Chapter 22 xuejiazhai

It used to be the base camp of the Shaanxi-Gansu Bianzhaojin Revolutionary Base. I still remember when I was in primary school, the peaks and cliffs cut like axes and axes left many complicated dreams and mysterious yearnings in my young heart.At that time, every Qingming Festival, the school would organize all teachers and students to come here to pay homage to the relics of heroes and pay homage to the tombs of martyrs.At that time, the school stipulated that under the guidance of guides and teachers, middle school students could climb up the majestic and steep stockade for on-the-spot investigation and pay tribute, but we elementary school students could only listen to the local soldiers and horses under the guidance of teachers. After the old Red Army grandfather told the story of reminiscence, he stood far away under the majestic cliff full of mystery, looking eagerly at the strands of green stretching across the 1,500-meter-high cliff. Forest with imagination.What is the stockade in this forest belt and what kind of mystery is it full of?A lot of question marks have been smoldering in my ignorant mind.

It's the first day of junior high school.I thought I could finally solve the mystery of my heart, not to mention how happy I was.I remember that in the Qingming Festival of this year, in addition to arranging a few old guerrillas to watch and explain for us, they also planned to hold a mourning meeting in front of the martyrs' tomb in Zhaizishang, and arranged for a representative of each grade to attend the ceremony. Speaking at the meeting, I was honored to be selected as the representative of the first grade of junior high school.I remember the day before the Qingming Festival, I was so excited that I fell asleep all night, thinking hard to write a speech.Now I only remember a few words describing the scene of mourning the martyrs: "The mountains here are very quiet, the trees are very quiet, there is no noise. There is only the sound of the wind blowing gently and people's weeping in memory of the martyrs..." Although it leads to the village on the top of the cliff There is only one steep and winding path, but my friends and I, in a great excitement, devoted ourselves to the arduous climb.Under the leadership of the guide, we passed through a dense forest overgrown with thorns; Standing strange rock.Or leaning against the rugged steep wall; or stepping on the sporadic "foot sockets" chiseled by the Red Army; or carefully supporting the "horse guard post" set up by the Red Army with both hands... .Sweating profusely and panting.After more than an hour of extremely difficult trek, we finally arrived at the verdant green forest belt of the city that we longed for.According to the guide, this is the entrance to Xuejiazhai.All the organs of the Xuejiazhai are naturally placed in the recesses of the bushy and very hidden peaks and cliffs of the same vein.Since then, we have seen the true face of Xuejiazhai.

Xuejiazhai has a total of five caves, four of which can be connected to each other.The cave is very spacious, the big one can accommodate two to three hundred people, and the small one can accommodate dozens of people.It was originally the place where Xue Gang raised his troops when he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty in the legend, and later it was the place where the locals Zhu Jixiang and his son worshiped God and practiced Taoism.The father and son of the family enshrined the statue of the mountain god in the most dangerous cave No. 4, and a wooden gold plaque was hung in the No. 3 cave.After the death of Zhu Jixiang's father, his son was very moved when he saw the Red Army attacking the rich and helping the poor with strict military discipline. He volunteered to dedicate the village cave to the Red Army as a camp, and he himself joined the Red Army guerrillas.In April 1933, the leadership of the Shaanxi-Gansu border party, government and army moved from Tuerliang to here.The mountains here are majestic, with abrupt peaks, cliffs on three sides, and thousands of stone peaks.It faces Xiufanggou in the west and faces Longjiazhai on the opposite side of the valley.Here, it is connected with the mountains and rivers of Tuerliang through a Qingxi River in Laoyaogou, which can lead to the hinterland of Qiaoshan Mountains. "One man is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand men are Moke", so it has naturally become the political, economic and military center of Zhaojin Su District.In order to consolidate this rear base, the border region government and the guerrillas repaired Xuejiazhai, and built a total of checkpoints such as the North sentry gate, Xiufanggou whistle gate, Dangjiashan and Ji'erxu.A large number of fortifications such as mines, rolling stone bases, trenches and secret passages were laid around the checkpoints, and sidewalks were built between the checkpoints.On the narrow road between the five caves lying on the cliff of Xuejiazhai, thick wooden piles are wedged, and the fences are tied between the wooden piles; or butterfly walls are built to ensure walking safety.At that time, in addition to the special committee of the border area, the Soviet government, and the general headquarters of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas; Xuejiazhai still had logistics units such as the Soviet area's repair shop, quilt factory, warehouse, transportation team, and Red Army hospital.In addition, Xuejiazhai also stores more than a hundred portable machine guns brought by Wang Taiji's uprising troops, and strategic materials such as cotton, cloth, and silver dollars captured by the Red Twenty-six Army and the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas.In addition, the local tyrants and evil gentry and captives captured in the past were also held here.According to the guide, the seal of Zhang De, Secretary of the KMT Party Committee of Xunyi County, which was seized when Zhanghong Town, the county seat of Xunyi County, was captured there was also preserved here....

The north post gate leads directly to the top of the village.The roof of Xuejiazhai is undulating and open, connected with Dangjia Mountain, Jierjia, Wuzi Mountain, Wunv Peak and other mountain ranges, and directly leads into the depth of Qiaoshan Mountain Range.Due to the needs of the revolutionary struggle, the Shaanxi-Gansu border Soviet government and the clothing factory and other logistics agencies also moved to Dangjiashan at the top of the village.The matching of Zhaiding and Zhaidong has effectively promoted the vigorous development of various undertakings in the base area.For several hours, we were intoxicated by the guide's comprehensive introduction to Xuejiazhai.Looking at the stone benches, earth pits, pots and stoves and the tainted dark cliffs used by the Red Army and guerrillas, the hard life of the Red Army and guerrillas in those days came to our minds leisurely.Caressing these relics of the Red Army with our hands, we seem to be able to feel the lingering warmth left by the fiery revolutionary enthusiasm of the revolutionaries...The guide said that due to the fortifications of Xuejiazhai, the enemy "encircled and suppressed" several times, but Xuejiazhai stood firm.impregnable.On October 15, 1933, as our main Red Army was transferred to the outer line, the enemy was led by Chen Kemin, a traitor who lured him into the enemy with a generous salary from a high-level executive. Climbing trees in the crevices with long stones to sneak up on the stronghold.Under the cover of fierce artillery fire from Sun Youren's Department of the 511th Regiment of the enemy, all the reactionary militia groups that participated in the attack on Xuejiazhai cooperated with all their strength. In the end, due to being outnumbered, Xuejiazhai fell temporarily.Li Miaozhai, commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas, and his guard Wu Gong, were also shot by the enemy's cold guns in a battle on September 21, 1933, and died at a place about 200 meters away from the North Post Gate. meters of birch trees.Back then, Qi Zhenhai’s family in Xiufanggou voluntarily donated two coffins. Yang Yucai, Feng Xia, Feng Lao, and Shuang Fukui buried the martyrs on the hillside of No. 1 Village with full of admiration and grief. , Li Miaozhai is on the left, martial arts is on the right....In front of this pile of tombs on the hillside of No. 1 Zhaizi, the pines and cypresses are solemn and the mountains and rivers are stagnant. The teachers and students of our middle school are standing quietly.Perhaps it was the edification of the indomitable revolutionary spirit of the Red Twenty-sixth Army, and I also changed my timidity in the past.At the meeting to commemorate the martyrs, I threw away the long-prepared formal speech, opened my heart, and made a heartfelt speech, expressing my sincere and infinite grief for the dead martyrs.On the way back, my companions and I vowed silently that we would inherit the will of the martyrs, turn grief into strength, carry forward the revolutionary spirit of hard work, cherish the hard-won happy life, study hard, make progress every day, and serve the motherland. Fanpu Fuqiang contributed his life energy.

Martyrs, rest in peace!The motherland and people will always remember you!
