Ode to Yan'an

In October 1935, the Red Army, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, successfully concluded its 25,000-mile Long March and reached northern Shaanxi. Chiang Kai-shek obstructed in every possible way, and wanted to freeze and starve the Red Army to death in northern Shaanxi with the policy of one trap, two suppression, and three annihilation. The Red Army fired shots at Zhiluo Town at dawn on the 21st. Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, they annihilated all the enemy forces led by Niu Yuanfeng on the 23rd. The battle of Zhiluo Town was a complete victory. The victory in the Battle of Zhiluo Town not only shattered the enemy's third "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area, but also held a foundation laying ceremony for the Party Central Committee to place the national revolutionary base camp in the northwest.
