In July of the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), when the National Revolutionary Army, co-led by the Kuomintang, pledged its Northern Expedition in Guangzhou, the Chongqing Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China, in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, used the Kuomintang Lotus to The Chi Provincial Party Headquarters (left wing) convened a military meeting in Chongqing in name, and secretly waited for an opportunity to hold the "Lushun Uprising", that is, to organize the Sichuan Army uprising in Shunqing (now Nanchong City), Luzhou and Hechuan to cooperate with the Northern Expedition. In mid-November, the Military Committee of the Chongqing Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China was established. Yang Anggong, secretary of the prefectural committee and head of the Lianhuachi Provincial Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang, was also the secretary, and Liu Bocheng and Zhu De were members. The battle plan was determined. On December 5, they first started an uprising in Shunqing, and then used Shunqing as a base to attack Suiding (today's Daxian). After eliminating the most stubborn warlord Liu Cunhou, they joined forces with the Northern Dai Army in Wuhan.
The Military Commission decided to hold the Lushun Uprising on December 5. Shunqing and Hechuan launched it first, and Luzhou immediately responded. Liu Bocheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army in Sichuan, and Huang Muyan was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief and concurrently. The commanders of the 1st Route, Qin Hansan, Du Boqian, Chen Lanting, and Yuan Pinwen respectively served as the commanders of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Routes. After the uprising, the Lu and He troops went to Shunqing, centralized reorganization, and then sent their troops into Henan to cooperate with the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Will annihilate the Beiyang Army. In order to prepare for the uprising, in the summer and autumn, Tong Yongsheng, Deng Zuokai, Chen Yi and others were sent to Lu in two batches to investigate and instigate rebellion. Taking advantage of the contradictions between the 2nd, 4th and 10th mixed brigades of Lai Xinhui, the governor of Sichuan Province and commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Border Force, the Military Commission decided to use the progressive 4th brigade of Yuan Pinwen as the basic team, combined with Chen Lanting's 10th brigade. , eliminate the 2nd Brigade of Lai Xinhui's confidant Li Zhangfu. In late November of the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), Lai Xinhui learned that Yuan, Chen and Li were not on good terms. Yuan's thoughts were left-leaning, and Chen Su was jealous of Li. He ordered Yuan to move to Jiangjin in order to separate it. Yuan Ji and Chen Mi planned an early uprising on December 1, and the Luzhou Uprising broke out. Yuan Pinwen, who was stationed in Lantianba that day, trapped Li on the pretext of inviting military and political officials to attend the graduation ceremony of his sergeant training school. At around 16:00, Yuan and Chen announced an uprising, and their troops occupied the whole city overnight. The Li regiments were defeated and disarmed. Zhang Taozhai, the leader of the second regiment, was killed, and Li Jianhou, the brigade chief of staff, escaped. On December 2, Yuan and Chen sent a nationwide telegram, announcing their appointment as commanders of the 4th and 5th Routes of the Sichuan Army of the National Revolutionary Army and establishing a joint office. Congratulatory messages were sent from various places one after another, and some Sichuan army generals called to break away from the Beiyang warlords. On the morning of the 7th, more than 120 organizations and more than 60,000 people from all walks of life in Lucheng gathered in Xiaojiaochang to celebrate the victory of the uprising.
As for Shunqing, on December 5, warlord He Guanglie was captured alive while he was parading at the playground of Tumen Temple. However, the secret was accidentally leaked and he acted in advance. On December 3, the first shot of the Shunqing Uprising was fired, surrounding He Guanglie at the division headquarters. The enemy panicked and set fire to four streets (Xueyue Street, Red Wall Street, Dadong Street, and Zhengnan Street). He Guanglie disguised himself and fled in chaos. On December 3, Huang Muyan rebelled in Hechuan, and the troops headed for Shunqing. Liu Bocheng followed the army to Nanchong. The rebel army Huang Muyan's tribe, Qin Han San and Du Bo's cadres from Shunqing met in Nanchong. On December 10, more than 7,000 members of the Three Route Rebel Army held a swearing-in meeting in Guoshan Park. At the meeting, the establishment of the general headquarters of the rebel army was announced, and the commander-in-chief Liu Bocheng and the commanders of the various armies were officially inaugurated.
The Shunqing Uprising broke out, shocking the Sichuan warlords. Deng Xihou, Liu Wenhui and others mobilized 1 brigade from Li Jiayu's department stationed in Suining, 4 brigades and two regiments from Luo Zezhou's department in Guang'an, two regiments from Chen Shunong's department in Hechuan, and the remnants of He Guanglie's troops to besiege Shunqing in four directions and engage in an extremely fierce battle. , both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy casualties. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th, Commander-in-Chief Liu Bocheng held an emergency meeting of officers above the battalion level and announced the immediate evacuation of Shunqing. Just as the Shunqing rebels were preparing to evacuate, the Military Committee of the Provincial Committee suddenly sent an urgent message saying: "I hope Commander-in-Chief Liu will lead his troops to hold on and wait for the rendezvous." On the 14th, the enemy dispatched 8 regiments to attack the rebels in three directions. Chen Yi rushed to Luzhou to urge the rebel army to go north to join forces, but Chen Lanting was greedy for Luzhou's huge salt tax and was unwilling to leave. Pi Guangze, the leader of the Yuan Department, was also unwilling to go north. The urgings of Chen Yi and Sichuan Army veteran Chen Dashan were ineffective. The Shunqing uprising army was in an extremely difficult situation. In the afternoon, Liu Bocheng once again convened an emergency meeting of officers above the battalion level and proposed that the insurgent troops abandon Shunqing and march to Suiding. After the Luzhou uprising troops went north to regroup and reorganize, they would then implement the plan to enter Shaanxi. At that time, the officers and soldiers of Qin, Han, and Du Bogan were unwilling to evacuate and insisted on holding on. Liu Bocheng decided to mobilize 4 regiments and 12 battalions from various armies in the uprising, commanded by the three former enemies of Qin and Han Dynasties, to implement a counterattack plan of "concentrating forces to defeat the enemy all the way". On the morning of the 15th, the rebel army launched a counterattack against the enemy Li Jiayu's troops. After fierce fighting, the rebel army pushed the enemy back to the front line of Wangshui Dam, 29 miles away from Shunqing. The war turned for the better. However, before noon, Dai Zongqin, the leader of the Qin and Han Dynasty troops, defected and a gap appeared in the rebel position. Luo Zezhou troops took the opportunity to rush into the city and seize the general headquarters. Li Jiayu's troops took the opportunity to counterattack, but the Qin and Han troops blocked the attack. The regiment leader Yao Yuanduo was shot and died. The rebel army was unable to counterattack the enemy again. In the afternoon, the rebel army set off from Qileya, moved towards Jintai, and left Nanchong. At 9 a.m. on December 16, the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire in Xiaolaojun. Liu Bocheng sent his troops to fight desperately. But in the end, because the enemy was outnumbered, it was difficult to stop the crazy attack of the enemy's "death squads". In the afternoon of the same day, the Shunqing rebels moved to the northeast direction of Mengtai Field.
At dusk, Liu Bocheng, Huang Muyan, Qin Hansan, and Du Boqian held an emergency meeting on the spot to discuss future actions. Liu Bocheng proposed that the rebel army temporarily withdraw from Kaijiang County for consolidation. The Shunqing uprising army was heavily besieged by the warlords and unfortunately failed, and the remaining troops withdrew to eastern Sichuan. Liu Bocheng led more than 2,000 rebels from Mao'er Village in Liangshan to Kaijiang via Dashuba and Hulutan in Da County. On December 22, they arrived in Pu'an in batches. The general headquarters and the First Route Army were stationed in Pu'an Town; The second and third routes are stationed at pagodas and willows. The rebels held high the banner of the new Three People's Principles of "alliance with Russia, alliance with the Communist Party, and support of farmers and workers", carried out anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, and anti-warlord activities, publicized revolutionary theories, distributed progressive books and periodicals printed by the Wuhan National Revolutionary Government, and went deep into the open air Propagate and educate the masses in schools, streets, and rural areas across Jiangsu, inspire progressive teachers, students, and young people to participate in group activities, and actively mobilize and form mass organizations. Wang Jianming, who taught at Nanjigong Primary School in Pu'an, and Gao Xianshu, Fu Zhuoren, Wang Bolu, Jin Jisheng, who studied at Kaijiang Middle School, were absorbed into the Kuomintang (leftist) by the rebels. Huang Muyan and others went to Yongxing Primary School to publicize revolutionary theory to teachers and senior students, and immediately established the Kuomintang district branches in Pu'an and Yongxing, the earliest Kuomintang left-wing organizations in our county. Relying on the backbone, women's associations, student unions and other organizations were successively organized. In the spring of 1927, there were more than 5,000 members of the Farmers' Association in the county. In April, the founding meeting of the "Kaijiang County Farmers' Association" was held at the Peking University playground in Chengxiang (today's Xinning Town) (Zhang Deyuan was elected as the chairman of the Farmers' Association). Nearly ten thousand people attended the meeting. Farmers carried hoes and sickles, workers carried axes, and businessmen entered the venue holding abacus. At the meeting, representatives from all walks of life angrily exposed the warlords' plot to sabotage the Northern Expedition and oppose the revolution.
In mid-January of the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Military Commission Yang Anggong, Zhu De, and Liu Bocheng met in Wanxian County and decided that Liu Bocheng would go to Lu to command the rebel army. Liu Xing arrived in Lu at night and issued a general headquarters announcement on the 24th, and immediately began to rectify the military and civil affairs; he established the general headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army and the Sichuan Army to take over military, political, financial and cultural powers; he reorganized the team and added a 6th Army. Promote Pi Guangguang to commander; set up political departments in each branch, set up political instructors in regiments, and set up party representatives in battalions and companies; implement equality between officers and soldiers and abolish corporal punishment; carry out anti-imperialist and anti-feudal warlord education in the army; strengthen military training and improve military discipline ; Open the "Lu and Na Corps Joint Military and Political School" to train key personnel; rectify local finances, abolish excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, punish corrupt officials, and develop agriculture and commerce; organize students to go deep into streets and villages to widely publicize the national revolution, and win and unite people from all walks of life to support the rebel army . Liu also personally gave speeches at various leagues and schools to promote the October Revolution and Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of "alliance with Russia, alliance with the Communist Party, and support for agriculture and industry." In early May, under Wu Yuzhang's efforts, the Wuhan National Government officially declared the Luzhou and Shunqing uprising armies as the "Temporary Fifteenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army" and appointed Liu Bocheng as commander and Huang Muyan as deputy commander. Sichuan army generals Li Jiayu, Huang Yin, Chen Ding and others called the Wuhan National Government and condemned the warlords for "besieging the armed comrades in Luzhou with heavy troops in an attempt to eliminate the revolutionary forces in Wuhan and Sichuan." Lai Xinhui lost ground and asked Liu Xiang for help. Liu took the opportunity to force him to hand over command.
