Features: Crossing the Jialing River and capturing Jianmen Pass marked the beginning of the Long March of the Fourth Red Army. With a mighty force of 100,000, they advanced westward, breaking through formidable defenses and defeating strong enemies, advancing into the northwest of Sichuan. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, they successfully reunited with the central Red Army. However, due to Zhang Guotao's plot to seize power, the Red Army split, and the heroic Fourth Red Army embarked on an even more arduous and winding journey. For a year, they wandered through the remote snow-covered mountains and grasslands, with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers scattered along the way. Finally, they 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 river and march westward, engaging in fierce battles with the Ma family cavalry, composing a heroic and tragic song that moved heaven and earth and made ghosts weep.
