Our Long March：The Third Crossing of the Chishui River

From March 16th to 17th, 1935, under the command of Mao Zedong and others, the Central Red Army crossed the Chishui River for the third time near Maotai Town in Guizhou Province. This action by the Red Army was a typical feint, with the main force deliberately appearing to be crossing the Yangtze River to the north, drawing the pursuing troops to the Gulin area in southern Sichuan Province. This move successfully mobilized the enemy forces, disrupted their encirclement and suppression plans, and laid a crucial foundation for the subsequent secret return of the main Red Army force and the unexpected victory of the Fourth Crossing of the Chishui River, once again demonstrating the Red Army's flexible and mobile strategic tactics.
