Features: After the "July 7th Incident," North China fell to the Japanese invaders. As the Kuomintang army retreated step by step and the Japanese forces advanced southward, the Eighth Route Army advanced into enemy territory. The Red Army commander disguised himself to recruit troops, while a certain unit of the Northeast Army resolutely turned back. The indomitable sons and daughters of Yan and Zhao rose up in rebellion, and behind enemy lines, the Jin-Chao Anti-Japanese Base Area quietly rose, terrifying the Japanese invaders. When the Japanese forces occupying China had to replace the commander of the North China Area Army and withdraw frontline troops to suppress and sweep them, they fell into a "people's war that continued day and night, without pause or end," thanks to tactics such as tunnel warfare, raiding and sabotage warfare, sparrow warfare, and aquatic guerrilla warfare. Over eight years of the War of Resistance, the blood of Jin-Chao-Ji could have floated boats; over eight years of the War of Resistance, the people and soldiers of Jin-Chao-Ji wrote a glorious page in the anti-invasion war. This book, with rich and detailed historical materials and vivid, engaging stories, comprehensively and systematically records the struggles of this model anti-Japanese base area. With its strong local flavor, it presents a series of touching battle scenes against the enemy.
