Chapter 46 Pioneer of Weibei Peasant Movement

Comrade Huang Ziwen was a pioneer leading the Weibei peasant movement and one of the founders of the Weibei Revolutionary Base.From April to September 1930, I had the honor to get acquainted with Comrade Ziwen (named Chengzhang at the time), and we fought together for a period of time. He was infinitely loyal to the party, united and friendly to his comrades, selfless for the revolution, and did not hesitate to lose his fortune.Whenever I talk about him with some comrades, everyone expresses his deep memory.Recalling the days of getting along with Comrade Ziwen, his voice and smile, his strong beliefs and words and deeds seem to bring me back to the magnificent scene of the Weibei guerrilla war.

In late March 1930, after I returned from Xifu to report to the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Party Committee decided that I would go to Weibei as the Military Commission of the Provincial Party Committee, and let me and Comrade Huang Ziwen, who was engaged in underground struggle in the Sanyuan area, go to Wuzi District The Weibei guerrilla war was carried out as the center.The provincial party committee decided to carry out guerrilla warfare in Weibei because: (1) The vigorous peasant movement in Weibei in the past had a foundation. (2) There are many underground party members in Weibei counties, and the party organization is strong. (3) At that time, the warlords Jiang, Yan, and Feng fought in a melee in the country, and the drought in the Northwest was tyrannical, and the Weibei was even more desolate, and the people were destitute, hungry and dying. (4) After Comrade Huang Ziwen joined the party in 1926, in 2028 he organized and led the struggles of the "Joining Peasant Movement" and the "Armed Siege" in Sanyuan. .

At the beginning of April, I went to Minzhi Primary School in Sanyuan County to meet with Comrade Zhou Zhixuan (Zhou is the organization director of the Sanyuan County Party Committee).The county party committee sent me to the home of Xue Mingfan (Ziwen's brother-in-law) in Dazhaibao, Wuzi District, where I met Comrade Huang Ziwen for the first time.He was dressed in peasant clothes, of medium height, with a strong body, a round rosy face, and piercing eyes. He was about 21 or 20 years old like me. When we met, he was full of joy and shook hands, as if we were old friends at first sight. I immediately told him about the tasks assigned by the Provincial Party Committee to our Weibei guerrilla forces. Huang was very excited and said loudly: "As long as the Provincial Party Committee instructs to carry out Weibei guerrilla warfare: I will mobilize thousands of people at one call without any problem!".I introduced to him the national political situation and the party's line and policy, and Comrade Ziwen told me about the local party's organizational activities.Although he was arrested by the enemy for engaging in relief work, and he was just released shortly after he was released, his revolutionary spirit was excellent, his thoughts were firm, he was radical, his heart was straightforward, and he was upright. , I am very happy, I will fight with him, full of confidence to win.

In order to mobilize the peasants, we held an underground meeting of party members and cadres at the home of party member Sun Pingzhang. In addition to me, Ziwen, Zhang Zhenhe, Tian Yuguo, and Sun Pingzhang, there were nearly ten peasant party members. According to the decision of the provincial party committee, we arranged: (1) Vigorously restore and develop the party organization ; (2) Resume the peasant associations to carry out the peasant movement, and actively expand political influence; (3) Immediately set off a struggle against grain, anti-industrialization, anti-loan, anti-debt, and against local tyrants and evil gentry.And a division of labor was carried out. Comrade Huang Ziwen was responsible for the work in Wuzi District and Gaoling County, and I went to the east of Sanyuan and Fuping County for activities.

In late April, I had just returned to Wuzi District from Fuping when three messengers came to Wuzi District to collect money, extorting money and beating farmers.In order to mobilize the masses, we took the opportunity to organize the peasants to kill the three policemen and eliminate harm for the people, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the masses for fighting.The time is ripe to launch a peasant guerrilla war. We quickly organized peasant armed forces from all over the country and concentrated them in the Chang'aobao area at the junction of Sanyuan Fuping.While concentrating, they began to attack the local tyrants and punish the evil gentry.During this period, a batch of activity funds were sent to the Sanyuan County Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, and the Chang'aobao meeting was realized in early May.

After joining forces, we immediately established the Weibei Special Committee and the Military Special Committee (Ziwen served as the secretary of the Special Committee, and I served as the secretary of the Military Special Committee), and then established the Weibei Guerrilla General Headquarters.I am the commander-in-chief and Comrade Ziwen is the political commissar.There are two guerrilla detachments under it, two independent brigades, and a political department (comrade Xi Zhongxun was working in the political department at the time), with more than 2,000 members. The vigorous Weibei peasant guerrilla war began...

The development of peasant guerrilla warfare has greatly shocked the enemy in the Weibei area.According to the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee, a revolutionary base should be established immediately to establish a Soviet government.Everyone researched and decided that Comrade Ziwen would be in charge of the preparations for the establishment of the Soviet government (at that time it was decided that Comrade Ziwen would be the Chairman of the Soviet and Comrade Di Wu Baichang would be the Vice-Chairman).Due to the growing peasant guerrilla warfare, it caused great panic among the enemy.The enemy troops joined hands with landlords and tyrants and bandits to besiege this peasant army, and the struggle became increasingly fierce and complicated. In this situation, Comrade Ziwen ran around, mobilized the masses, and actively prepared to establish the Weibei Soviet government.

Due to the complex composition of the peasant army and the weakness of the party, under the attack of the enemy's armed siege and bribery and division, a revolutionary crisis emerged.A battle was transferred to the Wayaotou area. Wang Lin (South) of the Provincial Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of Sanyuan County came to Wayaotou. While we were having a meeting, Sui'er, the captain of the first detachment (a former bandit), suddenly rebelled , causing the team to be broken up by it.When the troops were transferred, Comrade Ziwen was out in action and did not return the troops.After the incident, I quickly found Comrade Ziwen, and held a backbone meeting in Comrade Wang Zhiying's village in Fuping County.Decision: ⑴ Comrade Huang Ziwen will resume and rectify the work in Wuzi District; ⑵ Let me go back to Xi'an to report to the Provincial Party Committee for instructions.In October, I broke up with Huang Ziwen and other comrades, returned to Xi'an and immediately reported to the Provincial Party Committee.Researched by the provincial party committee!Finally, it was decided to send me to the Shanghai Party Central Committee on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee to report on Shaanxi Party building, the peasant movement, the military movement and various tasks.Since then, I have never met Comrade Ziwen again...

Comrade Ziwen and I have not fought together for a long time, but Comrade Ziwen's loyalty to the party, his dedication to the revolution, and his noble qualities of adhering to the lofty ideals of communism left an indelible mark on me and some old comrades who fought together. impression! Since Comrade Ziwen participated in the revolution, although he came from a wealthy family and could have enjoyed peace and contentment, he completely betrayed his original family. For the sake of the revolution, his home was ransacked several times by the enemy, and several tile-roofed houses were burned down by the enemy. Under his influence, his niece, niece, brother-in-law, and niece all embarked on the road of revolution and sacrificed their lives for the revolution one after another!He encountered ups and downs in his life, and was misunderstood by comrades and organizations in the tortuous and complicated history of struggle.But the footprints he has traveled in his life prove that he is a glorious and great proletarian revolutionary fighter!He is a member of the Communist Party of China worthy of the people and a good son of the people of Shaanxi!

Comrade Huang Ziwen is an example for all our revolutionary fighters to learn from!Comrade Huang Ziwen's revolutionary heroic deeds will be immortalized forever!Comrade Huang Ziwen will always live in the hearts of the people! Mourning Comrade Huang Ziwen (one) Chi Yang Rao Jiexiong since ancient times, The brothers of the Huang family have a proud voice.
