1943 was a year of rapid decline of the world fascist bloc; on the European battlefield, the Soviet Red Army had forced the German army to move to the defense on all fronts; in the Pacific theater, the Allied ** team broke the outer defensive circle of the Japanese army, and the little devils were forced to retreat to the inner defense line with the Philippines as the fulcrum

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, little Japanese devils threw all their national defense forces into the battlefield, and a large number of the army's troops were already deeply embedded in China's nearly 20 million square kilometers of land and could not pull out their feet. The main forces of the navy and air force are also scattered in the vast Pacific waters, and there is less and less hope of victory

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the attacks of the little devils were successful everywhere, the scope of the occupied areas became larger and larger, the battle front was constantly extended, the troops in China were already insufficient, and the Pacific War required the transfer of some troops from the occupied areas of China, and this undoubtedly increased the burden of the Japanese little devils in China

Due to the above-mentioned reasons, the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission held a meeting, and at the presiding meeting, he said: "The end of the devil is coming, judging from Lao Chiang's attitude towards our party and our army, civil war is inevitable, and in this new situation, where should we focus our next work?

"The most crucial issue now is the improvement of the quality of cadres," he said, "The level of the existing cadres is uneven, and they do not meet the needs of the next major counteroffensive."

"I feel this way no exception," Zhou Enlai said, "Our 'Kang Da' also needs to increase the number of students enrolled, and at the same time, we must also improve the quality of teaching, so that we can carry out our work in the new situation."

"Okay," Zhu De continued, "yes, this is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently, and it should be a big problem that needs to be solved right away."

"Comrades" issued a solemn order: "Based on everyone's opinions, I will now give instructions to all units: I ask them to transfer the backbone cadres to Yan'an in stages to study and implement them immediately."

On 8 March 1943, after our New Fourth Army received the order, Chen Yi, commander of the New Fourth Army, immediately conveyed the order to the whole army and the localities, and several divisions of the New Fourth Army immediately took action, and all cadres above the regimental level were selected to study in Ting'an

Before the Cadres of the Third Division Left, Huang Kecheng, commander and political commissar of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, analyzed the current situation at the mobilization meeting

Division Commander Huang said: "The enemy's sweep is moving from point to point, and we must carry out a sweep of our base areas, and the situation is urgent, so we must leave now, and the time to go to Yan'an cannot be postponed; now, after repeated study, it has finally been decided to go by two routes: One is that Comrade Peng Xiong, chief of staff of our Third Division, is responsible for taking the Seventh Brigade and local cadres from the land, and the other is that Tian Shouyao, commander of the Eighth Brigade, and Comrade Zhang Chimin (Chi Ming), director of the Political Department, are responsible for taking the cadres of the Eighth Brigade and the Independent Regiment by sea, and both roads pass through Shandong and then go to Yan'an."

On 12 March, the cadres of our New Fourth Army who went to Yan'an to study The comrades who took the waterway set out from Wuduan

On the 13th, the boat sailed out of the mouth of the Yellow River, because the wind was not good, the boat retreated to the mouth of the Yanhe River and waited for the wind, at this time, the cadres who were taking the land route were not concentrated because the Japanese blockade was too strict, Chief of Staff Peng brought a small number of cadres to Tian Shouyao, and they gathered together, and decided to go by sea

Therefore, Division Commander Huang said: "This time all the cadres who went there were cadres above the regimental level, and they were the backbone force, and I hope that everyone will seize this great opportunity, learn their skills well, become good cadres, and serve the people wholeheartedly.

"Comrade Peng Xiong, chief of staff of the division, and Comrade Tian Shouyao, commander of the Eighth Brigade, are the chief and deputy captains, and Comrade Zhang Chimin, director of the administrative department, is the branch secretary of this team......

As soon as the cadres at and above the regimental level transferred to Yan'an for study by the New Fourth Army were concentrated at the headquarters of the Third Division in Funing, they received information from various localities in Huaihai and northern Jiangsu in the afternoon: The enemy had encircled Funing and preparations for the counter-sweep had begun, and our armed forces had dispersed to every corner of the base area to help the masses, persist in their work, and strike at the enemy

At this time, even if the cadres in Yan'an were reorganized and set up a team of cadres to go to Yan'an, there were fifty-one cadres in total, but there was not a single combatant, and most of them were armed with them, but they were only shell guns and pistols, and there were many female comrades

It was this non-combat unit that launched a mobile guerrilla war in the midst of the blockade of the enemy's dense strongholds in the Yanhe and Huaihai areas

The blockade line on the Salt River is a fortress for five miles, a watchtower for ten miles, and a dam between strongholds, and the boats of the common people crossing the river are forced to hang near the stronghold as soon as it gets dark, and there are enemy cavalry patrolling back and forth at night, and it was originally planned to cross the Salt River, Huaihai, and Longhai railways...... The route to Yan'an, Comrade Peng Xiong, in consideration of the changes in the situation, became even more determined to go by sea

Yoshiko Kawashima: Although this oriental witch has gone through several "blows" and led a group of murderous spies to the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Shandong, the result has been worse and worse each time

In the last two years, it was hard work and couldn't move a single hair of the Shandong Binhai Song Jiliu Martial Arts Team; Now they are running to the Soviet Union to mischief, and they are either caught off guard by the New Fourth Army, or they are beaten head-on in the green gauze tent, or they are beaten on the back of their buttocks; Either it will shoot a dense burst of bullets in the middle of the middle and intercept everything; When I chased it over, the mysterious green gauze tent hid the mysterious New Fourth Army again, and this kind of trouble made this oriental witch's heart even more angry

Recently, the Oriental Witch has been digging out her mind and trying to figure out that there is not a single day of calm in his experimental field of "ensuring public order" that she has personally chosen, and now the cadres of the New Fourth Army are still stepping into the ditch step by step, and they are almost getting to the bed of our imperial army's special forces

"This is really rubbing sand into the eyes of my Oriental Witch "The Oriental Witch thought of this, opened her dead eyelids slightly, and thought, "How to eat this cadre ......?"

This bad thing grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and in turn, his right hand grabbed his left hand again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the method that his subordinate, Captain Oda, had come up with, and she agreed with Oda's idea; In addition, he has to take another step in this method, the Oriental Witch Elephant Overboard touched the lifebuoy, opened his eyes, slapped his right hand on the table, and said to himself: "That's it."

"Today's intelligence has a research head" Zhang Aiping handed a note in her hand to Huang Kecheng, "The little devil's spy Fangzi's scar is not good, and I want to fish for the book again, I really see her big-headed ghost."

"The Oriental Witch let the hardcore traitor Xiao Tian be the captain and recruited some outlaws to set up an action team, which shows that she wants to put some money and effort on our cadres" Huang Kecheng read the information and said that he felt that the enemy had organized an action team, and the actions of the cadres would add more difficulties "In the future, whether it is the cadres or our left-behind cadres and soldiers, and even the masses in the village, they should be vigilant, otherwise they will suffer a big loss."

Zhang Aiping didn't reply, and she was also thinking about the secret service team The special service team is naturally a team of secret service activities What the hell is it like I haven't dealt with it I can't just think about it Carrying out activities in this area is like a person who goes into the mountains to hunt for wild beasts everywhere and beware of the attack of wild beasts Only by finding out the rules of the wild beast can we start hunting it The cadres of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army also talked to each other when they heard that the enemy had organized a group of special service teams:

"The name of the action team is strange, and who knows how it will work," Wu Xinquan, commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, said while touching his pistol and smoking a self-rolled cigarette

"What kind of action team, I think it's a duck duck team, if you meet us, if you don't beat him, Qingqing quacks all over the sky, I won't be surnamed Li," Li Xuesan, the political commissar of the Eighth Brigade of the Third Division of the Fourth Army, said loudly in his heart

Huang Kecheng looked at the cadres who attended the meeting and said, "It seems that the enemy's action is a conspiracy, and he also knows something about our cadres, so we must call a few companies to protect their safety."

"Okay, I'll personally bring two companies over and escort them to safety, ......," Zhang Aiping was saying when Wu Xinquan interrupted

Wu Xinquan: "...... Let me go, I'm familiar with ......."

"Don't fight, just call the combat staff officer," Huang Kecheng raised his hand and interrupted Brigade Commander Wu's words

In the middle of the night, the operations staff officer of the 3rd Division led two companies to Liwei Village, Dongkan Town (now Binhai County), where they joined the troops
