The Anti-Japanese War was a national revolutionary war led by the Communist Party of China. Its main targets were Japanese imperialists, traitors and traitors.The Communist Party of China adopted the policy of the anti-Japanese national united front in the war of resistance against Japan and united all possible forces to fight it together.In the meantime, headed by MAO zedong the communist party of China, summarizes historical experience, to recognize the rule of Chinese democratic revolution, MAO zedong thought has reached maturity, and on this basis, achieved the unprecedented unity of the party, strengthen the power of the revolution, defeated the Japanese invaders, for democratic revolution victory in whole country, laid a solid foundation.

In July 1937, the Japanese imperialists launched the Lugouqiao Incident. On August 13, the Japanese troops launched a massive attack on Shanghai, and the 19th Route Army stationed in Shanghai rose up to resist. The Nationalist Government was forced to issue a declaration of self-defense on August 14.From then on, a nationwide war of resistance against Japan began.Soon after the war began, two battlefields were formed in China, the Kuomintang battlefields in the front and the liberated areas behind the enemy lines.On the two battlefields, two very different situations emerged.

From July 1937 to December 1940, the Communist Party of China formulated a strategic policy of protracted war of resistance against Japan and guerrilla warfare behind the enemy lines, persisting in unity in the war of resistance, opposing secession and surrender, combining unity with struggle against the Chiang Kai-shek clique, and actively carrying out guerrilla warfare behind the enemy lines. The people's revolutionary forces grew rapidly.One result after another was achieved in the War of Resistance Against Japan.And fronts of the kuomintang army, although at the beginning of the war of resistance of the taierhchuang campaign victory, however, because behind Chiang kai-shek insist on line of the war of resistance against Japan, the kuomintang (KMT), more than one hundred troops to resist the hundreds of thousands of Japanese army offensive and retreat, nanjing government had to move to chongqing, and there was surrendered to the Japanese aggressors.

Instead, the Chinese Communists opened up the battlefield behind enemy lines, and the revolutionary forces grew rapidly.In the face of the Kuomintang internal defectors, in August 1940 - December, under the command of Peng Dehuai, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army mobilized all the troops in the country, launched a "hundred regiments war" to the Japanese aggressions, a total of 1,824 battles of the size, killed more than 25,800 Japanese puppet army.The Battle of Hundred Regiments dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, which further strengthened the confidence of the whole nation in the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and raised the prestige of the Party's army.Of course, it also caused great losses to the main force of our army, exposing our forces too early, which later caused the main force of the Japanese army to attack the Red Army base areas and carry out large-scale "mopping up".Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has also carried out the fake anti-Japanese and true anti-communist strategy.And in January 1941 launched the southern Anhui incident, will go to the anti-japanese front of the New Fourth Army attacks, the New Fourth Army military headquarters of more than two thousand people were killed, commander Ye Ting was detained without reason, deputy commander Xiang Ying was killed, and the statement will be commander Ye Ting submitted to a military court trial.This was the "South Anhui Incident" which shocked the world.After the South Anhui Incident, our Party engaged in tit-for-tat struggle.

From 1941 to 1942, as the Japanese concentrated the main force on the liberated areas behind the enemy lines for a continuous "mop-up", a large number of Kuomintang generals led the Japanese troops, Chiang Kai-shek also mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Shaanxi, Gansu, Ning and the liberated areas behind the enemy lines.In addition to the natural disasters in North China, the people behind the enemy lines fell into serious difficulties in the war of resistance, and both the population of the Liberated Areas and the number of the Eighth Route Army decreased significantly.In order to overcome the difficulties, the Party adjusted various policies in time and launched the rectification movement and the mass production movement in the liberated areas.Wang Zhen of the 359th Brigade of the 125th Division persisted in the hard guerrilla warfare and defended the position of the Anti-Japanese War.From 1943 to August 1945, with the development of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression gradually turned to counter-offensive, the revolutionary forces of the people developed rapidly, and the Chinese people won the final victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.The Japanese imperialists had to surrender unconditionally on August 15, 1945 after the two atomic bombings by the United States and the strong attack by the Soviet Red Army.So far, the war of resistance against Japan has achieved a comprehensive victory.

The Third Revolutionary Civil War (45.8 -- 49.10) The Third Revolutionary Civil War was the period in which China's democratic revolution won the final national victory and Mao Zedong Thought achieved further all-round development.The history of the Communist Party of China during this period can be divided into four stages:

To strive for domestic peace and democracy.Since Japan's surrender in August, 1945, Chiang Kai-shek, with the support of American imperialism, scrambled for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and actively prepared for the civil war.The Communist Party of China, in accordance with the policy of the "Seven Seventh Congress" and the changes in the international and domestic situation after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, used the two-pronged revolutionary strategy to carry out the complex struggle of intersecting peace negotiations with armed struggle.In order to deceive the people and gain time to prepare for the civil war, Chiang Kai-shek invited Mao Zedong to Chongqing for negotiations three times in August, 1945.In order to make every effort to strive for peace, to expose the true face of the United States and Chiang, to unite and educate the people, to isolate Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang, and to strengthen the advantageous position of our party, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided that Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Wang Ruofei would go to Chongqing to negotiate with the Kuomintang on behalf of our party.On the one hand, we will do everything possible to strive for peace and realize the reform of Chinese society under peaceful conditions.On the other hand, the army and the people in the liberated areas strengthened their preparations for the war of self-defense and crushed Chiang Kai-shek's two-sided plots.On January 10, the two sides signed the armistice agreement, and on the day of the signing of the agreement, a political consultative conference was held in Chongqing, which was attended by thirty-eight representatives of political parties and social dignitaries.However, Chiang Kai-shek's armistice agreement was a ploy to delay the war. He was not sincere about it. By the time of the Second Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee in March and the National Political Consultative Conference in April, he had openly torn up the resolution of the CPPCC and the armistice agreement, and mobilized troops to attack Northeast China on a large scale, actively preparing for civil war.

The defensive stage of the People's Liberation War.At this stage, our Party united all those who could be united politically and established a greater united front of the people's democratic revolution.In some cities and local military voluntarily evacuated, concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy one by one, give priority to with mobile warfare, crushed the kuomintang reactionaries comprehensive attack, with a heavy blow to the enemy, makes the contrast of enemy forces is good for my major changes have taken place, for our army into the strategic offensive created the extremely advantageous condition.In the first year of the war of liberation, a marked change took place in the forces of both the enemy and ourselves as a result of the annihilation of a large number of the enemy's effective forces.The Kuomintang army decreased from 4.3 million to 3.7 million, while our army grew from 1.25 million to 1.95 million.The enemy forces are weakened, morale is low, the people are opposed, the rear is empty, and the mobile forces are sharply reduced;The morale of our army is rising, the people support it, the rear area is consolidated, and our ability to maneuver is greatly enhanced.In light of the changes in the war situation, the Party Central Committee determined the basic tasks of our army in the second year's war as follows: to shift from strategic defense to national strategic offensive and to lead the war to areas under the control of the Kuomintang.

(3) The third stage was from June 1947 to August 1948, when the People's Liberation War turned into the strategic offensive stage.

During this period, the agrarian revolution and the movement of Party and army consolidation were widely and deeply carried out in the liberated areas.The people's democratic united front was further consolidated and expanded throughout the country, and the correct policy was formulated for the victory of the whole country, thus bringing the Chinese revolution to a new historical turning point.

The great victory of the decisive strategic battle and the founding of the People's Republic of China.On September 8, 1948, the Central Committee of the Party held an important meeting in Xibaipo.The Conference fully affirmed the achievements and experience achieved in the first two years of the War of Liberation and set out the tasks for the coming period.Due to the change of the forces of both sides, the time was ripe for our army to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the enemy, so the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission made the decision on the strategic decisive battle in time.

On September 16, 1948, East China field army first launched the Ji 'nan Campaign. It captured Ji 'nan and killed 110,000 defenders, which opened the prelude to the strategic decisive battle.On September 7, the Central Military Commission issued the operational guidelines for the Liaoshen Campaign, which lasted 52 days from September 12 to November 2, killing 470,000 enemies, forcing the defenders in Changchun to surrender, and liberating the whole Northeast China.Following the Liaoshen Campaign, the field armies of East China and Central China won the Huaihai Campaign on November 6 and January 10 of the following year (lasting 65 days), killing a total of 550,000 enemies and liberating the vast areas north of the Yangtze River.On December 5, 1948, the army won the Battle of Pingjin on January 31 of the following year, killing 520,000 enemies, and Peiping was peacefully liberated.At this point, the victory of the Chinese people's revolutionary war in the country has become a foregone conclusion.

After the victory of the three major battles, the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang was facing a desperate situation. On the New Year of 49, Chiang Kai-shek issued a statement seeking peace, in the hope that he would once again flirt with peace schemes in order to gain breathing time and preserve the reactionary forces for a comeback.Mao Zedong in 1949 New Year's day also published the "revolution to the end" of the New Year's message, "should be left to pursue the poor brave, not the merit of outstanding student Wang".On January 21, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to announce his "retirement" and Li Tsong-jen, acting President, declared that he was willing to accept our Party's eight-point offer for peace. After 15 days of negotiations, our Party delegation submitted the "domestic peace agreement" to the delegation of the Nanjing government.On April 22, the Nanjing government refused to sign, and the talks broke down.On March 5, 1949, the Third Plenary Session of the Seventh CPC Central Committee was held in Xibaipo, approving the proposal of convening a new CPPCC session and establishing a democratic coalition government.And pointed out that the focus of the Party's work has been transferred from the countryside to the city.On April 20, 1949, Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued the order to march to the whole country. One million men of our second and third field armies crossed the natural barrier of the Yangtze River from Hukou to Jiangyin on the thousandli front, liberating all the mainland of China except Tibet.From September 21 to 30, the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in Peiping. The Conference adopted the Common Program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which served as the interim constitution.The Central People's Government Commission was elected. Mao Zedong was elected chairman and Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Soong Ching Ling, Li Jishen, Zhang Lan and Gao Gang were elected vice-chairmen.On October 1, the capital of Beijing three hundred thousand military and civilian assembly in Tian 'anmen Square, held a grand founding ceremony, Mao Zedong declared the establishment of the great People's Republic of China, the Chinese people have stood up.
