"The mountains are stained red with blood, and the morale is heroic. The wind and drinks reveal ambitions like rainbows, Lying tiredly on the grass and rocks as a pillow, I felt like I was drunk by the spring breeze."

This is a popular poem written by Cai Huiwen in March 1935 during the breakout. At the end of January of the following year, Cai Huiwen unfortunately died heroically in a battle to cover the troops out of the enemy siege. He was 28 years old, which is exactly 50 years ago.

Cai Huiwen, nicknamed Chichao, was born in You County, Hunan Province in 1908. He joined the party in 1926 and participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising the following year. He has successively served as the company party representative of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the party representative of the teaching team, the detachment political commissar, the military political commissar, and the provincial military region commander. He is an outstanding commander of the Red Army with outstanding merits. troops and smashed the enemy's counterrevolutionary "encirclement and suppression" campaign, making significant contributions.

Cai Huiwen is a staunch communist fighter. As early as his teenage years, he was exposed to democratic revolutionary ideas and determined to change the dark society. In his compositions, he once exposed the evils of feudal society with sharp verses such as "Farmers work as cattle and horses, and local tycoons are like gods. Born on the same land, rich and poor have two heavens." And he shouted loudly for the poor people: "When will there be equality, I will ask the sky!"

After joining the party in the summer of 1926 at Changjun Middle School, Cai Huiwen actively participated in the peasant movement. Personally lead poor farmers to open warehouses and distribute grain at their homes. In early 1927, the party organization selected him to study in the Hunan Peasant Self-Defense Army Cadre Training Corps. On May 21, the "Mar-Day" incident occurred in Changsha. During the battle against Xu Kexiang's rebels, he led some students to fight at the gate of Chuanshan Academy to protect the safety of the corps' organs.

After the failure of the Great Revolution, Cai Huiwen was wanted by the enemy. He disguised himself and sneaked back to his hometown, where his mother persuaded him to "reinforce himself" with the promise of millions of dollars in wealth and a comfortable life. He resolutely abandoned the family fortune given by his parents and insisted on taking the revolutionary path he chose. So he left home without hesitation, traveled to Wuhan, found a party organization, and joined the Autumn Harvest Uprising with the troops led by Lu Deming, and participated in the opening and construction of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area. In June 1930, Cai Huiwen was promoted to political commissar of the Red Army and shouldered more important responsibilities. He believes that belief and goal are crucial to accomplish any difficult mission. When he got together with his brother Cai Lanjie (political commissar of the 34th Division of the 12th Red Army), he signed an inscription with "Red Tide": "On the third anniversary, we have the determination to sacrifice and fight," further expressing his support for the Communist Party of China. Sincerity for the cause of communism.

With his unwavering belief in communism, Cai Huiwen overcame numerous difficulties and successfully completed various combat missions against "encirclement and suppression" in the Central Soviet Area and the Hunan-Jiangxi Soviet Area. The Kuomintang authorities issued a warrant of 80,000 yuan to arrest him. The "Left" opportunists also accused him because he did not resolutely implement the military adventure policy of the Central Committee of Wang Ming. Cai Huiwen never wavered and still devoted all his efforts to the cause of the party. . In the autumn of 1935, the situation in the guerrilla war in Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi was extremely tense. A few weak-willed people succumbed and deteriorated, and some actually defected and became the Kuomintang's "guerrilla commanders for suppressing the Communist Party." Cai Huiwen always adhered to the integrity of the Communists. He said: "I am an intellectual from a landlord's family. Why don't I go to the Kuomintang to get promoted and make a fortune? Instead of staying at home to build a family business and enjoy happiness, why do I come here to suffer the hardships of the revolution? Because I am * Communist Party member." It was during the enemy's invasion, the ice and snow, and the hunger and cold that he suffered. He still led his troops to fight bravely and never wavered in compromise. In the end, he was seriously injured in the battle. In order to preserve the revolutionary power, he resolutely lay in a pool of blood and fought with the enemy until he died heroically.

Cai Huiwen is an outstanding Communist Party member who abides by party discipline and has a decent style. During the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" war in the Hunan-Jiangxi Soviet Area, Cai Huiwen adhered to the strategies and tactics of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare formulated by Comrade Mao Zedong, and effectively thwarted the enemy's crazy attack. However, because he implemented a course of action that was exactly the opposite of Wang Ming's Central Committee's "Determined Offensive" strategy, he was attacked and persecuted by Liu Shijie and Chen Hongshi (both of whom later rebelled) who had stolen important positions in the Hunan-Jiangxi Provincial Committee. He was labeled as a "right opportunist and wavering". Soon, his mother was also captured by the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region Short Gun Team and taken to Yongxin. Cai Huiwen, as the commander-in-chief of the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region, did not intervene in this emergency. At that time, some comrades advised him to intercede on behalf of his mother. He replied flatly: "Business matters must be dealt with. My mother's affairs can only be handled by the organization." Later, some comrades asked his wife to go to the provincial party committee leaders. When Cai Huiwen learned the news, he sternly warned his wife: "You will never be allowed to use my authority for personal gain!" He used his exemplary actions to safeguard the party's discipline and principles.

After the autumn of 1933, the anti-"encirclement and suppression" war in Hunan and Jiangxi did not go well. Under the guidance of the erroneous idea of ??"examining the reasons for the defeat in the Hunan-Kiangxi battle is right deviation", the "left" adventurists want to hold certain commanders accountable.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Cai Huiwen stood up and said frankly, regardless of personal honor or loss, "Because the army did not launch a struggle against the right-leaning opportunism headed by me, ×× and ×× repeated such mistakes." He took full responsibility and protected a group of revolutionary comrades. He also worked with Comrades Wang Zhen and Xiao Ke to truthfully report the situation to Comrade Ren Bishi, Secretary of the Hunan-Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, and saved Comrade Zhang Qilong, one of the main founders of the Hunan-Jiangxi revolutionary base area, from being poisoned. Cai Huiwen's series of actions of adhering to the truth are all based on the interests of the party and the revolution. He never joins gangs, speaks ill of others, and never makes trouble behind his back. When he was forced to write an inspection, even his wife was not allowed to interfere with the cause and effect of the matter, so as to avoid disagreements that were detrimental to the party's cause. In the difficult war environment, Cai Huiwen held such a high position, but he never sought any personal gain beyond the provisions of the party constitution. He ate the same meals as the soldiers and shared the same amount of "meal tail". Sometimes he only wears a pair of shorts in winter, and he climbs and beats with the soldiers, and goes out for training together. There is no official airs, and he appears among the masses as an ordinary party member. Especially during the period when he was attacked and persecuted by the "Left" line, Cai Huiwen always sincerely accepted the organization's review of himself, carefully examined his faults in his work, and never used his achievements to forgive himself, which showed * The broad mind of the Communists.

Cai Huiwen is a model pioneer who adheres to the party's mass line, unites the broad masses of cadres, soldiers and the people, and fights bravely for the cause of the party. During the Jinggangshan period, Cai Huiwen served as the party representative of the Fourth Red Army Training Team. He always took advantage of learning and training problems to personally lead students down the mountain to fight local tyrants, taking off his long trousers to use as bags, and carrying the food he got up the mountain. He also took the lead in grinding rice with stones to solve the feeding problem of the teaching team. At night, like the students, he had no quilt, so he got into the haystack and spent the night. In winter, when the trainees were too cold to sleep, he would burn a pile of firewood in the house. He would sit by the fire and write a training plan. He would keep working and let the trainees rest as much as possible so as to maintain more energy to complete the training tasks. . While working in the Central Soviet Area, Cai Huiwen often used the opportunity to rest between battles to lead the commanders and soldiers of the Red Army to solve life problems by themselves. He also organized troops to participate in agricultural production, doing everything possible to reduce the burden on the people and help fellow villagers rebuild their homes. When he was working in the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region, in order to mobilize and win the support of the broader masses of the people and participate in the revolutionary war, he required all units, especially the local armed forces, to strictly abide by mass discipline, safeguard the interests of the masses, and correct bad tendencies that infringe on the interests of the masses. He also repeatedly stressed the need to fight against corruption, extravagant expenditures and waste in party and government agencies, and to carry out savings campaigns to reduce the burden on the people.

In the days when we broke out from the Central Soviet Area and reached Nanling, it was all up to the comrades to open up a way of survival at the expense of their own flesh and blood. Cai Huiwen always took the lead. Whenever he encountered obstacles at checkpoints, he would always hold a machine gun and bravely rush to the front to clear a bloody passage for the troops. After continuous bloody battles, the soldiers were hungry and exhausted. As soon as they were out of danger, he would let the troops hide in the mountains and forests to rest for a while, but he himself often served as a guard for everyone. Every time he heard the sweet snoring of the officers and soldiers, he felt extremely happy, "as if drunk by the spring breeze"! What was particularly touching was that during the breakout, the troops were forced into a desperate situation on a cliff by the enemy. While he commanded the troops to repel the enemy's crazy siege one after another, he also asked everyone to take off their straps and connect them as ropes, preparing to pull the commanders and soldiers They hang from the cliff. He himself held a machine gun and stood at the forward position. Unexpectedly, his comrades did not obey his instructions, and several cadres and soldiers rushed up and tied him up. He said: "For the sake of the party and our army, your commander must go down first." Cai Huiwen burst into tears and had no choice but to listen to the mercy of his subordinates. Precisely because Cai Huiwen thinks about the cadres and soldiers at all times, everyone follows him unswervingly, through thick and thin, through adversity and hardship, and overcomes all difficulties and obstacles. This unit had more than 1,800 people when it set out. After continuous fighting, many comrades fell, and some were scattered by the enemy, leaving only more than 80 people. However, when the troops arrived at Nanling, the wounded and scattered soldiers supported each other and returned to the team together. More than three hundred heroes covered in battle dust and scars miraculously gathered around Cai Huiwen.

In order to open up guerrilla base areas on the Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi border, Cai Huiwen led the commanders and fighters to actively engage in mass work, publicize the party's policies, and mobilize and organize the masses to participate in the struggle. Even though the troops had nothing after breaking out of the Central Soviet Area, he still educated the commanders and soldiers to distribute all the food and materials obtained from the local tyrants to the poor farmers. The crowd was all moved. Young and middle-aged people have asked to join the Red Army guerrillas, and the elderly and women have taken the initiative to purchase supplies for the guerrillas and serve as secret transport. As a result, many people were ruined by the enemy, and they were even willing to be killed. Later, the enemy burned and killed the guerrilla base areas on a large scale, implemented the "Three Lights" policy, forced immigrants to merge with villages, and cut off the contact between the guerrillas and the people. In an unprecedented difficult environment, the guerrillas lived an inhuman life. In order to encourage his comrades to have confidence in victory and tide over the difficulties, Cai Huiwen, like his subordinates, had no house to live in, so he built shacks on the mountains; if he had no food to eat, he gnawed grass roots and tree bark. In the winter of 1935, the troops did not see a grain of rice for more than half a month. The soldiers still followed Cai Huiwen and fought tenaciously with the enemy.

Because everyone knew that Commander Cai's stomach was just like his own, filled with leaves and grass roots. In the early spring of 1936, the sad news suddenly came that Cai Huiwen had died heroically in battle. All the officers and soldiers burst into tears, feeling extremely sad that our party and our army had lost a great soldier. Everyone turned grief into strength, carried forward the revolutionary spirit of martyr Cai Huiwen, and successfully completed the three-year arduous course of the guerrilla war.

It is the 50th anniversary of the death of martyr Cai Huiwen for the revolution. We are troubled that the loyal bones of the martyrs have not yet been found. Let us borrow the poems written by the martyrs during their lifetime to comfort their spirits: "Loyal bones are buried in the holy land, and the majestic spirit runs through the rainbow." Cai Huiwen's martyrdom will always live in the hearts of the people. The revolutionary spirit of martyr Cai Huiwen will always inspire us to march forward victoriously along the path pioneered by our ancestors.

Martyr Cai Huiwen will live forever!
