The Red Army's Dongzheng Road residence is located in Zhoushanzhuang Village, Chakou Township, Gujiao City. From February 20 to May 5, 1936, the Red Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi formed the Chinese People's Red Army Anti-Japanese Vanguard Army to cross the Yellow River and march east to Shanxi. In late March, the Red Army of the Eastern Expedition was divided into three routes, and the Red 15th Army Corps led by Xu Haidong, Cheng Zihua, and Zhou Shidi was the left route army.
On March 21, the Red Army on the left road entered Gujiao Dongta Village from Jiaocheng all the way, and entered Gujiao Town along Xiaoloufeng, Mulianpo, Quping, Chang'an, Xinzhuang and Liangzhuang in the original Pingchuan. One route passes through Jiaocheng to enter Xinfang, Chakou, Mahui, Zhoushanzhuang, Kangzhuang, Yingli and other villages in Tunlanchuan. There is also a route from Miyu Town to enter Yangwan, Tizitou, Shentangping, Guantou and other villages of Tunlanchuan through Baitiaoling Mountain. After the Red 15th Army entered Gujiao Town, it posted advertisements and distributed leaflets, and held a meeting in the courtyard of the district office to publicize the Communist Party's anti-Japanese stand and expose the true face of the Kuomintang in passively resisting the war and actively suppressing the Communist Party. Everywhere the Red Army went, discipline was strict, and there was no offense in the autumn, and the masses in various localities were mobilized to liquidate some local tyrants and landlords, and the masses were given food and clothing. Inspired by the Red Army, the villagers dispelled their concerns and gradually began to come into contact with the Red Army. Feng Yong, Li Genhui, Li Balze, Hao Haikui, Zhao Sanjiao, Zhao Chengkui and others became the first batch of progressive youths in Gujiao to join the Red Army. During the period in Gujiao Town, the Red Army set up a banquet, invited nearby wealthy families as guests, and raised 1,000 oceans; Ma Ma, a wealthy family in Kangzhuang Village, successfully raised 800 oceans for the Red Army, and Yin Xiangming, an enlightened person in ancient Jiaojiao, donated 170 oceans to the Red Army. On March 26, in the face of Yan Xishan's Fu Cunhuai's encirclement, the Red Army moved westward from the direction of Qizuiya in order to preserve its strength. A small part is transferred from the big river to Lou Fan, and a small part goes up along the Tunlan River, and when it enters Zhoushanzhuang, it enters the territory of Lou Fan from Banshi Ditch and Qidui Ditch to the north respectively. The main force of the Red Army entered the area of Loufu Tianchidian from Konghegou in the northeast of Guantou Village.
The Red Army of the Eastern Crusade only stayed in Gujiao for a short few days, but it sowed the fire of the Gujiao Revolution. In 2006, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Red Army's Eastern Crusade, the Taiyuan City Patriotic Education Leading Group and the Gujiao City Patriotic Education Leading Group built a commemorative stone for the Red Army's Eastern Expedition Road in Zhoushanzhuang and other villages.
