During the "May Day Sweeping" and the following months, the main forces that I failed to transfer in time suffered great losses. Our county cadres were forced to disperse and hide, and county brigades and district detachments were also forced to break up and go underground. With temporary advantages, the enemy "encircled" and "annihilated" all day, looking for anti-Japanese armed forces and anti-Japanese cadres everywhere, searching for anti-Japanese materials and killing anti-Japanese people crazily. Where they suffered losses, they retaliated, where there were anti-Japanese activities, they "eliminated", and where anti-Japanese cadres of the Eighth Route Army lived, they burned and looted. Made many terrible tragedies.

Te Wang, the head of Shenbei New Village, was injured in a battle. The enemy got the news in Beizhoubao, Te Wang's hometown, and killed Pan Bingwen, the anti-Japanese village chief, and seven innocent people within one month after the May Day raid. The most cruel thing is to tie the masses Liu and Wei to the saddle and drag them to death. In spite of this, the enemy was in vain. During this period, the enemy raped more than 20 women, one of whom was gang-raped to death. According to the statistics from June to July in Shennan six districts at that time, more than 50 people were slaughtered in the whole district and 25 people were killed in Liuzhuang village, among which Wang Jian died even worse. As soon as the enemy gunstocks fell, blood gushed from his head. The cruel enemy poured three spoonfuls of boiling water on his head and finally smashed it into patties with wooden sticks.

For example, Mujiazuo, a model anti-Japanese village in Shenbei, was killed by the enemy in 194 1 year and burned 740 houses. In the most sinister environment of "May Day Sweeping", the masses in the village are not afraid of rape, and always put national interests first, regardless of personal safety.
