Eight of the Dadu River

New decision

On the morning of May 26, 1935, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Zhang Wentian and other central leaders arrived at Anshun Field, listened to the reports of Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen, and studied how to make the entire army cross the Dadu River as soon as possible. At that time, the one army and a division were crossing the river, and the ferry took a round trip. About one hour, it took about 1 month to make all tens of thousands of people cross the river. On May 26, he arrived at Lizhou north of Xichang. On May 27th, Liu Yuanzhang, commander of the Twenty -Four Army Chuankang Border Defense Forces, according to the order of Yue Yue. In addition to leaving a group of defenders, the main force chased the Lugu and Mian Ning. There were only a few days of the Red Army. At the same time, the 20th Army of Yang Sen's department was getting closer and closer. If the Central Red Army cannot quickly cross the Dadu River, it lasts for a long time, but it will not only achieve the strategic goal of meeting with the Red Fourth Army, but also the danger of being wiped out by the enemy.

The situation is extremely urgent. Based on this situation, Mao Zedong immediately decided that the Red Army would quickly capture the Luding Bridge. The specific deployment was: a cadre group of the one division and Chen Yan and Song Renqiu went to the opposite side of the Dadu River, led by Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen to form the Central Red Army's right column. (That is, the East Coast Troops), rushed to Luding Bridge from the east coast to the north. The West Bank troops) rushed to Luding Bridge from the west bank of the Dadu River.

On May 26, Chiang Kai -shek knew that the Red Army had attacked in Dashubao. Also moved to Chengdu, Liu Wenhui, the twenty -four army commander Liu Wenhui, also rushed to the Hanyuan to supervise the war on May 27. The fourth brigade of the department was desperate by the brigade commander Yuan Guorui to the Luding Bridge to increase the defense.

Yuan Bubu arrived in Longbaipu (now Xinglong Township, Luding County), and learned that the Red Army was divided into two roads on the left and right roads. The left Army crossed the river from the bridge; the eleventh regiment was led by the head of the regiment Yang Kaicheng to the east bank of the Dadu River and the red -headed red divisions on the back of the cold and cold. Flying on the east and west sides of the ridge, it is the preparatory team.

The Red Army learned the deployment of the enemy, knowing that the Red Army arrived at Luding Bridge early before the enemy operations, or just launched an offensive when the enemy's pioneers just arrived at Luding Bridge, and it was difficult to achieve the bridge. At least a lot of money must be paid. Therefore, the central government decided to run from the first army and four regiments to the Luding Bridge to quickly complete the task of winning the bridge. The marching sequence of the right column is: the Red Eri Regiment, the Red One Division, the Red Three Regiments, the Red One Regiment, and the Military Commission's cadre group. Red One Army Teaching Camp, Red Cultural Troupe and Red Erzhu Division Department, the Red One Corps Department of the Red Five Army (May 28), the Military Commission Column (May 28), the Red Third Legion (May 29), and the The Red Five Regiment (May 30) and the Red Kowloon Regiment (Around May 30), there were only five Sichuan Army in front of them.

In the early morning of May 27, the leading troops set off from Anshun under the leadership of the head of the regiment Wang Kaixiang and the political commissar Yang Chengwu. After two days and two nights, they walked 320 miles.
