Features: Crossing the Jialing River, capturing Jiange Pass, marking the beginning of the Long March of the Fourth Red Army. With an army of 80,000, they broke through formidable defenses, defeated strong enemies, and advanced into the northwestern part of Sichuan, finally uniting with the Central Red Army at the foot of the snow-capped mountains in a triumphant manner. However, due to Zhang Guotao's conspiracy to seize power, the Red Army split, and the heroic Fourth Red Army embarked on an even more arduous and winding journey. Wandering through the uninhabited snow-covered grasslands for over a year, the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers was spilled on the journey. They ultimately overcame the three major enemies—harsh environments, reactionary armed forces, and incorrect lines—to achieve the great victory of the Long March. Later, the Western Route Army was ordered to cross the Hexi Corridor westward and fought a bloody battle against the Ma family cavalry, composing a heroic and tragic song that moved heaven and earth and made ghosts weep.
