The Anti-Japanese War History of Xiaotao Town

Xiaotao Town is located in the southwest of Yong'an, 45 kilometers away from the urban area, and adjacent to Xinluo District, Liancheng County and Zhangping City of Longyan City.

As early as January 15, 1931, Xiaotao Town, which was affiliated to Ningyang County, was called the Soviet Area by the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area. In May 1929, *** and Zhu De led the Red Army. The Fourth Army entered Fujian for the second time and opened up a revolutionary base in western Fujian, leaving its footprints and presence in the Xiaotao area.

On August 2, 1929, the second column and the third column of the Fourth Red Army met in Baisha and marched towards Ningyang County.

On the 4th, Zhu De led two columns to capture Ningyang County in one fell swoop. He posted a large number of notices and slogans and confiscated the property and food of the local tyrants and evil gentry. During the process, he passed by Xianglu Mountain in Wudi Village, Xiaotao Town, 1964. In January, Zhu De also wrote the poem "Crossing Xianglu Mountain": "Light cars passed under Xianglu Mountain, and the green bamboos and green firs reflected the morning glow.

The Railway Corps has increased its labor force, and the letter of support for the front line is intact" (see People's Daily Online China*** News).

In March 1930, the Western Fujian General Administration of Transportation was established. With Longyan as the center, it opened up four main mail routes, one of which is: Longyan-Zhangping- Ning Yang.

In May 1930, the "Report of Delegates from Western Fujian to the National Soviet Congress" submitted by the Soviet Communist Party of Western Fujian to the National Soviet Congress clearly recorded that Zhangping, Ningyang, Longyan, Yongding, Changting, Shanghang, Liancheng, and Wuping are all red areas.

On April 18, 1934, the 9th Red Regiment cooperated with the 7th Red Regiment to conquer Yong'an in one fell swoop and established the red regime - Yong'an County Revolutionary Committee (as evidenced by multiple issues of "Red China" reports).

On May 9, the Ninth Red Regiment, which had taken over the task of defending Yong'an City from the Seventh Red Regiment, followed the order of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission and voluntarily evacuated Yong'an and moved to the border area of ??Yan, Lien, Ning and Yong counties. Established a guerrilla base area covering the entire Xiaotao Town. Until the spring of 1936 after the main force of the Red Army's Long March, the Ninth Independent Regiment of the Red Army had been operating in Yong'an, Ningyang, especially Xiaotao Town (for details, see the Party History Research Office of the Yong'an Municipal Committee "Yanjiang Red Flag" published in the 1990s and "Red China·The Booming Red Guerrilla War in Southwest Fujian - There are still large Soviet areas in Hangyongyan and Ning'an, and the local Red Army is very active" on February 26, 1936. As a result, Xiaotao Town became one of the longest-lasting bases for the establishment of the party, the army and the government during the three-year guerrilla war. When Fang Fang went to Yan'an to report to the Communist Party of China in July 1937, he was highly praised by Chairman Mao. /p>

According to the map attached to Fang Fang (Weed Cao)'s memoir "Three Years of Guerrilla War" published by Zhonghua Book Company in April 1934, its scope includes the entire Xiaotao Town.

Xiaotao Town. Zhenshifeng Village was the first village to issue the declaration of going north to resist Japan. Xiaotao Town was also the first town to issue the declaration to go north to fight against Japan. It was the earliest departure point for the Long March.

Xiaotao Town is adjacent to Gutian Town, Liancheng County, central. The 62 pages of "Today's Long March Atlas" edited by the Party History Research Office and "The Long March of the First Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" published by the People's Publishing House in 1955, edited by the Party History Research Office of the Fujian Provincial Committee The march route maps included in books such as "The Advance Team of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Going North to Resist Japan" all prove that the Seventh Red Army set out from the Ruijin garrison in Jiangxi on July 7, 1934, passed through Changting and Tangqian in Liancheng County, and passed through Gu on the 14th. Natural villages such as Yaojiashe and Xiayu in Yu Village in Tian Town entered Shifeng Village, the first assembly area in Yong'an, for the first time on July 15, and were released in accordance with the provisions of the "Declaration for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to Go North to Resist Japan" The "Declaration for the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants to Go North to Resist Japan" was distributed in Shifeng Village.

Anti-Japanese"; and page 240 of "Chronicles of Major Events of the Communist Party of China" compiled by Li Songlin and others and published by *** Press in August 1988 also proves that "On July 15, 1934, the Chinese Soviet Communist Party and the Kuomintang The ** and the Revolutionary Military Commission issued the "Declaration for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to Go North to Resist Japan."

The Seventh Red Army led by Xun Huaizhou and Su Yu formed the anti-Japanese advance team, which first set off from Ruijin on March 6 and marched into Fujian.

Local old farmers also recalled that "the Red Army was I came here and picked out a lot of things, boxes after boxes. When I opened them, they were all printed papers. I handed them out to the locals when I saw them, and they even wrote slogans against the printed words."

No matter it is The authoritative materials of our party and our army, including the Red Army slogans and old people’s memories that have been preserved in Shifeng Village, as well as the "Chronicles of Major Events of the Communist Party of China", all prove that on July 15, 1934, the advance team of the Northward Anti-Japanese War issued the "Northern Anti-Japanese Declaration" in Shifeng Village. According to research, the "Declaration of Going North to Resist Japan" was published in Shifeng Village 16 days earlier than the "Declaration of Going North to Resist Japan" in Ruijin's "Red China" and "Red Star Newspaper".

Therefore, Shifeng Village was recognized as the first village in the declaration of going north to resist Japan in the article "Red Tourist Spot: Shifeng Village, the First Village Declaring the Declaration of Going North to Resist Japan" by the Party History Channel of People's Daily Online, the most authoritative website in history.
