In October 1934, Red Army began Long March . Among this brave army who overcome many difficulties and create miracles, there are many young Red Army soldiers. Therefore, many troops were given the title of the Baby Army. These little Red Army soldiers who participated in the Long March later devoted their lives to the revolution. Among them, there is a young soldier who participated in the Long March at the age of nine. He witnessed the victory of the Chinese revolution from the beginning to the victory. He is Xiangxuan .
Many soldiers who devoted themselves to the revolution have been closely linked to the revolution from the beginning, and this is true for Xiang Xuan. He was born in a red family, his mother's name is He Mangu, and he is He Long's real sister. Influenced by his family, many people in the He family participated in the revolution. When He Mangu was pregnant with Xiang Xuan, he was already fighting guerrilla wars with his comrades on the mountain.
Born in such a red family, Xiang Xuan's life is closely linked to the revolution. However, due to the revolutionary cause, Xiang Xuan's childhood life was very difficult, and his mother unfortunately died in the battle. Xiang Xuan's aunt He Ying brought the young Xiang Xuan out, but soon his aunt died in the battle. Losing many relatives in succession, Xiang Xuan, who was only 7 years old at this time, embarked on a journey to find the Red Army with hatred for the enemy.
lost his mother since childhood, but Xiang Xuan learned how to fight in this unfortunate childhood. His aunt once taught him a lot of knowledge about guerrilla warfare during his lifetime. Although he is still a child, he has learned how to fight the enemy with a gun. On the way to find the Red Army, Xiang Xuan had fought with the enemy and almost lost his life. Later, after going through a lot of hardships along the way, he finally found his uncle He Long's team.
He Long felt very sad when he learned about the situation at home through his nephew. At the same time, he was very surprised by the young nephew, and he didn't expect that the child could fight the enemy at such a young age. However, although He Long let his nephew enter the Red Army, he did not let his children go directly to the front line to fight. Although the Red Army had a large number of baby soldiers at that time, Xiang Xuan was still too young, pushing such a young child to the front line would be like killing him.
So, with the help of He Long, 7-year-old Xiang Xuan joined the Communist Party of China and joined the Red Army again. At the beginning, Xiang Xuan worked as a serviceman in the headquarters, and was soon transferred to serve as correspondent . Although he was not old, Xiang Xuan was very studious. He was very clever and soon became famous in the communication class. The Red Army was facing the enemy's encirclement and suppression at this time. Xiang Xuan followed the army many times and contributed to the revolution in his own way.
However, as the situation changes, the Red Army needs to start a strategic shift. Many people are worried about Xiang Xuan about the upcoming Long March. After all, it is too dangerous for such a young child to follow the troops to join the Long March. Xiang Xuan was not timid. At this time, he was already the deputy squad leader of the communications squad. There were many children as old as him in the team. Xiang Xuan and everyone were very determined, so they started the difficult Long March with the large army.
From the beginning, the battle situation was very unfavorable to He Long and others' troops. They not only had to face the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army, but also had to find ways to deal with the dangerous natural conditions along the way. As the soldiers walked along the way, many of them fell on the road.
For children like Xiang Xuan, the road to the Long March is even more difficult. They support each other and follow the large army closely. Xiang Xuan and others were injured and sick many times along the way, and sometimes they had to pick up their weapons to join the battle.
Along the way, Xiang Xuan lost many companions and encountered danger countless times. The experience of the Long March will never be forgotten. It was during this journey that Xiang Xuan grew up into a staunch revolutionary warrior. After following the army to northern Shaanxi, Xiang Xuan entered a new battle. After experiencing the previous test, Xiang Xuan became even more fearless. He always rushed forward and fought bravely with the enemy. From the War of Resistance to the War of Liberation, Xiang Xuan experienced countless battles, was injured 26 times in the front and back, and one eye was still blinded during the battle.
All this did not stop Xiang Xuan from moving forward. He finally realized the wishes of his mother, aunt and others.With my own efforts, I made great contributions to the revolution and saw the success of the revolution with my own eyes. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiang Xuan was still striving for the development of the country.
In 1982, Xiang Xuan officially retired. In his later years, he was in a very tough state and still remembered what happened back then. Now, Xiang Xuan is 96 years old, and he has been caring about the development of the country for many years. Xiang Xuan often talks with his children about the stories of the Long March. In this way, he passed on the revolutionary will passed down from generation to his next generation. He hopes that the children can inherit the will of their ancestors and strive for the future of the country.
