At the beginning of the 25,000-mile Long March, Zeng Shan failed to participate, and he was left behind in the Jiangxi Soviet District to lead the guerrilla war. Although the Long March was extremely arduous, the comrades who remained also faced the test of life and death at any time. At first, the Jiangxi guerrillas were divided into three regiments, and under the heavy pursuit of the enemy, only 27 people were left. The 27 men were divided into three combat groups, and in the end only zeng shan came out alive. When Mr. Chen saw Zeng Shan, who had escaped from death, he couldn't help but say excitedly, "Alas! Gay brother! Did you fall from the sky?
