Carrying Forward the Revolutionary Tradition and Continuing the Red Blood Vessel -- Deeply Understanding and Grasping the Historical Significance of the Adaptation of Sanwan

General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to carry out party history study and education, and pointed out in the report of the 20th CPC National Congress that it is necessary to "guide the people to know history, love the party, know history and love the country, and constantly strengthen the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics". The reorganization of Sanwan 95 years ago was an important historical event in the history of the party, the military, and the Chinese revolution. It was a milestone in establishing a series of fundamental principles and systems for the party's absolute leadership over the people's army, and had a profound impact on the process of the Chinese revolution. influences. In the new era, we must deeply understand and grasp the historical significance of the adaptation of Sanwan, carry forward the revolutionary tradition, continue the red blood, and move forward vigorously and courageously on the journey of strengthening the army.

In September 1927, Comrade Mao Zedong led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops to Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, led the famous Sanwan reorganization, and creatively put forward brand-new military governance strategies such as "the branch is built on the company" and "the officers and soldiers are equal. Through the reorganization of Sanwan, the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops realized the political sublimation of the nature of the army, radiated strong cohesion, centripetal force, creativity and combat effectiveness, and opened up a glorious road for the people's army to move from victory to victory.

The Sanwan reorganization laid the organizational foundation for the party's absolute leadership over the army. The party's command of the gun is the fundamental guarantee for maintaining the nature and purpose of the people's army. This is an unbreakable truth drawn by our party in the struggle between blood and fire. With the Communist Party of China and the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people's army will have direction and strength to advance. Sanwan reorganization created a new system of establishing party groups in shifts and platoons, party branches in companies, and party committees in battalions and regiments, effectively solving the problem that party members and party organizations were mainly concentrated at the top of the army in the early days of the founding of the army, and it was difficult for the party's leadership to run through and extend. Politically and organizationally, the party's absolute leadership over the army was guaranteed.

The adaptation of Sanwan demonstrates the power of belief in the revolutionary ideal above the sky. lofty ideals and convictions are the spiritual strength of the people's army to march forward courageously and are the burning torch in the hearts of the officers and men of the whole army. Over the past 95 years, the key to the people's army's ability to overcome difficulties, invincible, and develop and grow is that it is armed with Marxist theory, has lofty ideals and beliefs, and has the lofty pursuit of heroic dedication to ideals and beliefs. In the difficult environment of revolutionary struggle, faith is the fundamental driving force for revolutionaries to fight bravely and win victory. The Communist Party of China is a proletarian party with Marxist beliefs. It is precisely because of the establishment of party organizations and party representative systems at all levels in the army through the reorganization of Sanwan. Under the absolute leadership of the party, the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops have a new mental outlook and have grown into a revolutionary team with firm revolutionary ideals and strong belief.

The adaptation of Sanwan has formed a fine tradition of reform and innovation. Reform and innovation and keeping pace with the times are the broad road for the continuous development of the people's army. The strength of the people's army comes from reform and innovation, and the victory of the people's army comes from reform and innovation. The reorganization of Sanwan is an important event in the process of the construction and development of the people's army, which has formed the fine tradition of the people's army to be brave in reform and innovation. When they arrived in Sanwan, there were less than 1,000 troops left in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, but it was still the establishment before the uprising. There was a phenomenon of more officials and fewer soldiers, which was not conducive to combat. After the reorganization, the army was reduced from a division to a regiment, which is the "First Regiment of the First Division of the First Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army". The number of people has decreased and the organizational structure has been reduced, but the political leadership of the army has become stronger, the military command has become more efficient, and the will to fight has become stronger, making preparations for the spark of the subsequent revolution to form a prairie fire.

The adaptation of Sanwan has refined the fighting spirit of daring to fight and winning. Looking back at history, generations of revolutionary soldiers have formed the great spirit of overwhelming all enemies and never being subjugated by the enemy by relying on their heroic determination to live to death. When the Sanwan Reorganization took place, it was during the revolutionary trough of the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising. The number of revolutionary armed forces dropped sharply and the struggle environment was harsh. Under such conditions, the people's army under the leadership of the party fought bravely and persisted in the struggle, and tempered the fighting spirit of perseverance, bravery and tenacity, daring to sacrifice, and daring to win. Comrade Mao Zedong said: "The reactionaries are not terrible. As long as everyone is united and continues to fight bravely, they can eventually use small stones to smash Chiang Kai-shek's big water tank. Victory must belong to us." It is this firm belief in victory and high-spirited fighting spirit that drives the people's army from victory to new victory.

The adaptation of Sanwan has opened up the institutional practice of strict discipline. Strengthen discipline, revolution invincible. The strength of an army depends not only on its number, not only on its weapons and equipment, but also on its discipline. An army without discipline can only be a mob. The adaptation of Sanwan gave birth to the earliest "three major disciplines": follow the command in action, do not take a sweet potato from the masses, and fight local tyrants to return to the public. At the most difficult juncture of the uprising troops, discipline was used to rectify the outline of discipline, discipline was used to eliminate military prestige, and discipline was used to ensure victory. This laid the foundation for the unified discipline of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, formed the fine tradition of strict discipline in the People's Army, and became the party and army. Heirloom of construction. Over the past 95 years, the People's Army has always used iron discipline to condense iron will, temper iron style, and forge iron teams in various historical periods, fully demonstrating the powerful power of revolutionary discipline.

The adaptation of Sanwan reflects the mission of the people's army for the people. Practice has repeatedly proved that with the will of the people, the will of the people, and the strength of the people, the people's army can be invincible. The Sanwan reorganization established the party's absolute leadership over the army, determined the high degree of consistency between the nature and purpose of the people's army and the nature and purpose of the party, and serving the people has become the unswerving fundamental purpose of our army. On the new journey, the People's Army must continue to practice its fundamental purpose, always be connected with the people by blood, and be a soldier trusted, supported, and loved by the people at all times and under all circumstances, and live up to the expectations and trust of the party and the people.
