An Investigation of the Mass Mobilization Work in the Resistance Base in Northern Jiangsu during the Stalemate Stage
The resistance base in northern Jiangsu was the strategic focus for New Fourth Army to achieve its develop-ment in the areas north of the Yangtze River during the stalemate stage,and it was also the practice ground for the Commu-nist Party of China to carry out mass mobilization work under the threat of the enemy's stubborn forces.The resistance base in northern Jiangsu was located in the hinterland ruled by the Kuomintang where the mass foundation was extremely weak.In order to change this situation,the CPC has launched in the base an all-round mass mobilization work including conduc-ting mobilization through the establishment of organizations of democratic authorities and subordinate mass organizations,carrying out actively the campaign to reduce rents and interest rates and large-scale production to meet the demands of the people's interests,adhering to the mass line and conducting investigation and study to unite the masses,and vigorously strengthening political education and political propaganda among the masses to guide them.Under the leadership of the CPC,the mass mobilization work in the resistance base in northern Jiangsu was extremely successful,which greatly mobi-lized the enthusiasm of the masses to participate in the war,and turned the base into an important strategic base for the sur-vival and development of New Fourth Army behind enemy lines north of the Yangtze River.
