One night in late April 1938, Wannan Yan Temple was surrounded by green trees and gurgling streams, peaceful and beautiful. A village in Yansi is extremely lively. The advance detachment led by Su Yu and the detachment led by Chen Yi are about to advance into Jiangnan.
The leader of the New Fourth Army Field Service Corps Zhu Kejing was mobilizing the members to sign up for the front line. He said: "Comrades, Comrades Chen Yi and Su Yu will lead the troops to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in Jiangnan, where they will severely attack the Japanese invaders. .Our field service The service group must play its role, perform performances for the soldiers, and publicize our army’s anti-Japanese proposition to the masses. Members who are willing to go to the front line should sign up immediately.” One member said: "I am from Jiangsu and understand the Jiangnan language. I can communicate better with the masses when I go there." Another member said: "I am from Shanghai and am familiar with the customs of Jiangnan. It is easier to mingle with the masses." On the front line, everyone was blushing and necking. Later, the leaders identified dozens of comrades to go to the front line.
Speaking of field service corps, many people’s first impression is of literary and artistic workers who perform performances specifically for soldiers to boost their morale. However, what everyone knows is only part of the work of the Field Service Corps. In fact, their work was quite extensive. In addition to carrying out anti-Japanese propaganda activities, they also talked with and mobilized the masses, participated in rescuing the wounded, cleaning the battlefield, managing and educating prisoners of war, and even negotiated with the enemy. The Field Service Corps played a very important role on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
In January 1938, the New Fourth Army's military headquarters moved from Wuhan to Nanchang, and established the New Fourth Army Field Service Corps. Its members were composed of progressive cultural workers and young students, with a total of more than 100 people. It is divided into drama group, singing group, painting group, dance group, democratic movement group, etc.
From early January to early April 1938, the New Fourth Army Field Service Corps held many evening parties in Nanchang. They wrote and performed the dance "March of the Volunteers" and performed cantata, dramas and operas, which were very popular with the audience. Members of the service corps, wearing gray military uniforms and blue armbands with the word "Resist the Enemy", walked neatly on the streets of Nanchang and sang anti-Japanese and national salvation songs in unison, which greatly inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people on the streets. People said: "The ranks of the New Fourth Army are full of vigor, but they are different."
Seeing this situation, the regiment leader Zhu Kejing discussed with everyone: "Soldiers of the Jiang Army Fighting is very hard and mentally stressful, let’s perform a show for them to appease them.” Everyone agreed. The first song sung by the members was "Song of Comfort to the Wounded Soldiers" written by Tian Han and composed by Nie Er. This song was soothing and melodious. The members sang it sincerely, and the frowns of the Jiang Jun soldiers slowly relaxed. Expand.
Then, everyone performed anti-Japanese dances, recitations and other programs. The wounded soldiers were infected by the high emotions and applauded non-stop. After the performance, the wounded soldiers were very happy when they learned that the performers were all New Fourth Army soldiers. They said: "Thank you for your wonderful performance. The New Fourth Army team is very enthusiastic about the war."
In early June, the field service corps accompanied an army After marching more than 80 miles overnight, they passed through the Jiangnan blockade occupied by the Japanese army and arrived at Dongmendu in southern Jiangsu early the next morning. Everyone was very tired and rested here for the day. The Political Department notified the field service corps to hold the first military-civilian gala behind enemy lines in Jiangnan. The corps members got up immediately after taking a break and prepared props, door panels, and lights separately.
A member of the regiment found that there was no military flag and thought that Commander Chen Yi must have one. He ran to the door of Chen Yi's room and saw a military flag, so he said to Chen Yi: "Commander, can you lend us your military flag for the performance?" Chen Yi said with a smile: "Take it, I will look at it at night." Great show from you guys."At night, after the performance showed the New Fourth Army annihilating the Japanese troops, the actors waved military flags, and all the audience applauded enthusiastically and shouted: "Japanese bandits get out of China!" "
The people behind enemy lines in Jiangnan watched the performance for the first time. They felt the strong determination and high fighting spirit of the New Fourth Army in the war of resistance and were very inspired. Everyone said that the Chinese have backbone and must defeat the Japanese. Some old men and women burst into tears. He said with tears in his eyes: "With such troops, there is hope for victory in the War of Resistance. "
The performance of the field service group caused a sensation not only in the anti-Japanese areas, but also in the areas controlled by the Chiang Kai-shek Army. In May 1940, the group leader Zhu Kejing led the team and followed Su Yu to the headquarters of Lengxin in the third theater of the Chiang Army. . The service group held several performances, an art exhibition, and carried out singing activities and other cultural activities in this area. , which made the masses feel refreshed and excited.
Leng Xin was the die-hard leader in southern Jiangsu. He didn't expect that the service group's propaganda would have such a great impact. He thought, wouldn't this be a good sign? Wouldn't this make the masses support the New Fourth Army? I talked to several members and said, "The conditions for food and accommodation in the New Fourth Army are not good, and you are running around all day long, which is hard on your health. You can recharge your batteries and preserve your strength here, or you can stay here and the treatment will definitely be better than that of the New Fourth Army. "
Several members of the regiment rejected him on the grounds that the New Fourth Army soldiers obeyed the organization's arrangements. Leng Xin ran into obstacles one after another and couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked Zhu Kejing: "How do you train this group of young people? "Zhu Kejing said: "This is the revolutionary team. "
The field service regiment moved with the army and also faced the risk of sacrifice. The New Fourth Army Jiangnan Command led its troops to move north of the Yangtze River, and the service regiment also moved with the army. The sky was already dark, and when they passed the Japanese blockade, they were attacked by Japanese firepower. The Japanese army The machine gun keeps firing
.member Xu Ying was shot in the arm and was bleeding profusely. Member Wang Yugeng hurriedly bandaged Xu Ying with his own towel. Several female comrades in the service group walked slower and were at a certain distance from the main force. Finding that member Li Min was falling further behind, Wang Yugeng saw that Li Min's face was pale and he was holding a tree with his hand, so he asked quickly: "Where are you injured?" Li Min gasped and pointed to his left chest and said, "Here." "
Wang Yugeng saw blood coming out of her left breast, and immediately found a towel and bandaged her hard. Li Min sat down against the tree and said, "I can't survive anymore. You go quickly and find the troops." "These female comrades couldn't lift her. Wang Yugeng said: "Don't be afraid, sit here for a while. After we find the troops, we will come back to you immediately. "After several people found the army, they arranged for several male comrades to return to find Li Min.
She had been sent to a hidden field hospital in the village by the local people. The regiment leader Zhu Kejing and other comrades rushed to the hospital and saw that Li Min was dying. , several comrades were sad and shed tears, but Li Min slowly said: "Comrades, the revolution bleeds without tears. "After finished speaking, she closed her eyes and died. Li Min is a representative of the martyrs of the Field Service Corps who sacrificed their lives for the revolution. There are also many members who sacrificed their lives for the Anti-Japanese War and the cause of the Chinese revolution.
The leader of the regiment, Zhu Kejing, not only led the Field Service Corps Performing propaganda performances and mobilizing the masses He is also a master of negotiation. The New Fourth Army advanced into the column to launch a self-defense campaign and defeated the siege of 13 regiments of Li Changjiang, deputy commander of the Jiangsu and Anhui border guerrillas, and approached Taizhou City.
