1April, 928, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the uprising team from southern Hunan to Longshi, the Jinggangshan revolutionary base, and joined forces with the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants led by Mao Zedong to form the 4th Army of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants (later renamed the 4th Army of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants), with Mao Zedong as the party representative and Zhu De as the commander. Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base is located in the middle of Luo Xiao Mountain at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. Five hundred miles around are high mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous.
1928165438+1In mid-October, the Red Army assembled in Ninggang, Xincheng and Gucheng for winter training. Due to the tight blockade of the enemy forces in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, the Jinggangshan base area almost cut off all trade with the Kuomintang-ruled areas, and the life of the military and civilians in the base area was very difficult. The required salt, cotton, cloth, medicinal materials and grain are extremely scarce, and many difficulties are encountered in raising funds. In addition to meals, officers and men of the Red Army have to pay 50 cents a day for meals.
Three meals a day are mostly brown rice, pumpkin soup and sometimes wild vegetables. Winter has arrived, and the soldiers are still wearing light clothes. In order to solve the immediate problem of eating and storing food, the Red Fourth Front Army Command launched a campaign to pick food down the mountain. Most of these grains were shipped from Dalong, Ninggang. Dalong's grain is concentrated in Longshi, the ancient city and other places. Zhu De often goes with the team to pick grain, and travels 50 kilometers a day. It is very difficult to go up and down the mountain empty-handed.
But his two baskets are full every time, and they walk steadily and neatly. Young and strong boys are often left far away by him. The soldiers admire Zhu from the heart, but they love him dearly. People over 40 years old are fighting for the revolution, and they have to climb mountains and mountains to pick up food. What if they are exhausted? As soon as everyone discussed it, they hid his shoulder pole.
Zhu De is worried because he doesn't have a pole. He asked the guards to buy a bamboo with a thick bowl and send it to his hometown, and started carrying a pole overnight. In the moonlight, he skillfully broke, cut, scraped and sawed bamboo, and soon made half a yellow and white bamboo into a pole.
In order to prevent the soldier from hiding his shoulder pole again, the three characters "Zhu" are engraved on it. The next day, Samsung did not fall, and the grain-picking team set off again. Zhu De is still walking among the soldiers. Everyone was surprised to see that he had a new pole, and his reverence added a little more energy.
From then on, the story of Zhu De's shoulder pole spread. In order to forever commemorate Zhu De's spirit of hard struggle, Jinggangshan soldiers and civilians specially composed a song to praise him: "Zhu De picks the valley and goes to the depression, and the grain is absolutely reliable. Qi Xin made concerted efforts to smash the enemy's "encirclement and suppression".
