They reported to us on behalf of the 6 million people of the five prefecture committees. They said that the prefecture committee's special organization has been completely formed, the military sub-district has been completely formed, and the security group of the four counties has three to five hundred people. In addition to leaving one company to serve as the garrison task of the county town, the remaining county troops were led by Commander Zhai Yidong and carried out bandit suppression missions in Buyuntian District, Erdaofuzi area. The Prefectural Committee and the Special Administration Commission are investigating the remnants of Japanese and puppet forces. The bandits are now mainly in Erdaojizi in Zhuanghe and Buyunshan District east of Gaiping. They are in groups of three or five, and they are political and economic bandits.
Some are habitual bandits. The bandits in Xinjin and Fu counties have been cleared. The people demanded that reduce rent and interest rate , and even demanded land reform. They also proposed that Japanese imperialism has 5 to 10 apple orchards in each county. Everyone agreed that the situation was good and the people demanded the allocation of orchards.
I think the situation and suggestions they reported are all very good. They all mobilized the masses to eliminate bandits and prepare for the battlefield according to the instructions of the Northeast Bureau. They quoted Comrade Chen Yun's words, "The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again." Due to major policy issues, we have no right to make a decision. The six comrades unanimously suggested that I ask my superiors for instructions. Deputy Political Commissar of the Military Region, Li Hui and Gan (Editor's note, one page missing from the original book here)
and other county party secretaries went to the Liaonan Military Region to report their work and bandit suppression. They said that the 20 or 30 gangs had basically been eliminated, and some scattered bandits fled to Anshan , Liaoyang , and Benxi . Now there are still 30 or 5 groups of landlords fighting guerrillas in the deep mountains and forests. They proposed to mobilize the masses in depth to reduce rent and interest rates, give benefits to the masses, completely annihilate the remaining bandits, and dig out their political and economic foundations.
This time, I and I, political commissar Li Hui, deputy political commissar Chen Yifan, chief of staff Jin Zhenzhong, and political department head He Xia, listened to their report and felt very good. Local party, government, military and civilians, from townships to counties, , and were organized. We will work together to further eliminate bandits. They unanimously asked me to go to Anton again.
At that time, Deputy Political Commissar Li Hui and Chief of Staff Jin Zhenzhong arranged to load sandbags on the truck , bring two grenade launchers , two machine guns , and bring more than 20 people to prepare for combat and ensure safety. They drove to Andong overnight.
This time Comrade Xiao Hua instructed: "I think you will organize an Military and Political Committee first. Wu Ruilin, Lin Yishan, Li Hui, Chen Yifan and Zou Lufeng are members. Wu serves as secretary of the Military and Political Committee. Chief of Staff Jin Zhenzhong and Director He Xia can attend the meeting. Wu Ruilin and Li Hui are in charge of the army; Chen Yifan is responsible for presiding over local work, and Zou Lufeng is responsible for government work. This way your work will be easy to carry out.
I also proposed that the comrades of the two prefecture committees and county committees believe that Japanese imperialism occupies dozens of land in each county as a dominant area and plant orchards, and 100 hamlets in Xiongyue City, south of Gaiping. High-quality apples are planted for the Japanese imperial palace for food. . The masses had strong reactions to these apple orchards and asked for distribution. Comrade Xiao Hua heard this and was silent for a while and said, "This issue is very important. You draft a telegram and report to the Northeast Bureau." I wrote a report on the opinions of the two prefectural party secretaries and ten county party secretaries, and issued a report on the opinions of the people who requested the orchards, which were signed by Comrade Xiao Hua and reported to the Northeast Bureau. The Northeast Bureau and the leaders of the Northeast Military Region , Lin Biao, Peng Zhen, and Luo Ronghuan signed instructions: Immediately allocate all orchards to farmers without land and with little land. Comrade Xiao Hua asked me to follow this instructions.
I said, "I have difficulty in implementing the instructions, and there are brothers stationed in the area."Comrade Xiao Hua drafted another telegram, forwarding instructions from the Northeast Bureau and Northeast Army to the relevant brothers, asking them to transfer the troops out of the occupied orchard, and the Liaonan Military and Political Committee will handle the instructions of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Military Region. I immediately returned to the Xiaogushan Military Region's headquarters and communicated with the comrades in the military region. Everyone's unanimous opinions on the study were to ask the Secretary of the Prefectural Committee Yang Chunmao, the Secretary of the Prefectural Committee Liu Yunhe, the Secretary of the Five Prefectural Committee Zhang Xueshi, Run Zhizeng and others to attend a meeting in Xiaogushan. They arrived overnight on the cart . After everyone's research, we support the decision of the Military and Political Committee. This was instructed by Comrade Xiao Hua, secretary of the branch, and everyone had no different opinions. The issue of distribution of orchards should be issued in the name of the Liaonan Garage Command, the Political Department and the local specialized agency in the name of the public and implemented immediately. This announcement was drafted by three comrades Chen Yifan, Zou Lufeng and He Xia.
Both prefectural committees held an enlarged meeting of county party committee secretaries. After investigation and statistics, how many farmers in the landless and small land were announced, the notice of the Liaonan garrison and the notice of the Commissioner's Office were held, and the mass meeting of the orchards was held. It was announced on the spot that the orchard would be allocated to farmers with no land and little land. This task will be completed within half a month. After allocating the orchards, a propaganda campaign was launched, and the Liaonan area formed a climax of supporting the government and loving the people and actively joining the army. At this climax, only 4,000 people joined the army. The two main regiments of the First Regiment and the Second Regiment of our Independent Division each increased to 3,000 people, the Second and Fourth Regiments increased to 2,000 to 2,500 people, and the Artillery Regiment 1,200 people, each district established guard battalions, each county established security regiments, district squadrons, and township construction teams, which were generally established. This is the first time we have given benefits to the people, and the people's awareness has improved, and the plan proposed by Comrade Luo Ronghuan to expand to 20,000 to 25,000 people in southern Liaoning was realized. On this basis, the army's political and ideological work and military quality training were strengthened, thus enabling southern Liaoning to initially complete the battlefield preparations.
