Member of the Field Service Corps of the New Fourth Army
When the New Fourth Army was founded, a field service regiment was also formed, mainly to attract young intellectuals to participate in the War of Resistance, to publicize the ideas of the whole nation in the form of rich and colorful literature and art, and because of its outstanding achievements, it was known as the "Light Cavalry of the Iron Army". The young people in the service group joined the Communist Party one after another in the struggle. The head of the service regiment was Zhu Kejing, a well-known veteran communist. In the three years in southern Anhui, almost every village in southern Anhui has left a footprint of the service group's activities. A group of young people from overseas and big cities tempered themselves into a combat team with excellent civil and military skills in the test of the war, and became the right-hand man and pioneer of the New Fourth Army in carrying out the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression behind enemy lines.
Zhu Kejing, commander of the Field Service Regiment of the New Fourth Army
It is said that one day in May 1940, the Field Service Regiment of the New Fourth Army, under the leadership of zhu Kejing, the commander of the regiment, was invited to perform at the Jiangnan General Headquarters of the Third Theater. Here, the service group performed several plays in a row, held painting exhibitions, carried out singing activities, and publicized the Communist Party's anti-Japanese ideas. At the forum held after the performance, Leng Xin, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Jiangnan General Headquarters, commander of the Second Guerrilla Zone, and one of the leaders of the diehard faction, wanted to win over a few young people from the service group for his own use. He asked the actress Chang Zhuming: "Your play is good." How much money do you get in a month? Chang Zhuming replied, "Three yuan is a subsidy fee." Leng Xin seduced him and said, "Too little, come to me and take more than twenty pieces!" Chang Zhuming replied, "I am fighting against Japan, not for money." If you want money, my family has a lot of money! Leng Xin was shocked and asked, "Ah, you are a rich lady?" So why leave your hometown and join the New Fourth Army? Chang Zhuming replied: Japan invades China, the country will die, I want to resist! The New Fourth Army was the most resolute in its war of resistance! Chang Zhuming is right, she came from a capitalist family in Shanghai, and the family had money. At the moment of national peril, she resolutely bid farewell to her family, gave up a good life, joined the New Fourth Army, and became a communist. Leng Xin couldn't move Chang Zhuming, but he was not dead hearted, and asked several service group members, but they didn't get the results he wanted. So he found the female team member Kang Ning again, played the emotional card, he asked Kang Ning: "I heard that you are a descendant of the Nantong Zhang Xiao family, is it not?" Corning replied, "Yes." Leng Xin said, "I am related to your Zhang family." Your play is well performed, come to work in our troops. Kang Ning said: "I am very good in the New Fourth Army, and I want to resolutely resist Japan in the New Fourth Army." Leng Xin asked falsely, "Do you want money to use it?" "Don't." Corning resolutely refused. Leng Xin found nothing, and helplessly and surprisedly asked Zhu Kejing, "How did you train these young people?" ”
Leng Xin did not understand, even if Zhu Kejing, the head of the regiment, told him how these young people had grown up to be communists with firm beliefs, he would not understand. Because he was not a patriot, not a man of faith and feelings, he was just a warlord who followed Chiang Kai-shek in the civil war. Looking at the Kuomintang on the island today, why is it scattered and left to be slaughtered, but it also has no faith, no soul, and only selfish interests.
