In March 1937, an unprecedented grand gathering was staged in Chenlu Town, Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province The Red Second Front Army held a party congress of unprecedented scale, which was also the largest gathering since the establishment of the Red Second Front Army.
At this congress, the committee of the Red Second Front was elected and left a precious family photo.
Now, let's get to know the outstanding people in this group photo.
First of all, standing on the right side of the front row is the leader of the Red Second Front Army, Marshal **.
From the Nanchang Uprising to the commander of the Red Second Army and then to the commander-in-chief of the Red Second Front Army, he has been unswerving and indomitable.
After the reorganization of the team after the breakup, the heroic Red Army was finally created.

In the group photo, he has the highest rank status.
Next, standing in the front row, second from the right, is Zhu Rui, director of the Political Department of the Red Second Front Army.
Although he looks a little like Xiao Jinguang, he is actually Zhu Rui.
Zhu Rui was originally a general of the ** Red Army and served as the director of the political department of the Red First Army.
Later, after the three Red Army divisions met in northern Shaanxi, Zhu Rui was transferred to the director of the Political Department of the Red Second Front Army.
Although according to the convention, the director of the political department is not the supreme leader of the front army, but because Zhu Rui was transferred from the Red Army, he has a higher status and stands next to him.
In the Northeast Battlefield, Zhu Rui was famous, he was the artillery commander of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and he was the father of our army's artillery.
** He was praised as China's artillery marshal, but unfortunately not long after the start of the Liaoshen Campaign, Zhu Rui unfortunately died on the front line at the age of 43.
The third from the right in the front row is Li Jingquan, the Red Second Army has 2 divisions, Li Jingquan is the political commissar of the Red Fourth Division, and he is also transferred from the **Red Army.

The political commissar of the Red Second Front Army was originally Ren Bishi, but after the three main forces of the Red Army joined forces in northern Shaanxi, Ren Bishi was transferred to the political commissar of the Red Army's former enemy headquarters and left the Red Second Front Army.
The Red Second Front Army ushered in the news that a new leader would take over, and Guan Xiangying would take over the post of Ren Bi.
Although Ren Bishi has passed away, his important leadership position in the Red Second Front Army will always be remembered.
Although he was unable to appear in the group photo, he specially rushed to attend the meeting of the Red Second Front.
Guan Xiangying was an important partner of **, and was sent to the western Soviet region of Hunan-Hubei early on, and led the struggle in the base area together with **.
However, in 1946, Guan Xiangying died of a serious lung disease at the age of 44.
In the group photo, the one standing on the right in the front row, who is not tall but looks majestic, is the first fierce general under the command of ** He Bingyan, and he is also an old subordinate who has been following **, serving as the commander of the Red Sixth Division in the Red Second Army.

The next thing we see is the leader in the back row, the first one on the left is Zhang Ziyi, who was the director of the political department of the Red Sixth Army at that time.
Zhang Ziyi did not have a military rank, but served as the deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In 1981, before his death, Zhang Ziyi paid all the 20,000 yuan salary paid to him by the organization.
The second from the left is Liu Yaqiu, who was the head of the organization of the Red Second Front Army at that time, and was originally a cadre of the Red Sixth Army.
Liu Yaqiu and Liu Yalou's names are only one word apart, but they have nothing to do with each other, and they are definitely not brothers.
Liu Yaqiu has no military rank and served in Hunan for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The third from the left is Liao Hansheng, who served as the political commissar of the Red Sixth Division at that time, was He Bingyan's partner, and was also an old subordinate of **.

Many brave generals emerged in the Red Second Front, and several of them failed to witness the establishment of New China.
* was revered as a marshal, while **, He Bingyan, Gan Siqi, and Chen Bojun were revered as founding generals, and Liao Hansheng and Zhu Ming were founding lieutenant generals.
Although the smoke of war has long since dissipated with the wind, under the sunshine of peace today, we still deeply miss these respectable and lovely old Red Army soldiers.
