燕巢危幕——蔡迈轮日记中的陕县岁月(1947—1948)

The Perilous Nest:The Years in Shan County as Documented in Cai Mailun’s Diary(1947-1948)

1947年,中共反攻揭开序幕,蔡迈轮随大军加入豫西反攻,并率领一支小队伍回到家乡陕县,发动群众,开展游击战争。面对继续维持统治的国民党政权以及强大的地方武装,蔡迈轮的队伍在陕县三进两出,处境困难。加之急性土改造成的脱离群众问题,进一步加剧了游击斗争的艰险。在此逆境之下,蔡迈轮等人顽强坚持,适时转移,保存有生力量。这样的做法得到了上级机关的谅解。最终,随着整体形势的变化,迎来了陕县坚持的曙光。

In 1947,as the CPC commenced its counter-offensive,Cai Mailun joined Western Henan’s counter-offensive campaign and led a small contingent back to his hometown,in Shan County,to mobilize the populace and initiate guerrilla warfare.Confronting the Kuomintang government forces that remained in power and the formidable local armed forces,Cai’s team faced a difficult situation—with three advances and two retreats.The situation was further exacerbated by acute estrangement from the masses,a consequence of precipitous land reform,thus intensifying the hardships of guerrilla warfare.Amidst these adversities,Cai and his comrades demonstrated resilience and they strategically shifted tactics to preserve their effective strength.This course of action was understood and accepted by their superior authorities.Ultimately,following the shift in the overall strategic situation,the dawn of perseverance in Shan County finally arrived.
