In "The Spark of Stars, Can Burn the Plains", there is such a passage: "Zhu Mao style, He Long style, Li Wenlin style, Fang Zhimin style has a base." The Zhumao-style base area is in Jinggangshan, the Helong-style base area is in western Xiang'e, and the Fang Zhimin-style base area is in northeastern Jiangxi. However, the Li Wenlin-style base area is little known, and it was not until the 1980s that it was proposed by a group of party researchers that it was the Donggu revolutionary base area. Mr. Chen once wrote a poem praising the Donggu base area: "Donggu Mountain is high, and the peaks are like barriers. This is Dongjinggang, which will teach the world strongly. ”
Donggu is located in the southeast of Ji'an County, on the mountain border at the junction of Ji'an, Jishui, Yongfeng, Xingguo, Taihe and five counties. With Dongguwei as the center, it stretches for more than 30 miles and is dotted with large and small villages such as Luokeng, Liudu, Huangsha, Nanlong and Sancai.
Donggu is surrounded by Yangjun Mountain, Dongyuan Ridge, Fangshi Ridge, Jiu inch Ridge and other large mountains distributed in the east, west, south and north, with lofty mountains, overlapping peaks, dangerous terrain, and inconvenient transportation. Local residents rely on five sheep gut trails that wind and turn to the outside of the mountain. Daily necessities are also transported by small traders over the mountains. However, the Donggu Basin has sufficient water, fertile soil and abundant products, rich in rice, tea, oil tea, oil tung, moso bamboo, fir, medicinal herbs, etc., and local farmers live a closed and self-sufficient life.
Therefore, when the Red 4th Army, which was surrounded by enemies and exhausted, went to Donggu under the leadership of "Zhu and Mao" and met with the independent 2nd and 4th Regiments of the Jiangxi Red Army, and was warmly received by the soldiers and people in the base areas, the chairman excitedly said that Donggu was very good, it was the second Jinggangshan, and said that "the Red 4th Army is an iron army, and the Red 2nd and 4th Regiments are a steel army.", Donggushan is the new base area where we have left Jinggangshan and arrived, and now Jinggangshan and Donggushan are finally connected, and finally we must unite the whole of China, and the Chinese revolution must be victorious! At this moment, Mr. Chen, who was overjoyed, did not forget to give a poem: "Donggu Mountain is high..."
Then, next, Lao Ding will tell you who are the founders of the Donggu Revolutionary Base Area?
Before officially speaking of the founder, we must not forget the comrades who first engaged in revolutionary activities in the Donggu area, because everything is passed down.
The first person to engage in revolutionary activities in the Donggu area was called Lai Jingbang, a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, born in 1899, who studied in donggujian Dongshuyuan and Ji'an Provincial Seventh Normal School in his early years, joined the party in 1926, was sent to Donggu to engage in the peasant movement after the Northern Expedition, and later incorporated the green forest armed forces of Donggu to form the Seventh Column of the Jiangxi Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, serving as a party representative and chief of staff. On June 30, 1928, he led the 7th Column to attack the Fengbian JingWei Regiment, and was surrounded and captured by the enemy during the battle. After being captured, he was awe-inspiring, regarded death as a homecoming, and sacrificed heroically, at the age of 29.
Li Wenlin, an important founder of the Donggu base area, was sent to the Donggu area by the Ganxi Special Committee in September 1928, and was then a member and secretary general of the Ganxi Special Committee.
Li Wenlin is a native of Jishui, Jiangxi, born in 1900. In his early years, he studied at the Jiangxi Provincial Legislative and Political College, followed Comrade Fang Zhimin in the revolution, was admitted to the Manager Section of the Whampoa Military Academy in July 1925, joined the Party during his schooling, and after graduation, he joined the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army and accompanied the Northern Expedition, and after participating in the Nanchang Uprising in August 1927, he carried out armed struggle in Ganxi.
When Lai Jingbang, deputy to the Seventh Column and chief of staff, was martyred, the special committee instructed him to go to the Donggu area and reorganize the seventh and ninth columns of the Red Army in western Jiangxi into the independent 2nd regiment of the Jiangxi Red Army, with him as the regimental commander.
Later, Li Wenlin successively served as a member of the Standing Committee and Secretary of the Military Commission of the Southwest Jiangxi Special Committee, a Member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Soviet Government and Secretary of the Military Commission, a Member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Soviet Government and secretary general of the Party Group, a member of the School Committee and Principal of the Red Army School, a member of the Chinese Revolutionary Military Commission, a secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Action Committee (Provincial Party Committee), and a member of the Jiangxi Provincial Soviet Government.
In October 1930, with the implementation of the Wang Ming line, once, when the Red Army was capturing Ji'an City, while cleaning up enemy documents, a note was found implicated with the family of Li Wenlin, the secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee.
At that time, the Red Army also set up a purge committee, with Li Shaojiu as its director. Everyone may know that Li Shaojiu was very "hardworking" in the anti-rebellion campaign, not only grasping the "AB regiment" in the army, but also pointing the spearhead at the Southwest Jiangxi Special Committee and the Jiangxi Provincial Committee. In Tomita, he successively beat most of the leaders of the Provincial Governor's Committee, the Gannan Special Committee, and the Red 20th Army into the "AB Regiment", which triggered the resistance of the officers and men of the Red 20th Army and caused the "Tomita Incident". However, this incident was recognized by the General Front Committee of the Red Army as a "counter-revolutionary activity".
Therefore, Li Wenlin was arrested as the head of the "AB Regiment", and one of the evidences was that it was said that someone had accused Li Wenlin's father of being a landlord and a "AB Regiment". In May 1932, Li Wenlin was shot by his own people at the age of 32.
There is also a founder named Zeng Bingchun.
Zeng Bingchun, a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi, was born in 1902, studied at the Ji'an Provincial Seventh Normal School in his early years, engaged in the peasant movement after being influenced by progressive ideas, and joined the Party in 1927. After joining Lai Jingbang's Seventh Column, lai Jingbang sacrificed and the Seventh Column was reorganized into the Independent 2nd Regiment of the Jiangxi Red Army, he served as director of the regiment's political department and captain of the political propaganda team, plotted against Luo Binghui, captain of the Ji'an Jing Guard Brigade, and after the establishment of the Red 6 Army, he successively served as a member of the Military Commission of the Red 6 Army and political commissar of the 2nd and 4th Columns, the principal of the Red Army School in Southwest Jiangxi, the commander of the Red Guard Army in southwest Jiangxi, the commander and political commissar of the Red 20 Army.
On May 30, 1932, Zeng Bingchun was wrongly killed on the "charge" of the AB regiment, at the age of 30.
The three main founders of the Donggu revolutionary base area, one sacrificed and two were wrongly killed, and their fate is lamentable. Therefore, although some chairmen praised Donggu as the "second Jinggang" and Mr. Chen praised him as "Dongjinggang", due to the limitations of political vision and people's thinking, the Donggu base area was eventually buried in the long river of history. However, with the passage of time and the wind and rain of history, the objective facts of the existence of the "Li Wenlin-style" Donggu revolutionary base area have finally been revealed, and its contribution to the Chinese revolution is indelible and will certainly be recorded in the annals of history forever.
