Chapter 19 Chapter 18 Continuing the Armed Struggle on the Border

After the fall of Jinggangshan, the enemy implemented a combination of soft and hard methods against the base area: on the one hand, it implemented the "three alls" policy and brutally killed Communist Party members and revolutionary cadres; In a white terror. After the fall of the base area, the border special committee rushed out of the enemy's encirclement and stayed at the border of Suichuan.Due to the strength of the enemy in Suichuan, the Suichuan party organization was destroyed, and the border special committee could not communicate with party organizations in various places, and temporarily lost its effect.

At this time, the party organizations in border counties were also damaged to varying degrees.Except for Yongxin County, which was well preserved, Ninggang, Lianhua, Lingxian, and Chaling all lost a lot, and only one secretary and a few grassroots branches remained in Suichuan. At the same time, most of the government organizations at all levels were also dispersed by the enemy.The landlords and gentry counterattacked the peasants one after another and took back the land. "The areas where Soviets and secret organizations still exist are the Xiaoxijiang District in Yongxin, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Districts and the Northwest Special Zone, and the Southeast Special Zone and the First, Second, and Fourth Districts of Ningkang."

The armed forces on the border also suffered certain losses.Among them, the Suichuan County Red Guards and Lingxian Red Guards broke through with the Fifth Red Army, but the Suichuan Red Guards were scattered by the enemy on the way. Only part of the Lingxian Red Guards returned to Ling County, and some went to Zixing Twelve Caves.Fortunately, the local armed forces in Yongxin, Ninggang, Lianhua, and Chaling counties suffered no losses. Together with Wang Zuobu, they persisted in carrying out guerrilla struggles against the enemy in the deep mountains and dense forests. In this severe situation, whether the party can play a role is the key to all work on the border. In February 1929, in order to resume border work, Wan Xi, a member of the special border committee and inspector of the special committee, first came to Jiulong Mountain, summoned the party leaders of Ninggang, Chaling, and Yongxin counties, and held a joint meeting of the three counties.The meeting established the CPC Hunan-Jiangxi Border Temporary Special Committee, with Liu Zhen, Wan Xixian, and Zhu Changkai as the standing committee members and Zhu Changkai as the secretary, to unify the leadership of the border struggle and containment and arrangement work.

On March 11, Chen Zhengren, the former deputy secretary of the special committee, went through many hardships and came to Yongxin from Suichuan, where he joined Wan Xixian and Zhu Changkai.Therefore, on the 13th, a meeting of the Standing Committee of the official special committee (that is, the special committee with Deng Qianyuan as the secretary) was convened in Yongxin, and it was decided to convene an enlarged meeting of the border special committee in Yongxin on March 14. On March 14, the enlarged meeting of the Border Special Committee was held in Yongxin.The meeting analyzed the border situation and struggle strategy, and decided: In order to adapt to the situation, the official special committee produced in December 1928 and the temporary special committee produced by the three-county joint meeting in February 1929 were cancelled, and a new temporary special committee was established.The new temporary special committee consists of Zhu Changkai, He Changgong, Wan Xixian, Liu Zhen, and Chen Zhengren as the Standing Committee, Liu Zongyi, Wang Huai, Long Chaoqing, and Tan Sicong as alternate Standing Committee members, and Zhu Changxi as the secretary.The new interim special committee believes that the most important work at present is to improve, reorganize and expand the party organizations in various places, actively and deeply publicize and mobilize the masses, launch daily political and economic struggles, and convene the third party meeting of the border party at an appropriate time. The Congress welcomes the arrival of a new revolutionary upsurge.

Under the leadership of the new temporary special committee, most of the party organizations in Yongxin, Chaling, and Ningkang counties on the border quickly became healthy and carried out normal activities and struggles.During this period, the special committee communicated with the Lianhua and Suichuan party organizations. "There are no more than 3,000 party members in the border area. Nineteen of the party members are farmers, and there are very few workers. The temporary special committee is now starting to register." After the establishment of the temporary special committee, according to the remote location of the border, the inconvenient transportation, and the severance of contact with the higher-level party organization, it quickly started the liaison work with the higher-level party organization. On March 17, the temporary special committee wrote a comprehensive report to the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Central Committee and the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. He made a detailed report on nine issues including the situation of the Party in the border counties, the situation of the Soviet Red Guards, and the current work of the temporary special committee.

Under the leadership of the Interim Special Committee on the Border, various tasks on the border have shown signs of vitality. In March and April of 1929, the Jianggui War broke out.As the warlords were busy with internal strife, the regular troops stationed on the border withdrew one after another, leaving only one regular regiment in Yongxin County.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the temporary border special committee immediately decided to combine the First Brigade led by Li Can of the Fifth Red Army, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuobu with armed forces drawn from Yongxin, Ninggang, Lianhua, and Chaling counties to form the Hunan-Jiangxi Army The First Independent Regiment of the Border Red Army has two battalions under its jurisdiction.The first battalion is Yuan Wang's troops, with 3 companies under it, and Wang Zuo is the battalion commander; the second battalion is composed of the Red Guards of each county and the first brigade of Li Can of the Fifth Red Army. It is organized into two companies, and Li Can is the battalion commander. .The two battalions have a total of more than 400 guns.

After the establishment of the First Independent Regiment of the Border Red Army, under the leadership of the Border Party, it launched a heroic counterattack against the Kuomintang reactionaries and landlords and gentry.The first battalion took Wujing and Xiaowujing as the guerrilla center, and went to Suichuan, Lingxian, and Ningkang; the second battalion took Jiulongshan as the guerrilla center, and went to Yongxin, Ningkang, and Chaling counties.During the guerrilla activities, "defeated the enemies of Ningkang, Longshi, and Gucheng, seized the guns of the door-to-door regiment in Chaling and Shangzhuang, smashed up the security teams in Longtian and Lujiang in Yongxin, and opened up work in many places. Made extensive propaganda against exorbitant taxes and taxes, and suppressed the brutal oppression and exploitation of peasants by landlords and landlords everywhere."

The guerrilla struggle activities of the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army caused panic among the gentry on the border.At the time when the Jianggui War broke out and the regular troops began to withdraw, they hurriedly put together a so-called "tea, Yong, Ling, and Ning four counties joint defense" organization at the end of April to "suppress" Jiulong Mountain.As a result, they were completely defeated by the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army, and the Ninggang Jingwei was almost completely wiped out.The Independent First Regiment captured more than 20 enemy guns and captured more than 10 people, which effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the gentry.

After the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army broke the joint defense of the four counties, it regained the separatist areas of Ninggang and Lianhua counties, and border work began to resume.By May 1929, the party organizations in border counties had been restored and improved successively, and a new leading organization had emerged, including: Yongxin County Party Committee (with Zhu Changxi as Secretary); Lianhua County Party Committee (with Xu Baiyi as Secretary); Ling County Temporary County Party Committee (with Zhou Li Secretary); Suichuan Provisional County Committee (Wang Zuonong as secretary); Chaling Special District Committee (Wan Xixian as secretary);

In addition, the Xiaojiang District, Pomei, Tianlongshan, Suiyuan and other places in Yongxin, the Three and Nine Baos in Ninggang, the Big and Small Five Wells, Xiaoyashan and other places all had open Soviet political organizations; There are also secret Soviet organizations in most areas of China; Lianhua, Suichuan, Chaling, and Lingxian all have openly separated areas. At the same time, the local armed forces in various counties have also been restored and expanded one after another.In addition to the armed forces incorporated into the First Independent Regiment of the Red Army, all counties have Red Guards with 440 guns.Among them: 200 branches in Yongxin, more than 100 branches in Lianhua, about 50 branches in Ninggang, 30 branches in Lingxian County, 20 branches in Chaling, and 5 branches in Suichuan.

A new situation emerged in the armed separatist regime in the Jinggangshan base area. When the border separatism was restored, Liu Renkan, secretary of the Lianhua County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, was unfortunately arrested because of a traitor's informant. On May 2, 1929, Li Chengyin, a noble gentry in Lianhua County and leader of the Jingwei Regiment, took Liu Renkan to Dazhou, the south gate of the county seat, for interrogation. Liu Renkan was unyielding, kept his mouth shut, and seized the opportunity to publicize the Communist Party's ideas to the masses and expose the KMT's crimes.Li Chengyin ordered the Jingwei thugs to cut off Liu Renkan's tongue.Liu Renkan couldn't speak anymore, so he dipped his toes in his own blood, wrote "Long Live the Revolution" on the ground, and finally died a heroic death. In mid-April 1929, under the leadership of Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan, the Fifth Red Army returned to the border after nearly 20 days of fighting all the way under the order of the former committee. "Stayed in Ciping for one night and met with Wang Zuo." Peng Dehuai "allocated two thousand silver dollars to help the common people" from the Five Armies.The men, women and children of Ciping and Wujing, big and small, were allotted two silver dollars each. On May 2, the Red Army arrived at Maoping, Ninggang, and met with Li Can, He Changgong and others. The return of the Red Five Army has increased the strength of the border.The people in the Jinggangshan base area swept away the haze of the three "suppression meetings" and once again aroused their confidence in victory.However, the return of the Fifth Red Army also attracted the attention of the Jiangxi enemy, that is, two regiments quickly moved out from Yongxin and went deep into Ningkang, our central area, in an attempt to attack the Fifth Red Army. In order to cooperate with the Fifth Red Army to jointly shoulder the important task of restoring the entire border regime, discuss and study the letter from the Red Fifth Army entrusted by the former Committee to introduce Donggu’s experience to the Border Special Committee on April 13, Xia Chibing, an inspector of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee 3 On March 24, Pingjiang gave the opinions of the comrades in charge of the Border Special Committee and the resolution of the "Sixth National Congress". The Border Special Committee "felt the need for political rearrangement." Convened the fourth executive committee of the special committee to rearrange future tasks and work. The fourth executive committee of the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee was held in the ancient city of Ninggang on May 10, 1929.Attending the meeting were members of the special committee and heads of party organizations in various counties Zhu Changxi, Wan Xixian, Liu Zhen, Long Chaoqing, Chen Zhengren, Wang Huai, Tan Sicong, etc. Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan, leaders of the Fifth Red Army also attended the meeting.The meeting was presided over by Deng Qianyuan, Secretary of the Special Committee. This was an extremely important meeting in the late struggle in the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base.The meeting comprehensively analyzed the political, military and land issues of the border and the work of the Special Committee itself.According to the work experience in the Donggu base area introduced in the letter from the former committee, and in view of the lessons learned from the working methods in the frontier section of the border, it was proposed that "the guiding organs of the border party should be transferred from the mountains to the plains and vast lands (cities or villages for the masses) and from the There are two necessary conditions for the transition from a public form to a secret state".At the same time, in view of the fact that many members of the Executive Committee of the Special Committee were not on the border, members of the Standing Committee were added, and there were Deng Qianyuan, Liu Tianqian, Chen Zhengren, Liu Zhen, Tan Sicong, Teng Daiyuan, Peng Dehuai, Zhu Changkai, Wan Xixian, Zhu Yiyue, Long Chaoqing, Wang Zuo Fifteen people including Nong, Zhou Li and Su Ruilan formed the new executive committee.The Standing Committee of the Executive Committee was reorganized, Deng Qianyuan, Liu Tianqian, Chen Zhengren, Liu Zhen, and Tan Sicong were re-elected to form the Standing Committee of the Special Committee. , Liu Zhen and propaganda committee member.The office of the Special Committee was moved to Dawan Village, Xiaojiang, Yongxin. The Fourth Enlarged Meeting of the Border Executive Committee made the following important decisions on military struggle and its tactics: 1. Decided on the "policy of gathering troops". The newly established First Independent Regiment of the Border Red Army was organized into the sixth column of the Fifth Red Army, with Wang Zuo as the commander of the column and He Changgong as the party representative of the column.The reasons for deciding on the "concentration policy" are: "(1) To enable the Five Armies to undertake the important task of 'restoring border regime', the Five Armies themselves must help strengthen their combat effectiveness... (2) The motley troops on the border are not guarding Order hinders the party's policies and work... (3) The reason for the Red Guard's difficulties in the past is that on the one hand, it has to defend the territory and defend against the enemy, and on the other hand, it requires an economic outlet. Because of the weakness of the Red Guard itself, it is difficult to have both (4) The armed forces of the landlord class on the border are superior to the armed forces of the revolution, so the armed forces on the revolutionary side may be less likely to attack and eliminate the armed forces of the landlord class; There may be many armed." 2. Developed a guerrilla platform. The content is: "(1) Confiscate the properties of the landlord and gentry class and distribute them to workers and peasants; (2) Destroy the government used by the Kuomintang and all organizations that oppress and deceive the people; (3) Destroy the taxation agencies that exploit the people, and burn grain books and landlords. (4) disarm the warlord army and the Jingwei regiment's security guards; (5) execute officials, landlords and capitalists who oppress the people; (6) confiscate large stores, factories and banks of foreign capital; ( 7) Protect the business of small businesses; (8) Protect the postal service; (9) Give preferential treatment to the soldiers who surrendered and captured by the security team of the Jingwei Regiment of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Army." 3. Divide the guerrilla area and implement guerrilla warfare in different areas. The guerrilla area of ​​the Fifth Red Army was determined to be 13 counties including Yongxin, Chaling, Ninggang, Suichuan, Lingxian, Guidong, Taihe, Wan'an, Anfu, Ji'an, Pingxiang, Youxian, and Wanzai. Xin, Chaling, Ninggang, Lianhua 4 counties.The above-mentioned counties were divided into four guerrilla areas, namely the Yongxin, Anfu, and Ji'an guerrilla areas centered on the Northwest Special Zone of Yongxin; the Lianhua, Youxian, Pingxiang, and Wanzai guerrilla areas centered on Lianhua Jiudu; The guerrilla areas in Ningkang, Chaling, Lingxian, and eastern Guangxi from Ningkang Long City to Dalong as the center; the guerrilla areas in Suichuan, Wan'an, and Taihe centered in Wan'an. 4. A new guerrilla strategy was decided. It was determined that "the initial guerrilla work should not go beyond the four counties of Yongxin, Chaling, Lianhua, and Ningkang, and it is not suitable to go to Anfu unless the economy is in trouble... Those who go out from the east of Guangxi come from Taihe, Wan'an, Ji'an or Youxian and Pingxiang, The secret work in Yong, Cha, Lian, and Ning counties should have a little foundation, and after the landlord class armed forces in the four counties have been attacked. If you want to expand or try to go to the east of Guangxi or to Taihe, Wan'an, and Ji'an based on one-sided military reasons If you don’t pay attention to the establishment of the foundation of the existing work area, the result will be to focus on one thing and lose the other, or even fail at both ends. If the work in these counties has a little foundation, the Red Army will then go guerrilla to other counties within the specified range, so as to mobilize the masses in more places and make a bigger political influence." The meeting formed a resolution on the above-mentioned issues, and believed that only when "the conflict between the ruling class changes, or when the former committee has a greater or beneficial mobilization of the revolution, the special committee will consider the resolution of changes in the interests of the revolution." While the conference was in progress, the two regiments of the Jiangxi enemy formed a scissors-like attack on the ancient city where the Fifth Red Army was stationed.Due to unknown enemy situation and our weak strength, the participants retreated to Ninggang Dalong.Unexpectedly, after arriving in Dalong, the enemy entered Maoping.So they moved to Jingshuibei Village at the foot of Bamian Mountain, and continued to hold meetings while observing the enemy's situation. The convening of the fourth executive committee of the border special committee has great significance and effect on the struggle of the soldiers and civilians on the border to persist in Jinggangshan.The meeting established a new leadership organization, correctly assessed the situation, and decided on the "troop concentration policy", which not only adapted to the situation at the time, but also reflected the military thinking of the Front Committee and Mao Zedong's "dividing troops to mobilize the masses and concentrating them to deal with the enemy"; The meeting also formulated the guerrilla political platform, divided the guerrilla areas, and proposed the idea of ​​establishing Yongxin as the political regional command center, which laid a good foundation for the formation of the Hunan-Jiangxi revolutionary base in the future. When the Fourth Executive Committee of the Border Special Committee was convening, the Jiangxi enemy attacked Ningkang with two regiments of troops, all the way to Ningkang New Town, and all the way to the Yongxin Khan River.When the enemy came suddenly, the Fifth Red Army retreated to Dalong, Ninggang because they didn’t know the enemy’s situation. , On the one hand, I want to find out the enemy's situation, and then decide whether to fight or not.Unexpectedly, on May 22, the enemy began to attack along the mountain.Due to the rapid movement of the enemy, our army was unclear about the enemy's situation, and the new formation of troops was not conducive to the battle. Therefore, the special committee decided that the Fifth Red Army would retreat from Bamian Mountain to Ling County, depending on the situation, "or go right out of Nashan Mountain to Yongxin , or leave Chaling on the left and return to Xiaojiang".However, after the Fifth Red Army retreated into Ling County, it was reported that Suichuan and Chaling had enemy troops coming to intercept them, so they had to move to the border of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and left the border. The Fifth Red Army left the border and went away, and the former Independent First Regiment of the Red Army on the border also went with it.Suddenly, the revolutionary forces on the border were greatly reduced, and the enemy took advantage of the loopholes, and the separatist regime suffered losses again. Seeing that the Red Army had gone far away, the enemy turned back and went straight through Jiulong Mountain to encircle our Jiulong Mountain military base.The Liu Zongwu group of the Bingyue Brigade of the Enemy of Hunan Province, together with the county magistrate of Chaling County, led the first battalion of the regular battalion and the security team, starting from Chaling Monk Village, going straight through Jiulong Mountain to Yongxin.Our red guards in Yongxin Sixth District and Yongxin Lotus Red Guards resisted against danger, but finally withdrew from the battle because we were outnumbered.Seeing this, the enemy knew that our troops were empty, and divided the troops into small groups to burn and kill everywhere.The enemy set the focus of burning and killing in three areas: one is the Xiaojiang District, the other is the Southeast District, and the third is the Northwest District.As a result, apart from the Northwest District, the houses of peasants in Xiaojiang District and Southeast District were burned to the ground and their belongings were swept away.Meanwhile, Lotus also suffered losses in the red zone. In the face of the enemy's despotic power, the Border Special Committee adopted emergency response measures and flexible tactics to fight against the enemy: (1) Centralize the Red Guards to command and attack the dispersed enemy troops; (2) Arm the masses in the Red Area as much as possible, lead They carried out guerrilla warfare, harassed the enemy, and made it difficult for them to eat and sleep; (3) Under the premise of meeting the revolutionary conditions and not losing the masses, the gray area should be as gray as possible, and the areas that cannot be gray should be strengthened and guarded. Guerrilla, attack the enemy. Due to proper measures, when there was no main force on the border in June, except for Yongxin and Lianhua, which suffered relatively large losses, the remaining counties suffered relatively small losses.Moreover, in the harsh reality of struggle, the poor peasants showed firm belief, "I would rather live in the grass, vow to fight the enemy to the end, and urgently demand that guns be issued to them." During this difficult period, although the policies and strategies adopted by the border party were correct, it was difficult to restore and develop the separatist regime because of the absence of regular Red Army troops.In his report to the Central Committee, Deng Qianyuan, Secretary of the Border Special Committee, wrote in heavy strokes: "From the middle of May to the end of June is the period of destruction of the border revolution." At the end of June 1929, the Fifth Red Army returned from the guerrilla attack on the border of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi, returned to Ninggang via Nanxiong, Dayu and other places, and successively recovered the two counties of Suichuan and Ninggang.The return and victory of the Fifth Red Army effectively promoted the recovery and development of the border armed separatist regime.Therefore, the Special Committee and the Military Commission of the Fifth Red Army convened a joint meeting and decided to attack Anfu.Attacking Anfu can not only solve the problem of army supplies, but also isolate the Kuomintang troops in Yongxin and Lianhua.At that time, the Fifth Red Army was under the guidance of the Border Special Committee, and Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan and others accepted the decision of the meeting. In mid-July, the Fifth Red Army went to Anfu.When they were 30 miles away from Anfu City, they encountered the enemy engineer battalion and a small number of Jingwei regiments.The commanders and fighters of the Fifth Red Army charged bravely, fought fiercely for three or four hours, defeated the enemy, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and advance to the city of Anfu.Unexpectedly, the defenders in the city resisted stubbornly and stood firm like a rock.The Fifth Red Army had not been defeated for a long time, and on the way back to Ningkang, it happened to encounter the enemy's 70th regiment.A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.In this service, the Fifth Red Army severely damaged the enemy, killing and wounding more than 300 people from the enemy's 70th Regiment, seized a large number of bullets, and captured dozens of people. The victory in the battle of Anfu, "like the early summer of spring thunder, inspired the courage of the masses and frightened away the madness of the enemy", and turned them into a state of low momentum for a long time.At this time, because the enemy could not solve the problem in southern Jiangxi and could not take into account the west of Jiangxi, and the original garrisons had their own prospects and were unable to attack the Red Army, the armed separatist regime on the border was gradually restored.In the area under the jurisdiction of the Border Special Committee, Yongxin, Lianhua, and Ningkang all established official county committees, Lingxian and Suichuan had temporary county committees, Chaling established a special district committee, and Youxian also had a branch under the jurisdiction of Lianhua.In addition, the special committee reorganized and trained the red guards in Lianhua, Yongxin, and Ninggang, and implemented the policy of unified command and scattered guerrillas. The local armed forces on the border have also developed. The number of guns has reached 500, and the separatist areas have been restored. To Lianhua 2/3, Yongxin 2/5, Ninggang 1/5.In these open red areas, "the masses, big and small, old and young, all know the Soviets" and "there are areas where the masses demand the public distribution of land." However, in the Battle of Anfu, the Fifth Red Army also suffered heavy casualties.Liu Zhizhi, the chief of staff of the army, and He Guozhong, the captain of the fourth column, died heroically, causing more than 160 casualties in the army.Therefore, in order to rectify and strengthen the strength of the Fifth Red Army, "the fifth and sixth columns were merged into one column, and Wang Zuo was still the commander. There were two detachments under the column. One detachment leader was Comrade Li Can, and the other was Comrade Bingsheng. There are two brigades under it, and each brigade is made up of 90 good guns. There is a special task force in the military headquarters, and the rest of the orderlies, servicemen, etc. are all armed with guns. The party organization is divided into three levels, and each brigade has a branch. It is under the jurisdiction of the detachment team committee, and the detachment committee is under the jurisdiction of the column committee. The secretary of the column committee is Comrade Liu Zongyi, and the director of the political department of the column is Comrade Teng Daiyuan. Two detachment party representatives, one is Comrade He Changgong and the other is Comrade Liu Zongyi." The return of the Fifth Red Army, the victory in the Anfu battle, and the re-creation of the border situation were highly praised by the special committee at the time, saying: "Since July, it has been a phenomenon of progress, and the secret work in various places is often continuous. They all improved." On August 7, 1929, at the request of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Border Special Committee, the Fifth Red Army left the Jinggangshan base and returned to the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border to carry out guerrilla struggles.Upon hearing the news, the Jiangxi enemy seized the opportunity to occupy Ningkang and Lianhua counties. At this time, the armed struggle on the border mainly relied on Yuan and Wang's Hongjun troops and local armed forces, with a total of more than 700 guns.Among them, there are more than 160 troops of Yuan and Wang, more than 300 of the Yongxin Red Guards, more than 100 of the Lianhua Red Guards, more than 100 of the Ninggang Red Guards, more than 30 of the Chaling Red Guards, and more than 30 of the Lingxian Red Guards. There are more than 20 sticks.Under the leadership of the Border Special Committee, they persisted in the armed struggle on the border. On September 6, the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a letter to the Border Special Committee, instructing that "the new border special should be established in Yongxin, the center of mass struggle." The Central Committee’s report and a letter to the Border Special Committee determined that the Hunan-Jiangxi border jurisdiction areas were: Yongxin, Lianhua, Anfu, Ninggang, Youxian, Lingxian, and Chaling, and instructed the Border Special Committee to be transferred from the leadership of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee to Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee Leaders. According to the instructions of the superiors, the Special Border Committee led the military and civilians to adopt a more flexible strategy and persist in the separatist struggle.In September and October of that year, the red armed forces at the border took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's deployment of defense and recovered Lianhua and Ninggang counties. On October 30, Liu Zuoshu, Wang Zuo, and Chen Jingjin led the local armed forces in Yongxin, Ninggang, and Lianhua counties, and with the cooperation of the masses, conquered Yongxin County.This is a major victory for the frontier soldiers and civilians since the Fourth Red Army and the Fifth Red Army left the Jinggangshan base area. After the capture of Yongxin, the Special Committee of the Hunan-Jiangxi Boundary Committee of the Communist Party of China moved from Dawan Village to Yongxin City.Since then, Yongxin has become the center of the border struggle between Hunan and Jiangxi.With the victorious development of the armed struggle and the continuous expansion of the separatist areas, the Jinggangshan revolutionary base centered on Ninggang gradually developed into the Hunan-Jiangxi revolutionary base centered on Yongxin.
