Chapter 316: Hoe Jiān (1)

Han Yunhua was very dissatisfied with the current situation in Shandong, although the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong was not optimistic, and the negotiations between the Japanese army and the Huyan family seemed to have made substantial progress. But Han Yunhua still decided to give the Xinmin Association an unforgettable lesson, otherwise there will be more wavering wall grass willing to be the lackeys of the Japanese army, which Han Yunhua does not want to see.

After the reorganization of the instructors, there was a shortage of personnel in all departments, and according to Han Yunhua's idea, the instructors were expanded into a first-class division. Therefore, when Han Yunhua set up the shelf, he came according to his own concept, since there is a division of the Inner Méng Ancient Military Region, then the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong cannot be too shabby. The shelf has been erected, but this shelf is a little bigger, so there is a real shortage of instructors now.

After all, a first-class division is not so easy to form, otherwise how could Jiang have only formed so many first-class divisions. And what Han Yunhua lacks now is not only a matter of soldiers, weapons and equipment and the most important officers have become very important factors restricting the development of Han Yunhua's department. What made Han Yunhua feel most difficult was that the organs of the party organizations in Shandong had basically been paralyzed, and since Secretary Guo was injured and transferred back to Yan'an to recuperate, the party affairs in Shandong have almost come to a standstill.

Although Han Yunhua also has the title of a committee member in the Northern Bureau, Han Yunhua is a military leader who directly leads troops to fight after all, so Han Yunhua himself will subconsciously avoid his own local party affairs work, so Han Yunhua almost doesn't ask about the work of the Northern Bureau of the Ancient Military Region. Except for some meetings where he had to be present himself, Han Yunhua rarely went to the office of the Northern Bureau.

From the very beginning, Han Yunhua knew very well that the Eighth Route Army was able to achieve such great development in such a short period of time, and even defeated the whole of China in a few years, and even the invincible US imperialism suffered a great loss under the fried noodle rifle of the volunteers, which was inseparable from the ideological leadership of the party organization. This requires that the party organizations in all regions must be complete, be able to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to cooperate with the troops' actions, and provide all convenient conditions for the troops.

However, due to the destruction of the enemy, the party organizations in Shandong have fallen into a state of semi-silence, let alone helping Han Yunhua's subordinates, even if they protect themselves, it is difficult to solve this problem. In addition, the gang of Zihan Jiān of the Xinmin Association obstructed it, which led to heavy losses to the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government and local party committee organizations.

In order to do a better job in the anti-Japanese work, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to the bigwigs in Yan'an, hoping that the chairman would send a party veteran with sufficient weight to Shandong to preside over the construction of party affairs in Shandong. At the same time, Han Yunhua also hoped that the party Central Committee would be able to solve some cadre problems for the instructors, and it would be best to send some fierce generals in the army.

Soon Yan'an sent a telegram back, and the leaders of the Party Central Committee expressed their satisfaction that Han Yunhua had been able to achieve such great achievements in such a short period of time, and at the same time expressed their gratitude to Han Yunhua for his contributions to the party and the country. At the same time, the Party Central Committee decided to send Luo Ronghuan, political commissar of the 115th Division, to Shandong to assist Han Yunhua in his work, and ordered the work of rebuilding the Shandong Branch. Han Yunhua was appointed as the secretary of the Shandong Branch and the head of the teaching tutor, and Comrade Luo Ronghuan was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Shandong Branch and the political commissar of the teaching tutor.

This decision of the Party Central Committee made Han Yunhua feel dizzy, which and that, which completely deviated from the trajectory of history. Han Yunhua clearly remembered that there was indeed Luo Ronghuan among the ** senior military and political leaders who entered Shandong, but the most important thing was Chen Guang, a fierce general. However, now Chen Guang is still commanding the battle in southeastern Hebei, and the party Central Committee has no intention of sending him and his 115th Division to Shandong to preside over the work.

Han Yunhua is very confident in the work of rebuilding the Shandong Branch, because the foundation of the Shandong Branch is still there, as long as the Japanese puppet forces in Shandong broke out after the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan, in order to carry out the Shandong War of Resistance against Japan, the Shandong Provincial Party Committee (Secretary Li Yù) sent cadres to various parts of Shandong according to the instructions of the party's Luochuan Conference and the Northern Bureau, restored and established the party organization, launched an anti-Japanese armed uprising, formed an anti-Japanese armed force, and opened the curtain of the anti-Japanese armed struggle of the Shandong people under the leadership of China. ,

Because Shandong is in the position of a strategic hub linking North China and Central China, it is of great significance to realize the strategic policy of consolidating North China and developing Central China put forward by the Central Committee at that time. In late May 1938, Guo Hongtao was dispatched by the Central Committee to lead a group of cadres to Shandong, succeeding Li Yù as Secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee (at this time, Li Yù went to Yan'an to report to the Party Central Committee). Subsequently, the Shandong Provincial Party Committee was expanded into the Provincial Party Committee of the Sulu-Henan-Anhui Border District, and Guo Hongtao remained secretary. Since then, the anti-Japanese guerrilla units in Shandong have entered the stage of vigorously opening up and developing anti-Japanese base areas, from basically being in a state of mobile warfare in the past. After a year of arduous struggle in 1938, Shandong's anti-Japanese armed forces developed greatly, won a series of victories in the struggle against the enemy, and established a number of anti-Japanese base areas and vast guerrilla areas.

Historically, after the fall of Wuhan, the national war of resistance entered a phase of stalemate. In order to further strengthen Shandong's military command and political leadership and unify and rectify the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong, the Central Committee decided to establish the Shandong Branch and the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army. In November 1938, the Central Committee sent Zhang Jingwu and Li Yù to lead the students who graduated from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and the Northern Shaanxi Public School, as well as a part of the Red Army cadres and nearly 200 cadres from the former White District to arrive at the embankment of the provincial party committee in the border area. In December, according to the decision of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in November, the Provincial Party Committee of the Sulu-Anhui Border Region was changed to the Shandong Branch of the Central Committee, with Guo Hongtao as secretary and Guo Hongtao, Zhang Jingwu and Li Yù as members. From May to September 1939, the Northern Bureau decided to expand the Shandong Branch into the Sulu-Anhui Branch, with Guo Hongtao, Zhu Rui, Xu Xiangqian, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Guang, Li Yù, Zhang Jingwu, and Peng Xuefeng as members, and Guo Hongtao as secretary.

Historically, the CPC Central Committee was extremely concerned about the anti-Japanese situation in Shandong. Great changes were also made in the military aspect, so at the same time as the establishment of the Shandong Branch, the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army was announced to be established, with unified command of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong (excluding the Hebei-Lubian and Luxi regions), with Zhang Jingwu as the commander and Li Yù as the political commissar. The Shandong Column is a local armed force under the specific leadership of the **Shandong Branch. Its establishment marked the growth of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Insurrectionary Armed Forces from a number of scattered guerrilla units to a guerrilla regiment with a unified strategic command. Chen Guang, acting commander of the 115th Division, and Luo Ronghuan, political commissar, led the division headquarters and the main force of the 343rd Brigade into Shandong. In June, the central government sent Xu Xiangqian and Zhu Rui to work in Shandong, and in the first column, Xu Xiang was the commander, and Zhu Rui was the political commissar, and the departments of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong and northern Jiangsu were under unified command. In October, Zhu Rui took over as secretary of the Shandong Branch and concurrently served as secretary of the Shandong Military and Political Commission, leading the party, government, military and civilian work in Shandong in a unified manner.

Han Yunhua still recognized the work of the Shandong Branch in history, and the great achievements of the Second Shandong Branch also surprised Han Yunhua. Because the Shandong Sub-Bureau implemented a series of correct principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee on building anti-Japanese base areas, and because the 115th Division and the Shandong Column fought in concert, the anti-Japanese base areas and the people's armed forces in Shandong expanded rapidly. By the end of 1940, eight anti-Japanese base areas had been established, including Luxi, Qinghe, Lunan, Luzhong, Huxi, Jiaodong, Hebei, Lubian, and Binhai; The 115th Division grew to more than 76,000 people, and the Shandong Column grew to more than 54,000 people. The party's organization has also developed greatly, with more than 110,000 party members.

The period from 1941 to July 1943 was the most difficult period for the anti-Japanese base area in Shandong. Intimidated by the development of Shandong's anti-Japanese forces, the Japanese invading forces carried out inhumane campaigns of "sweeping up" and "strengthening public order" in various anti-Japanese base areas, causing serious division, blockade, and destruction of the base areas. Under the extremely difficult situation, the Shandong Sub-Bureau relied on and led the people in the base areas to carry forward the revolutionary spirit of heroism, tenacity, and hard struggle, implemented the correct policies of reducing rents and interest rates, streamlining the administration of the army, and practicing strict economy, carried out guerrilla warfare of dispersing and dispersing the masses, and adopted "flanking tactics" to counter the enemy's blockade, "encroachment", and "sweeping" the enemy's blockade.

At a time when the struggle between the military and the people of Shandong against the Japanese puppet and stubborn was in an extremely difficult situation, and the leaders of the Shandong Branch urgently needed to unify their thinking on some major issues, the Party Central Committee sent ** to Shandong in March 1942 to guide the work. ** He made a correct appraisal of Shandong's work over the past few years, sharply pointed out the existing problems, clarified the principle of struggle in the future, unified the thinking of leading members, and played a decisive role in reversing the passive situation in Shandong's work. Subsequently, the Shandong sub-bureau issued regulations on rent and interest reduction, tenant loans, etc., carried out a pilot project of rent reduction and interest reduction, and carried out a mass movement to reduce rent and interest in the Shandong anti-Japanese base area with letting go and mobilizing the masses as the center, and further strengthened the work of building the party, building the government, building the army, and establishing the people's armed forces and anti-Japanese mass organizations, so that Shandong's work was built on a solid mass foundation, and the Shandong anti-Japanese base area made great progress in the struggle against the Japanese puppet
