Chapter 14 10. Mobilize Peking University students to participate in the "June 13" demonstrations

In order to oppose Japanese imperialism, troops were added to North China.The Peking City Student Nation Salvation Federation decided to hold a city-wide student demonstration on June 13.After the National Salvation Committee of Peking University Students received the notice, I and other committee members immediately mobilized Peking University students to actively participate in the parade in response to the call of the Student Union.In this demonstration, the students did not have a direct confrontation with the military police, which is a new feature. Since the "December 9th" Movement, students have taken a hostile attitude towards Song Zheyuan, chairman of the "Jicha Political Affairs Committee" and commander of the 29th Army.Shouted: "Down with traitors and traitors!".Song Zheyuan's approach to students is: beat hard, don't kill; arrest but don't judge.So in the "March 31" incident, many students were injured and more than 50 students were arrested.

At the beginning of April 1936, Comrade Liu Shaoqi, the leader of the Northern Bureau, came to Tianjin.He instructed the students: Song Zheyuan should be regarded as the target of the united front, and united front work should be carried out on him.So in the "June 13th" parade, the students changed the way of the parade and the slogans they shouted.In terms of the way of marching, the way of guerrilla warfare was adopted, and the march was made in a roundabout way.Use the tactic of "turning the head to the tail, turning the tail to the head".When the parade is blocked by the military and police, it will turn backwards, and then the tail troops will take the lead and advance in a detour.When encountering military and police obstruction again, turn back again; the original vanguard is at the front again.If both ends of the parade are intercepted by the military and police, the team will agree on the assembly point, break it up into parts, move forward in dispersal, and gather at the agreed point.In terms of slogans, they shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Support Chairman Song to lead the Anti-Japanese War!"Therefore, in this demonstration, there was no direct confrontation between the students and the military police.Adopting a roundabout tactic, after scattered and gathered seven times, avoiding the interception of the military and police, the marching troops from all walks of life finally joined forces in the Drum Tower Square and held a town hall meeting.Passed resolutions: oppose Japan's increase of troops in North China, defend North China with armed forces, stop the civil war, unanimously externalize, and recover the lost land in Northeast China.They sang national salvation songs and shouted: "Down with Japanese imperialism!" and other slogans.After the meeting, students from each school marched in separate routes by region.The student teams from each school in Dongcheng District marched to Chaoyangmen, guided by the Peking University flag, and returned to school respectively.The victory of this demonstration demonstrated the great power of the party's anti-Japanese national united front.
