In Gaomuchong, Chaoyang Village, Zhongsha Township, 44 kilometers from Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, there is a brick and wood structure, a swastika-shaped ordinary bungalow. This simple house is the former residence of the famous Red Army general Huang Gongluo.
Huang Gongluo was born in 1898 to a peasant family in Xiangxiang, Hunan. In 1916, he joined the Xiang Army and served as a platoon leader and company commander. In 1926, he participated in the Northern Expedition and made great achievements in the capture of Wuchang City and other battles. At the end of the same year, he entered the senior class of the Whampoa Military Academy. In 1927, he participated in the Guangzhou Uprising. He joined the Communist Party of China in the same year.
In July 1928, Huang Gongluo, together with Peng Dehuai and others, led the Pingjiang Uprising, and served as a party representative of the 4th Regiment of the 13th Division of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and later served as the leader of the 2nd Column of the 5th Red Army. In November of the same year, after the main force of the Fifth Red Army went to Jinggangshan, he led his troops to remain in the pingjiang and Liuyang areas to mobilize the masses, carry out guerrilla warfare, and create the Xiang'e-Gansu District. In September 1929, he was appointed deputy commander of the Fifth Red Army, and participated in the red fifth army's combat operation of opening up the southeastern Hubei region to the north and opening up the connection with the XiangganSu District to the south, expanding the Xiang'e-Gansu Soviet Region.
In early 1930, Huang Gong was appointed commander of the Sixth Red Army. This is a unit formed by local armed forces, with complex composition, strong local concepts, and strong guerrilla habits. In order to build a good contingent, Huang Gongluo grasped both military and political affairs, and soon turned it into a main force of the Red Army. When carrying out guerrilla warfare in southwest Jiangxi, Huang Gongluo, in the name of himself and Chen Yi, issued a six-character "Bulletin of the Headquarters of the Sixth Army of the Red Army," stating that "armed guerrilla warfare is carried out, landlords and gentry are purged, land is thoroughly distributed, and poor peasants are given." The announcements had a great impact in the southwestern region of Gansu. Mao Zedong's poem in "Butterfly Love Flowers from Tingzhou to Changsha" says, "There is a red corner on the other side of ganshui, and the partial division relies on Huang Gongluo", which is a praise for the excellent situation and contributions created by Huang Gongluo's leadership of the Red Sixth Army in southwest Jiangxi.
In the summer of 1930, the Red Sixth Army was reorganized into the Red Third Army, with Huang Gongliu as the commander of the army, and merged with the Red Fourth Army and the Red Twelfth Army to form the Red First Army. Since then, Huang Gongluo led the Red Army to fight under the direct command of Mao Zedong and Zhu De, becoming a famous general, and together with Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and Peng Dehuai, he was known as "Zhu, Mao, Peng, and Huang".
In the first to third anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns in the Central Soviet Region, Huang Gongluo resolutely implemented the strategic policy of enticing the enemy to penetrate deeply, commanded the Three Red Armies to fight bravely, and made many achievements in battle. In the Battle of Longgang, the continuous attacks of the Nationalist Eighteenth Division were repelled, the enemy 28th Division and other units were annihilated in the Battle of Tomita, and the independent brigade of the enemy Ninth Division was annihilated in the Battle of Laoyingpan.
On September 15, 1931, huang Gongluo was attacked by enemy aircraft at Ji'an Donggu Liudu Pass while commanding troops, and unfortunately was shot and killed at the age of 33. Although Huang Gongluo's life was short, he always selflessly dedicated himself to the cause of the party and the people, and showed the heroic courage and lofty spirit of the revolutionaries in the revolutionary struggle.
