Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Frontier enters its heyday

In the battle of Longyuankou on June 23, the fourth "suppression" of the Jiangxi enemy was defeated. The Fourth Red Army immediately occupied Yongxin and Lianhua, and the red separatist areas were widely promoted.At this time, "the separatist regime included the entire county of Ningkang, the entire county of Yongxin, the entire county of Lianhua, a small part of Ji'an, a small part of Anfu, the northern township of Suichuan, and a part of the southeastern township of Lingxian County, stretching several hundred li across. ", with an area of ​​more than 7,200 square kilometers and a population of about 500,000.The base thus entered its heyday.

At the climax of the promotion of the red areas, the Lingxian and Lianhua Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Governments were proclaimed. Lingxian County is where the Red Army often operates. The situation developed rapidly. In March 1928, a riot broke out in the whole county. After the victory of the riot, the Lingxian Red Guard Brigade was established, with He Guocheng as the captain.However, due to the betrayal of the traitors, in mid-May, the county party committee of Ling County was destroyed, and Liu Yinsheng, the secretary of the county party committee, unfortunately died.In order to reopen the work in Ling County, Mao Zedong helped to re-establish the Ling County Party Committee in Maoping, Ninggang after the Hunan-Jiangxi border party's "big one", and appointed Li Quefei as the county party secretary.After the establishment of the new county party committee in Lingxian County, they immediately returned to Lingxian County and went to various places to resume work, restore the party organization, and establish revolutionary armed forces.Thanks to the active efforts of the new county party committee, the work of Ling County has improved greatly, and township regimes such as Qingshigang and Dayuan in the southeast have been established one after another. Several strongholds.Therefore, in early June 1928, a county-wide Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Congress was held in the dam of the compound, the Ling County Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government was established, and Xu Dingyan was elected as the chairman of the county government.

Lianhua's work was almost destroyed by the enemy after the "Ma Ri Incident", leaving only a gun that He Guoqing desperately saved.However, the revolutionaries in Lianhua County were indomitable. By February 1928, they had developed more than 20 guns with just one gun, and established the county red team.Later, Mao Zedong instructed the troops to send several guns to the Lotus Red Team. In March, at the same time that the Southern Hunan Special Committee sent Zhou Lu to Ninggang, the Eastern Hunan Special Committee also sent people to Lianhua, ordering the new red armed forces to carry out activities in the Liling area of ​​eastern Hunan.The comrades of the Lianhua Special Branch did not implement this order, and continued to carry out an in-depth campaign against local tyrants in Lianhua County, avoiding losses similar to the "March failure". At the end of April, the red team expanded into the red independent group.Under the leadership of the special branch of the county, the independent regiment attacked the local tyrants, captured the evil gentry, and turned the enemy's nest. It was prosperous and vigorously promoted the work of Lianhua County. The heinous head of the police station Wen Zhengbin paved the way for the overthrow of the reactionary regime.

After the victory at Longyuankou, Mao Zedong and Zhu De ordered the Red 29th Regiment to divide into Lianhua to assist in the work of Lianhua County.The reactionary Jingwei regiment entrenched in Lianhua County fled out of the city in a hurry when they heard that the Red Army had arrived. On June 28, the Red 29th Regiment occupied Lianhua County.Immediately, the prisons and warehouses were opened, the imprisoned workers and peasants were released, food was distributed to the masses, and the pawn shop of the tyrant Liu Hengtai was liquidated, and the property was distributed to the poor peasants.Then, the troops were divided into four places and the masses were widely mobilized.When Zhu Yiyue and Liu Renkan of the Lianhua County Party Organization heard that the Red Army had entered Lianhua, they rushed to the county seat immediately, connected with the Red 29th Regiment, and made unified arrangements for mobilizing and organizing the masses in Lianhua County.With the help of the Red Army, the people of Lianhua County were generally mobilized. At the end of June, the whole county took the township peasant association as the unit, and each township sent 2 peasant representatives to hold a peasant representative meeting in the Longevity Palace of the county seat, announcing the establishment of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government of Lianhua County, and elected Liu Renkan as the chairman of the county government.At the same time, mass organizations such as Red Guards, Young Pioneers, and Children's Leagues were established in various places.Except for a small corner of Lianhua County, 130 townships in 8 districts have established red regimes, basically achieving a red state.

The development and growth of party organizations on the Hunan-Jiangxi border has gone through a tortuous process.Mao Zedong once described in the article "The Struggle in Jinggang Mountains": "In October last year, when the Red Army (the First Regiment of the First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army) arrived in the border counties, only a few party members were left in hiding. The organization was completely destroyed by the enemy. From November to April this year is the period of re-establishment of the party, and after May is the period of great development.”

The Border Party grew from nothing, from weak to strong, thanks to the leadership of the Front Committee with Mao Zedong as the secretary. In March 1928, the Front Committee was abolished at the request of the Southern Hunan Special Committee. The Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants marched to southern Hunan. Lost the center", resulting in "March failure", the party organization suffered serious losses. After joining forces in Jinggangshan, "restart the separation of the border."With the victory of the military struggle, Mao Zedong and others took a series of correct measures from politics to organization, so that the organization of the border party was quickly restored and had new development.These measures are mainly: First, in terms of organization, a border special committee was established to unify the leadership of the party organizations in the border counties. On May 20, 1928, the first congress of the Boundary Party was held in Maoping, Ningkang. At the meeting, various work of the Party was discussed, policies for consolidating and developing base areas were formulated, and resolutions on political discipline were passed. He established the Hunan-Jiangxi Boundary Special Committee of the Communist Party of China with Mao Zedong as the secretary, thus laying the foundation for the border party to enter a period of great development.Second, at the "One Great" meeting, Mao Zedong answered the question of "how long will the red flag last?", politically clarified the future of the party, and strengthened the confidence of border communists and revolutionary masses in creating political power in the middle of the Luo Xiaoshan Mountains.The third is that "the border parties (local parties and military parties) are correct."Due to the correct policy, when the ruling power in the south was temporarily stabilized, and the enemy troops from Hunan and Jiangxi provinces frequently came to "invade and suppress", and their forces were several times that of ours, "the separatist areas were expanding day by day, the agrarian revolution was deepening day by day, and the people's power was day by day." spread, the Red Army and Red Guards are expanding day by day".After the Battle of Longyuankou on June 23, the separatist areas on the border spread rapidly and entered their heyday. Ninggang, Yongxin, Lianhua, Suichuan, and Ling counties all had party county committees, and Chaling had special district committees.The number of party members in various places is "about 2,000 in Yongxin, more than 1,000 in Ninggang, more than 1,000 in Chaling, more than 100 in Lingxian, and more than 200 in Suichuan", totaling more than 5,000.While the revolution was on the rise, Party work in the border counties also continued to develop.The party organization has gradually changed from secret to semi-open and even fully open. In some places, the party's signboard is even openly displayed and party members are recruited openly. "In the counties under the Red regime, the Party developed very rapidly in the countryside (such as Yongxin, Ninggang...)." It was only cleared out during the "cleansing of the party" in September.

While the border party organizations are growing, the local weapons on the border have also developed greatly. The local armed forces in the counties on the Hunan-Kiangsi border had a certain foundation before the "Ma-Day Incident", and each county had peasant self-defense troops. In July 1927, after the Peasant Self-Defense Forces from Ninggang, Suichuan, Lianhua, and Anfu counties attacked Yongxin, they also formed the Jiangxi Peasant Self-Defense Force, with Wang Xingya as the commander-in-chief and Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo as the deputy commanders.At this time, the number of guns in the border counties was: 300 in Youxian, 300 in Chaling, 60 in Lingxian, 50 in Suichuan, 80 in Yongxin, 60 in Lianhua, 60 in Ningkang (Yuan Wencai's department), and 60 in Jinggangshan. (Wang Zuobu) sixty, a total of nine hundred and seventy. After the Ma-ri Incident, apart from Yuan and Wang's two tribes having no losses, only Suichuan kept six branches, Lotus kept one branch, and the rest were confiscated by the gentry."

After Mao Zedong led the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to establish the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base, the local armed forces in the border counties had a new development.From May to June of 1928, with the successive victories of the Fourth Red Army's military struggles and the gradual expansion of the red separatist areas, the local armed forces on the border also gradually developed and expanded.The counties of Ninggang, Yongxin, Lianhua, Suichuan, Chaling, and Ling counties all set up semi-full-time county red guard brigades, with Xie Huaguang, He Minxue, Chen Jingjin, Wang Cichen, Tan Jiashu, and He Guocheng as the captains respectively.In addition, the district and township levels of each county have established red guards and riot teams with the township as the unit.Most of the riot teams used spears, broadswords, and bird guns as weapons, and their numbers were proportional to the size of the township. They were tasked with defending the township regime and suppressing counter-revolutionaries, and assisting the Red Army or Red Guards in combat.The weapons of the Red Guards are better than those of the rioters, including five-shot guns, nine-shot guns, and single-shot guns.The Red Guards and riot teams were scattered in farming in peacetime, and concentrated in assisting the Red Army troops in fighting against the enemy in wartime.

In the early days of the establishment of the base area, the commanders of the Red Guards were generally sent by the army. Due to frequent fighting, the lower-level officers lost too much. Therefore, in December 1927, Mao Zedong organized a training team for the officers of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army in Long City, Ninggang. In addition to training junior officers of the army, the trainees of the teaching team also sent some determined and brave elements from the local area to study in the teaching team. After graduation, they returned to the local area to serve as commanders of the Red Guards.

Most of the Red Guards in the counties fought frequently, sometimes fiercely, with the security forces of the gentry, the Jingwei regiments, and the door-to-door regiments.In the struggle, their military quality has been continuously improved.Lianhua County relied on a gun that He Guoqing risked his life to save, and continued to struggle against the landlords. In February 1928, it developed into the Lianhua Red Guard, and at the end of April, it developed into the Lianhua Red Independent Regiment. There were more than 130 people and dozens of gun.At that time, there was an age requirement for the Red Guards and the Riot Team. Male young adults aged 25 to 35 could join the Red Guards, while those aged 35 to 45 were assigned to the Riot Team.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the local armed forces, the Fourth Red Army often allocated a batch of seized firearms to enrich the Red Guards in various places.In this regard, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee has given clear instructions.For example, on June 26, 1928, the "Letter from the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Special Committee of the Hunan-Jiangxi Frontier of the Communist Party of China" stated: "Before the Fourth Army moves to southern Hunan, the 28th regiment should send 200 rifles to the farmers in Yongxin Lianhua. In total, there were about 400 local peasants’ original armed forces. Actively expand the organization of the Red Guards and implement red martial law to resist the enemy’s attack and form a separatist regime in western Jiangxi with workers and peasants as the main body.” It can be seen that the local armed forces were in the province at that time. The importance in the eyes of the leaders of the Committee. It was with the help of the Fourth Red Army that the local armed forces in border counties developed rapidly.By the time the base areas were in their prime, "the number of guns in each county was 140 in Ninggang, 220 in Yongxin, 43 in Lianhua, 50 in Chaling, 90 in Lingxian, 130 in Suichuan, and 10 in Wan'an. Six hundred and eighty-three." Mao Zedong: "The Struggle in Jinggangshan".Yang Kemin also recorded in the "Comprehensive Report on the Situation of the Hunan-Jiangxi Frontier Soviet Area": ​​"The local armed forces in each county, the Red Guards each have a few hundred or more than two hundred guns. Half of the guns were allocated by the Red Army, and half I got it in the struggle, and the Red Guards have more than 900 guns in total... The Red Guards in all counties have good combat capabilities, because they have gone through many struggles, and they are completely tempered in repeated wars. It can be seen that local armed forces such as the Red Guards and riot teams in various counties have become an important supporting force for the Red Army. Together with the regular Red Army, they jointly shoulder the important task of defending the Red Base Area. The Ordnance Department of the Red Army originated from the gun repair shop of Yuan Wencai's former department. In 1925, Yuan Wencai had only 7 guns when he went down the mountain to accept the "recruitment" and became the head of the Ninggang County Security Corps.Under the persuasion of Communist Party members Long Chaoqing and Liu Huixiao, in 1926 Yuan Wencai led a security group to revolt, overthrew the Ninggang County Office of the Beiyang warlords, and established the Ninggang County People's Committee.Long Chaoqing served as the chairman of the committee, and Yuan Wencai served as the commander-in-chief of the county peasant self-defense army.At this time, Yuan Wencai had a total of 60 guns on hand, together with the guns from the Qingxiang Bureau of the county seized during the uprising and the guns of Xie Fulan and others who were incorporated into Xiashuiwan Lvlin, Ninggang, but many of them were bad guns.Yuan Wencai thought of his wife and uncle Xie Fanjing, who knew many unique skills by himself, so he asked him to help repair the broken gun.Xie Fanjing's family received a lot of protection from Yuan Wencai, so he agreed naturally, so he tried repairing two guns in the online form of the dam for a few days, and actually repaired two guns.In this way, Yuan Wencai asked Xie Fanjing to bring a few people to move to Baiyun Temple in Jinyun Mountain, and officially opened a small repair shop. After Mao Zedong led the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants to Maoping in October 1927, he heard that Yuan Wencai had a repair shop, and he appreciated it very much.There were quite a few broken guns in the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army at this time, so they agreed with Yuan Wencai to find several soldiers who knew how to repair guns from the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army (there was also one who could make rifle springs and return hooks) Master), expanded the weapon repair shop to eight or nine people, and renamed it "the first division of the Workers' and Peasants Revolutionary Army's repair shop". After the Jinggangshan division joined forces, nearly 10,000 Hunan peasants went up the mountain, and their guns were particularly tense. The 12th division under Chen Yi's command was almost a "spear body division".In order to increase the number of weapons, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Chen Yi, etc. negotiated and transferred a group of soldiers who were born as lead-tin miners in Shuikoushan, Hunan, to enrich the weapon repair station. Song Qiaosheng, the special battalion commander of the military department, was appointed as the director of the ordnance department. After the establishment of the Ordnance Department, the number of workers increased to more than 20, and equipment was also purchased.The workers worked selflessly and sent the repaired guns to the army continuously.At the same time, they also expanded their production projects and tried to build soil salt and guns.At first, several experiments failed.But Song Qiaosheng, Xie Fanjing and others were not discouraged. After a period of exploration, they finally created a soil cannon.Mao Zedong, Zhu De, etc. were very happy to hear the news, and instructed the troops to pay attention to collecting vises, drill bits, etc. every time they hit a place, and arranged for local governments to organize personnel to collect scrap iron and use it as raw materials for earth cannons. After the battle at Longyuankou, the troops seized seven or eight hundred guns from the enemy, including many bad ones.In order to arm the local Red Guards, the Ordnance Department expanded again.Proposed by Mao Zedong, in July 1928, the Ordnance Department was moved from Baiyun Temple in Buyun Mountain to Ciping, and Diao Feilin, chief of staff who was a blacksmith in Wang Zuobu, was transferred to the Ordnance Department. Under the leadership of Song Qiaosheng, Diao Feilin and others, the workers of the Ordnance Department gave full play to their ingenuity, and after repeated trials, they were finally able to make "fire guns" and "single shot guns". Regarding this period of history, Xie Xianglong, the son of Xie Jiaoming and nephew of Xie Fanjing, said: "My uncle Xie Fanjing started to set up the Buyunshan Red Army Ordnance Institute. At the end of August in the lunar calendar in 1927, Chairman Mao's team arrived at Maoping. Nearly 1,000 people came. Yuan Wencai helped them set up a rear guard station and a hospital in Maoping. At that time, Chairman Mao’s team also had some broken guns to be repaired, and a man surnamed Song came who was even more good at repairing guns. Seeing that Yuan Wencai had such a small stall, he wanted to join forces; Yuan Wencai of course agreed. After the Red Army took down Yongxin several times, there were more people in the repair department, and more than a dozen rooms in the North and South Halls were filled. Later, the repair department moved to Ciping again.” The establishment of the Ordnance Department of the Red Army made outstanding contributions to manufacturing guns and weapons for troops and local armaments, improving military combat effectiveness, and became the earliest "arsenal" of our army. The victories of a series of military struggles by the Fourth Red Army terrified the enemies in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces.While they continued to plan a new plan of "suppression", they imposed a tight economic blockade on the base area in an attempt to trap the Red Army to death in the Jinggang Mountains.For a time, the trade on the Chibai border was cut off. The agricultural and sideline products, handicraft products, bamboo and wood of farmers in various counties could not be transported out, and the industrial products and daily necessities needed for daily life could not be transported in. Cloth, medicinal materials, matches, kerosene, etc. were very tense. Salt has become a severe shortage in the base areas. Facing the grim situation, Mao Zedong and the comrades of the special committee were very anxious.At this time, Long Chaoqing and Yuan Wencai, secretary of the Ninggang County Party Committee, suggested to Mao Zedong that a polder should be opened in Dalong near the border of Ling County, so as to communicate with the trade in Chibai District and break the enemy's economic blockade. Mao Zedong and others fully agreed with this idea, and immediately instructed the Ninggang County Party Committee to prepare for its implementation. In May 1928, the party organization of Ninggang County held a representative meeting in Maoping Panlong Academy, and passed the decision to build a red fair in Dalong, and then designated Zhu Shuan, Chen Cimou, Liu Kexun, Zhao Xieke, and Wu Guangyuan to form the group. The preparatory committee is in charge of the preparatory work of the Dalong Fair. In late May, the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi was established, with Yuan Wencai as the chairman of the government.Mao Zedong "clearly instructed comrades engaged in economic work: Jinggangshan not only produces rice, but also a large number of local products such as timber, bamboo, tea oil, and industrial tung oil. You must try to smuggle these things to the area bordering Chibai. The small traders in Hebai District and the people there exchanged the supplies we needed, and instructed the local government to organize a work team to spread the word among the people, saying that the Red Army would open a red fair in Dalong to carry out the war in the Soviet and White Districts. The merchants and ordinary people in the counties around the border heard that the Red Army was going to open a red fair in Dalong Town at the foot of Huangyangjie Mountain, and they were very happy and supported it.” After more than a month of preparation, on July 15, 1928 (May 28 in the lunar calendar), the Dalong Red Fair was officially opened.According to rural practice, the second, fifth and eighth of the lunar calendar are fair days.Because of the extensive publicity, people flocked to the fair from all directions on the day the fair was opened.Among the endless flow of people, there are farmers from all over Ninggang County.There were purchasers from the Red Army, as well as small merchants from the borders of Suichuan, Lingxian, and Chaling.On the fair, there are all kinds of local products, Chinese herbal medicines, oils, poultry and game, as well as cloth, salt, and medicinal materials imported from other places.In order to prevent bad guys from destroying the normal trade of the fair, Yuan Wencai also sent some red guards, rioters and local cadres to maintain order.The whole fair is bustling with activity, and the transactions are fair, presenting a scene of prosperity. "After the opening of the Dalong Red Fair, the vendors and the people in the white area unanimously responded: 'When we came to the red Dalong Fair to do business, we felt that everything was fresher than the white area, and we felt particularly comfortable. The red area and the white area are really two different things. Heavy day! Even if we risk our lives, we have to go to the base area to do business and support the struggle of the people in the base area.” The people in the Jinggangshan base area said: “Commissioner Mao is really wise...” The Dalong Fair opened well, not only broke the The enemy's economic blockade has overcome the difficulties and promoted the development of industrial and agricultural production and economic construction in the base areas." Compared with the Caolin Fair, the Dalong Fair has two obvious features: "First, the government manages the fair and leads the fair. After the opening of the Dalong Red Fair, it will be directly managed by the Dalong District Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government. A corresponding management organization was established to be responsible for organizing the trade activities of the fair and dealing with the problems that occurred on the fair. The district government also dispatched red guards to patrol the fair to protect the normal trade of the fair. 2. The public economy participated in the trade activities of the fair The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government of Dalong District has set up a store in the polder market. The store has a lot of goods and the prices are fair. Anyone who uses the silver coins minted by the base area to buy things in this store will be given priority and given appropriate preferential treatment." "Interview with Su Lanchun Record”, internal interview materials. After the opening of the Dalong Red Fair, it persisted until January 1929 when the Fourth Red Army went down the mountain, and was finally destroyed by the enemy.After liberation, the local people recovered and continued to use the fair days of that year, and it has been prosperous up to now. Anyuan, Pingxiang, used to be the seat of leading organs such as the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Hunan East Special Committee, and the source of the Chinese labor movement; tens of thousands of workers from the Anyuan Coal Mine and the Pingxiang Road Mine gathered here. When the Autumn Harvest Uprising broke out on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi in September 1927, the main body of the Third Regiment of the First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was the road and mine workers in Anyuan.After the defeat in Liuyang and the rendezvous in Wenjia City, a blasting team of more than 60 Anyuan workers, led by Yang Ming and Wang Yaonan, followed the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops to Jinggangshan to persist in the separatist struggle in the base area.The outstanding performance of Anyuan workers in Jinggangshan aroused the interest and attention of former Party Secretary Mao Zedong. In the winter of 1927, when Mao Zedong wrote to the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, he asked the Hunan Provincial Party Committee to send more Anyuan workers to work in the army.After receiving Mao Zedong's letter, the Hunan Provincial Party Committee also expressed its approval, but asked the Maoists to "advance to Pingxiang" and "occupy Anyuan", and a large number of workers would "join the army". It is possible to lead the troops back to Pingxiang and Anyuan.The Hunan Provincial Party Committee wrote in the reply: "Currently the workers in Anyuan are in great pain, and it is extremely difficult for them to earn a dime of wages a day, and they are not full of meals. If the brother office advances to Pingxiang, it can occupy Anyuan for a short time and absorb a large number of workers. Workers join the army and reform the composition of the army." "Letter from the Hunan Provincial Party Committee", May 1928.He also informed: "The Eastern Hunan Special Committee has successively sent a large number of comrades and non-comrades to serve as soldiers. I hope to accept them." Anyuan workers went to Jinggangshan, and the earliest realization was the Pingli guerrilla camp led by Liu Xing. After the melee between the Hunan and Guangxi warlords ended in April 1928, the enemy sent two divisions to retaliate wildly against Liling's countryside, causing heavy losses to Liling's party organizations and revolutionary armed forces.In order to preserve their strength, they learned that the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army led by Mao Zedong was active in Yongxin and Chaling. Therefore, the Pingli guerrilla battalion withdrew from Liling and went to Yongxin via Pingxiang and Lianhua to find Mao Zedong's troops.They adopted the plan of guerrilla attack during the day and marching at night, and got rid of the enemy army, but when they reached the junction of Ping and You, they were blocked by the reactionary local armed forces in Luoding.After escaping from the fierce battle, he entered Lianhua County, got in touch with the Party organization of Lianhua County, and fought all the way, suffering hardships. In late May 1928, only more than 50 people from this nearly 200-member team arrived at Yongxintian, and finally joined the 31st Regiment of the Fourth Red Army.Liu Xing recalled: "When we went to Jinggangshan, there were more than 100 people. After a battle at Liugongpi, there were only 50 people on the mountain. Some of them were Anyuan miners." Quoted from "Anyuan Work and The Connection of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base".Later, this Pingli guerrilla battalion was organized into the first battalion and first company of the Red 31st Regiment, and Liu Xing served as the deputy party representative of the company. According to Song Xinhuai’s recollection, “In May 1928, hundreds of Changsha students and Anyuan coal miners overcame many difficulties and went to Jinggangshan.” Quoted from “The Connection between Anyuan Work and the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area”.Yuan Danchu also recalled: "Chairman Mao asked Anyuan City to appoint workers to Jinggangshan to serve as lower-level cadres of the Red Army. I sent a group there when I was in Anyuan." The Jinggangshan Connection”. In the struggle on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, youths were an important force. As early as the period of the Great Revolution, there were Communist Youth League organizations in the border counties.After the failure of the Great Revolution, the organizations of the regiments in the counties, like those of the Party, were dispersed by the enemy. At the beginning of November 1927, Mao Zedong held a meeting of the heads of the original party organizations in Ninggang, Yongxin, and Lianhua counties in Maoping Xiangshan Nunnery, Ninggang, conveying the "August 7" meeting of the Party Central Committee and the "August 12" meeting of the League Central The spirit requires the leaders of the party in the three counties to quickly return to the localities, rebuild the party organization, mobilize the masses, and carry out struggles. At the same time, pay attention to the recovery and development of the Communist Youth League organization. After the Xiangshan Nunnery meeting, Long Chaoqing and Liu Huixiao from Ninggang, Liu Zhen, Liu Zuoshu and Wang Huai from Yongxin, and Liu Renkan from Lianhua followed Mao Zedong's instructions and carried out arduous struggles.As a result, the members of the party and the league developed at the same time, and the grassroots organizations of the party and the league were established at the same time. On February 18, 1928, the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants captured Ninggang New Town. On the 21st, the Ninggang County Youth League Committee was established together with the county committee in Long City, with Xiao Zinan as the secretary of the County Youth League Committee.After the establishment of the League County Committee, there are 39 townships in 4 districts of the county, with the League District Committee in the district and the League Branch in the township. After the reunion in Jinggangshan in April, the Fourth Red Army Military Commission transferred a group of members of the Communist Youth League (mostly students from the Hengyang Fourth Division and the Guards Regiment uprising) to Ninggang to help the regiment work. The members of the regiment participated in the fight against local tyrants to divide the land and establish a red regime, showing great enthusiasm.Afterwards, he joined the army and participated in the war, supported the front line, organized the Young Pioneers, Children's Corps, etc., and worked very actively. At the end of February 1928, the Youth League Committee of Yongxin County was established, and Liu Zhen, secretary of the county party committee, concurrently served as Secretary of the Youth League Committee.Immediately, the first regiment district committee was established in Tianxi Village, Xiaojiangshan, with secretary Wang Xinjiu. In June, the regiment's grassroots organizations were established in most of Yongxin. At the same time, the Communist Youth League organizations in Suichuan, Lianhua, and Lingxian counties were all restored, the Communist Youth League committees were established, and the work of the Communist Youth League was generally carried out.The Secretary of the Tuanxian Party Committee in Ling County is Wanda Cai, but I am not sure about Suichuan and Lianhua. In May 1928, the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Special Committee and the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Government were successively established in Maoping, and a good situation emerged in the base area.In order to promote the work of the Communist Youth League on the border, a "Youth Movement Committee" was set up in the government of workers, peasants and soldiers on the border, with Xiao Zinan, Liu Zhen, and Hu Bo in charge to specifically guide the youth work in the counties on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi. In July of that year, the Hunan-Jiangxi border Communist Youth League special committee was formally established, and the secretary of the special committee was Shi Xunchuan.There are very few historical documents about the establishment and formation of the special committee of the Communist Youth League on the Hunan-Jiangxi border, only Yang Kemin's "Comprehensive Report on the Situation of the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Soviet Area" on February 25, 1929 has a slight record.The report said: "The Frontier Youth League has progressed faster than the party. The special committee of the regiment was established after two comrades were sent to the border by the Hunan Provincial Party Committee in July last year. The number of the regiment is less than 2,500. There are more than 2,000. Each county has a party organization as well as a regiment organization. The army has recently started a regiment organization. The special committee itself is considered sound, and the secretary is Shi Xunchuan, a comrade sent by the Hunan Committee. Sufficient, it can be said that the work can be done. The regiments in each county have some work, such as participating in the Soviets, the Red Guards, self-organizing vanguards, children's regiments, and doing cultural work. " The establishment of the Special Committee of the Communist Youth League on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi gave a strong impetus to the development of revolutionary struggles on the border, especially youth work. In April 1928, after the victory of the Zhu and Mao armies in Long City, Ninggang, the two armies were combined into the Fourth Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and the Fourth Army Military Commission was formed, and Mao Zedong was elected as the Secretary of the Military Commission. In May, the "One Congress" of the border party was held. Because Mao Zedong was appointed as the secretary of the special committee, the secretary of the military committee was changed to Chen Yi.After the establishment of the Military Commission of the Fourth Red Army and the Border Special Committee, both the army and the local party had a unified leading body.Under the leadership of the Special Committee and the Military Commission, the military struggles in the base areas have won frequent victories, the red separatist areas have continued to expand, the agrarian revolution and regime construction have continued to deepen and strengthen, and the border has entered its heyday.The fundamental reason for these achievements and the emergence of the excellent situation is that the border party and the army party formulated a set of correct policies. These correct policies are: 1. Resolutely fight against the enemy, create a political power in the middle of the Luo Xiao Mountains, and oppose the failed escapeism; 2. Deepen the agrarian revolution in the separatist areas; Armed forces help the development of local armed forces; 4. Take a defensive position against Hunan, where the ruling power is relatively strong, and take an offensive against Jiangxi, where the ruling power is relatively weak; 5. Use great efforts to manage Yongxin, create a separate regime for the masses, and arrange long-term struggles; Take the opportunity to meet the current enemy, oppose the division of troops, and avoid individual defeats; 7. The expansion of the separatist areas adopts a wave-like advance policy and opposes the aggressive policy. The formulation and formation of these seven correct policies was put forward at the first congress of the Boundary Party on the basis of summarizing the practical experience of struggle for more than half a year from October 1927 to May 1928.It basically summarizes the main content of the three aspects of the Jinggangshan period, the armed struggle, the agrarian revolution, and the construction of the base area, and is the basic point of the theory of China's red regime.On this basis, Mao Zedong summarized and put forward the famous great idea of ​​"armed separatism of workers and peasants" in October 1928, which effectively guided and promoted the separatist struggle on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. It is precisely because of these correct and appropriate policies and strategies, coupled with the fact that the border terrain is conducive to struggle, and the enemy's offensives in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces are out of step, that the victories and successes in the various military struggles from April to July 1928 were achieved. The great development of mass separatism has made "the separatist areas are expanding day by day, the agrarian revolution is deepening day by day, popular power is being promoted day by day, and the Red Army and Red Guards are expanding day by day."In this regard, Mao Zedong predicted that as long as these policies are adhered to, "although the enemy is several times larger than ours, not only will it not be able to destroy this separatist regime, but it will also make this separatist regime develop day by day." However, due to the wrong guidance of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and its representative, Du Xiujing, when the ruling class was relatively stable, they rashly adopted a policy of aggressively advancing into southern Hunan, ordering the Fourth Red Army in Jinggang to leave the base camp, leading to the "August defeat".
