Putian Australia's Palace Revolutionary site

Putian Australia's Palace Revolutionary site

From the perspective of outsiders, the Australian handle palace may be built by an ordinary palace temple, sitting north to south, and five faces. The hall, main hall, left and right palace houses, patios, corridors, quaint and elegant. But in the red years, it is the command center of the Putian Red Army activities and the cradle of the Red Revolution. The Red Army 207 regiment led the Putian people to raise the banner of the revolution, setting off a vigorous peasant movement, and wrote a chapter of fighting and crying with blood and life spectrum. The historic Australian handle palace adds a bright red revolutionary background.

In March 1928, the Putian guerrillas, the first armed team in Central Fujian, were established in Australia. Chen Tianzhang served as the commander of the captain and Wang Yujie (Wu Mei). They moved in the Guangye Mountains, Changta Mountain District and the Border Mountains of Putian to form the Putian Guangye Rural Revolutionary Base. In August 1930, the Putian Plain, the coast, and the guerrilla teams across the mountains gathered the Australian handle palace, and the 207th regiment of the 23rd Army of the Red Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants was reorganized. They make full use of the danger of mountainous areas, carry out flexible and changeable guerrilla warfare, counterattack the Kuomintang reactionaries crazy "encirclement", expand the guerrilla area, and keep the red flag. The 207th regiment has launched an eight armed struggle for punishment of bullies and gangsters, greatly inspiring the people of central Fujian, and at the same time, it has also caused extreme panic from the Kuomintang local authorities. "For the sacrifice, you dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky." The revolutionaries struggled with blood, all of which used youthful life to compose a red praise of the mountains and rivers. The Red Army 207 regiment has a profound impact on the revolutionary struggle of Central and Putian, and has also burned the immortal revolutionary fire in the hearts of the Putian people.

On August 24, 1930, the Kuomintang soldiers besieged the Australian handle in three ways. At that time, due to the morning mist, the Red Army sentier discovered and shot alert when the enemy troops secretly approached the Australian handle bridge head. After hearing the gunfire, the head of the Huang Yan judged that the situation was serious, and he quickly gathered the team to resist. In order to preserve the power, Huang Yan decided that Chen Tianzhang led the team to break through from the back door of the Australian Palace, and he brought 6 soldiers to cover it, relying on the Biutou big banyan tree to fight bravely.

Because of the enemy and me, all the six soldiers were bravely sacrificed, and Huang Yan was captured under the banyan trees because of his spoil. In the face of the enemy, he would rather die.

In front of the Australian handle, two large banyan branches covering the sky are leafy. When the wind is scratched, the branches and leaves are rang, and the branches that are stretched everywhere are like the revolutionary fire of Liaoyuan, as if it is about the years of the ancestors.
