At the darkest time in China's history and the most suffering of the people, many people stood up for the founding of New China, and many of the things they did were quite incredible from the perspective of modern people.
It is precisely under the leadership of the correct path of the Communist Party of China that these individuals can exert their full potential, and Zhou Junming is a very representative one.
Zhou Junming's life was bumpy, from the army of Feng Yuxiang in the old society to the Red Fifth Army, and then from the disbanded Red Fifth Army to Henan to carry out revolutionary work, the starting point of his career was full of historical twists and turns.
Zhou Junming, who was arrested in Henan, and the paralyzed enemy of the virtual and the snake, signed a "confession of guilt" and promptly reported the problems that occurred in the Henan Provincial Party Committee to the central authorities, and then he carried out arduous revolutionary work in Henan.
From seven people with three guns, to hundreds of people, and dozens of people who were beaten back, and then to 1200 people, what Zhou Junming saw in his life was indomitability and resistance. After liberation, due to unfair suspicion, the focus of his work shifted from the military to water conservancy, animal husbandry and other aspects of people's livelihood, and Zhou Junming, who died at the age of 102, was worthy of the party and the people in his life.
A tortuous early experience of the revolution
Zhou Junming was born as a farmer, and with his bravery under General Feng Yuxiang, he became the battalion commander of the old army, he studied private school for several years when he was a child, and in the old army's military career, he saw the people's suffering, and after accidentally coming into contact with the Marxist concept, he believed that only communism could save China.
Zhou Junming's Kuomintang 26th Route Army launched the Ningdu Uprising in December 1931, and Zhou Junming was the main participant in the uprising, which was a heavy blow to the kuomintang's counter-momentum, and the units of the uprising were organized into the Fifth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, in which Zhou Junming served as the regimental commander.
However, due to various reasons, Zhou Junming's regiment was withdrawn, and he himself changed from regimental commander to an idle person with no organizational relationship, and Zhou Junming also returned to his hometown of Qishan County during this period, and soon became the secretary of the Qishan County Party Committee.
At that time, the secretary of the communist county party committee was a high-risk occupation under the enemy occupation, and Zhou Junming worked hard to develop the party organization and expand the influence of the communist party in southern Henan, but soon he found that he could not contact the central government
。
It turned out that Comrade Rand Xiu, the liaison officer of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the Central Committee, was arrested by Kuomintang agents at that time, and due to the defection of the secretary of the Henan County Party Committee, the work of the entire Henan Provincial Party Committee of the Central Committee was greatly damaged, and in 1935, Zhou Junming was unfortunately arrested in Luohe.
At that time, the situation was critical, and the Communist Party organizations in Hubei did not know that the Henan Party Committee had been completely polluted and were still in contact with them.
Under these circumstances, Zhou Junming wrote a letter of repentance on himself, and then secretly contacted the Party Central Committee to tell the Central Committee what had happened to the Henan Provincial Party Committee, avoiding the further expansion of the damage caused by the traitors
Step by step solid organization
Zhou Junming believed that Henan's work needed a capable guerrilla force, and he decided to go alone to the enemy-occupied areas around Qishan and Xinyang to carry out armed struggle, and the party approved his request.
Zhou Junming's guerrillas initially found only seven men, only three guns and two rounds of ammunition, and he continued to fight, attacking the reactionary joint security director in succession and snatching their guns.
On the territory of old China, due to the flooding of the Yellow River and the withering of the people's livelihood, the people's normal social production was greatly destroyed, and the people lived in deep water.
This gave Zhou Junming's armed struggle a solid mass base, the struggle was brutal, the first seven guerrillas, soon left with himself and another man named Lao Wang.
With the japanese unification and brutality, Zhou Junming's ranks continued to grow, soon reaching hundreds of people, at this time Chiang Kai-shek under the pressure of domestic patriotic forces, because the Xi'an incident promised to establish a second revolutionary united front, Zhou Junming heard the news, he was afraid that this was a Conspiracy of the Kuomintang, personally went to the Yan'an Central Committee to obtain the latest anti-war policy.
When he returned to Henan from Shaanxi, the guerrillas were weakened by the Japanese to 40, but the seeds of revolution had already been sown, and the land of southern Henan was full of seeds of resistance against Japan, and the masses were vying to join Zhou Junming's guerrillas.
His armed forces lacked weapons, basically relying on the capture from the enemy to meet the demand for ordnance, in such a difficult situation, Zhou Junming's team still grew to 1200 people,
They attacked everywhere, destroyed the communication lines of the Japanese occupation forces, ambushed the puppet army, and became an active anti-Japanese armed force in southern Henan
The second united front first gave Zhou Junming's army the organization of the Eighth Regiment of the New Fourth Army, and later became the Second Division of the New Fourth Army, and Zhou Junming himself became the chief of staff of the Second Division.
Zhou Junming successfully used 7 people, without the material support of the central authorities, with the revolutionary fighting spirit and the revolutionary masses influenced by the party's policies, to develop the strength of a whole division, which is rare in the history of our army's War of Resistance.
He is not in the military and still single-mindedly serves the people
After the Anhui Incident, the Kuomintang began a frenzied attack on the New Fourth Army, zhou Junming's second division began to fight against a new enemy, and Zhou Junming himself was transferred to marshal Chen Yi's side as deputy chief of staff.
In 1948, the Communist Party of China launched a nationwide strategic counteroffensive, and Zhou Junming and his Second Division were present in the Battle of Huaihai and the Battle of Crossing the River. As a cadre in charge of the logistics of the entire campaign, he brilliantly adjusted the logistics support work of Erno and Mino and ensured the victory of the entire campaign.
1955 was the time when the national general was awarded the medal, but Zhou Junming, who could at least get the rank of lieutenant general, disappeared from the list of generals, and it turned out that in 1935, in order to save the party organization, he signed a confession with the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang.
Zhou Junming was transferred from the army system in 1954 and became a subordinate of Fu Zuoyi, responsible for water conservancy work in the Ministry of Water Resources, after which his life was almost isolated from the army, and he has been working in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Animal Husbandry Department and other livelihood units.
It was not until the smashing of the Gang of Four that some of his problems were revealed, and he also served as chairman of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from 1979 to 1983.
In 1999, the 97-year-old was moved to tears when he saw the military parade for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which reminded him of the passionate years when he formed a guerrilla group in southern Henan, remembered the career of fighting devils and fighting the Kuomintang, and four years later, the 102-year-old man died in Zhengzhou, completing his heroic life.
epilogue:
Zhou Junming's life has been full of ups and downs
He received an old-fashioned cultural education in private schools, served as a regimental commander in Feng Yuxiang's army, and became a staunch communist after he came into contact with the content of communist ideas.
The famous Ningdu Uprising in which he took part was one of the important early victories of our Party. As a result of the withdrawal of his army, Zhou Junming became an officer without soldiers, and he returned to his hometown to engage in grass-roots work in the party, and was detained by the Kuomintang government.
In order to let the Central Committee know the true situation of the Henan Provincial CPC Committee, he wrote a "confession of guilt" against his will, which became the ideological baggage for the second half of his life, and later when he went to work in Henan, Zhou Junming consciously avoided his original work, and in order to prove his loyalty to the party's cause, he single-handedly formed an armed contingent in southern Henan, fought the Japanese, fought the Kuomintang, followed him first seven guerrillas, and finally all died on the battlefield.
Zhou Junming is writing a song of loyalty to the party's cause with his life
After several twists and turns, Zhou Junming's armed forces grew to 1200 people, with the name of the New Fourth Army, this team made great contributions in the Liberation War, Zhou Junming was under marshal Chen Yi's deputy chief of staff, painstakingly for the army's logistical supplies, after the liberation he was unjustly kicked out of the army system, Zhou Junming was still loyal to the party's cause, exerting his own energy on different fronts, there is no doubt that he is a revolutionary who always puts the interests of the people first.
