Chapter 18 Grudge Gao Gang

On October 4, 1933, Liu Zhidan, Huang Ziwen, Wang Shitai, Huang Luobin and others returned to Zhaojin after many hardships and were warmly welcomed by the army and civilians in the base area. Since the Second Regiment of the Red Twenty-sixth Army went south, the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base is in a very critical situation. In July, Wang Taiji, head of the Cavalry Regiment of the Yang Hucheng Department stationed in Yao County, led the troops to revolt in accordance with the instructions of the provincial party committee and with the assistance of the Sanyuan Central County Committee of the Communist Party of China, and established the "Northwest Anti-Japanese People's Volunteer Army". After being frustrated, return the gold.At the same time, the Yaoxian County Committee of the Communist Party of China formed the Yaoxian guerrillas and transferred them to Zhaojinsu District.At the end of the same month, the Sanyuan Central County Committee of the Communist Party of China reorganized the Weibei guerrillas into the Fourth Regiment of the Red Twenty-six Army according to the instructions of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee. After the fierce battle, led by regiment leader Huang Zixiang and political commissar Yang Sen, they entered the Zhaojin Soviet Area in early August.After these three revolutionary armed forces arrived in Zhaojin one after another, they strengthened the revolutionary armed forces and laid the foundation for the restoration of the Red Twenty-six Army and the consolidation of the Zhaojin base.

After Liu Zhidan, Huang Ziwen and others returned to Zhaojin, Liu Zhidan served as the chief of staff of the temporary general headquarters of the Red Army on the Shaanxi-Gansu border. Wang Shitai, Huang Ziwen, and comrades who had returned to the Zhaojin Red Second Regiment all rejoined the Red Army, strengthening the leadership and leadership of the Red Army. Backbone strength. In mid-October, the main force of the Red Army was fighting on the outer line. The enemy mobilized thousands of people to "encircle and suppress", and Zhaojin fell. In early November, the Party Committee of the 42nd Division of the 26th Red Army was established in Lianhua Temple, Heshui County, Gansu Province. Wang Taiji served as the division commander, Gao Gang as the political commissar, Liu Zhidan as the chief of staff, and Huang Ziwen as the director of the political department.Subsequently, the troops marched into Nanliang, Gansu, opened up the Shaanxi-Gansu border revolutionary base centered on Nanliang, and served as the military rear of the 26th Red Army. The 26th Army carried out guerrilla warfare, and Ziwen also served as the political commissar of the General Headquarters of the Third Route Workers and Peasants Guerrillas in the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Area.

In January 1934, while the troops were returning to Nanliang from Chunhua and Xunyi, Gao Gang violated military discipline in Qiutouyuan Nanyi Village, Zhengning County, causing bad influence among the troops and the masses.Guerrilla Gao Zhansheng informed Huang Ziwen, director of the political department, about the matter, and Ziwen informed the division party committee, suggesting that it should be dealt with.The division party committee held a division party committee in Lianjiabian, Heshui, to criticize and help Gao Gang.At the meeting, Huang Ziwen made severe criticisms of Gao Gang from the perspective of strict party discipline, military discipline and caring for comrades.In the end, the division party committee dismissed Gao Gang as the political commissar of the division, and Yang Sen, the political commissar of the Fourth Red Regiment, succeeded the division political commissar.From then on, Gao Gang held a grudge against Huang Ziwen.

In February, Huang Ziwen went to Xi'an for treatment due to illness. In April, after Yang Sen, the political commissar of the division, was injured, Zhang Xiushan, the political commissar of the cavalry regiment, took over as the political commissar of the division.While Zhang Xiushan was still in Xi'an for medical treatment, the division party committee expelled Ziwen from the party on the grounds that Huang Ziwen was "rightist" and "lost in battle".In the middle of the same month, Zhang Bangying and Wang Anmin led the third group of guerrillas to conquer Huangbao Town, Yaoxian County. After the news was disclosed in Xi'an newspapers, Zhang Wenhua took the newspaper and said to Ziwen, who was getting better, "Take me to the Red Army. Let’s go to the Twenty-sixth Army!” Ziwen read the newspaper and said, “It seems that there is no obstacle on the way to the north. Let’s go to Wuzi District first, and then organize a guerrilla team to take it there to strengthen the Red Army.”

The next day, Zhang Wenhua asked Wei Guangbo, the party organization in Xi'an, to issue a letter of introduction, and went to Sanyuan with Bai Yaoqing and Du Wan with Ziwen.When approaching Caotan, Bai Yaoqing said to Zhang Wenhua: "I heard from Instructor Cai who was seeing a doctor in Xi'an that Ziwen was expelled from the party by the 26th Army!" Zhang Wenhua said: "Don't tell Ziwen yet!" Their whispered discussions were heard by Ziwen When he arrived, he said nonchalantly: "Even if I am wronged personally, I will carry out the revolution to the end. The Red Twenty-six Army expelled me from the party because some people don't understand me and think that I started the armed situation. I want to be a battalion, regiment, and division commander, but in fact I am liberating for the worker-peasant society!"

After Ziwen arrived in Wuzi District, he found Wang Qide, a guerrilla who stayed in his hometown, and told him about organizing people to go north. Wang Qide quickly gathered twelve or three people.Ziwen and his party wandered around for several days before they met Zhang Zhongliang, the political commissar of the Third Route Guerrilla, and Wang Anmin, the commander-in-chief, in Qijieshi.Zhang Zhongliang distributed weapons and ammunition to the people brought by Ziwen, and asked them to move around the border of Chunyao first. In early May, Huang Ziwen brought Cai Ziwei, Xu Tulian, Zhang Jingwen (female), and Cai Chuntang back to Wuzi District from Xi'an, and gathered the guerrillas again, preparing to return to the 26th Red Army.When the team reached Dongping in Yao County, they saw Zhang Zhongliang again. They knew that the general headquarters of the Three Route Guerrilla was attacked by the Hougou militia in Baijiashan, and the commander-in-chief Wang Anmin was killed.Huang Ziwen then suggested to Zhang Zhongliang to concentrate his forces and wait to eliminate the Hougou militia.Zhang Zhongliang adopted Ziwen's opinion and publicly recommended Ziwen to be the commander-in-chief of the third guerrilla.After receiving a notice from the Party Committee of the 42nd Division, the guerrillas were asked to go north to hold a meeting of cadres.After Ziwen arrived in Nanliang, he introduced Cai Ziwei, Xu Guolian, Zhang Jingwen, and Du Wan to Xi Zhongxun, chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Region, and Liu Zhidan, commander of the 42nd Division.

On May 28, the party committee of the 42nd Division held a meeting in Zhaiziwan, and decided to restore the special committee of the Shaanxi-Gansu border. He was reinstated as the political commissar of the division.After the meeting, Zhang Zhongliang and Huang Ziwen led the third group of guerrillas, while carrying out guerrilla struggles to defend Sanxia, ​​and at the same time organizing guerrillas to help the local people harvest and sow seeds.Ziwen personally leads the team members at home and assists the local team members in harvesting seeds.One day, he found that a team member had a broken shoe, his foot was pierced by wheat stubble, and blood was flowing, so he put on the new shoes he brought from home for the team member.Xi Haosheng, who had been following him in the revolution in the early years, met him and joked, "Second brother, my gown is rotten, give me your shirt." Ziwen really took off the white shirt and gave it to Xi Haosheng.Xi Haosheng laughed and said, "I'm joking!" Ziwen also laughed:

"There is no joke in the army, I really give it to you!" The two pushed back and forth, making the guerrillas laugh. In the first ten days of July, Gao Gang suddenly arrested Huang Ziwen on the charge of ineffective combat in an attempt to persecute him.At this time, it happened that Xie Zichang and Guo Hongtao led the General Headquarters of the Northern Shaanxi Guerrilla of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to Nanliang to join the 26th Red Army. When they learned of this, they ordered Ziwen to be released, but Gao Gang escorted Ziwen to Nanliang. Liang Special Committee and Revolutionary Committee dealt with it.Xi Zhongxun, then Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, knew that Huang Ziwen was a good comrade who was upright and hard-nosed when he founded the Weibei Revolutionary Base Area. He was very clear about Gao Gang's bad behavior of retaliating against Huang Ziwen with his personal prejudice, so he let Ziwen stay in the rear to work.

On the 20th of the same month, Huang Ziwen attended the Party Committee of the 42nd Division of the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Special Committee and the General Headquarters of the Northern Shaanxi Guerrilla, and held a joint meeting in Yanjiawazi in the Nanliang area.The meeting summarized the preliminary work, conveyed the instruction letter of the Shanghai Provisional Central Bureau and the Central Northern Bureau, and discussed the subsequent work.At the meeting, serious criticism and struggles were launched against Gao Gang's wrong behaviors such as bad ideological quality, domineering style, and running away.In the end, the meeting made a resolution: Gao Ganghong was dismissed from his post as political commissar of the 42nd Division of the 26th Army and given a three-month probation in the party.

In August, according to the spirit of the Yanjiawazi Conference, in order to train cadres, the "Shaanxi-Gansu Border Military and Political Cadre School" was established in Nanliangbao. Liu Zhidan served as the principal, Xi Zhongxun served as the political commissar, Wu Daifeng served as the student leader, and Huang Ziwen and Cai Ziwei served as teachers.In the teaching work, Ziwen strives to make it easy to understand, vivid and specific, and easy to understand according to the characteristics of the low education level of the students.When Song Fei, a retired veteran cadre, recalled the life of the students in those years, he still praised Huang Ziwen and Cai Ziwei: "Both of them are intellectuals with a high level of cultural theory and practical experience. Comrade Huang Ziwen talked about Marxism-Leninism, combining theory with practice. It is specific and vivid, and I can understand it even with a very low level of education.”
