Chapter 84 7. Inventory

In the Battle of Ciwu and Linlin, more than 10,000 people from the 97th Army of the Kuomintang and other wandering armed forces were wiped out.Jiang Xiwen, Chief of Staff of the 94th Division of Zhu Huaibing's Department, Wang Bin, Chief of Staff of Lu Zhonglin's Department, Lei Mingyuan of the Blue Clothes Society, and Hu Xianggan, commander of the Wu'an Self-Defense Army, all became prisoners of the Eighth Route Army.In addition, there was a prisoner who was a German priest and the commander of the so-called "Crusaders".Among the captives captured by the Eighth Route Army, there were more than 150 officers' wives, including Zhu Huaibing's wife.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army successfully repelled the first anti-communist upsurge launched by the diehards of the Kuomintang, and it was a victory for the Chinese Communist Party to adopt a policy of unity and struggle in the anti-Japanese national united front. Regarding the anti-friction battle, the Party Central Committee and Mao Zedong instructed: "First, under the policy of the Japanese invaders and the Kuomintang's anti-Communist policy, local armed conflicts are not only possible, but also common. It should be estimated that there will be more such conflicts. Two. , The position of our party and our army on local armed conflicts is a clear principle of self-defense: if people do not attack us, we will not attack; On the one hand, from the standpoint of self-defense, give the actors who attack me the resolute blows and lessons they deserve. Third, in armed conflicts, our party and our army must gain the upper hand politically and have an upright and solemn attitude; In the military, it is necessary to improve the party spirit of the police to avoid attacks, and not to give middle-level cadres the authority to engage in armed conflict."

When Liu Bocheng talked about the issue of friction and anti-friction, he said: "The united front is the union of classes, so friction is the expression of class struggle. At present, every cadre of us must learn to anti-friction, which is called 'do not break the united front if it is hard, and do not break the united front when it is soft." Lose political stance'. For the crazy anti-communist diehards, our solution is the so-called 'necessary friction must not exist, and unnecessary friction must not exist'. The specific method? 10 words: win, persuade, disintegrate, isolate, strike. "

The Ciwu Forest Battle is the best example of implementing Liu Bocheng's 10-character style of play.Zhu Huaibing believed that he was a direct descendant of the Central Army. He was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and bullied other armies at will. Therefore, the headquarters of the 18th Army decided to concentrate its forces on the 94th Division of Zhu Huaibing's army. Sun Jun copied Zhu Huaibing's headquarters in the defense line, disrupting Zhu Jun's command system.Although Chiang Kai-shek's Pang Bingxun's 40th Army in the Taihang area was in the Yincheng area south of Changzhi, it was restrained by Huang Kecheng's 344th Brigade of the 115th Division and Chen Xilian's 385th Brigade of the 129th Division. Fighting alone, more than 10,000 people were wiped out.
