Looking at the history of the formation of the first, second and fourth armies, we can realize that the Red Third Army did not form the third army alone because it was merged into the first army; The Fourth Front Army was directly developed from the Red Fourth Front Army, and its ranks have not changed. This is the cause of the special historical phenomenon that the Red Army has no Third Front Army.
