At the liaison meeting between the Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region, Zeng Zhongsheng reported on the rest and training status of the air defense brigade, artillery brigade, heavy machine gun regiment, and guard regiment over the past month. He pointed out that since the guard regiment had been removed from three battalions, although there are now two
Battalion, but the security tasks of the Shandong Bureau and the Military Region are large and must be fully staffed as soon as possible. It is best to separate the Military Region Guard Corps from the Shandong Bureau and the future Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government Guard Corps. The Military Region Guard Corps assumes the security tasks of the military region command organs. During battles
It can also be used as a reserve force to enter the battlefield at any time. The Shandong Bureau and the government guard corps are mainly responsible for guarding the rear political leadership agencies. It is recommended to establish a military region special agent corps to undertake the guarding tasks of the rear base.
Guo Hongtao reported on the construction of local political power in each base area, the best of which were Luxi and Hebei Lubian. Luxi is an old base area. After the battle to eliminate the main force of the Japanese 21st Division and the independent mixed fourth brigade, the Eighth Route Army's prestige has increased unprecedentedly.
The various local anti-Japanese armed forces left by former General Fan Zhuxian, except for some who surrendered to the enemy, were mostly reorganized and trained by our army. Counties in western Shandong have established anti-Japanese democratic governments, mobilized county and district armed forces, and completed village-level political elections.
, are concentrating their efforts on militia training. If there are a few more months, the Luxi base area will become a solid base area. The Hebei-Shandong border base area will be independent of the Japanese army and the seventh brigade will be withdrawn from Dexian, the third teaching brigade, and the seventh teaching brigade.
When the Eighth Jiao Brigade was passing through the border, it cooperated with the Sixth Jiao Brigade to carry out sweeping activities on the Jilu border. Local forces were wiped out. Except for the areas along the railway line, south of Cangxian County, east of the railway line, and north of the Yellow River, all areas were controlled by our army.
The construction of grassroots political power in the counties in the base area has taken shape, and cadre training is being carried out at an intensified pace. In other areas, because the troops have just entered the army not long ago, the construction of the base area has just started, and there is still too much work to be done. Especially in
In the southwestern Shandong area where the 1st Brigade was taught, the Japanese Fifth Division was conducting frantic raids there. The troops received orders to develop covertly, and the establishment of political power was still in a state of underground development.
As for the progress of cadre training, Guo Hongtao reported that one training class for guerrilla cadres, one training class for female cadres, and one training class for young cadres have been held. Most of the trainees are intellectuals who came south from Tianjin, Lunan and
Some underground party members in Zhongnan Shandong participated in the training.
Zhu Rui reported on the formation of local armed forces in various places. In accordance with the call of the former Shandong Provincial Party Committee for "Communist members to take off their long robes and join the guerrillas", since the end of 1937, the Provincial Party Committee has organized the Hebei-Shandong border, Jiaodong, Heitieshan, and
Laishan, Shandong, Taixi, Shandong, Yexian and other armed uprisings. Among them, the Shandong People's First Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army formed by the Hebei-Shandong border uprising has been mixed with the Sixth Jiao Brigade to form the Second Hebei-Shandong Border Independent Regiment.
The four detachments born from the Shan Uprising were combined with the Dongjin Detachment to form the Instructor Tai'an Detachment, the Third Army formed by the Jiaodong Uprising, and the Fifth Army formed by the Heitieshan Uprising. They were the main forces responsible for the task of establishing base areas in these two areas.
Arriving late, the rendezvous has not yet been achieved. Among them, Comrade Li Qi, the leader of the Jiaodong Uprising and Secretary of the Jiaodong Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, died in the battle. The Jiaodong Special Committee meeting elected Cao Manzhi as acting Special Committee Secretary, and Lin Yishan and Song Cheng served as the second secretary respectively.
Comrade Lu Shengsan, the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the three armed forces, leader of the Ludong Uprising and secretary of the Ludong Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, was assassinated by spies on April 2 during his transfer. The Taixi uprising troops had already contacted the main force when they passed through Jinpu Road, and the uprising troops obtained
Supplement and strengthen, and now cooperate with the cavalry brigade to fight. The guerrilla armed forces born in the Lunan Uprising have entered the Baodugu mountainous area and contacted the Fifth Jiao Brigade. Since the Fifth Jiao Brigade is now fighting separately, the Lunan Uprising troops have not yet been reorganized. The Yexian Uprising troops
It has developed rapidly and has captured the county seat and is under the leadership of the Third Army.
Li Yuxian reported on the progress of promoting the two-crop farming system a year. Comrade Lin Feng is specifically responsible for this work. At present, a quarter of the farmers in the western Shandong base area have begun to practice intersowing wheat and corn. Pilot projects have also begun in the Hebei-Shandong border area.
Although the central and southern Shandong areas are new areas, due to their proximity to Shandong Bureau, the promotion efforts are relatively strong. Basically, intercropping has been promoted in areas controlled by our army, and corn seedlings have also grown and are growing well.
Then, Li Yu reported on the preparations for the establishment of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government. He planned to temporarily establish seven departments including civil affairs, transportation, taxation, public security, commerce, agriculture, forestry and water, culture, education and health, and establish the Shandong High Court. The personnel will basically be provided by central support cadres and Shandong
The composition of the personnel of the former administrative agencies who actively resisted Japan. The leaders of each department will submit the list to the Shandong Bureau for approval after discussing with the Organization Department and the Political Department.
Finally, Li Yu proposed that the bank must be established as soon as possible, because the Japanese army supported Wang Kemin's pseudo-Republic of China government and established the pseudo-China Joint Reserve Bank on March 10. It was headquartered in Xijiaomin Lane, Peking, and issued joint bank notes, stipulating that it be issued jointly with the National Government.
Legal tender equivalent circulation, all transactions in the market in the Japanese-occupied areas must use Union Bank Notes, and bank bank accounts must use Union Bank Notes as the standard currency. The capital of this fake "China United Reserve Bank" is 50 million yuan, and it is run by the fake North China Provisional Bank.
The government invested 12 million yuan, and at the same time forced eight banks, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Continental Bank, Jincheng Bank, China South Bank, Port Bank, Hebei Provincial Bank, and Pseudo-Jidong Bank, to invest 12.5 million yuan, and merged the former banks in North China.
The issuance reserves (a huge amount of silver) that were not turned over in time for the legal currency reform in 1935 were included in its share capital.
The face value of joint bank coupons is 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 100 yuan and 1 jiao, 2 jiao and 5 jiao auxiliary currency notes, commonly known as Dalong tickets. Compared with the Korean won and Manchuria dollar used by the Japanese in the Northeast,
The first two are the silver standard system, while the United Bank Notes are the gold standard system and cannot be cashed out without guarantees. This is more conducive for the Japanese to plunder our country's resources and raise military expenditures, especially to solve the expenses of the puppet governments and puppet armies at all levels. In order to occupy the financial market in North China, the Japanese
Branches have been set up in various places to ban the circulation of legal currency in North China, and stipulate that people are not allowed to hold legal currency. Anyone found holding 1 yuan of legal currency will be confiscated, and those holding 60 yuan will be executed. The Japanese army even used legal currency to arbitrage or even counterfeit legal currency to exchange for foreign exchange.
Military supplies urgently needed for the war.
In view of this, Li Yu proposed that a bank in the Shandong base area must be established as soon as possible. All military and civilian transactions in the base area are conducted in our own RMB. Since the RMB printing factory is in Shaanxi and transportation is inconvenient, and the logistics headquarters has equipment and raw materials that can make engravings, it is recommended to
The central government asked for instructions to set up a mint on the spot to print RMB, and the name of Shandong or the bank could be added on the face of the note.
Cai Zhong reported on the military and local propaganda work. "Dazhong Daily" has been launched. Now it is mainly distributed to the military and governments at all levels in the base areas. The initial circulation is small, but the newspaper is of high quality and very popular. Distribution channels are being built and expanded.
Influence. The preparations for the literary and art publications "People's Literature", "Shandong Literature and Art", and "Qilu Pictorial" founded by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are progressing smoothly, and the first issue can be issued before the end of the month. The Luyi Shandong branch is under preparation. If there is no major combat operation, we will strive to do so after the wheat harvest.
School starts.
Wu Zheng reported on the construction work of the rear base. After a month of hard work, an arsenal was built at the junction of Xintai and Mengyin using private houses, temples, and caves. It is currently capable of mass-producing explosive packs, grenades, reloading bullets, artillery shells, and repairs.
Firearms. We are preparing to build a machinery factory, and plan to follow the construction methods of cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi and build cave dwellings where cave dwellings can be built as small workshops and staff dormitories. However, this Yimeng Mountain is basically a rocky mountain, and it is very difficult to build cave dwellings. No matter how difficult it is,
We have to fight because of the need for air defense. The next step is to encourage the national capital enterprises that have been withdrawn from Tianjin to start construction quickly and strive to produce civilian products as soon as possible to meet the production and living needs of the military and civilians in the base area.
After the report, Liu Yimin first severely criticized the slow advance of each army. Some army leaders only focused on grasping the main force and fighting, ignoring local armed forces and political power building. The Ludong Uprising gave birth to the seventh detachment and the eighth detachment. This is our opening of Ludong.
The key to the situation was that due to the slow movement of the main force and failure to contact the insurrectionary forces in time, there was a tragedy that led to the sacrifice of key leaders like Lu Shengsan after the army marched eastward.
The reason for this situation, Liu Yimin analyzed, is that the instructors have fought and won consecutive battles, and the cadres and soldiers have become arrogant. They only want to fight big battles and capture big battles, and they want to occupy the city. They don’t want to go into ravines, and they can’t live a poor life. They ignore
They ignored the importance of base area construction, ignored the importance of relying closely on local party organizations, ignored the importance of relying on the people of Shandong, and ignored the importance of creating local armed forces to defend the base areas. To put it bluntly, it is pure military thinking that is at work.
.Party organizations at all levels, cadres at all levels in the army and all veteran Red Army soldiers and Communist Party members must understand that our army's march into Shandong is not to fight and then leave, but to build Shandong into a strong anti-Japanese base area and provide a solid foundation for the entire nation.
The victory of the Anti-Japanese War laid the foundation for the establishment of a new political power in which the people are the masters of the country. From now on, Shandong will be our home. We will fight to the death with the Japanese army in Shandong and compete with the Japanese army and even other forces for control of Shandong. Every comrade will
We must understand that our army's battle in Shandong is different from any battle during the Long March and the Anti-Japanese War. Previous battles, except for the Tongguan Defense Battle fought to defend the Shaanxi base area and the battle to annihilate the Majia Army, were all one-shot battles.
, basically not considering the impact of the fighting on the local people. Now Shandong is our home. Every battle must take into account the factors of Japanese retaliation. We must put the protection of the base area and the safety of people's lives first. To achieve this
, without strong local government, local armed forces cannot do anything. All the soldiers in the division must think about one question, which is who to rely on to win the war and for whom to win the war.
Since Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu Yimin worked together, they have always seen Liu Yimin praising and encouraging the troops. They have never seen Liu Yimin criticize the troops so vehemently. They all feel a little uneasy. They don't know who will be criticized and which one will be criticized next.
aspects of work.
Guo Hongtao and others had only worked with Liu Yimin for a short period of time, and were not yet familiar with it to the level of Luo Ronghuan and others. When No. 1 criticized the work, they did not say anything, but concentrated on taking notes.
Then, Liu Yimin expressed his opinions on the existing problems in the construction of party organizations at all levels.
This time is slightly different from that in history. At this time in history, the Japanese army mainly occupied the big cities and transportation lines in Shandong. Many counties had not yet been occupied by the Japanese army and were in a state of anarchy. For example, in the southeastern region of Shandong, most counties still had the Kuomintang regime. Gao Shuxun
The New Eighth Division should still be in southeastern Shandong at this time. At this time, due to Xiwei Shouzao mobilizing Japanese troops to carry out large-scale raids across Shandong, the remaining Kuomintang power had been driven out of Shandong, especially the Japanese 16th Division and the independent
The 6th Huncheng Brigade's large-scale raids on central and southern Shandong and southeastern Shandong have driven all the national army forces in these areas to the south of Linyi. Now these forces may have already fled to Xuzhou.
Therefore, Liu Yimin pointed out that the current hinterland of Shandong is basically a struggle between the Japanese puppets and the Communist Party, and the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, excluding the Japanese army's heavy troop groups used to fight in the directions of Lunan and Xuzhou, we are basically in a situation where we are strong and the enemy is weak. This is
Our party has encountered unprecedented development opportunities in Shandong. The ancients said that God cannot bear it, and it is a sin! Every Communist Party member, whether he is a professional revolutionary or an intellectual, a rural Party member, a worker Party member, whether he is in the army or a local organization
, everyone must understand the sacred mission they shoulder, step forward, go to the main force, go to the guerrillas, go to the farmers, go to the workers, go to the businessmen, actively form party branches, bloom everywhere, and build a Conglu
There is a network of party organizations throughout Shandong from west to east Shandong, from northern Shandong to southern Shandong. Party committees are established at the district level and above, and party branches are set up in villages. Each party branch must become a strong force that unites and organizes the people to actively resist the war and develop production.
Fortress. The first thing for the newly created local armed forces is to implement our army's political principle of building branches in companies to ensure that every team can not be defeated or defeated.
Liu Yimin praised Comrade Lin Feng. This comrade has served as Secretary of the Peking Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, and Secretary of Comrade Shaoqi. He has strong policy orientation, has a struggle strategy, pays close attention to details and is practical in work. He has never engaged in agricultural production, but he has
The promotion of two crops a year is very effective, which shows that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing.
Then the topic changed, and Liu Yimin criticized Li Yu for being a bit soft in his work. Building a bank is our established policy, and preparing for the establishment of an anti-Japanese democratic government in Shandong is also our established policy. What did our hundreds of thousands of elites come to Shandong for? Isn't it just to build political power?
, establish a base area? What is a base area? That is a territory with money, food, troops and a place to rest. Nothing can be done without a bank. Why did I propose to establish a bank as soon as our army occupied Shaanxi? That is to establish
Our financial system has completely broken the enemy's blockade and restrictions on us. This matter does not need to be discussed at the next meeting. Comrade Li Yu should be in charge of this work, and he should have the determination and courage to make a decision. We have captured Tianjin, and there is plenty of money and banks.
The principal can be larger than the 50 million shares of the Japanese puppet China United Reserve Bank. Even if Comrade Li Yu cannot make a decision on this matter, he can just report it to me and Political Commissar Luo. Only one of us can take a stand. Paragraph 1
I went to Xuzhou, and it took me a few days to go back and forth. Before I left, I had made it clear that Political Commissar Luo was in charge of the overall work in Shandong. This means that I recognized everything Political Commissar Luo said. Why not report to Political Commissar Luo? Political Commissar Luo
Before the Autumn Harvest Uprising, he participated in organizing the Tongcheng and Chongyang Peasant Armed Forces and participated in the Southern Hubei riot. He is a hero of our army and has extremely rich fighting experience. In the past few years, we have worked together and have the same mind-set and unanimous opinions on the implementation and implementation of the central decision-making. From now on, Luo Luo
The political commissar is mainly in charge. If it involves party building, political power building, economic construction, and cadre deployment, just ask him for instructions.
Liu Yimin wanted to speak again, but Luo Ronghuan stood up and interrupted him, saying: "Comrade Liu Yimin thinks too highly of me, and I am sincerely frightened. In the future, we should communicate more and exchange opinions on any matters. The purpose is to promote the cause of the party."
Well done."
Liu Yimin waved his hand, asked Luo Ronghuan to sit down, and then said: "Comrade Li Yu made outstanding contributions to the restoration of the Shandong party organization, organized the anti-Japanese armed uprising, and created the Shandong armed forces. He has made great contributions. If we win in the future, it will be remembered in the history of the party and the people's army."
There are many incidents in history. The reason why I criticize Comrade Li Yu is not to criticize him personally, but to remind everyone that whether it is the main force or local troops, whether they are cadres sent by the central government or local cadres, we all
We are comrades, comrades-in-arms, and flesh and blood. We can be the masters of everything, work boldly, and do it resolutely when we see the right direction. We don’t have to be scrupulous, afraid of making mistakes, and ask for instructions on everything. Local cadres can serve in the army, and the army
Cadres can take up posts in local areas. In a word, they can do whatever is beneficial to their work."
After saying so many words, Liu Yimin felt a little thirsty and glanced at Tang Xingying. Tang Xingying immediately gave him a tank of water. Liu Yimin took a sip and continued: "Now is not the time to publicly establish the anti-Japanese democratic government of Shandong Province. You can
It was announced to the public in the name of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate and exercised government powers. Li Yu was appointed as the Senate President, Lin Feng was appointed as the Deputy Senate President, and Yang Dalin of the Political Department of the Instructor was transferred to the Director of the Public Security Department. Troops were transferred from various military units to form the Shandong Public Security Corps, which was affiliated to Shandong.
The anti-Japanese democratic government is under the dual leadership of the Political Department of the Military Region and the Security Department. Comrades Li Yu and Comrade Lin Feng must set up a team as soon as possible to guide the work of the anti-Japanese democratic governments in various places, organize production, develop the economy, clear trade routes, and maintain social order."
After talking about government work, Liu Yimin added: "The work of the Logistics Command must be strengthened, and the factory must be built quickly. The equipment and materials purchased from the United States will soon arrive. Once this batch of equipment arrives, we can build a small steel factory."
Factory to produce weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the Logistics Command is building factories and recruiting and training workers at the same time. It is necessary to expand the scale of our arsenal to tens of thousands of people, not only to meet the needs of our Shandong troops, but also to support Jizhong, southern Hebei and the New Fourth Army. In addition,
We also need to build pharmaceutical factories, flour mills, and clothing factories to completely solve the logistics and supply problems of the troops."
When Wu Zheng heard that the equipment from the United States was about to arrive, Wu Zheng's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to speak. Liu Yimin stopped him and continued: "The propaganda work is not strong enough. We cannot just stop at running newspapers, magazines and art troupes.
Newspapers and magazines are all for literate people, but most people in Shandong are illiterate. First of all, we need to carry out literacy education, and secondly, we need to organize various base areas to form propaganda teams and work teams, compile easy-to-understand programs, and perform them among the masses to awaken people.
their patriotic awareness. The third is to post slogans, distribute leaflets, expose the enemy, and publicize our ideas. The fourth is to promote our army's effective complaint activities on a village basis, carry out land reform, thoroughly awaken the masses, and let
They consciously follow the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and take up guns to defend the victory. If we do this, we will be invincible. No one, whether it is the Japanese or the Kuomintang, can be our opponent!"
After arranging the construction work in the base area, Liu Yimin turned to military work. He drank some water and said loudly: "The Japanese army is currently engaged in the late stage of the Xuzhou Battle, with the purpose of encircling and annihilating the main force of the national army in the Xuzhou area. When I was in Xuzhou, I met with Chiang Kai-shek and held a meeting held by Chiang Kai-shek.
The combat meeting discussed the principles of victory in the War of Resistance and analyzed the intentions of the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren are not stupid people. I guess they will definitely take corresponding countermeasures, take the initiative to evacuate Xuzhou, and attack the enemy with the camera. After the Japanese invaded Xuzhou, there were two
There are two major combat directions, one is to directly attack Wuhan, and the other is to return to the west of Shandong Province and sweep away the southern Hebei, and central Hebei, because they thought that the main force of my teaching division was in southern Hebei. According to the analysis of the military region, the Japanese army concentrated its forces before launching the Wuhan battle.
, it is necessary to mobilize the army back to sweep the southern Hebei, Luxi and Jizhong. We have reported to the headquarters and also informed the heads of the 129th Division and the 115th Division of the situation. In response to this situation, if our army continues to implement decentralized development, it will be impossible to defeat
The enemy's encirclement and suppression. Therefore, I am determined to mobilize the main force to meet the Japanese and defend the base area. The specific combat deployment will be issued to each unit after the meeting. What needs to be emphasized here is that all units must be prepared for counter-mopping up. The main force of our army will use 20
It will take about a day or so to completely clear out the enemy and puppet forces in their respective base areas, and then move to the stage of concentrated rest and preparation in preparation for the enemy's large-scale sweep."
Liu Yimin paused and said: "In order to strengthen the leadership work in each base area, Comrade Zhu Rui went to Shandong to concurrently serve as political commissar of the Fourth Teaching Brigade, secretary of the Party Committee of Shandong District, and political commissar of the military region. Comrade Guo Zihua went to southeastern Shandong and concurrently served as political commissar of the southeastern Shandong detachment.
, Secretary of the Party Committee of Southeast Shandong District, Political Commissar of the Southeast Shandong Military Region, and former Acting Political Commissar of the Southeast Shandong Detachment, Comrade Lin Bo was transferred back to the Logistics Headquarters to strengthen the work of the Logistics Headquarters. Comrades Zhu Rui and Guo Zihua’s original tasks remain unchanged and they will work harder. Duan Junyi
Comrade Xi Jinping is appointed as Secretary of the Party Committee of Taixi District and leads the struggle in the Taixi region. The cavalry brigade is a mobile combat unit of our army and cannot serve as a local force in Taixi District. The Central Cadre Regiment and Training Headquarters that have arrived in Western Shandong must rush to the Yimeng Mountains as soon as possible. Cadres
Comrade Zeng Chunjian in the regiment is the leader of the 18th Old Red Regiment and remains on the spot as the political commissar of the Second Teaching Brigade. Comrade Cheng Cuilin's original concurrent post of political commissar of the Second Teaching Brigade was cancelled, and he became full-time political commissar of the First Teaching Brigade, part-time instructor, and deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Region. Reiterate
Once again, when I left the Shandong Bureau to lead the army on the expedition, Comrade Luo Ronghuan was in charge of the party, government and military work in Shandong."
After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he announced the adjournment of the meeting and hurriedly left the meeting and returned to the division headquarters to make combat arrangements.
Luo Ronghuan told Li Jun, director of the Secretariat, to put away the notebooks of the comrades and compare them. He must completely record the spirit of Comrade Liu Yimin's speech, copy it to the chairman and the headquarters, and distribute it to all bases.
