皖南事变若干文电日期考订

Textual Research on the Dates of Several Telegrams of the Southern Anhui Incident

皖南事变自爆发以来,长期受学界关注,但相关著述因缺乏对档案文献的考辨,造成论述的诸多错讹。通过对七份文电日期的考证,表明就皖南新四军转移问题而言,在事变前的较长时间里,项英与中共中央的分歧更多体现在转移路线与时机上。项英更倾向于“东移苏南”,而中共中央倾向于“北移皖东”,但双方亦因外部情势影响而作出调适,并不存在根本对立。因对时局判断的乐观,项英等人在1940年10月中旬转而倾向固守皖南,对中央指示贯彻不力,但当11月初延安决定放弃皖南、坚持北移后,项英等人亦随之作出调整。

Since the outbreak of the Southern Anhui Incident,it has attracted the attention of academic circles for a long time;however,the lack of examination and identification of archival documents in some writings has caused many errors in the discourse.Based on the textual research on the dates of the seven telegrams,it is showed that as far as the transfer of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui is concerned,for a relatively long period of time before the Incident,the differences between Xiang Ying and the Central Committee of the CPC were more reflected in the route and timing of the transfer.Xiang Ying was more inclined to the“eastward-moving to the south of Jiangsu”,while the Central Committee of the CPC was inclined to the“northward-moving to the east of Anhui”.However,both sides had made adjustments due to the influence of the external situations without fundamental antagonism.With the optimism about the current situation,Xiang Ying et al.turned to stick to southern Anhui in mid-October 1940 and failed to thoroughly implement the instructions of the central government.However,when Yan'an decided to abandon southern Anhui and insist on moving northward in early November,Xiang Ying et al.also made adjustments accordingly.
