On the afternoon of November 25, in accordance with the arrangement of the central government, Liu Yimin delivered a speech at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The title of Liu Yimin's speech was "Light Ahead" and was divided into four parts: the first part was a review of the instructor's work in the past year after participating in the war; the second part was the anti-Japanese war situation after the Wuhan Battle; the third part was an analysis of the international situation; the fourth part was
Part of it is to unite and fight to defeat Japanese imperialism and establish a new China.
Those attending the meeting were all senior party leaders from the central government, various armies, and local parties. The opportunity was rare, and if the speech was well done, it would be as good as the last training on new ideas and new strategies. Therefore, Liu Yimin attached great importance to it and was determined to teach himself about the Anti-Japanese War.
All the thoughts on what kind of new China we should build are shared in an effort to inspire, think, and teach our comrades.
He first reported to the conference the various tasks of the instructor during the year of participation in the war.
In the morning, Liu Yimin asked the staff at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to draw schematic maps of several major battles, clearly marking the comparison of the enemy's and our own forces, their positions, and combat intentions. Now, these maps have been hung on the wall.
Liu Yimin focused on military struggle. He held a pointer and pointed at the map. He included the elimination of the 21st Division, the Chahar Corps, the thousands-mile attack on Tianjin, the defense of Linqing, the recovery of central Hebei, and the eastward march to Shandong.
The Battle of Jinpu Road in the hinterland and later the Battle of Central Shandong, the Battle of Qianniu, and the Battle of Jiaoji Road were explained in detail, focusing on pre-war determination, firepower allocation, luring the enemy and how to gather and annihilate them. The cadres who listened were shaken.
Shenchi kept exclaiming: "So this is how the fight was done!"
After talking about the big battles, Liu Yimin went on to talk about the cold-gun and cold-gun campaigns carried out by the instructors, special operations, local armed guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, and mine warfare. Each form of military struggle is explained theoretically and analyzed with combat examples.
There is an evaluation of the results, and the explanation is profound and lifelike.
Liu Yimin summed up the reason why the instructor achieved such great results in one year's military struggle in two sentences: a firm and correct political direction and flexible strategies and tactics.
Firmly following the correct political direction means always placing the military under the leadership of the Party, building branches up to companies, implementing political democracy, economic democracy, and military democracy throughout the army, and making combat operations subordinate to the overall situation of the war of resistance and the Party.
The instructions and orders of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. Here, Liu Yimin focused on the grievance campaign and the three investigations and three rectification activities that he has insisted on since the beginning of the Xiyan Political Army. He also talked about the growth experience of the special hero Bai Dagui, with the purpose of explaining a truth.
That is, ideological and political work is combat effectiveness.
According to Liu Yimin, the complaint movement is to complain about the sufferings inflicted on the working people by the old society, reactionaries, and Japanese imperialism. It is the only way for our army to improve the consciousness of cadres and soldiers and form strong cohesion and combat effectiveness. It is the only way for any army in the world to
A political method that has never been used before, and it is more effective than a political commissar, instructor, or instructor speaking a thousand times. This experience has been reported to the General Political Department of the Eighteenth Red Army and issued for reference by the entire army. It is also taught in the courses of the Red Army University, but each army
The degree of implementation varies. As a result, newly recruited soldiers, especially newly recruited defeated soldiers, have unclear understanding of the purpose of our army's struggle, unclear goals of struggle, weak fighting will, weak cohesion, and even deserters. Some of our party organizations
Due to insufficient ideological and political work, the local armed forces would collapse when encountering large-scale raids by the Japanese invaders. On the other hand, the teaching division of the Eighth Route Army experienced heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army. Not only did the main force not have desertions, but even the local armed forces did not have any incidents.
In the phenomenon of surrendering to the enemy together and collapsing, even a county brigade or a district squad trapped in the Japanese encirclement can treat death as if they are home and fight bloody battles until they break out or the whole team is sacrificed. The basic experience lies in the instructor's insistence on carrying out a comprehensive grievance campaign! Teach
Instructing any team, as small as a district team, the first lesson from the day it is established is to complain. Through methods such as recalling suffering, citing suffering, interviewing suffering, comparing suffering, etc., and adding examples of suffering, sarcastic root, and searching for suffering.
Let the soldiers realize that reactionary rule and Japanese aggression are the root of all suffering, and attribute personal suffering to class suffering and national suffering. Only by eliminating the invaders and overthrowing reactionary rule can the working people stand up for liberation. In addition, the three checks
,Three rectifications will maintain the purity and combat effectiveness of our army, and build our army into a steel army that is united in struggle and commanded satisfactorily.
Such an army is invincible in the world!
Flexible and mobile strategies and tactics are based on the principle of preserving oneself and destroying the enemy. Fight the enemy however you can to destroy the enemy and strengthen yourself. What the instructor implements is a combination of guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and annihilation warfare. Guerrilla warfare consumes the enemy and mobile warfare mobilizes the enemy.
, to eliminate the Japs in the movement, concentrate the troops, concentrate the firepower, fight a war of annihilation, and eliminate the Japs' vitality. In general, it means not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and everything is aimed at wiping out the Japs' vitality.
After talking about the achievements of the military struggle, Liu Yimin then talked about the achievements of the instructors in establishing base areas. Here, Liu Yimin focused on the construction of political power, elevating the construction of village-level grassroots political power to the strategic level of ensuring the long-term development of the war, and talked about the establishment of village
The importance of party branches, militia teams, women's rescue societies, children's leagues and the democratic election of anti-Japanese village chiefs. To sum up, Liu Yimin believes that village-level political power is the basis for political power construction. As long as the village-level political power is well established, the election of district and county governments
, the construction will be easier to handle, and a political system and anti-Japanese fortress will be formed that cannot be defeated, delayed, destroyed, or destroyed.
Another key issue in strengthening the construction of base areas is the land issue. Liu Yimin believes that China's thousands of years of development history is also a history of war. The most essential connotation of this war history is the struggle for ownership of land. Who can solve the land issue well?
, whoever can win the support of the vast majority of the people. The practice of land reform in the Shaanxi base areas has proven that as long as the land reform is fully implemented, the base areas will be stable and the problems of food, clothing and development for the people in the base areas can be solved. Why? The reason is that
The social resources that were originally concentrated in the hands of big landowners have been redistributed, so that a few people own most of the land and social resources, and the land is evenly distributed, and a few people are rich, and the majority is poor, oppressed, and exploited, so that the majority are prosperous together.
It is conceivable that the policy will be supported by the majority of people. In the past, our policy of attacking local tyrants and allocating their land to the Soviet area went too far in some places, pushing some small landowners who made their fortunes through their own hard work into the opposite direction. This problem has been solved in Shaanxi
The land reform was corrected in the middle. But now is the period of unity in the war of resistance. We can no longer carry out land reform in the base areas, but we must implement rent and interest reductions, confiscate the land of traitors and distribute it to landless farmers. In some areas, we can also use government redemption methods.
Enlightened landlords can be mobilized to donate land to landless farmers for cultivation. We can also take advantage of the large amount of land abandoned during the war years to organize farmers to open up wasteland for farming. Once the base areas are stabilized, land reform must be fully implemented. In short, we must solve the problem of farmers in the base areas.
There is no land to farm and land rent is too high.
In terms of economic construction, Liu Yimin focused on two issues, pros and cons, that is, developing and strengthening the economy of the base area and weakening the economic capabilities of the Japanese.
Liu Yimin stated that the economic issue of strengthening the base area was the top priority for whether he could continue the war of resistance. He made a detailed report on the instructor's practice of promoting two crops a year to increase grain output, and proposed that we must persist in reclamation and expand the planting of drought-resistant and high-yielding autumn grains.
area, mobilize the masses to rationally allocate the planting ratio of food crops and cash crops, and transition to eating food in the summer and spending money in the autumn. On the premise of ensuring self-sufficiency in food and clothing, implement unified tax rates, unified interest rates, and universal deposits and withdrawals in all base areas.
Maintain the credibility of the RMB, support the development of commerce in the base areas, and break the Japanese blockade.
On this issue, Liu Yimin proposed to change a misunderstanding, that is, doing business with the Japanese war zone indiscriminately should not be regarded as an act of capitalizing on the enemy. On the one hand, to carry out commercial activities, we can buy our urgently needed items from enemy-occupied areas.
Materials; on the other hand, we can also use our advantageous materials to dump into enemy-occupied areas and destroy the economy of enemy-occupied areas. Liu Yimin gave an example. There is a company in Shandong that produces matza. The quality is very good, and it occupies the market in the Pingjin area.
It can be exported to Japan and Europe. This raises a question: Should this enterprise be allowed to continue production and sales to Pingjin and Japan, or should production and sales be prohibited? Liu Yimin’s answer is of course production and sales are allowed, and the expansion of production and expansion must be encouraged.
Sales volume. A small maza must be exchanged for grain, cotton, and kerosene. Of course, the little devils will definitely restrict the circulation of grain, cotton, kerosene, gasoline, steel, and medicines, and will not let us easily obtain them.
.But loopholes can be found in everything. No matter how strict the blockade is, businessmen will always find ways, such as buying off puppet troops, buying off traitors, buying off Japanese military officers, etc. There are many ways, and with the cooperation of our army, it will be
It will definitely break the little devil's blockade.
This involves a problem. It is necessary to set a standard for which goods are prohibited from being sold to enemy-occupied areas and which goods are encouraged to be sold to enemy-occupied areas. In general, high value-added consumables must be used to do business with enemy-occupied areas. Strategy
The sale of materials to enemy-occupied areas is strictly prohibited.
Regarding the issue of how to weaken the Japanese economy, according to Liu Yimin, the most important thing is to attack the economic system of the Japanese. The purpose of the Japanese is very clear, which is to use war to support war and plunder the resources of the occupied areas to support the war of aggression. In order to defeat Japan as soon as possible
The invaders must first actively attack, continuously encroach and shrink the Japanese-occupied areas, and expand their base areas. Secondly, they must destroy the economic foundation of the Japanese-occupied areas. For example, we have banned the circulation of joint coupons issued by the Japanese and puppet troops.
We must use woodblock printing to produce counterfeit banknotes in large quantities, sell them in large quantities to all Japanese war zones such as Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Qingdao, Xuzhou, Peiping, Tianjin, etc., use counterfeit banknotes to buy the supplies we need, and finally turn the joint coupons of the Japanese and puppet troops into
It's not worth a penny. It's best to bribe the senior quartermasters of the puppet army through inside lines, and let them use the counterfeit money as military pay, forcing the puppet soldiers and traitors to become paupers, screaming to collect debts from the Japanese. This matter
It must be deployed in a unified manner, with a high degree of confidentiality in the early stage. In the later stage, there is no need to keep it secret. Instead, it must be widely publicized that the banknotes of the Japanese and puppet troops are counterfeit, completely destroying the credibility of the Japanese and puppet financial system.
As for the Japanese yen we seized, in addition to purchasing necessary supplies, it can be managed by the central government, and can be used to set up companies in the United States, buy stocks, and participate in large American companies such as electrical, telecommunications, transportation, automobiles, and arms, preferably in the United States.
Without realizing it, we control some key American companies. We can also exchange Japanese yen for dollars, francs, and pounds, and go to the Soviet Union to purchase our necessary supplies and arms. We can also go to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Peiping, and Tianjin.
Big cities like Qingdao go to set up companies, do business, and purchase strategic materials needed by the base areas.
Liu Yimin got excited about speaking, his eyes shone, and he put one hand on his hips and waved the other hand constantly. The more he spoke, the louder he sounded. The cadres below were dizzy and applauded non-stop.
After finishing the first part, Liu Yimin began to talk about the situation of the Anti-Japanese War after the Wuhan Battle.
Liu Yimin's point of view is consistent, that is, after the Wuhan Battle, China's War of Resistance entered the strategic stalemate stage defined by Chairman Mao. Due to the expansion of the occupied area, the Japanese invaders had to divide their forces for defense, and it was difficult to maintain the strategic offensive momentum. At the same time, the strategic stalemate stage
This does not mean that the Japanese will not launch major battles. Some important battlegrounds for military strategists are still the target of the Japanese attacks. In places like Yichang, Changsha, and Nanchang, the Japanese will definitely mobilize their troops to launch a large-scale attack. However, after the Battle of Wuhan
With the training, the combat effectiveness of the backbone troops of the national army will be significantly improved. It is basically impossible for the little devils to achieve big results. On the contrary, they will be counterattacked by the national army. On the North China battlefield, in addition to Shandong direction, the Shanxi battlefield
The direction of Zhongtiao Mountain will become the focus of the Japanese army's attack.
Liu Yimin believes that while fighting the National Army, the Japanese Army will increase efforts to induce surrender, support the traitor government to expand the puppet armed forces, and use the puppet armed forces to replace the Japanese Army in garrison duties. Especially after the loss of Wuhan, some people in the Kuomintang lost confidence in the war.
, coupled with Chiang Kai-shek's consistent policy of excluding dissidents, there is likely to be a trend of surrender within the Kuomintang, and there may even be a situation where generals are surrendered like hairs and troops are surrendered like waves.
For our army, it will enter a difficult period after entering the stage of strategic stalemate. There are three reasons for this. One is that the Japanese army will concentrate on consolidating the occupied areas, use the Eighth Route Army as the main combat target, carry out crazy raids on the base areas, and will implement a series of blockades.
Policy. The second is the early stage of the strategic stalemate. There are many surrendered troops of the national army, and these troops have a certain combat effectiveness. After joining the puppet army, they are likely not to fight the national army, but the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. The third is after entering the strategic stalemate stage.
, as the Japanese offensive slowed down and the national army got a chance to breathe, if the aforementioned battles were fought a few more times, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely be complacent, and then turn his attention to restricting the development of our party and our army, and even mobilize troops to fight against our army.
Fight. As a result, our army is oppressed by the main force of the Japanese army outside and constrained by the die-hards inside. We have to fight the Japanese army, puppet troops, and die-hard troops at the same time, and the pressure is unprecedentedly high.
In response to this situation, our party and our army should raise the banner of anti-surrender, anti-compromise, and anti-friction politically, carry out a struggle in a reasonable and orderly manner, force Chiang Kai-shek to persist in uniting to resist Japan, and reduce friction as much as possible. Militaryly, one-handed
Resolutely attack the surrendering puppet troops, stop the possible wave of surrenders within the national army, concentrate our efforts on counter-mopping up, and resolutely repel the Japanese attack.
Liu Yimin pointed out that now our army has established an anti-Japanese base area in Shaanxi, which can attract a large number of intellectuals and refugee people, laying a human resource foundation for growing strength. In addition, our army has established a large-scale base area in North China, which can continuously provide the main force with
Supplement. However, this also brings about a problem, that is, due to the expansion of the army too fast and too large, the main force is diluted, and the combat effectiveness does not increase but decreases. There are three ways to solve this problem. First, strengthen political work and enhance the cohesion of the army.
; The second is to strengthen training and improve tactical quality; the third is to exercise in actual combat, to improve, to grow, to test combat effectiveness in actual combat, and to improve combat effectiveness. To this end, Shaanxi's security divisions, garrison divisions and security regiments in various places must
When you start a battle on the battlefield, you can also switch defenses with the main force of our army in Shanxi to exercise your combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
The lecture lasted a bit long, and Liu Yimin felt a little thirsty. He reached out to touch the table out of habit, but found nothing. Only then did he realize that this was at the venue of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, not at his teaching division. There was no Tang Xing.
Sakura and the others scrambled to pour him water.
Just when I was about to endure it and continue talking, I heard a voice with a Sichuan accent: "Mr. Liu, please drink some water!"
When Liu Yimin saw it, Political Commissar Deng of the 129th Division stood up from his seat and handed over an enamel jar.
Liu Yimin took the teapot, drank the tea in a gulp, said thank you, and started talking again.
Now he is talking about the international situation.
Liu Yimin said that he likes to listen to the radio in his free time. When he occupied Tianjin, Qingdao, Lianyungang, and Jinan, he collected many newspapers and talked with foreign embassy personnel in Tianjin and Qingdao. Judging from the information collected, the current world situation is changing rapidly.
.On the one hand, Germany secretly colluded with Italy and Japan, showing signs of forming a military alliance. On the other hand, Britain and France implemented an appeasement policy towards Germany, fueling Germany's ambitions of aggression and expansion.
In March this year, Germany annexed Austria. On September 28, the German army deployed seven divisions in the border area of Czechoslovakia and issued a war threat. The Czech Republic also announced national mobilization, and the war was about to break out. On September 29, with Czech protection
Instead of putting pressure on Germany and using force to stop the war, British Prime Minister Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Lafardie, who claimed to be independent countries, signed the "Munich Agreement" with Hitler at the expense of Czech interests, forcibly transferring the Sudetenland region of the Czech Republic to Germany. Everyone thought
When I think about it, the Germans have already prepared for war and sharpened their swords. They got Austria and the Sudetenland as soon as they took action. Will they stop there? I judge that it won't be long, at most by the end of 1939, Germany will
Bare their ferocious fangs and begin their battle to conquer Europe. By then, Britain and France will have no choice but to fight unless they surrender.
What Liu Yimin said is the historical trajectory of later generations, and it will inevitably happen in front of us. But for the vast majority of senior leaders of the Communist Party of China who participated in the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, it was an absolute forward-looking strategic analysis. Everyone sat upright and listened.
Flavorful.
Liu Yimin continued: "From the perspective of the world's power comparison, it is impossible to stop the joint aggression of Germany and Italy by relying on Britain and France. It must combine the power of the Soviet Union and the United States to prevent the occurrence of a world war. However, the current situation is very unfavorable.
Wonderful, the Americans are still pursuing their conservatism and neutrality ideas, and there is no possibility of going to war in the short term. For the sake of its own security, the Soviet Union will probably not go to war with Germany for the time being. In this way, Germany will definitely gain a lot in Europe.
A great achievement. In the future, as the pace of German aggression accelerates, the United States and the Soviet Union will also join the world anti-fascist war. This war is inevitable."
At this point, Liu Yimin contacted Japan again. He analyzed that according to common sense, the Japanese will inevitably take further military adventures and cooperate with Germany's actions in Europe. For this reason, the Japanese base camp formed two factions, both advocating going north and advocating going south. Japan
The reason why the Kwantung Army has maintained a huge force in the Northeast is not simply to defend the Northeast. The most important thing is to attack the Soviet Union northward and echo the German army from east to west. But from the current point of view, a packhorse force like the Japanese army cannot be mechanized.
The opponents of the Soviet Red Army are likely to be beaten to pieces.
Hearing the image Liu Yimin said, a burst of laughter immediately erupted in the venue.
After the laughter, Liu Yimin continued: "The Japanese army's dream of going north will be shattered after being attacked by the Soviet Red Army. However, the Japanese are so small that they never forget to participate in carving up the world. So they have only one choice, which is to attack south.
In Southeast Asia, there is rubber, oil, and steel, and everything Japan wants is there. Unfortunately, these things are controlled by Britain, France, and the United States. If they want it, they will have to fight. If it continues to develop, it will form an east and west world.
In the anti-fascist battlefield, China's war of resistance will no longer be isolated. At that time, the Americans will be directly attacked by the Japanese army. In order to delay the pace of the Japanese army's attack, they will inevitably vigorously assist and support China's war of resistance. The distance between Japan and Japan is completely
Destruction is not far away, it’s just a matter of time.”
Based on the above analysis, Liu Yimin proposed that the operational direction of our army is to keep a close eye on the Japanese attack. As long as it is on the Chinese mainland, wherever the Japs attack, our guerrillas will develop and base areas will be built. Let
The Japs can't live in peace for a moment. In terms of the main force combat strategy, we must seize the opportunity. Once the main force of the Japs goes south to capture Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, our army will concentrate all its efforts on a decisive battle with the Japs in North China, control the entire North China, and then compete with the Japs for the Northeast. We must use
In three to five years, we will complete the task of controlling North China and Northeast China, and rely on Northeast China and North China to go south to conquer the Central Plains, Jianghuai, and completely defeat the Japanese invaders.
