After a while, the ranks of the New Fourth Army developed, and Commander Ye Ting instructed to design new armbands. In order to reflect the New Fourth Army's advance into the north and south of the Yangtze River to carry out the anti-Japanese guerrilla war, the new armband pattern is a certain line of the New Fourth Army, with the English abbreviation "N4A" marked on the top, where "N" is the initials of the English word "New", "A" is the code name of the army, and "N4A" is combined to form the New Fourth Army, and "worn in the 28th year of the Republic of China" is marked on the lower right.
Since then, the New Fourth Army has opened anti-Japanese base areas in southern Anhui, eastern Anhui, southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, and its ranks have been further expanded. 1940 designed a new armband with the words "Down with Japanese imperialism" on it, "Resist the enemy" on the lower left and "1940" on the upper right.
194 1 At the beginning of the year, the Southern Anhui Incident shocked China and foreign countries. The Kuomintang die-hards attacked the headquarters of the New Fourth Army and its subordinate units with heavy troops, which aroused the condemnation of the people all over the country. According to the instructions of Chairman Mao and the CPC Central Committee, the New Fourth Army was rebuilt in Yancheng, with Chen Yi as acting commander and Liu Shaoqi as political commissar. When the artist Zhuang Wuzhou redesigned the armband of the New Fourth Army, he added a five-star to the left and right corners above N4A, with "194 1" in the middle to commemorate the martyrs who died in the Southern Anhui Incident. This armband was quickly simplified into a blue and white armband with only the word "N4A" on it. Because this armband is printed with lithographs, the lines are simple and smooth, with blue characters on a white background, which is eye-catching and powerful. It is well received by soldiers and widely used.
Shortly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the English abbreviation armband of the New Fourth Army was no longer used, and a new armband with the Chinese word "New Fourth Army" was launched. This armband has been used until1947 65438+1October 30th, when the two field armies in Shandong and Central China merged, the designation of the New Fourth Army was revoked. After the Red Army was incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army, the establishment, organization, staffing, clothing and symbols of the troops were basically the same as those of the Kuomintang army. After the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army changed into military uniforms, they all wore "clear sky and day" hat badges.

1in the spring of 939, in order to mobilize the broad masses of officers and men to implement the instructions of the Central Committee on the anti-Japanese national United front and the operational policy of the New Fourth Army, to cooperate with the troops in carrying out revolutionary traditional education and to boost morale, the head of the military department moved to create military songs of the New Fourth Army.

This song shows the indomitable fighting spirit of the New Fourth Army with its high-spirited melody and majestic momentum. Glorious northern expedition to Wuchang at the gates,
Blood defiled our names;
Struggling alone on Mount Luo Xiao,
Inherited the great honor of the martyrs.
Thousands of difficulties and dangers, snow and cold;
Fighting thousands of miles, camping in poor mountains.
Gain rich experience in war,
Exercise the spirit of hard sacrifice.
For the sake of social happiness,
For the survival of the country,
Always adhere to our struggle!
Athletes from eight provinces merged into an anti-Japanese railway,
Athletes from eight provinces merged into an anti-Japanese iron flow.
East! East! We are the new fourth army!
East! East! We are the new fourth army!
At the source of the Yangtze River and the banks of the Huaihe River,
Let's gallop;
Go deep behind enemy lines and win every battle,
The sound of killing the enemy is surging.
We should bravely charge and annihilate the enemy;
Shout loudly to arouse the people.
Give play to the fine traditions of the revolution,
Build a modern revolutionary new army.
For the sake of social happiness,
For the survival of the country,
Consolidate unity and fight resolutely!
During the founding of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and People's Republic of China (PRC), we held high the banner of independence and freedom.
Hold high the banner of independence and freedom during the Anti-Japanese War!
Forward! Forward! We are the new fourth army!
Forward! Forward! We are the new fourth army!
