historical background

The former site of the general detachment of the West Road of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army is located at No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 of Wuxing road and No. 58 of xihou street in Urumqi. There are four groups of civil bungalows with civil structures, all of which are dome shaped gates. The No. 5 courtyard of the headquarters covers an area of 1436 square meters. The former site is now the second middle school of Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, the 27th Middle School of Urumqi City, Corps Hospital, corps automobile transportation station and other units.

After the victory of the Red Army in the Long March, the West Route Army of the Red Army started to open up the international channel from Hexi corridor to the Soviet Union through Xinjiang, according to the orders of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. Because the cavalry troops of Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing of the Kuomintang army pursued and "suppressed", the West Route Army was isolated and outnumbered, and defeated at the foot of Qilian Mountain. Only the rest of the left detachment of the West Route Army, led by Li zhuoran, Li Xiannian and Cheng Shicai, successively arrived at XINGXINGXIA in April 1937, and arrived in Xinjiang under the support of Chen Yun, the representative of the Chinese Communist Party in Xinjiang. The rest of the left detachment was stationed in Fumin yarn factory (now Xinhua Printing Factory 1) on the west side of Dihua (now Urumqi) people's Park and Danfeng Chaoyang Pavilion in today's people's Park, and later moved to xihou street outside Xiaodongmen. During the Anti Japanese War, with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the left detachment of the Western Route Army was reorganized into the general detachment of the Western Route Army, under which there were cadre troops and four brigades, known as the "new barracks" to the outside world, and subordinate to the establishment of Sheng Shicai's troops. From 1937 to 1940, the general branch of the West Route Army, following the instructions of the Party Central Committee to "strictly observe discipline and study with ease", systematically studied military, cultural and political theories in Xinjiang, especially modern military technologies such as artillery, radio, armored vehicles, automobiles and aviation. In January 1940, under the instruction of the Party Central Committee, most of the personnel returned to Yan'an in batches and went to the front line of Anti Japanese war. In June 1946, with the rescue of the CPC Central Committee and the efforts of patriotic general Zhang Zhizhong (then director of Northwest Xingyuan of the national government and chairman of Xinjiang Province), the remaining personnel were transferred to work in Xinjiang government departments, and then were put into prison by Sheng Shicai. Together with the disabled and 131 other CPC members (2 died on the way), they returned to Yan'an.

In 1999, the municipal Party committee and people's Government of Urumqi decided to rebuild the courtyard No. 58 of xihou Street (the former medical communication class of the general detachment of the West Road army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army) at No. 37 of xihou street, and named it the memorial hall of the general detachment of the West Road army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. On June 30, 2001, the exhibition hall was officially opened. It consists of 17 rooms surrounded by quadrangles. There are nearly 200 historical pictures and 10 pieces of weapons, daily necessities and books used by the officers and soldiers of the left detachment of the West Route Army. The contents of the exhibition hall are divided into four parts: victory of the Long March, being ordered to cross the Yellow River westward, formation of the West Road army, xuewo journey, entering Xinjiang, creating brilliance again, and eternal spirit.

In 1962, the memorial hall of the general detachment of the West Route Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army was announced by the people's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as a cultural relic protection unit of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. In 2008, it was announced by the Propaganda Department of the Party committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as a patriotic education base of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Basic Display

The basic exhibition of the memorial hall of the general detachment of the West Route Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army vividly reproduces the historical facts that after the defeat of the West Route Army in the Qilian Mountains, more than 400 people from the left detachment of the West Route Army led by Li Xiannian entered Dihua (today's Urumqi City) and formed the general detachment of the West Route Army of the workers' and peasants' Red Army, which is known as the "new barracks". The "new barracks" has become the base for our party to cultivate and train our army's special talents in Xinjiang.
