Its predecessor was advanced by the Red Army Minzhu Military Region in the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the 4th and 5th Detachment of Chiang Kai-shek in the Southwest against the Japanese in the Red Army in southwest China, and the 3rd Regiment of the Minnan Independence Army in the Red Army. In February 1938, this part of the Red Army units persevered in the struggle in southern Fujian and southwestern Fujian and reorganized them into the 2nd Detachment of the New Fourth Army in Baitu Town, Longyan, Fujian Province, and administered the 3rd and 4th regiments. The fourth regiment later developed into the 23rd Army.
