Chen Yi and "Guerrilla Ci in Southern Gansu"
Qiu Changfu
p>It’s almost noon, and my hunger is as loud as a drum. The grain blockade has been in effect for three months, and I have a lot of rice in my bag, including wild vegetables and boiled vegetables. Sighing for lack of food, I don’t taste meat for three months. They eat bayberries in summer and peel bamboo shoots in winter. They hunt wild boars all over the mountains and catch snakes even longer. Rely on the people and never forget support. He is a reborn biological parent, and I am a good son of the struggle, a strong revolutionary among the strong.
This is a poem from "Guerrilla Ci in Southern Gansu" written by Marshal Chen Yi in the spring of 1936. It records an unforgettable historical fact in the history of the Chinese revolution.
In October 1934, the main force of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area embarked on a long march. In order to strengthen the political and military leadership of the Soviet Area, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish the Central Branch of the Soviet Area, led by Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others. By January 1935, the area of ??the Soviet area had shrunk. Faced with a powerful enemy, the Central Branch of the Soviet Area decided to break out in 9 routes.
In March, Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others successively arrived in the Jiangxi and Guangdong border areas centered on Youshan. Xiang Ying sent a final telegram to the Party Central Committee to report on the troops' breakout and received a reply from the Central Committee. Because the central government changed the code and could not decipher it, Xiang Ying ordered the radio station to be buried and the code burned. From then on, the Red Army in the Soviet area lost contact with the central government and persisted in the arduous guerrilla war amidst the white terror. The enemy deployed heavy troops, adopted methods of emigrating and merging villages and driving people out of the mountains, and searched, surrounded, and burned mountains for a long time in an attempt to trap the guerrillas in the high mountains. The Red Army soldiers slept in the wild all year and month, spending time in forests and caves in windy, rainy and snowy weather. From late January to February 1936, rare heavy snow closed the mountains in the border areas of Jiangxi and Guangdong. The guerrillas had no food, so they could only pick wild fruits, vegetables, and peel bamboo shoots to satisfy their hunger. Faced with the plight of the Red Army guerrillas, the comrades of the underground party in southern Jiangxi organized the masses to take advantage of the ban on going into the mountains to cut firewood on the first and fifteenth day of each month. They hid rice in the bamboo poles used to carry firewood, dissolved salt into cotton-padded jackets, and tried to Throw it on the mountain and hand it over to the guerrillas. Chen Yi was eating rice "picked up" from the mountain in the secret stronghold of Youshan. He was filled with emotion and wrote this touching "Guerrilla Ci in Southern Gansu".
It was by relying on the support and cover of the people that our Red Army soldiers persisted in the guerrilla war in southern Jiangxi and won the victory in the struggle against the "clearance and suppression". As Comrade Chen Yi pointed out in a letter in 1942: "The three-year guerrilla war in the south, like the 25,000-mile Long March, proved that the Chinese Communist Party is an invincible great revolutionary force.
