In September 1934, the 25th Red Army assembled in Taojiahe, Yingshan County, Huanggang, Hubei, where it completed reorganization and training, laying the groundwork for its subsequent strategic relocation and embarkation on the Long March. In late October 1934, the 25th Red Army fought enemy forces at Niubeijigu Mountain in Taojiahe. This unit, whose soldiers had an average age of under 18, fought courageously, resisting repeated attacks by aircraft and artillery with their own flesh and blood. After the Battle of Niubeijigu, local villagers risked their lives to take wounded Red Army soldiers into their homes and treated them with local Chinese medicinal herbs.
