The 25th Red Army set out from Hejiachong in November 1934 and became the first Long March contingent to reach northern Shaanxi.
Translated paragraph context
In November 1934, more than 2,980 officers and soldiers of the 25th Red Army set out from Hejiachong in Luoshan, Henan, carrying the banner of the Second Advance Detachment Marching North to Resist Japanese Aggression. From the Dabie Mountains to the Funiu Mountains, the Red Army fought numerous battles, including the Battle of Dushu Town, the forced crossing of the Li River and the Muzhaling ambush. Finally, it broke through the encirclement from Lushi in Sanmenxia and advanced into Shaanxi. Unafraid of powerful enemies and fighting bloody battles, this young force became the first Long March contingent to reach northern Shaanxi.Original Chinese quote
