On July 4, 1930, the Fourth Red Army on the Hunan Hubei border met the Sixth Red Army in Honghu in Gong'an County, Hubei Province.On the 7th, according to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Joint Meeting of the Front Committee of the Fourth and Sixth Red Armies of the Communist Party of China renamed the Fourth Red Army the Second Red Army, and formed the Second Corps of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army with the Sixth Red Army. He Long was the commander in chief, with a total of more than 10000 people.In December, the troops arrived at Zhizheping, Changyang County, Hubei Province for rest.
In March 1931, according to the decision of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the Second Red Army was downsized into the Third Red Army, with He Long, the commander, Deng Zhongxia, the former secretary of the CPC Central Committee and political commissar, Sun Deqing, the chief of staff, and Liu Keming, the director of the Political Department.It has jurisdiction over the Seventh Division (formerly the Second Red Army), the Eighth Division (formerly the Sixth Red Army) and the First Teaching Division.At the beginning of April, the Red Army marched northward to conquer Badong, cross the Yangtze River and fight in northwest Hubei.During this period, the 49th Red Army Division was reorganized into the Second Red Army Teaching Division;The Honghu Soviet Independent Regiment was expanded to the Ninth Division of the Third Red Army.In the middle of September, the main force of the Third Red Army was transferred to the Honghu base area. Its teaching regiment and local guerrillas formed the 25th Red Army Division and insisted on the struggle in northwest Hubei.On the 28th, the main forces of the Third Red Army and the Ninth Red Division met in Jingmen, and Wan Tao took over as the former secretary and political member.In October, the Red Army returned to Honghu Qianjiang area.Before long, Xia Xi, secretary of the Central Bureau of Western Hunan and Hubei, was also a political member, Tang Chiying was the chief of staff, and Ai Yizhi was the director of the political department.At the same time, the division headquarters were abolished and the troops were organized into five regiments.In late December, according to the instructions of the Central Committee, the army was reorganized into the Seventh and Ninth Divisions and the Independent Regiment.Sun Keming was appointed Chief of Staff and Liu Keming was appointed Director of the Political Department.In January 1932, he was appointed as the chairman of the provincial military commission and the political commissar of the Red Army, and Lu Yi was appointed as the director of the political department.Subsequently, the Red Army moved to both sides of the Xianghe River to smash the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" of the Honghu Soviet Area, and achieved three major victories.During this period, the Independent Regiment of the Army and the Independent Regiment of Northwest Hubei were expanded into the Eighth Division, with a total of about 15000 troops.
In June, the Kuomintang army mobilized 100000 troops to launch the fourth "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Soviet area in western Hunan and Hubei.Due to the "Left" leadership mistakes, the Red Army, after three months of wandering, failed to smash the enemy's "encirclement and suppression", resulting in the loss of all Soviet areas.The Third Red Army was forced to move to the Hunan Hubei border, and its troops were reduced to 9000.In February 1933, the army was reorganized in Hefeng and the eighth division was abolished.Subsequently, due to the expansion of the "counter revolutionaries elimination", the dissolution of the Party and Youth League organizations, and the abolition of political organs, and other erroneous interference, the troops were sharply reduced to more than 3000.In May 1934, the Third Red Army entered Guizhou Province.In June, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) instructed to stop "counter revolutionaries", resume the party and league organizations, rebuild political organs and strengthen the army building.Since then, the Qiandong Independent Division has been established, creating the Qiandong Soviet Area.On October 24, the Third Red Army and the Sixth Red Army Corps met in Muhuang, Yinjiang County, Guizhou Province. So far, the Third Red Army has resumed the designation of the Second Red Army Corps. He Long was the head of the Corps and Ren Bi was the political commissar at that time, creating a revolutionary base in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou.[1]
