Chapter 11 armed victims

In March 1930, after the news of Huang Ziwen's release from prison reached the Provincial Party Committee, Jiao Zhongming promptly reported Du Heng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee who was on tour in Yulin.Subsequently, the provisional provincial party committee decided to appoint Huang Ziwen as the inspector of Weibei, responsible for the restoration and development of party organizations throughout Weibei. Since the summer of 1928, Weibei has been droughted year after year, "the most severe famine in the whole province, with no harvest in autumn and summer, thousands of miles of bare land, a high degree of panic in politics and economy, commerce withered, and Sanyuan should be considered the richest area in Guanzhong. The business is prosperous, and now due to the famine, more than 5 out of 10 people go out of business... The Sanyuan garrison borrowed a lot for military supplies, and the company with only about 80 yuan of capital sent 40 yuan. Therefore, the whole city of Sanyuan was aroused to strike and revolt, and the rural taxation was even more urgent. , sent officials to the village, as long as the value of one yuan was taken from the family, the peasants were forced to throw themselves into the well and jump off the cliff, and suicides were everywhere. Under such an economic situation, the lives of the masses have become extremely impoverished...so The masses said to comrades in the party: "If you do it, we will do it. If you don't dare, we will join the bandits." If they cannot lead this struggle, the masses will have to let the bandits lead them, so the Provincial Party Committee, based on this objective situation, instructed the Sanyuan Special Branch to unswervingly carry out guerrilla warfare.”

In order to strengthen the leadership of the armed struggle in Weibei, the Provisional Provincial Party Committee summoned the Secretary of the Sanyuan Special Branch of the CPC Central Committee, Weibei Inspector Huang Ziwen, and West Road Inspector Chen Yunqiao to the Provincial Party Committee in late April to study in detail the guerrilla struggle in Weibei The strategy was determined to distribute the land and grain of the landlords and gentry to the peasants immediately after the guerrilla war was launched, restore the "peasant association", establish a revolutionary regime, and strengthen the armed forces.

In early May, after Huang Ziwen and Chen Yunqiao arrived in Sanyuan, they convened a meeting of heads of the Sanyuan Fuping Party Organization in Wuzi District and conveyed the instructions of the provincial party committee.The meeting decided: Huang Ziwen was responsible for forming the armed forces in Wuzi District and went to Gaoling to contact the armed forces led by Wang Xuedao; Li Bingrong went to Sanyuan Pixi Town to contact the armed forces led by Wang Dexiu; Chen Yunqiao, Tian Yuguo, and Shi Shouming went to Fuping to organize the armed forces.When the time is right, a leading organization will be established to act in a unified manner.

After the meeting, after a few days of traveling, Huang Ziwen convened a meeting in Xiyue Temple to expand the original guerrillas and rebuild a "disaster victims self-rescue team" with more than 40 people. On June 14, Huang Ziwen led 11 armed men and dozens of people to destroy the Wuzi District Office, divided the grain of Yue Haizhou, the mayor of Wuzi District 4 and a wealthy gentry, and executed him that night. On June 16, armed forces from various places contacted by Huang Ziwen gathered in Wuzi District.The Wang Dexiu Department was led by Zhang Chengyi (nicknamed Swordsman Sui'er), with more than 30 people and 21 guns; the Wang Xuedao Department was led by Zhao Ganfu, with more than a hundred people and dozens of guns; The Independent Brigade has a total of more than 100 people and more than 50 guns. Most of its members are Communist Party members.On the same day, the "Weibei Disaster Victims Self-Rescue Team" and the general headquarters were established in Taihebao.Chen Yunqiao served as the commander-in-chief and captain, and Huang Ziwen served as the political commissar. There were four brigades, and each brigade was organized into three sub-units.Wang Dexiu, captain of the first brigade, and Li Bingrong, political commissar; Wang Xuedao, captain of the second brigade (replaced by Zhao Ganfu); Liu Tieshan, captain of the third brigade (demonstration); Tian Yuguo, captain of the independent brigade, and Zhang Zhenhe, deputy captain.And established a military branch.Huang Ziwen is also the secretary of the Chinese Communist Party's military branch.The tasks of the Weibei Disaster Victims Self-Rescue Team are: to unite the disaster victims, fight against local tyrants and evil gentry, resist grain, resistance donations, distribute land and grain, and establish a Soviet regime.

After the establishment of the self-rescue team for the victims, they arrested and executed Pan Entong, the magistrate of Yijun County who was passing through Wuzi District on his way back to the province, and seized 7 long and short guns and other property. In late June, the grain of the landlords and gentry was distributed in Chang'aobao, and the original Ma'e Township Office in Wuzi District was destroyed. From the first peasant armed forces organized by Huang Ziwen in Wuzi District in May 1928 to the launch of the Weibei guerrilla war in June 1930, the peasant revolutionary armed forces adopted the tactics of "avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, and attacking the west". The vast area at the junction of Fuping and Yaoxian formed a situation of armed struggle of farmers in Weibei with Wuzi District as the center, and sowed an inextinguishable revolutionary fire.

On July 1, the Shaanxi Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held the fifth enlarged meeting in Gao Primary School, Gongcun, Lantian County, and established a formal provincial party committee. Huang Ziwen was selected as an alternate executive member of the provincial party committee and concurrently served as the director of the military department of the provincial party committee. The development of guerrilla warfare in Weibei and the tide of mass revolutionary struggle greatly shocked the Sanyuan Kuomintang authorities, and urgently dispatched Bi Moxuan and Wang Ping's troops to encircle and suppress Wuzi District.

On July 13, after several battles and dealings with the enemy, Chen Yunqiao led the self-rescue troops of the victims to the Wayaotou area.At this time, Wang Lin (South), member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, came to understand the work situation.At that time, Huang Ziwen was still in Dazhai Fort, Wuzi District with some people.Chen Yunqiao was not familiar with the local geographical environment, so Zhang Chengyi arranged for him to rest temporarily in Fahua Cave beside the plateau.Chen Yunqiao, Li Bingrong and other cadres above the brigade were arranged in a cave dwelling and reported to Wang Lin.During the meeting, Zhang Chengyi, the leader of the First Brigade, suddenly rebelled and surrounded the meeting place in collusion with several local bandits.

After Chen Yunqiao and others escaped from danger, they found Huang Ziwen overnight.Huang Ziwen was very sad when he heard the story, but he persuaded Chen Yunqiao: "It is a trivial matter to be robbed of a gun. As long as there are people, you are lucky. There are people, so why worry about not having a gun! People are the foundation of the revolution! You have been terrified all day. Go to bed quickly, let's talk about it tomorrow!" That night, Huang Ziwen lived in the kiln of Xi Haosheng's house. Xi Haosheng saw him tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he asked, "Second brother, are you still thinking about throwing the gun?" Huang Ziwen said, "Yes! To achieve the success of the revolution, one You need people, and you need guns. During the siege of the city in 1928, Ma Xianzhou betrayed his faith, but this time Zhang Chengyi suddenly rebelled. Like knives, these guns are hard to come by!In order to buy a gun, he persuaded his mother to sell the family's 100 mu of land, trusting people everywhere, and went through all kinds of troubles; for the gun, he disregarded his brother's reputation as the deputy of the regiment, and "stole" from the warehouse of Zhao Shoushan Sanyuan's left-behind office through his relationship; For the gun, he lost his filial piety, and made his own "bitter trick" to deceive his mother...

On July 14, Huang Ziwen, Chen Yunqiao, Shi Shouming, Liu Tieshan, Wang Zhiying and others moved to Fuping Wang Zhiying's house for a meeting to further analyze the situation and study the next step.The final decision: Huang Ziwen is responsible for calling the dispersed personnel, rectifying, and preparing to do it again.Chen Yunqiao went back to the Provincial Party Committee to report the situation and asked for instructions. Since then, because the KMT's Sanyuan garrison continued to search for Communists and guerrillas in Wuzi District, it was difficult to carry out the work, and the revolutionary struggle in Wuzi District was temporarily at a low ebb.
