On April 27, 1932, Peng Dehuai, Li Mingrui, and Teng Daiyuan led over 5,000 troops of the Third Red Army Corps from Niedu in Chongyi County, Jiangxi, to capture Changjiang Town in Renhua, eliminating over 100 enemies and capturing more than 200 rifles. They then advanced toward Rucheng in Hunan via Chengkou Town. These slogans were written when the Third Regiment, Fourth Battalion of the Third Red Army Corps occupied Chengkou.
