In June, 1929, 1 1, the Central Military Department issued instructions: "If it is more convenient to develop in western Hubei, or Wuhan is more chaotic, you can join forces with the Red Army in western Hubei." After receiving instructions, the Special Committee of Western Hubei and the Front Committee of Western Hunan and Hubei actively prepared to join forces.
1February, 930, Wan Tao, deputy secretary of the special Committee of western Hubei and minister of organization department, arrived in Hefeng, and further conveyed the instructions of the Central Committee on the meeting of the two armies to the front committee of the Red Fourth Front Army. The Front Committee of the Red Fourth Front Army immediately decided to move eastward. In addition to leaving an independent group to persist in fighting on the border of Hunan and Hubei, more than 4,000 people from the main force of the whole army left Hefeng and headed for Songzi and Gongan.
On July 3rd, the Red 4th Army learned that the Red 6th Army had occupied the public security county, that is, it set out from Xizhai on the 4th and went straight to the public security through Hazuki K? Zu and other places. When the avant-garde battalion entered the lion's mouth, it met a battalion sent by the Red 6 Army to look for the Red 4 Army. In the afternoon, the heads of Gongliu Corps, such as Kuang Jixun, Liu Keming and Xu Guangda, met He Long outside the west gate of Gongan County, and they met successfully.
On July 7, the front committees of the two armies held a joint meeting in Nanping Confucian Temple. According to the instructions of the Central Committee, the Red 4 and 6 armies were co-edited as the Red 2 Army, and formed the Red 2 Army Front Committee with Zhou Yiqun as its secretary. He Long was appointed commander-in-chief of the Corps, Zhou Yiqun was appointed general political commissar of the Corps, Liu Keming was appointed director of the political department, and Sun Deqing was appointed chief of staff. On July 8, a celebration meeting of nearly 10,000 people was held on the beach outside the north gate of Nanping.
