This brave young man, without consulting his parents, made his own decision, put on a military uniform that didn't fit well, and joined the Red Army. Knowing a little Tibetan, he became one of the first Tibetan soldiers of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army and one of the first Tibetan party member of the Chinese Production Party.
Before crossing the grassland, Sangji Yuexi was a "potherb propagandist" in addition to feeding the Red Army, fighting local tyrants and distributing fields. He often holds all kinds of wild vegetables and hints everywhere: this can be eaten and that can't be eaten.
Sometimes, he works as a translator and a tour guide. But he only knows a little Chinese. In fact, he has to ask others to help him translate. He has never traveled far before, and he is not familiar with the road, so he can't be a guide. He just followed the old comrades.
Many years later, he told his daughter Tian Bo about the hardships of the grassland: a large group of people marched at night, and he was often in a state of lack of sleep. As he walked, he pulled the belt of his comrades in front, and the people behind him also pulled his ... a group of people staggered. But this vast grassland, he and his comrades just measured it with two legs.
On the way, Sanchi Yuexi also tried to write Chinese characters on his backpack. The people in the back watched him study, while he watched the students in front. "He began to learn Chinese on the way to the Long March." During the break, he had to take an exam, and if he didn't do well, he would be criticized.
It was not until 1937 after the victory of the Long March that Sangji Yuexi had a Chinese name-Tianbao. Chairman Mao gave it to him.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it established the Central Party School in Dingbian County, and set up special minority classes in the Party School, most of which were Yi, Tibetan and Qiang comrades who passed the Long March. Sang was appointed monitor.
According to records, at that time, Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other central leaders often came to the party school to give lectures. Most of the comrades in minority classes have low literacy rates, and many people can't even speak Chinese, so the school specially gives them a "small stove" to find students with high literacy rates to give them counseling.
On one occasion, Chairman Mao asked Sanchi Yuexi's name after class. After getting the answer, the chairman asked, "What does Shan Zhi mean by western Guangdong? I heard that Tibetan names are very particular. " Sanchi Yuexi explained: "Sanchi" means Buddha, and "Yuexi" means baby. The chairman was in a good mood, thought for a moment and said, "I went to your hometown during the Long March, where Tibetans contributed to the victory of the Long March. There is an old saying in the Han nationality that things are rare, which is similar to your' Shan Zhi'. I'll name you Tianbao! "
The name "Tianbao" spread in the Central Party School and Yan 'an. 194 1 year, the Japanese invaders continued to "mop up" the anti-Japanese base areas in Langya Mountain area of Yixian County, Hebei Province, resulting in many terrible tragedies such as Tiangang and Dongloushan, in an attempt to "nibble" our anti-Japanese base areas with the brutal "three light" policy.
On September 23rd, the Japanese army marched into Yixian in three ways in an attempt to surround the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region under the command of Commander Yang Chengwu.
On 24th, 3,500 Japanese puppet troops suddenly surrounded the Langya Mountain area, surrounded the guerrillas in Qiu Weituan, Yixian, Dingxing, Xu Shui, Mancheng and other counties and more than 2,000 people around them. The situation is very serious.
Colonel Qiu Wei quickly reported the situation to Commander Yang Chengwu. In order to rescue the guerrillas and local people, Commander Yang Chengwu made a battle plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and ordered the 3rd and 20th regiments to pretend to attack the Japanese troops in the critical juncture, Songshan and Ganhe areas, prompting the Japanese troops to deploy reinforcements from the northeast of Langya Mountain, so as to facilitate the besieged guerrillas and people to break through from the northeast of Langya Mountain.
According to this battle plan, Colonel Qiu Wei handed over the task of covering the transfer of troops to the 7th company.
At midnight, Colonel Qiu Wei commanded the troops and local people to move safely from Pantuo Road to Tiangang, Niugang and Songgang. Early in the morning, the Japanese puppet troops mistakenly thought that the Qiu Wei regiment had been surrounded. Under the cover of planes and artillery, the puppet troops violently attacked Langya Mountain for more than 500 days.
The 7 th company soldiers had already laid mines on the enemy's only road, leaving more than 50 bodies behind for the Japanese puppet troops to flee in haste. Convinced that Qiu Wei's regiment was surrounded, the Japanese commander ordered his troops to attack Langya Mountain again. In the fierce battle, most of the 7 th company soldiers died, and the company commander Liu Fushan was seriously injured and his life was dying. Instructor Cai ordered the class to stay and stick to it, so that the wounded soldiers of the big army and the seventh company could be safely transferred. In order to stall and attract the Japanese puppet troops, Ma Baoyu led Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi and other five soldiers to retreat in the direction of Qipaituo while fighting, which led the Japanese puppet troops to a dead end. When they retreated above the chessboard, all the bullets had been exhausted, so they raised stones and threw them at the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese puppet troops found that there were no bullets, and rushed to the top of the mountain, shouting "Take them alive, take them alive!"
Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai would rather die than surrender. In order to prevent the Japanese puppet troops from seizing their weapons and falling into their hands, they smashed their guns and shouted, "Down with Japanese imperialism!" " "Long live the China * * * production party!" Wait for the slogan to jump off the cliff. Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai died heroically, but Ge Zhenlin, the vice squad leader, and Song Xueyi, the soldier, were caught by the branches on the cliff and survived.
