中国共产党在黄埔军校建校伊始,就积极参与军校的筹建工作,并调派了许多优秀的共产党员到军校任职,还在全国各地选派了大批共产党员、青年团员及左派青年投考军校。这批师生在军校学习期间,相继成立了进步的青年团体:“火星社”、“青年军人社”、“中国青年军人联合会”。在中共广东区委的直接领导下,这些进步团体先后与校内的反动势力及国民党右派进行了针锋相对的斗争。这些军人进步团体在军校内外极其活跃,不仅在军校政治、军事生活中起到了不可替代的作用,并且影响到广东国民政府的军政学商工农各界中。 At the beginning of the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, the CPC took an active part in the preparatory work for setting up the military academy and dispatched many outstanding communists to serve in the military academy. A large number of CPC members, youth members and young left-wing military academies were also selected throughout the country. These teachers and students have set up progressive youth groups one after another during their studies in the military academies: “Mars Society”, “Youth Service”, “China Youth Service Federation”. Under the direct leadership of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, these progressive groups conducted a tit-for-tat struggle against the reactionary forces within the school and the Kuomintang rightists. These progressive military groups are extremely active both inside and outside the military academies and have played an irreplaceable role not only in the political and military affairs of the military academies, but also in the military, government, workers, and peasants and the communes in the guomindang government.
