In 1940, a Kuomintang army of more than 2,000 people came to the base area of the New Fourth Army in Huainan Province. It was Dai Kasa's brother-in-law who eventually remained in the New Fourth Army, and Dai Kasa's brother-in-law said, "I just want to sell cloth." Ignoring the retention of the New Fourth Army, he chose to leave and went to Shanghai to do business.
Sheng Zijin, a native of Anhui and Hexian County, once joined our party and later chose to defect. Before the outbreak of the "July 7 Incident", Sheng Zijin had left the army and opened a factory in Shanghai. During this period, Sheng Zijin met Dai Kasa's cousin Yang Wenwei (a secret agent), and thus became acquainted with Dai Kasa, the head of the military command.
In 1938, with the support of Dai Kasa, Sheng Zijin married Yang Wenwei and was officially pulled into the military command secret service organization. Dai Kasa attached great importance to this brother-in-law, and even gave him a radio station to let him have a one-line contact with himself. Under the promotion of Dai Kasa, Sheng Zijin quickly soared in the National Government.
With dai's approval, Sheng Zijin was arranged to Lu'an, Anhui Province, and served as the governor of Lu'an County. After a period of confusion in Lu'an, Sheng Zijin earned political capital and was quickly promoted to the position of administrative inspector of the 6th district of Anhui Province and the commander of the 5th guerrilla commander of the Kuomintang 5th Theater. At this time, all the units of the Kuomintang army lacked weapons and ammunition, and the guerrilla army had no one and no guns, and all relied on Sheng Zijin to raise funds by himself.
Fortunately, with the back against the big tree for cooling, with the support of Dai Kasa, more than two thousand guns came. Then there was the recruitment, and Sheng Zijin raised the banner of anti-Japanese resistance and pulled up an anti-Japanese guerrilla army of more than 2,000 people. In the anti-Japanese battlefield in northeast Anhui, Sheng Zijin did not forget the matter of joining the party at the beginning, and began to make contact with the New Fourth Army, and the two sides cooperated in the battle.
Since then, in the anti-Japanese battlefield in northeast Anhui, Sheng Zijin's troops have won several major victories, which has inspired the determination of the military and people in northeast Anhui to resist the war. Later, the New Fourth Army sent several comrades to serve as the director of the political department and the military director of Sheng Zijin's department. In the autumn of 1938, because Sheng Zijin had offended the bullies and gentry forces in northeastern Anhui, he was falsely accused, and he himself was assassinated.
In January 1939, the anhui provincial government sent Ma Xinting to lead thousands of troops into northeastern Anhui, hoping to let Ma Xinting succeed Sheng Zijin. Ma Xinting was the vanguard of friction caused by the Kuomintang army, and there was much collusion with the local bullies and gentry, and his subordinates either beat up or scolded the common people, and were cruel and unkind. The New Fourth Army in northeastern Anhui province saw that Ma Xinting's troops were committing wrongdoing, and believed that it was necessary to "support Sheng Sheng and drive the horses" and support Sheng Zijin to continue to serve as the commander of the 5th guerrilla army.
Under the command of Zhang Aiping, commander of the 4th General Brigade of the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army joined forces with Sheng Zijin's troops to expel Ma Xinting's troops, and the people clapped their hands and applauded. Ma Xinting's troops were annihilated, and he fled in a hurry and began to make false accusations again. Li Pinxian, chairman of Anhui Province, shielded Ma Xinting and directly ordered the arrest of Sheng Zijin, who had no choice but to lead his troops through Huainan and move to northern Jiangsu.
After coming to Huainan, under the repeated persuasion of the New Fourth Army, Sheng Zijin decided to leave his troops to the New Fourth Army, but he insisted on leaving. The head of the New Fourth Army proposed: "Strive to keep Sheng, Sheng stay, and cooperate with him to resist the war to the end", and even proposed to support Sheng Zijin to continue to serve as the top commissioner of the Northeast Anhui Bureau.
However, Sheng Zijin had no intention of politics because of the mutual inclination among the Kuomintang troops, and proposed: "I only want to go to Shanghai to sell cloth..." In the end, more than 2,000 people under Sheng Zijin's army stayed in the New Fourth Army, and Sheng Zijin left with more than thirty of his henchmen and gold and silver. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sheng Zijin opened a cotton company with Chennault in Shanghai, and he became the general manager.
Unfortunately, the Kuomintang did not spare him, and in 1948, he was sentenced by the Nationalist government to "collude with the Japanese for smuggling" and was imprisoned again, which shows the degree of corruption of the Kuomintang army.
