The Essence of the"Iron Army"and the"Iron Army Spirit"
The term"Iron Army"refers specifically to the independent regiment led by Ye Ting during the Northern Expedition,which later expanded to the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.In sync with this,the"Iron Army Spirit"encom-passes the unwavering military spirit and ideological realm that continues from the independent regiment to the New Fourth Army.Building upon the existing scholarly discourse on the connotation of the"Iron Army Spirit",this study complements and expands on the understanding of this concept by adding the aspect of"assuming the mission of serving and protecting the people."This is based on a comprehensive analysis,summarize,and interpretation of primary materials such as Ye Ting's writings,speeches,manuscripts,decla-rations,public letters,summaries,memoirs,and correspondences found in the collection Selected Works of Ye Ting.
