On June 19, 1934, the Central Branch of Western Hunan and Hubei held a meeting in Fengxiangxi to establish the Military Committee of the Qiandong Special Administrative Region, which prepared the conditions for the events of the Red Third Army and the Red Sixth Army Corps and the formation of the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Revolutionary Base Area.

On the 24th of the month, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps met in Muhuang, and the military headquarters was located in the Shuifu Palace on Muhuang Street. Liang army leaders He Long, Xiao Ke, Xia Xi, Guan Xiangying, Wang Zhen, Ren Bishi, and others held an emergency meeting here to determine the plan for unified action and unified command of the two corps.

On the 28th of the month, the Red 26th Army set out from the southern waist boundary of Youyang, Sichuan, and advanced into Xiangxi.

The Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Revolutionary Base Area was the last red base area on the south bank of the Yangtze River under the leadership of the Communist Party of China after the Red Army of all stripes across the country left their original base areas during the Second Civil Revolutionary War.

From the 19th of the month, the Central Branch of the Communist Party of China in western Hunan and Hubei put forward the decision of "creating a new Soviet area in the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou border area" at the meeting of Xianfeng Village in Hubei Province and began to create it, and in the first half of the month, the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Revolutionary Committee rewarded the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Revolutionary Base Area, which spans the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, the southwest of Hubei Province, the southeast of Sichuan Province, and the northeast of Guizhou Province. The base area was centered on Yongshun, Longshan, Dayong (now Zhangjiajie City) and Sangzhi, including Baojing and Cili in Hunan Province, Xuan'en, Xianfeng and Hefeng in Hubei, Youyang in Sichuan Province, and most or part of Yinjiang, Dejiang, Yanhe, Songtao, Jiangkou, Shiqian and Sinan counties in Guizhou.

The guerrilla areas include Yuanling, Taoyuan, and Changde in the Yuanshui Valley of Hunan Province, Shimen, Jinshi, Linli, and Li counties in the Lishui Valley, Songzi, Laifeng, and Enshi in Hubei, Xiushan and Pengshui in Sichuan, and parts of Xianfeng, Lichuan, Qianjiang, and Shizhu counties on the border of the Echuan River.

The Red Army, the main force in the base areas, that is, the 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army, became stronger and stronger in the course of establishing base areas and opposing the enemy's "encirclement and suppression," and grew from less than 8,000 at the time of the division to more than 20,000.

The development of this base area and the existence of the Red Army has become a nail in the heart of the enemy. It played an important role in containing and dispersing the enemy's forces, striking at the enemy from the flanks and rear, shaking the enemy's entire reactionary position, and coordinating with the struggle of other base areas and the Red Army. Just as Comrade Ren Bishi once said: "Our Second and Sixth Army Corps and the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Soviet Region are the most important pillars in the development of the Soviet movement in southern China on the south bank of the Yangtze River. He was one of the most important forces that cooperated with and assisted the Red Army (the full name of the field army and the four front armies) of the central government, hundreds of Kuomintang warlords, and then directly fought the war through imperialism. ”

On 26 November, according to the telegram of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee on the establishment of the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Military Region, the Provisional Committee of the Communist Party of China in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou was established in Dayong County, with Ren Bishi (secretary of the provincial party committee), He Long, Guan Xiangying, Xia Xi, Wang Zhen, Xiao Ke, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Shijie (later defected), and Zhou Yuzhu (secretary of the provincial party committee of the Young Communist Party) as members of the provincial party committee. At the same time, the Revolutionary Committee of the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Provincial Party Committee was established, with He Long as chairman and Xia Xi and Zhu Changqing as vice chairmen.

The Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Military Region, and the Provincial Revolutionary Committee took a total of 395 days from the establishment of Dayong on the 26th of the month to the 23rd of the Provincial Logistics Organ to break through the Long March with the 18th Red Division. Among them, 16 days in Dayong, 122 days in Yongshun Tower, April 17 - 23 days in Longshan year, including 24 days in Xinglong Street and 233 days in Ciyantang), the longest time in Longshan County.

The Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou and the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army were in Longshan for more than seven months, mainly with Ciyantang as the center, leading the people in the border areas to carry out armed struggles in war and the construction of Soviet areas, and established the Provincial Party Committee of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, the Provincial Military District, as well as 10 county (or regional) party committees, nine line revolutionary committees (or Soviets), and nearly 70 districts. More than 230 township (Soviet) political powers, and carried out land reform and developed cultural and educational undertakings in the base areas, and achieved a series of brilliant achievements.

At the same time, the Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan-Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army planned and commanded major battles such as the defense of Chenjiahe, Taozixi, Longshan County, Zhongbao, Chestnut Garden, Zhaotouzhai, Bajiaotuo, and Ciyantang in Longshan for more than half a year.

The 2nd and 6th Army Corps of the Red Army fought bravely and fought hard, laughed and fought more than 30 times, successively annihilated two enemy divisions, a brigade and a division headquarters, captured more than 8,000 enemy soldiers, captured 1 enemy column commander and division commander, 2 dead staff officers, 3 regiment commanders, more than 200 battalion commanders and soldiers, killed 1 enemy division commander (committed suicide after being seriously wounded), 2 brigade commanders, 5 regiment commanders, and more than 10,000 enemy casualties. About 10,000 enemy rifles, more than 150 light and heavy machine guns, two mountain guns, and about 1.2 million rounds of ammunition were captured......

The heroic battles of the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Hesitant Red Army attracted the strength of 130 regiments of the enemy army and inflicted heavy casualties, not only cooperating with the Red First Army's victorious arrival in northern Shaanxi during the Long March, and coping with the transfer of the Red Fourth Front Army in Chuankang, but also victoriously completing its own strategic transfer task, giving birth to the Red Second Front Army, one of the three main forces of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
