Jinggang Mountain Division:

In 1927, Mao Zedong led the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising to Jinggang Mountain, and started the "Workers' and Peasants' Armed Rule"; after the victory of the battle of Xincheng in February, 1928, the base area of Jinggang Mountain centered on Ninggang Mountain was formed initially.

Mao Zedong sent He Changgong to the south of Hunan and the north of Guangdong to look for some of the Nanchang Uprising troops led by Zhu De. After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, Zhu De and Chen Yi persisted in their struggle on the borders of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong. When they heard that Mao Zedong had already established a revolutionary base in Jinggangshan, they sent Mao Zet Qin to make contact.

After several setbacks, the two revolutionary armies finally made contact.

On April 28, 1928, under the cover and reception of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army led by Mao Zedong, part of the Nanchang Uprising troops led by Zhu De and Chen Yi as well as the peasant army of the Xiangnan Riot safely moved to Jinggang Mountain, where they met with the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Mao Zedong at Ninggang Rong.

On May 4, 1928, according to the decision of the Special Committee of Xiangnan, the two divisions of Zhu and Mao were merged into the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army (on June 4, according to the instructions of the Central Committee of the C***, it was renamed the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army), with the commander of the army, Zhu De; the party representative, Mao Zedong; and the director of the political department, Chen Yi.

The meeting at Jinggangshan and the establishment of the Red Army were conducive to the consolidation and development of the revolutionary base in Jinggangshan. The establishment and development of the revolutionary base in Jinggangshan shocked the Kuomintang authorities, and Chiang Kai-shek mobilized his heavy forces to launch the "invasion" and the "meeting and suppression".

Under the leadership of Mao Zedong and Zhu De, the soldiers and civilians of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area fought hard against the Kuomintang army and crushed the enemy's attacks. In the course of consolidating and developing the base area, the Red Army created a series of important experiences in the construction of the people's army, which had a wide and far-reaching influence on the course of the Chinese Revolution.
