1940, one of the predecessors of Dongjiang Column , the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, one of the predecessors of Dongjiang Column , created Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area in Dawangling Village, Dalingshan Town, Dongguan, which was one of the earliest anti-Japanese base areas in South China, and an important part of , one of the nineteen anti-Japanese base areas in the country - Dongjiang Anti-Japanese Base Area, laying the foundation for the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in the Dongjiang area. It was called "the base area in the base area" by Zeng Sheng, the former commander of the Dongjiang Column.

Relying on the former site of the Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area as an important cultural relic, the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall has been upgraded and transformed. It has recently been newly opened. The newly upgraded "Dongjiang Iron Flow and Nanyue Flags" theme displays the development history of the Dongjiang Column from scratch and from small to large in all aspects, full process and panoramic display, and wonderfully reproduces the glorious years of revolutionary ancestors fighting for national independence and people's liberation.

Relying on the former address of the Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area,

One of the predecessors of the Dongjiang Column Dongguan Anti-Japanese Model Zhuang Teng Team was established in 1938 in Guancheng . It is the earliest people led by the Communist Party of China in Guangdong Province. In 1939, part of the Dongguan anti-Japanese model troop was reorganized into the Dongbao Huibian People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade, and the other part was incorporated into the Huibao People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps. In 1940, these two troops were combined into the Third and Fifth Battalions of the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, of which the Third Battalion was active in the Dongguan area. In 1942, the troops were expanded to Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps. In 1943, it was renamed Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps Dongjiang Column.

In October 1940, the Third Battalion of the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas led by Zeng Sheng and others came to Dawangling Village, Dalingshan. With the support of the local people, it built one of the two earliest anti-Japanese base areas in the Dongjiang area-Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area. Afterwards, a series of blood and fire guerrilla wars were experienced here to fight against the Japanese invaders.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, 10 of the 27 important battles of the Dongjiang Column during the Anti-Japanese War were launched in Dongguan , the most famous of which is the "Baihua Cave Battle" (the site is located in Baihua Cave Village, Dalingshan Town).

Relying on the former site of the Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area, Dongguan City built the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall in Dawangling Village, Dalingshan Town in September 2005 on the occasion of commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War.

The memorial hall has more than 5,000 pieces (set)

cultural relics collections are a testimony of history. For the memorial hall, its importance is beyond doubt. After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall has more than 5,000 pieces (sets), providing precious cultural relics resources for the history research, exhibition and publicity work of the Dongjiang Column. Among them, it includes the Dongjiang Column's official newspaper "Qianjin Newspaper", donated by Kuang Yaoshui, an old soldier in Dongguan Dongzong.

According to the staff of the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, with the deepening and development of guerrilla warfare, in January 1941, the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas founded the "Everyone Unity" newspaper in the third brigade that was active in the Daling Mountains of Dongguan. In February of the same year, the Fifth Battalion of the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas founded the "New People" newspaper in Yangtaishan District, Bao'an. These two newspapers are the earliest revolutionary newspapers founded in the Dongjiang Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Zone during the Anti-Japanese War period. In July 1941, in order to strengthen leadership, the Dongjiang Cultural Work Committee decided to merge the two newspapers after consulting Zeng Sheng and others, and still register for publication with "New People". In January 1942, the "New People" newspaper was renamed "Dongjiang Minbao". In February 1942, due to the need for development of the situation, the troops were expanded into the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.In March of the same year, the General Corps decided to rename the Dongjiang Minbao to Qianjinbao as the official newspaper of the General Corps. After the establishment of the Dongjiang Column on December 2, 1943, it continued to use the Forward Newspaper as the official newspaper of the army. During the hard years, newspaper staff carried wax paper, stencil, ink, printing tools and paper, and through the blockade line, they went to the enemy behind Dongguan and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade to the activity areas of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade to compile and print newspapers, spread the party's political propositions, and guided the anti-Japanese work and struggle in the Dongjiang region.

At the beginning of the 21st century, when I heard that Dongguan was preparing to build the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, Kuang Yaoshui took out this carefully collected newspaper and donated it to the memorial hall without hesitation.

Another Japanese RICOH camera was donated by Diao Huiwen, the widow of Wu Qiang, the former captain of the Beijiang Detachment of the Dongjiang Column.
