1930年日本外务省对中共革命根据地的“实地调查”新探

Gaimusho's Field Investigation in the CPC Soviet Areas in 1930

1930年“长沙事件”后,日本外务省曾在华中、华东、华南地区进行过一次针对中共革命根据地的绝密调查。经过两个余月的实地调查,调查人员提交了包括一份长达437页的《调查报告》在内的一系列材料,内容之详实为当时所仅见。这些材料也被认为是透视中共早期革命实践的珍贵史料。然而,记录着此行来龙去脉的日藏档案却指出,基于决策者的特殊安排,调查人员并未亲身踏足苏区,同时他们对中共形象的描述亦大多依赖日本和苏联的情报。种种证据表明,这次行动并非真正意义上的实地调查。

As the Changsha Incident broke out in 1930,the Gaimusho(Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs)held a secret investigation which targeted the soviet areas built by the CPC in Middle,East and South China.After a two-month field investigation,the investigators submitted abundant documents including a 437-page long report.The richness and thoroughness of its content were hardly seen.Up till now,the investigation was highly evaluated by the academic circle and the materials from it were considered precious records of early Communist practices.However,primitive files preserved in Japanese libraries have revealed details in contradiction to such opinions.In fact,the investigators never traveled to the soviet areas,let alone conduct field investigations.The final report depended on the Japanese and Soviet intelligence.As a result,the field investigation was more apparent than real.
