What is the symbol of the anti-Japanese united front meeting? There are no meetings, but there are signs.
What signs? On September 22, 1937, the Kuomintang News Agency issued the "Declaration of the Communist Party of China for the Publication of the Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party".
On the 23rd, Chiang Kai-shek made a speech that actually recognized the legal status of the Communist Party, marking the formal formation of the anti-Japanese national united front based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
To put it simply, there are two points: first, the "Declaration of Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" issued by the National News Agency; The second is Chiang Kai-shek's speech, which recognizes the legitimate status of the Communist Party.
If there are specific implementation measures, there are two points: first, the Eighth Route Army will be reorganized, and the main force of the Communist Party will be reorganized into the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which will be subordinate to the Second Theater; The second is the reorganization of the New Fourth Army, which reorganizes the guerrillas and the Red Army in the south into the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
The anti-Japanese united front was actually the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The purpose of cooperation is to jointly resist Japanese aggression.
Of course, the opportunity for cooperation was also because of the Double 12 Incident in 1936, also known as the "Xi'an Incident", which was also a way for Chiang Kai-shek to fulfill his promises. The Xi'an Incident occurred obviously for the all-people War of Resistance.
So, that era was not a peaceful era, there were meetings for everything, how convenient was it in that era, the Japanese put the muzzle of a gun on your head, and you actually thought about a meeting, what did you think?
