Features: In the winter of 1935, He Long, Ren Bishi, Guan Xiangying, Wang Zhen, and Gan Siqi, Li Da, and other Red Army commanders led 20,000 troops from the Red Second and Sixth Corps to bid farewell to Sangzhi, broke through the encirclement lines of 130 Nationalist army divisions, and headed south to Xiangnan. They swept across the entire province of Guizhou like a whirlwind, searching for a "beachhead." Without realizing it, the Long March had already begun. The experience of fighting alone added a touch of mystery and legend to the northern journey of the Red Second and Sixth Corps.
