Wei Zi is missing. I can't find it.

One day at 200 1, Yang, deputy director of the Party History Research Office in Shiqian County, Guizhou Province, saw a historical document of the Red Army's Long March while looking through local materials.

"More than a hundred Red Army soldiers jumped off the cliff, and this army was wiped out."

Yang, who has a certain understanding of the party's history, immediately became alert, because the historical materials did not explain the serial number of this unit.

Reminiscent of the Long March, the Hongliu Corps arrived in Shiqian County during the Western Expedition, when the 52nd Corps disappeared on the way to the Western Expedition. Yang had a bold guess in his heart: "Are these Red Army soldiers who jumped off the cliff from the 52nd regiment?"

With questions, Yang inquired about the news everywhere and visited the local people many times. After a long period of research, Yang finally found out the identity of the cliff jumper.

Since then, a dusty past of the Red Army for nearly 70 years has been awakened again, and the truth that the 52nd Regiment has disappeared for more than half a century has finally been uncovered.

The cause and effect of this incident have to start from the fifth counter-campaign of the Red Army.

Starting from 1933, in the face of Japanese imperialism's massive attacks in North China and other places, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the so-called strategy of "being busy outside must be determined internally" and mobilized heavy troops to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign against the central revolutionary base areas.

In the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", our army was defeated by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang armed forces because of the wrong command of Wang Ming, Bo Gu Kailai and others. At this time, the China revolution has reached a critical moment of life and death, and the fate of the CPC Central Committee has become a key issue.

In this difficult situation, Chairman Mao made a decisive decision and decided to abandon the revolutionary base areas in the north and south of the Yangtze River and transfer the main force of the Red Army to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area, thus kicking off the 25,000-mile long March.

It is against this background that the Gong Liu Legion was formed. 1September, 934, Ren and Xiao Ke were ordered to lead the Red Sixth Army Corps, with a total of more than 9,700 people, and began the Western Expedition. As pioneers, their main purpose is to explore the road for the Long March of the Central Red Army.

After the Gong Liu Legion set out from Jinggangshan, it was besieged and blocked by the Kuomintang along the way. Ren and Xiao Ke led the soldiers to retreat in the form of guerrilla warfare, but never let the Kuomintang keep up with the pace of the Red Army.

After a long journey of more than two months, the Red Sixth Army came to Ganxi County, Guizhou Province, expecting to have a good rest here, but their whereabouts were soon exposed.

After the discovery of the Red Army, the Kuomintang 19 Division stationed in western Jiangxi quickly reported to the Kuomintang General Suppression. Chiang Kai-shek immediately sent 24 regiments with a total of 40,000 people to the west of Jiangxi.

At this time, the Gong Liu Legion didn't know that a big war was coming, and they would face many times their own enemies. How could the troops fight against the enemies that were superior in number and equipment?

More than two months of hard work, coupled with a serious shortage of food and weapons and ammunition, made the Red Army's operations very passive and suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the enemy.

10 On June 5, 2005, 55438+05, there were only more than 3,000 people left in the 9,000-strong army. In order to preserve the revolutionary flame, Ren decided to lead a team to break through.

There are many mountains and rivers in Guizhou, and the resistance of troops marching is great. In order to gain more time for the main force to break through, after discussion, it was decided that Long Yun, the division commander of 18, would lead 800 soldiers from 52 regiments to break through.

"Whether the main force of 3,000 people can successfully break through depends on you, Comrade Long Yun." Ren Bishi heavy said to Long Yun.

"Please rest assured that the chief will ensure the completion of the task." After receiving the order, Long Yun did not hesitate. He knows the importance and difficulty of this task, and he is ready to sacrifice.

When Long Yun brought the order to the soldiers of the 52nd regiment, everyone knew what it meant, but no one backed down. There is not a trace of timidity on the faces of these 20-year-olds.

Ren led a large army to deploy after going south, ready to join forces with the Red Sanjuntuan, while Long Yun led the soldiers of the 52nd regiment to build fortifications, ready to stop the enemy pursuing south.

Due to the large number of enemies and the bombing by planes and artillery, the 52nd regiment lost more than 300 people after several hours of fighting.

If this continues, the 52nd regiment will be wiped out in a few hours. In order to buy more time for the main force, Long Yun decided to retreat to the west to attract the enemy to the west.

Long Yun knew that if he quit the West, it would be a narrow escape. He told the soldiers: "now our main force is in the south, and we can't go south." We will go west to cover the main force. Are you afraid? "

"Not afraid! Not afraid! Not afraid! " All the soldiers spoke in unison. For the revolutionary cause of China, for the ideals and beliefs in their hearts, the soldiers have no hesitation and are ready to devote themselves to the great cause.

Without hesitation, Long Yun immediately led the remaining 400 soldiers to retreat to the west. Sure enough, as Long Yun expected, the Kuomintang troops followed all the way and were taken to the west.

A few days later, the 52nd Regiment came to the sleepy Niu Shan in Shiqian, Guizhou, where there were cliffs everywhere, which greatly reduced the marching speed of the troops. At this critical moment, the enemy's pursuit troops followed closely.

The two sides fought fiercely. Because the soldiers of the 52nd Regiment are all elites of our army, they beat back the enemy's attacks again and again.

But if you stick to the trapped Niu Shan, you can't jump out of the enemy's encirclement after all. After relevant analysis, Long Yun decided to personally lead 200 soldiers to break through the back hill, and the remaining 200 soldiers were led by team leader Tian.

In order to delay the time as much as possible, the soldiers who were trapped in Niu Shan tried their best to stick to it. The enemy's attacks were disintegrated again and again, and they could not break through this steel line of defense.

The Kuomintang army, which was frustrated many times, was angry. In order to wipe out the Red Army on the mountain as soon as possible, the enemy actually used extremely dirty and despicable means.

After failing to attack the Red Army, the Kuomintang army called in the local militia. As minions of the Kuomintang reactionaries, these militia groups have exhausted all means to deal with the soldiers of the 52nd regiment of the Red Army.

Before the arrival of the Red Army, the militia vilified the image of the Red Army everywhere and described it as a bandit who did all kinds of evil. The unsuspecting local people believed it and avoided the Red Army.

However, these militia groups actually know the real situation of the Red Army. They know the discipline of the Red Army. Not only will they not take the needle and thread of the masses, but they will also not do anything that hurts them.

In this regard, they came up with a dirty trick. The militia found the local people, put them in militia clothes and walked at the front of the team. Under this threat, these people acted as a shield for the Kuomintang army.

The Red Army soldiers on the mountain were at a loss when they saw unarmed people walking in front. Colonel Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Comrades, don't shoot people."

Every soldier knows in his heart that even if he sacrifices his own life, he can't hurt a common people.

In this way, the Kuomintang troops approached our position step by step, and the Red Army soldiers did not fire a shot. When the enemy was only 20 meters away from our position, trumpeter He Burong sounded the charge.

All the soldiers rushed out of the trenches with bayonets and launched fierce hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. After more than an hour of fighting, the team of 200 people was only 100, but the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain were still rushing up the mountain.

Unwilling to be captured, the Red Army soldiers gathered at the top of the mountain and made a difficult and tragic decision under the leadership of Tian.

When Tian gave the order, all the soldiers broke their guns and jumped off the cliff without hesitation. Hundreds of Red Army soldiers jumped off a cliff hundreds of meters high, and the slogan "Long live the Communist Party of China (CPC)" echoed in the air from time to time.

Trumpeter He Burong also jumped up with the bugle. At this time he was only 19 years old. Since then, all the 200 Red Army soldiers in charge of the mat have died heroically. None of them survived or were captured.

In order to protect the people and cause all the Red Army soldiers to die, the local people learned the truth and had a new understanding of the style of the * * * production party army. They know that the army of the Producer Party serves the people and will not harm any interests of the people.

Long Yun led more than 200 soldiers to successfully break through the trapped Niu Shan under the heroic struggle of the troops behind the pad. They went all the way south, looking for the trace of the Gongliu Army. However, when they ran out of ammunition and food, an accident appeared and their whereabouts were exposed.

When Long Yun and his party traveled to Guanbi Mountain in Cengong County, they met a local businessman. Hearing the rumors of the Kuomintang, he hurried down the mountain and reported the situation to the Kuomintang troops.

Before dawn the next day, Kuomintang troops launched an attack on our army. The Red Army, which lacked ammunition, could not completely resist the enemy's attack, and more than 200 people were almost wiped out. Only under the protection of his comrades, Long Yun rushed out of the encirclement.

Long Yun, who is alone, has only one belief in his heart, that is, to find a large army and join the army of any leader. Because of the serious injury and not eating for several days, he has collapsed.

Long Yun wanted to go down the mountain in the dark, but he was so hungry that he begged food from the local people. But as soon as he entered the room, the village guards led the militia, and Long Yun was unfortunately captured.

The Kuomintang tortured Long Yun, but he never revealed any information about the Red Army. But because of the traitor's betrayal, the Kuomintang learned that Long Yun was the commander of the Red Army.

Later, Long Yun was sent to He Jian, a warlord in Hunan. In the face of the enemy's carrot and stick, Long Yun remained as motionless as steel.

1936 In February, Long Yun died heroically after suffering from the enemy for more than a year, at the age of 32. The Red Army commander gave his young life for the China revolution.

On June 24th, 1934, 10, the Red Sixth Army successfully rushed out of the enemy's encirclement and joined forces with the Red Third Army in Yinjiang County, Guizhou Province. However, Ren is always worried because he can't wait for news from the 52nd Army.

Since then, the Central Committee has sent people to western Jiangxi, Guizhou for many times to find the whereabouts of the 52nd regiment, but nothing has been gained. The whereabouts of the 52nd Regiment also became a great mystery of our army in the Long March.

It was not until 200 1 70 years later that the truth of that year was restored after many investigations by Yang. In the investigation, Yang found that many local elderly people witnessed the fighting between the Red Army soldiers and the Kuomintang troops.

An old man recalled: "At that time, in order not to hurt us, the Red Army jumped down the mountain one by one, and we realized that we had been cheated by the Kuomintang." After that, tears appeared in the corner of the old man's eye.

After a long period of investigation and visit, Yang finally determined the whole process of the sacrifice of the 52 nd regiment, and Yang was extremely sad when he learned the truth. But fortunately, they actually found the descendants of trumpeter He Burong.

It turned out that after jumping off the cliff, He Burong was entangled in a branch at the waist of the mountain. After the enemy left, he endured severe pain and sneaked into the village below the mountain.

Chen witnessed the feats of the Red Army and understood that the Red Army was not a bad person. He took He Borong home to help him heal, and changed his name to Chen Shirong, claiming that he had come to defect to his distant relatives.

Since then, He Burong has remained anonymous here. He not only led the villagers to fight the landlords together in the later liberation war, but also became the director of the peasant association after the founding of New China.

Over the years, He Burong has often come to the place where his comrades died to pay homage, and his family has always kept the military number of that year. Chen Dechang, the son of He Burong, said excitedly: "My father told me that this bugle is the most important thing in his life. I must keep it well and give it to the country in the future."

Today, this bugle is displayed in the "Red Army Long March in Shiqian" exhibition hall in Shiqian County, Guizhou Province. It still shines with the glory of the past, just like the spirit of the Long March.
