The Battle of Northern Guangdong was the three large-scale fierce offensive and defensive wars carried out by the Chinese and Japanese troops in Northern Guangdong from the end of 1939 to the beginning of 1945.After the fall of Guangzhou,the Guangdong authorities faced a severe military and social situation.In the face of the tense situation of the Japanese army attacking north at any time,in addition to vigorously instigating the mass and carrying out a comprehensive and lasting war of resistance,there is no other way.Before the war,the Guangdong authorities used Shaoguan as the temporary provincial capital and did a lot of preparations for mass mobilization.Under the leadership of the party and government authorities,the Provincial Mobilization Committee and the Provincial Political Work Corps,the leading agencies for mobilizing the province,were established.The Provincial New Life Movement Promotion Association Women's Work Committee and the Provincial Relief Committee,which played an important role in mobilization,were also reorganized.The military authorities set up a political corps to strengthen the political work of the military.The party,government,and military authorities jointly established the Provincial Field Service Committee and the Provincial Military-civilian Cooperation Station to strengthen cooperation between each other.With the development of the Battle of Northern Guangdong,the authorities spare no effort to use the oral,written,artistic,and exhibition forms to promote anti-Japanese publicity.Among them,oral publicity includes speeches,individual conversations,family visits,etc.Text promotion includes slogans,leaflets,newspapers,books,etc.Art propaganda includes songs,plays,comics,reportage and more.At the same time,the authorities are also committed to organizing training for the mass.In order to training thestaff of mobilization,the authorities have set up various training courses;in order to organizing and training the mass,the military training of the mass,the training of local militia teams,and the training of the national soldiers are also intensified.The implementation of these tasks has greatly enhanced the effectiveness of mass mobilization.During the war,the mass resolutely carried out the orders to Scorched-earth policy and destroying traffic,and actively participated in various battlefield services such as ambulance,comfort,transportation,and leading the way,and even directly participated in the war against Japan.It is crucial for two great successes in the Battle of Northern Guangdong.The authorities have promoted mass mobilization with democratic politics and people's livelihood,leaving valuable experience.For the third campaign in Northern Guangdong,the incomplete mobilization of the people is also one of the important reasons.However,it cannot be denied the importance of mass mobilization for the battle of northern Guangdong.To ensure the normal operation of the war machine,public mobilization needs to be closely coordinated with political and military and other elements.
