那時(指一九二四——一九二七年第一次國內革命戰爭時期——編者)軍隊設立了黨代表和政治部,這種制度是中國歷史上沒有的,靠了這種制度使軍隊一新其面目。一九二七年以後的紅軍以至今日的八路軍,是繼承了這種制度而加以發展的。

八路軍的政治工作的基本原則有三個,即:第一、官兵一致的原則,這就是在軍隊中肅清封建主義,廢除打罵制度,建立自覺紀律,實行同甘共苦的生活,因此全軍是團結一致的。第二、軍民一致的原則,這就是秋毫無犯的民衆紀律,宣傳、組織和武裝民衆,減輕民衆的經濟負擔,打擊危害軍民的漢奸賣國賊,因此軍民團結一致,到處得到人民的歡迎。第三、瓦解敵軍和寬待俘虜的原則。我們的勝利不但是依靠我軍的作戰,而且依靠敵軍的瓦解。

The political work of the Eighth Route Army is guided by three basic principles. First, the principle of unity between officers and men, which means eradicating feudal practices in the army, prohibiting beating and abuse, building up a conscious discipline, and sharing weal and woe - as a result of which the entire army is closely united. Second, the principle of unity between the army and the people, which means maintaining a discipline that forbids the slightest violation of the people's interests, conducting propaganda among the masses, organizing and arming them, lightening their economic burdens and suppressing the traitors and collaborators who do harm to the army and the people - as a result of which the army is closely united with the people and welcomed everywhere. Third, the principle of disintegrating the enemy troops and giving lenient treatment to prisoners of war. Our victory depends not only upon our military operations but also upon the disintegration of the enemy troops."Interview with the British Journalist James Bertram" (October 25, 1937), Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 53.*

我們的軍隊必須在軍民關係上、軍政關係上、軍黨關係上、官兵關係上、軍事工作和政治工作關係上、幹部相互關係上,遵守正確的原則,決不可犯軍閥主義的毛病。官長必須愛護士兵,不能漠不關心,不能採取肉刑;軍隊必須愛護人民,不能損害人民利益;軍隊必須尊重政府,尊重黨,不能鬧獨立性。

Our troops must observe the correct principles that govern relations between the army and the people, between the army and the government, between the army and the Party, between officers and men, and between military work and political work, and relations among the cadres, and must never commit the errors of warlordism. Officers must cherish their men and must not be indifferent to their well-being or resort to corporal punishment; the army must cherish the people and never encroach upon their interests; the army must respect the government and the Party and never "assert independence"."Get Organized!"

對敵軍、僞軍、反共軍的俘虜,除為群衆所痛惡、非殺不可而又經過上級批准的人以外,應一律採取釋放的政策。其中被迫參加、多少帶有革命性的分子,應大批地爭取為我軍服務,其他則一律釋放;如其再來,則再捉再放;不加侮辱,不搜財物,不要自首,一律以誠懇和氣的態度對待之。不論他們如何反動,均取這種政策。這對於孤立反動營壘,是非常有效的。《論政策》(一九四零年十二月二十五日),《毛澤東選集》第二卷第七六四——七六五頁武器是戰爭的重要的因素,但不是決定的因素,決定的因素是人不是物。力量對比不但是軍力和經濟力的對比,而且是人力和人心的對比。軍力和經濟力是要人去掌握的。

原子彈是美國反動派用來嚇人的一隻紙老虎,看樣子可怕,實際上並不可怕。當然,原子彈是一種大規模屠殺的武器,但是決定戰爭勝敗的是人民,而不是一兩件新式武器。

The atom bomb is a paper tiger which the U.S. reactionaries use to scare people. It looks terrible, but in fact it isn't.

軍隊的基礎在士兵,沒有進步的政治精神貫注於軍隊之中,沒有進步的政治工作去執行這種貫注,就不能達到真正的官長和士兵的一致,就不能激發官兵最大限度的抗戰熱忱,一切技術和戰術就不能得著最好的基礎去發揮它們應有的效力。

Soldiers are the foundation of an army; unless they are imbued with a progressive political spirit, and unless such a spirit is fostered through progressive political work, it will be impossible to achieve genuine unity between officers and men, impossible to arouse their enthusiasm for the War of Resistance to the full, and impossible to provide an excellent basis for the most effective use of all our technical equipment and tactics."On Protracted Wat" (May 1938), Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 185.*

單純軍事觀點在紅軍一部分同志中非常發展。其表現如:(一)認為軍事政治二者是對立的,不承認軍事只是完成政治任務的工具之一。甚至還有說「軍事好,政治自然會好,軍事不好,政治也不會好」的,則更進一步認為軍事領導政治了。……

The purely military viewpoint is very highly developed among a number of comrades in the Red Army. It manifests itself as follows: 1. These comrades regard military affairs and politics as opposed to each other and refuse to recognize that military affairs are only one means of accomplishing political tasks. Some even say, "If you are good militarily, naturally you are good politically; if you are not good militarily, you cannot be any good politically" - this is to go a step further and give military affairs a leading position over politics. …"On Correcting Mistaken Ideas in the Party" (December 1929), Selected Works, Vol. I, pp. 105-06.

在知識分子和青年學生中間,最近一個時期,思想政治工作減弱了,出現了一些偏向。在一些人的眼中,好像什麼政治,什麼祖國的前途,人類的理想,都沒有關心的必要。好像馬克思主義行時了一陣,現在就不那麼行時了。針對著這種情況,現在需要加強思想政治工作。不論是知識分子,還是青年學生,都應該努力學習。除了學習專業之外,在思想上要有所進步,政治上也要有所進步,這就需要學習馬克思主義,學習時事政治。沒有正確的政治觀點,就等於沒有靈魂。……思想政治工作,各個部門都要負責任。共產黨應該管,青年團應該管,政府主管部門應該管,學校的校長教師更應該管。

Recently there has been a falling off in ideological and political work among students and intellectuals, and some unhealthy tendencies have appeared. Some people seem to think that there is no longer any need to concern oneself with politics or with the future of the motherland and the ideals of mankind. It seems as if Marxism was once all the rage but is currently not so much in fashion. To counter these tendencies, we must strengthen our ideological and political work. Both students and intellectuals should study hard. In addition to the study of their specialized subjects, they must make progress both ideologically and politically, which means that they should study Marxism, current events and politics. Not to have a correct political point of view is like having no soul… All departments and organizations should shoulder their responsibilities in ideological and political work. This applies to the Communist Party, the Youth League, government departments in charge of this work, and especially to heads of educational institutions and teachers.On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People (February 27, 1957); 1st pocket ed., pp. 43-44.*

經過政治教育,紅軍士兵都有了階級覺悟,都有了分配土地、建立政權和武裝工農等項常識,都知道是為了自己和工農階級而作戰。因此,他們能在艱苦的鬥爭中不出怨言。連、營、團都有了士兵會,代表士兵利益,並做政治工作和民衆工作。

After receiving political education, the Red Army soldiers have all become class-conscious and learned the essentials of distributing land, setting up political power, arming the workers and peasants, etc., and they all know they are fighting for themselves, for the working class and the peasantry. Hence they can endure the hardships of the bitter struggle without complaint. Each company, battalion or regiment has its soldiers' committee which represents the interests of the soldiers and carries on political and mass work."The Struggle in the Chingkang Mountains " (November 25, 1928), Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 81.*

由於訴苦(訴舊社會和反動派所給予勞動人民之苦)和三查(查階級、查工作、查鬥志)運動的正確進行,大大提高了全軍指戰員為解放被剝削的勞動大衆,為全國的土地改革,為消滅人民公敵蔣介石匪幫而戰的覺悟性;同時就大大加強了全體指戰員在共產黨領導之下的堅強的團結。在這個基礎上,部隊的純潔性提高了,紀律整頓了,群衆性的練兵運動開展了,完全有領導地有秩序地在部隊中進行的政治、經濟、軍事三方面的民主發揚了。這樣就使部隊萬衆一心,大家想辦法,大家出力量,不怕犧牲,克服物質條件的困難,群威群膽,英勇殺敵。這樣的軍隊,將是無敵於天下的。

The correct unfolding of the movement for pouring out grievances (the wrongs done to the labouring people by the old society and by the reactionaries) and the three check-ups (on class origin, performance of duty and will to fight) greatly heightened the political consciousness of commanders and fighters throughout the army in the fight for the emancipation of the exploited working masses, for nationwide land reform and for the destruction of the common enemy of the people, the Chiang Kaishek bandit gang. It also greatly strengthened the firm unity of all commanders and fighters under the leadership of the Communist Party. On this basis, the army achieved greater purity in its ranks, strengthened discipline, unfolded a mass movement for training, and further developed its political, economic and military democracy in a completely well-led and orderly way. Thus the army has become united as one man, with everybody contributing his ideas and his strength, an army fearless of sacrifice and capable of overcoming material difficulties, which displays mass heroism and daring in destroying the enemy.

差不多一切人民解放軍的部隊,在最近幾個月內,都利用了戰爭的空隙,實行了大規模的整訓。這種整訓,是完全有領導地和有秩序地採用民主方法進行的。由此,激發了廣大的指揮員和戰鬥員群衆的革命熱情,明確地認識了戰爭的目的,清除了存在於軍隊中的若干不正確的思想上的傾向和不良現象,教育了幹部和戰士,極大地提高了戰鬥力。這種民主的群衆性的新式的整軍運動,今後必須繼續進行。

In the last few months almost all the People's Liberation Army has made use of the intervals between battles for large-scale training and consolidation. This has been carried out in a fully guided, orderly and democratic way. It has therefore aroused the revolutionary fervour of the great masses of commanders and fighters, enabled them clearly to comprehend the aim of the war, eliminated certain incorrect ideological tendencies and undesirable manifestations in the army, educated the cadres and fighters and greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. From now on, we must continue to carry on this new type of ideological education movement in the army, a movement which has a democratic and mass character."Speech at a Conference of Cadres in the Shansi-Suiyuan Liberated Area" (April 1, 1948), Selected Works, Vol. IV, p. 234.
