Gao Gang said to Zhang Wentian, Let's go to Harbin to find Chen Yun

On November 20, 1945, Gao Gang, Zhang Wentian (Luo Fu), Li Fuchun, Wang Heshou, and Kaifeng, who had been sent by the CPC Central Committee to work in the northeast, arrived in Shenyang, where the Northeast Bureau was located.

When the Organs of the Northern Manchuria Branch Bureau were withdrawn from Harbin to Bin County, Chen Yun received a telegram from the Northeast Bureau, asking, "Where did Gao Gang and Luo Fu come to find you?" "Chen Yun called back to say that he was still meeting in Harbin, where the Soviet army was stationed, because there were bandits everywhere in the countryside at that time, and it was advisable for the Red Army to send a car to Bin County to pick up Chen Yun and go to Harbin to meet."

Gao Gang and Zhang Wentian came this time because they had a dispute with some leaders of the Northeast Bureau in Shenyang over the northeast work policy.

Gao Gang and Zhang Wentian's opinion was: Since the Soviet Union wants to fulfill the Sino-Soviet treaties and agreements it signed with the Kuomintang government and hand over Shenyang and other big cities to the Kuomintang, now the Kuomintang troops have occupied Shanhaiguan, the balance of forces is stronger than the enemy and we are weak, and we lack a mass base, so we should avoid the big cities and go to the countryside to mobilize the masses and establish base areas. Another view is that the big cities cannot be abandoned, and that the Red Army of the Soviet Union should support our Party and our army. The two sides fought red-faced.

Gao Gang said to Zhang Wentian, Let's go to Harbin to find Chen Yun.

In this way, they climbed on a Soviet coal train, sat on the ground, and braved the biting cold wind to come to Harbin.

On November 26, the day after Gao Gang and Zhang Wentian went to Harbin to find Chen Yun, the Northeast Bureau sent a telegram to the CPC Central Committee and proposed that Zhang Wentian be appointed secretary of the CPC Hejiang Provincial CPC Committee, Gao Gang as commander of the Northern Manchuria Military Region, and Chen Yun concurrently as political commissar. At the same time decided: "Northeast

Bureau organs Luo (Rong Huan), Peng (Zhen), lin feng first went to Benxi, and after Fushun lurked, the counter-revolutionary forces were completely eliminated, and then turned to Fushun", "The work of Eastern and Southern Manchuria is temporarily directly under the Northeast Bureau"!

In Harbin, Chen Yun, together with Gao Gang and Zhang Wentian, seriously and fully discussed the current situation and the work policy for the northeast in a small building in Nangang ——— the secret organs of the North Manchuria Sub-Bureau. They jointly sent a telegram to the Northeast Bureau and forwarded it to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Systematically articulate their opinions.

The telegram was drafted under the auspices of Chen Yun. It first analyzes the basic policy of the USSR towards the Northeast:

"From the experience of three months, we can already see that the Soviet policy toward Manchuria basically consisted of two aspects: on the one hand, the three major cities of Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin and the main railway line in Changchun were handed over to the Kuomintang; on the other hand, it was to assist the development of our Party's power in Manchuria. Maintaining peace in the Far East and peace in the world was the basic aim of this soviet policy. In a certain period of time, due to changes in international and domestic conditions and the needs of struggle tactics, the degree to which the Soviet Union is concerned about the implementation of the Sino-Soviet agreement and the degree of assistance to us will change. But the essence of these Soviet policies is consistent and unchanging. ”

They believed that the assistance of the Soviet Army was one of the favorable conditions for winning the advantages of the Chinese Communist Party in the northeast. "But if we want to achieve this goal, we must go through a process of arduous struggle against the Kuomintang. It is necessary to prevent the idea among the cadres that they can gain all of Manchuria without serious struggle, and to avoid placing all their hopes on Soviet aid, blind optimism or pessimistic disappointment over the temporary increase or decrease in soviet aid. ”

According to the fact that after the Kuomintang troops occupied the line from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou with the active support of the United States, they prepared to advance to the three major cities of Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin and the changchun road trunk line, and the Soviet Union demanded that the Chinese Communist forces withdraw from the three major cities and return the received political power

In fact, he pointed out that the basic principle of the CPC's current work in Manchuria is to establish a vast base area for consolidation.
