The First Crossing of the Long March The "Yudu Red Army Bridge" (the 8th bridge over the Yudu River) is known as the "First Crossing of the Long March." In 1934, 86,000 main Red Army troops crossed the Yudu River at eight ferries to embark on the 25,000-li Long March于都县人民政府. With no bridges, locals built pontoons and ferries to transport the troops. After liberation, seven bridges (including Yuhe, Hanxin, Changzheng, and Sanmen) were built at the historic ferries, ending the ferry era for 870,000 locals于都县人民政府.
