Reds Told to Expand, Launch More Attacks

The NPA must arrest for trial the worst of plunderers, human rights violators and other anti-social criminals. Formal complaints must be drawn up to serve as basis for the people’s court to issue warrants of arrest and seizure of case-pertinent materials. If the criminal suspect does not surrender himself for investigation and is armed and dangerous or has armed bodyguards, those assigned to arrest him should be ready to give battle. A criminal suspect for whom a warrant of arrest has been issued by the people’s court may be considered resisting arrest if he does not surrender himself to or through any authority of the people’s government.

The minimum land reform program must be raised to the level of the maximum program whenever the latter is already possible due to the success of the minimum land reform program, the sufficient strength of the peasant mass movement and the NPA, and the weakness, paralysis or flight of the class enemy. Production in agriculture and other lines of economic activity must be raised. The Party, the NPA and the peasant movement must firmly and vigorously apply the anti-feudal united front policy of relying mainly on the poor peasants and workers, winning over the middle peasants, neutralizing the rich peasants, taking advantage of the splits in the landlord class and isolating and destroying the political power of the despotic landlords.

Under the leadership of the Party, the NPA must play a major role in building the guerrilla fronts and the stable base areas. In its mass work, it must establish the organs of political power and the mass organizations. It must augment its military strength by training the militia and self-defense units for the mass organizations. It must develop propaganda and cultural teams and urge the mass organizations to do likewise. It must encourage the public school teachers who are still paid by the reactionary government to undertake revolutionary education among the students. It must support the work of the people’s court and enforce its decisions.

We are confident that in the near future we shall be able to develop the revolutionary struggle from the middle to the advanced phase of the strategic defensive, multiply the number of platoons for extensive and intensive guerrilla warfare on the basis of ever widening and deepening mass base, gain the capability to undertake company-sized and battalion-sized offensives under provincial and regional commands, carry out agrarian revolution on an ever widening scale at an accelerated rate, and govern combinations of guerrilla fronts as relatively stable base areas.
