Go to the front-the Red Army in southern Zhejiang was incorporated into the New Fourth Army.

1937 10 The Red Army's Forward Division, which has persisted in guerrilla warfare for three years in southern and southwestern Zhejiang, began to concentrate on Pingyang North Port. After the troops were assembled, they were reorganized into the Fujian-Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Guerrilla of the National Revolutionary Army, with the former commander Su Yu as the commander and the temporary provincial party secretary Liu Ying as the political commissar. In order to adapt to the new situation, train military and political cadres and promote the in-depth development of the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement, the Provisional Provincial Party Committee established the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Cadre School. Progressive youths from Wenzhou and southern Zhejiang counties enthusiastically signed up. The school is located in Douxi Primary School in Shanmen, Pingyang, also known as Shanmen Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Cadre School, with Su Yu as the principal. The school offers four courses: philosophy, political economy, anti-Japanese national United front and guerrilla tactics. Su Yu, Liu Ying and other leading comrades often come to the school to give lectures and reports, and at the same time cooperate with the training of military subjects such as assassination, shooting, camping and marching. In order to cooperate with the teaching of rural economics, the school organized social surveys and went deep into the villages of Shanmen to conduct in-depth investigations and studies on farmers. Cadre cadres also organized propaganda teams to go deep into Pingyang, Rui 'an, Taishun and other counties for publicity and performances, and visited poor people, which expanded the political influence of the China * * * production party. 1March, 938, Ceng Shan, deputy secretary and organization minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Southeast Branch, arrived at Pingyang Mountain Gate to convey the instructions of the Central and Southeast Branches. The Red Army troops in southern Zhejiang were incorporated into the New Fourth Army and concentrated in Jingxian County in southern Anhui. Some students of ultra-leftwing cadres formed a "service group with the army" and joined the Fujian-Zhejiang anti-Japanese guerrillas led by Su Yu to go to southern Anhui. The rest of the students were assigned to work in various places by the provincial party Committee.

1in March, 938, Ceng Shan, deputy secretary and organization minister of the Southeast Branch of the Central Committee, arrived in Pingyang, and conveyed to the Fujian-Zhejiang Provisional Provincial Committee the instructions of the Southeast Branch that the Red Army from southern Zhejiang went to southern Anhui to be incorporated into the New Fourth Army and set up the Zhejiang Provisional Provincial Committee.

On March 18, Su Yu led more than 400 people from Pingyang to southern Anhui, which was warmly welcomed and sympathized by people from all walks of life.

On April 18, the troops arrived in Yan Temple, Anhui Province, and were reorganized into the 3rd Battalion, 4th Regiment, the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, with Su Yu as the deputy commander of the second detachment. In the same month, more than 60 recruits from southern Zhejiang went to southern Anhui to join the New Fourth Army, bringing the total number of recruits from southern Zhejiang to southern Anhui to more than 500.
