On August 1, 1927, the Nanchang Uprising broke out, and ** participated as the commander-in-chief, and then, the troops were constantly surrounded and intercepted by the Kuomintang army in the process of evacuating Nanchang City and going south, and suffered heavy losses.
However, as early as 22 years ago, **and** had already interacted, and even almost worked together. In 1950, the Southwest Military Region was established, ** served as political commissar and ** as commander, and they became a good pair and were jointly responsible for the military of the great southwest.
The 20th Army led by *was scattered, and **planned to send ** and *** and others to study in the Soviet Union, but ** failed to go because of the low level of education.
He decided to return to the western Hunan and Hubei regions to reorganize the team. Before leaving, ** suggested that he mobilize the masses and build a workers' and peasants' revolutionary army for the party. **Received** the order, and in 1916 embarked on the road to joining the army.
He once served as a brigade commander, division commander, and army commander, and had high prestige in Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and other places. He called on the old troops to join him, and finally formed the Red Fourth Army on August 1, 1928, and served as its commander.
Although the number of the Red Fourth Army was smaller than that of the original 20th Army, it was still the spark of revolution and built up a contingent for the party.
In October, **in the capacity of **Secretary-General**, on behalf of **, sent a letter**, conveying the main spirit of the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and inviting **to** to do military work.
However, ** did not go because the Red Fourth Army led by ** had complex internal composition, ideological confusion, many people had a vague understanding of the revolution, did not understand the party's policies, and some even fled with guns.
Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in the rectification and education of the troops.
* The strong cohesion of the leadership team is mainly due to his high prestige. In order to lead this team, you can even sacrifice yourself without hesitation.
At that time, the living environment in western Hunan and Hubei was very difficult, not only armed with bandits, but also "encircled and suppressed" by regular Kuomintang troops. However, at this critical moment, **, as the core and leader of the troops, cannot leave for a moment.
Among the ten marshals of the republic, ** had a relatively low level of education, but with his courage and wisdom, he managed to lead the troops and eventually establish his own base.
At that time, Shanghai was a nationalized area, and the Communist Party was in a state of underground activities, and the task was very arduous. ** has an open-minded personality and dares to take risks, he does not go to Shanghai ** to work, but stays in the place, which is obviously the best choice.
Later, he served as the deputy prime minister and also presided over the daily work of the Military Commission, which showed his outstanding talents in the political and military fields.
