Xundian County is located in the northeast of Yunnan Province and is the key to northeastern Yunnan. Guikun Railway , Kunqu and Songhai Expressways pass through the county, and oil roads are connected to every township in the territory, making the transportation very convenient. Xundian County is a county under the jurisdiction of Kunming City, and the county has 16 townships (towns). After passing through the four counties of Fuyuan, Zhanyi, Qujing, and Malong, the Central Red Army entered Xundian County, Kunming City in three directions on April 28, 1935.

In addition, the Red 1 and 3rd Army were also required to collect materials for crossing the river in , Songming County, , and Xundian County.
That night, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others attended the meeting of the heads of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to study the deployment of crossing the Jinsha River in the north. According to the spirit of the meeting, Kong Shiquan and Wang Hui drafted the "Instructions on the Quick Crossing of the Jinsha River to Establish Soviet Area in western Sichuan" on behalf of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.
In the early morning of April 29, 1935, the "Instructions on the Quick Crossing of our Army to Establish a Soviet Area in Western Sichuan" was reviewed and issued after Zhou Enlai. As Yunnan Provincial Chairman Long Yun dispatched troops back to Kunming, the troops along the Jinsha River were empty, the Central Red Army decided to seize the favorable opportunity to turn to western Sichuan and establish a Soviet base; Military Commission specifically deployed the Red Army's march route as follows: The Red Third Army is a right column, passing through Henao Village, Xundian County, Haiwei Village, Diansha Village, , Diansha Village, Wuding County, 10,000 Wan Xigu, riverside, walnut green, and horses; the Red Third Army was obtained through Xundian, Haitou Village, Xundian County, and Hai, Luquan County Gou Street, Yicai De, Faxiangjia, and Shangbaotusi advance; the Military Commission Column and the Red Fifth Army are the central columns, and go through Xundian County Luwu, Zhongmaichang, Lutu Village, , Kelang, and Lelang, Fumin County Dashiqiao, Gengjia Village, Lao Shijia, Shibanhe, and Madian.
On the same day, the Military Commission Column passed through Xiamaichang, Jinjia Village and Xinjie of Xundian, crossed Liangwang Mountain, and passed through Sanjia Village to the Lutu area of Yaojia Village. The Red Fifth Army camped from Shuangzhuang, Yongning and Xundian County to Luwu, Zhongmaichang and Xinjie.The Red First Army set out from Xundian Grass Shoes Bridge and divided its troops into two routes through Xundian Yilong and Tangzi to attack the two peripheral strongholds in Kunming, Songming County and Yanglin Bing Station. The Red Third Army set out from the Gaotian and Gekua areas of Xundian, and the Fourth Red Army entered the Rende Basin in Xunian from Qixing Bridge and entered near Xunian County. The Red Third Army had the task of attacking Xundian County, and the Legion Command handed over this task to the Red Fourth Division.
Not long ago, Xundian County Magistrate Li Jin (Jing) Shi learned about the Red Army's entry into Yunnan; in order to prepare for the possible siege of the Red Army, Li Jinshi summoned local reactionary leaders and local tyrants and evil gentry to "stay on the city and be loyal to the party and the country." On the one hand, Li Jinshi expanded the militia to more than a thousand people and stepped up training of the county security team, and on the other hand, he urgently requested support from Longyun.
htmlOn April 29th, it happened that Xundian County was in the market; the reconnaissance force of the Red Fourth Division disguised himself as fellow villagers, mixed into the crowd, chatted and laughed with the villagers, sneaked into the county town with a swagger, and became the insider to attack the county town. Before noon, the main force of the Red Fourth Division rushed to the Beiguan, Gucheng, Huilong and Aojiao areas near Xundian County to occupy the commanding heights outside the Qinglong Mountain first-line city; at the same time, they sent troops to March Sanpotou to prevent the enemies coming from reinforcements from Kunming.
After the Red Fourth Division made a combat deployment, it called out to the county town and launched a political offensive; after the call failed, the Red Fourth Division began to attack the city. The Red Army's machine guns, rifles and grenades in the Qinglong Mountain area poured down to the west gate of Xundian County; the enemy troops in the Xicheng hurriedly fled to the east gate of the county. At this time, the reconnaissance troops of the Red Fourth Division who had sneaked into the county town opened the east gate, and the Red Army outside the city poured into the city from the east gate; the Red Army successively captured the West Gate and the North Gate. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jinshi, the magistrate of Xundian County, hurriedly fled alone; Li Jinshi, who had fled, happened to be seen by Xiao Fenxiang. Xiao Fenxiang was forced to be a maid in the house of the big bully Li Huanwen because her father was owed debts, and she was oppressed. Therefore, she hated these reactionary officials. Xiao Fenxiang was worried that she could not catch Li Jinshi alone, so she became wise and asked him to hide in the stable in the backyard of Li Hude, the county's Xingguan. Afterwards, Xiao Fenxiang hurriedly reported the message to the Red Army and led the Red Army to Li Hude's house and grabbed Li Jinshi from the stable.
After conquering the Xundian County, the 4th Red Division wrote slogans such as "Beat the local tyrants and divide the land" and "The Red Army is the army of workers and peasants" on the high walls; a mass meeting was held under the bell and drum tower of the county town to publicize the Communist Party's policies and challenge Chiang to save the country; a county government prison was opened and more than 90 innocent detained people were released. At the same time, the Red Army opened the granary, salt warehouse and shop of the bully Li Huanwen's family, and distributed its ninety stone grains, more than ten thousand feet of cloth, several thousand kilograms of salt and other property to the poor. In addition, the Red Army also paraded the captured county magistrate Li Jinshi, the chief of the Finance and Grain Section Liu Jun (Jin) De, the chief of the Justice Section Li Jingfang, and the chief of the Songxun Qingzhang Wang Mingxiang (Wang Mingqing), and others wearing high hats to parade in the streets. According to the request of the masses, Li Jingfang was executed on the spot, and the remaining reactionaries were also executed by the Red Army the next day.
1035 On April 30, the Military Commission Column arrived at Kedu via Xundian County, and moved to Dangui Village . Zhou Enlai made specific arrangements for the cadre regiment to cross the Jinsha River; the cadre regiment set out from Kedu with the fifth company as the forerunner and headed straight for Jiaopingdu. That night, Mao Zedong walked more than 2 miles to the Kedu Street Ministry of Health and visited the four elders Lin Boqu, Dong Biwu, Xu Teli and Xie Juezai; at the same time, he visited the wounded and sick, and mobilized them to prepare for an urgent march and crossing the Jinsha River.
Kedu is a Huimin settlement area. In order to enhance the Huimin's understanding of the Red Army, the Red Army carried out revolutionary propaganda to fight the rich and help the poor in the Kedu area; the Red Army captured the big bully surnamed Zhang and the security chief alive, and then took it to Jijie to execute. When Zhu De learned that Red Army soldiers had entered the mosque , he did not pay attention to respecting the customs of the people of Hui people (a soldier mistakenly brought pork into the Hui people's worship temple), and when the Red Army soldiers took away their horses to use while the Hui people were not at home, they immediately ordered the corrections and instructed the propaganda team to write propaganda slogans such as "The Red Army absolutely protected the interests of the workers and peasants in the home" in the village. The central leaders also personally came forward to do their work, met with local Hui leaders, went to the mosque to talk to the imam and the religious people, explained the party's ethnic policies, and eliminated the Hui people's misunderstanding of the Red Army.Due to the large-scale work of the Red Army, the Red Army and the Hui people have a harmonious relationship. When the Red Army left, more than 10 young Hui people signed up to join the army.
Today, the General Political Department of the Red Army issued the "Political Work Training Order on Crossing the Jinsha River and Transferring to Western Sichuan" ; the order required that the heads of various corpses, the columns of the Military Commission and the cadre regiments give broad political explanations for the Red Army cadres and soldiers in response to the decisions of the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission to cross the river and transfer to western Sichuan.
On the same day, the vanguard of the Red First Army on the right arrived at Xundian Qianzhuang, and the rest of the right crossed Liangwangshan and entered Xundian Qijia, walking on the route of the Military Commission Column. In the Seven-Arcade of Xundian, the Red 1st Army happened to meet the Red 5th Army on the right, and the Red 5th Army asked the Red 1st Army troops to pass first. Later, the Red First Army and the Military Commission Column met, and one followed the Military Commission Column to Kedu through Kelang, and the other went to Qianzhuang, Fumin County (at that time, belonged to Xundian).
The Red Third Army set out from Xundian County and its vicinity, and traveled more than 50 kilometers a day on the left, passing Haitou, Henghe Liangzi, and Dabailishu into the ancient city of Kedu and the area north of Xinji Street; the vanguard on the left destroyed the Kedu District Office and captured the district mayor Yang Tingfa alive. The Red Third Army passed through Diansha Village on the right and headed towards Wanxigu and the riverside in Wuding County. The Red Fifth Army set out from Xinjie and went to Kelang through Sanjia Village, Qijia, Daijia Village, Liujia, Mulongma.
At 6 a.m. on May 1, 1935, the Military Commission Column set off from Xundian Kedu and entered Luquan County through Xin and Laoji Streets. The Red Third Army also entered Luquan County today. The Red Fifth Army advanced to Kedu, Xundian County.
