Speaking of Luding Bridge, I think everyone is familiar with it, right? For at that time, we, the soldiers of the Red Army, in the face of the enemy's frenzied encirclement and suppression operation, had to choose a difficult retreat, which is what we know as the Long March. The major historical event of the flying capture of the Luding Bridge occurred at this stage. It was precisely this incident that enabled our army to preserve its strength and develop in the War of Liberation and made great contributions to the country.
As we all know, at that time the enemy formed a huge encirclement of our Red Army. At that time, only luding bridge was the only road that had the opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Although there were heavy guards on the opposite side of the bridge, they did not blow up the Luding Bridge, but only removed the wooden planks on the bridge. That's why the next thing happens. At that time, why did the enemy only remove the wooden planks on the bridge and not directly blow up the bridge?
Some people think that the enemy at that time was too arrogant. They believed that without the bridge plate, the Red Army could not charge, but could only cross the bridge with difficulty, and at this time it was only necessary to aim at the Red Army on the opposite bank. However, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and what the enemy did not expect was that our Red Army soldiers could actually successfully break through. In fact, according to the analysis, the enemy did not blow up the bridge for the following reasons:
At that time, the garrison guarding the Luding Bridge received orders that one of their self-defense forces needed to cross the river before blowing up the bridge, and then blow up the bridge, so the enemy only demolished the planks. But what the enemy did not expect was that our Red Army quickly jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, arrived at the Luding Bridge, immediately began to counterattack, defeated the enemy on the opposite side of the bridge, and finally conquered the Luding Bridge and won the victory of this war.
