Henan (Western Henan) Anti-Japanese Base Area is one of the nineteen anti-Japanese base areas under the direct leadership of the Communist Party during the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It is adjacent to the Pinghan Railway in the east, to Ling (Bao) and Shaanxi (County) in the west, to Funiushan in the south, and to Yellow River in the north. In September 1944, the Eighth Route Army's Western Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment headed by Pi Dingjun Xu Zirong came to Dengfeng, and after four months, it established the Songshan Jishan Anti-Japanese Base. In February 1945, Commander Wang Shusheng and Secretary Dai Xiuying and Political Commissar and other leaders led their troops to Dengfeng from Yan'an . After meeting with Pi Xu Advance Detachment, which arrived in Baiping, they stationed the district party committee and military district headquarters in Sunqiao Village, Xuzhuang, Dengfeng in March, commanding the bloody battles between the military and civilians in Henan. After more than a year of war of resistance, they carried out more than 400 battles of all sizes and large, established 35 anti-Japanese county governments, completed the strategic task of the Party Central Committee to "develop Henan and connect the Central Plains" and won a comprehensive victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

To restore this whole historical picture and recognize the important contributions and significance of the Henan (Western Henan) Anti-Japanese Base Area in the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under the leadership of the Henan Provincial Association for the Promotion of the Elderly and the Provincial Party History and Local History Research Office, a high-standard editorial board was established, and Dengfeng was the chief editorial board. The book was set up in a chronological format and a festival with monthly festivals, with a total of more than 300,000 words, covering major and important events in the process of the establishment of the Henan (Western Henan) Anti-Japanese Base Area from April 1944 to October 1945.

The experts at the meeting believe that this book is a preliminary achievement of adhering to the correct view of party history, containing revolutionary ideas, objectively, comprehensively, systematically and fully recording Henan Anti-Japanese Base Area From pioneering development, striving for victory, to completing the historical mission, major achievements and historical experience. "This major event is written in a relatively systematic way, and the historical materials are relatively sufficient. It summarizes the basic situation of the Henan Anti-Japanese Base Area and clarifies the basic context." said Guo Xiaoping, an expert in the provincial party history. Wang Quanying, a researcher at the Institute of History of Henan Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the Dengfeng Old Promotion Association has sorted out a clear main line in the chaotic and complex historical events and materials, which is not only a contribution to the study of the history of the Henan Anti-Japanese War, but also an extremely valuable reading material for the next generation of revolutionary traditional education. "The Great Events" is an innovation in the historical research of Henan's anti-Japanese base areas. For the first time in history, it records the development process of Henan's anti-Japanese base areas in a relatively systematic and complete detail. Focusing on the development context and main line of Henan's anti-Japanese base areas, it records in detail the major events and important events that occurred within the base areas, namely, western and central Henan regions. It is a precious material on national and party history." said Zhang Guochen, professor at Henan University . Wang Zhang, president of the Zhengzhou Old District Construction Promotion Association, admitted that the current manuscript writing work still has shortcomings in thinking and vision, and we should strive for further close cooperation from various regions and be determined to compile the manuscript into a documentary work that shows the spirit of the military and civilians in Henan’s war of resistance.

It is understood that the Provincial Association for Promotion of Old People's Promotion will regard the compilation of "Great Events" as an important part of the cultural construction project of the old revolutionary base areas in Henan, and strive to compile a high-quality and authoritative base history book to write a glorious history of the Party leading the Henan military and civilians in order to strive for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, so that the red culture can be passed down from generation to generation.

Henan (Western Henan) Anti-Japanese Base Area is one of the nineteen anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines led by the Communist Party during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It was specifically created by the founding general Wang Shusheng and the revolutionary predecessors Dai Jiying, Pi Dingjun, Xu Zirong and others. The scope involves an area of nearly 30,000 square kilometers south of the Yellow River and west of the Pinghan Railway Line, with a population of 8 million, and 34 county party committees and county governments have been established.
On April 18, 1944, in order to save its failure on on the Pacific battlefield of , the Japanese invaders opened up the north-south transportation supply line in mainland China, crossed the new Yellow River channel, and launched the Henan Battle with 50,000 troops. The 400,000 Kuomintang troops guarding Henan, due to their long-term adherence to the reactionary policy of actively anti-communism and passively resisting Japan, were about to collapse in the face of the Japanese attack and retreated and fled. The Japanese army pursued them reluctantly, and their troops gradually increased to 148,000. By May 25, less than a month and a half, 45 counties in western Henan were lost. Wherever the Japanese army went, they did everything they could do to burn, kill, loot, and the people lived in dire straits.
In order to fight against the enemy, collect lost land and save the people, Chairman Mao of the Party Central Committee issued a timely instructions to march behind the enemy in Henan. In September 1944, Deng Xiaoping, who was in charge of the work in Taihang Military Region, quickly formed the Eighth Route Army's Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment in western Henan, with Pi Dingjun as commander and Xu Zirong as political commissar, with 1,760 people set off from Lin County to the Songshan area behind enemy lines in Henan to carry out anti-Japanese struggle. Then, the Second Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in western Henan, with Han Jun as the commander and Liu Jukui as the political commissar, was formed from Taiyue Military Region, and the Second Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in western Henan, heading to the Mianchi area of Luoyang to fight against Japan. After more than four months of struggle, the anti-Japanese base in Songshan Jishan in ten counties centered on Dengfeng and the anti-Japanese base centered on Xin'an , Mianchi , and Yiyang were created.
In order to strengthen Henan's anti-Japanese forces and unify the anti-Japanese struggle in Henan, just as Pi Dingjun and Xu Zirong arrived in Dengfeng, Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee formed the Henan District Party Committee of the Communist Party of China with Wang Shusheng as the commander and Dai Jiying as the secretary and political commissar, and Eighth Route Army Henan Military Region , which was called the Henan People's Anti-Japanese Army in Yan'an.
On February 26, 1945, Wang Shusheng and Dai Jiying led their troops to Bailiping, Dengfeng, and met with Pi Dingjun and Xu Zirong who arrived in advance. A meeting was held in Dongbailiping, announcing the central government's decision to unify and reorganize the Eighth Route Army's troops into Henan, and establish six detachments, military sub-district , six prefectural committees, and special agency . At the same time, a local army was also incorporated and renamed it to the Henan People's Anti-Japanese Army, which was also under the leadership of the Henan Military Region. The bases created by Pi Xu and others were quickly expanded to more than 30 counties west of the Pinghan Line, ushering in a comprehensive victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. On October 1, 1945, Wang Shusheng and Pi Dingjun once again gathered on the river beach in Bailiping, Dong Dengfeng. Under the order of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, they evacuated southwest Henan and went to Tongbai , and met with the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army.
