Features: At the beginning of the Liberation War, the main forces of the Kuomintang army pressed heavily towards Northeast China, forming a severe confrontation between the two sides. At this time, in the rear of our army, the Kuomintang also gathered some puppet officials, police, landlords, local tyrants, ruffians, and opium addicts to organize bandit forces, which were called the so-called "Central Advance Army." They constantly carried out military harassment, putting our army in a vulnerable position. When our army withdrew forces to clear them out, some defeated Kuomintang bandit leaders sneaked out of the deep mountains and forests, engaging in frenzied burning, killing, looting, and committing atrocities of unheard of cruelty. To eliminate the bandit menace, Shao Jianbo led a small team of 36 people into the vast forests and snowy wilderness, confronting these "shark-like and sparrow-like" enemies.
