Chapter 341: The Gathering of the Shadows

After the troops initially settled down, Zhang Cheng set this place as the seat of the Qilu Branch of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and then issued a summoning order to Li Yu, Zhang Jingwu, Guo Hongtao, and other comrades of the former Qilu Provincial Party Committee, asking them to come to attend the first formal work meeting of the Qilu Branch.

After the arrival of Li Yu, Zhang Jingwu, and others, Zhang Cheng personally went out to greet them for ten miles to take them back to the base area, and before the first formal meeting of the Qilu sub-bureau, Zhang Cheng also talked to them one by one to learn about the situation of the armed forces developed by the Workers' and Peasants' Party in Qilu.

Li Yu, Zhang Jingwu, Guo Hongtao and other cadres were famous revolutionary martyrs in history and the founders of the Qilu base area.

Although everyone met for the first time, they still left a good impression on each other, Li Yu and others were all tested revolutionary martyrs in later generations, Zhang Cheng put his posture very low in the face of them, and respected them very much.

Zhang Cheng's low posture not only did not make Li Yu and others despised, but made them flattered, after the meeting, Li Yu and others talked about Zhang Cheng, the secretary of the Qilu Branch, and frankly said that getting along with him made people feel like a spring breeze, which was really heartbreaking.

Through in-depth exchanges and discussions, Zhang Cheng has initially learned that the local anti-Japanese armed forces in Qilu under the leadership of the Workers' and Peasants' Party have now developed into a good strength with more than 10 guerrilla units.

Zhang Jingwu, commander-in-chief of the detachment, said that at present the strength of the Qilu guerrillas has seven or eight thousand troops, and although these forces are not as many as the strength of a brigade of instructors, Qilu has only been developing anti-Japanese armed forces for a few months, and it is only a few months before it can pull up a contingent of seven or eight thousand people, which shows how dense Qilu's population is, and the revolutionary cause is promising.

At present, the Qilu guerrillas are operating in the major mountainous areas such as Culai Mountain, Heitie Mountain, and Tianfu Mountain, and through the efforts of Li Yu, Zhang Jingwu, and others, these mountainous areas have now become extremely solid anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines for the Workers' and Peasants' Party.

After the reception banquet at noon, the first formal meeting of the Qilu Branch of the Workers' and Peasants' Party was formally held in Dayuzhuang, Mengyin, and the members of the branch Zhang Cheng, Xiao Hua, Li Yu, Zhang Jingwu, Zhang Fengming, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Guo Hongtao, and Hu Wei all attended the meeting.

At the meeting, the order of the party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission to establish the Qilu sub-bureau and the Qilu military region was first conveyed, and the main personnel appointments of the sub-bureaus and military regions were announced, and the main tasks of the sub-bureaus and military regions were to make use of Qilu's huge population base, expand the anti-Japanese armed forces of the workers' and peasants' party behind enemy lines by a factor of 1,000 times, and form a powerful corps with regular troops as the backbone and local troops, militia forces, and guerrilla detachments as the backbone, so as to make tremendous contributions to driving the Japanese devils out of China as soon as possible.

The meeting combined the armed forces of the original instructors and the Qilu guerrilla detachment, and divided them into more than 10 anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines according to the main line of the Qilu Railway and the Yellow River Valley.

According to the resolution, these five regional base areas are the Luzhong anti-Japanese base areas with the 1st Brigade as the backbone; the Lunan anti-Japanese base area with the Second Brigade as the backbone; a coastal anti-Japanese base with the Fifth Brigade as the backbone; the Jiaodong anti-Japanese base area with the Seventh Brigade as the backbone; The Bohai Rim anti-Japanese base area with the Eighth Brigade as the backbone.

Under the five major anti-Japanese base areas, they are subdivided into southwestern Shandong base areas, western Shandong base areas, eastern Hebei base areas, southeastern Hebei base areas, southeastern Shandong base areas, and so on.

Secondly, after the approval of the Central Committee, the instructor and the Qilu local troops were merged to formally form the Qilu Column, and the First Brigade and the Luzhong Guerrilla Detachment were merged to form the first detachment of the Qilu Military Region, and the commander of the detachment was Chen Zhengxiang; The Second Brigade and the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment were merged to form the Second Detachment of the Qilu Military Region, with Ding Wei as the commander of the detachment; instructed the Fifth Brigade to form the third detachment of the Qilu Military Region, and Zhang Wenlong served as the commander of the detachment; instructed the Seventh Brigade to form the Fourth Detachment of the Qilu Military Region, and the commander of the detachment was Yang Zi; He instructed the Eighth Brigade to form the Fifth Detachment of the Qilu Military Region, and Deng Hua served as the commander of the detachment.

In addition, in order to take care of the sentiments of the local comrades in Qilu, Zhang Cheng proposed that the original Qilu local armed forces be merged into the Sixth Detachment of the Qilu Military Region, with Comrade Zhang Jingwu, deputy commander of the Qilu Military Region, concurrently serving as the commander of the Sixth Detachment, Comrade Jiang Hua as the political commissar, and Comrade Wang Bing as the chief of staff.

At the same time, in order to confuse the Japanese army and not excessively provoke the Kuomintang authorities, the democratic government at the level of Qilu Province was temporarily not established, and the affairs of the province were temporarily taken care of by the Qilu Sub-Bureau. As for the county-level government, it is not subject to this restriction and can be established with great fanfare.

Finally, Zhang Cheng, as the first secretary of the Qilu Branch, made a closing speech, he concluded: "Today's meeting will soon come to an end, first of all, I would like to thank the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission for their trust in our Qilu Branch, and entrust us with the important task of developing the Qilu anti-Japanese armed forces.

I believe that as long as we unite as one, think in one place, and exert ourselves in one place, we will certainly be able to resist the strength of the anti-Japanese armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Great Qilu thousands of times, build the anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy lines of Qilu into an unbreakable and strong fortress of the Chinese revolution, and contribute the greatest strength to the cause of the anti-Japanese war of the whole country.

After the meeting was dismissed, the comrades returned to the various districts under their jurisdiction, and they must, in accordance with the spirit and resolutions of the meeting, go deep among the masses, be anxious about what the masses are anxious about, think about what the masses think, fully mobilize the masses, and let the Japanese invaders and all internal and external enemies fall into the vast sea of our Qilu people's war, wipe out all the Japanese invaders, and return the world to a clean and bright Great Qilu.

Finally, I want to say that the first official meeting of the Qilu Branch is a united conference, a victorious conference, this meeting will open a new page in the Qilu War of Resistance and become a memorable major event in history, and we, as the decision-makers and participants of this major event, will be engraved in the textbooks of history, gentlemen, for this grand goal, please work hard! Okay, that's the end of this meeting, after the meeting I ask you to stay and eat, thank you! ”

After the meeting, Zhang Cheng really held a sumptuous banquet to entertain the comrades who came to the meeting, and after the comrades had preliminary exchanges, they quickly became familiar with each other, and everyone drank happily together, so happy.
