Guerrilla fighters in Kan Ying Si

1In February, 935, the Central Red Army arrived in Yunnan, and the Party Central Committee held a meeting in Tashi to break the new siege of the enemy, contain the enemy and cooperate with the main force of the Red Army. It was decided to create a new Soviet base area in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou border region, and the Central Committee and the Military Commission dispatched cadres to set up the South Sichuan Special Committee and the Red Army's South Sichuan Guerrilla Column. Under the direct leadership of the Central Committee, the South Sichuan Special Committee is responsible for leading the Red Army's guerrilla column in South Sichuan and local work in the areas south of the Yangtze River and east of Jinsha River, including the work area of Lu Xian County Committee. Kan Ying Si continued to serve as secretary of the column headquarters, secretary of the General Party Branch and propaganda captain of the Political Department.

Under the leadership of the South Sichuan Special Committee, Kan Ying Si often fought side by side with Li Guihong, a female instructor of the Red Army who stayed in the column (later named Li Guiying, the organization minister of the South Sichuan guerrilla column and the lover of Dai Yuanhuai, a stretcher instructor of the Ministry of Health). The column weaves around the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou border region. In guerrilla warfare, wherever it goes, it not only completes combat tasks, but also mobilizes the masses. Kan Ying Si leads the propaganda team, and wherever he goes, he publicizes it. She speaks Sichuan dialect, is familiar with local customs, can speak and write, and can sing and dance well. The masses are happy to listen to her propaganda. I like to get in touch with her. She and the comrades of the propaganda team took advantage of various opportunities and took various forms to publicize the thought of the * * * production party, clarify the nature and tasks of the guerrillas, expose all kinds of rumors made by reactionaries, dispel people's concerns and stimulate the revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses.

At that time, many revolutionary slogans and slogans were written by Ying Si himself in the areas where the columns were active. For example, 1935 International Labor Day, the column held a military-civilian meeting in Xuyong. Xu Ce, secretary of the Special Committee, made a report on the international and domestic situation at the meeting, and announced the current program of workers and peasants struggle in southern Sichuan formulated by the Special Committee. Kan immediately set the table, boarded the stone bench, raised his writing brush, and wrote down the contents of the program word by word on the wall of the Hu family. Onlookers praised her spirit of disregarding fatigue and being enthusiastic about revolution. The working people support this "program" very much, cherish it and regard it as a weapon in their struggle to turn over and seek liberation.

When the column broke into Xupengxi (also known as Huguo Town) in Naxi, as soon as they entered the field, the people had concerns from the beginning, running and hiding, and closing the door. The soldiers immediately publicized and declared: "The Red Army is the child of the poor family, and they defeated Chiang Kai-shek and liberated the poor ..." Later, the people saw that the Red Army was disciplined, made no mistakes, spoke kindly and traded fairly. In particular, the words and deeds of the two female Red Army are even more striking. In an instant, groups of people around asked questions and talked cordially, and the once deserted town became steaming. That night, when the propaganda team performed a civilized drama in Wanshou Palace, the town auditorium, the audience reached hundreds. At that time, Kan Ying Si and others wore HongLing to perform on stage, promoting the poor to turn over and seek liberation, expanding the Red Army, and a group of young people enthusiastically joined the army. The living old people still remember it vividly. After the column occupied Junlian county, the masses listened to the propaganda team and watched the commander's every move. The old man sighed with emotion: "We have seen all kinds of soldiers in my life, but we have never seen such a good army." They bring tea and water to the soldiers, make room, hold grass and are very enthusiastic. When the guerrillas just hit Luobiao, Gongxian County, what the masses saw was Kan Ying Si in Tsing Yi, wearing a green hat, green leggings, a five-pointed star red hat and sandals, with dignified appearance and elegant manners. He speaks earnestly, and his words are both military and amiable, which is admirable. Some immediately recited poems: "I miss flowers and trees (that is, Mulan) and don't love boudoir." Fully expressed the people's admiration for the Red Army soldiers. After the column occupied Luobiao for the second time, Kanhegui heard the poor woman Chen Jinfeng accuse the general manager of Luobiao District Group and tigress Fan Liangzhen of the crime of counterattack after the last column battle, and immediately reported to the special committee. After verification and approval, the tigress who did not escape was executed immediately, which won the enthusiastic support of the broad masses.

Kan Ying Si is alert and experienced in secret work, and the column leader arranges her to do important liaison work. At that time, the Guizhou Provincial Working Committee sent people to secretly contact several times, and she handled it first. For example, 1935 10, when the other party sent Kang Qingchuang with a secret letter to find the Dading (generous) column headquarters in this province, Kan Ying Si learned through contact and was led to negotiate with political commissar Yu Zehong. According to the instructions of the leader, she arranged Kang's accommodation properly. The next day, before dawn, she woke Kang up, gave him a secret letter, sewed it in his trousers, gave him a white sweatshirt and a pack of cigarettes, dressed as a businessman, and repeatedly told him to send Kang on his way until he left.
