On May 1 day, under the leadership of Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and Shaanxi East Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, farmers in Wei (South) central (county) area held a mass meeting in the original site of Wei Hua, announced the uprising, and established the Soviet regime in the district and township and the Red Guards in Shaanxi East. On May 10, the 3rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army (Brigadier General Xu Quanzhong), the 2nd Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was mastered by Shaanxi Provincial Committee, left Tongguan and headed by Tang Shu and Liu Zhidan (Liu). This unit was formed by the Sun Yat-sen Military Academy in Xi and the political security team at the headquarters of the National Army and Allied Forces in Shaanxi during the Great Revolution. Most of the leaders at all levels are party member, made by * * *, and many officers and men are party member and league members made by * * *, but they are actually military forces led by China's * * * production party. After the third brigade arrived in Guapo Town, hua county, it announced the uprising and took part in the peasant uprising in the region. The uprising troops in Gaotang Town, Huaxian County were reorganized into the Northwest Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army, with commander-in-chief Tang Shu, chairman of the Military Commission Liu Zhidan, political commissar Liu Jizeng, chief of staff Wang Taiji, party secretary Wu Haoran and general adviser Xu Quanzhong. There are more than 1000 people in the whole army, four brigades and a cavalry unit. Combined with the peasant uprising, the revolutionary army of workers and peasants destroyed the local reactionary regime of the Kuomintang in the former site of Hua Wei, established its own Soviet regime and Red Guards, killed the evil gentry and landlords, confiscated their property and distributed it to the poor peasants. Armed struggle is surging in Hua Wei, and soon a red separatist region of about 200 square kilometers is formed, centering on Gaotang in hua county and Tashan in Weinan, starting from Shaohua Mountain in the east, Lintong in the west, Weihe River in the north and Qinling Mountain in the south. Soviet political power was established in 48 districts and villages in hua county, Weinan and Wuyi (county governance in the early Republic of China, now Linwei District of Weinan City). The rapid development of revolutionary forces frightened the reactionary authorities. Feng Yuxiang urgently mobilized three divisions and the reactionary militia in Hua Wei to "encircle" the central area of the uprising. After several fierce battles, the revolutionary army of workers and peasants in eastern Shaanxi and the Red Guards finally retreated into the Qinling Mountains because they were outnumbered. In the battle, Lian Yimin (director of the political department), Wu Haoran and Xue Zishuang, deputy head of the Red Guards in eastern Shaanxi, died heroically. In July, the revolutionary army of workers and peasants was besieged by the Kuomintang army Li Huchen's department in Baoan Town, Luonan County, and Tang Shu died. During this period, the Shandong Special Committee decided to cancel the designation of the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants, and the troops led by Xu Quanzhong were temporarily returned to the Kuomintang Liu Wenbo Division to preserve their strength. In August, the troops led by Xu Quanzhong were scattered after entering Dengxian County, Henan Province, and the uprising failed.

Historical significance

The Hua Wei Uprising was led by the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee after the failure of the Great Revolution, and it was one of the uprisings with great influence in the whole country. This uprising dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the reactionary ruling class in the northwest and inspired the fighting spirit of the people in the northwest. At the same time, it also educated and trained Shaanxi people, trained political and military cadres, and accumulated experience for the later establishment of the northwest revolutionary base area.
