1946, the Kuomintang reactionaries, with the support of U.S. imperialism, tore up the armistice agreement of July 1946 and launched an all-out attack on our liberated areas after long-term preparations for civil war. In China's East China Liberated Area, Chiang Kai-shek used more than 500,000 troops from 62 brigades. In the first four months, at the cost of 1 1 10,000 casualties, he occupied a large area of land in the Liberated Area and occupied some central cities such as Huaiyin. Chiang Kai-shek was carried away by "victory" and blatantly ignored the opposition of the people all over the country. At the meeting of the "pseudo-National Congress", he drew up a four-way attack plan on the liberated areas in East China. From1February 13, we plan to attack the No.4 road in the liberated area of northern Jiangsu. From1February 13, they invaded the liberated areas in northern Jiangsu, trying to seize northern Jiangsu first, open the eastern section of Longhai Railway, and cut off the connection between the two liberated areas in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, and then commit crimes in Shandong. After our army won a great victory in Lianshui, the enemy attacked me in multiple ways at the same time. Under the command of Commander Chen Yi, our army, in accordance with Chairman Mao's directive spirit of "concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy", began on December 5, starting from yi river in the north, Haizheng Highway in the south, Longan in the east, and the Canal in the west, and concentrated the superior forces of one division in the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 9th longitudinal divisions and 24 regiments in the 7th and 8th divisions to seize the relatively isolated and prominent enemy along the way. Thirteen regiments of six and a half brigades of the first division and the sixty-ninth division reorganized by the enemy of Suqian were divided and surrounded one by one. After five days and nights of fierce fighting, it ended successfully on1February 18. The great war broke through the main road of the enemy's four-way attack. Destroy an enemy division, three integrated brigades, an infantry regiment and an engineering regiment. On the battlefield of human peace and fairness, Dai, the commander of the enemy's sixty-ninth division, was killed, and Yao, the deputy commander of the enemy's sixty-ninth division, and Huang, the brigade commander of the tenth brigade, were captured alive. Killed and captured more than 2 1500 enemy officers and soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. This greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the enemy and ended the war siege in northern Jiangsu. This is the biggest battle that my field army in East China and Shandong paid little cost. It was commanded by Commander Chen Yi (and political commissar), Deputy Commanders Su Yu and Zhang, Chief of Staff Chen Shiju and Director of Political Department of Tang Liang.

After the victory of the war in northern Jiangsu, Commander Chen Yi proudly wrote an inscription: "What's the doubt about the enemy's arrival at the canal?" Look at the peaks and mountains and bury them. "
