pursuing and suppressing" enemy After the heavy strike, taking advantage of the opportunity that the enemy did not dare to advance rashly, he marched from southwestern Hunan to east Guizhou. On the 8th, the Red Second Army entered the Yuping County Tianchong area. On the 9th, the Red Sixth Army captured the Jiangkou county. On the 12th, the Red Second Army occupied Shiqian. At the same time, the Red 18th Division, which was responsible for carrying out the mission of covering the main breakthrough, also took place in Mowan, Jiangkou, Qiandong Riverside on January 9th. Joined with the main force of the Red Sixth Army. At this point, all the Red Two and Sixth Army evacuated Hunan.
Every time the Red Two and Sixth Army arrived, they fully carried forward the fine traditions of the people's army, sowed red seeds all the way, won the love and support of the masses, and a large number of people actively participated in the Red Army, injecting vitality into the Chinese revolution. To this day, we need to carry forward the glorious tradition of the military loving the people and supporting the military, and consolidate and develop military affairs The military and civilians united, followed the Party unswervingly, and realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
"A heroic force that cannot be dragged down or defeated"
When the Red Second and Sixth Corps swore to the Long March from Sangzhi, He Long, on behalf of the Military Commission branch, handed over the arduous task of staying in Xiangxi, defending the Soviet area, and restraining the enemy to the 18th Division of the Red Sixth Corps.
The division left the troops The staff includes more than 3,000 hospitals, agencies and cadres, and the division headquarters is located in Ciyantang, Longshan County, the base center. The division commander and political commissar Zhang Zhenkun is a famous "guerrilla expert".
Subsequently, the 18th Red Division mobilized, and Zhang Zhenkun proposed to the entire division to carry forward the "four no fears" spirit of "not afraid of powerful enemies, not afraid of dangerous environments, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of bloodshed and sacrificed", and resolutely complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.
From November 15, 1935, in just over 10 days, Zhang Zhenkun led the 18th Red Division to carry out guerrilla operations. After many fierce battles, he led the enemy's nose, making the enemy unable to understand the reality and intentions of the Red Army. In the end, they used their lives and blood to cover the main force to achieve strategic transfer.
htmlOn November 3, the 18th Red Division received a call from the Legion headquarters to "break through immediately and catch up with the main force." . In order to get the pursuit of the enemy further, the 18th Red Division gave up the favorable opportunity to break through directly, and circled around the base area to continue to confuse the enemy and ensure the safety of the main force. htmlOn November 15, the 18th Red Division held a sworn meeting in Chenjiahe, Sangzhi County, and began to break through the next day. On January 9, 1936, the 18th Red Division had several battles and met with the main force of the Red Sixth Legion in Mowan at the mouth of the Guidong River.has been fighting alone for nearly two months. The 18th Red Division has traveled to more than 20 counties with a spirit of self-defeating sacrifice. It has fought many times with strong enemies dozens of times its own. It has excellently completed the important task of restraining the enemy's heavy troops, supporting the main force to break through, and finally returning to the team successfully. Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen praised the 18th Red Division as "a heroic force that cannot be dragged down or beaten."
