1944年,我新四军三师在益林地区召开纪念俄国十月革命节大会,同时庆祝我师在反“扫荡”中所取得的伟大胜利。当时日本帝国主义在太平洋战场上惨遭失败后,已无大的力量对我根据地进行地毯式的“扫荡”了。1943年,日军在我盐阜、淮海两根据地新安的几十个据点,如今大部分被我们拔除了,约万余守敌被我歼灭。所以,在这种大好形势下,我们师发展壮大很快,不仅有主力部队七旅、八旅、十旅、独立旅,而且还有十几个独立团,总实力超过7万余。军民关系、党群关系空前的好!在这样大好形势下,召开庆祝大会,意义特别重大! In 1944, the three divisions of the New Fourth Army held a meeting in commemoration of the October Revolutionary Revolution in Russia in the Yulin area while celebrating the great victory my teacher made in opposing “mopping up”. At that time, after Japan’s imperialism failed miserably in the battlefield of the Pacific Ocean, it did not have the great power to carry out a carpet-type “mopping-up” on me. In 1943, the dozens of strongholds of the Japanese army in Xinan, the two bases of our Yanfu and Huaihai areas, were now mostly removed by us. About a thousand enemy defenders were wiped out by me. Therefore, under this excellent situation, our division has grown rapidly and has not only the main brigade of the seven brigades, the eight brigades, the ten brigades, the independent brigade, but also a dozen independent delegations with a total strength exceeding 70,000. The relationship between the military and the people and the relations between the party and the masses are unprecedentedly good! Under such a good situation, it is of special significance to convene a celebration party!
