Chapter 15 Moved to Shaanxi and Gansu

On April 18, 1932, after the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas rested in Majiabao, Xunyi, they were divided into three and five detachments. Huang Ziwen was appointed as the political commissar of the fifth detachment, Yan Hongyan was the captain, and Yang Chongyuan was the chief of staff. On the 21st of the same month, the five detachments went south to Wuzi District according to the instructions of their superiors.After Huang Ziwen arrived in Wuzi District, he immediately sent people to the head of the district committee to discuss the organization of members of the Farmers' Federation and cooperate with the five detachments to eliminate the Ma'ewangmaochen militia.After the district committee member Wang Quxian arrived, he knew that the district committee had been destroyed by the enemy on the 12th of the same month. Secretary Ma Xianmin was arrested, Wang Maochen fled with the militia, and Huang Ziwen and Yan Hongyan led troops to Wenlong Fort in Ma'e District. At noon on the 22nd, the Wuzi District Agricultural Federation held a meeting to welcome the fifth detachment of the Shaanxi-Gansu Guerrillas in Wenlongbao. "The more than 3,000 people who attended the meeting were all armed, and the darts were lined up like a forest." Chairman, at the same time represent the masses (give a welcome speech). In his speech, the applause of the masses was really like thunder. Du Heng, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, who followed the five detachments to the south, spoke on behalf of the provincial Party committee. The meeting decided: the Sanyuan Party organization, The five detachments and seven representatives from the Wuzi District Farmers' Federation formed a revolutionary committee, planning to carry out the struggle for food distribution and land distribution in the area bordering Sanyuan, Fuping, and Yaoxian County, carry out the task of the agrarian revolution, cancel the enemy's district office, disband the militia, and organize the revolution The committee sent telegrams to the Soviet Central Government and all revolutionary groups across the country, including five resolutions."

So far, the peasants' federation guerrillas, Weibei Special Committee, Weibei Revolutionary Committee, and Sanyuan Central County Party Committee established by the Party in Weibei led the people to carry out armed struggle, build political power, implement agrarian revolution, and develop the base areas in an all-round way.When the Kuomintang learned of this situation, it urgently dispatched the third battalion from Xi'an on the 23rd. It also contacted 200 people from Fuping Hu Jingquan and 1,000 people from the Yaoxian Special Service Regiment.Huang Ziwen and others analyzed the situation. In order to preserve the revolutionary strength, they abandoned the original plan and sent troops northward, skillfully throwing off the enemy.Although Huang Ziwen knew at this time that his wife Li Shengyun had returned to his hometown from Peiping, it was difficult for him to take care of her.

At the end of the same month, in the name of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, Huang Ziwen, Liu Zhidan and others issued a declaration to the revolutionary masses throughout China, condemning the “4.26” tragedy caused by the massacre of revolutionary students by the Kuomintang army in Xi’an, and calling on the workers, peasants and soldiers to arm themselves and overthrow the Kuomintang. Rule and establish a popular regime in order to completely liberate the Chinese nation. On May 10, the third and fifth detachments met in Qingshuiyuan and resumed the general headquarters, with Huang Ziwen as the director of the political department.On the way to the north, the guerrillas were stopped by two companies of the Kuomintang army stationed in Malan, Xunyi.When the battle started, Huang Ziwen and Run Hongyan led five detachments as the main attackers, wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop, seized more than a hundred firearms and countless ammunition, which effectively guaranteed the northward activities.

At the end of June, due to the defeat of the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas in the Hancheng transition, the number of personnel decreased.According to Huang Ziwen's spirit in the resolution of the joint meeting of the provincial party committees in the north, "Among the guerrilla forces that have begun to grow into the Red Twenty-six Army, a large number of workers should be recruited without delay and recruited, poor peasants, and reliable middle peasants." The soldiers of the squad returned to Wuzi District to "expand their popularity". With the assistance of Huang Zixiang, who was in charge of the armed work of the district committee, more than 80 young and middle-aged men signed up to participate in three days, and then concentrated in Xiaodaokou Village, joined the Shaanxi-Gansu guerrillas and grew the armed forces.
