Late June–early July, 1936

The Second and Sixth Armies of the Red Army arrive in Garzê of Sichuan during the Long March and rendezvous with the Fourth Front Red Army. On July 5, the Second Front Red Army is established, with He Long as commander-in-chief and Ren Bishi as political commissar. Thanks to the proactive attempts of the CPC Central Committee and the struggle and demands of the majority of the officers and soldiers, the Fourth and Second Front Red Armies move north together.
