History

After Mao Zedong arrived at Wuqi Town, he called Peng Dehuai on the same day: "Wuqi town is already the border of the Soviet area. To the east of this place, there is a red regime, and Baoan City hears that there are red troops, but jinfoping between Wuqi town and Jintang town has more than 100 landlords armed to guard the fort, and plans to send a team to destroy it." The telegram also asked Peng Dehuai to go to Wuqi town the next day to discuss the policy of action, and the second and third columns were under the command of Ye Jianying and Deng FA.

On October 20, Mao Zedong and other leading comrades of the central committee listened to the report of the political commissar of the cavalry regiment of the 26th Red Army in Northern Shaanxi, learned of the serious situation of the erroneous elimination of counter revolutionaries in the northwest Soviet Area, and instructed "to keep people under the knife and stop arresting people.".

Six or seven hundred people were captured and more than 1000 horses were captured.
