Standing on the white horse mountain, I still can't connect the mountain with the white horse. The car hovers on the winding mountain road, and you can see many mountains and steep slopes, as well as cliffs and dangerous rocks. Trees on the roadside are lush, corn is strong and green, and birds fly by singing from time to time. The garage is on the road, which is really pleasing to the eye and relaxing.
I just think baimashan is a big mountain, a common mountain in southern mountainous areas. The mountains are undulating and overlapping, and it is clearly a beautiful mountain.
Looking at the cliff in Wang Xian, opposite the rolling mountains. My friend Wulong told me that the highest place in the mountain is fairy mountain, and there is a romantic love story between baimashan and fairy mountain. According to legend, Zhang Tianyang, a fairy in purple, is the ninth daughter of the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother asked her to manage the fairy garden in the sky. One day, the purple fairy went to play by the river and met Aojiefeng, the third prince of the East China Sea Dragon King. They fell in love at first sight. Later, they often meet and play in the garden of Xiancao. One day, Wang Zilong III turned white, carrying a fairy in purple and running wildly. Unexpectedly, he collided with the queen mother's Luanjia. In a rage, the Queen Mother knocked them down with a black gold ruler and drew a Wujiang River between the two mountains. They are separated by the banks of the Wujiang River and can't get together. Aochifeng stands on the edge of the cliff in Wang Xian and looks at Zhang Tianyang every day. Over time, it became baimashan and fairy mountain. Baimashan and fairy mountain got their names. At night, people nearby can always hear the singing of kicking on the cliff of baimashan. Legend has it that Bai overlooked the fairy mountain on the cliff and missed the fairy's beat, so he was called the cliff.
Most of China's love stories have sad endings, always "Where Are You Going?". Love is never perfect, which is why we expect perfect love.
At the foot of Wang Xian Cliff, the Wujiang River is embedded in the canyon, as jade and as quiet as a virgin. You can also vaguely see a road through the riverside forest, which is the former site of the ancient town of Yang Jiao. The ancient town of Yang Jiao has Wujiang Wuli Long Beach, with rugged rocks and dense reefs, which is called "the first dangerous beach in Wujiang River". Merchant ships have to unload their goods before they can go up and down the beach. Businessmen gathered by the sea and the traffic was busy, which was very popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. For a long time, boats used to be pulled on the beach by trackers, and then they were stirred by steel ropes, and then by electric stirring.
Yang Jiao Guzhen 20 17 has been moved to a ridge separated by a river because it is backed by a cliff and dangerous rocks often cause landslides. It's just some vague traces, but it also tells the story of a thousand-year-old town.
Looking at the former site of the once prosperous Yang Jiao ancient town at the foot of the mountain, memories of the past about the ancient town flooded into my mind with the wind.
1983 One morning in March, the morning wind blew through my face, and I still felt a little cold. I walked through the quiet street in the north of the street, took a passenger ship to Fuling at Chaotianmen Wharf, and then took a cargo ship to Pengshui County. This is a trip in spring and a trip of youth. For a beautiful wish and a beautiful yearning for love, a person went to a strange place. It was my first trip since 19. I'm going to take a bus when I come back from Pengshui, but the mountain is high and the road is long, and the journey is too hard. At the same time, in order to save money, my friend found an acquaintance and asked me to take a cargo ship back to Chongqing. Starting from Pengshui at 3 pm, it will be dark in Yang Jiao Town, and the cargo ship will dock on the riverbank of the ancient town of Yang Jiao. After dinner, I wandered alone in the street. I don't remember the appearance of the ancient town, but I remember that there was an open-air movie coming out that night, and many people were watching it with small benches. I also walked to a dam. There are so many people sitting on the court that they are almost full. At that time, outdoor movies were being shown in the countryside. After a busy day, many rural people were willing to walk for miles or even 10 to see them, as if they were happy for the holidays. Watching open-air movies was a rare and important cultural activity at that time.
This is my earliest memory of the ancient town of Yang Jiao. This time, I slept on a cargo ship by the river for one night. I didn't even know Yang Jiao's dried tofu was famous, and I didn't eat it that night.
Baimashan is building a tourist resort, and Baimaxian Street, Romantic Street, True Love Auditorium, Love Rubik's Cube, Tian Fei Suoqiao, Qintai Teahouse and Wild Luxury Teahouse in Tianchi Love Scenic Area have begun to take shape. Walking on the spacious and flat grass oil road, after the light rain, the refreshing mountain breeze in early summer is blowing, which is particularly comfortable and hearty.
Walking on the beautiful White Horse Mountain, I can't help but think of the Battle of the White Horse, and the historical scenes in the eventful years 73 years ago flashed in my mind.
1949 The general trend of the Kuomintang has gone. On September 29th, Chiang Kai-shek held a high-level military meeting in Chongqing to deploy the military plan of "ensuring the southwest and building Chongqing as its capital". Assemble a large number of troops and deploy four lines of defense in baimashan, namely, Wanjiagen, Fengling, Mainland Pass and Tea Garden, in preparation for a desperate battle. In June 65438 +065438+10, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping led the main force of the Second Field Army to move to Sichuan and Guizhou, which opened the prelude to understanding and expanding the southwest. Liu Deng's army joined forces with Xiushan, Youyang, Qianjiang and Pengshui to attack Wulong. The 47th Army 14 1 Division crossed the Wujiang River and quickly reached the baimashan defense line. At the same time, the Second Field Army's Third Corps 1 1 12 forces conquered the Jiangkou, liberated Wulong County, and arrived at the baimashan defense line at dawn on the 22nd.
The battle of the White Horse started at the same time when the sky was looking up and the wind was blowing. After fierce fighting, breaking through two gaps, the enemy fled in panic and destroyed the enemy's defense line blown by the wind. The People's Liberation Army attacked the enemy of Yecaoba from both sides and annihilated the enemy's defense. 2 1 night, the PLA occupied an important place in the middle of the night to ambush the troops. At dawn on the 22nd, the fighting started. The PLA ambushed on the mountain and charged together, breaking through the enemy's mainland defense. At the same time, the tea garden attack began. The enemy in Heimiao was clamped down by our army, and the enemy in Yanjiawuji was completely annihilated. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Kuomintang army in the tea garden desperately fled to the highway and was violently attacked by our army. Most of the enemies were captured. Eighty-nine cars loaded with officers and men of the enemy corps tried to escape along the road, and were hit by liberation military tires, and all the people on board were captured. The four lines of defense of the Kuomintang army were completely breached. The remnants of the Kuomintang army retreated to Baiguoping, Yuanjiacao, Baoya and other places for emergency protection. The main forces of our 3rd Corps 1 1 Army and 12 Army set out from Chepandong and marched along Shanxiang Highway to Baodi to encircle the remnants of the enemy. At dawn on the 23rd, the vanguard troops of the 47th Army 14 1 Division in the Fourth Field quickly occupied four hills behind the Baiguoping Road detachment. At dawn, the battle started, and the enemy was awakened by gunfire, making a mess and fleeing in the direction of Leopard Cliff. Our army pursued the victory and occupied the commanding heights behind Yuan Jiacao. The main force of the Third Corps of the Second Field Army quickly rushed to the position. One controlled Yuan Jiacao's left side, and the other passed under Maofengyan in Tianchiping, making a detour to intercept, forming a double attack and destroying the two regiments. Most of the enemy troops fled from the ravine, and our army repelled and reinforced them. At noon, Song Xilian led the remains to flee Nanchuan. In the afternoon, the Third Corps of the Second Field Army of the People's Liberation Army 1 1 and 12 pursued Nanchuan. At this point, the battle of Baima Mountain in Wulong ended successfully.
After the victory of the Battle of Baima Mountain, Liu Deng's army marched westward, liberated Fuling and Nanchuan successively, continued to March into the main city of Chongqing, and won fierce battles in Nanquan, finally liberating Chongqing.
This is a land of blood, this is a hot land where blood and fire have fought.
Every inch of land under our feet is exchanged for the blood of countless revolutionary heroes and the lives of revolutionary martyrs. We should cherish and love every inch of this land and love our motherland.
Since April every year, azaleas on Baima Mountain are in full bloom for the second time, and wild flowers are also in full bloom. The mountains and plains are full of flowers, reflecting the red color of baimashan, as if a red flag of victory was fluttering in the wind.
I think this bright azalea must be nourished and bloomed by the blood of our heroic PLA soldiers and the same bright red life.
