新四军基层连队的士兵巩固工作

Soldier Consolidation Work in New Fourth Army Grass-roots Units

全国抗战时期,新四军开赴华中敌后,部队迅速发展壮大。但由于扩军要求过快、士兵成分复杂、落后分子和奸细的煽动、战斗残酷、转移频繁、战士不适应集体生活、家庭因素的影响等原因,部队及基层士兵的巩固出现了一定问题。为了巩固部队,新四军采取了一系列措施:执行正确的扩军路线,注重对战士的考查;发扬民主与友爱;解决战士的实际困难,优待战士家属;锄奸防谍,加强对动摇分子的监督和惩罚;改善教育管理方法,建立实施科学有效的管理制度;发挥党员的模范作用,开展有效的思想教育和动员;动员离队士兵归队。通过这些措施,新四军有效减少了士兵的逃亡,促进了部队的巩固,提高了部队战斗力。

During the Comprehensive War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,the New Fourth Army marched to the area behind enemy lines in central China and its forces developed rapidly.However,there appeared some problems in the consolidation of troops and grassroots soldiers because of the rapid expansion requirements and complex composition of soldiers,plus incitement of backward elements and enemy agents’instigation,brutal battle situations and frequent transfer,inability of soldiers to adapt to collective life and influence from family members.In order to strengthen the troops,the New Fourth Army adopted a series of measures.It carried out the right expansion line and emphasized examination of soldiers;it carried forward democracy and nurtured fraternity;it helped solve the actual difficulties of soldiers and gave preferential treatment to their families;it combated and prevented enemy espionage,and strengthened supervision and punishment of those who wavered;it improved on its methods of education and management,formulated and implemented a scientific and effective management system;it gave full play to the exemplary role of Party members,developed effective ideological education,and mobilized those who had left the army to return and rejoin the army.With these measures,the New Fourth Army effectively reduced the number of escapees,prompted the consolidation of the troops and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops.
