一九三八年五、六月间,陈毅、张鼎丞分别率领新四军一、二支队挺进苏南,与粟裕率领的先遣支队一同展开敌后游击战争,开辟了以茅山为中心的苏南抗日根据地。当时,国民党只许新四军在句容、江宁、丹阳、镇江四县活动,阴谋把我军置于日伪重兵盘踞的南京外围,借日寇兵力消灭我军。 In May and June 1938, Chen Yi and Zhang Dingcheng led the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army into the southern part of Jiangsu Province respectively, launching the guerrilla war with the advanced detachment led by Su Yu and opening up the anti-Japanese base Sunanan centered on Maoshan. At that time, the Kuomintang only allowed the New Fourth Army to take part in the four counties of Jurong, Jiangning, Danyang and Zhenjiang, plotting to put our army on the periphery of Nanjing, heavily armed by Japanese and puppet troops and to exterminate our army by Japanese troops.
