This is just the tip of the iceberg in the tens of millions of heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army in the occupied areas after its invasion of China.
After the Japanese invasion of China began, with the fall of a large territory, the Japanese army carried out cruel colonial rule, economic plunder and enslavement education in the occupied areas. These countless crimes aroused strong resistance from the people in the occupied areas.
In order to organize and lead the people of China to resist the Japanese imperialist aggression, under the guidance of the all-round anti-Japanese war line, the Kuomintang * * * production party has done a lot of hard and meticulous work in a planned and focused way in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and enemy-occupied areas, and waged a hard and lasting struggle with the Japanese aggressors.
After the fall of Guanghan, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the stalemate stage, and the battlefield behind enemy lines led by the * * * Production Party also entered the most difficult stage called "the darkness before dawn" by Mao Zedong. At this time, the Japanese invaders mainly attacked the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army behind enemy lines.
194 1 February, 2000, as soon as Okamura Ningji became the commander of the Japanese army in North China, he issued an order: "The * * * production party and the Eighth Route Army in North China must be completely wiped out within four months", vowing to establish a "Greater East Asia * * * glory circle" in his blood. With regard to the occupied areas and the National Government, Japan implemented the policy of "controlling China with China" and "supporting war with war". "Controlling China with China" is to win over and politically induce China's capitulators, organize a puppet regime, forge the illusion that the regime will be returned to the people of China, and split China's anti-Japanese United front; "Fighting to support the war" is an economic attack, the main way is to search for a lot of manpower and material resources in the occupied areas, implement colonial rule, and manage the occupied areas to support the needs of the war.
With the change of Japan's strategic policy, different groups of the highest authorities of the Kuomintang have also been divided. Although Chiang Kai-shek persisted in the war of resistance, he did not surrender to Japan. However, with the rapid development of guerrilla warfare in the anti-Japanese base areas and behind enemy lines, and the rapid expansion of the leadership of the * * * production party, his vigilance against the * * * production party has obviously improved. At the end of 1938, Chiang Kai-shek wrote: "It is really worrying that the * * * production party took the opportunity to expand its power."
Since then, the Kuomintang has constantly created friction incidents in various places, stopped distributing wages, ammunition, clothing and other materials of the Eighth Route Army, and the anti-Japanese United front was in jeopardy.
In order to break the Japanese imperialism's political and economic aggression strategy and unite all forces that can resist Japan to the maximum extent, under the changing situation of the relationship between the two parties, China's * * * production party formulated the "16-character policy" of "being lean in the shade, lying in ambush for a long time, accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity" according to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's strategic task and struggle needs, and started its work in Kuomintang-controlled areas and enemy-occupied areas.
1939 65438+ 10, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established the southern bureau with Zhou Enlai as its secretary to fully lead the party's work, including the Kuomintang-controlled areas in South China and Southwest China. 1940 September, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China * * * set up a working committee behind enemy lines, which was still under the overall responsibility of Zhou Enlai. Its main task is to lead and promote the work of the whole city behind enemy lines.
Leading the people in the occupied areas to carry out legal struggle.
In response to the Japanese army's attempt to plunder China's resources, the Party organizations led the workers in the occupied areas to interfere with and destroy the enemy's deployment by destroying and striking.
1942 to 1943, the workers of Shanghai electric power company adopted the way of "organized struggle in an unorganized form", took advantage of the lunch break of Japanese managers, quickly assembled and sat down for a strike, but the strike retreated slightly; French commercial hydropower companies adopt the way of "headless struggle". "Workers don't send representatives, not to mention conditions, not out of the workshop. They just don't work and complain about their difficulties. The workers didn't return to normal work until the management agreed to increase their wages. "
Under the leadership of the party, mass organizations have not been greatly damaged, and they have maintained a continuous struggle against the Japanese aggressors.
Raise the banner of the anti-Japanese national United front
Under the guidance of the policy of consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese national United front, in enemy-occupied areas and state-controlled areas, party organizations unite and win over various anti-Japanese forces behind enemy lines through various channels. We should not only win over patriots in cultural circles, national industrial and commercial circles and foreign friendly people who sympathize with China's anti-Japanese war, but also use the contradiction between the enemy and the puppet to divide and disintegrate the enemy and concentrate on attacking the Japanese aggressors and their lackeys.
In North China, the underground party organized the "North China People's Armed Self-Defense Committee" through the United front under its leadership, and widely mobilized and organized anti-Japanese people from all walks of life to participate in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement. The underground party in Peiping actively worked for the upper classes of society and the cultural and educational circles, which made Professor Dong Luan of yenching university, Professor Lan of China University and Professor Li Jianbo of Normal University leave Peiping one after another and came to the anti-Japanese base areas.
In East China, the Shanghai Party organization contacted the upper level through various dinners, United the celebrities and national capitalists from all walks of life in Shanghai who were in favor of the war of resistance against Japan, and strived for their common resistance against Japan.
In the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the Southern Bureau headed by Zhou Enlai has done a lot of work around safeguarding ethnic cooperation, winning over democratic parties and intellectuals, and consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese national United front. He has carried out many fruitful United front work on Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Chong, Zhang Zhizhong, NLD and Kuomintang Salvation Association.
1942 At the beginning of the year, after the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, the CPC Central Committee and the Nanfang Bureau organized a nine-month secret rescue operation for intellectuals, and rescued more than 800 anti-Japanese patriotic cultural figures, Democrats and their families, including He Xiangning, Liu Yazi, Zou Taofen, Mao Dun, Hu Sheng and Xia Yan, and helped nearly 100 international friends escape from danger.
This rescue work has made intellectuals feel the broad mind of the * * * production party, strengthened their confidence and determination to cooperate with the * * * production party, and played an important role in consolidating and developing the anti-Japanese national United front.
The struggle on the hidden front
The party has established a hidden front in enemy-occupied areas and carried out fruitful intelligence work.
The party's intelligence department uses various relationships to collect all kinds of important information, such as the deployment of enemy troops along the railway, the blockade of artillery buildings and the setting of checkpoints, and the mobilization of Japanese and puppet organs, enterprises and institutions, which provides an important basis for the decision-making of the base areas and the leading organs of the CPC Central Committee.
Founded in March of 1939, the Social Department of the Central Branch of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei sent hundreds of intelligence personnel to Ping Jin, Shanghai, Shenyang, Harbin, Changchun and other popular cities, organized contacts with local secret party member, progressive youth and anti-Japanese patriots, infiltrated the enemy and formed thousands of underground soldiers. In order to establish the secret communication lines between the city and the anti-Japanese base areas and collect all kinds of munitions for the revolutionary base areas, four important secret communication lines were established between Ping Jin and the anti-Japanese base areas in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei.
In Shanghai, Pan Hannian, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's vice minister of social affairs, adopted the strategy of "going in" and "going out" and went deep into the Japanese puppet party and government organizations, and obtained a lot of strategic information about Japan, including the activities of Britain and France in Munich in the Far East in199, the outbreak of the German-Soviet war in194, Japan's "going south" strategy and
Carry out anti-Japanese propaganda through various channels
Through various open and secret channels, the party has carried out extensive publicity and education on patriotism and new democracy among the broad masses of the people in Kuomintang-controlled areas and enemy-occupied areas.
In order to enhance the people's confidence in the anti-Japanese war in enemy-occupied areas, the party organizations publicized and educated the people through individual series, oral talks, reading sessions and secretly posting anti-Japanese leaflets, and encouraged a large number of progressive young people to join the revolution in the revolutionary base areas or participate in the anti-Japanese underground struggle.
In the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the Central South Bureau published a large number of articles and editorials through Xinhua Daily and People, which were founded in Wuhan, publicizing the party's line, principles and policies and the anti-Japanese national United front, inspiring people again and again and sowing hope in the war.
Central Committee's Instructions on "Southern Anhui Incident"
In order to expose the political oppression and cultural rule of the Kuomintang after the Southern Anhui Incident, under the direct guidance of Zhou Enlai, Guo Moruo created the historical drama Qu Yuan. His performance caused a sensation in the mountain city, shook the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and made the Kuomintang helpless, which played an important role in exposing the Kuomintang's crimes of undermining the anti-Japanese national United front and expanding the political influence of the China * * production party.
