His rise was swift; he took command of an army corps at 22. Lin was a leader of the Long March of 1934-35, in which the Communist army escaped destruction in southern China at the hands of Chiang Kais-hek's Kuomintang forces by fighting its way more than 6,000 miles to the safety of the Yenan redoubts.
