Speech composition of primary school students in Guangzhou Asian Games

Grassland is located in the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Sichuan Basin, with a length of more than 500 li and a width of more than 300 li, covering an area of about15,200 square kilometers and an altitude of more than 3,500 meters. The grassland crossed by the Red Army is mainly the Zoige area in northwest Sichuan. Grassland is actually a plateau wetland, a muddy swamp. There are many reasons for its formation, mainly because black and white rivers-Heihe River (also known as Moqu River) and Baihe River (also known as Gequ River) run through it from south to north and play an important role. The rivers of the two rivers are tortuous, and the Chahe River is naturally low-lying, and the accumulated water becomes a swamp. After years of aquatic plants, intertwined, tangled into pieces, full of stagnant water.

The vegetation growing in the swamp is mainly KOBRESIA tibetica, Carex wulanensis and Allium tuberosum. , forming a meadow. Under the meadow, the water is dark and muddy, knee-deep and bottomless. From a distance, it looks like a gray-green ocean, with no hills, no trees, no extinct birds and animals, no people, no villages, no roads, east and west, north and south, endless. When people and mules and horses walk on the grass, they must step on the roots of the grass and move along the grass. If you accidentally get into a quagmire and no one helps you, you will get deeper and deeper and even be swallowed up. The climate in grassland area is bad, and the clear sky and fog are unpredictable. May to September is the rainy season of grassland every year, which makes the already stagnant muddy swamp more endless. It was in this season that the Red Army crossed the grassland.

1In August, 935, the right-wing army led by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Red Fourth Front Army Command entered the grassland. The marching queue is divided into two roads, left and right, and advances in parallel. The left wing is Lin Biao's Red 1 Legion, which goes first; Followed by the central leading organs, the Red Army University and so on. On the right are the Red 30th Army and the Red 4th Army led by Xu and Chen Changhao. Peng led the Red 3 Army behind the house and took the left-wing marching route. Before entering the grassland, the Red Army tried every means to raise food. Hulled highland barley, ground into wheat grains, ground into flour and fried, becomes dry food fried noodles; Slaughter horses and yaks to make dried meat for consumption; To find and identify wild vegetables under the leadership of Tibetans for the needs of grassland; Also prepare soju, pepper or pepper juice to keep out the cold. Despite our best efforts, the food raised by the Red Army is still not enough for the whole army to eat. Each person can bring at most 8 to 10 kg, usually 5 to 6 kg, and some only 3 or 4 kg. The lack of food made the Red Army pay too much for its life when crossing the grassland.

It is hard for future generations to feel the difficulty of the Red Army crossing the grassland. First of all, walking is difficult. The endless grassland is full of aquatic plants, swamps and mires, and there is no road at all. People and horses must walk on the grass and jump from one grass to another. Or leaned on a stick to explore the depth, and several people helped to walk. In this way, at the end of the day, I am exhausted. There are three fears when crossing the meadow: one is afraid of not stepping on the meadow and getting stuck in the mud. The mire is usually deep. Struggle hard, you will get deeper and deeper, and you will be swallowed up by sludge before you can save it. When the Red Army was in those days, it was often that after one person got stuck, another person reached out and pulled, and if he pushed too hard, he would be trapped. Later, I learned from experience that I had to move my body slowly to get up, or wrap my leggings around the waist of my trapped comrades to get up. Mud water is not only inedible, but also soaked in broken legs and feet, which will be red, swollen and even festering, and it is difficult to get better at once. Second, I'm afraid of rain.

The meadow is difficult to walk, it is raining, and the feet are softer and smoother. If you are not careful, you will fall into the mud. Third, I'm afraid of crossing the river. There are many rivers on the grassland, some of which are shallower than others, some of which are wide and swift, and it is even more difficult if it rains. Weak, cold and hungry, can not help but stimulate the cold river. Almost every time we cross the river, even if it is one meter deep, soldiers fall down. Huang Kecheng said in his memoirs: Once, the troops were wading across the river when it suddenly rained heavily. The river surged and the torrent rolled, and many people who were still in the river were washed away and swallowed up by the flood. In this way, countless Red Army soldiers died on the grassland.
