Zhou Fu: the Spiritual Pillar of the National Army of the Central Plains Anti-Japanese Front

Zhou Fu was born in Zhou Jiacun, Husha Lake, Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province on April 24th, 1900. My father, Zhou Shilin, is loyal to farming for a living. Mother Deng, hardworking and virtuous, gave birth to 6 boys/kloc-0 girls. Due to poverty, five children died one after another, leaving only Zhou Fu and his younger brother. When Zhou Fu was 8 years old, his father died. 12 years old, a private school for four years, was introduced as an apprentice to Yifeng Grain Business in the county. 15 years old, transferred to Fengtai Grain Company to help. Zhou Fu is smart and capable, and is highly valued by his boss. He often travels between Linchuan and Nanchang, Shanghai and other cities, gradually broadening his horizons and establishing the idea of serving the country from the army.

1924, Zhou Fu abandoned business to join the army and was admitted to the third phase of Huangpu Military Academy. During my study, I took part in the crusade against Chen Jiongming and the uprising against Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan, and made great achievements. 1927 Secretary of the Political Department of Huangpu Military Academy. 193 1 established yadong news agency as its president. In the same year, he was elected as the standing supervisory member of the Organization Department of Nanjing Municipal Committee. Soon he went to Japan, entered the Tokyo Army NCO School, and then transferred to Meiji University for further study.

Zhou Fu was famous for his literary talent and political vision in the military academy, which was highly praised by his colleagues and attracted the attention of Chiang Kai-shek. 193265438+1On October 28th, Sino-Japanese War broke out in Songhu, and Zhou Fu stopped studying and returned to China. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had already stepped down. In order to make a comeback and expand his political power, Chiang Kai-shek secretly convened Huangpu confidant cadres in February to prepare for the establishment of the long-awaited "Three People's Principles Li Xing Society" (the "Blue Clothes Society"). As one of Chiang Kai-shek's cronies, Zhou Fu was summoned and spent 10 times in the official residence. 1 year in March, the "Order of the Three People's Principles" was formally established. Chiang Kai-shek personally served as the president, and Zhou Fu served as the chief procurator of the procuratorate, responsible for the work of the central government of the whole society and became one of Chiang Kai-shek's confidants. Chiang Kai-shek liked it very much because his work was fruitful. 1935 was entrusted with the important task of * * * Nanjing Party Committee Commissioner, responsible for promoting party affairs in Nanjing until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

After the July 7th Incident broke out, Zhou Fu immediately threw himself into the anti-Japanese and anti-aggression struggle. Two years ago, Ren Guojun served as Lieutenant General of the Political Department of the First Theater, and moved to the Central Plains Anti-Japanese Front. From 65438 to 0939, he was transferred to the position of director of the political department of Su Ru Theater. The whole country thinks that the Su Ru war zone is far behind enemy lines, and the political struggle against the enemy and puppet troops should pay equal attention to the military struggle. In order to meet this need, Zhou Fu was specially appointed as the director of the Political Department of Lusu Theater, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Executive Committee of the Special Party Department of the Theater, the academic affairs member of the cadre training group, and the member of Shandong Province. After Zhou Fu took office, he worked hard quickly. During the war, he went to the front to direct bidding. Usually train people to expand publicity. And founded the "daily presence" to boost morale. At work, he dared to take risks that others dared not take, and was in a difficult position, so he was deeply loved by officers and men and became the spiritual pillar of the war zone. The rusu war zone was violently attacked by the Japanese army several times, and it never moved, which was inseparable from Zhou Fu's efforts.

194 1 1 In June, the Japanese army in North China assembled more than 65,438+10,000 people. Under the unified command of Lieutenant General Tuqiao, commander of the 12th Army, they launched an "encirclement and suppression campaign with an iron wall" in Yimeng Mountain area in three ways, and launched a large-scale attack again in an attempt to wipe out the troops in Su Ru Theater and the Eighth Route Army in this area. At that time, in the area surrounded by the Japanese army, there were only two divisions under the direct command of Su Ru Theater Command, but there were more than 20,000 people. After 10 days of fighting, the headquarters moved to Juxian county and Rizhao mountain. 1in August, 942, the Japanese army secretly dispatched at night and suddenly surrounded the Su Ru theater headquarters located at Pingtou, which is15km east of Juxian County. Commander-in-Chief Yu Xuezhong arrived with Zhou Fu after hearing the news, and escaped before the Japanese army surrounded him. On August 20, the Japanese army surrounded the main forces of the war zone, Tangwangshan and Leigushan. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, the troops in the Eastern Shandong Theater annihilated more than 200 people and successfully broke through. Zhou Fu saved the day and led the political department to Ujiyama, Dongjiazhai Village, Anqiu Township, southwest China.

1943 65438+ 10/8. Wu, the commander of the new fourth division, led the whole division and the first security division to defect to the enemy. The forces in Su Ru war zone plummeted, and the war situation became increasingly severe. On February 17, more than 20,000 Japanese troops, with the cooperation of the Wu Puppet Army, began to "mop up" Chengdingshan area in the southwest of Anqiu, and the political department led by Zhou Fu was unfortunately evacuated to Chengdingshan. In the early morning of the 20th, Ding Chengshan was surrounded by Japanese troops. Wu's puppet troops are familiar with the terrain and set up suspicious battles: lighting fires on the hills, hanging flags in vain and pretending to be suspicious soldiers; On the main road of the ravine, arrange multi-layer troops to wait for the ambush. The 678th Regiment of the * * * Army 1 13 Division stationed in the city, after a period of persistence, launched hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, which was extremely fierce and murderous. The next day, the 678th regiment was outnumbered, with more than half of the casualties, so the division had to order it to break through separately. Zhou Fu, regardless of personal safety, led dozens of death squads and killed them at the foot of the mountain. When he arrived at Zhangjiagou village halfway up the mountain in Beigang, Shandong Province, he was unfortunately shot in the chest. He endured severe pain and continued to direct the breakthrough until his death. Under the bullets, the soldiers took Zhou Fu's body back and buried it in nearby Xuquan village after the war.

After the news of Zhou Fu's death reached Chongqing, the whole country explicitly posthumously awarded Zhou Fu as an army general. 1994, the people and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China ratified Zhou Fu as a revolutionary martyr.
