As we all know, Red Army has three main forces, namely the First Red Army, Red Second Front Army and Red Fourth Front Army . During the Long March , the strength of the Red Fourth Front Army was the strongest among the three main forces of the Red Army. This unit was led by Zhang Guotao. Zhang Guotao also relied on his many troops and widened his generals, so he took the initiative to ask the Central Committee for an official position. From the perspective of unity, the Central Committee appointed Zhang Guotao as the General Political Commissar of the Red Army. However, Zhang Guotao was still obsessed with it, and later he openly split the Red Army and led the Red Fourth Front Army to the south.

Today we are talking about as Zhang Guotao's secretary, and this person also publicly supported Zhang Guotao's split of the Red Army. His name is Huang Chao. After the three main forces of the Red Army met with , Huang Chao joined West Route Army , crossed Yellow River and entered Ningxia, Gansu to fight. However, the West Route Army suffered a failure. Huang Chao went to Xinjiang and was eventually killed by Wang Ming there. So, what is the story about Huang Chao?

Huang Chao was born in 1906 and is from Guizhou. In his early years, Huang Chao mainly studied in his hometown. When he grew up, he went to Shanghai. It was also during his studies in Shanghai that Huang Chao came into contact with Marxism-Leninism and developed a strong interest in Marxism-Leninism. He participated in many student movements and workers' movements, and officially joined our party in 1925. After joining the party, Huang Chao continued to promote the workers' movement in Shanghai. However, in 1927, as Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei successively betrayed the revolution, and the vigorous revolutionary movement failed, Huang Chao's work gradually moved underground. In 1928, under the organization's arrangement, Huang Chao was sent to study in Moscow, the Soviet Union, where he continued to study revolutionary theory.

In 1930, Huang Chao was ordered to return to China. He first worked in the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee for a period of time, and in 1931 he was transferred to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area. At that time, Zhang Guotao also happened to arrive in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area, and Huang Chao served as Zhang Guotao's secretary. Huang Chao was a capable intellectual and participated in the revolution very early. During his tenure as Zhang Guotao's secretary, his steady work style was deeply appreciated by Zhang Guotao, and Zhang Guotao also intends to train Huang Chao to become his confidant. With Zhang Guotao's promotion, Huang Chao soon served as Secretary-General of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Military Commission and Secretary-General of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army, and was a senior general of the Red Fourth Front Army.

After this, Huang Chao followed Zhang Guotao to participate in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area and the development of the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, and in May 1935, he participated in the Long March of the Red Fourth Front Army. After the First Red Front Army met with the Fourth Red Front Army, Huang Chao continued to follow Zhang Guotao and publicly supported Zhang Guotao's behavior of splitting the Red Army. He followed Zhang Guotao to the Sichuan-Kang area. However, the Fourth Red Front Army suffered heavy losses later. Under the persuasion of a group of generals, Zhang Guotao agreed to go north, which led to the subsequent three main forces of the Red Army meeting successfully.

Red Fourth Front Army was reorganized into the Western Route Army after arriving in northern Shaanxi. Huang Chao also joined the Western Route Army and crossed the Yellow River to enter Ningxia, Gansu to fight. However, due to insufficient estimates of the enemy situation, the Western Route Army suffered huge losses and almost wiped out the entire army. Huang Chao also followed Li Xiannian to break through to Xinjiang and joined the training team there, staying in Xinjiang for military training.

After training in Xinjiang for a period of time, Huang Chao heard that Wang Ming returned to China from the Soviet Union through Xinjiang, so he found Wang Ming, hoping to study in the Soviet Union. At that time, many people in the remnants of the Western Route Army asked to study in the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union only agreed to accept the disabled senior cadre . Against this background, Huang Chao was left in Xinjiang. In the spring of 1938, Wang Ming gave Huang Chao a charge of "Trotskyist" and executed Huang Chao. Huang Chao was only 32 years old when he was killed.
