Chapter 21 longjiazhai

Walking along Zhangjinglaoya, passing through Dayazi and Xiaoyazi villages, after traveling for seven or eight miles, you will be blocked by a deep ditch that runs across the north and south abruptly.This deep ditch is the beautiful Xiufanggou.Standing on a steep and steep rock cliff to the east of the ditch, Xuejiazhai stands in it.The peaks and ridges located in the west of the ditch are facing Xuejiazhai, and Longjiazhai is hidden in it. There are two caves in Longjiazhai, one is located under the dressing table of Eighth Sister Yang in the west of Xiufanggou, and the other is located under the stone pillars piercing into the sky on the west side of the peaks and ridges facing the No. 3 village cave of Xuejiazhai.The former is slightly smaller, and it is difficult to see the shape of the village when looking up. There is a clear stream with transparent veins inside, which can accommodate 40 to 50 people.The latter is slightly larger. This village cave is hidden in a looming Songpa and can accommodate more than a hundred people.The two village caves are two or three miles apart, connected by a small path.Longjiazhai consists of two villages.There is only one winding path, and the entrance is in the south of Xiaoyazi, at the entrance of Xiufanggou.Longjiazhai stretches into the Qiaoshan mountain range. The village is majestic and dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The back of the whole stockade is connected with Tuerliang, and it is hidden in the lush jungle in the west of Xiufanggou. It is steep and deep, and has good concealment.

On February 22, 1932, Liu Zhidan and Xie Zichang led the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to Zhaojin.Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Yanning's reactionary militia playing social fire, having fun on Zhaojin Street, beating gongs and drums, he led all the team members to attack quickly and surrounded and disarmed the reactionary militia.Xiang Quncong publicized that "the Red Army is the team of the Communist Party" and "the Red Army works for the poor", and called on everyone to "strike the local tyrants and divide the land".On September 12, 1933, the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army defeated Zhaojin's first "encirclement and suppression" campaign by the Futongyao three-county security regiment in Zhaojin, and killed the deputy commander-in-chief Dang Xie Fang on the spot. Ma Xizhe, the head of the Yaoxian Security Regiment, and Zi Zifa, the head of the Xiaoqiu District Regiment, were captured alive, establishing a high prestige among the masses.Although the Red Army has strict military discipline, there are also scum among the guerrillas.The rebels Chen Kemin and Wang Zixiang saw that Longjiazhai was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they defected and occupied the mountain as king, making enemies of the people and the Red Army.In November 1932, Chen Kemin, Wang Zixiang and other gangsters rushed to Chunhua to rob.The Red Army guerrillas used Zhang Xiushan, a special commissioner of the provincial party committee who was held hostage by Chen Kemin and Wang Ziyang, as an internal response.Under the leadership of Xie Zichang, Yan Hongyan, and He Yaohua, they liberated the Longjiazhai with a fierce offensive and destroyed the ovaries of these gangsters.The liberation of Longjiazhai this time not only educated and won over the nearby masses, but also removed a major obstacle for the next step to open up the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base.When the enemy later surrounded Shangxiayuyuan Village, due to the serious harm of Du Heng's "Left" adventurism, our Red Army and guerrillas were in a very dangerous situation.At this time, Shuang Miaozhai commanded the guerrillas to take advantage of the hidden function of the two caves in Longjiazhai to transfer and rescue many wounded Red Army soldiers, and effectively supported the Red Twenty-sixth Army in various battles, as well as the soldiers and civilians in the base area. At the same time, it shattered another "encirclement and suppression" of the three regular regiments mobilized by the Kuomintang against the gold revolutionary base area.At that time, the Red Army set up a withdrawal station and a clothing factory in Longjiazhai, which was the general rear of the Red Army at that time.

In March and April of 1933, when the Red Army and the base camp of the border area moved to Xuejiazhai, with the victory of the struggle against "encirclement and suppression", various undertakings in the Zhaojin Soviet Area showed a good situation of consolidation and development.Peasant associations and women's associations were widely established, as were peasant guerrillas, with as many as 23 detachments. The broad masses actively organized to build and defend the Soviet area, and the revolutionary upsurge was unprecedentedly high.At this time, some speculative rebels saw the rapid development of the Soviet area, and looked for opportunities to pro-speculative revolution.After the self-military government broke the Longjiazhai.Opportunists Chen Kemin and Wang Zixiang had internal strife. Chen Kemin took the opportunity to drive Wang Zixiang away, and deceived the trust of the guerrilla commander Li Miaozhai, and was incorporated into the third guerrilla detachment to garrison Longjiazhai.For a period of time, Longjiazhai and Xuejiazhai cooperated to defeat the reactionary militia's repeated attacks on Xiufanggou and Zhaojin revolutionary base areas.

September 1933.A regular regiment of the Kuomintang, together with militia regiments from four counties, launched a frenzied "encirclement and suppression" campaign against our base area.The main force of the 26th Red Army transferred to the outer line of Xunyi, and the revolutionary situation in the base area was at a low ebb. Especially on September 21, when the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas, Li Miaozhai, died, the situation became even more severe.Chen Kemin, a bandit-like opportunist, couldn't withstand the lure of Lei Tianyi, head of the Yaoxian militia regiment, with high-ranking officials and rich salary and beauty tricks, and once again betrayed the revolution and returned to his old business.Once again, Longjiazhai was reduced to a frenzied "encirclement and suppression" by the reactionary militia and the Kuomintang army to our base area.Among them, Sun Youren's special agent group and militia groups in Sanyuan, Chunhua, Xunyi, Tongguan, Yaoxian, and Yijun counties branched out and directly attacked Zhaojinsu District.While building roads, the enemy transported cannons to Longjiazhai and Tuerliang.The traitor Chen Kemin and the counter-revolutionary leader Zhang Yanning's two militia groups also mobilized and led Sun Youren's regiment to set up camp in Zhaojin Gutan and Xiufanggou, preparing to encircle our base area for a long time.On October 13, 1933, the enemy bombarded Xuejiazhai with intensive artillery fire and fired a large number of shells.With the support of artillery fire, we tried to climb the mountain several times, but our army used the natural moat of Xuejiazhai.Working together and fighting bravely, the battle lasted for five or six days.The enemy could not succeed.Our guerrillas became more courageous as they fought, and the stronghold remained unmoved.Seeing that a strong attack was not enough, the enemy switched to sneak attack tactics.On the edge of the hanging rock between the Shimen fortification of our army and Houxian, there is a stone crevice about 200 times long on the cliff, and small pines and cypresses grow in the crevice.Because the cliff here is abrupt and upright, our army set up a visit at the end, and the enemy could see it very clearly from the ditch of Longjiazhai.So, under the leadership of Chen Kemin, the habitual bandit of Longjiazhai, more than 100 enemies climbed the tree from the rocks to the village. Under the cover of artillery fire, they quietly climbed to the front of the village and spread out their ambush.In the early morning, the enemy launched a charge. As our defenders were outnumbered, Xuejiazhai fell.

About 20 days after the fall of Xuejiazhai, our army took advantage of the special identities of the squad leader and platoon leader Cao Hongyan and Zhu Zijie of the Red Twenty-six Army who had "worshiped" friends with Chen Kemin.Sneak into Longjiazhai and get in touch with the wounded Gui Shengfang and others who were detained in Longjiazhai.Tell them to act according to the camera as an internal response.Comrade Liu Zhidan also personally wrote a letter to the detained Comrade Gui Shengfang, instructing them to do a good job of instigating rebellion and liaising with the enemy, and using a grocery store in Zhaojin Town as a contact point, they often kept in touch with the Red Army.On New Year's Eve in 1933, Li Xingyu, the captain of the enemy squadron stationed at Xuejiazhai, secretly revolted.On the third night, when the bandit leader Chen Kemin led three cronies to Miaowan militia to celebrate the New Year, Li Xingcheng's squadron attacked Longjiazhai.After instigating rebellion and persuading the enemy, my detainees cooperated internally and externally, and once again conquered Longjiazhai, completely destroying the reactionary armed forces led by Chen Kemin.Chen Kemin never dared to return to Zhaojin after hearing the news, and Longjiazhai finally returned to the embrace of the people.As a result, the Zhaojin area gradually became an area controlled by our Red Army, laying a very good foundation for the establishment and further development of the third guerrilla area thereafter.

Today's Longjiazhai has shed the vicissitudes left by the years and wars, and is hidden in patches of verdant green waves.It faces Xuejiazhai across the ditch, and the cave is filled with the pungent smell of cow dung as time goes by...With its former glory, Xuejiazhai gradually became crowded with people.However, Longjiazhai is rarely mentioned by people because of its own misfortune.Only the bullet marks left on the walls of the village and the relics of life in the caves quietly tell people about everything that has passed away...As the years go by, the monument will last forever.Longjiazhai and all the stories that happened there will remain in people's hearts forever.
