Due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, after three days and three nights of bloody fighting, the uprising unfortunately failed, and more than 5,700 Communists and revolutionary masses were brutally killed in the uprising. The Guangzhou Uprising was a great attempt to establish a people's regime. It was connected with the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and became the great beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's independent leadership of the revolutionary war and the creation of the people's army.
