0 After the establishment of the Red Fourth Front Army, it launched a fierce attack on the Huang'an county occupied by the Kuomintang army, and Huang'an county was soon captured by the Red Army .

In this battle, the Red Army killed more than 15,000 enemies, seized more than 7,000 guns, and more than 210 mortars. After the war, the Red Army renamed Huang'an County to Hong'an County .

Two months later, the Red Army surrounded a unit of the Kuomintang army in Sujiabu east of Huang'an.

The battle in Sujiabu lasted 48 days. The Red Fourth Front Army killed more than 30,000 enemies, seized more than 15,000 guns, more than 1,000 pistols, machine guns, 250 mountain cannons, 4 radios, and a large number of military supplies.

This is an unprecedented great victory for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the fight against the Kuomintang army. The main force of the Fourth Red Army quickly developed to more than 45,000 people.

The population of the base area has also grown from more than 1 million to more than 3 million, and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui red base area has thus entered its heyday.

The Fourth Red Front Army lost the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression operation and was forced to evacuate from the prosperous Hubei-Henan-Anhui base.

In January 1933, the Fourth Red Army arrived at the junction of northern Sichuan and Gansu and Shaanxi. The mountains of Daba Mountain made the Red Army finally gain relative security after paying a huge price.

The Fourth Red Front Army quickly established a Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base including 23 counties and a population of 5 million. The Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Union were successively established.

In September 1933, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 110 regiments, with a total force of more than 200,000, equipped with 18 combat aircraft, preparing to encircle and suppress the Sichuan-Shaanxi base areas in large numbers.

At that time, in the Sichuan-Shaanxi base, the Red Fourth Front Army had 80,000 troops, including the guerrilla army. Whether it was military strength or weapons and equipment, the Red Army was at an absolute disadvantage.

The battle to defend the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area was unprecedentedly tragic.

In June 1934, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area as soon as possible, the Sichuan Army Liu Xiang's troops mobilized 200,000 troops to launch an attack on the 0,000 source . At this time, the Red Fourth Front Army had withdrawn from 90% of the base area.

The Red Army adopted fierce attacks and long-distance roundabout tactics, which eventually caused the entire arc-shaped encirclement formed by the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area to collapse.

Although he won the victory in the battle with the Sichuan Army, the losses suffered by the Shaanxi-Gansu base are immeasurable. The troops were seriously injured and injured, the labor force and military forces were exhausted, and the supply was very difficult, and infectious diseases began to prevail.

The Red Fourth Front Army finally decided to cross the west of Jialing River and expand its living space towards Shaanxi and Gansu.

On the night of March 28, 1935, after forcing the Jialing River, the Fourth Red Army continued to pursue the fleeing Sichuan Army.

At dawn on April 2, the Fourth Red Army began to attack Jianmen Pass. The Red Army launched charges again and again at the main peak of Jianmen Pass. The Sichuan Army blocked the ground with its steep terrain, and its firepower was extremely fierce.

In the end, Jianmen Pass was captured by the Red Army. After the battle, the Red Fourth Front Army decided to concentrate its main force to annihilate Deng Xihou's troops of the Sichuan Army in Jiangyou in order to develop into the Sichuan-Gansu border area.
