1927 In February, Zhang was admitted to Suide No.4 Normal School in Shaanxi Province. In March of the same year, his schoolmates Qiao Dingming and Gao Zaiwei introduced him to join the Communist Youth League of China and served as members of the Communist Youth League of Suishi. 1929 was converted into party member.
Suixi--the cradle of revolution in northern shaanxi. Comrade Li Zizhou joined the Party as early as Peking University. He served as the teacher's teacher and Mingxuan Yang as the educational director. Most teachers from all directions are members of * * *. This school has trained a large number of revolutionary cadres, who have received Marxist education here and embarked on the revolutionary road. 1927 after the failure of the great revolution, northern Shaanxi, like other parts of the country, was in a state of white terror. Sui Shi was taken away. * * * members, Communist Youth League members and progressive faculty members were forced to leave the school. Zhang is one of them.
Faced with the sinister situation, the party organizations in northern Shaanxi shifted the focus of the party's work to the countryside in time. 1in the spring of 928, Zhang accepted the party's assignment to engage in the activities of developing the party and organizing the Youth League in the name of being a primary school teacher in cheng jia cun, Wang of jia county, Gelao Village of Guojia and Pumpkin Village. He also mobilized troops according to the instructions of the party. 1932, the situation in northern Shaanxi became more severe. In the eighty-sixth division of the enemy garrison in Yulin, it destroyed the underground branch of * * * and killed dozens of revolutionary comrades, making it difficult for the secret service in northern Shaanxi to establish a foothold in Yulin and other counties. At that time, Zhao Boping, secretary of the Special Committee, came to Pumpkin Village, found Zhang and inspected the work there. Soon, Zhao Boping was transferred from the northern Shaanxi Special Committee, and Ma served as the secretary of the Special Committee. Later, he moved the Special Committee to Pumpkin Village, Zhang's hometown. Because the party organizations in Pumpkin Village and surrounding villages are relatively sound and the mass base is good, the Zhang family has become the contact point of the secret joint. His winter study became the seat of the special Committee. On the one hand, it is responsible for the work of the jia county Special Administrative Region, and on the other hand, it is responsible for the liaison and joint work of special committees.
For the safety of the party organization, whenever the special committee holds meetings and activities in Zhangjia, Zhang's parents take the initiative to stand guard. Zhang Wenhua, a simple and honest father, is very careful about the documents and funds stored at home, and always takes the revolutionary cause to his heart and regards it as his duty. During the activities of the Special Committee of Northern Shaanxi in Pumpkin Village, although the responsible comrades of the local party contacted the Special Committee frequently, there was never an accident, which ensured the safety of the Special Committee and the smooth progress of the Party's work. This is inseparable from the efforts of Zhang and his family. At that time, the enemy offered a reward for buying a head. His home was searched many times by the enemy, and his father was caught by the enemy, tied up and hanged, and almost tortured to death. For the safety of his family, the underground leader of the party specially held a fake funeral for his father and built a fake grave to deceive the enemy.
1933 in may, Zhang was appointed secretary of the county party Committee of jia county. In July, the fourth enlarged meeting of the CPC Northern Shaanxi Special Committee was held in Gaojiagua, Jiaxian County. Zhang attended the meeting as a representative of Jiaxian County. This meeting is an extremely important meeting in the history of struggle in northern Shaanxi. It had a far-reaching impact on the establishment of the Red Army, revolutionary guerrilla warfare and the establishment of the Soviet regime in northern Shaanxi. At this meeting, he was elected as a member of the CPC's Special Committee for Northern Shaanxi, responsible for the work of the peasant movement. Shortly after the four enlarged meetings of the Special Committee, six comrades were arrested and killed by the enemy because of the traitor's informer. During the bloodbath, Cui Tianfu, Ma, Ma, Zhang, Gao Changjiu, Chang and other leading comrades of the Northern Shaanxi Special Committee risked their lives to hold an emergency meeting of the Special Committee in Zhaizigou, jia county, and decided to send Chang to Tianjin to report to the Central North Representative. Other leading comrades visited various places and organized revolutionary armed forces. At the end of 1933, Zhang participated in organizing and leading the Mutouyu riots.
1in the spring of 934, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's representative in the north sent Comrade Xie Zichang back to northern Shaanxi as a special officer, leading the broad masses of soldiers and civilians to successfully smash the enemy's first counter-revolutionary "encirclement and suppression" against the Soviet area in northern Shaanxi. In June 5438+this year 10, the Shaanxi Special Committee decided to establish the Northwest Revolutionary Military Commission. Comrade Liu Zhidan went to northern Shaanxi to preside over the work of the Military Commission, and unified leadership and command of the revolutionary armed forces in the two Soviet areas, as well as in Shaanxi, Gansu and northern Shaanxi. At the end of the year, the 84th Division of the 27th Red Army was established in northern Shaanxi, with Yang Qi as the teacher and Zhang Wei as the political commissar and political commissar of the 1st Red Army Corps. Subsequently, it won three battles in succession. 1In April, 935, the 3rd Regiment of the Red 26th Army went north with the volunteers and joined forces with the 84th Division of the Red 27th Army in northern Shaanxi to establish the former enemy headquarters. Liu Zhidan served as commander-in-chief, and Zhang served as member of the Military Commission and secretary of the Party Committee of the General Command. Under the unified leadership and command of Comrade Liu Zhidan, he won many battles one after another, smashed the enemy's second "encirclement and suppression" of the Soviet area in northern Shaanxi, liberated six county towns, connected the two Soviet areas in northern Shaanxi and but so do dungans, and expanded the revolutionary base areas. After that, he fought against the Jin army and won two victories, which opened the prelude to the third anti-encirclement campaign.
1September, 935, the 15th Red Army Corps arrived in northern Shaanxi, and was co-edited with the 26th and 27th Red Army Corps in the northwest to form the 15th Red Army Corps. Zhang Xian was appointed as the political commissar of the 81st Division and the 78th Division of the 15th Army Corps, and the director of the local work department of the 15th Army Corps. Participated in the famous Battle of Laoshan, the Battle of Zhiluo Town and the Eastern Expedition. At that time, Liu Zhidan and Zhang lived together and fought side by side. It was not until after the Battle of Laoshan that Comrade Liu Zhidan was arrested and imprisoned for persecuting Wang Ming's left-leaning line that they were temporarily separated. Although Liu Zhidan was wronged, his integrity remained deeply in Zhang's heart.
On the eve of the battle of Zhiluo Town, dear Comrade Zhou Enlai came to Zhang Cun post. At this time, Zhang Zheng tried to arrest him on the grounds of eliminating counter-revolutionaries and expanding them, and some revolutionary comrades were buried alive and persecuted. Seeing Vice President Zhou, whom he admired for a long time, he seemed to be a wronged child who met his mother, reported his thoughts and opinions and asked to be transferred from the Red Fifteen Army. Vice President Zhou comforted him and said, "The mistake of eliminating counter-revolutionaries and expanding them is being corrected. You can comment, but don't be angry! * * * People should be resilient and stand up to grievances. You must continue to work hard in the 15 legion! " This is the first time Zhang has met this bearded chief. Although his words were brief, he was like a spring breeze, which increased his enterprising strength and confidence.
