1928 On May 25th, the Central Committee issued Document No.51-Military Work Outline (adopted the resolution of the enlarged meeting of Guangdong Provincial Committee on military issues).

The outline stipulates: "The establishment of the Red Army has become an important task, and it is not necessary to wait until the riots in one province and one country are successful. As long as separatist regions can be established, the work of establishing the Red Army should be started.

The Red Army established in the separatist region can be officially named the Red Army, and the name of the original revolutionary army of workers and peasants can be abolished. "Special attention must be paid to the political work of the Red Army." "The Red Army should be supervised by the Soviet Political Committee and be responsible for political work. The political commissar should be a party representative. "
