After the all-out War of Resistance, the guerrilla forces that had persisted in guerrilla warfare in the south for 3 years needed to go down the mountain and reorganize into the New Fourth Army.
In October 1937, according to the instructions of the central government, Chen Yi arrived
In Nanchang, Ji'an, and other places in Jiangxi Province, red army guerrilla contact offices and communications offices were set up, took the initiative to negotiate with the local Kuomintang authorities on cooperation in resisting Japan, and rushed to the xianggan border, northeastern Jiangxi, and other guerrilla areas to mobilize the guerrillas to go down the mountain and reorganize.
This work is not an easy job, but a very difficult one.
In the past few years, the Kuomintang reactionaries have always tried their best to eliminate the Red Army guerrillas, but now they want to reorganize, and many guerrillas do not accept this reorganization, and some guerrillas are afraid of being fooled by the reactionaries and refuse to go down the mountain.
Chen Yi sent people up the mountain to persuade and was attacked by the guerrillas
As a "traitor"
Killed.
Guan Ying, secretary of the Anhui-Zhejiang-Gansu Provincial CPC Committee, was killed by a guerrilla group in Mopanshan, Yiyang; Ming Anlou, political commissar of the Sixteenth Division of the Red Army, and Lin Meijin, secretary of the CPC's Southeast Hubei Special Committee, were killed by guerrillas in northeastern Jiangxi; and Cao Shuliang, commander of the Xiangnan guerrilla detachment, was killed by the guerrillas on the side of Xianggan.
After Receiving the news, Chen Yi was very anxious and decided to personally go up the mountain to persuade them. Who knows once to the mountain,
Chen Yi was almost killed as a traitor.
In mid-November 1937, it arrived
In the Jiulongshan guerrilla zone on the xianggan side, Duan Huanjing, chief of staff of the Xianggan guerrilla unit, and Liu Peishan, director of the political department, said: "After the 'July 7 Incident,' the situation in China has changed, and the Communist Party of China has put forward a comprehensive line of resistance for the whole nation. At an enlarged meeting held in Fengjia Village, Luochuan, northern Shaanxi, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee adopted the "Decision on the Current Situation and the Party's Tasks," calling on Communist Party members and the armed forces under their leadership to stand in the forefront of the struggle. Chen Yi also explained the "Ten Programs for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country" adopted by the Luochuan Conference article by article, explaining that the party Central Committee instructed the Kuomintang and the Communists to cooperate and unite with the outside world, and that the guerrillas should go down the mountain in a planned and step-by-step manner. ”
After the guerrillas heard Chen Yi's remarks, they all felt justified. However, when we think of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, we think of three years of arduous guerrilla warfare and the brutal "encirclement and suppression" of the reactionary army
The "Four-One-Two" counter-revolutionary massacre ...
At this time, a guerrilla said:
"Chiang Kai-shek dreamed of destroying the guerrillas, so how can we possibly cooperate with him?"
Others say:
"You see, the bottom of the mountain is the Kuomintang army, how can we easily go down the mountain?"
“
Yes, the Xianggan Provincial CPC Committee also wrote to say that without the instructions of the provincial party committee, it is impossible to go down the mountain and make adjustments.
”
Instead of listening to Chen Yi's advice, everyone suspected that they were not party representatives, but rather "traitors."
The guerrillas on Mount Kowloon decided to send Chen Yi to the provincial party committee and asked Tan Yubao, the secretary of the provincial party committee, to deal with it.
Tan Yubao, born in December 1899,
A native of Chaling County, Hunan Province, he threw himself into the revolution in 1926 and joined the Communist Party in 1927, and successively served as the secretary of the fifth, sixth and seventh district party committees of Chaling County, and the secretary of the Cpc's Cha'an Special Zone. In May 1931, he was appointed Chairman of the Government of the Soviets of Chaling County. In August 1932, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Soviet Government of Xianggan Province and Minister of Finance. In April 1933, he became chairman of the Soviet Government of Xianggan Province. In August 1934, after the Red Sixth Army marched west, it was ordered to stay in Xianggan and continue the struggle. In July 1935, he was elected secretary of the Provisional Provincial Party Committee of Xianggan and chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Communist Party of China and the political commissar of the Xianggan Guerrilla Command, and the guerrilla group was increased from three brigades to four brigades and one teaching team. In 1938, he was appointed secretary of the Xianggan Border Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. From 1953 to 1963, he successively served as vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, director of the Supervision Commission, and deputy secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, presiding over the party's discipline inspection work. He died in Beijing on January 10, 1980, at the age of 81.
Chen Yi was sent
After the temporary provincial party committee station in Xianggan in Ganzi Mountain, it was suddenly tied up.
When several people from the Xianggan Provisional Provincial Party Committee were studying how to deal with Chen Yi, Chen Yi, who was tied to the next room, could hear it clearly and shouted loudly: "You can't kill, kill me, you are going to make a big mistake!" ”
The next day, Chen Yi was taken to a forest of people outside the room for a public trial, and Chen Yi was not willing to be tried like this. He took advantage of the opportunity to answer questions,
He and Tan Yubao debated issues such as the anti-Japanese resistance, the restoration of the Jinggangshan base area, class struggle, kuomintang-communist cooperation, and guerrilla reorganization.
Some of the guerrillas were persuaded by him, persuaded
Tan Yubao: "Detain Chen Yi for a few days to see what happens to the enemy down the mountain." ”
The reason for this is because two months ago, one claimed to be
When the traffic officers sent by the party committee of the Xiang'e-Gansu Border Region arrived at the mountain, Tan Yubao warmly entertained him, and as a result, not long after this guy left, the enemy came to encircle and suppress him, causing the guerrillas to suffer a lot of losses, so everyone did not dare to believe Chen Yi.
In the days that followed,
Tan Yubao talked to Chen Yi several times, and gradually felt that his suspicion of Chen Yi was inappropriate. After a few days, the Kuomintang troops under the mountain did not encircle and suppress, but instead retreated.
Tan Yubao decided to send a traffic officer down the mountain to Ji'an to understand the situation.
At that time, Ji'an had already established the Communications Office of the New Fourth Army. When the traffic officer took it back from Jian
When the CPC Central Committee's letter to the comrades of the whole party and the official letter proving that Chen Yi was a party deputy were sent to Tan Yubao, Tan Yubao read the official letter and the documents of the CPC Central Committee, and tears rolled with excitement, and he said in a loud voice: "I was reckless and almost missed a major matter. He personally loosened chen yi and apologized.
Chen Yi waved his hand and said:
"You are a resolute old revolutionary and a good comrade."
After Chen Yi returned to Nanchang, he heard that some comrades thought so
When cooperating with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is "the Kuomintang and the Communist Family," and even when he proposed to "cooperate to the end" with the Kuomintang, he reminded everyone: "We must not be paralyzed, and if we do not do well, 'cooperation' will become 'captured alive.'"
"We can't mention 'cooperation to the end', only 'long-term cooperation'. 3 years and 5 years is 'long-term', and 3 months and 5 months is also called 'long-term'. Only in this way can we strive for the initiative. Cooperation is about concentrating on bringing down the main enemy of the moment. Now national contradictions are the main one, but class contradictions still exist. Cooperation in resisting Japan is conditional, and we must strengthen our own strength. If there is no power, there is no cooperation. ”
During this period of change, Chen Yi has always insisted on standing on the position of the party's correct line, made great contributions, and composed a poem.
"The Second Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China out of Yamaguchi Zhan" transferred to "Sheng Chazi"
After the Ten Years' War, the Kuomintang and the Communists cooperated again.
Looking back at the old people, I have tears on my sleeves.
The anti-Japanese resistance is the center, and democracy can save itself.
Firmly encourage Me, Do not be Chen Duxiu.
In the formation of the New Fourth Army, there were various problems of distrust within the Party, and there were also obstructions from the Kuomintang reactionaries outside the Party.
Just as Chen Yi was ascending Jiulong Mountain, Xiang Ying was also ordered to return to Yan'an.
On December 13, Xiang Ying reported to the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee on the persistence of guerrilla warfare for three years, and the CPC Central Committee immediately issued a "Resolution on the Work of the Guerrilla Zone in the South", pointing out: "The guerrilla units have become one of the best anti-Japanese troops today. This is an extremely valuable victory for the Chinese people. ”
The next day, the Politburo of the Central Committee made a formal decision and was established
Of the New Fourth Army Branch of the Central Military Commission, Xiang Ying served as the chairman of the branch and Chen Yi served as vice chairman.
Mao Zedong proposed the idea for the New Fourth Army:
"The army is temporarily stationed in Wuhan and has set up offices in Nanchang and Fuzhou."
According to Mao Zedong's instructions, Ye Ting came to Wuhan, and on December 23, Ye Ting welcomed two groups of comrades here, Lai Chuanzhu of the New Fourth Army and Xiang Ying, who returned from Yan'an, and others, and began the preparations for the New Fourth Army.
On December 25, 1937, the New Fourth Army Headquarters was formally established in Hankou.
Ye Ting said very happily:
"This is the first New Year after the establishment of the New Fourth Army, and we want to feast on all the cadres at the Villa of Wei Fu in the German Concession. In addition, the cadres from Yan'an were each given 8 yuan to the ocean. ”
Although it is said that the cadres from Yan'an gave 8 yuan each, the funds of the New Fourth Army were very tight, and when Ye Ting first took office, He Yingqin approved 50,000 yuan.
In the process of forming the New Fourth Army, the Kuomintang reactionaries attacked from time to time, creating a lot of trouble for the New Fourth Army.
After New Year's Day, Zhou Enlai found Chiang Kai-shek and asked him to fire a gun at the New Fourth Army.
Chiang Kai-shek said angrily:
"Now, even a bad gun can't be fired."
Song Meiling also smiled and said:
"Let's get a new gun and fire it again!"
The Kuomintang reactionaries not only embarrassed the New Fourth Army in terms of weapons and equipment, but also with the New Fourth Army in terms of its organization and officer allocation.
After Ye Ting became military commander, the Kuomintang never agreed to the central plan for the establishment of the New Fourth Army. Mao Zedong proposed
The "two divisions, four brigades, and eight regiments" also failed to achieve this. Finally, in desperation, it was approved that the New Fourth Army should be "organized into four guerrilla detachments in the first, second, third, and fourth", and Chen Yi, Zhang Dingcheng, Zhang Yunyi, and Gao Jingting were the commanders of the first, second, third, and fourth detachments.
This made Ye Ting very dissatisfied, feeling that he could not follow
Deputy Commander Xiang Ying, Chief of Staff Zhang Yunyi, and Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou Zikun gave explanations.
Regarding the military expenditure of the troops, He Yingqin also began to play a conspiracy. At the beginning, Ye Ting put forward a monthly fund of 166,000 yuan after accounting, but He Yingqin's small eyes narrowed, and he completely ticked off more than 100,000 yuan, and only approved the monthly expenses of 65,000 yuan.
Even the military funds were not given to the New Fourth Army, when the New Fourth Army demanded 10,000 sets
Cotton military uniform
At that time, the Kuomintang side actually said:
"The New Fourth Army fights guerrilla warfare and does not need military uniforms."
Zhou Enlai with Peng Dehuai on January 20
The telegram to the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee said: "Jiang has a tight grasp on people, guns, and money, and does not want our army to expand, and refuses to send guns and money. ”
Zhou Enlai took advantage of various opportunities to negotiate with He Yingqin, and Ye Ting went to Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong again.
After hard work again and again,
The appointment orders of Xiang Ying, Zhang Yunyi, Zhou Zikun, and others were finally approved, and the monthly funding of the New Fourth Army was increased to 90,000 yuan.
However, the difficult battle of the New Fourth Army is still to come.
