Zhu De's Shoulder Pole

1. In 1928, Comrade Zhu De led troops to Jinggang Mountain and joined the team led by Comrade Mao Zedong.

3. The Red Army needed to stock enough food to consolidate the base area of the Jinggang Mountain and smash the enemy's siege.

4. There was not much grain produced in Jinggang Mountain, so some soldiers were often sent down the mountain to carry back grain from Maoping in Ninggang.
