In March 1935, the Fourth Red Army attempted to cross the Jialing River to reunite with the Central Red Army, but was blocked by Chiang Kai-shek’s 300,000-strong army. General Pan Tianxiong of the Sichuan Army outwardly obeyed orders to fight the Red Army but secretly aided their strategic retreat. Red Army instructor Yi Min inspired him with revolutionary ideals, igniting his resolve to resist the Japanese invasion. Despite Chiang Kai-shek’s conspiracies, Pan Tianxiong remained steadfast in his patriotic mission. In the Pinghan Line Battle, he fought the Japanese army to the death. Outnumbered and betrayed, he met his end, declaring, "The Sichuan Army dies in battle but never surrenders!"
