Chapter 68 8. The significance of the battle in Chenzhuang

In the establishment and consolidation of the Jinchaji Border Region, the Eighth Route Army and the people of the Jinchaji Border Region jointly shed infinite blood.We must always defend our border region from being destroyed and ravaged by Japanese bandits.But the Japanese bandits tried in every possible way to destroy and eliminate it, so cruel and holy struggles continued, and the Chenzhuang battle was one of the glorious scenes. The battle of Chenzhuang gave a powerful answer to the Japanese bandits who attempted to destroy the border area. This victory will undoubtedly prolong the time for the enemy to attack the border area again, and make the enemy's future attacks more careful and cautious.At the same time, it has improved the confidence of our military and civilians in defending the border area.

The War of Resistance has entered a stage of stalemate. The enemy's strategic policy is mainly based on political offensives on the front (to lure surrender, split the united front, in order to achieve the goal of destroying China), and on our anti-Japanese base areas in the enemy's rear. It is not to say that the enemy will relax his schemes to induce surrender, sow discord, and split the united front in the enemy's rear; the opposite will also be strengthened).The victory in the Chenzhuang battle dealt a serious blow to the enemy's strategic policy and made it even more difficult for the enemy with insufficient troops.The Chenzhuang battle was one of the exemplary battles of annihilation behind the enemy lines in the stalemate.

Domestic diehards are stepping up their opposition to the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, creating friction and splitting unity as preparations for surrender.The victory in the Chenzhuang battle was exchanged for the blood of hundreds of Communist Party members and heroic commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army.This shows what?It shows that the members of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by them are the most loyal to the cause of national liberation, loyal to the anti-Japanese national united front, resolutely resisting Japan to the end, able to win the support of the anti-Japanese masses across the country, and able to improve the anti-Japanese sentiment and confidence of the national people.The victory of the Chenzhuang battle also shattered the shameless plots of domestic diehards, capitulators, anti-communists, and Trotskyist traitors!Facts speak louder than words.
