Chapter 24 5. The struggle led by our party in the combat training class

At the beginning of the establishment of the Nanjing Youth Field Service Training Class, the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee of our party sent underground party members Gu Dachun, Wang Zhenhong, Liu Zengkui (Liu Yeliang) and other comrades to enter the combat training class as students, established an underground party branch, and led the progressive students to fight against the reactionaries. struggle.At that time, in the combat training class, there were more than 20 underground students who were organized and connected.The Chinese National Liberation Vanguard also established a team headquarters in the combat training class, with about 200 members, becoming the backbone of the struggle against the reactionaries.Under the leadership of the underground branch of our party, the pioneers united the vast number of progressive students, and fought against the reactionary activities carried out by the training class authorities in the class, and fought again and again, all of which were victorious.The struggle process is briefly described as follows: In the early days of the war training class, the struggle was carried out around some arguments unfavorable to the War of Resistance spread by Wang Jingwei, Liu Jianqun and others in their "spiritual speeches".For example, they said: Only under the leadership of one party (the Kuomintang), one doctrine (the Three People's Principles), one government (the National Government) and one leader (Chiang Kai-shek) can victory in the War of Resistance be won.We said: We must unite all the democratic parties, unite all anti-Japanese progressive forces, mobilize the people of all nationalities in the country, and fight together in order to win the final victory.

In order to win over these patriotic youths, the Kuomintang served their reactionary political line.Under the planning of the Political Training Department of the combat training class, the Kuomintang students came forward to win over a small number of backward students, and secretly organized a reactionary group in the combat training class - "Fighting Youth Club". One day, a political instructor in the political training department called some students to hold a seminar.The instructor said that in order to enliven the cultural and political life in the class, some students suggested running a poster.The Political Training Office has agreed and I hope everyone can write for the poster.

In late October 1937, the poster was posted, and the registration was called "Battle Poster".Except for a few life experiences written by progressive classmates, most of the manuscripts advocated the fallacy of the Kuomintang's one-party dictatorship.The editor also asks the students to "contribute actively".Under the leadership of the underground branch of our party, among our classmates, our pioneers pointed out that the "Battle Wall" was manipulated by the "Battle Youth Club"; and exposed the details of several key members of the "Battle Youth Club"— When they went to school in Peiping, they were all "vocational students" who received subsidies from the Kuomintang's Beiping City Party Headquarters.Since then, the majority of students seldom write manuscripts for the "Battle Wall".It was time to report two or three issues and then stop.

After the combat training class was withdrawn to Wuhu, all training was stopped, and the life of the students was relatively loose.Our pioneers and progressive students used their spare time to form an anti-Japanese propaganda team and went to the urban area of ​​Wuhu to conduct anti-Japanese and national salvation propaganda to the masses, which aroused the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the masses.The propaganda team had no funds, some of our classmates pawned and sold their clothes and donated the money to the propaganda team.In the years of war and chaos, clothes were worthless, so I sent the bedding and clothes together with the suitcase to the Wuhu pawn shop. The boss saw that I was the "face" of the exiled students in Peking, and gave me 8 yuan.

The leaders of the Political Training Office and the "Fighting Youth Club" took advantage of the students' scattered living in Wuhu and free activities, and invited some people to join their "Fighting Club" by treating guests to dinner, watching a play, watching a movie, etc.Under the leadership of the underground branch of our party, some progressive students knocked on the bowl with chopsticks while eating, shouting: "Fight! Fight!" hinder. The combat training team moved to Yashan Town, Nanling, Jiangxi Province, where the location is remote and the news is blocked.The students don't know the situation of the Anti-Japanese War on the front line, nor do they know where the combat training class is going?Feeling depressed.When we meet, we talk about what to do?In order to relieve the boredom of the students, Liu Yuzhu wrote a copy and circulated article entitled "What should I do?" "It introduced the situation of the Anti-Japanese War mentioned in the letter from outside, and suggested that students read more books, we will one day go to the anti-Japanese battlefield.The article was half written, and the students circulated it.When it was circulated, it was discovered by political instructors. They thought it was to incite students to make trouble, so they reported it to the class headquarters, and suggested that several masterminds should be arrested and escorted to Nanling County Prison as a show of suppression.The instructors of the political training department and the leaders of the "Youth Fighting Club" came to Yashan, and they secretly operated again, using various despicable means to develop their "Battle Club", which aroused the dissatisfaction of the students.

One day, Deputy Director Huang Zhongxiang came to the combat training class and was surrounded by students.Some students questioned him: What is the "Battle Youth Club" for?Why are some people secretly recruiting classmates to join this "organization" that they dare not disclose?Please publish the charter of the "organization".Some practitioners stood up on the spot and exposed the despicable methods used by those who lured him into the "Battle Club".The female students reported to Huang Zhongxiang that the team leader, Dai Mou, had molested a female classmate's hooligan behavior, and demanded that Dai Mou be replaced.The students also exposed the embezzlement of food expenses by the chief secretary, and asked Huang Zhongxiang to investigate and deal with it.The students' questioning and exposure left Huang Zhongxiang speechless.He was forced to announce that Dai would be removed from his post as squadron leader;Regarding the question of the "Fighting Youth Association", he said: I will reply after inquiry.

In order to express his concern for the students, Huang Zhongxiang called Liu Yuzhu and me to his office.He confessed: I came to Yashan to visit all the students in the training class, and I invite you two to talk about the situation in the class.I said: When I came to Yashan, there was no news, and I didn’t understand the situation of the War of Resistance. The students were a little depressed, and hoped to be assigned to the front line as soon as possible to participate in the work of the War of Resistance.Classmate Liu Yuzhu said: I wrote an article, and I wanted to send it to Director Huang for reading after I finished writing it, and then circulated it.But just after writing half of the article, the students circulated it.Huang Zhongxiang said: It's not appropriate to take it out and circulate it without review, so pay attention in the future.Liu Yuzhu went on to say: Someone secretly recruited students to join the "Fighting Youth Club"; is there such an organization in the class?If so, please publish the constitution of the organization; if not, please also ask Director Huang to explain to all the students, so as to solve the doubts of the students.When Huang Zhongxiang convened all the students to speak, he had to announce that the combat training class did not have the organization "Fighting Youth Club".In this way, the "Fighting Youth Club" was illegal.As for the issue of the political instructor's proposal to arrest people, it was virtually suppressed.

When the combat training class was transferred to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, the original three-month training period was about to expire.However, the authorities of the combat training class used the excuse of marching to delay the training plan and wanted to extend the training period.The trainees firmly opposed it and demanded to graduate on time and be assigned to frontline work.Not only did the class authorities not agree to the demands of the students, but they tried to use high-pressure means to realize their conspiracy first from the girls' team.They wanted to force the girl team to leave and continue training.The female students do not accept it.The class authorities withdrew all the political instructors, cooks, and cooking utensils from the girls' team; they wanted to subdue the girls' team by cutting off food.The female students fought resolutely.They organized themselves, took turns to stand guard, and did not allow irrelevant personnel to enter the "Dumu Pavilion" (the girls' team camp); , but did not meet the requirements.The combat training class also sent people to monitor their actions.After the male students learned about it, they resolutely supported the struggle of the female students.Party branch secretary Liu Yeliang and pioneer member Ge Peiqi visited the girls team on behalf of the boys team.On the one hand, they advised the female students to stop in moderation and persevere until a certain point, as long as the authorities agree to our request.On the other hand, taking advantage of the conflict between the Brigade Headquarters and the Political Training Office, Ge Peiqi went to negotiate with the brigade leader Li Bingchang to win his support.Ge stated the situation to Captain Li, and told Li: If the girls' team doesn't resume food tomorrow, the boys' team will support the girls' team with practical actions.Captain Li said: I know about the transfer of the girls' team to continue training; I don't know about cutting off their food supply. Everything must be done in accordance with "natural principles, national laws, and human feelings." Cutting off the girls' team's food supply is a Unkind; they must be fed tomorrow.On the second day, the food for the girls' team was restored.

The girls team persisted in the struggle for seven days and finally won the victory.Our struggle strategy in the combat training class is to use the contradiction between the brigade headquarters and the political training department to win the sympathy of the brigade leader Li Bingchang, so as to defeat the reactionary activities of the political training department and the "battle club".When negotiating with the class authorities, Liu Yuzhu and Ge Peiqi, the former executive members of the Nanjing Pingjin Alumni Association, mostly came forward, rather than the underground party leaders, so as not to expose the identity of the party leaders.The victory of this struggle is also the use of this strategy.
