1927 Since April, Kuomintang reactionaries Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei have openly rebelled against the revolution, suppressed the workers, peasants and students' movements, and massacred * * * producers and revolutionary masses. The revolutionary forces were severely damaged, and the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants was forced to turn from attack to defense.
China's * * * production party realized the extreme importance of armed struggle from the lesson of blood. In order to save the failure of the revolution, he was determined to launch an uprising in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, where the enemy was relatively weak, and to carry out an armed struggle with the Kuomintang reactionaries. 1in mid-July, 927, the Central Committee of China * * * with Zhou Enlai as its secretary was established by the Central Committee of China, specifically responsible for leading the uprising.
At that time, the revolutionary ranks stationed in Nanchang included the officers training regiment of the Fifth Army and the Third Army led by Zhu De and two security teams controlled by Nanchang Public Security Bureau. On July 26th, the 24th Division of 1 1 Army led by Ye Ting and the 20th Army led by He Long refused to carry out the Jingwei command and left Jiujiang for Nanchang. These troops * * * have about 30,000 people and are stationed in several places. At that time, there were only over 10,000 reactionary Kuomintang troops stationed in Nanchang. According to the strength of the enemy and ourselves, China's former enemy committee made careful arrangements.
At 2 am on August 1 Sunday, Zhou Enlai, Ye Ting, He Long, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng and others led more than 30,000 rebels to launch the Nanchang Uprising. Zhou Enlai was sitting in a school near the Catholic Church in Baisong Lane, commanding all the rebels. He Long and Liu Bocheng led the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 20th Army to attack the Putai yamen from front to back and annihilate the enemy guards. Ye Ting commanded the 7 1 regiment of the 24th Division to wage a fierce battle with the 57th regiment of the enemy sixth army in the Catholic Church of Baisong Lane. The enemy was forced to surrender under the heavy artillery fire of the rebels. The 6 th Regiment of the 20 th Army and the Training Regiment also quickly defeated the 99 th Regiment of the 9 th Army outside Hue Gate. The insurgents fought bravely and killed the enemy. After more than four hours of fierce fighting, they destroyed the enemy troops stationed in Nanchang and successfully occupied Nanchang city.
In the afternoon, the 25th Division of the Fourth Army, which was adapted from the original Ye Ting Independent Regiment and stationed in Ma Huiling, led by Comrade Nie appointed by the Central Committee, set out a team from the station to De 'an County to hold an uprising. On August 2nd, the 25th Division arrived in Nanchang and joined forces with the main force. At this point, Nanchang Uprising won as planned.
After the success of the uprising, China's * * * Front Enemy Committee held a meeting in Nanchang, and established an organization with * * * producers as the core and the Kuomintang leftist as the leader-the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. At the same time, the uprising troops were reorganized and their leaders were adjusted, and the troops still used the name of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
From August 3 to 7, the insurgents began to evacuate Nanchang south as originally planned. The victory of Nanchang Uprising shocked the Kuomintang reactionaries. When Chiang Kai-shek learned that the rebels had withdrawn from Nanchang and were going south, he quickly dispatched eight divisions to intercept the rebels. All the way south, the rebel army bravely resisted the enemy's interception and continued to move forward, reaching Ruijin, Jiangxi Province in late August. However, the insurgents suffered heavy casualties after fighting all the way. /kloc-at the beginning of 0/0, the insurgents were attacked by superior enemy forces in Sanheba and Tangkeng. The rebels fought fiercely for days, outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid greater losses, according to the instructions of the central authorities, the insurgents changed their original plans and retreated. Under the leadership of Changyi Yan and Dong Lang, the first part of the rebel army rushed out of the tight encirclement and finally entered the Hailufeng area. Under the leadership of Comrade Peng Pai, Hailufeng revolutionary base area was opened. The other, led by Zhu De and Chen Yi, entered the border of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi to carry out guerrilla warfare.
The Nanchang Uprising started the first shot against the Kuomintang reactionaries. The success of the uprising dealt a heavy blow to the Kuomintang reactionaries and greatly encouraged the people of China to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries. At the same time, it also opened the curtain for China's * * * production party to establish a revolutionary army and lead the armed revolution independently.
