Biography of the General (2): The Past of Mongolia.
On their way home, they passed through the Mongolian People's Republic and had an important exchange with the representative of the Third International to Mongolia, Amogaev. In order to strengthen the leadership of the revolution in Inner Mongolia, they established the Simon Working Committee of the Communist Party of China under the chairmanship of Amogayav, with Fo Ding as secretary and ** as the organizing member, while Kuibi, who was doing underground work in the Simon area, served as a propaganda member.
After the arduous trek, ** returned to his hometown Tumochuan after four years of absence. However, at this time, the revolutionary struggle in the western part of Inner Mongolia was suffering from a low ebb, and the White Terror was spreading. After Yan Xishan entered Beijing on June 15, 1928, and Chiang Kai-shek proclaimed "reunification" in Nanjing, China fell into the dark rule of the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang's bloody repression of the Communist Party and patriotic democrats intensified, and the party organizations in Inner Mongolia were almost destroyed, and party members and members of the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party went into hiding or on their own.
In the face of such a grim situation, ** carried out activities in secret. Under the leadership of Amogaev and after more than two months of hard work, he succeeded in establishing a number of bases of activity and liaison lines. As time passed, Foding was transferred back to the Comintern and succeeded him as secretary of the Simon Working Committee.
In the autumn of 1931, Wang Ruofei, secretary of the Northwest Special Committee of the Communist Party of China, came to Inner Mongolia at the decision of the Comintern and the Communist Party of China, and was responsible for developing and organizing the revolutionary movement in the five northwestern provinces (Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Shanxi, and Suiyuan), and his main work was to promote the national liberation movement. With the help of Zhu Shifu, he established contact with *** and jointly studied the issue of launching the Mongolian national liberation movement. Wang Ruofei also stressed the need to pay attention to organizing the revolutionary armed forces and launching armed struggle.
** He reported to Wang Ruofei on his work after returning to China, especially when talking about the armed struggle, he focused on the work of the armed "old regiment" in the Mongolian area of the Tumut Banner. This aroused Wang Ruofei's strong interest, thinking that he could use this as a basis to establish a Mongolian revolutionary armed force, and planned to let *** and Li Sen meet with the progressive officers and soldiers of the "old regiment" at the Suixi Hotel.
The "old first regiment" is a local cavalry armed force mainly composed of young Mongolian farmers and herdsmen of the Tumut Banner established in the early years of the first year, and its duty is to protect the territory and the people, exterminate bandits, and fight very bravely. During the Great Revolution, Li Yuzhi, secretary of the Baotou Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Ji Yatai, secretary of the Guisui Working Committee, got acquainted with some officers and soldiers of the "old regiment" by attracting relatives and making friends. **After returning to Simon, he also attached importance to the united front work with the officers and soldiers of the "old first regiment".
In 1932, the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army was established, and the officers and soldiers of the "Old First Regiment" spontaneously invited Ying to go to the anti-Japanese front line under the leadership of the regiment commander Li Genche to participate in the Chahar anti-Japanese war. However, after General Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, was forced to go into the wilderness, the officers and soldiers of the "Old First Regiment" were forced to withdraw to Inner Mongolia due to the instructions of Yan Xishan.
In 1936, the "old first regiment" was stationed in Fengzhen, and was instructed by Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi's department set up an ambush in Datong Gushan in the name of mobilizing defense, and forcibly disbanded this patriotic local national armed force by forcibly disbanding the officers and soldiers of the "old first regiment". Although the "old regiment" was disbanded, under the mobilization of comrades such as ***, some officers and soldiers joined the Mengqi Independent Brigade formed by the Bailingmiao riot troops, which was later reorganized into the "new third division" and continued to fight for the patriotic anti-Japanese cause.
In November 1931, Comrade Wang Ruofei tried to rescue Wang Ruofei from prison while following Wang Ruofei's instructions and focused on armed work. He went to Mongolia several times to report to the Comintern on Comrade Wang Ruofei's rescue situation. In order to save Wang Ruofei, he thought of Han Linfu, who was the chief of political training in the 41st Army, and rescued Wang Ruofei through the relationship between Han and Sun Dianying. Han Linfu is the introducer of ***, who was previously informed by a traitor**, and was later released under the strong recommendation of Sun Dianying.
After Han Linfu was transferred to the Ninth Army as the director of political training, he taught political courses in the 41st Army for a period of time. In addition to conveying to the officers and soldiers the current situation in China and the mission of the soldiers during the anti-Japanese period, he also stimulated the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the soldiers through talks and propaganda activities. In the process, ** also made contact with some progressive soldiers, publicized the political ideas of the Communist Party, and mobilized them to join the anti-Japanese struggle. Eventually, he succeeded in recruiting three progressive soldiers to join the Chinese Communist Party.
With the change of the situation, ** received instructions from the Third International, asking him to shift the focus of his work to ethnic work in the Suiyuan region, with the focus on winning the anti-Japanese resistance of the German king. Under the coordination of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, he secretly led the revolutionary work in the western region of Inner Mongolia. At the same time, the Mongolian autonomy movement is in the substantive stage, and preparations are being made to establish the Mongolian Local Self-Government Council. ** Gradually focus on national work and the struggle for the German king to resist Japan.
