Analysis:

At that time, the Red Army's battle to break through the Wujiang River started at the same time from Jiangjiehe Ferry, Longxi Huilongchang Ferry and Yankeng Ferry, and all three places were successful. Among them, the first and most famous breakthrough was the battle of crossing the river. Jiang Jie is also the most dangerous place in Wujiang River.

1934 65438+February 3 1 Red 4th Regiment of Red 2nd Division of Red 3rd Regiment set out immediately after receiving the military order to cross Wujiang River. After half a day's emergency March, the troops arrived at the monkey farm more than 0/00 miles south of Wujiang River.

That night, the troops ushered in the New Year and celebrated the New Year by the Wujiang River. The locals said that crossing the Wujiang River must meet three conditions, namely:

First, there must be big wooden boats;

Second, it must be sunny;

Third, there must be a good boatman who is familiar with the water quality of Wujiang River.

However, when the Red 2 nd Army Red 4 th Regiment came to the ferry, the ferry had been burned by the * * * reactionaries, and none of the above conditions were met. Moreover, there are steep cliffs on both sides of Wujiang River. The south bank of Wujiang River needs 65,438+00 miles of steep rocky mountains to reach the river, and the north bank needs 65,438+00 miles of enemy rocky barren hills to connect with the roads leading to Zunyi and Tongzi. Wujiang River flows between the walls of Mowu Gorge. This section of the river is not wide, only about 250 meters, but the flow rate is 1.8 meters per second. The whole Wujiang River rushes northeast like a dark blue dragon; Whatever you throw, it disappears in an instant.

The next day, the Red Fourth Regiment began to try to cross the river twice and row a bamboo raft for the second time. 1935 65438+ 10 On 2 October, when the bamboo raft crossing the Wujiang River approached the shore, six soldiers who had been waiting under the enemy fortifications jumped out from under the eyes of the enemy. The colonel quickly organized 1 camp to cross the river and quickly occupied the highland. At this point, the 3rd Battalion is anxiously waiting for the crossing tool-bamboo raft. Under the effective attack of Zhao Zhangcheng Artillery Company, the enemy attacking our beachhead troops were wiped out, and the beachhead troops took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. Brothers like Sanying, who had been waiting by the river, pursued the victory and crossed the Wujiang River on the pontoon bridge built with bamboo rafts and door panels in the engineering barracks. Red 4 regiment crossed the river.

At the same time, the Red 1 Division 1 Regiment forced its crossing at Huilongchang Ferry in Longxi, and the Red 5 Division 13 Regiment of Red 3 Corps forced its crossing at Yankeng Ferry, which was also successful a little later than half a day.

The engineering barracks quickly set up two pontoons, and the Red 1 Army crossed the Wujiang River on the pontoons. The central government also crossed the river on the pontoon bridge.

The enemy's so-called impregnable Wujiang natural barrier was finally broken by the Red Army.

In this battle, the first 22 warriors were called red heroes. Mao Zhenhua, the leader of 22 heroes, the company commander of the Third Company of Gongsi Army Corps, won the Red Star Medal.

After liberation, the story of the Red Army's breakthrough in Wujiang River was made into a movie and put on the screen. This is indeed a typical example of a diversion, surprise, surprise, and attack and outwit.
