Chinese Red Army
Armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party from 1928 to 1937 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese Red Army, formally the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army[lower-alpha 1] or just the Red Army, was the military wing of the Chinese Communist Party from 1928 to 1937. It was formed when Communist elements of the National Revolutionary Army splintered and mutinied in the Nanchang Uprising. The Red Army was reincorporated into the National Revolutionary Army as part of the Second United Front with the Kuomintang to fight against the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937–1945. In the later stages of the Chinese Civil War they splintered off once again and renamed the People's Liberation Army.
