Important argument

May 30, 1938

Mao Zedong published an article "Strategic Issues in the Guerrilla War Against Japan" in the 40th issue of "Liberation". In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many people within and outside the Chinese Communist Party despised the important strategic role of guerrilla warfare, and only pinned their hopes on regular warfare, especially the combat situation of the Kuomintang army, and explained the importance of guerrilla warfare. status. The article pointed out: In the War of Resistance Against Japan, regular warfare was the main one, and guerrilla warfare was auxiliary. We have correctly resolved this point. Why did you bring up the strategic issue of the anti-Japanese guerrilla war? It is because China, a large and weak country, was attacked by a small but strong country. Because China has a strong army under the leadership of the Communist Party and the broad masses of the people, the anti-Japanese guerrilla war mainly did not directly cooperate with the regular army at close range on the inside. Instead of fighting on the outside line alone, not on a small scale but on a large scale, the anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare, which was still in an auxiliary position during the entire Anti-Japanese War, ran out of the tactical scope and knocked on the strategic door. Investigate the issue of guerrilla warfare from a strategic point of view. Guerrilla warfare has its special strategic position. The article stipulates six policies for the anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare: proactively, flexibly and systematically execute offensive warfare in defensive warfare, quick decisive warfare in protracted warfare, and outer warfare in internal warfare; coordinate with regular warfare; establish base areas; Strategic defense and strategic offense; development towards mobile warfare; correct command relations. The article also specifically described the methods and ways of implementing these six policies, and finally pointed out: these six are the strategic program for all anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare, which is to preserve and develop oneself, eliminate and expel the enemy, cooperate with regular warfare, and strive for the last. The necessary way to victory. The article "Strategic Issues in the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla War" played an important role in unifying and enhancing the understanding of the strategic position of the whole party and the whole army in the anti-Japanese guerrilla war, and promoting the rapid development of the anti-Japanese guerrilla war. This article is included in the second volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

Mao Zedong delivered a speech at the award-giving conference for model youth held by the Northwest Youth Salvation Association. The speech pointed out: Twenty years ago, the young people who participated in the May Fourth Movement in Beijing were truly exemplary young people because they opposed the traitorous government, shed their blood in the May Fourth Movement, and participated in that kind of struggle. Many revolutionary youths at that time later became Communists. The youth movement in China has a very good revolutionary tradition, and this tradition is "permanent struggle." Our Communist Party has inherited this tradition, and it has been passed down now, and it will continue to be passed on in the future. What is a model youth? It is to have a permanent struggle. This is the most important one. Without this one, everything is empty. To what extent are you struggling? We say: To fight forever means to fight to death. This permanent struggle is very important. If you want to talk about morality, you should talk about this morality. Model young people should set an example in this article. Of course, there must be a correct political direction, but this correct political direction alone is not enough. Once you have a correct political direction, you must be firm, that is, you must have a "firm and correct political direction." This direction is unshakable. It is necessary to have the backbone of "the rich and the noble cannot be licentious, the poor cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be yielded" to stick to this direction. Such youths are truly exemplary youths. Such morality can be regarded as true political morality. The model youths here today must fight against the anti-communists, oppose compromise and surrender, and oppose anti-communism. Model young people, you must bear this in mind-"Perpetual struggle."

Zhu De made the conclusion of the report on military issues at the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Regarding Mao Zedong's military thought, he pointed out: Mao Zedong's military thought has gone through two stages of civil war and anti-Japanese war. This thought is completed and mature. Mao Zedong's military thought is the sinicization of Marxism. The Chinese people need armed struggle. There are many peasants in China, and armed forces are peasant armed forces. It can also be said that most of the thoughts about the agrarian revolution were produced by Mao Zedong's thoughts.

Xinhua News Agency published Mao Zedong’s comments on the current situation. The commentary pointed out: The Chiang Kai-shek government, which is the enemy of the whole people, has now found itself surrounded by the whole people. Whether on the military front or on the political front, the Chiang Kai-shek government has been defeated, has been surrounded by the forces it has declared to be an enemy, and cannot think of a way to escape. There are already two fronts in China. Chiang Kai-shek invaded the war between the army and the People's Liberation Army. This was the first front. Now there is a second front, which is the sharp struggle between the great just student movement and the reactionary Chiang Kai-shek government. The slogan of the student movement is to ask for food, for peace, for freedom, that is, anti-hunger, anti-civil war, and anti-persecution. The student movement is part of the entire people's movement. The upsurge of the student movement will inevitably promote the upsurge of the entire people's movement. The past historical experience during the May Fourth Movement and the December 9th Movement has shown this point. Military suppression and political deception are the two main tools used by Chiang Kai-shek to maintain his reactionary rule. People have now seen the rapid bankruptcy of these tools. Chiang Kai-shek's army was defeated no matter where it was on the battlefield. In the 11 months from July last year to the present, about 90 brigades have been annihilated in terms of its regular army alone. News of the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's army on the front lines spread to the rear, and the broad masses of the people, who were oppressed by Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary government, felt that they had hoped to turn around. At this time, all the political deceptions of Chiang Kai-shek quickly went bankrupt due to Chiang Kai-shek's rapid performance. All events have proved our estimate is correct. We have repeatedly pointed out to people that the Chiang Kai-shek government is nothing but a government that sells a civil war dictatorship. This government wants to use the means of civil war to flatten the CCP and all democratic forces in order to achieve the goal of turning China into an American colony and maintaining its own dictatorship. Because this government has adopted these reactionary policies, it has become politically without prestige and powerless. The strength of the Chiang Kai-shek government is only temporary and superficial. In fact, it is a government that is strong in the outside world. Its offense can be defeated, no matter where it is and on what front. Its future is bound to be rebellious and the whole army is destroyed. All events have been proven and will continue to prove the correctness of these estimates. The development of events in China is faster than people expected. On the one hand, it is the victory of the People's Liberation Army, on the other hand, the advancement of the people's struggle in Chiang Kai-shek's district. The speed is fast. In order to build a peaceful, democratic, and independent new China, the Chinese people should quickly prepare all necessary conditions. This commentary is titled "The Chiang Kai-shek Government has been surrounded by the whole people" and is included in the fourth volume of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong".

It also embodies the yearning of the people of all ethnic groups for a better life. They must be cultivated and promoted among the people of the whole country. Particular attention should be paid to starting from children.

He pointed out that families, schools, Young Pioneers organizations, and the entire society are responsible for nurturing core socialist values ​​among children. Parents should set an example to their children at all times and everywhere, and educate and guide their children with correct actions, correct thoughts, and correct methods. Pay attention to observing children's thought dynamics and behavior changes, and be good at teaching children to appreciate truth, goodness and beauty, and stay away from fake and ugly. Schools should put moral education in a more important position, comprehensively strengthen the school spirit and the construction of teacher ethics, according to the characteristics of children and children, and make every effort to not only spread knowledge, but also teach virtues, and every activity not only healthy body and mind, but also cultivates temperament. The Young Pioneers must persist in organizing education, independent education, and practical activities to unite, educate, and lead the vast number of children. The whole society must understand, respect, care, serve, and provide a good social environment for children and children. We must resolutely prevent and crack down in accordance with the law against words and deeds that damage the rights and interests of children and the physical and mental health of children.
