Under the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang, the Red Army was in an extremely unfavorable situation, but fortunately, after many hardships, the Central Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army still succeeded in joining forces with Yu Maogong.
In the event of the successful convergence of the two forces, the revolutionary forces will naturally increase greatly, but what we did not expect is that at this time there will be major differences.
After many bloody battles, the total strength of the Central Red Army was less than 20,000, and it was obvious that it could not be compared with the Red Fourth Front Army, which had 80,000 troops.
Naturally, the Central Red Army made some compromises, but these compromises were not unprincipled, but they were appropriate to make concessions, in the hope that the Red Army could be united. But Zhang did not restrain because of this, and on the surface he pretended to cooperate with the central government, but in fact he had his own ideas. Subsequently, the two major Red Army were mixed, divided into two armies, the left and the right, and marched to the same destination.
What he didn't expect was that the Left Army led by Zhang suddenly coerced the Party Central Committee and the Red First Army, demanding that they must go south according to his ideas.
Under such circumstances, the central machine had to leave with a part of its troops to avoid a situation of real infighting in the Red Army. First of all, Dong Zhentang, the former commander of the Red Fifth Army Corps, officially joined the revolutionary ranks after the Ningdu Uprising, so his party spirit was extremely strong.
When he learned of Zhang's idea, he immediately objected, but for him at this time, he was in a state of soft-spokenness, and his opposition did not have too much impact. After Zhang saw that his co-optation was ineffective, he arranged his cronies to serve as political commissars in the Red Fifth Army. Dong Zhentang naturally couldn't tolerate this, so he also contradicted Zhang's because of the matter. Dong Zhentang was aggrieved by this, and immediately found Liu Shuai and decided to control the Zhang family and coerce him to go north.
Mr. Zhu learned that he tried his best to stop this, so Dong Zhentang followed him to the north, and finally died because of it, and Li Zhuoran, as the former politician of the Red Fifth Army, had a very good relationship with Chairman Mao, but what he didn't expect was that under the pull of Zhang's family, he stood for the Red family, so he was reused by Zhang's family. It's just that after the defeat of the Western Route Army, Li Zhuoran broke away from the front-line command because of this, and was mainly engaged in propaganda work in the future. Chen Bojun, the former chief of staff of the Red Fifth Army, was Chairman Mao's descendant general, and when the Zhang family insisted on going south, Chen Bojun looked for his theory, and Chen Bojun was criticized for this.
After this incident, Chen Bojun's military career development was still relatively good, and he finally got the rank of general because of his military exploits. Zeng Risan, as the director of the Political Department of the Red Fifth Army, also resolutely opposed Zhang's idea, so he was hated by Zhang, and was subsequently transferred to the Red 9th Army as the director of the Political Department. Luo Binghui, as the former commander of the Red Ninth Army, brought Peng Shaohui's letter to Mr. Zhu into the hands of the Zhang family during this incident, which greatly affected Peng Shaohui.
Therefore, Luo Binghui was unable to fight on the front line for a long time, and He Changgong, the political commissar of the Red Ninth Army, also chose to support the Zhang family in the northward and southward incident.
Guo Tianmin was the chief of staff of the Red Ninth Army Corps, and because of his clear attitude of standing on the side of the central government, he was transferred to the Red Army University to study, and in the subsequent military development, he made military achievements and obtained the rank of general.
