Why did the earliest Red Army in the history of China call it the "Red Fourth Front Army" instead of the "Red Army"?
In the face of foreign invaders, we stood up bravely and organized troops to compete with them. In fact, in April 1928, Zhu De led a part of the team left over from the Nanchang Uprising, joined the peasant armed forces in southern Hunan at that time-Wuxiang Uighur, and then arrived in Jinggangshan area. Together with the revolutionary army of workers and peasants led by Comrade Mao Zedong, it was called the fourth army of the workers and peasants revolution from now on.
Many people don't quite understand such a title. I don't know why my first army is not called the Red Army, but the Red Fourth Army. In fact, there are many reasons. First of all, the history of our country's struggle is actually a history of hard work and sadness. This name is used here to preserve the name of the Kuomintang Fourth Army.
Because he is equivalent to a revolutionary fortress in the revolutionary process, continuing to use such a name also means that we should continue to carry forward the fine character of an army in the struggle process. In fact, the Fourth Army of the Kuomintang was originally one of the founding troops of the National Revolutionary Army, which played a key role in the anti-Japanese war and made outstanding achievements.
