During the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, a Red Army team was active in the Wenzhou area in southern Zhejiang, and it was officially ranked by the superior as one of the fourteen Red Army in the country, that is, the Red 13th Army. Under the leadership of the organization, this Red Army contingent persisted in the struggle for four years, and its activities covered more than 20 counties in southern Zhejiang, and at its peak, the team had three regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total of about 6,000 people.
Wherever the Red Army contingent went, they propagated and organized the political program, carried out the agrarian revolution, established the Red regime, educated and mobilized the masses of the people, effectively cooperated with the agrarian revolutionary war throughout the country, and laid a solid foundation for the later Advancing Division of the Red Army to establish guerrilla base areas in southern Zhejiang.
The Red 13th Army's combat footprints spread throughout Wenzhou, Taizhou, Lishui, Jinhua and other places, experienced more than a hundred large and small battles, conquered many prefecture-level cities and many county towns and market towns, dealt a heavy blow to the kuomintang's reactionary rule, pinned down some of the enemy's forces in the Central Soviet Region and the Fujian-Zhejiang-Gansu base area, and established outstanding merits for the development and victory of the revolutionary struggle. However, because the Red 13th Army was located in the core ruling area of the enemy, it was frantically "encircled and suppressed" by the reactionaries, and several major leaders of the Red 13th Army died one after another in battle.
After Yan Pu, who was in danger, took office, he immediately mobilized and organized the peasant armed forces in various places, deployed the troops of various regiments of the Red Army, and in the process of capturing the market towns, won some victories, so that the local reactionary regiments were tired of running for their lives, and later, organized the capture of Wenzhou, for various reasons, the battle was finally lost, he was forced to retreat to the Yuhuan rectification and training unit, at this time, Yan Pu, who was seriously ill, left the army with the approval of the organization and went to Shanghai for medical treatment, from then on he ended his career as a military commissar leading the Red Army troops, and then came to work in the central Soviet region of Jiangxi.
