At 2:00 on August 1, under the leadership and command of Zhou Enlai, he long, Ye Ting, Zhu De and Liu Bocheng, nanchang uprising began. More than 20000 insurgent troops launched a fierce attack on the enemy's camp. The battle lasted for more than four hours. The insurgents completely controlled Nanchang City, wiped out more than 3000 Nanchang defenders, seized more than 800 machine guns, more than 4000 rifles, more than 700000 bullets and several artillery.
After the success of the uprising, in accordance with the guiding spirit of the CPC Central Committee that the uprising still called for revolution in the name of the left wing of the Kuomintang, the former Committee of the CPC issued the declaration of the members of the Central Committee of the left wing of the Kuomintang, exposing various crimes of Chiang Kai Shek and Wang Ching Wei's betrayal of the revolution, expressing their determination to support Sun Yat Sen's "three major policies" and to continue their struggle against imperialism and feudal warlords. On the morning of the same day, a joint meeting was held with the participation of members of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, representatives of the special cities of various provinces and regions and overseas party departments. A revolutionary committee of the Kuomintang, composed of 25 people, including Song Qingling, Zhou Enlai, he long, ye Ting and Zhu De, was established. Documents such as the August 1 Uprising manifesto were adopted, proposing "overthrow imperialism", "overthrow the old and new warlords" and "land to the tillers" And other revolutionary slogans and platforms.
The fire of Nanchang Uprising quickly spread all over the country and ignited the spark of revolutionary armed struggle all over the country. In order to commemorate this unforgettable day, on July 11, 1933, the Provisional Central Government of the Soviet Republic of China approved the proposal of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and decided that August 1 would be the anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. On June 15, 1949, the Military Commission of the Chinese people's revolution issued an order stipulating that the word "81" should be the main symbol of the flag and emblem of the Chinese people's Liberation Army. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, this anniversary will be renamed the PLA Army Day. August 1 is recorded in history as the anniversary of the birth of the people's army

Ye Ting wrote in prison song:
The door is locked for people to get in and out,
The hole for the dog is open,
A voice cried out:
Climb out, give me freedom!
I long for freedom, but I know it well
How can a human body climb out of a dog's hole!
I just look forward to that day
The fire in the ground is surging,
Burn the coffin with me,
I should be in the heat and blood
Get eternal life.
