Historical deeds

As soon as the Soviet government in Gepai town was established, it immediately organized the poor people to carry out a vigorous revolutionary struggle. With the slogan of "five resistances" of resisting taxes, taxes, debts, grain and soldiers, propaganda organizations should mobilize the masses to fight against local tyrants, divide land and float money, and solve the vital interests of the working masses. On the second day of the Lunar New Year (February 5), the Political Department of the headquarters of the 25th Red Army issued a notice on the issue of commercial policy. First of all, it attacked the bullies who monopolized the market in the rampant countryside, restricted the development of the "fengyuanhe" shop and the meat shop run by the director of the joint insurance company in Gepai town street. Instead of collecting 50 stone (10000 kg) grain from the "fengyuanhe" shop, they all fell into the theater in Gepai town street In front of the square, presided over by the Soviet government, distributed to the local poor. There was a poor man in gepaigou named Wang Laoliu, who came to Gepai town to sell firewood. When he returned, the Red Army gave him a load of grain in the name of the Soviet government. The district Soviet government also distributed the grain, cotton padded clothes and money of the rich owners in liyuangou, Jinping, tiesuoqiao, Qilidian and wafangzhuang to the local people. On the other hand, other small and medium-sized businesses on the street should be protected, actively supported and developed to stabilize market trade and promote commodity circulation and prosperity. This move won the support of the masses. After they got the grain and clothing from the Soviet government, they were very grateful and decided to turn over with the Soviet government. The villagers all said that the Soviet government was working for the welfare of the poor. They praised: the Soviet government and the KMT government are two great powers. The Soviet government is fighting against the rich and helping the poor, sharing food and property, while the KMT government is sending money to the strong men and extorting money to harm the people In addition, in order to relieve the sufferings of the masses, get rid of the historical status of being enslaved for a long time, and encourage the revolutionary fighting spirit of the masses, the Soviet government, according to the strong demands of the local masses, suppressed the puppet joint security director who bullied the people, insulted the masses and was responsible for evil deeds, the puppet writer of Lantian County Government (grain collector) and several evil gentry of wafangzhuang, which did great harm to the people and shocked the enemy.

Revolutionary struggle

The families of the army and the people support the Red Army

According to the needs of the revolutionary struggle at that time, the Soviet government of Gepai town set up a secret red traffic station in Gepai town. At that time, there were not many people who knew about the existence of the traffic station. Several people in the street served as traffic officers, responsible for transmitting letters, documents and messages, and ensuring the communication between the Red Army and its superior. In order to defend the hard won Soviet government, consolidate the newly established revolutionary base of Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi, and support the Red Army, the gepaizhen Soviet government used a batch of guns and ammunition handed over by the Red Army to establish the revolutionary armed forces of the people, the red guards, with Tian Yindou, chairman of the regional Soviet government, as commander of the red guards. This poor man's own team soon developed from 200 to more than 500 people. They were armed with long guns, knives and spears. Based in Gepai Town, they were active in the border areas of Lantian, Shang county (now Shangzhou District), Zhashui, Shanyang and Zhen'an counties. They cooperated with the guerrillas to fight against the enemy. They twice burned the nearby militia's blockhouses and turrets, fought local tyrants, punished corrupt officials and protected the interests of the masses And the red regime. The masses of the poor demanded to join the red guards.

The earliest red regime is forever in history

Because of the establishment of the red political power in Gepai town and the strong support of the local people, the red 25th army, which came from the long march in Henan Province, was repossessed here. Gepai town also became a turning point in the history of the heroic army, from forced long march to active attack, effectively smashed the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" and turned a new page in the history of the long march of the red 25th army. In July 1935, the main force of the 25th Red Army left Zhongnanshan and went north to fight on the outside line. It soon entered Northern Shaanxi and arrived early to welcome the main Red Army of the Central Committee. From early February 1935 to now, the Soviet government of Gepai town lasted more than six months. The Soviet government in Gepai Town, Hubei Henan Shaanxi revolutionary base, was the earliest red regime established by the Communist Party of China in Guanzhong area. The people in the revolutionary base areas of Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi fought side by side with the Red Army. The revolutionary struggle of the people in the old area of Lantian cooperated with the revolutionary movements in the Soviet areas of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Northern Shaanxi, and made immortal contributions to the northward movement of the Central Red Army.
