The outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising shocked the right-wing faction of the Kuomintang, which immediately dispatched heavy troops to encircle and suppress the uprising army. On August 3, the uprising army began to withdraw from Nanchang in batches according to the central decision made before the uprising. They then moved south to Guangdong along the eastern part of Jiangxi and western Fujian, with two intentions: first, to restore and establish a revolutionary base in Guangdong, gather strength, and re-launch the Northern Expedition; second, to seize the sea outlet to obtain maritime assistance from the Communist International. This is a multimedia presentation reflecting the southward movement of the uprising army.
At the end of August and the beginning of September, the troops engaged in fierce battles with the enemy in the areas of Renshan and Huichang in Ruijin, achieving victories in three battles. However, the uprising troops also suffered significant casualties.
When the uprising troops arrived in Ruijin, He Long, who had repeatedly applied to join the party but was not approved, was introduced by comrades such as Zhou Yiqun and honorably joined the Communist Party of China. This is his party membership registration form.
In early September, the uprising troops entered the Changting area of Fujian. Fu Lianchao, the acting director of the Changting Gospel Hospital, took the initiative to organize personnel to treat the wounded soldiers of the uprising army.
On September 23 and 24, the uprising army occupied Chaozhou and Shantou respectively. The Revolutionary Committee and the General Command were located at the Dapu Guild Hall, where Zhang Tailei conveyed the spirit of the August 7th Meeting and the central decision to abandon the Kuomintang flag and establish a Soviet regime.
This is an oil painting reflecting the Battle of Sanheba. At that time, Zhu De led 2,500 troops to confront more than 10,000 enemy troops across the river, fighting for two days and nights. The battle was extremely tragic; according to reports at the time, the river water was dyed red with blood, and the river was filled with corpses, making it impossible for local residents to drink the river water for a long time. The walls of the ancestral hall at the Sanheba battlefield site still retain the slogans from that time, vowing to fight to the death against the enemy. After the founding of the country, when farmers were sorting this land, they still unearthed the remains of hundreds of soldiers. In 1963, a monument was established to commemorate the fallen soldiers, with Zhu De personally writing the inscription.
