Four crossings, one river: The military miracle of the Long March #china https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/68d5fc50-eb33-4cb2-b46d-d3152f59eeca As China marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, CGTN's Mi Sutong retraces the route of the Four Crossings of the Chishui River across the country's southwest Sichuan and Guizhou provinces. In 1935, some 30,000 Red Army troops faced a much larger Kuomintang force, estimated at 400,000. Why did they cross the same river four times? From Tucheng and Taipingdu to Maotai and Erlangtan, Mi follows the historic route to explore the strategy behind the maneuver and how a weak force outmaneuvered a much stronger one. Along the way, she meets local history guide Zhu Ruisheng and Red Army descendant Hu Jinghua, who share family memories and traditional river songs that keep stories of the Long March alive. #longmarch #longmarch90 #china #redarmy #fourcrossings #crossing #guizhou #sichuan #army #solider #maozedong 00:00 Opening | Four Crossings, One River 00:24 Erlangtan | Why Cross the Same River Four Times? 01:00 Tucheng | Building a Pontoon Bridge 01:40 Taipingdu | Stories from the River 02:25 Hu Jinghua | A Family Story of the Long March 03:20 Zhu Ruisheng | Memories of the Red Army 03:50 Maotai | The Third Crossing 04:25 The Military Puzzle | Deception and the Fourth Crossing 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-10-05/Four-crossings-one-river-The-military-miracle-of-the-Long-March-1QZSn6xCuzK/p.html Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:59:42 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube Four crossings, one river: The military miracle of the Long March #china https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/68d5fc50-eb33-4cb2-b46d-d3152f59eeca All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
