由徐向前总指挥率领的红四方面军,撤离鄂豫皖革命根据地以后,经过两个多月的数千里艰苦转战,终于摆脱了敌人几十万大军的围追堵截,于1932年12月12日胜利抵达陕南西乡县。 红四方面军西征到西乡后,由于这里有陈浅伦正在组建红29军,群众基础很好,部队一到就受到了当地党组织和群众的热烈欢迎,家家户户象欢庆盛大节日一样,张灯结彩,欢天喜地,在街头鸣放鞭炮。许多老百姓让房子,把家中仅存的一点粮食、菜油和粗布拿出来,犒劳红军。当时,红军总部驻扎在钟家沟,许世友的34团住私渡河。红四方面军在西乡住定后,总部先决定以陕南为据点,动员和组织群众,建立陕南革命根据地,各部队根据总部的部署,立即行动,一边就地休整,一边开展群众工作。 正当在陕南建立根据地的工作全面展开的时候,部队得到情报:四川军阀正集中主力在成都、内江一带进行混战,川北防务异常空虚。红四方面军总部立即研究了这一情况,经过周密分析,毅然决定抓住有利时机,乘虚挺进川北,集中力量向四川发展,创建以川北为中心的川陕革命根据地。为统一部队的思想,1932年12月15日,红四方面军由徐向前主持在西乡县钟家沟乡的玄天观召开了全军团以上干部会议。 After the Red Fourth Army led by Xu Xiangqian’s commander in chief and evacuated from the revolutionary base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, after fierce battles for thousands of years in more than two months, he finally got rid of the besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops and reached the victory on December 12, 1932 Southern Shaanxi Xixiang County. After the Red Army crossed the West to Xixiang, the Kuomintang was in the process of forming the Red Army 29 and its mass foundation was very good. As soon as the troops arrived, it was warmly welcomed by the local party organizations and the masses. Every household like a grand festival celebrated. Coloring, happy, ringing fireworks in the streets. Many people let the house, the only remaining food in the house, vegetable oil and coarse cloth out, do the Red Army. At that time, the Red Army headquarters stationed in Zhongjiagou, Xu Shiyou 34 groups live in private crossing the river. After the Red Fourth Army resided in Xixiang, the headquarters first decided to use southern Shaanxi as its base to mobilize and organize the masses and establish a revolutionary base in southern Shaanxi. All units immediately took actions based on the deployment of the headquarters and carried out mass work while on the ground. At a time when the work on establishing base areas in southern Shaanxi was in full swing, the troops were informed of the fact that the Sichuan warlords were mainly concentrating their efforts on fighting melee in the areas of Chengdu and Neijiang, and the defense in northern Sichuan was unusually empty. The Red Army headquarters immediately studied this situation. After careful analysis, it decided to seize the favorable opportunity and take advantage of the imperialism to concentrate on the development of Sichuan and establish a revolutionary base in Sichuan and Shaanxi centered on North Sichuan. For the idea of ​​uniting forces, on December 15, 1932, the Red Fourth Army held the all-cadre conference held by the entire army above the Xuantian view hosted by Xu Xiangqian in Zhongjiagou Township, Xixiang County.
