Historical background
On the eve of the decisive victory of China's military and civilians against Japanese fascist aggression, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a strategic decision of "absorbing a large number of intellectuals" and "setting up a large-scale cadre school in each base area as much as possible" in order to prepare a large number of reserve cadres for the victory of the comprehensive counterattack and the new-democratic revolution.
The Suzhong District Committee and the Suzhong Military Region were founded on the basis of the Anti-Dajiu Campus, focusing on training company and district-level cadres. The principal is Su Yu, the vice principal is Guan, and the full-time vice principal is Director of Education.
1in mid-August, 945, Xia served as the principal. On June 1 0944, the first opening ceremony was held in Jinwuzhuang, Baoying, the school headquarters. On June 1 0946, the first opening ceremony was held in Jinwuzhuang, Caodian, Baoying. By May, 1946, * * * has held five issues, and * * * has formed 44 student teams. Among them, there are 23 teams of educated youth, 7 teams of military cadres, 7 teams of local cadres, 6 teams of officers of the Liberation Puppet Army, and Japanese and Korean anti-Japanese brothers. * * * Training more than 4,000 transport cadres. The school moved to Qinggou, Xiaojiazhuang, Mengjiazhuang, Liujungou, Xi 'anfeng and Kuching successively (Baoying, Funing and Huai 'an counties are all border towns), 1945 moved to Xinghua Shagou in mid-August,10.3 moved to Dazhong Ji in Taihua (now Dafeng) County, and 65438+ moved to it. In early May, Xuefeng University in Central China merged with Xuefeng University and Suiying School in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Region. Xiashedian (now under the jurisdiction of the neighborhood committee) is located in the southeast of Caodian Town, which is 0/5km away from Baoying County/kloc. After the war of self-defense, a large amount of public grain of the county government was stored in Shu Xian Temple in the north of the area, which could not be transported away in time. 1946165438+1On the afternoon of October 30th, the 40th Brigade of the 25th Division of the Kuomintang reactionary army 1 13 Regiment 170 people and 80 people attacked Shedian from the county town in an attempt to rob public grain and kill the local people. The enemy went hand in hand with the land and went straight to Xiashedian. After learning about this situation, Pan Changfu, secretary of Caodian District Party Committee, immediately rushed to the county independent group station about 2.8 kilometers away from Xiashedian to report. After hearing the news, Zhang Ming, head of the county independent regiment, and Zhou Bolin, director of the county public security bureau, agreed that this was a favorable opportunity to focus on destroying the enemy, so they studied and formulated a three-way attack plan. Led by Zhou Bolin and Pan Changfu, the Special Service Company and Caodian District Team inserted behind the enemy's back first, while Zhang Ming led the Seventh Company to intercept the enemy head-on, and Xiang, the deputy chief of staff, led the Third Company to intercept the enemy's waist. At this time, the nearby militia and the masses also came to help. They hung coal fuel tanks on trees and lit firecrackers to confuse the enemy. The enemy was caught off guard after a sudden attack and fled in a hurry. In this battle, more than 50 people were killed, more than 40 people were captured, and 2 machine guns, more than 90 rifles and 6 grain carriers were seized. This battle started the first battle of Baoying local armed forces against the enemy's regular army, which greatly encouraged Baoying military and civilians to persist in fighting against the enemy and frightened the enemy. A few days later, Yan 'an Xinhua News Agency broadcast the news of the victory of the battle to the whole country.
In 20 13, the government erected a stone tablet-"Xiashedian Battle Site" in the place where the original "Xiashedian Battle" was held, in order to remember the great achievements of revolutionary martyrs and enhance contemporary people's national defense knowledge and concept. Since then, Caodian Town has added a "revolutionary traditional moral education base" on the basis of the original Suzhong Public School Memorial Hall and the tomb of forty martyrs.
