毛泽东选集/一九四六年解放区工作的方针

#§In the past few months our Party has gained great successes in leading the people in fierce struggles to clean up the Japanese and puppet forces and smash the attacks of the Kuomintang on the Liberated Areas.

# §The year 1945 will soon be over, and in 1946 we must pay attention to the following points in the work in all the Liberated Areas:

#§Since our army smashed the large-scale attacks on our Liberated Areas in Suiyuan, Shansi and southern Hopei, the Kuomintang has been moving up larger forces and making preparations for new attacks.

#§If no new development makes the Kuomintang stop its civil war quickly, the fighting in the spring of 1946 will be intense.

#§ Therefore, the central task of all the Liberated Areas is still to take a stand of self-defence and do their utmost to smash the Kuomintang attacks.

#§2. # §Spread the Kao Shu-hsun movement.

#§ In order to smash the Kuomintang attacks our Party must work to disintegrate the Kuomintang troops which are preparing to attack or are already attacking.

#§On the one hand, our army must carry on extensive, open political propaganda and political offensives to undermine the will to fight of the Kuomintang troops engaged in the civil war.

# § On the other hand, we must prepare and organize uprisings within the Kuomintang army and spread the Kao Shu-hsun movement so that, at crucial moments in the fighting, large numbers of Kuomintang troops will follow Kao Shu-hsun's example and come over to the people, oppose the civil war and take a stand for peace.

# § In order to do this work in a practical way and produce speedy results, every area must, in compliance with the Central Committee directive, set up a special department and assign a large number of cadres to devote themselves to it whole-heartedly and exclusively.

# § The leading bodies of each area must give this work close direction.

#§3. #§Train the troops.

#§ The field armies of the Liberated Areas have already been formed in the main, and the regional troops are also quite numerous.

#§ Hence, for the time being, we should generally stop expanding the number of troops and should make use of the intervals between battles to stress the training of troops.

#§ As for the training courses, the main objective should still be to raise the level of technique in marksmanship, bayoneting, grenade-throwing and the like and the secondary objective should be to raise the level of tactics, while special emphasis should be laid on night operations.

#§ As for the method of training, we should unfold the mass training movement in which officers teach soldiers, soldiers teach officers and the soldiers teach each other.

#§ During 1946 we must further improve the political work in the army, overcome any dogmatic and formalist working styles existing in the army and strive to unite officers and soldiers, unite the army and the people, unite with friendly troops, disintegrate the enemy troops and ensure that the tasks of training, supply and fighting are accomplished.

# §The local people's militia should be reorganized in accordance with present conditions.

# §The army's rear services should be readjusted.

# §Everything possible should be done to organize and expand the artillery and engineer units in all areas.

# §The military academies should continue their work, with stress on the training of technical personnel.

# §In accordance with the November 7, 1945 directive of the Central Committee, all areas must launch movements in 1946 for the reduction of rent and interest in newly liberated areas, movements on a large scale, of a mass character, but with leadership.

# §As for the workers, their wages should be appropriately raised.

#§ Through these movements the broad masses should be able to emancipate themselves, organize, and become the conscious masters of the Liberated Areas.
