Chapter 80 Restoration of the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base

After the fall of Xuejiazhai, Gui Shengfang, Feng Yonggui, Wu Shengpu and other five or six seriously wounded people from our Red Army Repair Institute and some logistics departments were detained by the enemy in Longjiazhai.About twenty days later, two people suddenly kissed Longjiazhai.One is Cao Hongyan and the other is Zhu Zijie. They had acquaintances with Chen Kemin successively. Later, they participated in the uprising and served as squad and platoon leaders in the Red Army cavalry.After they arrived at Longjiazhai, they quietly told Zhu Shengfang and others about the situation outside and the main activities of the Red Army, and said: "Your mission is to control the strength of this village. We want to eliminate Chen Kemin, a scoundrel. The main force of the Red Army is to take down the Longjiazhai and restore the Zhaojinsu area." He also asked each of them to try to get a gun to keep the village as an internal support for the Red Army.After a period of time, the main force of the 26th Red Army returned to the Zhaojin area. Comrade Liu Zhidan personally wrote a letter to Gui Shengfang and others, asking them to do a good job of instigating rebellion in Longjiazhai. As a point of contact, let them keep in touch with the main force of the Red Army.

On the 30th night of the lunar new year in 1933, Li Xingcheng, the squadron leader stationed by the enemy at Xuejiazhai, secretly organized an uprising.On the night of the second day of junior high school, the Shuangxingyu Squadron raided Longjiazhai.At this time, Chen Kemin took two trusted regiment members to the Miaowan militia regiment headquarters to celebrate the New Year.Gui Shengfang and others persuaded the soldiers guarding the village to surrender, and Longjiazhai and Xuejiazhai returned to the embrace of the base area.The traitor Chen Kemin heard that the two villages were lost, so he dared not go back and called for reinforcements everywhere.Soon, the artillery regiment of the Shaanxi Army and the militia regiments of nearby counties once again surrounded Xuejiazhai and Longjiazhai, the surrender troops of Longjiazhai and the uprising troops of Li Xingyu.After a week of fierce fighting, they retreated to Chunhua and Yuquyuan, and joined the Red Army Cavalry Regiment at Laoyeling.

On November 3, 1933, the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Special Committee held a meeting in Baojiazhai, Heshui County, Gansu.The historical lessons were summed up, and major issues such as the reorganization of troops and the course of action for the construction of base areas were discussed.The meeting decided to revoke the temporary headquarters of the Red Army on the Shaanxi-Gansu border and form the 42nd Division of the 26th Red Army.At the same time, it was decided to establish a three-way guerrilla zone centered on Anding in northern Shaanxi, Nanliang in Gansu, and Zhaojin in Guanzhong.In the third guerrilla zone, Wang Anmin was the commander-in-chief and Zhang Zhongliang was the political commissar.In the spring and summer of 1934, the Red Forty-two Division often went to the Zhaojin area for activities, which greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the revolutionary masses. The party's grassroots organizations, red regime organizations, and mass organizations were gradually restored and consolidated, and the revolutionary struggle of the masses And it is in full swing.The third route guerrilla zone has been greatly developed.Pingzi Guerrilla Team, Yaoxian Guerrilla Team, Chunhua Detachment, and Special Service Team were successively established, with about 200 people.Not only restored the entire Zhaojin Su area.Moreover, with the great help of the Red 42nd Division, extensive guerrilla activities were carried out in the vast rural areas of Chunhua, Yaoxian, Tongguan, Ningxian, Zhengning and other counties, and a revolutionary base pool was established.After a long period of struggle against the enemy and repeated contests.The third guerrilla zone centered on Zhaojin was finally connected with the revolutionary base areas opened up by the first and second guerrilla zones.Consolidated and developed the Zhaojin Soviet Area.Since then, the Zhaojin area has become a major area in the southern part of the Shaanxi-Gansu border base area.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Zhaojin people have been fighting until the liberation of the whole country, writing a glorious page for the Chinese revolution.

The Zhaojin Revolutionary Base was the first mountainous revolutionary base created by our party during the Second Civil Revolutionary War.The establishment and development of the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base is a glorious and important chapter in the history of revolutionary struggle in Northwest China.The establishment of the Jin revolutionary base, on the one hand, effectively shook the Kuomintang’s political foundation, causing panic and confusion within the Kuomintang; Responding, it contained a large number of Kuomintang troops; at the same time, it aroused the awareness of millions of people in the Shaanxi-Gansu border to carry out the upper-ground revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and inspired the courage and determination of the broad masses of hardworking people to strive for liberation.

The Zhaojin Revolutionary Base is an important stage in the consolidation and development of the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Revolutionary Base.First of all, it is the strong strategic support formed by the Red Twenty-six Army's extensive guerrilla warfare, and it is a reliable rear for the Red Twenty-six Army to grow and grow; An important base of revolutionary forces.The recovery, development and growth of the Red Twenty-Sixth Army is also inseparable from this strong position. Again, on this red land, the party carried out a series of establishment of the party's grassroots organizations, the establishment of red regime organizations, the establishment of mass armed forces and The attempt to carry out the construction of base areas has gathered a wealth of revolutionary experience for our party and our army, and has cultivated and tempered a group of strong revolutionary backbones.All these have created a solid ideological foundation, cadre foundation and material foundation for us to further establish the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Revolutionary Base.

Historical experience has fully proved that it is absolutely necessary and correct for the party to establish a revolutionary base in the Zhaojin area.The contribution of the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base to the Chinese revolution will forever be recorded in the annals of history!The revolutionary martyrs who died heroically for the establishment and development of the Zhaojin Revolutionary Base will live forever in the hearts of the people!
