We must not forget the heroic martyr Zhou Zikun of Guilin

Xingan Rokifu original

On that day, taking advantage of the opportunity to send his son to Shanghai to enroll as a new student, he took two bottles of Guilin Sanhua wine and a bottle of Guilin Lijiang river water in a bottle of mineral water, and made a special detour to the Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, to pay homage to Zhou Zikun, a Guilin native who was awarded the honorary title of anti-Japanese hero by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China in September 2014.

On October 18, 2016, Guangxi commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March in Xing'an. The night before the event, a woman who claimed to be Zhou Zikun's daughter-in-law called me and asked me: Your commemoration of the victory of the Red Army's Long March invited the descendants of Li Tianyou, commander of the Red 5th Division, who had participated in the Xiangjiang Campaign, to participate, while the descendants of Zhou Zikun, another commander of the Red 22nd Division who also participated in the Xiangjiang Campaign, were not invited? Are they all guilin people too? ......

Although I have been working in the county Party History Office for 3 years, it has been a whole year since I was transferred from the Party History Office. I asked Zhou Zikun why her "daughter-in-law" called me, and she said that the second generation of red who came to the commemoration event told her. I replied to her that I didn't know how to invite her, and I helped her ask our county leaders. I called and asked a county leader, and the answer was: This is an activity organized by the autonomous region, and who to invite to participate is decided by the superiors, and the county is just doing some service guarantee work. After I asked clearly, I made a few phone calls to feedback to her, and she didn't answer. Later, because there were too many calls in those days, I didn't know which phone was hers, so I never contacted her again.

Since I worked in the county party history office, I have become interested in the history of the Red Army's Long March through Guibei, and I have collected excerpts from articles by nearly 100 Red Army soldiers recalling the Red Army's Long March through Guibei, and there is no article by Zhou Zikun, so although I know that Zhou Zikun was the commander of the 22nd Division during the Xiangjiang Campaign, I really don't know whether Zhou Zikun was a Guilin native. Therefore, today I specially came to the Nanjing Yuhuatai Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage to our heroes in Guilin.

Since receiving the call from Zhou Zikun's "daughter-in-law", I have begun to collect relevant information about Zhou Zikun, and the excerpts are as follows for your reference and understanding of our heroic martyrs.

Zhou Zikun was a senior commander of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the New Fourth Army. Born in 1901, born in Guilin, Guangxi. In his early years, he participated in the May Fourth Movement. Later, he joined the Gui Army as a soldier in Liu Zhenhuan's department. In June 1925, he joined the revolution and joined Sun Yat-sen's IronClad Team of the Grand Marshal's Office of the Founding Army and Navy, serving as a squad leader, and joined the Communist Party of China in October of the same year. In November, he was incorporated into the Ye Ting Independent Regiment and served as a platoon leader. In 1926, he accompanied the Northern Expedition and participated in the battles of Tingsi Bridge, Hesheng Bridge and the capture of Wuchang, and was promoted to company commander, battalion commander, and commander of the officer teaching brigade.

In August 1927, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising. After the defeat of the rebel army in the south to Guangdong, he followed Zhu De, Chen Yi and others to the border between Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong and Xiangzhou. In early 1928, he participated in the Shonan Uprising and went to Jinggangshan in April. Later, he successively served as the deputy captain of the Red Fourth Army Teaching Team, the commander of the 2nd Detachment of the Red Sixth Army, the chief of staff and commander of the Red Third Army, the chief of staff of the Red 5th Army, the chief of staff of the Jiangxi Military Region, the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Military Region, and the commander of the Independent 22nd Division. He participated in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns in the Central Soviet Region and in important battles such as Ganzhou and Nanxiong Shuikou. During his time in the Central Soviet Region, his work changed frequently, up and down a few times, but he obeyed the party arrangements.

In mid-October 1934, the Red Army began the Long March, and the 22nd Division was incorporated into the Red Ninth Army, serving as the left wing cover of the column of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China. The Red Army entered the first blockade line of the Kuomintang army on the border between Guangdong and Gansu, but was intercepted by the enemy. Zhou Zikun was ordered to lead the Sixty-fourth Regiment to meet the battle, and repeatedly repelled the enemy's charge, making it difficult for the enemy to cross the thunder pool one step. Regiment Commander Luo Binghui and Political Commissar Cai Shufan praised: "The Twenty-second Division has accomplished its tasks very well, especially the Sixty-fourth Regiment fought bravely and resolutely, ensuring the safety of the columns of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. ”

At the end of November 1934, the Red Army arrived in northern Guizhou, and Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 26 divisions to pursue and intercept them, in a vain attempt to annihilate the Red Army in the area east of the Xiang River. In order to break through the last blockade line of the enemy, the Red Army fought a bloody battle with the enemy. After the Red Ninth Army covered the crossing of the Xiang River by the central column, the enemy's five-way pursuit and suppression army swarmed, and the Twenty-second Division rushed left and right, suffering heavy casualties. After Zhou Zikun was injured, he led the rest of the army to break through the siege and catch up with the main force. Li De reprimanded Zhou Zikun for "escaping from the battlefield" and ordered the guard squad to tie him up and send him to a military court for disposal. When Mao Zedong learned of this, he intervened: "Leave Zhou Zikun to me to deal with." He saved Zhou Zikun. Mao Zedong's "treatment" was to send Zhou Zikun to the affiliated hospital and tell him to calm down and heal his wounds.

Shortly after the Zunyi Conference, Zhou Zikun made a comeback and served as deputy chief of staff of the Fifth Red Army. In the battles of Erzhan Zunyi, Sidu Chishui, and Rush to cross the Jinsha River, he actively assisted the head of the corps in commanding the troops to complete combat tasks.

In June 1935, after the Red Army met in the Maogong area of Sichuan and the Red Fourth Front, the troops were reorganized, and Zhou Zikun successively served as the chief of the senior command section of the Red Army University and the director of the First Bureau (Operations Bureau) of the General Headquarters of the Red Army, and operated with the Left Route Army, which was mainly the Red Fourth Front. Due to Zhang Guotao's erroneous claims, Zhou Zikun crossed the meadow three times with the Red Fourth Front.

In early 1937, he entered the university of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Red Army and served as a captain. In December of the same year, he was appointed deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army. Assist Ye Ting and Xiang Ying in forming the New Fourth Army, and participate in organizing troops to advance behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu, central Anhui, and eastern Anhui, establish anti-Japanese base areas, and carry out guerrilla warfare. In August 1938, he was also appointed as the commander of the New Fourth Army Instruction Corps. He administered the army strictly, attached importance to the construction of the headquarters and the education and training of the troops, personally compiled teaching materials and lectures, and made contributions to improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. After the Anhui Incident in early 1941, he was killed by traitors in Maolin Bee Cave in Jing County on March 13.

In June 1955, the remains were moved to nanjing Yuhuatai Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery.
